Always Som ething to Learn.

President Eliot was arguing in favot
of education by Showing how" before
the kindergartners Wednesday night. He
said that he was learning something ev-
cry day by being Shown how"
He illustrated his point by describing
the training of medical students, and
concluded by telling of an old friend OF
his who had suddenly became deaf in
one ear.
"How did this happen?" I asked him.
well, l was blowing my nose the
other day, when l felt something snap
in my ear, followed by an aching and
dullness.
"When the doctor came he said the
drum had split and asked how l did it.
,"I only blew my nose,' told the doc
tor.
We'll, had you opened your mouth
when you blew your nose you would not
now have a damaged ear DRUM was
the medico's reply.
"You see my friend had lived seven
ty years and had never been shown how
to blow his nose," concluded President
Eliot. The application was appreciated
and greeted with great burst of laugh

Where Cupid Gets Quick Action.

One day last week a young man got
off the train at Glendive. The first
sight which arrested his attention was
a pretty young woman standing at her
fathers gate. He spoke to her and
she pleasantly replied. The conversa-
ton continued and they finally walked
down town together. In the store win
dow they saw baby carriage which
suggested housekeeping. In less than
an hour from the time he alighted from
the train the young man was married.
The particulars soon became known,
and it is said that whenever a train
whistles there is blushing maid wait
ing at every gate in Glendive.-Forsyth

made with one tablespoonful of vine
gar, three tablespoonfuls Of oil, one
teaspoonful Of scraped onion, little
salt and pepper; mix this well and
pour over the watercress and two red
boiled beets cut in cubes.
Rhubarb Lemonade-Peel and stew
green rhubarb in plenty of water to
cover, adding a very little sugar and
lemon juice. When the rhubarb is
tender strain off the syrup and when
cold it is ready to use. A few large
raisins cooked with the rhubarb will
improve the flavor. The pulp may be
used with addition of little more
lemon juice, gelatine and juice Of

stale rolls, two cups Of milk, four
eggs, a large tablespoonful of butter

cut off the tops that they may serve
as covers, and set the rolls and the
tops in the oven to become crisp. Heat
the milk and pour it upon the beaten
eggs; stir over the fire until the mix
ture begins to thicken, and then add
the butter and -four. Lastly put in the
asparagus, cut fine and boil tender
and well seasoned. Fill the rolls with
this mixture and serve very hot.

whole figs, cover with boiling water
and cook until tender. Drain the figs
from the liquid, reserving latter, Of

Death as an Excuse.

In a seaside village inhabited chiefly,
it would seem, by the widows and other
bereaved female relatives of sea captains,
summer boarders are the profitable
source of income. To one of these her
future landlady gave the reason her
pleasant rooms had never been rented
before.
"You see, my husband never died till
last winter"
A perhaps more regretful though
equally casual treatment of the departed
suggested the following note of apollo
gy from an Irish woman blessed with a
large family: =,
"Mrs. Murphy is prevented by death
from returning the wash this week, but
hopes to give entire satisfaction next
week

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review OF
Trade says: "The weather and wages
continue the only seriously disturbing
factors in the business situation. Trans
porting lines continue to make splendid
exhibits, railway earnings for the first
week of May exceeding those Of year
ago by 6.2 per cent. and surprising the
same weeks earnings in 1000 by 1919 per
cent AS was indicated by weekly re-
ports, pig iron production attained new
record for the month of April at I,5o3,-
$50 tons and the weekly capacity of fur
naces in blast on May I, according to
the Iron Age was $4,000 tons, far sur
passing all previous high water marks.
Failures for the week numbered 228 in
the United States, against III last year,
and y in Canada, against 10 year ago"

New Wall Coverings.

For the merely pretty bedroom
nothing is more novel than the printed
tlckings, got up in fancy stripes. In
weave and in design they are really
more suggestive of chintz than of any
Of the ordinary tickings. They come
chiefly in stripes, the floral designs al
ternating with plain ribbed effects
similar to the dimity and zephyr dress
goods. Quaint, small flowers mark the
patterns. They are especially suitable
for semiCOlonial effects, and are best
employed when used from wainscoting
up to low-hung moulding with drop
ceiling above. Again, they may be
used in combination with plain-toned
buckram, or with crepe fibre. Papers
exactly initiating these printed tick
ings come at half the price; but these
may be matched in sateen draperies,
so that the entire room may be done
in chintz effects even to the window
nd other hanglngs.-Harpers Bazaar.

OilcIoth as q Floor Covering.

A woman who for years has used the
ordinary table oilcloth to cover her
bathroom and her summer cottage
floors says it is the cheapest and most
satisfactory covering she knows Of.
She lays it with plenty of paper under
meath to give it spring and body. Con-
trary to ones first impression, it wears
remarkably well, and is much easier
wiped off and kept clean than the bare
floors. If one has never investigated
table oilcloths they will be surprised
at the wide range of patterns and col
Ors offered for sale even in country
stores. Two very pretty ones were
noted lately in a desert camp house.
On the little dining room was a small
oak leaf pattern, green on brown
ground, looking, when down, much
like the old-fashioned 'three-ply."
The other was a neat geometric de-
sign in shades Of brown.-Washington
