DON'T Mix Milk,

Never mix two bottles of milk which
nave been served to you OF different
days. A better plan, and one which
is truly economical, is to turn the our
milk into a bowl and set it aside in a
warm room or on the plate-warming
shelf over the range until it becomes
''clabber."
Then take a square Of cheesecloth
or a pudding bag and turn the clab-
Der into it to drain. The best way is
to suspend it over a bowl. Put in a
little salt before turning it into the
bag. 1t must be left for several hours
to drain. Then take down and add a
small lump Of butter, which may be
worked into it. Add more salt if liked
and make into pats" of cheese.
This requires very little trouble, and
is really delicious.
Cheese is almost as difficult to keep
properly moist as are ~cigars-and it is
quite as important that it should not
become dry. Damp atmosphere will
cause cheese to mildew or Sweat"
most refrigerators do not seem to have
dry enough air to prevent these mis-
fortunes from occurring.-Indianapolis

Curtains and Draperlcs.

Cant. Skinner's Goosa.

Captain Skinner was in Easton the
latter pert of last week and related a
remarkable story concerning q goose
on his farm. He states that he is in
the habit of counting his geese and put.
ting them in the stable every night,
but on the night of the great blizzard
one goose was missing and could not
be accounted for until a few days ago,
when he was shoveling a pile of snow
out Of his stable yard at the rear Of
his barn. AS he reached the bottom
of the drift his shovel struck against
something soft. Upon investigation
he located his missing goose, which
had been covered up in the snow for
o than six weeks without anything
to eat or drink. He states that the
goose was still alive, but very gaunt
and weak from the exposure and alb
stinence from food. He took the goose
to the house and cared for it 4 day CT
so. feeding judiciouSly. 1t thrived and
became very hearty. and was able to
join the balance Of the flock. frcl
which it had been separated for nearly
two months.-Easton MD Ledger.

MUKDEN.

Mukden, the ancient capital of the
Manchu dynasty of China, is a city
of 100000 people. The leighboring
tombs of the Emperor's ancestors are
the most revered shrines Of the I'M
perial family, and their safety is re-
garded in the Chinese court with much
more anxiety than that Of the whole
population of Manchuria. Like Port
Arthur, Mukden has been captured
twice by the Japanese-once in the war
with China and again IN the present
war. 1t is the second of the three
great strategic points in the interior
of Manchuria, the first being Lao

"And how old did you say he VASE"
resumed the old man.
"Forty."
"And you are rwenty?"
"Well. I'll be twenty-one in a couple
Of months"
"And how old are his children"
"The boy is fifteen and the girl only
ten," spoke up the young lady, evil
IDENTIFY without fear of tackling so
tough a job as looking after the
youngsters.
The man was silent for an instant,
trying to think of something else to
switch the young woman off the matri-
monial track. Mrs. Admington was
hoping he would be successful, but he
wasn't. Sc he fired a weak parting shot.
"Well," he began, hopelessly, "al L
can say to you is that if you marry that
man after having known him only two
weeks you will be doing a very foolish
thing, and in looking after those two
children you will certainly have your
work cut out for you"
81 don't care if I do" came the voice
of the young woman snappishly. I've
thought it all wei and I'm going to
marry him anyway
Mrs. Admington wasn't able to con-
tain herself any longer. She had no
sooner. heard the young lady's ultl-
matum than she broke into the CONVEX
sation with:
Don't you do it. If you do you're
a perfect goose and you ought to know
it."
Mrs. Admington heard gasps of sur
prise from the other two, and then the
voice Of the man.:
"Well, who in thunder are you?
"Tm not in thunler anybody"
snapped Mrs. Arlington, but I'm
considerably older than the young lady
at the other end Of the wire, and I've
learned a few things she ought to know
before SIZE marries a man twice as
old as herself and with two children
as big as she is"
"Pity you didn't learn not to listen
to private Conversations" snapped the
voice of the young woElcn.
"And another pity y5u didn't know
better than to discuss such matters
over a telephone" retorted Mrs. Ad-
mington, spicily. But I'm glad you
did, for it gives me a chance to tell you
you're a little simpletol if you marry
that man, and you'll regret it before
the year is out. Hes old enough to
be our father, and he wants you to
marry him before you've prepared
enough clothes to get you decentlJ out
of town. He ought to be ashamed Of
himself, and you ought to be spanked.
Goodby."
And then Mrs. Admington hung up
the receiver with a rap that almost
broke the hook.
"I've given that young woman a
piece of my mind, and I hope it will
do her some good. But I don't suppose
it will. Next time I catch her on my
telephone she will probably be asking
