Little Lessons

Grapes are undoubtedly one OF the most
excellent OF fruits. Being one or the nrst
fruits eaten by mankind they have always
been held in high esteem from antiquity
down to the present time. Several hum
dred varieties of the grape are now culu-
waited. To enjoy them fully and derive the
most benefit from eating them they should
be served raw, but they give very pleas
ant variety in the bill Of fare when cooked
in many ways. The skin and seeds are
very indigestible and should always be re-
jected. although the skins may be used
jam or marmalade, as the skins are rem
dered soft as the pulp.

turn out and serve with whipped cream.

keeping skins separate. Boil the pulps

two quarts of sugar and one tablespoon
each of ground cloves and cinnamon. Bring

An Incident Of the Lunch Counter.

She was one of those inscrutable women
who remind you of a cat-not a soft, purry
tabby, but a vicious little animal that
would scratch. She had just finished eat
ing table d'hote luncheon in a department
store restaurant. The dining room was
crowded and people were awaiting their
turns near other peoples chairs.
Seeing that this woman had completed
her luncheon, another woman stepped be-
hind her chair and was patiently waiting
for her to vacate the place, which she
supposed would be in few moments. as
the last drop of coffee had been drained
from her cup and the waitress had brought
her change.
The woman at the table started to rise
The other woman sighed breath OF relief.
But suddenly she sat down again In her
chair and a cunning triumph crept into her
eyes and lurked about her mouth.
'I'll have another cup Of coffee" she said

woman behind the chair patiently waited.
thinking thin she might soon be finished But
was again beckoned.
Bring me a piece of strawberry short
cake" she said: and as she waited she
thought to herself, ''She can't make me get
out of here until get ready"
The woman behind the chair said to her
self, We'll, I can stand 1t as long as she
can. II Is not costing me anything"
When the shortcake was about half dis
posed Of the woman sat back In the chair
and refused to eat another bite until the
waitress brought her another cup Of cof-
fee. Then she ate the last bite and drank
some of the coffee. What was left she sly
ly spilled and made big brown pool on the
cloth before her.
Then she leisurely rose and offered her
seat to the lady behind her AS plain as
words her eyes flashed. ANYWAY, I've kept
you waiting long while and soiled the
cloth where you will have to eat
But the message she received from the
other woman's eyes in turn made her lower
her face and stink away like Ignorance be-
fore the Light.
AS she walked toward the elevator she
glanced back. To her chagrin, the woman
was not sitting before the wet table at all,
but was accepting seat vacated by a gen.
tleman who had been quietly watching the
exhibition OF the generosity of woman to

And though from chaos they may pass
They leave the theme in tatters-
But then
What of the men?
They say that women lose their head
When meeting opposition.
With voices high and faces red.
They seem bent on perdtion-
They glare about with angry scowis
When silenced for the minute.
They argue wild in shrillest howIs
When told that they're not in IT,

The "New" woman ON the Farm.

Boston Transcript
There is considerable significance in the
fact that this year over fifty girls have
taken up the study of scientific farming at
the Minneapolis College of Agriculture and
have thus announced their intention to ad-
here to country life. The college, it seems,
has been in existence for the past decade,
but girls have only recently been admitted.
The character of the instruction available
to the girl students is suggestive. The
course presented emphasizes the sciences
of botany, chemistry, physics and geology
requiring during the freshmen and sopho-
more years at least two terms work in
each of them. Boys and girls work to-
gether, II seems, throughout about two
study in Ianeua9e 4afSemsfcs mnlen scsnre
civics, and considerable technical work
In the case of the girls cooking, laun-
drying and sewing are substituted for car
pentry, blacksmithing and veterinary SCI
ence. The girls, too, give more attention
to household art, home economy and do
mestic hygiene than to the business aspect
OF farming.
1t is happily the chief purpose of the COL
lege to awaken in its entire student body
a keen interest in farming, farm life. the
farm 1 r,i,o house and farm society. Both boys
and how to lay out the grounds artistically.
Considerable attention is given to the fur
msnlng OF nouses TO literature, music and
social culture, with the general thought "of
making the farm home the most attractive
spot on EARTH" The result of the new
movement is being watched with keen in
terest by agriculturists and educators. 1t
is evident that should it prove successful
the innovation will spread to other agricul-
tural States. Its influence, one readily ap-
prehends, is apt to be social as well as
agricultural in character. Heretofore one
great drawback to farming has been the
difficulty of keeping the farmers sons on
the farm. With trained and educated girls
enthusiastically taking up the profession
of farming. 1t Is pointed out that life in
the country would take on a new charm
and that the exodus of young men to cities
would be materially lessened. 1t is difficult
to forecast the outcome. But it is pleasant
to think that we may be coming close to
the long-sought solution of the problem
of cities.

She is well posted with regard to opera
music, having attended opera performances
since early childhood, and has been well
trained in singing At the beginning OF
the season she makes list OF the operas
scheduled for production in New York and
also notes the famous singers who are TO
take part in them. Then she issues a cir
cular announcing that she is prepared to
form a class of women for the purpose OF
acquiring familiarity with the plot and
the music of the respective operas The
instruction takes the form OF talk, illus
trated with piano and vocal excerpts from
the opera under discussion, rendered by
the lecturer. Opera matinee or evening

They are produced in colors and tones to

variations are possible in the weave. the

separate rugs, as filling with Oriental
rugs, for dadoes in Colonial rooms, couch
covers and the like. Materials in cotton or
wool are the best and colors fast, so that
scrubbings and baths can free them from
microbes.

Helens lips are drifting dust;
lion Is consumed with rust;
All the galleons of Greece
Drink the oceans dreamless peace:
Lost was Solomon's purple show
Restless centuries ago:
Empires died and left no stain

Only one thing. undefaced.
Lasts, though all the world lie waste
And the heavens are overturned.
Dear. how long ago We learned!
There's a sight that blinds the sun,
Sound that lives when sounds are done,
Music that rebukes the birds,
Language lovelier than words,
Hue and scent that shame the rose,
Wine no earthly vineyard knows,
Ocean more diyineiy free
Than Pacifc's drainless sea,
Silence stiiler than the shore.

NO MORE STRIKES FOR

Frank p. Sargent, of Peoria. grand
master of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen. in an interview the
other day stated that he felt sure
that all labor troubles or differences
would. in the course of few years.
be settled entirely by arbitration and
that the time of strikes wherein long
and bitter struggles, costing both the
capitalists and the laboring men
great financial losses had passed. He
declared himself as being opposed to
having the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen engaging in any strike
where any fair means of settlement
is at hand. as he knew from expert
cnce that his boys" were losing
money and being caused TO suffer
when on q strike. The Industrial
Commission. which is the outcome of
the recent conference held in New

crease the number of labor Difficult

Sargent's views. n great factor in

of this country.
