I'M. nrnn In making.

If you would be very particular about
little things. giving the closest atten-
ton to details when baking. you would
be much more certain Of success. The
temperature Of the oven. for instance,
is very essential. Women often won
der why, when they use the same rec
ipe, their pastry is so inferior to that
turned out by other cooks-why their
own is not always the same. Some
times bread crust will be hard and
tough, and again made in the same
way it will be softer and more tender.
The temperature Of the oven has much
to do with this. For bread the oven
should be quite hot for the first five
minutes, then cooled very gradually,
and the last thirty minutes 1t should
be much cooler than at first For layer
cakes or cookies the oven should be
very hot throughout the process Of bak-
ing while for loaf cake it should be the
opposite.

Fineness is not a safe guide either
for durability or lasting beauty Of Ia
bic linen. Weight is the standard Of
price. and 1t is not advisable to buy ta-
BILE linen that weighs less than four
and half ounces per square yard.
The comparative merits Of bleached
and unbleached napery depend upon
the use to which it is to be put. For
common or rough use it is often well to
buy the unbleached and also in the
country or suburbs. where one can
bleach it on the grass or out in the sun.
Never buy a mixture OF cotton and
linen and beware of damask that is
stim and cracky, for 1t has probably
been starched to make 1t appear Of bet.
ter quality than It really is. Good linen
has an elastic texture. Some Of the
finer French damasks appear exquisite
but they do not pass the soap and wa.
ter test creditably. Considering all
points. Irish linen is far superior tC
any other.

the poet of the Yazoo, up there with

The other day Williams went over to
Sibley's desk and said, "Joe, do you

Indeed do" replied Sibley. "WhyT
swell, I'm writing beautiful poem

"The reins. the reins! Quick, Essier'
Ormsby cried.
Thank God, she knew what he meant
and seized the lines before they slipped
over the dashboard TO dangle about
Sultans heels and drive him mad with
terror. But the horse knew instantly
that an unfamiliar hand held the reins.
and he increased his trot to gallop.
Esther told herself that she would
not be frightened, and she drew the
lines in firmly and said 'Whoaw
But Sultan saw no reason for whoa
ing" just then. There was long
stretch Of dusty, sunlit road before
him, and he seized the bit in his strong
teeth and bolted. He flew by Halo
wells mount with a rush and set that
creature to dancing. Hallowell hung
on to the leather and stared with round
eyes after the runaway.
His establishment was vastly increas-
ed when a second whirlwind reached
him. Ormsby went at him as though
he was playing football.
He snatched the bride from Halo
wells hand, and that young man was
sent rolling in the dust as Jack leaped
astride and set the now frightened ami

The road for a mile was clear, but

Ormsby knew the runaway would
burst into tangle Of carriages of all
descriptions. and the end would be Sc
rious. He didn't know much about
the soundness Of Hallowell's mount,
but he would have made an asthmatic
old car horse do stunts just then.
Like the wind he rode, and his
mounts nose soon came up to Esther's
shoulder. Foot by foot he gained on
Sultan, and then, with swift dive.
Ormsby seized the reins, which Esther
had continued to cling to with all her
little might. A strong pull on both
horses, and Sultan instantly recognized
the fact that all his fun was over.
He slowed down and in half block,
and just before the junction with the

Hot Baths.

A German physician advocates in a
German paper the frequent taking OF
hot baths. These. he urges, are much
more healthful than the Geld plunge.
which he thinks few systems can stand.
| The water should be ut temperature
| in the beginning of 10S degrees f.. this
to be increased until the water is as
hot as can be borne. The length of the
| first bath should not be more than five
! minutes, and at no time should it be
longer than is agreeable with no sense
Of discomfort apparent.
The writer cites in support of his
theory the practice common in Japan
among all classes OF its people of taking
these hot baths. The porter walking
along with his load and fatigued to the
point of exhaustion, drops it for ten
minutes while he takes a hot bath at
some public bathhouse. He energies re.
freshed and strengthened and goes on
his way rejoicing.
The writer considers that there is no
| danger of taking cold after a hot bath
| and does not even advocate the use OF
| cold shower to follow the bath. Hot
water is known to be an excellent cos
| metic for the face, and it is only fair
to assume that its revival of skin tissue
is not confined to that part of the body.

What splendid type of tireless actiy-
ity is the sun as the psalmist describes
it issuing like "a bridegroom from his
chamber and rejoicing like strong
man to run race" Every man ought
to rise in the morning refreshed by
slumber and renewed by rest, eager for
the struggle of the day. But how rarely
this is so. Most people rise still unre-
freshed, and dreading the strain of the
days labors. The cause of this is de-
ficient vitality and behind this lies a
deficient supply of pure, rich blood and
an inadequate nourishment of the body.
There is nothing that will give a man
strength and energy, as will DR.. Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does this
by increasing the quantity and quality
of the blood supply. This nourishes
the nerves, feeds the brain, builds up
enfeebled organs and gives that sense
of strength and power which makes
the struggle of life joy. The good
feeling" which follows the use OF
Golden Medical Discovery" is not due
to stimulation as it contains no alcohol,
whisky or other intoxicant. 1t does
not brace up the body, but builds 1t up
into condition of sound health

VALUE OF HIGH WAGES.
what an Increase of Five Dollars a
Year Would DO For Great Britain.


The learned author Of "An Inquiry
Into the Nature and Causes of the
Wealth of Nations" through over 800
words in book 2, chapter o, explains
that the capital employed M the for
oign trade of the country will give but
one-half the encouragement to the pro-
ductive industries of that country that
the home trade does. He returns to the
subject in chapter Z, book 4, saying:
THE most advantageous employment
of any capital to the country to which
1t belongs is that which maintains
there the greatest quantity of produc-
annual produce of the land and labor
of that country"
Lord Rector Carnegie in presenting
the same thought TO his audience of St
Andrews says:
THE relative Importance of the two
markets Is often lost sight Of. The
home market OF America takes 90 per
cent Of all manufactured articles, only
4 per cent going to foreign markets.
Even Britain's home market takes
four-flfths OF her manufactures, only
one-fifth going abroad. Politicians give
far too much attention to distant for
eign markets. which can never amount
to much, and far too little to measures
for improving conditions at home
which would increase the infinitely
more important home market If the
people of the United Kingdom could
spend even n pound per head more per
year, her home commerce would be in
creased more than the total value Of
her exports to all of Australasia, Brit
ish North America and China COM
bined. Truly foreign commerce is n
braggart always in evidence, home
commerce the true king"
In addition to the superior illustra
tiveness and compactness of DR.. Car
negie's statement it contains valuable
truth we found in DR.. Smiths work.
IF the people Of the United Kingdom
could spend even pound per head
more per year, her home commerce
would be increased" etc. The English
conviction. which finds expression in
all English literature, speeches and SER
mons, is made part of English primary
instruction and must be professed be-
fore graduation from English universe
ties, that profit is made by depressing
the wages of productive labor has prob
ably done more to injure England than
her adoption Of Cobdenism as nation

chanlcs were paid the same wages that
are paid in this country, we would nei-
Their hear "the bitter cry of the London
poor" nor read of the long continued
