METHOD IN HoUsEWoRk.
Irregularity and Want OF Method
Sure to Result in Loss Of Time,
Strength and Temper.

A proper arrangement Of the differ.
ent items Of household work should
be the chief aim and object Of every
housewife. ~Irregularity and want OF
method invariably result In loss OF
time, temper and strength.
Work done by fits and starts, with
intervals of idleness, tends to cause con-
fusion in any household. Many women
otherwise intelligent and energetic
seem to be quite Incapable of conduct
ing their household affairs with any
degree of method.
They attempt too much at a time.
appear to be always busy, and yet
one sees no end to the confusion that
reigns around them. This want OF
method could easily be remedied if the
work of each week were planned be-
forehand, according to the convenience
of each home.
Every day should claim its own du-
ties, which should be SO arranged that
n days work will not interfere with
another. If this is done it will be an
easy matter to get through the daily
routine without overworking.
Although the daily routine may be
properly arranged, yet there are many
housekeepers who are SO slow In their
methods that the ordinary work of the
household is never finished until late
at night. Work should be estimated
by what is done, not by the number Of
hours it takes to complete it.
On the other hand, there are many
young learners who r so anxious to
finish their household tasks in as short
a time as possible that these are often
very imperfectly done. In house
holds where a servant is kept it is
sometimes necessary to draw up q
time table for her guidance.
Care must be taken that the time set
apart for the various items of house
work is long enough to allow these to
be thoroughly done and also that the
arrangement is such that both mis-
tress and servant will have some de-
gree of leisure every day.
In many well regulated houses a
time table Is hung on the kitchen wall.
with the work of each day carefully
noted, as we'll as the time to be de-
voted to each item. The work of each
household can easily be arranged so
that there is little to be done on the
last DAY of the week, which most peo-
pie regard as a half holiday.
An early start must be made every
day. In all households, whether great
or small, each apartment should be
thoroughly cleaned once a week. 1t is
a good plan to have a day set apart for
each room, and n day every two
weeks at least ought to be devoted to
the cleaning and arrangement OF cup
boards and what is known as "odd
corners. Marion Harris Neil.

Let him feel that he may invite the

There is SO much good in the worst

And so much bad in the best of us,

Young people demand entertainment.
You cannot put old heads on young
shoulders, nor should you desire to do
so. What you and I need to do is 70
keep an ever balance, to adjust work
and play, to remember that recreation
is as rightful a thing as labor, but that
excessive devotion to amusement leads
to wasteful dissipation. A. boy who
can never spend a quiet evening at
home, a girl who Graves continual ex-
element, is in peril of losing the best
that can be given him or her and OF
making shipwreck, Notwithstanding
the fairest opportunities.
People are always asking about
amusements. Is it wrong to do this?
Is it right to do that? Is it sinful to
go here, or go there? And there is an
inherited tendency in most of us to put
a premium upon asceticism per Sc.
Somehow or other we fancy that there
is great virtue in wearing a h~aircloth
shirt, and keeping frequent fast days
and denying ourselves innocent pleas
ure. But no pleasure that is innocent
deprives anyone and a ban need not be
laid upon any form Of amusement
simply because of tradition. Those
amusements in which there is an ele-
ment of brutality, of cruelty to ami
mails. or of riotous luxury are wrong.
Those which may be carried on in the
presence and with the sanction of good
women and good men, which involve
no harm to anyone and which young
people, and older ones, too, may en-
joy, are all right. We would not send
our young people unchaperoned to a
public ball. Far be it from any par
ent who values the welfare of his child
in this world and the next, to let him
enter the precincts of a gambling
room, Thara ara o~mucamoutS on which
the devil has set his i~neradicable
stamp. but why object, as some consci-
entious people do, to a home dance
or a school dance, or any pleasant
party where innocent amusement rules
the hour? There is nothing objection
able in fun, good humor and a happy
time.

Mustv Bread.

When bread molds or tastes musty
in a day or two after 1t is baked, It
shows that there is something wrong
with the -four. There are several kinds
of molds which will give a musty smell
to the bread without decomposing it.
These are apt to be present in -four
that has been kept in a damp place, and
low-grade flour often contains them in
a large quantity. The baking process
kills the organisms, but the musty flavor
is not killed even by the heat. Also the
chemical character Of the bread is
changed to one which favors the growth
Of any bacteria which may exist.

SAVING GRANDFATHER RAT.
How Whisker and Frisker Helped
Him to Escape the Sharp Teeth

MANY BALLS AND BATS.
Demand for Them in California i
Much Greater Than in Any
Other State.

Californians buy more baseballs and
bats with which to play the national
game than the people of any other
state in the union in proportion to
population, reports the San Francisco
Chronicle.
Close to $4,000 balls and 10000 bats
are annually required to supply the
demand created by the strong hold
which the great American game has
secured in this state. Climatic condi-
lions in California impose no limita-
lions on the playing season, and there
fore the game is in evidence here dur
ing every month of the year, which, of
course. furnishes one of the explana-
tions why a greater number of balls
and bats are required than in other
less favorable localities.
OF course the professional leagues
use UP a great many balls in the course
of a season, but they are by no means
as important a factor in the trade as
are the numerous amateur teams or
ganized among the business houses Of
a large city like San Francisco. These
amateur teams cut a very much great
er figure than would be imagined by
the casual observer.
It is worthy Of note that at the pres
emf time there are six baseball teams
in San Francisco made up of Japanese,
all OF whom are well equipped with
uniforms and the other appurtenances
necessary to the playing of the great
American game in the most up-to-date
style. The Orientals declare that they
like the game very much indeed, and
they readily become proficient players.
Baseball is making a big hit in Japan.
and the sport may become as popular
in that realm of the mikado as it is In
America.

HINTS TO THE COOK.

A currycomb makes an excellent fish
scraper.
The oftener soup is strained the
clearer it becomes. An old napkin
serves very we'll for a strainer.
In order to have potatoes always
white, tine kettle in which they are
cooked should never be used for any
other purpose.
A tablespoonful of sugar added to
the water for basting roast beef will
give a rich brown color as we'll as a
fine flavor.
Eggs covered with boiling water and
allowed to stand five minutes are more
nutritious and digestible than when
boiled rapidly for three minutes.
In favoring cake do not use lemon
Juice if light cake is desired, since
the acid sets free the carbon dioxide
before baking.
Tie waxed lining paper to cracker
bikes is excellent to wrap lunches in.
1t is very good to clean fiat irons with
also.
To prevent tomato soup from curd-
ling add the tomatoes before the milk
is put into it, and remember to strain
the tomato juice before turning it over
the flour and hutter.
A soft varnish brush with a string
or wire through the handle to hang 1t
by is a desirable utensil in every pam
try to be useI for brushing bread,
rolls and pastry with melted butter.
In a fruit pie always mix a table,
spoonful of flour thoroughly with the
sugar-both dry. If butter is to be
used spread it OF the lower crust be-
fore putting in the fruit and 1t will
be evenly distributed through the pie.

this great house without even scraping
your sides"
Grandfather Rat rocked to and fro
on his launches and groaned pitifully.
And there's a terrible danger at our
very DOORS" he went on. 1.-THE family
upstairs have bought a fox terrier pup,
and that means death if we get in his
way. I have never been afraid of a kit
ten, and I've gotten the best of a half
grown cat more than once, but a fox
terrier, and me gone blind! Well have
to move to the barn. That pup simply
haunts the cellar, and our only means
of livelihood, the garbage barrel, is ex-
posed to all his fury"
Grandfather, dear, we will look after
you and see that no danger reaches
YOU" cried Whisker.
eve will, indeed" echoed young
Frisker.
Times were changed for the Rat fam
lily. No longer did they dare to chase
each other fearlessly across the cellar
floor. No longer could they race gayly
I'D the side of the garbage barrel and
help themselves to the rich stores.
They must bide their chances, for no
one could tell when the terrible terrier
might leap upon them.
One day the master of the house was
heard to say:
"Trip, I've stopped up all the rat
holes except this one. Now, you just
lie in wait right here, and we'll clean
out the whole bunch"
Then hope died in the heart of
Grandfather Rat. Whisker and Frisker
might still steal out to the garbage
barrel when the dog was asleep, but
he-he must starve!
But Whisker and Frisker thought
differently; and together they schemed
and planned to save their beloved
grandfather.
I'VE must leave this house, that is
plain. The Darn is big and safe, with
grand hiding places where a dog can
v get, and food is plentiful there.
We must surely go to the barn."
But how to get their blind old grand
father moved safely?
Just then Frisker had a happy
thought.
I'VE will save you, never fear, grand
father"
So he hunted and found a little stick,
which he laid at the side of the hole,
and Whisker watched until he saw Trip
go out in the yard to play with his
master.
"Now, grandfather, quick. Grip with
your teeth on this stick"
Grandfather did as he was bid.
Now, Whisker, you take one end
and I'll take the other, and, grand
father, you just run and we will lead
you"
Whisk! Frisk! Scamper! They were
off for the barn. Trip looked up to see
a gray streak passing rapidly over the
grass.
Wool. Wool" he barked, and was
after them, but he was too late, for
grandfather was still nimble on his
feet. Under the barn they scuttled,
just as Trip gave a vicious snap at
their tails.
And SO Grandfather Rat was saved
for a long and peaceful old age.-Bos-
