MATTiE'S HEROIC MEASURE.

low an Invaluable servant Entertained
Guests Until the Bread Came.
A lady from Kansas, who was visiting
a family on Walnut street, West Phila-
delp;iia, a week or more ago, told Phil
adelphia Press reporter a wonderfully
clever story of Il wonan's wit.
When my husband was a candidate
for the State senate we lived on farm
two miles from our nearest neighbor
and four miles from town. One day
just as we were sitting down to dinner
wagon drove up containing four of my
husbands political friends. They were
influential and ex .,ected to dine with
us. To my horror tie Irish maid who
lived with us informed me as we had all
assembled thai there was just bread
was 40 flour III the house for biscuits.
Here was a terrible and unusual guam
lary Four able bodied men and bread
enough for only two of them. Only a
woman witt, her husbands interests at
stake can appreciate my feelings. l
called my oldest son out of the room,
put Linn on a horse, with bag over his
arm, and told him to ride on a gallop to
Mrs BIS, our nearest neighbor, and
borrow all the bread she had, explaining
NV predicament AS Bob rode away
my servant, Matte, said: "Sure. ma'am,
the Tread will all be gone intirely before
| the lad raches BIS. But just lave it
| till me, " she added, with grin. Don't
worry your swate sowl about it; We'll
nave it in time.
I went back to the dining room, and
my heart dropped as l saw that only
t,rur or five slices of bread were left on
| the plate, though there was an abun-
lance of meat and vegetables. Sud
denly Mattie's head was stuck in the
door, and in a voice of CONSERVATION,
| with terror written on her face, she
fairly yelled: "Plaze, mum, the shta ble's
Oh fire.
In an instant the dining room was de-
serted, our guests sprang to their feet,
and headed by my husband, rushed from
the room Sure enough, there were vol
umes of blush smoke pouring out of the
stable door, and through the cracks il
the boards. There was frantic rush fol
water buckets and the we'll and a long
chase out to the barn. But somehow
Matte was there first with a bucket Of
water, and had the fire nearly extin
guished by the time the others arrived
1t took fifteen minutes to get order re
stored, and by that time Bob had al
rived with the bread. Matte hae
started the fire in an old vinegar bar
rel with some straw. 1t was risky
piece of business, thought, until the
sharp witted girl told me that she hat
dampened the straw so that it wouit
make a heavy smoke, and afterwart
had covered the barrel with pieces o.
loose boards thoroughly dampened.

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING.

Flannels should be ironed on the wrong
side with an iron that barely sizzles un-
der a wet finger until they are quite dry.
A good cement for china is ordinary
carriage varnish. If put together neatly,
the fracture will be hardly perceptible,
and is not affected by water.
Galvanized iro on pals are not desirable
receptacles for drinking water. The
zinc coating is quickly affected by water,
forming poisonous oxide OF zinc.
To pre- vent polished steel from rusting.
after cleaning and wi hen not in use, take
a cloth, with a very little sweet oil on it,
and wipe the articles over so as to slightly
but evenly oil the surface.
If one wishes to cool hot dish in a
hurry it will be found that il the dish be
placed in a vessel full of cold salty water
it will cool far more rapidly than il 1t
stood in water free from salt
A boiling hot liquid may be safely
poured into a glass jar or tumbler by
first putting a silver spoon in the vessel.
Be careful, however, that q draft OF cold
air does not strike the vessel while hot.
Delicately colored goods of any kind
should never be wGshed without salt
water bath first, but care should be ex.
ercised in reference to materials which
are likely to shrink when immersed in
water.
Shoes that are worn regularly, ii cared
for, will last much longer than il neg
lected. When shoes are taken of they
should be wiped with soft cloth, and
after airing little while, oiled sr polished
and put in box by themselves or sho'
bag.
Sometimes shoe will press 50 closely
upon tender joint that great dis
comfort results, and one feels willing t.
sacrifice almost anything to secure ease
Try wetting bit of hot flannel in no
water and laying itacross the tight place
Do this several times and the leathe
