Woman's Selnshness.

Are women more selfish and less consid-
crate than men? They are often accused
of the most deliberate cruelty, especially
toward each other. Perhaps the truth is
that woman's selflshness is more notice
able than a mans. She does not do a
selfish act with that matter of fact air
which man always wears on such occa-
sions-perhaps because her conscience is
more tender and the proddings of her
guardian angel more sharp. Whatever the
cause, she has the reputation Of being able
to do malicious things and selfish things
with GOODNESS of manner that takes away
the Observers breath. But outside society
novels and the comic weeklies she doesn't
manifest selflshness nor cruelty without
FORGETTING the respect and good opinion of
right thinking people. She can't elbow
past people either in society or in market
without corresponding loss of good opin-
ion. A lady of civilization learns to over
come-or at least conceal-the lingering
instincts Of savagery that we all have to a
greater or less degree. Womankind.

TWO GREAT FOOT BALL GAMES.

New York, Nov. 23.-On Manhattan
field Saturday the great foot ball game
between Princeton and Yale took place
before $4,000 people, thousands of them
being ladies, in spite of a drizzling
rain. For the first time since 1898, and
for the fourth time since 1888. repre-
sentative team of the Tigers defeated
the sons of Eli. The score was "a to
and when it has been added that Yale's
six points were scored on a fluke the
story has been told, for never from
the beginning of the game till it's end
were the men from New Haven able
to cope with their sturdy antagonists.
The Yale eleven was clearly out
played on every point of foot ball;
they did not kick as we'll. rush as
well, nor run as well as the Tigers,
and in their defensive play weakness
was their principal feature.
Philadelphia, Nov. 23.-The game of
foot ball here Saturday between Penn
sylvania and Harvard was won by the
former by a score of to 6. 1t was
one of the grandest foot ball battles
ever witnessed in this country, and
though the Harvard team was beaten
it left the field covered with
glory-and mud. In short Harvard
went down with colors flying and died

sylvania all the greater. Every player
in the latter team was a star and the

A Piece of Toast.

A piece of toast seems commonplace
hhing enough but every housekeeper knows
is is difficult thing enough to procure
from the average priestess of the kitchen.
Nor is it too commonplace to have found a
place in literature. Over "a quarter of a
century ago the London Spectator immor-
salized toast as follows: "True toast, it
said, lis classical-severe Toast, we need
not say, should be thin, crisp, waterlike
ms well as embrowned, fresh and hot.
Thick toast, with solid fieshy bread be-
tween the embrowned surfaces, is a gross
and plebeian solecism, for the true inten-
tion Of toast, its meaning or raison d 'etre
Is to extinguish the foody, solid taste
which belongs to bread and 70 supply in
its place crisp, light, fragrant, evanescent,
spirituallzed chips of fare, the mere scent
and sound of which suggest the crisp,
pleasant, light chat of easy morning or
evening conversation. "

please. Then from the center cut piece
as large as saucer, and set u two inch

the chiffon tie butterfly bows of pale yell

same color. Gather up the neck and tic

University Extension.

Professor Moulton, who gives the
course in Owosso this winter stands al
the head OF the list of Extension lectur,
ers. Those of our people who heard his
discourse on the Literary study of the
Bible, delivered in the Congregational
church last spring well know some of his
power to instruct and please.
The tickets for the course of six lee,
lures have been placed at the very low
price of $1.00 each ticket admitting two
members of the family. The very low
price is made in the hope of interesting
larger number of people than have at
tended before.
1t will undoubtedly be the finest course
ever delivered in the city. The Flint
Journal says of Mr.. Moulton:
"The progress of University Extension
in Philadelphia during its two years
there has been remarkable. The man
ayers of the movement were as wise as tc
study the movement in England, and to
get from that country Prof. Richard G

Furniture Polish.

A recipe for very superior furniture
polish given by dealer in musical instru
ments to a housewife, as the cause for the
shining surfaces of the pianos in his rooms,
consists of four tablespoonfuls of sweet oil,
four tablespoonfuls of turpentine, a tea
spoonful of lemon juice and ten drops OF
household ammonia. This polish must be
thoroughly shaken before using and ap.
piled with an old flannel or silk cloth.
Rub briskly and thoroughly, which is al
least a third of the merit of all polishes.
Use q second cloth to rub the mixture into
the grain of the wood and third for the
final polish.

Rocking.

Rocking, in common with other monot.
onous movements, such as patting and the
movement of walking, seems to cause sleep
by the same process as hypnotism. The
sleep induced by a lullaby, the sound OF
running water, and even the monotonous
tones of q preacher, is also probably often
hypnotic in character Only certain SO
called neurotics are subject to hypnotic
influence, but the majority of young chill
dren may be included in this class. There
are some children who are not soothed to
sleep by rocking. New York Tribune.
