Painful Rc.uIt. of s,outne..

A stout man lifted himself into a
Heights car the other morning and took
the only vacant seat. Pretty soon Il
lady came aboard. and the stout man
quickly arose Ia tender her his place.
AS he reached Il standing position the
car suddenly started. and he sat down
with n sound like n broken slat. Blush
ing deeply. he once more struggled to
his feet and was about to step out into
the aisle when the mOtOrman saw a
wagon on the track and fiercely ap-
piled the brakes. The car stopped so
suddenly that the stout man doubled
over on n thin young man in the front
seat and almost cracked his slender
neck. The young man pushed the dents
out of his derby hat and muttered
some remarks that were not compli-
meEtary to fat people in general.
Then the fat man braccd himself for
the third time. and the lady sympathet-
ically remarked. please don't trouble
yourself" But the fat mans spirit
was up. He crowded out into the aisle
and filled it so full that the lady could
not get by him; then. with n polite
wave Of his hand. he indicated the seat
and backed out of the way.
Thank your said the lady very
sweetly. But l get of at the next
stop"
Then the fat man went out and filed
up the back platform.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

G1,mp,e of the Japanese.

Mrs. Hugh Fraser, the author, wild
ow of an English diplomat and sister
of Marion Crawford, says of her life
in Japan, to which her husband was
minister from Great Britain:
The absence of snobbishness and kin
dred vices in Japan impresses itself
very clearly upon one. There are two
characteristics of the japanese which
stand out very boldly. Home life is
paramount. and the possession of mon
ey is but lightly regarded. ANY one
who would pretend to be richer than
he is would be calmly avoided as a
fool. Money is not spoken of, the alb
sence of it is not apologiZed for. A
person living in n poor way gives n
guest all he has to offer and is not hu-
inflated at having to show his power
ty The rich man does not overwhelm
you with his riches. He shows you
one beautiful object from his collection
at time in an empty room, only beau
tiful through its perfect proportions,
coloring and cleanliness. These people
travel through life so lightly weighted,
their requirements are so few in the
material order, that they seem as indie
pendent as the swallows and fly where
we, weighted down by the commissariat
for our artificial wants, can only creep.
But they hold invisible things very pre-
cious. Honor and self respect the love
of their children, the harmony of the
family. the privileges of patriotism, the
commonwealth of learning, these are
things for which they will sacrifice

CLOSE FIGURING.
How q Woman Upheld Her Reputa-
ton For Economy.

TtOh fOr ECONOMY
She was the wife of an official of a
St. Paul street corporation. Her one
pet hobby was economy. Though her
husband made an excellent salary, she
was rigid in her rules pertaining to the
buying of the neceSSarieS for the
household. She would haunt bargain
counters and market stalls for hours in
order to get the benefit of Il reduction
of a few cents on the article desired.
The corporation official, with much
laughter, used to tease his better half
about what he called her "StinGineSS.
So one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule,
she resolved to take him to market
with her and demonstrate beyond 4
doubt that she was n most economical
buyer. He consented. STIMULATING that
he was not to be asked to carry the
basket.
Arriving at the market, she made
several purchases, and then at one
stall inquired the price Of eggs.
What she exclaimed, 10 cents q
dozen? No, indeed, that is too high"
She dragged her reluctant husband
after her from one stand to another,
still inquirinG the price of eggs and al
ways receiving the same answer until
near the upper end of the market.
Here she found n dealer who offered
to sell her eggs in any quantity for II
cents. To her husband she said joy
ously:
There, told you so. Why, those
others were robbers"
Turning to the salesman, she ordered
half dozen eggs, gravcly handed him
the s cents asked in payment and
went home, prattling away about the
worth of economy in marketing and
the alleged Willingness of dealers to
gouge the unsuspccting customer.
And to this day she does not know
that her husband and his friends
laughed over it at the club.-Baltimore

IN REFERENCE TO MENUS.

Nnen arranging menus for the week that
are 10 be used in widely different sections,
and under very varied conditions. one must
hrst consider the most available dishes TO
Preseht suited TO the season and calling
Tor materials readily obtainable in almost
any part OF the country open To commerce
in fresh food materials.
One must of necessity leave much to the
good Judgment Of the housewife in regard
10 detail. it is not possible to be ac-
Gualhteu with every existing condition.
The Prime Object.
Is to give an idea by the selection and ar
ransement OF dishes, how to proportion
the necessary food substances required for
each days meals. Also to suggest new
ways OF serving and methods of preparing
the everyday materials III order to avoid
monotOny, which is not conducive to good
appetite with dainty eater. While the
menus are seemingly elaborate the dishes
are with but few exceptions composed of
the plalnest and least expensive materials.
Inc variety conveys the impression that
houSekeeper. The aim is TO strike a happy
medium and suit very great many tastes
OF classifying the dishes in order, il is a
very simple matter to add to, or curtail
these menus. The simplest dinner menu
must have the following courses: Soup, a
meat olsh or its equivalent. with accom-
with coffee, or it is not a dinner. From
TINS plain foundation we build up, first
adding the fish course, then relishes, en-
trees and so on, until we get to the formal,
ceremonious dinner.
The Materials Selected
The menus do not give many OF the eX-
HG4lSINS iOdSlS OF JOlIlSb having IN view
the fact that any one is more or less IA
miliar with these cuts OF meat and how
they are used, but may be entirely in iS-
norance of the cheaper and oftimes better
parts OF the animal. There is difficulty in
disposing of these large and expensive
pieces when the family is small. And un-
less roast is of considerable thickness 1t
is not satisfactory. The desserts are also
selected with view to economy we'll
variety. When the family is very small
the dessert question is more of problem.
Many of these dishes are best made in mod
erately large quantities. To avoid left
overs in this line, select desserts that can
be made in very small proportions, like
the various egg custard prepare lions,
1unket, Selatines, fruit tapiocas and dishes
OF like nature.
When fruits are enjoyed, they are the
best desserts for small families, using
either fresh or stewed- This dessert can
be disposed of except for special occasions
like Sunday, If having sufficient other
Yiands to supply the proper amount of
food, the dessert is added only as a finish
ing touch But in most families the here
after is great consideration. A separate
chapter Will be devoted to the subject of
dishes made from the Ieft-overs which
usually perpleX the houSekeeper with but
one or two in to cater for.
