Orange or wine jelly is preferable
to a heavy dessert on a warm day.
Mint sauce may now be bought in
bottles just as catsup or pickles are
put up.
Brown paper moistened in vinegar
will polish your tins until they shine
like silver.
Rub a drop of olive oil on your
knives and forks before putting away,
and they will retain their brightness
and be free from rust
White cheesecloth and seersucker
are recommended for kitchen aprons,
as these materials are easily washed
and require no ironing.
In these warm days, when gas, oil
ana gasoline stoves are so much used,
a gallon bottle of ammonia should be
always on hand as a safeguard against
fire. Flames yield readily to show
er of ammonia.

When Cy Warman, the poet Of the
rail," was travelling through Bonanza
Valley, near Dawson City, a short time
after the discovery of gold in the
Klondike, he passed a young man with
a heavy pack Of papers on his back
Some men were working their claims
near by, up on the slopes of the hills
Now and then said Cy Warman
"the young fellow stopped, put his
hand to the side Of his mouth, and
shouted up to the men N'Yor-rk n
S'attle papers, in orthodox newsboy
style.
Il asked him how he sold them.
Fifty cents for Seattle an a dollar for
New York be replied. He had two
hundred papers. and expected 70 clear
hundred dollars on the trip. which
would take him three days"

Neapolitan violet and the popular
champagne shade, which look so
pretty trimmed with lace, and, in ad-
dition, there are some rose pinks,
pale turquoise blue, while fresh
shade of mauve will be specially ap-

silver-gray is suitable for slight
mourning. The fashionable brown,

ed, and there are two good shades OF
royal blue and a rich poppy red. The

Statistics of Value Furnished by thc
Bureau of Education


The United States bureau of educa-
ton estimates that of the 1874 403
men over 80 years of age in this
country, 1,757,023 are without educa-
ton, l2054,335 have had only a COM
mon school education or it's equivs
lent, 657 432 have received a high
school training in addition and 1926 ,613
have had college training
The brief biographies Of over 10000
men commonly considered successful
collected by Who's Who" afford an op-
portunity for comparison. OF the men
mentioned in Who's Who" not one
enrolled himself in the first class-the
1,757023 without education. From the
second class came 1853, or one for
every SSH and of these twenty-four
reported themselves as selftaught, 27S
as privately taught. From class three
came 1927, or one for every 404. and
from class four. 1909, one for every
forty-two.
The conclusions drawn by the com.
pliers of the statistics are that the
boy Of no education has hardly a
chance Of honorable distinction; that
the lad with a common school educa
ton has one chance in 5000 the high
school course increases the lad s
chances twenty-five times and a col
.lege education gives the young man
ten times the chance of high school
boy and 200 times the chance Of boy
whose training stops with the com.

There isn't any reason for the Covers

To wither at the MONDAY or be crushed
beneath our feet.
There isn't any reason for the sky to
be so blue
Nor for the sunbeams to be dancing
where the leaves their shadows strew
The bee is making melody In cadence
long and low,
The birds are lightly singing as they
hurry to and fro;
And JOY is set to meter in the lazy sum-
Iner time
There isn't any reason: there Is nothing

The river as it rippIes on its Journey to

Makes music that we cannot sing; yet

The rustic of the tree tops as the zephyrs
wander by
Awake the woods to answer with a long
melodious sigh.
And when the stars are cleaning and

A thousand minstrel voices softly echo
through the night.
And no one understands the spell that's
cast throughout the CLINE.
There isn't any reason. there Is nothing

DO YOU UNDERSTAND

For fear the candidates who are
offering for office, and who may
hereafter do so, have not fully un
derstood us. we want to repeal
what we said last week: We viii
not support any man for the Dem
ocratic nomination who is giver
to whiskey drinking and drunk
enness. Montgomery county pays
salaries sufficiently large to secure
the services OF our best men and
such the honest Democracy de-
mand from the party. a drunk
ard, totally or partially, is unified
for his own business much less the
county's, and hence only the very
best men need expect either our
votes or influence.
