experiments. Rasp some potatoes on a
crater, knead the pulp thus obtained with
water and squeeze it in linen cloth the.
fbrous PARTICLES of the cells remain behind,
but the juice, together with a large proper
ton of the starch, runs through. Let the
liquid remain quiet for some hours: it be-

wash the starch several times with fresh
water, allowing it TO settle each time, and
then dry in a moderately warm place. and
starch will be the result.
Heat in flask the liquid poured from
the starch, and after boiling a few mo
ments it deposits fiaky substance. which
is vegetable albumen.

Balzac has said that at thirty a woman
is at her most fascinating ard dangerous
age-dangerous to the hearts of men.
Perhaps no writer understood so well his
own countrywomen as Balzac and no one
has contributed quite so many cynical allu-
sions to the sex in general But Balzac's
criticisms would apply to certain type of
woman, more seen in France, letps hope,
than in our own America af'oVhe blase
man of the world the blushing debutante
il peculiarly attractive. But it is the
woman of thirty who whirls him in vor-
tex Of emotions She has lived and ex-
peTienced, and she is alert to every sensi-
bility. She revels in the part of heroine,
and in the disturbances and agitations Of
which she is the cause. She looks upon
the dainty creature of twenty as milk and
rosebuds-so simple
She goes on indefatigably playing her
part. In perfect knowledge of her charms,
unlike the young thing" by her side,
she uses each to advantage. She knows,
through her we'll trained intuition, the
particular weakness-the grande passion,
so TO speak-of each victim. And with great
inesse she becomes, for the time, an en-
thusiast upon the same subject, pursues,
with we'll feigned sincerity, the same fad"
whether politics or athletics, theosophy or
music-from Beethoven to Strauss-she
will always be found devotee to each.
Flattery in its sweetest subtlety, satire in
its keenest Hashes, are well at her com.
mand. For aasl for her the time is rapidly
approaching when she must range among
the lockers on; when the chill Of autumn
will usher in the Indian summer Fortu-
nate is she if it brings with it the ripe
graces and the poetic suggestions which
give to that season of decay it's most mellow
charm. True hearted is she if she earns at
last the best success this world can give;
the possession Of a brave and helpful spirit,
rich in self knowledge, self control and
self help, n tombstone to all who approach

In a Free Disnensarv.

"Its really strange thing to me,
said one of the staff at a hospital dis
pensary, as a jeweled hand reached in
at the little window of the drug store to
take the bottles of charity medicines
and thrust them in the folds of an ex-
pensive coat; lit really is a strange
thing to me how person as well off in

said to another well dressed yo

How Women Use Slang.

II object" says a clever man, ito the
cowardly way women have of swearing
and using slang Have you never noticed
how they do it? In quotation marks
When woman is so deeply moved that
she wants to swear does she give vent to
the round, satisfying single syllable that a
man would? Not at all. She says it, to
be sure, but she sneaks into the satisfac
ton of it in something this way; If were
man. she says, Il should say so and so. ,
And saying so and So spelled with four
letters, has given her again the temper Of
an angel without having brought upon
her the opprobrium of having actually
sworn
I'm much the same way does she use a
slang expression. The real gentlewoman
stands unwilling before the vulgarity of
slang. She wants its pith and point at
times, but she doesn't want TO adopt it as
her own out and out So when she uses a
bit of it she prefaces it by some such re-
mark as This is what a man would call, ,
or uses it first and then disclaims it by an
nexing as a man would say Or, neatest
of ALL by dainty infection of her voice
she throws the expression into quotation
points. Don't you recall it?
"A man says to her, for instance, 4 feel a
little "seedy" this morning. and she asks
in return. How does man feel when he
feels ''seedy?"' Until she reaches that last
word she speaks in her own voice and per
son. just there she makes a little pause
her voice shifts into a key of lady like dep
recation, and she says the word, but says
it in way that reminds the man at once
that the word is his and not hers
Just watch the next woman who uses
slang in your presence, and see if you do
not catch the quotation point tone at once,
and see if you do not feel, when she is
done, that, though she has used the ex
preston out and out, she has not for "A

Very few young people realize the inn
mense charm of gentle, courteous home
manners. 1t is not only that it is right
and the duty of every Christian gentle
woman and gentleman, but it is infinitely
lovely and attractive to see girls and boys

people and in their every day life the same
courtesy and the same consideration that
they exercise in society.

IN NO MANS LAND.

Two shapes were walking on the strand
One starlit night in no mans land;
Two shapes that during earthly life
Gave hate for hate in deadly strife.
They met. Swift forth their falchions flew:
Each pinned the other through and through
Yet neither fell. Again they strove
For mastery. and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bright
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night.
Through corselet, casque and visor, too,
AS through the air their swift blades few;
Until amazed, they stood aghast,
And on the sands their weapons cast.
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
The passing dream of earthly life.
And clasping each the others hand,
They walk the shades of no mans land

A Novel wedding Trip.

A novel method of spending a honey.
moon has recently been added to the list of
unique wedding journeys in coaches, on
house boats or yachts. A young Viennese
bridegroom procured for the trip a new
furniture van with three horses and
driver. The interior he fitted up in a most
daintily luxuriant way with every comfort
and convenience dear to the feminine heart.
Just how the light was supplied is not easy
to conjecture, for the ordinary furniture
van has no windows. Possibly electricity
may have diffused it's soft radiance from
depending globes of roseate hue, or the
isolated lovers may have lived only in the
soft light of each others eyes.
The cooking problem would also arise to
any one but lovers, but whether the diner
united the culinary art with that of han
ding the reins, or whether the young wom-
an herself was a cooking school graduate,
is not known. Anyway the pair expect TO
spend two months honeymoon at a cost
OF little more than 500 per month, rum
bling about the country in their own private
conveyance, with buffet accommodations.
Should the fashion become general there
could be no May day weddings, for fancy
the indignation of matrons from whom the
romantic Authorizations of marriage have
vanished in the prosaic realities of three
meals a day and babies with the collie de
laying their moving while pair of lovers
roam about the country in idyllic seclusion.
