Not tho Girl for Him.

The father was quite anxious for his
son to marry, and on every occasion
he was picking out what he thought
was suitable girl. One night at a
dinner the old gentleman sat next to
a very attractive young woman, and
on his way home he was loud in his
praises. MY boy" he said, shes
the very girl for you" Not much"
replied the boy, with peculiar empha-
sis. But l say she is," insisted papa.
And I say not" insisted the son.
The father became testy on the sub
ject. You're too hard to please. You
don't expect a woman to be perfect,
do your" mo" Then why isn't this
one just the girl for your Because"
replied the young man with an effort.

Evidence of Desire to Sell.

WI Ting-fang, who was a guest at
recent wedding in Washington, was
approached after the ceremony by the
best man and jocu,arly asked to go
over to the young couple and pro-
nounce a Chinese parental blessing.
The obliging WI Immediately COM

May every new year bless you with
a man child offspring until they shall
number twenty-five in all. May these
twenty-five man-children offspring pre-
sent you with twenty-five times

The common notion that Germans
are the heaviest beer drinkers is refut-
ed by statistics published by the British
Board of Trade. Last year every Ger
man. on the average. drank twenty
seven gallons, while the average Eng
lishman drank thirty-two gallons. The
consumption in the United States was
less than half as much, per capita. as
in Germany. With the exceptions of
the Belgians. the British are the lars-
est beer-drinkers in the world. and the
consumption has grown rapidly during
the last fifteen years. A sharp change
toward total abstinence would compel
Ia recasting of budgets. for last year
26 per cent of the net revenue of Great
Britain was derived from the taxation
of beer. wine and spirits.

Ten thousand dollars is the price
which Andrew Foy, a stonemason,
thinks the city of New York should
pay him for three of his front teeth.
On the night of Sept. II Foy stepped
off a new cement sidewalk in the
vicinity of Kedzie avenue and West
Taylor street, and, losing his balance,
fell against an upright piece of scant-
ling. Three of his front teeth were
driven far into the scantling by the
force of the fall, and Foy could not re-
lease them. He took the scantling
along and sought dentist, but the
teeth came out when the dentist tried
to pull the scantling off. The scant-
ling. with the three teeth sticking in
it, will be exhibited when the damage
suit comes to trial.

men, and we get their figures by adding
about five to each of the foregoing. So
during the new century, we may ex-
peet TO see many brides Of 80 summers.
There is q reason for this. Persons do
not marry and then provide the means
for their support by their joint efforts.
but they insist upon the means OF living
before assuming the responsibilities Of
married life There are no more piO-
neers whos with little property, take
their wedding tours into new lands and
there build up a home from the most
humble beginning by hard work and
great sacrifice. Many OF the great for
tunes OF today were founded IN this
way. But the times have changed
Man makes the first great effort alone.
If he must make an effort. and does not
ask the woman to share his labors. She
waits until he has made the provision
Then man is slower in getting his start
IN life, for education is thought more Of
than ever before, and school and college
get years that used to be devoted to the
more stern duties of life. Many a pres
ent grandfather was we'll along in his
business career at the age Of his grand
son who is now completing his college
course.
The dear girls. also, are working for
an education at the age when their
grandmothers were caring for their par
ents.
So the tendency with both sexes is to
postpone the wedding day, and recent
statistics show quite clearly that the
twentieth century will witness few early
marriages, and that by far the greater
number Of unions will be between men
and women who are near to the close
Of three decenniums.

Inquiries Answered.

Mrs J. NJ. B. writes: Very often IN try
ing a new recipe for small cakes like cook
les, I find there is not near enough -four
to make the dough stiff enough to roll
out. Do you suppose these recipes are
at all reliable. or is it the fault of the
the -four used2
The flour may have something to DO
with it. as there is q slight variation IN
the proportion used. even of same grade
of flour in different localities, as we have
explained heretofore. But It is very nee
essary to keep your dough thoroughly
chilled. II you viii set It In a cold place
for a sufficient length of time It wiz get
quite stiff and viii roll and cut without
adding more -four, which often makes
the cookies too dry and broadly when bak-
ed. If making up a large quantity at
time, keep the dough IA a cool place,
break Off only enough to make a painful
at a time and then chill the cakes before
going in the oven In this way you will
find most OF the recipes are just IN right

Age of Brides Increasing.

Brides OF the twentieth century will be

to marry later IN life has been often

seldom much under % years old, while

While we of middle life look up our

CoNGREG ATIoNAL CHURCH ITEMS.
The century Scrmou preached by
Rev +. \. johnson on the last Sunday
of the century was listened to with
the deepest interest and the desire is
frequently expressed that it may be
published. Such sermons ought to be
put i'm IA permanent form for future
reference. Mr. johnson quoted some
of the closing passages OF the sermon
of PEARSON Griswold which he delivered
100 years ago and which seemed very
appropriate to the present time. 1t is
possible that The same words may be
quoted again 100 years from now.
The watch night service at the Con-
gregat ional chapel was largely attend
ed and was a very unique and interest
ing service. 1t was largely reminiscent
to begin with. Eli Clark, who is 81
years old, came down from his home,
three miles away. and gave a very in
teresting account of his early days.
| Mr. Clark is one who does not think
that the old times were better than
these, and it was cheering to hear his
words of faith and confidence in the
future. Col Starr. who will be IS years
old i'm a few days, sent paper which
was read by his grandson, +. +. Starr,
describing lie village as it was in his
boyhood, locating he few houses that
wee then here and naming the occu.

On the evening of January l the
first church sociable of the season was
held i'm the form of a cOnundrum sup
per, which was largely at tended. The
studying out of the carefully prepared
menu proved il conundrum to a good
many people, but some got around the
difficulty by Il sweeping order covering
the whole and thus secured three
kinds of drink and several kinds of pie
