The woman looked up nj him in a

emily she said:

HousEwoRk DONE BY SYSTEM
Once More Is Shown the Superiority
of Mans Mind

VI wan > hliUOs
There is no doubt great deal OF
truth in all the wise saws one might
quote about human nature being the
same the world over, but still there Is
a difference. Who could imagine q
Spanish Enoch Arden. or even q
Frenchman or an Italian playing sc
self-sacrifcing a part? There is an
Italian laborer in little town in New
Jersey in whose family affairs the
neighbors are somewhat interested
who does not let the idea of self-sacri
fce enter largely into his principles
or life. Life his gone rather badly
with him, 10 be sure. Two years age
his wife ran away and left him with
family of little children to take care
o. He has done this as well as pos
sible under the circumstances, and
conducted his housekeeping in thor
cughly masculine way which is worth
considering. During the week he is
at work good distance from his
home. and, except what he can dc
for them mornings and evenings, the
children look out for themselves dur
ing the day. On Saturday he does
his marketing. laying in stock OF
provisions large enough to last
through the week. On Sunday, with o
number of friends as assistants, he
cooks. He has built something in the
nature of an old fashioned brick oven
In which he can do a large amount OF
cooking at one time, and there he
bakes innumerable loaves of black
bread and other things which will
keep until the next cooking day. Only
man would think of doing his house
work in this simple and systematic
way. and 1t IS great success. How
ever, Tony has found a long continu
ance of even weekly housework tire
some. and he is about to bring to his
home another helpmeet.
But supposing your other wife
should come homer" asked an over
curious neighbor one day.
Evidently Tony had not thought Of
anything so unpleasant He consid
cred the matter for a moment after il
had been presented to him. Taen he
replied calmly:

How to Inha!e.

During the winter months throat and
chest troubles are abundant. and the
victim is more often than not ordered
to inhale. says the Public Ledger.
Inhalers are expensive things 10 buy,
and so the ordinary substitute is Il jug
filled with fairly hot water. Over this
the patient sits. head enveloped in a
towel. gasping and choking. getting n
mouthful of steam. and then raising
the head in order to exhale. taking in
during the process several mouthfuls
of air. This method does more harm
than good. causes violent coughing fits,
which irritate the throat and chest.
and makes the patient more susceptible
TO cold. If. therefore. instead of using
the jug. a common bedroom hot water
can is taken. well warmed, and care
fully filled one-third full with boilin.

can the least little bit, and. pla cling
the mouth to the spout. the steam es-
capes as It is brcathed out through the

1t is most Important not to fill the
