WHY The Eishnn DID Not scolh.

"a little boy in the neighborhood of
Bishop Brooks home in Boston was
one day mischieyously ringing door
bells and running away before the
doors were opened" says writer in
The Ladies' Home Journal. In pur
suit of this amusement he ran UP the
steps of the bishops residence. and the
bishop, happening to be in the hall
ready to go out, opened the door quick
", before the boy had turned to de-
scend the steps. The child was so star
tied by the sudden appearance Of the
good man, who had a kindly smile for
all children, that he circulated: Why,
Philips Brooks! Do you live here% In
spite of the misdemeanor the bishop
could not find it in his heart to scold
the little fellow He also had been a

THE COOKBOOK.

Bread keeps better in a wooden box
than in one Of tin.
Meat should always be cooked with
the fat downward.
WheG a recipe says ''one cupful," you
may be safe in using half pint.
TO test milk place a drop on the finger
nail. Ii 1t stays there, the milk is good.
Il It runs off, like water. don't use 1t.
Liver should always be parboiled and
wiped dry before frying. This not only
keeps the juice, but softens the flavor.
A good way to extract the juice from
beef for those who require that nourish.
ment is to boil the beef on gridiron for
a few minutes and then squeeze with d
lemon sqneezer. Add little salt.

The real southern way of cooking
sweet potatoes is to bake them with
sugar. Boil the sweet potatoes until
they are slightly tender, then remove
them from the fire, peel and cut them
into slices about quarter of an inch in
thickness. Lag them in a baking dish,
sprinkle with salt and sugar and add
little water AS to the amount of
sugar to use, that is matter upon
which the cook must use her own taste
and judgment. Add bits of butter on
top and bake slowly until the potatoes
have absorbed the water and have

A PORTRAIT.

The mason's hand is rough and SCARED,
The mascn's back is stopped and bowed;
His brow, close bent above the stone,
With lines Of strenuous toll is plowed
Small ease his honest years have known,
For Labor claims him as her own.
With skillfll hand he carves and chips.
His chisel on the hard stone rings.
The gray dust flies about his head,
And ever at his work be sings
A simple Groom Of boyhood's day.
Timing his ehisel to the lay.
And all in reverence pause
Where he sits careless on the stone;
hail him one of Labor's kings,
The humble seat his rightful throne
For yesterday beneath his blow,
Wondering, l saw an angel grow.

CONCERNING THE BATH.

How to Batae So as to BE Benefited.
Temperature of Water.
Few persons pay proper attention
10 the rules which should govern the
BATH said the DOCTOR Many bathe
too much; others surrender themselves
to the saving influence of water tc0-
seldom.
"One important rule which is i.iost
often violated is that Of rubbing down
after indulging in exercise. ThoG
sands Of persons go cycling every dly,
or take other vigorous exercise. after
which they willfully or thoughtlessly
neglect TO remove their underciothes
and energetically rub down with a
coarse towel and trifle Of wood al
cohol. More than half the pleasure
In exercise is in the sensation of reviyi-
ficatlon obtained from this dry bath,
for when damp underwear is replaced
with that which is dry one feels like
new or newly made person, so re-
freshed and inyigorated has he become.
Catching cold is frequently the result
of neglect to properly care for your
self after exercising.
IRON the ages of 10 to 10 years
children should not battle more than
twice q week, although, of course, a
sponge bath should be taken daily. 4
good, lingering plunge bath once a week
is sufficient for cleanliness, but less
than that certainly is not. The tenn
perature of the water should be about
90 degrees Fahrenheit, and the best
time for the bath is just before tum-
bling into bed although this is not abso-
lutely essential. If taken at any other
time it should be subsequented by q
cold or cool shower.
From 16 to 81 years the baths for
cleanliness are the same. A tub bath,
with the temperature of the water
varying between GO degrees and 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit, may be taken every
day on rising from bed In place Of it
n shower bath for about three minutes,
with the water at 60 degrees Fahren-
heit, may be substituted, but when this
shower bath is used the tub bath at
30 degrees Fahrenheit should never
be INDUCED in more often than once
week. To all adults in good health
these rules apply until the first effects
of age are manifested
'Neyer take a bath within two hours
of hearty meal The first effect Of
immersion in either warm or cold
water is grave arrangement of the di-
gestive process. 4 subsequent physio-
logical effect is the arrangement Of
the entire nervous system. something
which is extremely dangerous to the
bather. There are countless instances
of severe illness and even of death
caused by bathing while the stomach
was full"
