HOUSEHOLD STORES.

The proper storing of food is under
stood by few housekeeperS. Witness
the dry cheese and the damp crackers
not infrequently encountered.
Vegetables, if stored for any length
of time, should be picked over once
every week. Otherwise, decay start
ing in a single potato or carrot, will
contaminate all the others in the same
bin.
1t is not generally known that cof-
fee loses strength and flavor when
exposed to the air. 1t should, there
fore, be kept in a 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
tissue paper and covered with fine,
dry sand.
Glasses of jelly and marmalade
ought to stand in dark place, as light
is apt to work a serious chemical
change. If no other way can be
found, wrap each jar in thick paper.
Cheese should be swatted in tinfoil
or in soft paper. A clean rag dampen-
ed and wrapped about it keeps it
moist.
Be very careful to keep -four, pull
verized sugar, Indian oatmeal and
salt very dry. Tin boxes with close
fitting lids are desirable for all these.
In damp weather mix little corn
starch with the salt served on the
table.
The paper wrappings should be re-
moved from meat as soon as possible,
and it should be placed on dish near
the ice, but not upon it. Close con-
tact with ice renders meat habby and
viscid.
Bread and cake boxes need fire.
quent scaldings and airings, besides
being set out in the sunlight. 1t is a
good plan to wrap bread and biscuits
in clean, dry cloths.
Another good example set by ex-
perienced housekeepers is to have
clean cheesecloth bags into which tc
put the lettuce, spinach and so forth,
which it is desirable to store in the
refrigerator.
Table butter, if wrapped in damp
en- ed pieces of cheesecloth, will keeI
much more sweet and firm than other
wise.

"THE HOLY CITY"

Thirty men, red-eyed and dishevel-
ed, lined up before a judge of the
San Francisco Police Court. It was
the regular morning company of
'drunks and disorderlies. " Some
were old and hardened, others hung
their heads in shame. Just as the
momentary disorder attending the
bringing in of the prisoners quieted
down, strange thing happened. A
strong, clear voice from below began
singing:
last night lay asleeping.
There came dream so fair.
Last night T! 1t had been for them
all a nightmare or a drunken stupor.
The song was such contrast to the
horrible fact that no one could fail of
a sudden shock at the thought the
song suggested.
'I stood in old Jerusalum,
Beside the Temple there"
paused. He made a quiet inquiry.
A former member of a famous opera
company, known all over the country,
was awaiting trial for forgery. 1t
was he who was singing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on, and
every man in the line showed emo
ton. One or two dropped on their
knees one boy at the end of the
line, after a desperate effort at self
control, leaned against the wall, bu-
ried his face against his folded arms,
and sobbed, ooh, mother, mother p
The sobs, cutting to the very heart
the men who heard, and the song,
still yelling its way through the court
room, blended in the hush.
At length one man protested.
Judge" said he, ''have we got to
submit to this? We're to take our
punishment, but this" He, too,
began to sob.
1t was impossible to proceed with
the business of the court, yet the
Judge gave no order to stop the song.
The police sergeant, after an effort to
keep the men in line, stepped back
ana waited With the rest. 1 ne song
moved on to its climax
"Jeresalum! Jerusalum Sing, for the night
Hosanna in the highest Hosanna for ever
more!''
In an ecstasy of melody the last
words rang out, and then there was
silence.
The Judge looked into the faces of
the men before him. There was not
one who was not touched by the song !;
not one in whom some better impulse
was not stirred. He did not call the
cases singly-a kind word of advice,
and he dismissed them all. No man
was fined or sentenced to the work.
house that morning. The song had
done more good than punishment
could possibly have accomplished
Y0uth's C0mbanion.

A GOOD APPLE.

A writer in Country Life in Ame,-
aca, seems to think that the number
of people who love good apple is far
larger than the number who know
good apple when they see it. Here
IS part of what he says about city
folks who eat apples
"Pity the man who does not know
a good apple-and how many do?
One in ten? No, not one in fifty.
1t may be red and snowy and the Ital-
ian may have rubbed it till it shines,
but it may be an apple only in form
and in price. In midwinter there are
always apples in storage in the cities
and in the cellars of farmers. Go
into one of these places. Get the odor
the cool, fresh, fruity smell. Pick
out the highest-priced parcel-even
then the individual apples will prob
ably be cheaper than the apples you
buy on the street-and run your
hands over them as lightly as you
would over the keys of a piano. Hold
one in your hand, clasping your fin
gers over its plump rondure. Note
its size and shape. See the slight
blush on the cheek and the tones of
green that run from top to bottom.
Look in the ends. The stem is in
tact. There are no wormholes, no
ugly blotches, no marks of rude fin
gers. Put it to your nose and inhale
the fragrance. Hold it at the hollow
of your cheek. Now eat it. Feel
the break and crack of its cool, crisp
flesh, the flow of its sprightly juice,
and get the aroma that lies at the
very heart of it. At last you have
eaten an apple !"
CLEOPATRA WAS complaining on
her barge
Ever since my rowers read that
poem of Kipling's they want to run
my business. What would you ad-
vise?" she asked.
"Let them go galleygher," !" re-
sponded Anthony.
Delighted at his powers of diplo-
macy, she coyly asked him to lead the
next german.

Something of the cool contempt il

Something of the cool contempt in
his tone seemed to rob the two of bra
vado, for they followed him meekly
up the aisle.
To Betty the rest of the rehearsal
seemed interminable. She refused to
accept the messages of comfort which
Jacks eyes telegraphed her. She
hated him. He had made her ridic-
ulous, contemplate, in Paul Scharf's
eyes. This was the end of her Len
ten penitence. Of course she must
leave the choir tonight.
And so the astonished Jack went
home alone, while Betty waited to
brave her fate.
Paul Scharf closed the keyboard,
with a sigh. Betty"
Quick as the thought her face smil-
ed up at him. Beneath her aureole
of hair her eyes met his challenging
ly. He could almost feel her warm
naughty, Paul?" she breathed.
All, if he might lean over and kiss
those tempting lips But he drew
himself stifiy erect as he answered
gravely, "You set a very bad exam
pie to the rest of the choir, Miss
Carew."
She flushed an angry red. II will
remove the example by resigning,"
she said proudly.
"That must be as you and Mr..
Dudley decide" There was sting
in the words.
And then Betty put her head down
on the keyboard and cried. Oh,
clever Betty She had played CO.
quetry and defiance in vain. But this
trump card, helplessness-she played
and won.
Was this the relentless judge, the
implacable choir master, who called
her Betty and besought her not to
cry?
''I was a brute to speak to you so,
Betty" he declared remorsefully.
"I've been a fool all along. But
you'll forgive me, dearest?" He
tried to catch a glimpse of her face.
Then Betty smiled up at him
through her tears, the old charming
Betty, but with new humility in her
eyes. II will, J" she said softly, "just
for Lenten penitence."
But when she felt his arms around
her and kisses on her lips Lent was
forgotten and love reigned supreme.

DEFENDANT. - nIS,

The object of this suit is to procure divorce
a vinculo matrimonii by the plaintiff from the
defendant.
The bill states that the parties were married
January 11th, 1894, and the abandonment took
place on the 14th of January, 1901. and that be-
fore and since such abandonment the defend
ant has committed the crime of adultery with
divers lewd women that there are two minor
children born of said marriage; that the plain
tiff is a resident of Baltimore county, State of
Maryland, and the defendant is a nonresident
of the State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon ordered this 28th day of Octo-
ber, 1903. that the plaintiff, by causing copy of
this order to be inserted in some newspaper
published in Baltimore county once in four
successive weeks before the 30th day of Novem-
Der, 1903, give notice to the said absent defend
ant of the object and substance of this bill and
warning him to appear in this Court in person

OUR MISTAKES.

None but the initiated know the
accuracy required in a printing Office.
The average reader who detects
miss-spelled word or letter upside
down feels that his work on earth is
not accomplished until he has called
the attention of the over worked edi-
tor to the glaring defect. He does
not notice the thousands and tens of
thousands of letters that are in place
or the multitude of words correctly
spelled, but his eagle eye is glued on
the one that is out of place. So it is
with our deeds. Man does thou-
sand good deeds and no attention is
paid to them, but if he makes one
mistake it is flashed all over the
world. A life time may be spent III
building up reputation that may be
wrecked in moment. The world is
a harsh critic, exacting to fault.

CONCERNING THE TENANT.

The tenant is a human being.
Treat him as such. Don think that
any sort of house is good enough for
him and his. Repair the house and
make it comfortable desirable place
to live. Keep up the windows and
doors, put on coat of paint-it need
not cost much. Repair the yard
fence and out ut-buildings. A few fruit
trees and small fruits should be set,
for these will do much to attract and
keep a good hand-the cost will be
very small. The labor of such I'M
provements will be done by the man
himself, in leisure hours, if given en-
enlargement and shown that it is for
his benefit. A few little kindnesses
shown him and his family will cost
you nothing. and this class doesn't
forget favors from self-respecting en-
ployers. Then, too, it indicates
better disposition on your part than
"kicks," and is an example due to
your position.
Encourage him to lay up for the
future, help him to make trades to
his advantage, grow crops that will
help him along. This may eventual
ly mean the losing of that man, for it
will help him to own farm of his
own some time, and to be his own
master. For this you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that you have
been instrumental in the making of
that man. Take up another and help
him along. Money is laid up slowly
when the man has to depend entirely
on the wages usually paid farm hands.
Encourage some cropping on shares,
and the feeding of some stock, such as
will not interfere with farm work.
A LITTLE girl, suffering with tooth
ache, was in his chair to have the
tooth removed. She refused to let
him proceed at first, being afraid OF
the pain. ''It won't hurt you, little
one," said the dentist. "There, now,
open your mouth. 1t won't hurt. "
Half a minutes work removed the
tooth, and as the little girl cried soft
1y the dentist said : Didn't / tell
you it wouldn't hurt? What do you
think of me now?" Looking up at
him with her big brown eyes, she re-
