Religion in tie Kitchen.

\ good deal is said nowadays about
religion in politics, in the workshop,
in the store: and son the road" 4" DR..
Talmage speaks out, in the Christian
Herald, concerning religion in the
kitchen:
"There is nothing but the old-fash
ioned religion that will take woman
through the trials Of home life. At
first they may be romance OF novel
ty that will do for substitute. The
marriage hour has just passed, and
the perplexities of the household are
more than atoncd for by the JOY Of be-
ing together: and by the fact that
when it is late they do not have to
discuss the question as to whether it
is time to go. The mishaps of the
household, instead of being matter
Of anxiety and apprehension, are d
matter of merriment-the loaf Of bread
turned into geological specimen, the
slushy custards, the jaundiscd or meas
ly biscuits. 1t is very bright sun
shine that falls on the cutlery and the
mantle ornaments Of new home.
But after awhile the romance is all
gone and then there is something to
be prepared for the table that the book
called Cookery Taught in Twelve
Lessons will not teach. The recipe
for making it is not handful Of this,
a cup of that, and a spoonful Of some
thing else. 1t is not something sweet
ened with ordinary condiments, or
favored with ordinary favors, or baked
in ordinary ovens. 1t is the loaf Of
domestic happiness, and all the ingre-
dients come down from heaven, and
the fruits are plucked from the tree Of
life, and it is sweetened with the new
wine of the kingdom, and it is baked
in the oven of home trial. Solomon
wrote out his own experience. He
had wretched home. \ man cannot
be happy with two wives, much less
600; and he says, writing out of his
own experiences: Better is dinner
Of herbs where love is than a stalled
OK and hatred Herewith. '-lNetuoe7isf

Why He was Happy.

The lest OF the passengers were
reading the morning news, but one
man gazed with unsccing eyes out OF
the window and whistled softly, the
tune being broken every now and
then by smile that crossed. his
bearded lips.
The young girl directly opposite
thought him handsome, and ascrlbed
his preoccupied air to romantic rea-
sons. And the older woman who sat
with her glanced sharply across from
time to time to see what the young
man meant by rudely whistling in a
public conveyance. But the looks of
youth and age were alike lost on him,
and after while he turned his face
toward the light and sang with such
hearty untunefulness that his spec
tacled neighbor felt bound to remon-
strate.
"Young man, she finally said,
''have you hired this car for your own
use ?"
He stared at her blankly for a min
ute, and then flushed to the roots Of
his hair.
"Was-was 1 singing" ?" he asked.
"You were making q horrible noise, .
she replied.
Then he laughed wholesome, hon
est gufaw, and leaned forward conf
dentially.
"Thc jokes on me, he said. "To
tell the truth, my baby has just cut a
tooth, and-and was thinking how
cunning the little chap looked vixen
he grinned.
The war light faded in the woman S
eyes and smile touched the corners
of her mouth as she beamed on the
young father and said with deep in
terest:
"Upper or undcr?''

Another curious phenomenon OF
Cuban animal life is the procession OF
land crabs across the island. They
travel from north to south every spring
when the rains commence, and arc as
regular an institution as the wet
weather itself. Shell fish are abun-
dant, but they are of inferior quality.
The climate is too warm for them, and
oysters there at all times are as unsat-
isfactory as ours in the months when
no magic Il appears. The rivers and
bays and inlets, however, are we'll
stocked with palatablc fish. The
iguana, cayman and crocodile are
common. A hugh variety of crocodile
called cayman has a colony Of its own
on the Isle of Pines. Turtles are
found in large numbers in shadows
and reefs and on sandy beaches, and
they are put to all sorts Of uses, from
soup to walking sticks. For canes the
shell of the carcly variety Of turtle is
used. First strong stick is cut OF
the length desired. Then the turtle
shell is boiled until it becomes thin
liquid, and into this the stick is dip
ped and allowed to cool. The process
is repeated several times till the beau
tiful tortoise shell covering is OF prop
er thickness. Aftcrward the cane is
polished, headed, fitted with fcrrule,
and sold for 81 or So.
Another curiosity is cane made
from the dried skin Of the manatee, or
sea COW. The skin is perfectly trans
parent, and when rightly prepared is
flexible, but strong enough to be used
as rapier for defense. Mounted in
gold and silver, these canes are very
expensive. They are rarely seen IN
Havana, and one tourist, who wished
to carry away cane as Il souvenir,
paid $50 for the privilege.

A Conspiracy.

4 young man of some prominence
in financial circles in western city
made trip to Europe a few years ago.
1t was his first journey abroad, and
the preparations for it naturally alb
sorbed his time and filled his thoughts
for several weeks beforehand. So pre-
occupied was he that he started east
ward with nothing to wear on his head
but travelling cap, leaving his best
hat hanging on hook in his Office.
He was gone three months. After
returning home and resting a day or
two he came down to the Office to re-
sumo his daily toll. The first thing
that ssruck his eye was his hat hang
ing where he had left it.
That stroke Of luck he said
Il was afraid | had lost it. | see it
hasn't been disturbed in all these
months. | shall just wear That hat
again.
He took it down from the hook.
busted it. aud put it on his head.
That is, he tried to put it on 1t was
about two sizes too small.
His Office associates crowded around
him.
That's the usual effect . they said.
a mans first trip to Europe always
swells his head. Another one will re-
duce it to it's normal size. Better
hang the hat back on the hook. You II
have no use for it this year, anyhow.
We had hoped differcntlyin your case,
but you seem to be an ordinary Amer
ican traveler-nothing more and moth
ing less It's pity. but there is no
help for it.
AS the easiest way out Of the affair
the young iinaucicr hung the hat on
the hook again, and sent out for box
Of cigars.
y week or two later, however, some
one in the Office casually took the hat
down, TUNED back the sweatband, an(
disclosed piece Of lamp-wick about
eight inches long. 1t had been pu'
there on the day the owner of the ha
started for Europe and the discovery
of it cost him another box Of cigars.

WHAT A WOMAN DOES NOT DO.
Another Big Bunch of Old Traditlons j
Must Go.

concile the two you must certainly
admit that you find them existing
often in the same mind.
Woman rejects the follics that are
ascribed to her-wio can blame her?
but she seldom, if ever, objects to the
angel part of it. In fact, she has
hugged all the beautiful things said
about her angelic attributes to her
heart-such as guardian angel 0 cr
his life presiding, doubling his pleas
ures and his cares dividing, until she
is inclined to overestimate her ability
to remodel almost any man she comes
in contact with. While truly influ-
ence can, and often does, work won
ders. still it has it's limitations. The
world has sighed many. many times
over the pitiful failure of the good
and devoted woman who, having given
up all, merries man ito reform him,
onlv to flu. ..hat her tenderness and
gentleness and piety counted for SO
very, very little after all.
I am afraid I am helping to reveal
some long-hidden clay feet, but if [
am. am not sorry. I do not like the
old habit of calling women angels any
better than like hearing man say
that is s'just like woman when a
woman firts, breaks heart and
throws it aside like child does a
shattered toy.
1t is the commonplace woman, the
one who admits that, like all humani-
ty-and humanity includes men as
we'll as women-she has enough
faults to make her that most admira-
Bile of ali women, mot too bright nor
good for human natures daily food, >
and yet possessing few aims and
ideals of perfection that she will never
let 60 of through whatever ups and
downs Of life may come to her.
The woman who stands out with the
belief that she is naturally the angel
that some very good poets and others
have called her, will not make the
best Of life for herself or others. She
will often be sadly disappointed that
her angelic intentions are without
weight. She will learn in time that
when one is among mortals that one
must DO as mortals do. | do not mean
by this shat [ believe woman should
ever step down from the high place
Of womanliness that is her birthright.
only mean that when she is gentle of
speech, -dignifed Of bearing, courteous
and unsel6sh and with reverence for
things pure and good, that she has
reached perfection of character that
is bound to influence others only for
good, but too much faith in her nat
ural goodness will spoil it all.
There may be an occasional angel
among women. and there is also an oc-
casional angel among men, but mortal
angels are not frequent and not apt to
be successes. The most delightful of
men and women are those with a few
faults and many virtues.-Margaret
Hannfs, IN st. Louis Republic.

bright woman, and she said it emphat-
ically, shat I am tempted sometimes
to devote the balance Of my life to
contradicting. think it would take
lifetime-the belief in them is so
deep rooted .
A questioning glance from a pair of
gray eyes encouraged the bright wo-
man to continue:
II know. my dear, you are wonder
ing what at last has made me come to
believe that there is in life for me a
possible mission. Well, it is just
this: Have you ever taken note of
the exasperatingly foolish things that
man believes woman does that she
never does do? Now, it is Just these
wrong impressions that | want to co..
rect.
The owner of the gray eyes, who
was also woman, smiled. Her sh lie
said that she had noted from time to
time Shat mans ignorance Of woman
was something extraordinary.
''Think of it, said the bright wo-
man, "just think of 1.-THE foolish
things that are set down to being just
like woman IF woman does
something particularly clever and
praiseworthy she is called unusual,
but if she is guilty of piece of fool
ishness, Immediately a thousand mas
culine voices are raised to say, just
like woman
In the first place, there is hardly
a man in the land but thinks that
when he has been as often as four
times to call on girl that girl is quite
certain he is in love with her. As a
matter of fact, 1t takes considerable
devotion on the part Of the modern
man to make the modern maid think
he adores her. She has learned to
know that large number Of young
men consider dancing attendance upon
an attractive young woman merely a
pleasurable pastime. If you want to
help me with my mission work, my
dear, you may start out by assuring
all your masculine acquaintances that
they are inclined to fatter themselves
too highly.
"And then there is the idea that a
woman peeps into every mirror and
shop window that will reflect her
image, and that she ties her car fare
up in the corner Of her handkerchief,
and spends unlimited amounts Of
money on ice cream soda, never is on
time to keep an appointment, tells
small fbs, delights to have lot OF
proposals just for the fun Of refusing,
and so on. And it, went on the
bright woman, such things do chance
to happen, how much better we d feel,
and so much more individual, if we
we're only allowed chance for argu-
ment instead Of having the whole
thing finally settled with, 'Oh, that S
just like awoman.
AND when / left them, the bright
woman-who is herself young and
pretty-and the woman with the gray
eyes, they were talking earnestly over
what the bright woman had first be-
gun laughingly to discuss.

it is to live above the pretty vanities,
