TELLING POINTS.

Mr.. Wilson's declaration that the
Democratic party would never permit
this to become either pauper or pl-
rate nation was cheored roundiy.
The statement that the reciprocity OF
the Mckinley bill meant rather retalia-
ton. and retaliation against our own
people. was also applauded heartily.
Simple Simon fishing for whales IN his
mothers raiu-barrel and catching an
occasional wiggle-waggle presented TOO
truly realistic a picture OF reciprocity
according to the Present Aepl0hcan
plan. 1h's characterization caused
laughter and shouts Of applause.
Quick, impctuous shouts greeted the
.tatement that tho Democratic candi-
date would not receive congratulations
rom the foreign castles Of protection OF
the barons OF this country.

wonder that he fayors the reciprocity

the pages OF burlesque literature for
ANYTHING more supremely ludicrous
than the so-called reciprocity OF the
Mckinley bill.
RECIPROCITY IS RETALIATION.
"It is not reciprocity at all. 1t IS re-
taliation. and, worst of all, retaliation on
our own people. Itpunishes American
citizens for the necessities or the follies
Of other peoples. 1t says TO a few small
countries south Of US: If you are

Careful Cookery.

The orthodox rule for the cooking of
meat, fish and fowls, says Womankind, is
to allow quarter of an hour to every
pound; yet this recipe needs to be mixed
with brains. Some families like rare,
others well-done meats; again, joint
may be unusually thick, or remarkably
thin; again, full grown and mature
meats, such as beef and mutton are best
with the red gravy oozing from them !;
while immature. or white meats, such as
lamb, veal, pork, ETC., are absolutely
dangerous unless done through to the
bone. A good rule is to allow twelve
to fifteen minutes, according to the taste
of the family and the thickness of the
joint, for the cooking OF every pound Of
beef and mutton; fifteen to eighteen nj
utes for the cooking Of every pound OF
pork, veal, lamb, ham, bacon, fish, and
every kind of fowl.

A Boys Room.

In the first place, give boy as good
a room as you can spare for him. He
should not have the best in the house,
OF course. That would be impraeticable
for many reasons, the most important
of all being that it would give him too
great sense of his importance.
The furniture of the room should
consist of a good bed, a dressing case,
washstand with drawers. two straight
chairs and rocking chair, book
shelves, and writing besk. If he is
fond of reading and is likely to collect
number of books. low bookcase
may be used. But if you do not have
the bookcase, at least have hanging
book shelves; for every boy has a few
books which he likes to keep as his
own. If the writing desk can be so
arranged that it can be locked, so
much the better; and have one or two
drawers in the dressing case or wash
stand SO that they can be locked. A
boys treasures are very valuable to
him, and he always has a few things
which he thinks it is important to keep
under lock and key, whether anybody
else thinks so or not.
The decorative articles should be
selected with view to pleasing the
occupant of the room; and, so far as
possible, it would be we'll to let him
exercise his own taste in this regard,
under the mild guidance of more ex-
perienced person. A few good pictures
on subjects pleasing to him may be
selected. If he is fond of military
subjects, and most boys are, any army
relics fastened against the wall will be
suitable; and a rack for his gun or a
hook on which to hang his racquet will
be appreciated. An American flag is
also very appropriate to Grape on the
wall, Do not clutter up the mautel
with pieces of bric-a brac, but leave
plenty of room for him to arrange as he
chooses the picture of his dog, or OF
the last foot ball game, or any other
subject which has passing interest,"

THE household,
TO GET RID OF ANTS.
Good Advice to Housekeepers Who
are Bothered by Them.

This is about the time of year we
hear housew ives complain of being
''tormented almost to death" by little
red ants. 1t is simply impossible to
shut them out of anything, for they are
so small that they will go into places
where it seemed as if nothing could get
in. For the benefit of those who are
troubled with them I will mention sew
eral things which are said to be effective
in keeping them away. AS soon as the
ants are discovered remove all the old
papers from your shelves and burn
them up. Wash all the shelves with
strong soap suds and sprinkle insect
power around the edges. Put ON fresh
papers and sprinkle the powder around
the edges of them. This will some
times drive them away end they will
not come back again. If they do put
out fresh powder.
Some say that they will not cross a
heavy chalk mark, and l know of one
lady who made a heavy chalk mark
around her bread jar, leaving about an
inch between the jar and the mark and
ants did not go into the jar. If the
chalk mark will prevent them from
getting to anything. pulverized chalk
sprinkled around will take the place of
the insect powder and will be perfectly
harmless.
Tho Peoples Home Journal gives
the following to destroy ants: Half a
pound of -four of birthstone and four
ounces of potash placed over the fire in
an iron or earthen pan, until dissolved
and united, then beaten into powder
and a little of it infused in water.
Wherever this is sprinkled the ants
will die or leave the place. There is
surely something which may be done to
rid house of such pests, and if any Of
the readers Of this paper know of any.
thing else that will drive them away, we
will be glad to have them answer
through this paper. In that way it will
reach many homes and may help many
a sister out of difficulty.

BANK METHODS.

hence an example may be of some i'm
portance. Mr.. A has 81 900 which he
deposits in a bank, for which he re-
ceives certificate of deposit. Mr.. B
wishes to borrow some money, is loaned
$3.50 of AS deposit, and $3.50 is put
aside by the bank as the required re-
serve. B pays this money to Mr.. G on
debt, and C deposits it in the same
bank. Mr.. d wants some money and il
loaned three fourths of the $3.50 depos-
tied by c, or $562.50, and $3.50 isput
aside as reserve. D pays this money
to Mr.. E, who deposits it in the bank.
Mr.. F wants to borrow some money,
and is loaned three fourths of Els depos.
it, or $421.87, and $4,000 is put with
the reserve. F pays a debt to Mr.. G,
who in turn deposits the money in the
same bank. Mr. H wants some money
and is loaned three. fourths of the money
deposited by G. or S216.40, and
Sl0547 is laid aside as reserve. H
pays his money to Mr.. I, who deposits
it as the others have done. Now comes
Mr.. j, who borrows three fourths
of rs deposit, or s237.3O, and 1910
goes to the reserve fund. ] pays his
debt to Mr.. X, who returns the same to
the bank on deposit. Mr.. L torrows
three .fourths of it as others have, or
$177.97, and the other one.fourth,
$5S 80, is held as reserve. l. pays this
to Mr.. M, who likewise deposits it in
the same manner. Mr.. n needs some
money and bcrrows three.fourths of Ms
deposit, or S133 AZ, and again A AZ is
put with the reserves. N pays it to Mr..
o, who in turn deposits it. Mr.. P. as
the others, borrows three fourths Of o.

who puts it in the bank. Mr.. r
