REGULAR HOURS FOR MEALS.
Matter of Importance Housekeepers
Frequently Overlook.

Everyday Luncheons says too much
cannot be said in favor of regular
hours for meals. Midway between
breakfast and dinner there should be
a nourishing luncheon, not elaborate
in quality or quantity, but sufficient.
Furnaces are supplied with coal each
day at approximately the same hours.
The jewellers who deal in expensive
watches will advise winding the
watch at exactly the same hour each
day. Does not the human body mean
as much to the soul that dwells in It
as a watch or furnace?
When one eats hearty breakfast,
the noon luncheon should be light, and
consist mainly of fruit. When break
fast is light, the non luncheon should
be of a more substantial character
A lively form of entertainment has
been recently in vogue. Housekeep
ers gather together, and the hostess
distributes pencils and slips OF pa
per. Each woman writes on as man,
slips of paper five "left-overs" hkel!
to be in any refrigerator at any time
These are all shaken up together, ant
each woman draws five. The problem
is to get the best possible luncheon
from the "left-overs' on the five slips
| and the one who does the best VIII
her material gets the prize.

Two Good Cleaning Recipes.

Here Is a recipe which is efficacious
for cleaning fabrics without injpring
their texture or changing their color.
1t is also particularly good in cleaning
rugs and carpets. Crate two raw pota-
toes in a bowl which contains pint
of clear, cold water. Now strain
through a sieve, allowing the liquid to
fall into another bowl containing an
other pint Of cold water. When 1t
settles, pour off the water into a bot
tie and keep for future use. Dip q
sponge into the potato water and rub
the soiled garment carefully. after
which 1t may be washed in clear wa
ter.
| When ivory knife handles get discol-
ored dip half lemon in salt and rub
on them. Wash off Immediately in
warm water, and the handles will look
az white as when new.

BIRDS THAT ENJOY DANCING
Have Regular "6aIl Rooms" for Their
Gyrataions.

Dancing is by no means confined to
.quadrupeds; it is the principal play
of many birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers
is the South American cock O. the
rock. These birds have regular dane
ing places, level spots which they keep
clear of sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the bird dane
ers assemble around this spot, and
then a cock bird, his scarlet crest
erect, steps into the center. Spread
ing his wings and tail, he begins to
dance, at first with slow and state
ly steps, then gradually more and
more rapidly until he is spinning like
a mad thing At last, tired out, he
sinks down, hops out of the ring and
another takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great
dancers, and so are the American sand
hill cranes. 1t is a most ludicrous
sight to watch crane dancing; he Is
SO desperately solemn over the whole
performance He looks like shy
young man who has just learned &c
waltz and is rather ashamed of the
accomplishment.

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com

inventors still are on the lookout for
some device that will prove house
hold necessity, as they realize 1t will
command ready market.
AS an example. an Iowa man has
patented knife for cutting potatoes
that does eight times the work of the
ordinary knife. Instead of requiring
eight cuts to divide the potato into
pieces it is all done at one operation.
The illustration plainly shows the
construction of the knife, no descrip-
ton being necessary. Six small blades
and enc center blade, attached to a
handle, are all that is required. One
stab at a potato divides it into eight
pieces. In hotels, restaurants, etc.
where thousands Of potatoes are Gu
up each day, this knife would save
considerable labor and time.
