A PECULIAR triangular war has
just terminated in Milwaukee. A
railroad company dismissed some of
it's employees because they entered sa-
looms while on duty The employees
complained to the brewing COM
panies. The latter companies served
notice upo the railway that unless
the discharged men were reinstated
in their positions they would transfer
their freight business, which amounts
to several hundred thousand dollars
a year. to rival line. The men
were reinstated without comment
despite the fact that they had been
photographed by detectives while in
the act of drinking.

The free-frOm- care and ease taking
old bachelor, who in his momentary
lapse of wisdom contemplates matri-
| molY should at the same time re-
| fleet on the remote but contingent
possibility Of his having to sometime
sleep with a baby should he marry
Years Of experience of this martyr
dom make me feel it to be my duty
to set forth the misery arising from
contingency of this kind.
The baby, if he happens to be a
lusty little fellow of eight or ten
months, will decline to stay covered.
His infantile needs will begin to man
ifest themselves at about | o'clock in
the morning, at which witching hour
you will go laundering around in the
dark for drink of water. He will
howl steadily and cheerfully from 2
two o'clock, and will kick you furl-
ously between the shoulder blades
with every howl. 1t will not be Of
any use for you to pat him tenderly
and COO out There, there" He is
there, and knows it, and intends that
you shall know it.
1t is of no use to say coaxingly,
"What does Papa's baby want?"
Papa's baby doesn't want anything
but to howl, and he is gratifying that
amiable desire to the utmost. 1t is
of no use to add 10 your list of enor-
mites by strong language. And if
your wife has been calmly passive
through it all, she will develop an
amazing degree of spirit if you dare
to lay the weight of your finger in
anger on that poor, dear little, in
nOcent sweetness"
He will sQuirm all night as though

sooner asleep than one Of his moist

nose or in your mouth, and, later on,
he will sit astride your neck, and
grow green and purple with rage
when gently made to sit elsewhere.
But when the registering little chan
finally Struggles up to you, and goel
to sleep with one Of his velvety cheeks
close to your own, and one OF his
warm, soft arms around your neck,
you find your heart growing very soft
and tender toward him, and you

a host, or lay down your life for love

Men on the wharf were looking
through their long glasses at the yes

Jessie Roberts," they said.
A little boy, who had been looking
too, started on run up the wharf.
He never stopped running till be
broke. breathless, into little house,
low and weather beaten, and banked
with ea-weed, under the brow of the
hill. ''MOther! Mother" he cried:
'she's coming. the Jessie's most in. -
The young woman, making bread,
threw faded shawl over her head
and shoulders She wiped her hands
on her apron, and started with the
boy.
A little crowd was already on the
wharf-folk drawn together by the
common bond OF daily bread, won
from the deep waters, and the dearer
ties of husbands, lovers, brothers, and
fathers on board. Two of the owners
were there. They saw their vessel
back from the crafty sea and the
stealthy fog. All her white sails were
spread and drawing. The sun of the
clear winter morning shone on her
clean decks. Ice in the rigging
cleaned like diamonds. She was
deep in the water, an earnest of hun

The vessel fast grew bigger; and,
while those on the wharf watched,
she came about Then the light left
every face. No one said a word-no
one made cry or groan The men
pressed nearer the edge of the wharf.
and the women, white-faced and
shuddering, shrank back and drew
together. Every eye was fixed on the
vessels main mast, where the stars
and stripes flew at half-mast. The

In our age of kissing without leay

IN our age of kissing without leave
is an assault. The courts have fined
several male kissers. Prof LON
broso of Italy, states, after laborious
research. that the kiss was maternal
and that lovers kisses are quite mod
ern. Several thousand years ago ia
cob saw Rachel approaching, and in
Genesis we read: ''And Jacob kissed
Rachel, and lifted up his voice and
wept" Now we read also that Leah
was tender-eyed but Rachel was beau
tiful," and the latter fact made the
kiss so good that he agreed to wait
seven years for Rachel as wife. Prof.
Lombros0 should read his Bible.

IN PLACE OF PIES.
''arious Less IndigestibIe Desserts Are

Here Suggested.
Pies, as we'll testified by all adj
mirers of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who
used to eat them for breakfast, are
not without their place in the pantry.
But not all the world is gifted with
Ralph Waldo Emerson's digestion, to
say nothing of his genius. For the
benefit of the members Of their house
hold, mothers should strive 10 ellml-
nate pastry as far as possible from
the daily dessert, and to substitute
other sweets. Here are few easily
prepared desserts.
Orange Salad-Peel and slice some
not very ripe oranges, dredge with
sugar and soak for an hour in liquor,
brandy or liquor syrup.
Strawberry Sponge-RemOve the
center from a round sponge cake,
leaving only the bottom and the sides.
Place in dish. Spread the inside
with strawberry Jam. Just before
serving heat jar Of whole preserved
strawberries in syrup for few min
utes add dash of sherry, and pour
into the sponge cake case.
A glass dish may be lined with
slices of cake, filed with heated pre-
serves, and covered with whipped
cream.
Fig Pudding-Mix together half a
pound of good figs, half pound each
of stale bread crumbs, sugar, and
chopped suet, and half cup of flour.
Beat separately the yolKs and whites
Of four eggs and mix with the dry
mixture, adding the whites last Tie
in a pudding bag, boil four hours. and
serve with liquid sauce.
Apple Compote-Peel and core
some good, round apples, throwing
into cold water favored with lemon
juice as they are peeled. In the same
water let them simmer until tender
enough to give" if pressed with the
finger. Lift them carefully to the
dish from which they are to be served.
Add to the water in which they have
been cooked, and which should be al

little lemon juice. Boil up once and

THERE is virtuous fear which is
the effect of faith; and there is a
vicious fear which is the product of
doubt. The former leads to hope, as
relying on God, in whom we believe;
the latter inclines to despair, as not
relying on God, in whom we do not
believe Persons of the one cnarac-
ter fear to lose God; persons or the
other character fear to find Him.

of taste for more than a year. Ac-
cording TO this man. who is a chemist,
it is useless to paint or render air
tight the outside Of the shell while
air remains within the egg. Each
egg contains within its she'll a little
air chamber, containing sufficient air
TO decompoSe the albumen even with
out the aid Of any which might filter
through the pores OF the she'll. This
is the reason that all attempts at
present known have been failures
This chemist drives out this air by
in Getting into the egg solution OF
salt and water. When the air is ex.
hausted the tiny opening IS hermeti-
cally sealed with drop Of sealing
wax. Then the egg will keen its
fresh taste any length OF time. II

image of his Maker, and endowed with
wonderful faculties. Here, dispirited
and enervated by the torrid heat, while
nature with open hand is offering to him
all the luxuries which his uneducated
desires may suggest. A little farther
north, the highest type of civilization,
busted and busying, toi1ing and spin
ming, and engaged i'll every occupation
for which cultivated taste can create a de-
1r1and; and, far to the north, in the home
of the Aurora, dwarfed in mind and body
by the frigid cline of his Borean home,
exerting the only energy of his soul in
the pursuit of food and raiment of the
coarsest nature.
The things suggested above, are only a
few of the things which one, who has fin
ished the study of geography, should see
in glance at any continent. He should
see the advantages that every country
presents as the home of man, and he
should see that mountain slopes are the
features of the earth from which spring
the life of everything that is conducive to
mans habitation, and the history of our
race. Fellow teachers, some of you will
doubtless be 10th to adopt these views,
and think them ideals that are unattain-
able. Let us hear from some of you in
this column next week
