Notes For Housewives Who Desire 70 Set

The contents Of the spice-box are an
essential matter if the housewife de-
sires to set a good table. The store
closet must be well supplied with dried
herbs for seasoning, condiments of all
kinds of the best quality and well-se-
lected spices. A fresh supply of all
these articles should be secured from
thoroughly trustworthy grocer or spice
merchant in the fall when the fresh
supply for the year comes in Fall
picking and preserving will usually
finish up all spice left over. 1t is best
to use such old spice in some of the
cheaper pickles. by all means using
fresh spices in choice preserves. Old
stores of herbs had better be put in the
fire and the supply Of the new crop Sc
cured. 1t is far better not only to grind
your own spices. but to prepare your
own herbs. Tin boxes of powdered
spices and herbs are too often adulter-
ated, an impossibility when the herb is
homegrown, and very nearly impossible

purchaser is any Judge of spices Spices
are quite often soaked and the essential
flavor taken for essences and the spice
sold when its flavor is nearly gone. To
test nutmegs scrape the outside and
see if the oil follows, that is, if the nut

mains dry. it should be rejected. A

sons Visit to Deer PARK.
There is little messenger boy 1t
Deer Park who thinks the wife of the
President of the United States the kind
est woman in the world. He is . poor
little chap. this Harry Schoolcraft, but
with an honest-manly face, and some
how he manages to get along and almost
entirely supports father and mother
who are both invalids, and a younger
brother. For many a day he carried
messages from the hotel telegraph Office
to the White House cottage, usually
giving them to the pre-occupied Presi-
dent or his busy private secretary. One
day he came away from the cottage with
bright face. Some one asked him if
he had handed the message to the Presi-
dent himself. and then spoke of the
honor of being the bearer of dispatches
to the chief magistrate of the United
States. Harry blushed. He was pat
riot and loyal. but he finally blurted
out:
II would lots rather give them to Mrs.
Harrison: she always gives me fifty
cents
Whether it was due to the half-dollars
or Mrs. Harrison's uniform kindness to
layers who came down to the station at
the Presidents and Mrs. Harrison's de-
parture from Deer Park. Harry didn't
know it. but it was his lucky day. He
sat on the truck the picture of woe while
the following dialogues were going on:
Mrs. Halford to Mr.. Halford:
Don't forget to give the little mes
senger boy dollar"
Mrs. Harrison to the President:
Il haven't any change Benjamin; will
YOU give that poor little boy some
thing?-
The President to his private secre-
tary:
See to it. will you. Halford. that the
messenger boy gets good fee?"
AS result of these commands Mr..
Halford gave the lad on the truck So.
but did not mention the fact to any one.
Mrs. Halford passed him little later.
and. fearing that her husband had for
gotten him. she drew out 81 and handed
it to the boy. As the train pulled up
Harry was perched on the railing to get
last view of his munifcent but depart
ing patrons. Mrs. Harrison saw him.
The little messenger boy, Benjamin:
ion't forget him.
"Ah. yes said the absent-minded
President, shaking hands with the sur
prised Harry. and leaving in his palm
change that amounted to exactly $3.50.
In the car the subject was mentioned.
Did you" queried Mrs. Halford.
II did" answered her husband
1T is all right. Halford: had the
change. SO | feed the boy" said the
President.
$50 did I" remarked the secretary
pensively. looking out of the observa-
ton end of the fast departing car to the
open-mouthed lad on the fence. who still
held one hand full of the Presidents
quarters. and drew from his pocket with
the other Lies munificent donations.

1t has been calculated that in a cubic
centimetre of milk (about twenty drops)
there may be between 100000 and s.
100000 microbes, and possibly hundreds
or thousands Of different kinds; and the
next twenty drops of milk may contain
as many more varieties. The microbes
in drop of water taken from the we'll
may consist in number of straight
rods: at the end Of an hour the rods
break in two. and in another hour an
other division takes place. the number
doubling about every hour. Every
minute that the water is exposed to the

yet water is pronounced good or bad.
