STALE BREAD ECONOMY.
Stages Through Which the Bakers
Product Passes Before 1t Is
Useless.

A Long Island man who was show
ing friend couple of hunting dogs
at his place the other day looked up
as he heard the sound of approaching
wheels. Here's the bread man." he
remarked, and as his friend gazed in
surprise at the open cart laden with
bullying sacks, thinking it the strang-
est bakers outfit he had yet seen,
the owner of the dogs bought a bar
rel of the merchants stuff, says the
New York Tribune.
IT'S for the dogs, you know" he
explained, as the wagon drove off.
Broken up and mixed with other
things it makes good food for them.
That man does very well with his
stale bread business. He buys the
bread at low price in the city when
it is too ola to sell to customers
there. But it hasn't reached the dog
food stage then, by any means. He
first retails it as long as he can to
the Italians who work on the roads
and do all the hard labor hereabouts.
[ believe they wash it down with
beer of about the same state of
freshness. Well, when the bread gets
so stale that even the Italians can't
eat it, it is ready to be peddled
around among the villages in the
neighborhood. The farmers buy it
to feed their pigs and chickens, and
good many people use it, as l do,
for their dogs, so there is no loss
or waste to cut down the dealers
profit"

WHEN THE WINDOW RATTLES.
Annoying Thing Won't Stay
Fixed

Possibly you have had this expert
ence:
The wind bowls without, and just
as you are falling into a doze the
sash rattles.
''Drat the Window" you say, and
turn over.
There is a lull; then another gust
of wind, and the rafting is heard
louder than before, says the Chicago
Post.
"I'll have to fix that" you exclaim,
ftr a single loose window is a most
effective sleep disturber. If several
were rafting it would not be so bad,
but one that shakes sharply at in
tervals wears on the nerves. So you
get up and put a tiny paper plug
between the casing and the sash.
A few minutes later you become
suddenly conscious of the fact that
it is rafting again.
"Well, let it," you say, in disgust;
but you can't. Your mind is now on
it, and you find yourself involuntarily
listening for the expected noise, and
WOHueTlHS HOW long IL Will De De-
fore you hear it. So at last you get
up and put in another plug of paper.
'"That'll settle it, you say; but it
doesn't. just as you are convinced
it is all right it rattles again.
''In how many dod-gasted places is
that window loose?" you mutter, as
you get up and insert third plug.
Then for ten minutes you listen so
intently that it hurts, but you do
not hear sound.
cat last" you say, with sigh of
relief, and Immediately thereafter it
rattles.
Perhaps on the fourth or fifth trial
you get it fixed, and when you are
satisfied that it is all right you say
to yourself: I'll send a carpenter
up to attend to that tomorrow"
after which you fall asleep.
And then you forget all about the
carpenter until some night when the
wind gets on another bender.

Cleaning Wooden Fabrics.

To clean dust or CRIME from light
cloths first brush thoroughly, then
rub with cornmeal, using a piece of
light cloth for the rubbing. BY this
simple process l have known cream
tan broadcloth coats and skirts, so
much worn now, entirely freshened
and cleaned. Grease-spots must be
removed by solvents or absorbents. If
the spot be fresh, and the color of
the fabric will not be changed by heat,
the easiest method of removal is to
place white blotting-paper above and
under the spot, and then stand an
iron on it-not hot enough to color the
paper. Another effective measure is
to cover the spot with pulverized
French chalk dry, or with the same
chalk or fuller's earth moistened in
benzine, to remain "a hours, and then
be renewed if necessary, always brush
ing it off, however, with a soft brush

WITHHOLD YOUR TONGUE.
Much Unhnppiness Results from the
Reprehensible Habit of Making
Sharp RetOrts,

The habit of answering back" is as
reprehensible in grown people as in
children, and should be suppressed by
every person anxious to lead peace
able and harmonious life, says the La
dies World, New York. The "scrap.
ply" household, in which each member
strives for the last word in the argu-
ment, is most anxious to maintain an
independent course of action, is
afraid lest he shall be imposed upon,
is not happy household, nor can it
ever become such a one. 1t is an
odious place to visit, and the separate
individuals that compose it can al
ways have a pleasanter atmosphere
and time somewhere else, yet it is but
seldom that anyone will give up the
habit, or as whole reform and insti"
tute new order of things.
There is but one way to produce n
lasting result, and that Is to withhold
your tongue" on each and every occa-
sion when bitter or sharp words arise
to the surface. The old adage: SIT
takes two to make quarrel" is invari-
ably true, and while silence is an ag-
gravating response to an irritating
remark its effect is inevitable. The
temptation to repudiate an unjust ac-
cusation is strong, but if it is unjust it
will be regretted more than if a quar-
rel resulted in which both parties lost
their temper. She who will inwardly
determine to withhold her tongue"
from ill-natured remark, from unkind
suggestion, from bitter retort, from
nagging, will begin revolution in her
own home. Do not wait for some one
else. to start the movement; have the
joy in your own soul that you have
planted the seeds of happiness your
self. Do not be discouraged if your eff
forts are not met half way. Go all the
way if need be; seek peace and PUP
sue it'll"

ChiffOnade Salad,

This is a combination of all the salad
green's and vegetables in season, or of
as many of them as you fancy. The
idea is to get fine color effect in the
blending. Tomatoes and cucumbers
are cut in thin slices, while the beets
may be cut into fancy shapes and cell
cry into narrow strips like tiny straws.
Make dressing with ard-boiIed egg
yolk mashed fine, add eighth of tea
spoonful of paprika, quarter of tea
spoonful of salt, half teaspoonful of
made mustard, a teaspoonful of minced
chives, three tablespoonfuls of oil and
TWO of vinegar. Add this to the salad
and serve at once.-Indianapolis News.

New TaHeta Silks.

Flowered taffeta silks are in much
more subdued colorings than last year,
but are much more artistic. They are
used for evening as we'll as for recep-
ton gowns, and, oddly enough, are
combined with plain silk. An exceed
ingiy smart gown that is a favorite
model of the season is of light tan
silk, with punches of pink roses. The
skirt itself is strapped with bands of
plain tan silk, finished with black
taffeta and hemstitching in heavy
black silk. The waist Is of the silk, in
blouse shape, trimmed to match the
skirt with the bands of plain silk, and
shown in front a yellow lace, over
which are strips of black velvet,
fastened with rhinestone buckles. The
belt is a narrow pointed one of black
taffeta and the collar black taffeta
stock. 4 most original design has
been carried out, and the touch of
black against the light tan and pink is
marvelously effective. There is in the
black, blue, prune, green and white an
endless variety of design and coloring
The blue is bright china blue, and is
the smartest, the prune more fashion
able than the blue and the green deli
ciously cool-looking; but red is the
newest of all.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Larger Hosnitn1itx.

We look about us and see large end
beautiful homes into which a guest
rarely enters, and we wonder why the
large heart and the large house do not
always go together. We grieve be-
cause we are denied the opportunity
of being hospitable. But there is
sense in which the hospitable heart
can manifest itself even without the
house. We can be kind and generous
to the opinions of those we meet-yes,
even to their peculiarities and their
weakness. We may not agree with
their views, we may even feel that
they are wrong or foolish. but never
theless, we can listen to that which
deeply interests them, we can open our
hearts to the confidence which it is a
relief to them to give us.-Detroit

is called in Japan a toko-niWa, and
every well-bred Japanese family that
cannot afford domain large enough
for real garden buys a toko-niwa
and sets it up in what might be called
the area-way of the house, or in the

Only recently have these exquisite
miniature gardens been brought to

things to import, and as yet are very
costly, for all the trees and shrubs
