"Get His Condolences"

yes" said one of the men sitting at
the little table at the club, "his son is
pretty bad. But then you know he
doesn't understand how to deal with the
boy"
He don't. You don't know the young
rascal! What would you do?"
I'D get his confidence"
Everybody laughed, says the Chicago
YES continued the first speaker. You
see he hasn't any idea how to raise boy.
Now the first thing to do is to get the
boys confidence. Suppose he wants to sit
up until s O'clock in the morning playing
poker He should allow him to do it. He
should perhaps play with him ana get MS
confidence.
And then suppose the boy wants to give
a. little dinner and have a lot of actresses
there. Let the youngster do it. The old
man should foot the bills and be glad to do
il. 1t will help him to get his confidence.
Then he should take him around and
take part in all his pleasures, giving him
whatever money ne needs without grumb-
ling This he should continue for a few
months until he had thoroughly won his
confidence. That's what l would do if l
had a son like his.
And then after 1 had gained his conf
dence TO a great extent l would take him

of great men, the factories and the work
shops where thousands of people are en-
ployed. ! would take him near the edge of
the roof and show him all these things.
would get his confidence.
And then l would persuade him to grad
ually draw nearer the edge, and when 1
had his confidence thoroughly L would
shove him over it. That would be my re-
ward for having gained his confidence"

erpool now has an abundance of water
for every legitimate purpose. and yet
Pumps only 2Tia gallons per capita each
twcnty-four hours. Nobody is restricted
in the use OF water for legitimate pur-
poses, and the streets are sprinkled the
same as before. A few thousands Of dol
lars spent in preventing waste has had
the result OF saving me city millions that
would otherwise have been spent in Sc
curing an increased water supply.
1t is possible that the greater part Of
that sieve" through which pours the
water from the Savannah water works is
in the mains. In that case, the putting in
of meters upon the premises Of consum-
ers would go only little way towards
detecting the waste. Col. Waring says
there are devices for locating and con-
trolling the leaks in the mains, which
have been found effective in Liverpool and
elsewhere. In the interest of economy,
they ought to be employed here. There
should, of course, be checks placed upon
any waste Of water by consumers. But it
is not fair to hold consumers responsible
for results that may be occasioned by de-
fects that may exist in the distributing
plant.

Home Adornment.

Touching the matter of pictures in
the country home, where the resourc-
es of the city print shop are not
readily available, and substitutes must
often be accepted in lieu of things
one would like to have, somebody has
very we'll said: Too many pictures
are often used in single room. Bet
ter one good picture, properly franz
ed, than three or four crowded to-
gether along a wall. I have counted
something like twenty pictures on
the walls of single room in a coun-
try house-and the room was not
very large either! In these days of
Photographic reproduction, copies of
the finest pictures in the world are
placed within the reach of almost
every home-even those where severe
economy must be practiced. Photo
graphs of the finest of ancient and
modern art can now be had from fiji
teen cents to one dollar each, accord
ing to the size, and if one has a little
ingenuity in the USE of TOOLS FRAME
for these can be made at home. On
the whole, no more satisfactory pic
lures can be obtained for a small
sum than these mounted photos Of
great paintings. Then, too, one can
often find in various first-ciass peri
odicals full-page reproductions of
some beautiful modern paintings.
These, surrounded by a home made
mating and homemade frame, will
be in good taste, will be decora tive,
and to the last degree inexpensive.
The choice of coiorcd pictures for
framing is a matter fraught with no
little risk, unless one is competent to
distinguish between. good and poor
work. The art papers send out
monthly some very attractive repro
auctions in color of modern paint
ings, and these are suita ble.-Ex.

Christmas Candy.

The fiat, round "patties,'' of which
the peppermint was the beginning,
but which now come in many colors
and flavors, can be made at home so
candy. 1t is necessary to invest in
few extracts and color pastes, but
these, when once obtained, will last
a lifetime. A good way to do is for
two to enter into partnership and
share both labor and expense. To
make ten varieties will be needed ten
pounds of granulated sugar, some
maple sugar or syrup, cupful of
grated chocolate, five cents worth
each of cream of tartar, oil of pepper
mint, oil of wintergreen and oil of
cloves, and lemon, orange, banana,
color pastes come in little jars at ten
cents each. They are put up by the
same firms that sell the extra cts and
are perfectly harmless. The colors
that are needed are yellow, manda-
rin-orange, carmine and violet.
First mix the colors, putting as
much paste as can be taken on a
toothpick, with teaspoonful of wa
ter, in an individual salt dish. Stir
until clear. Arrange these, each with
its corresponding flavor, in the order
in which they are to be used. The
wintergreen should be pink and the
cloves a paler shade of pink. These
are obtained from the carmine solu-
ton. The violet should be used SPAR
ingly or it will make too deep a
shade. The orange can be used free
ly, and the yellow should be quite
strong in the lemon candies, but only
tint in the banana. The pistachio
extract, which comes in vivid green,
is self-coloring, as are also the maple
and chocolate. The peppermints
should not be colored.
Boil one pound of sugar, one fourth
teaspoonful of cream of tartar and
teacupful of water for about ten
minutes. When a little of it, dropped
into bowl of cold water, can be roll
ed between the fingers into a soft ball
it is DONE Remove from the fire and
stir briskly, at the same time turning
in little of the color fluid and the
