Man. Woman and Love.

In one of his books Max O'Rell, the
witty %Frenchman, gives the following
advice:
'If you are bald, never make love
to a woman taller than you. Looked
at from below, you are all right.
Never let your ladylove see You
without a collar; no-not even the very
wife of your bosom. A mans head
without a collar is like a bouquet
without a holder.
Never marry a woman richer than
you, one taller than you, or n older
than you. Be always gently superior
to your wife in fortune, in size and in
age, SO that in every possible way she
may appeal to you for help or protec-
ton. either through your purse, your
strength Or your experience in life
Marry her at an age that will always
enable you to play with her all thu
different characteristic parts of a hug
banda chum, a lover, an adviser, a
protector and just a tiny suspicion OF

was carried every day to the beautiful

miraculously healed him. The teacher

who could do nothing but sit at the

BE Slow to Believe 1t.

There is no better test of purity and
true goodness than reluctance to think
evil of ones neighbor and absolute in
capacity to believe an evil report about
good men except upon the most trust
worthy testimony Alas, that this
large and lovely charity is SO rare!
But 1t Is only with those who possess
this charity that men accused Of sins
against society have an equal chance
with those accused, under the forms
of law, of crime. Every man brought
to trial for crime is presumed to be In
nocent until he Is proved to be guilty,
but with the world at large every man
slandered is presumed to be guilty un-
til he proves himself to be innocent,
and even then 1t takes the liberty Of
doubling the testimony. Every man
who rejoices in scandal thereby adver
tises the faci of his own unworthiness,
and every man who is panied by it and
refuses to be impressed by 1t uncon-
sciously reveals his own purity.

ter from j. A. Herr, lifelong Repub-

agriculture for 23 years, and promi.
nent member of the Pennsylvania
State Grange:
Cedar Springs, Pa, Oct. S, 1902-As
the senior active member Of the Penn
sylvania state board of agriculture,
have been in position to study the
actions of the governors of the state
relative to our agricultural interests.
| can testify to the great attention and
consideration accorded us by Governor
Pattison. During the eight years of
his administrations he missed but one
meeting of the board, and when favor
able legislation was enacted 1t always
received his active support and ap-
proval.
During his term of Office he gave
proper consideration to all the agri-
cultural organizations of the state,
thereby endearing himself to the entire
farming community. l am confident
that If elected governor our agricul-
tural interests will be given proper
consideration and receive generous
treatment at his hands. Very truly

BOXING THE COMPASS.
The Test Betweerk Sailor and u
Landlubber.

Boys who live in seaport towns are
sometimes asked to box the compass"
If they can do 1t quickly and accurate
ly, they are fine sailors and may grow
up to be the captain of a four master.
If they miss point or can only do 1t
slowly they are landlubbers and will
never see blue water. To box the COM
pass means to name all the points in
order just rs fast as you can speak.
This is the way an old down east skip
per will rattle 1t off: North, nor by

Can you do it?
If a needle Is drawn few times over
the ends Of horseshoe magnet, 1t be-
comes magnetized. Push such q mag
netlzed needle through small cork.
Place the cork in bowl Of water, TAX
Ing pains to see that the cork when it
floats on the water will carry the nee
die In horizontal position or "on an
even keel" Another way Is to cut
about three inches from hollow straw
(such as is used to suck lemonade) and
fn 10 naoI1a In CT,
The straw will float and carry the nee
die. Now observe what happens. The
floating needle will slowly swing round
till 1t points north and south. The
straw will behave in the same way.
Push 1t in any other direction, and the
moment 1t Is free it swings back again.
We do not know who first observed
the fact that floating magnetized nee
die will point to the north. Nor do we
know precisely when or where some
unknown inventor used this idea to
make compass. All we know is that
the Chinese made and used compasses
more than 1000 years ago.
When men began, perhaps 10000
years ago, to sail upon the water, they
used marks upon the shore to guide
them on their way. Long years after
they observed that certain star kept
at all times the same place In the sky,
and they used this pole star as guide
in steering their ships. Today steam
ship starting down the Hudson river
for Europe is guided by the pilot, and
he uses the buoys, beacons and other
guide marks to steer the ship down the
bay. OF Sandy Hook he gives up the
ship to the captain, who instructs the
helmsman to steer northeast by east,
east by north or whatever course he
selects. and the helmsman, watching
the compass, keeps the ship headed in
that direction.-DallaS News.

COOKING HINTS.

Chocolate Is greatly improved by
adding a teaspoonful Of strong coffee
just before serving.
In adding flour to gravies, always
use flour dredger and there will be
no Jumps in the gravy.
Some housekeepers vary the flavor of
potato salad by boiling the potatoes for
it in stock, or, If it is more convenient,
in the soup kettle.
In using sour milk the proportion for
gingerbread, biscuits, cake or almost
any dough or batter is one teaspoon OF
baking soda to two cups of sour milk.
If making a gelatin dessert on hot
or wet day, add little more gelatin
than the recipe requires, half as much
again If you wish to mold fruit into
the jelly.
Eggs a la ranigote is made by boil
ing eggs three and a half minutes, roll
in leaten egg and fine bread crumbs,
fry in deep fat; when brown, drain on
paper, garnish with parsley and serve
with ranigote sauce.
To make a small shortcake take u
pint of pastry flour, rub in lard the size
of an egg, teaspoonful cream of tartar,
half teaspoonful soda, salt, and mix
with sweet milk. Bake in quick oven,
split and butter and add fruit.
