JOHN A. JOHNSON OF Madison has a
very interesting letter in late issue Of
the State Journal in which he expresses
approval OF an alliance between the
United States Germany and Great Brit
air. He characterizes these three as the
three enlightened. interviewing coun-
tries Of the world and their union would
prove a moral force. He sees danger in
the aggression of Russia unless restrain
ed by these three great powers. 1t is a
very interesting argument.

THERE is something approaching vul-
garity in the rush to make contributions
for the benefit Of individuals. The pur-
chase of home for Dewey was in ques-
tionable taste. Recognition of distin-
guished service through the medium Of
money has the favor of tipping. a Gus
tom which has grown to the dimensions
of a nuisance The rush to raise fund
for Mrs. Lawton seems too much like
coinining sympathy into dollars as an
advertisement of generosity. The sub
scription list is altogether 10 obtrusiye.

EFFECT OF WATER ON VEGE-
TABLES.

There is considerable difference in
the effect of hard and soft water on
different vegetables. The addition of
salt ~hardens water, and a small
amount of soda softens it. The sup
ply of water for cooking purposes is
usually hard, and in cooking beans,
peas and other leguminous vegetables
do not boil tender in bard water. A
little soda of an amount about the
size of a pea to quart of water
should be added, and when the vege-
tables are tender they should be sailed
enough to make them palatable. Most
root etables-onions, beets and
others-boil tastless in soft water, and
salt must be added at the beginning
of the cooking. In extracting the
juices of meat for soup use soft, cold
water. When boiling beef, where it
is desirable to retain the juices of the
meat, use boiling sailed water.

A copy of a curious newspaper has
been found in the French national
archives. It is dated January 4, 1903,
and is called L'Athenee des Danes.
The articles are evidently written by
women, and the object of the paper
seems to have been an attempt to
place women on an equal footing with
men The feminine pioneers of
1903 were evidently nearly a hundred
years ahead of their times. La Fronde,
printed and published by women, is
now in it's third year and appears to
be successful, while only one copy of
L'Athenee des Danes is to be found.

In explaining the objects of ventila-

of nerve tissue. Women as they grow
older are apt to live much indoors. I
believe the fat, fabby, paunchy wo-
man, whether purple or pale, with
feeble, irritable heart and 'Einade-
quate" kidneys, is usually the
victim of rebreathed air. A CLOSE
room will infallibly give me an alb

FORGlVNESS.

How few of us forgive a real
or fancied wrong! Many never
profess to. They claim to be as
stoical as an Indian and as unre-
lenting as an evil spirit. But the
most Of us, we who claim to have
within our veins a fair amount of
the milk of human kindness, lay
claims to charity and flatter our
selves that we forgive and con-
done according to the scriptural
injunction. But, in truth, few
ever really forgive, One who is
really offended or insulted often
appears to cherish the memory
of the offense more than he would
a favor shown him. This shows
the perversness of human nature.
How easy it is to forget kind
ness or a favor extended. We
accept favors as a matter of
course and smile and scrape,
and forget them. But woe to
the man who offends us, no mat
ter how unthoughtedly! The
Old Man within us rises up and
will not be quoted or consoled.
We claim to forget, yet we never
do, and always seek an cpportu-
nifty to "get even" Some men
lose more time paying off grud-
ges than in paying off their debts,
The man who sits around and
nurses a grievance and avows
his intention of paying somebody
back, is spending his time in a
bad cause. Forget your grudges
and go to work like a man,
Have you no aim in life but tc
sulk in your tent or lie in ambush
like a whipped Indian awaiting
an opportunity for revenge? You
will sleep better at night and en-
joy your meals better if you vii
remember the admonition which
you have heard, or possibly read
"To err is human, to forgive di.

PULL DOWN THE BLINDS.

Houston county, Georgia, is re-
ponsible for a list of dark trans
actions, related by a local CORE
spondent in this wise:
Judgment was obtained in the
justice court here a few weeks
ago against a party who had pur-
chased some window blinds. The
execution was placed in the
hands of a one-armed constable,
who drove out to the defendants
home, was met at the door by a
blind girl, who directed him to
the lot where her father was. He
has only one eye and when asked
to point out the property he de-
sired levied on directed him to
levy on a horse that was blind.
After due notice the horse was
auctioned off. There We're only
two bidders, both Of whom were
blind drunk on blind tiger liquor.
The highest bidder resold the
horse to a negro preacher and
took a mortgage on blind mule
to secure the debt. Last week
the blind horse died with the
blind staggers."
