Jubal's Call,

The daughter of DIR. Edward Hodges,
the organist, says that her father had a
delightful way of calling all the children
musically. One Sunday morning, when
he was playing in st. Johns chapel, New
York, ne said to her.
az am going to call Jubal. Watch him. !"
Jubal was sitting in his accustomed
place near the middle aisle. DIR. Hodges
voluntary began thoughtfully and smooth

phrase of two notes was twice repeated.
1t was distinct and yet so truly part OF
the improvisation that no stranger would
have noticed IL ut all.
The first time Jubal's attention was ar

up, but saw no sign. At the third call he
deliberately took up his hat, left the pew,
walked straight up to his father and said;

The errand was speedily executed, for the

Sleep.

The composure of mind which 1t is de-
sirable TO secure as harbinger of sleep is
promoted by allowing time, before retir
ing to rest. for the subsistence of all en-
forced mental activity There should be at
least an hours interval between work, no
matter what it may be, and sleep, for II
work he pushed up to the last moment,
sleep will be driven away or will be, in its
first and most precious stages, broken and
unrefreshing To turn resolutely from
work at fixed hour and plunge for lit
tie time into novel or a newspaper,
game or music, will often make all the
difference between a bad and a good
nights rest. Position when in bed is a
very important factor in the production OF
sleep Englishmen travelling on the CONT
nent are sometimes puzzled and distressed
BY insomnia. until they discover that their
bodies, propped by enormous. square pill
lows are at a much greater angle to the
plane of the bed than that in which they
are accustomed to repose at home
The substitution of small pillow for
the large one soon disposes of their wake
fulness And SO with children. The posi-
ton in which they are placed when put to
bed should he carefully attended to, as
nightly variations In this may at least
postpone the advent of sleep. which Is so
essential TO the welfare of the growing
brains Very little things serve sometimes
to induce sleep. Thus, the mere turning
of pillow and the application of its cold
surface TO the head and face will, on occa-
sion, prove the turning point in struggle

AMERICAS FAMOUS COOK.
ors. Rorer's Unconscious Preparation For
the Work In which She IL Supreme.

ers. Rorer's Unconscious Preparation For
the Work In which She IL Supreme.
Mrs. Talcott williams, writing of "The
Most Famous Cook In America" Mrs. s.
I. Rorer, In The Ladies' Home Journal,
Jays: Sarah Tyson Heston, the daughter
Of DIR. Charles Tyson Heston, was born in
Bucks county, Pa, In October, 1S49. When
she was about year old, her parents re-
moved to Buffalo, where her father be-
came successful manufacturing chemist
and where, as little girl, she developed a
child's aptitude and interest In her fathers
daily work. She grew up in his labora-
tory. gaining working knowledge Of
chemical methods Her father led the way
In many food experiments. After spend
ing several years at private school in
Buffalo Sarah Heston went, at the age Of
IL, to Aurora, n. Y, where she took q
five years scientific course devoting much
time to chemistry. Returning TO Buffalo,
she was graduated from a finishing school
after studying for three years. During all
this time she had shown much fondness
for and skill in cooking. When IL years
old, she took prize for loaf of bread
and loaf OF sponge cake at western
New York county fair.
"Dr. Heston responded to Lincoln &
first call for three months men and re-
manned I'm the service until the end of the
war, returning with shattered health. The
personal care for ten years of her invalid
father, who required the most delicate and
digestible food, was Mrs. Rorer's uncon
scious preparation for her life work. Cook
ing is often mere matter of recipes and
too seldom based on principles. 1t deals
with details and offers no explanation OF
causes, but the training Mrs. Rorer had
received from her father, a physician and
practical chemist, gave this important and
frequently omitted instruction. In 1865
the Heston family went to Philadelphia Il
i've and the following year Sarah Tysor
was married to Mr.. w. A. Rorer and ha'
since that time made Philadelphia hel
home. There her two sons were born. Tit
eldest one, W. A. Rorer, Jr., was sent II
| the University of Berlin to be fitted FOL
work as translator. The younger one
James b., is student at Harvard college

THE TOMATO IN ITALY.
II Is Popular with All Glasses In King
Humbert's Realm.

In every home and cottage In Italy the
preserving of tomatoes is carried on Ter
races balconies and even the Hat roofs of
the houses are half covered with plates
containing the deep red substance. After
gathering the tomatoes intended for pre-
serving are spread out for some hours in
the sun till the skin has somewhat shrunk.
They are then passed through sieve so
that they may be freed from both seeds and
skins AS they contain a large proportion
OF water the substance which has been
passed through the sieve must be hung in
bags, from which the water exudes, and
soon a pool of dirty looking water is form
ed beneath each bag. Strange 20 say, 1t is
in no way tnged with red
The mixture which remains in the bags
has the consistency of very thick paste.
1t is then sailed, the proportion being "a
little less than one ounce OF salt TO a pound
of preserve. The process now requires that
ID shall be spread on fiat plates, exposed TO
the sun and stirred from time TO time
with a wooden spoon, so that the upper
part may not form a crust, while under
meath IL remains soft. 1t is picturesque
sight when the women are to be seen fit
ting about on the roofs and terraces, at
tending to the deep red preserve their col
ored handkerchiefs flung on their heads to
screen them from the rays of the burning
sun when il is at its fiercest. In the even
ing the contents of the various plates are
taken in and stirred up together, for II
moistened by the night dew the whole
would be spoiled After being exposed to
the sun for seven or eight days, the same
| process being repeated each day, the pre-
serve is finished and placed in jars for win
| ter use.
Though 1t Is used by all classes of per
sons, it is more necessary TO the poor thar
| 10 the rich, for the latter can make use OF
| the fresh tomatoes preserved in tins To
| matoes may be timed whole, as we know
from those usually imported into England
from America. But in Italy the fruit i;
usually passed through a sieve, the pull
| being then placed in tins, which are i'm
mediately soldered down and then put ii
| boiling water for five minutes The cos
of a small tin is half franc, so 1t is, as {
rule, beyond the means of the poor. Cham

is "GENT" A WORD?
Clash of Opinion Between Professor and
"A Book Agent.

Professor John w. Cook, president of
the Illinois State Normal university, is IA
good hater," and, above all, he hates the
modern tendency to abbreviate every word
from which u syllable may be Topped of
handily
Particularly does he dislike the word
gent" which the title gents furnish
ing goods" has rendered so common.
"Gentl Gent! What is a gentS' once
exclaimed Professor Cook i'm the hearing of
a reporter, with plethora of sarcasm.
"Its an animal that comes as near to be-
ing gentleman as gent comes to being
a word The expression is disgustingly
vulgar In the olden times to have been
called gent would have been provoca-
ton for "A duel. hope it will never obtain
a permanent hold on our conversation.
'The practice of abbreviating words Is
a relic of barbarism. 1t Is a survival OF
the days of the hieroglyphic, when men re-
corded their thoughts ON stones and nee
essarily economical space and labor 1t Is
a practice entirely unworthy of these
times of steel pens, typewriters and pho
nographs. 1t is u practice as demoralizing
to the individual as 1t is to the literature
of the day, and should be decried by every
intelligent person. Cent?
And President Cook waved his hand
deprecatingly and in silence.
In this connection one is reminded OF
the breezy book agent who darted into a
down town office recently for the mani
fest purpose of enlightening his fellow men
by means of choice stock of the classics.
Seeing nobody but demure young
woman seated i'm front of typewriter, he
inquired in dulcet tones:

PAPA'S PAINTINGS.
They Were Displayed mt a Very Bad Time
and Place.

She was daintily dressed young mother
and Justly proud of the curly headed boy
i'm his natty sailor suit who sat by her side
i'm the street car. OF course he was not
like other boys, yet he was just enough
tainted with Juvenile humanity to keep
squirming like an eel in restricted quar-
tiers.
"Do keep quiet, Halle" she said in
gentle tones. Cant you look out the
window or play that you were going on
long journey with mammal"
But the infant had his own idea of
amusement. Taking his cap from his fair
hair. he swept the ribbons aside and placed
the silk lined headgcar on his knees Then
he put a chubby, dimpled hand into either
pocket, and they came out filled with red,
white and blue disks of composition such
as serves in some cases as substitute Tor
ivory. Those that didn't rattle to the floor
went into the cap which the little fellow
placed on the seat while he chased up those
that had escaped.
The mothers countenance became u
beautiful scarlet. Worldly men on the car
laughed and winked at one another. Good
old ladies smiled in sympathy where they
might have frowned had they known
more, for the disks were Enthusiastically
poker chips.
"Why, Halle, where in the world did
you get those things?" asked the pretty
matron. "Some naughty boy must have
given them to you"
"Noper' shouted the cherub. "Found
the pretty things in papa's verlise behind
the trunk Whole lot of beautiful picture
cards there too S'pect he was goin to give
'em to Halle mex Christmas. / don't
wanter lose none of 'em," as he dived be-
tween the legs of fat man who was APP

and signaled the conductor 1--WE get OIL

Some of the propositions advanced are
