To teach child with success re-

ever, three other important points that

First Of all she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction-not
20 find fault with ignorance, with lack
Of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the in
flexible rule that requires teacher to
prepare every lesson carefully before
giving it, in order to present it in an
interesting and ineligible way. Third,
there is the ever present danger of
OVERRIDING, against which the teacher
must always be on guard.

Lansing, Mich. June 10.-President
Fuller was taken into camp in real
burnt-cork minstrel style Wednesday
afternoon. Senator Glasgow, looking
fiercer than he did last Friday, when
handling out solar plexus blows to the
machine, moved that the Colby-Powell
Stone primary election bill be taken
from the table. This bill was suppos
ed to have passed out of existence
when the Baird substitute was agreed
to in the senate. Fuller didn't know
what the status of the bill was. He
finally ruled that, as the Baird bill had
been substituted for the Colby bill, the
Colby bill could not be reported out.
Then followed comments and mo.
tions from various sources until Sena
tor Fuller got so angry that he inter.
ruptcd a democrat to deny that his rul.
ings had ever been prompted by per-
sonal prejudice. Kelly began an Irish
nationalist defense of Fuller, who was
burning up by this time, when the
Muskegon senator suddenly began to
eulogize the presiding officer, and a
large cut-glass punch bowl and a gold.
headed cane daintily inscribed ap.
peared on table in the middle of the
senate chamber.
Fuller was all at sea for a moment
but finally came out Of the trance and
thanked his colleagues in aectionate
terms for the remembrance.
The appropriations of this legisla.
ture to date, including the general bud.
get, amount to S7,171, 406.02. The bin.

stake good lump of fresh butter
and roll it in -four, place it in lined
saucepan with half pint of good, rich
cream, stir it gently over q low fire, al
ways the same way, till it begins to
simmer"
This recipe for the making of melted
butter is quoted from an old fashioned
cookery book of century ago, but the
direction to stir always the same
way" is observed as religiously today
as it was then, and probably will be for
q thousand years to come.
All cooks of all nations stir not only
the same way, but also from east to
west, sure indication that the prac-
tice originated with sun worshipers.
Speaking of stirring brings to mind
that in most English households-coun
try ones at least-the practice of the
whole family joining to stir the Christ
mas plum pudding is still in vogue.
There are many peculiar, old fash
Toned superstitions connected with
cooking.
For instance, in Scotland. when oat-
cakes are being baked, it is still GUS
tomary to break off q little piece and
throw it into the fire.
At one time, whenever q baking was
made-which was perhaps once a
month only-a cake was made with
nine knobs on it. Each of the company
broke one off, and, throwing it behind
him, said "This give to thee; preserve
thou my sheep" mentioning the name
of a noxious animal-foX, wolf or eagle.
A roast pheasant Is usually sent up
with the tail feathers. This practice is
a memorial of the days when pea
cock was skinned before roasting and
when cooked was sewed into its plum
age again, its beak gilded and so served.
Tossing the pancake is another inter-
esting food superstition. Formerly the
master of the house was always called
upon to toss the Shrove Tuesday pan
cake. Usually he did it so clumsily
that the contents Of the pan found their
way to the floor, when a fine was de-
manded by the cook. The custom is
still kept up at Westminster school,
where pancake is tossed over the bar
and scrambled for The one who Sc
cures it is rewarded with guinea.
The origin of the cross on hot cross
buns is a matter of dispute. There is
little doubt that cakes partly divided
into four quarters were made long be-
fore the Christian era. At one time it
was believed that bread baked on Good
Friday would never grow moldy, and
a piece Of it grated was kept in every
house, being supposed to be a sover-
eign remedy for almost any kind of
ailment to which man is subject.
In many parts of England it is con-
sidered unlucky to offer q mince pie to
q guest. 1t must be asked for.-Boston

Good Taste In Dressing.

1t isn't always the woman in the
most expensive gown who looks the
most beautiful. Women Of good taste
show their artistic sense in everything
that is around them-their clothes,
books, pictures, music and little "trip
peries Of the house.
1t is we'll to have high ideals in all
things and to climb as close to them as
you can without going bankrupt. One
good, well tailored gown is worth for
ty ordinary and frumpy ones.
Most women who have money at all
have too many gowns, and these are
usually fussy ones without particular
individuality. 1t is the same way with
jewels. One fine brooch that looks like
no other brooch in the world is vastly
better than ton Of tin rubbish.

The poets exclamation: 80 Lifel /
feel thee bounding in my veins" is a
joyous one Persons that can rarely or
never make it, in honesty to themselves,
are among the most unfortunate. They
do not live but exist; for to live implies
more than to be. To live is to be well
and strong-to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day, and to re-
tire not overcome by them-to feel life
bounding in the veins. A medicine
that has made thousands of people, men
and women, well and strong, has ac-
complished great work bestowing the
richest blessing, and that medicine is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The weak, run
down or debiliated. from any cause,

A Box of Old Coins Une arthed.

A box of coins supposed to have been
buried by the Tories during the revolu-
tionary period was recently unearthed
by laborers working on one of the eastern
railroads. but as the coins were about
two centuries old they would probably
have no more value today than many of
the remedies compounded for stomach,
liver and bowel disorder. 1t is there
fore necessary if you want to recover
your health, to be careful in the selec-
ton of medicine that will restore the
appititee, purify the blood, and cure
headache, indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation or liver and kidney troubles
You will make no mistake if you try
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters because it
will positively cure these diseases.
Hundreds of peop have voluntarily
testified to this fact during the past fifty
