AND YOU HAVEN'T ONCE SAID I LOVE

Her liveliness of speech and manner,
trife defiant, masked a hurt pride. She
won followers easily among the men
too easily to suit her high spirit They
gave her fattery in plenty, which com
forted her as little as gold offered to
starving woman She was all heart
and had almost no vanity. When her
father died she was hungry for some
one to lavish her affections upon. Yet
no one had OWNED this. The impress
sion had gone about that she would
marry anybody for money She hated
poverty, but she hated a lie still worse.
When they entered the house she took
off her hat and stood moment beside

s'If you were one of these unvarying
men how would you propose to a girl"
asked the young man gravely. Miss
Breen promptly sat down After she
had rested and meditated for half a
minute, she answered:
1T would depend on the girl That's
the very point Instead Of having a
formula, such as you men hand down
from father to son, should study the
nature Of the woman and find words
to appeal to her and to her alone. If
she loved flowers, I'd spend my last

DOMESTIC Is
what Modern Mechanical Genius Has
Done to Make HonsesyorIx Easier.

What Modern Mccisa saicaf Genius Has
Done to Make HonseworIS Easier.
No doubt housekeeping is the one de-
partment of human labor that is still
far behind the times. yet even here
modern invention has devised conven-
fences and labor saving appliances that
make it easier than it used to be. So
many are these indeed that by their
aid refined women find a real pleasure
in doing housework.
Among the newer of the aids to the
practical housekeeper is the bread
kneading machine. 1t saves the arm
and shoulder strength usually required
to work dough to the proper evenly
mixed state, and it does the work far
more rapidly than can be accomplished
"by hand"
Labor saving is, however, not the
chief merit of the bread kneading ma
chine. 1t is that it does away entirely
with the necessity of putting the hands
into bread dough That even at its
best, Is not agreeable to contemplate.
Eating the breadmakers aura is some

A treasure in the household is the
pretty little sewing table with folding
legs Along its side are the inches and
divisions which mark measuring
tape. so that here we have the yard
stick painted at the edge of the table.
This useful little article is not new,
but there are thousands of households
that are without it, although it is very
inexpensive. | know some bachelor
girls living in fiat who put the sew
ing table to variety of uses When
friends call and play bridge it serves
as a card table When the bachelor
maids wish to proffer tea and cake to
their friends it constitutes a dining ta-

The girl waved her hand lightly toward
file of militia that paraded down
Fifth avenue. Her companion did not
answer Immediately.
You must reduce your complaint to

young lawyer at length What, for

Of all, persist in expressing admiration

You must find it monotonous."
Don't be personal, Mr.. Roscommon, .
protested his companion, with blush.
Il am discussing fact and that is al
ways personal" replied the man. ssIt
is true, isn't it?' Roscommon had a
quiet habit Of persistence. He did not
talk much, but what he did say was
apt to start his companion into fran
tic garrulity of self defense
What do you mean?" asked the girl.
You certainly would not accuse me
of Dragging about the number Of my
admirers. l was only speaking in a

Roscommon was silent, and the girl
went on:

They turned as they walked into
Fifty-seventh street, where Miss Breen
had lived with her aunt since her ia

with rather gay set, but few months
after she came out her father had lost
most of his money. For the last three
years that he lived he insisted on her
accepting many invitations, although

Carpet Sweepers and Other Con-
veniences.

Once, wandering over the earth, tar
rying awhile in the isle of Jersey,
English channel. an American woman
came suddenly on Yankee carpet
sweeper. Heaven knows how it had
strayed across the ocean to that spot,
where the farm women still cook be-
side huge fireplaces with swinging
cranes! Yet there it was. a genuine
message from home to the American
woman 1t told her anew of the land
where inventors have done more to
make housekeeping easy than in any
other country in the world.
The carpet sweeper is invaluable in
house, yet millions of women even in
the United States still daily ply the old
dust raising, arm firing, rug demolish-
ing broom 1t is so easy to cleanse a
floor with the carpet sweeper! No dust
Is raised She who wields the imple-
ment passes it back and forth smooth

The terrible lint and fluff that so an
noy the neat housekeeper are caught
and held in the covered brushes Of the
machine to be taken out in a mass
after the sweeping is done. Corners
need to be brushed with a whisk
broom, and the sweeper does the rest.
One of the mysteries of the feminine
world is that women viii persist in go
ing down upon all fours to scrub the
floor wearing the skin off their knees
and running their clothing, when there
is no need of 1t at all The long han
died mop is now so well made and SO
easily adjusted when fresh scrubbing
cloth or bunch of cotton yarn is needed
that no housekeeper who has regard
for convenience will be without one.

sticky substances, perforated spoons

THE nutmeg tree begins to bear at
the age Of ten years" said gardener.
1T keeps on bearing until it Is ninety.
The fruit resembles an apricot, and
when the fruit Is ripe 1t bursts open,
showing at its heart the black nutmeg
inclosed In d network Of scarlet
The nutmeg, after plucking, must be
dried. 1t is dried over slow fire, and
the process is tedious It often occu-
pies two months.
Before shipping the nutmegs are al
ways STEPPED In sea water and lime.
This is to protect them from insects.
They have nothing but insects to fear.
In an insect proof condition they keep
well, they keep practically forever. -

Doors and Window Screens.

The wire screen which allows doors
and windows to be open. letting in air
and sunlight, at the same time keeping
out all winged as well as crawling
pests. is happily now coming into gen
eral use. It is surprising, though,
that here and there the houses of even
well to do persons are without such
screens. In some Of the mosquito
haunted districts of our country life
would be unendurable without them.
Even the stables have to be provided
Gloucester County Democrat., 1905-07-06

with the screens. Sometimes a whole
veranda is inclosed in the protecting
wire cloth, behind which family may
sit at their ease and be happy without
having either to slap or to fan away
flies and mosquitoes.

sMELTERs TO RUN.

Deadwood people are feeling good
over the ~uouncement made bv
Harris Franklin, general manager Of
the Golden Reward company that the
smelter will start again by spring.
He has just returned from the east
where he consulted with the directors
OF the:company. 1t will require three
or four months work at the mines at
Terry to get them unwatered so that
ore can be shipped to the smelter.
Several miles of underground work
ings are now filled with water. Only
the upper ore contracts are producing
for the company's cyanide plant.
1t will mean work for 400 men at
least, 100 of them being employed in
the smelter here.
