The Dutchwoman is before and above
all things a housewife. Indeed her love
Of home comes very near akin to wor-
ship, and the greatest compliment that
can be paid to her is to praise the neat
ness and sweetness of the house that il
her kingdom. She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanli-
ness. and even in the very poor quarters
Of the cities, where the houses are small
and crowded together. the windows are
daintily decked with curtains Of spot-
less white. the rooms we'll swept and
tidy. the humble furniture carefully
busted and polished. This desire for
cleanliness. in fact, almost amounts to
IA craze. and housewives and servants
alike evince strong partiality for
scrubhing. cleaning and washing. Even
in well to do families domestic train
ing is considered natural and neces-
sary adjunct Of the daughters educa-

duties apportioncd to her. She is like

Tennyson's Humility.

The poet Tennyson was gifted with
the grace of humility. His letters dis.
close his dissatisfaction with himself
and his achievements. He pitched his
ideals high. and ne knew, none more
clearly. when he failed to grasp what
he had reached after An anecdote con-
tributed by the Duke of Argyll and
quoted by Miss Cary in her volume,
"Tennyson. exhibits the poets hu-
mility.
''The first words heard him utter,
says the duke, remain indelibly i'm
pressed upon my memory. On being in
troduced to him at an evening party in
the house OF Lord John Russell, I said
perhaps with somo emotion:
4 am go glad to know youl'
''Not in the tone or voice Of mere
conventional reply. but in the accents
of sincere humility, he anawered:
You won't find much in me. after
all.'"

A Diah of Tea

Etiquette is strange affair. It
changes so indisputably that what in
one century will be called polite III an
other will be dubbed the climax of vul-
garity. Take that simple matter. for
example. the drinking of tea from the
saucer. When tea was first used in
England, it was drunk from dish. In
old collections Of china many of these
quaint pieces will be found. They are
shallow basins devoid of handles.
Then some one introduced cups with
handles and saucers. Old fashioned folk
did not care for them. and as a protest
they poured their tea into the saucer
and drank it from there, barking back
as far as they could to the old beloved
''dish
But. as to be old fashioned is usually
an objectionable social crime, people
who were up to date determined that to
drink from the saucer was a vulgar
habit just as bad as eating with knife
In the kitchen and comfortable quar-
ters Of that kind. where those vino
drank their tea drank it as they pre.
ferred, the fashion for pouring it into
the saucer continued. But up stairs my
lady was far too fastidious. She waited
until hers cooled or drank it scalding
And so matters have gone on. Even if
this year leader of society were to
start the old fashion again it would
take many long month to do away
with the great prejudice there is for tea
drinking out of the saucer.

She Ate ANITA.

A young girl from the East Indian
islands. after having travelled many
thousands of miles through storm and
stress. reached American shores She
was n sickly looking girl. and the ply
sicians who took her in charge soon
after her arrival decided that she was
suffering from an aggravated case Of
stomach trouble.
Her symptoms were the most peculiar
they had ever come across in the course
Of their wide experience, however. and
it required much study and many con-
situations to trace the deplorable effects
back to their cause. Finally they learned
that the girls disordered digestion wac
brought about by eating too freely Of
white ants.
These ants are an important article
Of food in some portions of the East In
dies The natives skim them off the top
Of the water. where they lie like coat
of thick cream. and parch them in little
iron pots. After being parched some Of
them are made into drink, like coffee
others are ground into -four and mixed
into bread. while still others are eaten
like popcorn.
But too much Of an ant diet is bad
for the system. and that little girl from
the Indies had to swallow n small drug
store Of American antidotes to bring
back her health.
