halliday to prepare the articles and
 give them generously and beglad to do it. The "all-day sewing in the church parlor will call out larger attendance if luncheon is served at noon, than an announcement for an afternoon sewing with nothing to eat. In til kinds Of church meetings the matter of ito eat or not to eat' affects the attendance.
 The kindergarten looks forward to the luncheon hour with joy. for the child is hungry; but it is not hunger that makes the well-fed member of adult age crowd to the dining-room door at the afternoon receptin simply to get a little ice-cream and cake. It may be that the guest wishes to reply in the affirmative to the anxious hos- tess when her farewell words to the guests are. Have you been to the din- ing-room?' Is it the desire for ice- cream and cake that makes one look forward with pleasant anticipations to the hour for refreshments? Often the women most anxious to get into the dining-room are the ones that will go home to ice-cream and cake. Is 1t 0 curiosity to know what the hostess will serve and the manner of serving? Nowadays hostesses seek out or invent all sorts of novelties for refreshments. It may be that this is the reason why few resist the temptations of the din- ing-room. The refreshments" are not alone inviting to the one attending the tea, reception, church meeting or lodge, but members of the family and friends will ask, What did she have for re- freshments?" the mere recital of q list of things to eat seeming to have an in- terest for the ones not favored with in- vitations. If woman wishes to estab- fish a reputation for hospitality, let her provide something delicious for her guests; and if the church society wish es to make it's meetings a success let the members in charge provide some thing to eat, for every eeting, even if it be nothing more than coffee and sand wiches, or tea and cake, or if a hot day, some simple ice and a maccaroom. The church kitchen Is a modern necessity
 for the serving of refreshents at meet ings and making money for benevolent purposes by means church luncheons or suppers is to-day one of the most popular methods.-Indianapo News.

REFRESHMENTS WILL BE

There is magic in the announcement, Refreshments will be served" It is the bait that brings the unwilling hus- band to the church social, the small boy to the picnic, the lodge member to the meeting. It is the day when the literary club attracts the largest atten- dance if there is in the club programme tea at four o'clock, "a social hour" ;" or some other sentence that means that there will be something to eat. The in most readily accepted is the one to dine or to take luncheon. The church affair with refreshments is the one that brings the members out. Mis- sionary meeting with luncheon will be served in the church parlors at the noon hour will have a larger attend ance than the one that leaves the members to satisfy their inner cravings in their own way from noon till two o'clock Church, club and lodge mem- bers will give their delicious cakes, their toothsome pies, their crisp cook ies, their wholesome bread, their sour
 sweet pickles and all sorts of goodies; they will buy materials and labor a

JEFFERSoNIAN CANAL THEORIES.


 Thomas Jefferson was an observer and thinker as well as ? Democrat. canal written by Thomas Jefferson have been published. The letter was addressed to M. de Roy, of Paris, and had special reference to certain Span ish surveys of the Isttmus. Mrs. Jeffer- son believed that the construction of the canal could be facilitated by the use of the ocean current. It would be necessary to open only a small cut, he thought, and the tropical current would rush through with sufficient force to enlarge the channel for ship canal. It was thought at one time that there is considerable difference in the sea level of thc two sides. but we believe that theory has been proved incorrect. It has also been urged by some that the tide will flow through the canal with terrific force. But that theory has also been discarded. The tide does not rise suddenly, but gradually, and the ebb would probably begin, say, on the Pa cific side before the flood could reach the Atlantic side. MT. Jefferson also believed that the opening of the canal would cause the disappearance of the Gulf stream on the coast of the United States. In MT. Jefferson's day the sur yey of the ocean currents had not bsen made, and he was unacduainted with the vast volume of water in that "river in the ocean"
 MT. Jefferson declared in his letter that when the canal is dug "the fogs on the banks of Newfoundland, sup posed to be the vapors on the Gulf stream rendered turbid by cold air, would disappear" But the theory now is that the fogs which embarrass navi- gation are not occasioned by the Gulf stream. MT Jefferson was we'll in- formed as to the science of his time. But many things have been discovered in the eighty years since he died.

The SimnIc Life,

I ask not wealth or high estate; The burden of too large hoard, The constant strain of being great Would only make me bored. More houses than man can use Were almost worse than none at all; And quite the last that I should choose Would be a gilded hall. Besides, I'd rather not have land, Enough that I might settle down In a small cot in Surrey and
 A little fiat in town. A few nice rooms-iust here book And there d picture-deCent wine, Good carpets and a skilled cook, And l should not reptne. My tiny coachhouse might contain For night brougham, for day cart; I should not mind their being plain AS long as they were smart. (The hovel lon rising plat"
 Bosomed in trees, but not too dark I like a bracing air. The fiat
 Should overlook the Dark.) Of horses, both to ride and drive, Three at the utmost ought to do; And al a pinch one might contrive To get along with two would not have their mouths too
 light;
 If may use lanyard" term Although my seat is far from tight, My hands are very firm. ' would not have ny hut too far From my more central pieda-terre For me to use any motor car,
 And save the railway fare) A little sport at times--a change, Say, tWice<a year. to novel scenes, There l should like within the range Of my extguous means. With cheap amusements such as these My life would be quiet song, It would not be life of ease,
 But one should rub along. I only ask what may suffice
 For simple fare and low degree; As long as l can have things nice, It's good enough for me.

4 PRETTY coon DAT.

It is pleasant to record that in New Haven the Third and Fourth were much more quiet and safe than they have been. The rules made for the celebra- tion were well enforced. Everybody was contented, except perhaps the sell CTS of fireworks who were unfortunate ly caught with things they couldn't sell. And even they doubtless recognized that they were nobly suffering for the common good.
 In many other places there was the same improvement in the celebration that there was in New Haven, and now that the good work is well started it will not be suffered to stop. We call ourselves progressive in this country, but we have been decidedly conserva- tive about preventing fires, wounds and death on the Fourth of July Hereaf- CT there will be progress in that direc- tion until the Fourth may become as innocuous as the first of April. So let it be, and that soon. There have been enough dangerous and deadly Fourths.

CAY WOMEN COOKS BE FoRG OrrENe

CAN WOMEN COOKS BE FORG OFTEN"
 You can read almost anything nowa- days. For instance, "the day is not far off when women cooks will be only disagreeable memory" remarked Dr. Robert E. Thompson, of Philadelphia, in the course of a recent address, and the statement has created not little dissension in the City Of Brotherly Love, particularly among the women. Continuing, pr. Thompson laid the blame for the national dyspepsia at the feet of the women cooks of the country.
 The only way to get rid of dyspepsia, he told his hearers, was to get rid of the woman cook. "Women have no natural gift for cooking said this crit ic. "They have been forced by the men to engage in the culinary pursuit just as if it were as simple as washing
 handkerchief or blanket. They cook what we like instead of what is good for us, and their lack of knowledge of our requirements makes them directly responsible for the sufferings thousands
 endure because of dyspepsia and other ills traceable to bad cooking" Ill fur therance of his argument Dr. Thompson asks what woman ever cooked at the White House, and which of the big ho-
 tels would dream of giving the position of chef to woman. Such work, he added, was essentially within the field
 properly filled by men, and the fact
 would be recognized more and more as the years pass.
 Dr. Thompson shouldn't be too sure. If woman takes a notion to cook well
 she will do it, and neither he nor any
 body else can stop her.

Charles M. Crandall, who invented the pigs in clover' puzzle nearly twenty years ago, is dead at Waverly, New York. He invented several other toys, but the one named was his great est success. This puzzle became popu- lar all over the country. It was taken up by everybody, even invading the senate chamber at Washington. Sen ator Evarts became so fascinated with it that he took the elusive ''pigs" and @pan' to the session one morning and soon had half a dozen senators trying their skill in a committee room. It was probably the greatest selling puzzle ever produced. Crandall made for tune in the business, but died compara- lively poor.

GAVE MONEY TO STRANGER.
Now HaIvar MeIve Surprised That He
Is Out $40.

Halvar Melve. a Swede, was "him-
TANNED" out of s19 last night by a
stranger with whom he had taken a
few drinks during the day.
Melve did not learn the name of his
friend. but told his story to the police.
The "friend" walked with him to the
corner of Fifth street, and there hand
ed him an envelope. which he said
contained a $100 bill. He told Melve
to take it to the Fifth Avenue hotel
and get it changed. When the Swede
started on the errand the man called
him back and asked him if he had any
money. He answered that he had
$40. Give it to me, said the
friend" II might need some cash
before you get back"
Meive handed over his $40 and went
to the hotel. where he opened the
envelope and found a 81 bill. In the
meantime the stranger was industri-
ously getting out of town.

MUCH DIPTHERlA.
Topeka Shows the Largest Number Of
Deaths.

During October there were 1854 new
cases of diphtheria reported in the
state, and Al deaths from the disease.
This is an increase of lao over the num-
Der of new cases reported in September.
and an increase of 30 in the number of
deaths.
Diphtheria is prevalent in SO coundes
of the state. Leavenworth city ana
county have the largest number of
cases, though in proportion to popula-
ton. the disease seems to be more pre-
valent in Nemaha and Elk counties.
Topewa has had the highest mortality,
A cases and five deaths.
The report shows that typhoid fever
is on the decrease. The number of new
cases of typhoid in September was 294,
with 81 deaths, as against 22S cases and
30 edaths in October. Typhoid is there
fore more fatal than diphtheria in its
results and this is doubtless due to the
discovery of the anti-toxin treatment
for diphtheria.
The number of cases of scarlet fever
has increased from 106 in September to
141 in October, but there were no deaths
from the disease in either month.
In Septmeber there were 81 cases of
tuberculosis and g. deaths reported; in
October the number had fallen to IS
cases and Al deaths.
Smallpox registered Sc new cases and
one death in September; in October it
fell to "a new cases and one death.
Only PC cases of measles were report
ed for the whole state during the month
Of october.

washington, Nov. 24.-Pension Ex-
aminer Whitehead of New Orleans, La,
has advised Commissioner Warner of
the death of the notorious pension forg-
err. Joseph r. Dupart. Dupart.is said to
have been one of the most celebrated
and persistent violators of the pension
laws, having obtained probably 100000
in the course of his work.
Commissioner Warner says he has
testimony showing that this man had
forged thousands of signatures TO decla-
rati0ns, afHdavits and vouchers. His
period OF depredations has covered sew
eral years. At the TIME OF his death
he was awaiting trial for fofgeries al
legged to have been committed at New
orleans.
Dupart, the records of the pension Of
fee show had figured in 162 claims. In
these, one claim alone shows evidence of
215 fOrgeries and 129 false afidavits.
Dupart had tWenty-three regular sigma
lures, the most notorious Of which is
that of John c. Seldom The largest
amount he is known to have obtained in

FORAKER S PLAN.
He Presents a Rate Bill to the ElIxins
Committee.

Washington, Nov. 24.-senator For
aker Of Ohio, today presented to the
senate committee on Interstate COM
merce a copy of the bill drafted by
him to amend the interstate commerce
law and devoted about two hours to a
discussion of its provisions. After the
committee adjourned Senator Foraker
made public his bill and also gave out
a statement embodying his views of
the measure.
In the statement he says that 'the
results desired by the president should
be accomplished" adding that this
should be done, if possible, without
comforting the rate making power on
the interstate commerce commission
or any other governm entail agency.
Senator Foraker said that it is the
aim of his bill to secure the protection
Of shippers and the rights of the peo-
pie without involving the whole ques-
ton in constitutional objections which
would be raised in case the rate max
ing power was placed upon any com
mission.
