Advantages of Direct buying.

Certain manufacturing Institutions have

this plan % years ago and have adhered tc
it strictly ever since The result has been
so entirely successful that they are to-day
the largest manufacturers of carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con
sumner exclusively.

most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys at a
much lower price. There is no risk, % this

Golf, or, more correctly, gofcitis, must be
designated the fourth dementia. Golfcitia
is permanent addition to English manias
and is attracting the attention of thinking
alienists. This mania differs from Others
IN that it is not acute in its chronic stages
and is durable. The symptoms are a
loathing for legitimate business, an alb
normal disposition to copious profanity and
nervous irritation, passion for gddy and
eccentric garments, a profound contempt
for truth, hatred of domestic restraint,
accompanied by flushed face and a de-

"If we could rouse her from this apathy"
said the doctor, turning from the patient
with a worried look, there might be some
hope. If she could be made to speak we
might make her realize her condition and
get her to make an effort to save herself.
He turned to the husband, who knelt by
the bed, his haggard face buried in the white
spread.
You understand her so well,' said the
physician, almost irritably. Can t you say
something or do something that will arouse
her from this stupor? Isn't there anything
you could do that would awaken her..
A look of hope lighted the husband pale
face. He rose without a word and lett the

bedside heard the rain pelting against the

Cooking Is science as weIinsnnAr

Cooking Is Science as Well as an Art.
The housekeeper who wants to know
thoroughly her business as caterer sup
plements her row of cook books with
two or three others on the chemistry
of cooking and eating, and with at least
the pamphlets on food authorizations
that are constantly sent out, without
personal expense, by the department
of agriculture, from Washington. 1t
is the acceptance of the fact that cook
ing is science as we'll as an art, that
it is not mere set of makeshift expert
ments, which makes cooking easy. The
chemistry of cooking is as precise as
the chemistry of the laboratory. There
is no such thing in either as good luck
and bad luck; there is only good and
bad management. When we are will
