When children are given nuts OF any
kind for dessert, they should be well
salted, for not only does this make
them more palatable, but more digest
ible, as well, and prevents the collie

only does it act as tonic on the skin,
but will clear and brighten a sallow
complexion.
When changing the stockings after
the feet have been wet. rub the soles
with salt, preferably warm salt that
has been heated in the oven, and no liz
results viii follow the exposure. Bath
ing the feet with cold salt and water
is also good to prevent the usual con-
sequences of an exposure to wet wealth

A little salt mixed with powdered
chalk and orris in equal quantities
makes an excellent toothpowder. and
salt mixed with ordinary dentifrice
will harden and strengthen the gums
A pinch of salt held in the mouth and

BUFFET SUPPERS.

The buffet supper has practically
gone out in New York. Small tables
are used, which means greater comfort
to the guests. Supper menus, too. are
simpler. and each hostess tries to have
a new dish entirely her own planning.
The caterer, with his rich messes and
unwholesome salads. is passed by. At
a small company 1 attended last week.
the hostess served smoking hot roast
ed oysters. delightful jellied tongue
with chopped pickle served in Spanish
peppers, little hot rolls in form of
balls, plain tomato salad and a frozen
macedonia of fruits, instead of ice

tablespoonful of flour. Into this put
two tablespoons of the strained liquor
in which the fish were boiled stirring

Among the simple remedies which the

the aches and pains which it will re

A sudden sore throat will be relieved
almost miraculously by the application
Of hot water cloths, and a swallow OF
hot water held in the mouth for a few
seconds will often relieve a sick head,

to the soles of the feet and the back

| rheumatism and neuralgia are nearly
always caused by the patient taking
cold. and pieces of flannel of suitable

applied to the seat of the pain, will re-
lieve the agony without resorting to
drugs. Toothache and earache will
often respond to this treatment when

small boy suffers after indulging in
green apples is a symptom, not a. dis

they must be continuous, and the
change of cloths be made before the
one in use has cooled. If the applica-

It is said that filling the ear with
warm. but not hot, water, and then.
after allowing the water to run out,
plugging the orifice with a bit of cot
ton wet with glycerine. and sprinkled
with red pepper, will cure a severe ear
ache when everything else fails. Since
earache and toothache are the result
OF exposure to the cold. the patient
should be placed in a comfortable posi-

Unlocked Boxes at Muskogee and
South McAlester Rifed.

Muskogee, I. THE Muskogee
postoffice was robbed Of valuable
letters by someone who rifed every
box that was left unlocked or upon
which he could work the combina-
ton. It is thought that many valu-
able papers and some money have
been taken. Zevely & Givens, law
firm Of this city, discovered a trail
Of letters addressed to them scat
tered about the street, and the post
office inspector was notified. 1t Is
said that $1,000 worth of promis-
sorry notes and drafts have been
picked UP at various places where
they were dropped by the thieves.
Postmistress Alice Robertson has
changed the combinations upon
boxes unlocked, so that they will be
reminded hereafter of the rules,
which require that all boxes be kept
locked. Inspector Emmons is max
Ing every effort to locate the thieves.
The South McAlester postoffice
was also robbed of letters and valu-
ables worth $1,000. Patrons of the
Office have been in the habit of leav-
ing their boxes unlocked. The
thieves took advantage of this and
rifled every box that they found un-
locked. Paul Carey, "a Muskogee
negro, has been arrested here and
has confessed to robbing both post
Offices.

MADE TITLE ONE OF TERROR.
Hard-Fighting Dutch Patriots Were
the "Beggars Of the Sea-"

The "Beggars of the Sea" were
those who, during the war for Dutch
independence, fought Philip of Spain
at sea, as their brother "beggars"
strove against his power on land
The way in which the term "beggar"
came to be that by which the Dutch
patriots were distinguished was this:
A deputation Of the confederate no.
bles OF the low countries, headed by
Count Louis of Nassau, presented to
Margaret, duchess of Parma, the rep
resentative OF Philip III In the Meth
erlands, remonstrance, called the
compromise" against the inquisi-
ton. Somewhat unnerved by their
bold front, she was inclined to yield
to their demands, when the count Of
Barliamont, one Of her council, whis-
pered to her that she need not be
afraid Of these gatherings Of beg
gars." In moment Of savage irony,
those to whom this contemptuous
epithet was applied, accepted the
title, and Long live the Beggars!'
was the watchword which was heard
during that prolonged and bitter
struggle. which lasted over fifty years
and ended in the release of Holland
from the Spanish yoke.

Clerks Reminder.

Some years ago, in the days when
the psalms were read in the church
Of England, service was being held
In a country parish In South Devon.
The parish clerk was slightly deaf.
From the reading desk tho rector
could see into an orchard adjoining
the churchyard. He had come to the
end Of one of the psalms, when, In.
stead Of saying, GLORY be to the Fa.
ther," etc.. he spoke as follows:
Farmer Thompson, think 1t is only
right to let you know that there are
boys In your orchard stealing the ap.
ples."
Wherupon the clerk: "As It was In
the beginning, so it will be evermore.
world without end. Amen."-London
