WHAT WILL YOU PREPARE FOR
SCHOOL cHlLpREN'S LUNCHEoNSl

A Girl who Takes Exercise--MarveIous

ons-Wbat Our Women Are Doing In
Publsc AffaIrs-Home and Mother.
The reassembling Of schools through.
out the country brings up anew the per-
picking question of the children's lunch.
con. The writer once read n treatise ON
the "child's lunch basket" with recipes
for preparing food for it. The food was
most elaborate confections, which would
take time, strength and money TO evolve
quite beyond the average house mother,
and the article was laid down with q
sigh that its promising title offered so
little practical help. Lunch baskets are
not so common these days as they used
TO be, and it is the luncheon served at
home which now creates the dilemma.
AS a rule children reach the house
after the mornings session at school in
a state of starvation; anything that is
ready is greedily eaten. 1t should be
therefore an easy matter to serve whole
some food, since the sauce Of a good
appetite is so sure to be present, al
though small daughter of eight did
say the other day, II wish wholesome
things were as good as good things" 1t
is the care given TO many simple dishes
which makes them good as well as
wholesome. Boiled rice for example is
either very good and much liked by
children, or it is an UNBEATABLE, sticky,
favorless mass that nobody welcomes.
A teacupful of rice, carefully looked
over and put on in cold water and al
lowed TO boil until every kernel is sep
arate, but tender, is an excellent lunch
con dish for children, served hot with
consomme. Salt the rice as the water
comes to the boil.
The consomme is easily prepared with
beef extract and hot water and adds a
reliable flavor. What is left of the rice
can be put away while warm in small
cups and served the next day on a small
platter with stewed prunes poured
around the little pyramids, or a tea
spoonful of jam on each one and eaten
with rich milk. Tomato toast, which is
tomatoes stewed down and poured over
small squares Of toast, is liked by most
children. Spaghetti or macaroni boiled
twenty minutes in sailed water and
eaten with gravy, some warmed over
clear soup or the beef extract again is
another dish that never goes begging

A Clever Boston Woman.

The, governor has appointed Miss
Katharine Z. Conway, Of the Boston
Pilot, TO the prison commission, 10 sue
coed Miss Emma +. Cary, who resigns
on account Of i'll health. Miss Conway
is somewhat over thirty years old, and
began in newspaper work when she was
fifteen. In 1883 the late John Boyle
O'Reilly engaged her services on The
Pilot, and he always valued them high
~, on one occasion ayerring that she
had "the heart Of n woman and the
brain Of a man." As a matter of fact
we should say Miss Conway's brains are
as womauly as her heart; they are Ger
tainly very good brains in the lines in
which she has heretofore employed
them-in editorial writing and verses.
She Is a great fayorite with her fellow
workers, both men and women. What

the prison commission we do not know,

ence among the criminal classes, but in
capacity she should be well fitted

A CITY CHARTER AGAIN.

Politicians generally want a new city
charter. one we apprehend which will give
them more offices. more money and more
freedom of action. The public, however.
have different notions. They want char
ter which viii furnish less officials; one
which will distribute less money for the
bloodsuekers, and one which will restrict
the acts of officials to the closest details pos
sible. A contemporary says; The move
ment to secure a new charter should be
pushed vigorously" This is what the per-
sons who run the political machine want
The men who are moving for new charter,
so far as we can discern, are the very last
who should be entrusted with such duty.

to undertake the job, should be thoroughly
considered, and old hacks should not be

FACTS ABOUT DIVISION.
Rules That VIII BE of Use to Those w
Do Much Figuring.

Rules That VIII BE of Use to Those Who
Do Much Figuring.
A friend of the Post Dispatch writes as
follows: One who does great deal of fig
uring often feels the need OF some system
attic method Of arriving at conclusion with
out spending so much time. Here are a
simple rules that win be of aid in division.
A number is divsible by when the sum
of the figures in it is diviSible by 8; thus
1871 is divisible by 8, from the fact that the
sum Of the figures in the number Il plus l
plus 3 plus u, which is 6. is diylsble by 8.
Four will divide number only when the
number formed by the last two figures in
the number is Invisible by 4; thus will d.
vide 924 owing TO the fact that will divide
"a, the number formed by the last two
figures.
Five will divide a number when it ends
in 8 orc
Six will divide an even number if it is
divisible by 8.
There is no short way of ascertaining
whether will divide number exactly or
not.
Two rules must be followed for as d.
visor. Ii will divide a number when the
number formed by the last two figures is
divisibe by ana these two figures are pre-
ceded by an even number. For instance,
take the number 624; will divide "a and
"a is preceded by the even number g. Eight
Will also divide a number when the num-
Der formed by the last two figures is divis-
ible by and not by eight and these two
figures are preceded by an odd number;
thus in the IL the number 72S will divide
%, while Will not and Is is preceded by
the odd number Z,
Ten of course will exactly divide number
only when it ends with cipher.
There is no rule for IL, excepting that we
can tell that IL will divide number when
there is an even number OF figures IN 1t ana
they are all alike thus, II or 2222, etc, or III
there is an even number Of figures, ana the
first and second are alike and the third ana
fourth are alike etc. thus 1122 or 339,922.
OF course any one would see TINS at q
glance, so there is no need to use this as
rule
Twelve will divide a number if it is
divisible by both and 4.
There is no short way Of determining
whether I3 is an exact dlvlsor or not
II is an exact diviSor OF an even number
II will also divide it,
II a number ends in 8 or and is dlvisible
by 3. 10 Will also divide it.
There is no short way OF ascertaining
directly whether Is will exactly divide
number or not the best way being TO divide
the number by / il possible ana then by
again, il tossible.
With II it is the same as with Z. IL and
10; there is no short way Of ascertaining.
Eighteen viii divide an even number IL
will. With number tile same rule applies
as with number 3; l. e.. 9 will divide num-
Der If the sum Of the figures In 1t Is diysable
by O. thus 1924 is divisable by 9. from the
fact that the sum of the figures IN 1t q plus
l plus plus plus plus y. which is Is. is
diYiSable by 9.
