to which meat hooks are attached. Put
the barrel in as cool place as can be
found and hang from the meat hook the
meat to be preserved. Throw a piece OF
netting over the barrel to keep insects out.
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere in
side the barrel dry, and thus preserve the
meat. The charcoal should be changed as
often as once II month, and it can be used
for lighting fires or for broiling meat, as
the use to which it has been put does nui
hurt it in the least. il the charcoal is hard
to procure, put the old in the stove and

to be rcdhot, open the doors and windows,
take off the lids of the stove and let it cool
off. When it is cold, you can use it again.

Women as Readers.

In answer to the question Does the
new woman read different class of books
from her predecessor" thoughtful libra
rians tell us that she does, No one is to
understand from this that every woman
who goes into library eschews the TO
mantle and new, but the surprising fact is
that so many really seek for the deepest
works on political subjects, Librarians
and their assistants were at first amused
when asked by a tiny blond with big
sleeves for IA book upon some weighty sub
ject and wnkcd at each other while they
busted off the book.
But after one two or three years passed
and the demand remained they ceased to
wink at the fad, and the books on soci-
ology and political science were moved
from the top galley of the mems side"
down to the low shelves of the "women's J"
All governmental questions are eagerly
sought for by women, and anything that
relates to the tariff is especially popular
with them. To the keeper of books the
American woman, by her reading, is de
veloping maryelously in a political way
Such knowledge will make them powers
behind the throne, even if it has no effect
in helping them to obtain suffrage.

my dear one may not be the lovclicst
woman in the world, but she certainly has
The most beautiful arms" So wrote the
present German emperor to his mother
when he was in the first bliss OF counting
his "bricr rose" as he called Augusta
Victoria Of ~lCswick Ilolstein, whom he
aftcrward made his wife. The kaiser was
only 20 years of age when he wooed and
won his wife, with scant regard for the
wishes of his grandfather.
She Is a woman, according to Mr.. Ar
thur Warren, the author of the sketch in
the Woman at Home, from whom these
quotations are made, who entirely fulllls
the kascr's ideal of what IA woman should
be- William IL has no patience with the
new woman or any of the emancipated Of
her sex. He has declared more than onco
that he prefers wife who can make jam
to one who can discuss a constitution. The
empress fills that bill exactly. She can
make jam and cares nothing whatever
about political constitutions.
Another saying of the emperor's is that
he could wish nothing better for the wei
fare of his nation than that the girls of
Germany should follow the example of the
empress and devote their lives, as she
does, to the cultivation of the three KS
kirchc, Kinder and Kuche.

Disturbed the Thanksgiving Service

Among the papers Of the late ex-State
Senator Guy G. Stoddard of the town
Of Ledyard was found few days ago
an old newspaper clipping containing a
quaint account of an old colonial
Thanksgiving service and dinner. 1t
was written in the year TIA by the
Rev. Lawrence Conant Of the old South
parish, in Danvers, Mass, and runs
thus:
eye governor was in ye house and
her majesty's commissioners Of ye GUS
toms, and they sat together in high
seat of ye pulpit stairs Ye governor
appears very devout and attentive, al
though he favors Episcopacy and toler-
ates We Quakers and Baptists.
"He was dressed in a black velvet
coat bordered with gold lace, and buff
breeches, with gold buckles at ye knees
and white silk stockings.
"There was a disturbance in ye gal
leries, where it was filled with divers
negroes, mulattoes and Indians, and a
negro called Pomp Shorter, belonging
to Mr. Gardner, was called forth and
put III We broad isle, where he was re-
proved with great carefulness and So
lemnity
"He was then put in ye deacous' seat
between two deacons in view of ye

ordered by Mr. Prescott TO take him

Few women, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch know bow to lace corset so as to
obtain perfect figure. The idea of a cor
set is support and not harness. A big
corset that squcezes in and congresses the
flesh gives a false impression of the French
ideal. A characteristic of the true French
figure is its soft, graceful lines The waist
is as tightly. laced as possible, but there is
little corset below and less above the waist
line, and so the beautiful lines of the fe
male form aye given freedom.
