The singing during work hours Is ex-
cellent exercise for the throat and lungs
and whistling will, if persisted in, tend
to fill the ugly hollows to the right and

good gymnastic exercise for women.

What Women Have Been Doing

This whole scheme, which, so far as
known, is not duplicated elsewhere, and
which certainly has not been carried
to any such successful issue by the
teachers of any other community,
evolved in the brain Of Miss Elizabeth
Allen, principal of the Hoboken normal
school. Miss Allen is a descendant Of
Ethan Allen, and she has found need Of
some of her revolutionary ancestor s
qualities in carrying thru plan which
involved colossal labors and evoked at
times great opposition. She is secretary
of the retirement fund department of
the New Jersey State Teachers asso-
citation and also of the board Of trus-
tees of the retirement fund.
The sad condition of some teachers
who had taught for years in the public
schools Of the state and then were
"turned out, like an old horse, to die, "
was what aroused her to action. One
such teacher, who had contributed a
useful part to the education Of thou
sands Of public school boys and girls,
died In poorhouse. When it is re.
membered that according to the report
issued by the National Educational as.
ISOLATION last june the average wage
of grade teachers In the United States
docs not equal the average wage Of
street cleaners, this will not be found
strange. ~.

devote whole day to going over the
linen stock and to make renewals where
necessary.
It is a mistake to allow the supply Of

time means a somewhat heavy item of
expense. It is much better to make
periodical additions. -@.-

Frau Ottilie Bondy Of Vienna is the
the philanthropic congress, to be held
in Milan this year. This is not the first
time Frau Bondy has represented her
country abroad. She was appointed by
tho Austrian government one Of the
jurors of the Columbian exhibition, was
delegate to tho kindergarten congress
at the st. Louis exhibition, and has
| been delegate st international con-
ventions of various kinds at Paris,
Stockholm, Lisbon and other points.
Also, she has received gold medal
from the emperor. A woman has to do
something worth while to receive such
honors. Frau Bondy was one Of the
first to introduce the kindergarten into
Austria. Among the institutions which
she has founded or helped to found in
Vienna Is the Union Charities, home
for women seeking employment; an iu-
stitution for the education Of daugh-
ters of state employees, an orphan asy-
lum, and the famous Vienna Haus-
frauen Verein. This is a training
school for servants, free employment
Office and woman g exchange combined.
It gives servants prizes and conducts
an excellent restaurant. 1t has for
many years been successfully conducted
by women. Frau Bondy's daughter,

After boiling the rice mix in q

Boil separately we1l-washed Carolina
rice and small spring cabbage. Drain
the cabbage and cut into tiny pieces.
Mix with it the drained rice, and add an

A little cream and tablespoonful Of
Parmesan cheese may also be added,
and will be liked. Stir over the fire un-
til quite hot. Serve with croutons of
fried bread, spread with anchovy but
ter.
We are accustomed to cook rice in
boiling water, but recipe from an East
Indian kitchen advises using cold water.
The recipe is given in full, as published
in an English magazine: Pick over and
wash the rice thru several waters, then
put in q large pan, with pinch Of salt
and full quart of fresh, cold water for
every half-pound Of rice. Bring this
water to a boil, and by the time this
point has been reached the rice should
have been cooked. Strain from the
water and return to the pan. Stir the
rice with fork over the fire a minute
or two, till the grains are quite dry and
perfectly separate. Cooked in this fash
ion the rice will be found quite ten
der, tho slightly crisp.
