Which is Your Way.

DR.. Delannoz, an observant French
man, says: To ascertain the quail
ties Of an applicant for cook, it is suf-
ficient to give her plate to clean, a
sauce to make, and watch how she
moves her hand in either act. Ifshe
moves it from left to right, or in the
direction of the hands ola watch, you
may trust her; if the other way, she
is certain to be stupid and incapable.

Be Inventive.

Amer. Art Printer.
There are few expression we hear
more frequently than that feeble wall
of the cowardly or lazy mind, II
can't" Every day we see people
who permit their progress to be
stopped by tritles which, instead of
retarding them, should spur every
faculty up to the resistive, conquer
ing point. 81 can't" and 81 forgot"
are two fatal phrases which should be
scratched from the vocabulary of
every young man or woman who is
ambitious of being or doing anything
in this world that shall deserve to be
recorded.
Be inventive. Cultivate the Gre
alive side Of your brain. Don't be
stumped. When you seem to be
cornered is the very moment to stir
yourself and devise some way of
making things work.
The Chicago Herald, little while

"Talking about ingenuity" said

what saw last winter out West. |
was on train that was showed in for
three days. The company sent us
food, but they didn't send any cigars,
and the train boys stock was exhaus-
ted the first day. In the express car
we found and confscated a box of
smoking tobacco, but there wasn't
a pipe on the train. Among the
passengers was Connecticut Yankee
who was just dying for smoke. He
got out in the snow and looked
around for a weed, or something of
that sort, which he might use in
making a pipe, but couldn't find a
thing. Pm going to have a pipe,
anyhow he said. So he took a
lead pencil, opened the wood, took
out the lead, and, placing the two
strips together again, wound them
tightly with the tin foil which came
off the packages of smoking tobacco,
making them alright. Then he
took an apple, followed bowl out OF
it, stuck his lead pencil stem into it,
and had one of the incest pipes you
ever saw. If you don't believe it,
make one for yourself some time and
try"
This was a common trick in the
army, when we could get neither
reeds nor corn cobs, and sweet pipes
they made in every sense. When
apples were unobtainable, which was
not seldom, we fell back upon
potatoes.
