Don't be Superstlti0us.

When I was little girl my father WAS
once absent for some days on business.
One day during that time mirror fell,
its cord having worn out unnoticed, and
broke into dozen pieces. remember
it was an old fashioned looking glass
with brass frame, and a parting across
it above the centre.
A neighbor, who was in at the mo-
ment, exclaimed, in horror, "Oh Mrs
f., your husband will never come
back alive That is certain sign of
death p'
I shall never forget the lcok which
passed over mothers face; it was like
disdain, and she calmly replied, II do
not believe in signs" After the neigh
Dor had gone, mother had little talk
with me, telling me how foolish such
belief was; and in few days father
came back safe and we'll, % if nothing
had happened. The lesson was invalu-
able, and do not know that any one Of
the many so.called "signs" has weight
with me.
A friend was in my room recently, q
cultivated Christian woman, too. We
were putting on our wraps to 60 out to-
gether, and I was about to lay her sun
umbrella carelessly on the bed. She said,
"Don't dc that l have heard it is bad
sign" Then, as if half ashamed, she
added, II know it's foolish, but can't
help thinking of it."
Well, in day or two I was going out,
aud in the same way was about to ley
my umbrella on the bed, when the asso
citation of ideas brought my friends sign
to me. I said to myself, Il will not be
iu the power of such thing" and de-
liberately put the umbrella on the bed.
Now, girls, and boys, too, do not you
yield to superstitions. know persons
who can have but little peace in life be-
cause 80 many occurrences are bad
omens. Never mind if you do hear of
distinguished people, or good people,
who will not sit ut table of thirteen, or
who will not begin work on Friday. Be
sure their goodness and their greatness
do not lie in weakness of that sort. Be
sure that if any calamity follows "bad
sign," it has nothing whatever to do with
it, except as coincidence.
Is there not a lack of reverence, to say
the least, in supposing that cur Heavenly
Father makes His providence to hinge
upon any "sign ?"
Let us rather trust to His divine plan
of ordering our lives, and do our part
with courage not weakened by super
stitious fears.-Helen q. Hawley.

How to Cook q Ham.

Run knife or skcwer into the thick
est part of tho ham next to tho bone. If
the knife comes out clean the ham is
good, but if it smells rank and smears
the knife, the ham is not good. Select
your ham, then, according to this rule,
and lay it in cold water. Scrape and
wash it carefully and let it remain in the
water all night. In the morning, when
the water-enough to cover the ham-is
nearly boiling, lay the ham in and keep
the water in a simmer. When it has
boiled about an hour throw in two car
rots, four onions, two heads of celery, a
sprig of parsley, two or three blades Of
mace and four cloves. If the ham is
very salt, it is we'll to change the water
before putting in the seasoning. but if
you do, be sure and change to boiling
water. To obtain tenderness and mel
lowness the ham must not be allowed to
boil hard, only simmer. Too much heat
hardens all meat, especially salt meat.
When the ham is done, set it off in its
own water and let it cool in it. By.this
means it will retain its moisture. When
cool take it out, skin 1t, and dredge bread
crumbs and pepper over it and set In the
oven until it browns.

Tiny's Apology.

There is little girl on P. street, five
years old, who is very naughty once in q
while. The other day she got angry at
the cook and slapped her. Her mother
told her she must apologize, but she re-
fused point blank, says the Washington
Star.
"I won't do it," she declared, stamping
her foot.
"Very we'll. Tiny" replied mamma,
mildly, "but if you do not ] will not buy
for you the new doll you want" This
WAS too much for the child who mad set
her heart on the doll, SO she went down
stairs to the kitchen and said to the
cook:

Rosa, assuming an aggrieved expression.
The little girl looked at her moment
and then added:
"Do you think you will die?"
"1 don't know" replied B'osa.
"Well," said Tiny, "if you die, don't
tell God I did it,"

The Mannish Girl.

She begins innocently enough. She
has troop of brothers, perhaps, and is
drawn into their sports in spite of her
self. She catches their contempt of
girls; cuts off her hair like Maggie Tul-
liver; takes pleasure in riding habit
and it's odd accouterments. Horses aud
dogs are her favorite companions.
So she falls out of sympathy with her
sex. She loses its delicscy she is reck-
less of its conventions. That is always
the peril of the maunish girl. But the
fact that woman in body, she tries to
be man in mind, exposes her to the
administrations of the ribsld.
As she mipgles with the world, she
feels kind of vanity by being maunisb.
To talk slang, to smoke cigarettes, to
ride to hounds, commend her, in meas.
ure, to her male companions. They cul.
tivate her society. They take her yatch-
ing when thsy leave her companions at
home. They love 10 chat with her in
box at the horse show. They even pro.
pose surreptitius visit to the Arlon ball.
But they rarely marry her.
That is when the maidenly girl has her
full revenge. When it comes to taking a
wife-a wife who shall adorn his table ;
a wife who shall entertain his friends-a
man seldom thinks of the mannish girl.
He knows that the arts by which she at
tracted him will be just as attractive 10
Others. He knows that the lack of.refDe.
ment, which has kind of zeal in the
girl of twenty, will turn to hopeless vul-
garity in matron of forty.
Then what is the end of the mannish
girl? Eternal spinsterhood or the divorce
court. If no man will have her she gets
more acidulated month by month. Her
mind turns to bitterness. She has moth
ing but ill to say of her neighbors. She
purveys wretched gossip for the social
columns of the newspapers, and when q
woman does that she has set the tomb
stone on her career and on her reputa-
tion.-From Truth

existence the Bell patent, by the conVe-
nience it has afforded the public in the
transaction of business, has awarded the
public a rich return for the monopoly
granted. The convenience alone is in.
valuable, and the money return to busi-
ness men in the transaction of important
matters cannot be over estimated.
The completion of these great long
distance lines marks the beginning of an
epoch when telephony will acquire a new
Importance. Were the patent awarded a
further existence every year would wit
ness for it an increase in value. The re.
turns received for the patents hitherto
have been in great part based upon what
it did during it's struggling years of
business, and during period of great un.
certainty when it was quite problematical
what it's results were to be. Now that it
has obtained firm lease of life, now that
the telephone itself is in the full strength
of matured existence, the patent Iapses.
It is the old story the inventor obtains
the least reward for his exertions; the
true beneficiary is the public. Estimat-
ing the benefit which the public has re-
ceiyed from the invention, had the return
been one hundred fold to the owners of
invention, the reward even then for what
has altered the whole face of business
and commercial life would have been not
particle too much. The spirit of our
patent system is admirably illustrated IN
the whole matter. An Invention ID made !;
the Indictment for makirg the invention
is the award by governmen of short
monopoly conditional on its being patent

result, achieves it, and obtains what TO-
