THREE RECIPES.
The Way to Either Can, Jam or Pre-
serve q Husband.

The Way to Either Can, Jam or Pre-
serve a Husband.
For this purpose select a nice, kind,
amiable, Industrious, generous man.
The American variety is far better
than the foreign kind. Prepare him
by having him go through a long en-
gagement, which effectually renders
him easy to handle. Gently detach him
from all of his old friends and ac-
quaintances and remove any habits he
may have. He is then ready to can,
preserve or make jam, as you choose.
To can, merely deprive him of his
latchkey and throw a handful of moth
er.in-law in the house. Men corked up
Ike this have been known to keep for
years without spelling, though when
they are opened up, If kept too long,
they are apt to be sour. To make jam,
prepare as before, but shred all Of his
finer feelings by nagging and pound
them into a pulp by complaints. To
preserve a husband, put as much love
into the heart as it will hold, add an
ocean Of sympathy, a world Of tender
ness, a pound Of %forbearance, a dram
Of patience and drop him into it until
he is thoroughly coated over with sug-
ar. Husbands should always be crys-
tallized one at a time, never in pairs;
neither should they ever be stood in
hot water. This is where many won
en- make mistakes.-Memphis CONNER

Fable Of the Man Who Didn't Know.

Once there was a Young Man Ac-
counted Bright in every Other Way
who was seriously thinking Of Slipping
his Head into the Matrimonial Moose.
Before, however. taking a step
haught with such Tremendous Import
be decided to look About Him for q
little Expert Advice.
Hand by resided a Patient Man who
had been Married Seven Times; not
that he had had Seven Wives at One
Time, for Death or the Divorce Court
had always Removed one before he
had taken on Another.
To Him the Young Man went One
Day full of Confidence that he would
find out All About 1t. Tell me-" he

YOUR GRIP ON YOURSELF.
Retain That Though You Have to Let
Everything Else Go.

Everything Else Go.
Some people get along beautifully for
half a lifetime perhaps while every
thing goes smoothly. While they are
accommodating property and gaining
friends and reputation their characters
seem to be strong and well balanced,
but the moment there is friction any
where, the moment trouble comes-a
failure in business, a panic or a great
crisis in which they lose their all-they
are overwhelmed. They despair. lose
heart, courage, faith, hope and power to
try again-everything. Their very man
hood or womanhood is swallowed up
by a mere material loss.
This is failure indeed, and there is
small hope for any n who falls to
such a depth Of despair. There is hope
TOR an ignorant man who cannot write
his name even if he has stamina and
backbone. There IS hope for a cripple
who has courage, there is hope for q
boy who has nerve and grit, even
though he is SO hemmed in that he has
apparently no chance in the world, but
there is no hope for a man who cannot
or will not stand up after he falls, but
loses heart when opposition strikes him
and lays down his arms after defeat.
Let everything else go if you must
but never lose your grip on yourself.
Dc not let your manhood or woman.
hood go. This is your priceless pearl
dearer to you than your breath. Cling
to it with all your might. Give up life
itself first.-Success.

PANAMA HATS.

They Are Made From the Undevelop-
ed Leaves Of the Bombonaje.
The panama is q leaf hat made in
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru from the
undeveloped leaf Of the "bombonaje,"
which is a screw pine rather than a
palm. The trunk of the plant is only
q yard in height, but the leaf stalks are
two yards long.
The leaf before it has opened is pre-
pared for the manufacture of hats. It
then consists Of a bundle Of plaits
about two feet long and an inch in d.
ameter called a "cogollo." The green
outside is stripped of, and by means
OF q forked instrument it is cut into
narrow strips Of uniform size.
The cogollo is next boiled to tougher
the fiber and hung in the sun to dry
and bleach, when the strips shrivel into
cordlike strands ready for use. 1t takes
sixteen cogollos for an ordinary hat
and twenty-four for the finest, and a
single hat is plated in from four days
to as many months, according to its
texture and q~uality.-Mexican Herald.

You must suffer to be beautiful, &C

ment. if a lady's maid is to be believed.
She has revealed the secrets OF her
mistress boudoir, or, rather, torture
chamber. The lady herself is now
beautiful, but Il wonders that she IS
still alive. For months she lay fat on
her back on the floor, motionless, VIII
her arms close to her sides, during sew
eral hours every day. This was, IL ap-
pears, to improve her figure. During
the rest of the day, for the same perloo
Of time. she sat on a high stool. giving
and rocking the upper part OF her pods
backward and forward and from side
to side increasingly. By this process
she is said to have acquired a statu-
esque throat and a sylph's waist. Inc

Dislocated Her Shoulder

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, Of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adj
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her a bottle OF
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days

relief it gave his mother that he has

THE O o OLD STOVE.

When the eager air is nipping
Dainty little rosy toes,
When Jack Frost Is rudely shipping
Cheeks and fingers, ears and nose,
Then it is the foxy fellow
In the evening likes to be
Where the fire Is warm and mellow
AJd the girl is fair to see.
In the spring the fancy. fleeing.
OF the young man lightly turns
To a quiet starlight meeting
With the girl for whom he yearnA.
But when 1t is down to zero
And still going down. by Jove,
He would rather be the hero
Seated by the parlor stove.
Moonlight walks are quite alluring
When the fragrant lilies blow,
But they're quite beyond enduring
In q foot or two Of snow.
Then the warmth is not distressing
Or annoying for a change.
And the youth calls down a blessing
On the man who made the range.
There is solid comfort truly
In the hard Goals rudy fame
When the weather is unrulJ
And Jack Frost conducts The game,
And your cup is quite o~'erfowing,
Really more than is your due.

They have saved a place for you.

A Place Of Great Heat.

The largest Of the Avail islands,
Which are scattered over a considera-
BILE area in the Persian gulf, is said to
be earth's hottest place. The mean tenn
perature Of Bahrein, as it is called, is
~ degrees for the whole year. No Eu-
ropean can endure the heat, which at
midnight rises to 100, in the morning is
1V7 or 10S and by 3 in the afternoon
reaches the phenomenal height Of 140
negroes. The island is inhabited by
Arabs. The following high tempera-
lures are also experienced at the places
named: Parts of Algeria, 127 degrees:
Agra III degrees. and Lahore, LOT de-
Uees.
