30 euslness Women Make Bost Wlves7

% Business Women Make Best WlVesP
The business woman is having her
Innings ut last. The wise ones OF the
earth are beginning to say that the ex'
business woman makes the best wife IN
the world. She does not expect impos-
slbilities of punctuality In her hus-'
band, neither does she send him on
errands during business hours. She
knows that business cares are of ne
cessIty apt to engross much Of the at
tention of the successful man, even
when he is absent from the office.
She does not talk to q man who Is
reading the stock reports in the morn
lng paper, and she brings all her
trained mental faculties to bear on
household problems. In consequence
of the latter fact, she Is able to master
detail in a shorter time than is re-
qulred by the inexperienced young
wife, who, previous to her marriage, has
had no more serious problems than
engagements to cngross her mind.
The members of the opposition ara
prone to declare that the woman who
has earned her own money is moro
careless in tile spending of that earned
by her husband. This the friends OF
the business woman deny; they claim
that she has learned to know the value
Of money, and Is better able to admin
lister it than the woman who has pre-
viously had it doled out to her In
small sums or had her bills paid for
her.-Phiiadelphia North American.

He Wouldn't Do.

A well-dressed lad, the son Of
wealthy parents, thought it would be
quite manly to earn few coppers for
himself by selling newspapers. He
stopped tattered newsboy In the
street and said to him:
"Do you think should be able to
earn money as you do If bought some
papers and came to this corner to sell
then?'
"Why do you want to sell papers"
"I'm tired of being idle"
"WelI," said the philosophic little
newsboy, with q serious air. dyer
think you can hold 20 papers in one
hand, lick three of four boys bigger'n
yerself with the other hand, while yer
keeps two more off with yer feet, and
yells WAR 'ditionr oil the timer"
"No-o, 1 don't" replied the we'll
dressed boy.
"Then ye're no good in the news
paper biz," replied the tattered phil
osopher. you'd better get yer people
to prentice yer to something Light

10 No. whlaper In the Sick Room.

Whatever is considered unsuita Bile
for sick person to hear should never
be whispered in the room or just out
side the door. All conversation neces-
sary in the room should be held IN a
clear, low tone. thus leaving no fear IN
the patients mind that the truth Is
being withheld from her or that
events are transpiring of which she Is
being kept in ignorance. /.
People VINO would never think OF
transgressing the rules Of politeness
by whispering in the presence OF a third
person will drive to despair one who
is sick by carrying on q whispered con-
sultatlon where she can hear the dis
agreeable buzz without being able to
distinguish word.
Sick persons are always far more
sensitive than those who are well. aud
for this reason. at least, the ordinary
rules of etiquette should be observed IN
their presence.

To Can Vegetables.

4 housckeeper who is famous for her
canned vegetables. which she puts up
herself and which far excel in flavor
those sold in the grocery stores, gives
the following directions: For corn,
cut the kernels from the cobs ant pack
them in glass jar that has been thor
oughly cleansed and scalded. Put on
the rubber, lay the cover of the jar on
loosely, without screwing it, and stand
it in kettle of cold water that comes
two-thirds of the way to the top.
Cover the kettle and boil steadily for
four hours. Remove from the boiling
water and screw the cover on al once
without removing it. Pens cannot be
packed tightly without breakingthem
and consequently, after all the peas
possible, without breaking them have
been put into Il jar, cold water should
be added until it bubbles at the top.
String beans can be packed inwhole
or they Gun be cut in thin strips the
length of the pods, or in short sections.
They need only two hours Of cooking.
In other respects the rule for crn ap-
plies to all. The vegetables will ihrink,
but as the hot air which is confined in
the jars is sterilized that will mike no
difference,

itaIy's Iron Crown.

In accordance with King Victor's
orders, the iron crown was taken
from the chapel in the cathedral ut
Monza, where 1t is kept, and set on
the coffin of his father. This precious
old crown symbolizes the italian
royal power. For twelve centuries
the italian Kings were crowned with
1t. A tradition accepted by the Ro-
man Church tells that the rough iron
circle forming the inside is one, Of the
nails used in the cruclf1xion of our
Lord, which Empress Helena, mother
of Constantine the Great, found in
the Holy Land. The outside of the
crown is of purest gold, set with
twenty-four gems. 1t Is q precious
example Of Byzantine work. AS,
however, it belongs to the State. be-
cause of some ancient rights, the
Cathedral of Monza is intrusted with
It's keeping. The priests Of the cathe-
dral who transferred it were escorted
by officers, and solemn service took
place before the masters Of cere-
monies, in state dress, received it. AS
soon as it was set on. the coffin Queens
Margaret and Helen and the Princess
