Vehicles Overturned.

Attention has heretofore been called
to the dangerous condition of the north
side of King street, near Hooh's run.
The roadway is narrow and on top OF a
a high embankment A few Sundays
ago buggy containing a gentleman and
lady was capsized at that place and both
the occupants were thrown down the bank
in front of the gate leading to Mr.. Ben
iamin Baggetfs residence. Yesterday
two more vehicles were overturned at
the same spot. The electric railway

even tomato can. Do you suppose
for moment would sit down OH that
sack of flour and starve? Not quite.

shove lot of>good old spuds under the

is clear for broiling. If not, slice your
bacon, impale it on stout switch and
when your spuds are done break them
open and allow the good old bacon
grease to drop on them as it broils on
the end Of that stick. You want cof-
fee. Rip the jacket off that canteen;
bring the water to.a boil. funnel your
coffee in. and your coffee is ready. But
how about the bread? No pan to mix
the dough in, no article in which to
bake the bread. You don't like ash
cakes? All right. Just mix your bak-
ing powder carefully in the top of the
sack. form the flour into a funnel
shape, pour in very little water at a
time-don't be afraid of getting your
fingers balled up-miX that dough right
there and when it is the desired con-
sistency roll it out like a snake. Cut
cane from any old thing. wrap this

A KIND HUSBAND.
Should He Never. Ladies'. Oppose the
Wishes of His Wife:

Wishes of His Wife:
Is the kind husband Il failure?
That depends. \ husband can scarce
ly show his wife too much kindness.
But sometimes real kindness may be
shown in opposing her wishes. If the
husband has any mind Of his own he
must use it, He need not be mean in
his opposition nor arrogant nor tyran-
nical. He should be reasonable at all
times and disposed to highly regard
the expressed wishes of his wife even
though these wishes may seem to him
to be whimsical or capricious. But
Kindness does not require subservi-
ency or entire and instant surrender
of opinion. Indeed, it is easy to see
how such surrender might lead wife
to despise her husband. He who fetchcs
and carries like poodle is likely to be
considered a poodle.

The Way She Gave James . Lesson
In Table Etiquette.

The Way She Gave James . Lesson
In Table Etiquette.
They were an engaged young couple
and were having quiet dinner while
the band played alluring music. The
girl was sweet and refined looking and
the man big and strong. Her manners
were perfect, but his left much to be
desired as far as etiquette is concern
ed. After they had finished their meal
an interested observer noticed that the
big, wholesome man placed his knife
and fork like the crossbones under the
skull. With blush the girl, whose
own implements were placed correctly
side by side, noticed the break.
James," she said, with quick tact,
looking all around among the tables,
did you ever notice that men and wo-
men eat differently? When man fin
ishes meal he always places his knife
and fork across each other, while
woman invariably places them side by
side. It's funny, but I've often noticed
it."
(Which is correct?" anXiously ques-
toned her fiance while he gingerly
toyed with the objects of comment.
"Why, placing them side by side,
dear, of course" she said. "But, then,
men are so busy that suppose they
have no time for such Details And
then she became interested in the band
leader, while the erring James slyly
adjusted his knife and fork according
to regulations.
"There's woman who is going to
manage her husband without letting
him know it," observed a sweet old la
dy who had overheard ct all de-
ponds upon the way you do it whether
you can get a man to come round."-

FOOD AND WEATHER.
why People Eat More In Winter
Than They Do In Summer.

Why People Eat More In Winter
Than They Do In Summer.
1t has been shown that the consump-
ton of food increases in direct proper
ton. to the decrease in temperature
We cat more in winter than in summer,
and the inhabitants Of the temperate
regions require more food than those
Of the tropic zone.
This is due to several causes. In the
first place air is denser in colder eli
mates and more oxygen is taken in
with each breath, SO that Il greater sup
ply of carbon-derived from foods
necessary in order that the two gases
may combine in their proper proper
tons for the maintenance Of bodily
heat. Again, the inhabitant Of cold
climate usually has to work harder
than, the more fortunate southerner,
whose wants decrease as nature be-
comes more generous. The harder the
daily labor the greater the amount of
food required.
Climate not only affects the quaint
ty but also the quality Of the food con-
sumed. The Eskimo could not live up
on the dainties of nature which load
the tables of the poorest in the tropics,
for the conditions of his existence re-
quire the consumption of an enormous
amount of fatty matter, so that blub-
Der is to him chief necessary Of life.

OBSCURE PASSAGES,

Lines Whose Meaning Was Not Clear
to Their Authors.
A writer in London Truth recalls that
Browning, when asked the meaning of
a passage in "Sordello," replied, "Well,
l know the poem had meaning to me
when wrote it. but what it was
cannot now say" The writer goes on to
quote parallel answers of Coleridge and
of Goethe, which comforted him long
ago, when he first Transcribed them.
Coleridse wrote the greater part Of
book of Southey's "Joan of Arc" and
annotated the long passage begin
ming, Maid beloved Of heaven" thus:
.44A4ese teEe 4-es:y fine lines, though say
it that should not, but hang me if
know, or ever did know, the meaning
of them, though my own composition"
Lord Francis Egerton, when 'translat-
ing Faust" wrote to ask Goethe's ex.
PLANTATION of passage which puzzled
him and received the reply that the
poet himself was at loss for it's
meaning. Surely" runs his answer
to Lord Francis, you at twenty-four
should know better than at seventy
four the meaning of passage I wrote
at your age"

it impossible to believe were true. She
therefore answered, oh, sir, l beg your
pardon, but really do not think that
can be true To her surprise he in

Understanding Poker.

The women believe that every man
knows all about poker, but only few
men do. 1t is true, however, that near
" every man pretends to understand
the game thoroughly. When there is a
poker joke at theater all the men
smile and look at their women folks
with sort of pity, but the fellows who
smile know very little about the game
and are afraid to play it, for in almost
every little social affair connected with
chips and pairs there is a tin horn
gambler industriously engaged in work.
ing chumps. The few men who really
understand poker have a habit of win
ming the money Of the men who pre-
tend to understand it, SO the large ma
jority of men know nothing about the
game further than that good hand is
hard to get.-Atchison Globe.
