1t is not generally known that cof.
fee loses strength and flavor when
exposed to the air. 1t should, there
fore, be kept in closed canister. The
same rule applies to tea, which is apt
to become mouldy.
Spice, pepper, dried herbs and bak-
ing powder must also have the air ex-
cluded from them if they are to be
kept in good condition. Dried fruit
should be stored in stone jars. Ap-
pies and pears, if especially fine,
should be wrapped separately in soft

Be very careful to keep -four, pul.

ting lids are desirable for all these.
In damp weather mix little corn
starch with the salt served on the

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let US hope so for the sake of the cook!
The disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach,
rather than a bad cook, and for 3
weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. It gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure it should be.

The Law Breakers.

Doctor Faber and Henry Oliver
stood in The formers office at the end
of a long, high building on Maple Hill.
Doctor Faber was president of Maple
Hill Institute and an influential man
in the eyes of five hundred boys and
girls. Henry Oliver was state senator
for the twentieth district and an inf1u-
entail man IN Doctor Faber's eyes.
At the end of long gravel path in
front of the Institute, stood pair OF
sleek horses held by smart young
driver. Doctor Faber, hat in hand,
looked anxiously out at the span.
"1'm sure the matter can be salts
factorily adjusted" be said hurriedly.
"Sorry l am obliged to keep this ap-
pointment, but you can see the pre-
ceptress now and l shall be back this
evening. Of course all matters per-
tanning to the young ladies are left in
her hands, yet retain the power of a
veto in all cases" The president
broke off uncomfortably and began
drawing on his gloves. "It is a trif-
ing matter as you say and l am sure
the preceptress-" another uncomfort-
able pause and glance toward the
door. "Well, any way talk the matter
over with her and l shall see you on
my return this evening"
The Doctor abstractedly shook hands
and looked at his watch at the same
time. "I'm sure we can fix up the
matter satisfactorily" he reiterated in
parting. He was torn between bis
duty to stand by his colleagues in the
faculty and his desire to please the
representative of the twentieth district
whose good will toward the Institute
was useful in more ways than one.
Yet, on the whole, the good Doctor
was relieved that it was necessary for
him to shift the responsibility at pres
ent to the shoulders of his preceptress.
Oliver recognized this relief and
smiled sarcastically after the principal
as the latter ran down the walk to his
carriage.
In the room just over the office, two
girls held each other in trembling sus
pense and wept tears of gratitude
"It'il he all right now that Uncle
Henry has come Isn't he a brick

A Eicc Little Task.

An expert mathematician once set
himself the nice little task Of calculat-
ing the number Of different ways in
which fifty-two cards Of pack can be
distributed among four players, thir-
teen to each, taking every possible COM
bination and Formulation.
1t would be no use to present the
answer here In long row Of figures,
for no one can realize to himself what
such a numerical array really conveys,
nor would it be much better to play
with the words billions and trillions,
seeing that these are mere words and
nothing more to most Of us, but the
following illustration IS more likely to
be appreciated by the ordinary reader;
If the entire population Of the earth
were to deal the cards necessarily day
and night for 100000 years, at the
rate Of deal by each person minute,
they would not have exhausted the one
hundred-thousandth part Of the mum,
Der of essentially different ways in
which the cards can be so distributed,

UNIMPROvEn ROAD.

the fall. The road will then be hard
and smooth and the gravel will be
packed down, but not worn out, before
bad weather sets in. 1t depends on
what shape the crown of the road is in
what the condition Of the road will be
for travel through the winter. If the
crown is in good shape it will shed the
water to the side bitches, and If they
are in good shape the road will remain
dry and solid.
"Now, l will tell few ways to spoil
q good road:
"The surest way is to use the road
grader and pile all the mud, sod and
weeds from the sides and bitches into
the center of the road. This makes the
road soft and muddy, and it will be
impossible for the next coat of gravel
to unite with the old roadbed. The re-
suit is the road will be spongy. The
best plan is to scrape it up into piles
and haul it to some gully. Of which all
roads have a few, and dump it there
"The road grader is good road
builder in the hands Of man that
knows how to use it, but otherwise he
will do a great deal Of damage.
Another way to spoil road Is to
make the crown so steep that all the
travel will take the center. The result
is the road is worn out in the center
and no use has been made Of the re,
mainder of the road. The center is cut
up by three gulleys, which hold water
and cause the road to be soft and mud
dy when it would otherwise be in good
shape"

The Very First American Coins.


The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be strictly Ameri-
can" was ordered by the original Viz
ginia company in the year 1912, only
five years after the founding of James
town. These coins were minted 1T
Somers islands, now known as the Ber-
mudas. For a period Of more than a
quarter of a century after this, how
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency. IN 164o
the assembly Of Virginia met and de-
clared that it chad maturely weighed
and considered how advantageous a
auoine (coin) would be to this colony,
and how much better it would be than
a sole dependence upon tobacco and
pelts." After th-J they provided for
the coinage of copper coins OF the de-
nominations Of twopence, threepence,
sixpence and ninepence, but this resO-
luton was never carried into effect.
The first coinage in America proper
was the series of coins "struck" at Bos-
ton under the order Of the general
court of Massachusetts passed May p.
1862, the coins being three, six and
twelve pence denominations, ''in forme
flatt and stamped on one side with the
letters N. E. and on the other the
value of the piece"

DEMANDED EVERYWHERE.
Awakening to the Value
of Good Highways.

Americans Awakening to the Value
of Good Highways.
The awakening of America to the
value of good roads is one of the most
remarkable things of the last decade.
For perhaps twenty five years the voice
of the prophet has been heard here ana
there in the United States, as in Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey and perhaps
elsewhere, but practically these were
the voices of men crying out In the
wilderness.
Foreign travel has brought acquaint'
ance with foreign good roads, and men
have come back determined to do their
utmost to transform the United States
from q land of highways so bad that
language fails to do justice to the sub
ject into highways 80 attractive that
everywhere there is ease of transporta-
ton and of communication and the
icy of living in the country without
feeling absolutely cut off from access
to the city.
Nowhere is this movement for good
roads more remarkable, according to
the Manufacturers Record. than in the
south country. This begins in the re-
gion south of the Potomac with the
projection and construction of interur-
ban trolley lines. The trolley lines,
now amounting to thousands Of miles
in the total, are followed by the deter
mination to make the roads suitable
for travel at all seasons Of the year.
Nothing can be told old soldiers OF
the nature of Virginia roads in winter.
They simply are more famous or infa'
nous, as the case may be, than other
roads because so much more Of history
has been acted over them. But every
where throughout the south, as the
Record shows, there are general aWak-
ening and a universal demand for in
terurban railways and with that like
demand for the highways with the
hard surface-in other words, for the
good road that is always ready Tor
business and is invaluable for every
country that builds it.
