How to Fold Your Money.

There is prevalent a superstition In regard
to the manner in which money should be
placed In the purse. Bills of any denomna-
ton must never be cramped any which way
into a pocket-book. but TO insure luck must
be carefully turned and folded toward ones
self, and then creased lengthwise. This ac-
complished, the superstition is that plenty
and prosperity will follow.

ORIGIN Of Two Tavern Terms,

Tho term "entire," so often seen over
inns and taverns (and not always under
stood by the passersby). is said to have
first been used about 1923. Prior to that
date the malt liquors in general use
were ale. beer and "twopenny. 1t was
usual for tavern customers to call for a
pint Or tankard Of half and half-that
is. half ale and half beer, half ale and
half twopenny. or half beer and half
twopenny. In course Of time it became
customary to call for tankard of
three threads, meaning third Of ale,
beer and twopenny. To save publicans
the trouble and waste Of turning three
taps for one pint Of liquor brewer
named HARDWOOD conceived the idea of
making beverage which should unite
the flavors Of all three drinks. He call.
ed his production "entire." or "entire
butt beer" As it was considered suit
able for porters and other working peo-
pie it is said to have obtained the fur

The woinsn Landlord.

Women make very good landlords,
but beware of the woman who owns ON.

Her accustomed eye knows every scratch

She regards her tenant as her natural

To 1Gahs . Coed cup Of rs.,

cup Of tea anyhow. This is qualifica-
tion that not many girls possess. Very
few know how to make q good cup Of

never touch metal Il should be kept in
paper. wood. glass or porcelain. To
mako it. put . small quantity in q
porcelain cup. fill the latter with boil
ing water, cover It with a porcelain
saucer and let it stand three minutes.
Then. il you desire to be an epicure.
drink only the upper layer Of the gold

they ought to know their own beverage.
Above all things, do not boil the tea.
