That Troublesome Merineue.

The secret Of making the meringue
for lemon pies so that it stands tall
and thick is in the baking. Whip the
whites Of the eggs to froth that will
not fall out Of the bowl when turned
upside down. Put in about a table
spoonful Of graduated sugar for each
white, stir very little, spread it on the
pies when they are Just done and still
baking hot without taking them out Of
the oven and let them bake with tt =
oven open. If made hot enough to
brown, the meringue will surely fall
and become worse than nothing. Five
to ten minutes is enough to bake the
meringue dry and straw colored. Sift
granulated sugar on the top Of TIE
meringue as soon as spread on the pie
before baking.

A TrnnsIntor,s BIunder.

Jacob Boehme, the mystic shoemak
err" once wrote pamphlet which he
called Reflections on the Treatise Of
Isaiah Stiefel." One Of Boehme's BIZ
ographers had never heard of that the
ologian. But he knew enough German
to be aware that "Stiefep meant
"boot," and he was further misled by
the fact that Boehme was a cobbler
as well as a philosopher, so he made
a brilliant shot and spoke of the PAM
phlet in question as Boehme's "Refiec-
tons on the Boots of Isaiah" In this
guise it passed into several catalogues.

1T is SERIOUS.
Some Owosso People Fail to Realize
the Seriousness.

The constant aching of back,
The WEAKNESS, the tired feeling.
The pains and aches of kidney ills
Are serious-if neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles follow.
An Owosso citizen shows you how to
avoid them.
Mrs. E. w. Irving, of Gil Queen

A Good Thing to Know.

A writer, discussing the lost art Of
early rising, says, 1.-THE proper time to
rise Is when sleep ends" That's a good
thing to learn. Do you know, If we
hadn't seen that in paper we should
have gone on believing that the proper
time to rise was when you were right
In the midst Of your soundest sleep.
What blessed thing it is for this blind
old world that there are some men in
It who know nearly everything!

PITH AND POINT.

Being worthless pays no dividends.
Keeping a diary is nearly as hard
work as keeping dairy.
Being favorably impressed Is the
cheapest way we know of being a good
fellow.
Nothing makes us quite so mad as
to have people say, what made you
do it?"
It Is terribly hard to impress peo-
pie with the Importance of aiding In a
good cause.
Every one realizes when he goes to
a photographers that he Is not look
Ing his prettiest.
1t is all right to do things for your
town, but first do things for your
home and family.
We are all pretty easily pleased
when we consider that three or four
times a day we see exactly how we
look in the looking glass.-Atchison
