WHAT'S IN A TITLE3


The Puritan needed vent for the
energy repressed by his rlgldly order
ed existence. Shorn Of ornament In
dress and decoration, he evidently
worked of portion or his sense of, the
Ornate in some of the titles of the re-
ligious works of the time. Many Of
them are sensational and alllterative
enough to satisfy the yellowlst report
or of to-day. The contents of the bot
ties thus labeled must be of lurid and
strenuous nature, or else 1t might be
said Of them. as the dramatist wrote
OF the cognomen Of humankind:
The name is but a shadow which we
ind.
Too often larger than the man
behind.
"The Seven Sobs Of Sorrowful
Soul for Sin, or the Seven Penitential
Psalms Of the Princely Prophet David;
whereunto are added William Humin's
Handful of Honeysuckles, and Divers
Cody and Pithy Ditties, Now newly
augmented" Is impressive, but lit
tie cumbersome for ordinary conver-
sation and advertising.
Another, inconviently long, is;
"A reaping hook well-tempered for
the stubborn ears OF the coming Crop
Of Biscuit baked In the Oven of Chari-
ty. Carefully Conserved for the Chick
ems Of the Church, the Sparrows of the
Spirit, and the Sweet Swallows of Sal
vatlon."
After these, titles such as the follow
ing sound tame and hardly worthy of
notice:
"The Spiritual Mustard Pot to make
the Soul sneeze with Devotion; "The
Shop of the Spiritual Apothecary"y
Matches lighted at Divine Fire." and
"Sixpenny-worth Of Divine Spirit"
In much milder and secular sort
Of way the modern newspaper par
takes Of the spirit Of Its Puritan exemp-
lar in the heading of the paragraph

CARE OF GARMENTS
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE
SMART WOMEN.
Neatness and Economy Result from
the Proper Putting Away Of
Dresses and Accessories in
the Best Manner.

The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings Is not only neat.
but economical. and generally smart
in appearance. When she comes In
from a walk she never hangs up her
coat by the loop inside the collar. II
she puts II away in the cupboard she
uses a coat hanger; If she leaves 1t
around the room. knowing that she
may need 1t soon, she disposes 1t over
the back of chair. that will keep II
in shape.
The skirts of her gowns never have
a stringy look. because they are al
ways hooked and then hung up by two
loops. For a tailor-made skirt she
uses a small coat hanger. with the
ends bent down n little. This keeps
the skirt In excellent shape. and
causes it to hang In even folds.
The strings of her underskirt arc
tied. and the garment is hung by the
loops, thus never showing hump
where 1t has rested on the hook.
For the same reason her blouses
are always hung by the armholes. un-
less they have hanging loops. Hand
some ones are stuffed with tissue pa
per. and are then laid in drawers or
boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping a pair of trees in them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet. II trees are not available. news
paper will do. II It is stuffed in tight.
1t is well to roll each veil on stiff
piece of paper; a single fold will often
spoil the set of veil and sometimes
even mar the expression of the face.
Gloves should always be removed
by turning them wrong side out; they
should then be turned back again.
blown into shape. and each finger
smoother out.
Hats, of course. should be kept out
of the dust and placed so that the
trimming will not be disarranged.
Furs. also. should be protected from
dust, and mum should always be
stood on end.
If women realized the most of their
belongings are lying idle more than
they are being worn they would. per.
haps. be more attentive to these little
niceties. which are small things In
themselves, but go far toward keep
ing them looking trim. The perfec.
tion of each detail is noticeable in the
woman who has mastered the art OF
putting things away.

money sent from districts to the farge
ciues means the concentration OF
wealth In these cities and greater
support for the trust builders. They
should also understand that their
farm values to great extent depend
upon the activity and importance Of

placed upon him by the trusts and
combinations. he can do 1t by assist

his county and state. The question
is worthy of the most careful consid-
eratlon OF every resident of rural
district. The greatest utilization of
all home resources can only be
brought about by a cooperation of
the people. Every land owner and
every person employed in the tilllng

to economic questions and discover,

Put the pot in which the meat is to be
cooked over the fire, and when no.
lay in the beef and brown, turning
from side to side until the whole sur
face is richly colored. Add half
dozen little onions. two tablespoon
fuls of tomato. little chopped pars-
ley. bay leaf. half a dozen whole
black peppers and three cloves, to-
gether with a cup of boiling water or
stock. Place the pot where the meat
will just simmer and steam for three
hours. keeping the pot closely cov-
cred. An hour before serving add
three carrots sliced thin and another
cup of stock If needed. When done
take up the meat on hot platter, sea
son the sauce with salt and pepper,

meat, alternating with little rounds
of peas. then strain In the sauce over

Recipe for Mint Punch.

Wash and bruise fresh spearmint
and strip off enough leaves to fill a
quart bowl. Cover with boiling water
and steep for ten minutes. Strain.
chill and add one cup of grape juice
and one cup of strawberry or rasp-
berry Juice. either fresh or canned.
Sweeten to taste, using a syrup made
by boiling equal quantities of sugar
and water for ten minutes. This and
all similar drinks are much more
bland when sweetened with this syrup
than when raw sugar is used. Mint
punch may be varied by using these
fruits, such as lemons or currants; a
few tiny sprigs of mint should float
on the punch bowl or pitcher.-Good

Try for Factories,

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business of any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of a city or town,
srd any means of supplying this need
is commendable. But there ia ono
thing that many citizens do not take
into consideration. and that is, 1t Is
better for the citizens of town to
build up Industries already establish
ed than to strive to gain new indus-
tries. A manufacturing plant is BEN
eficial to place in accordance with
its payroll and its output OF goods
that bring a revenue to the town
Some small concerns that will eni-
ploy a dozen hands Will have a pay
roll Of perhaps $35 or $40 day. The
value of its products may amount to
$4,000 or $4,000 annually, all do
pendent upon the character of tho
business. But what is most consid
cred is the payroll. From the aver
age small town 1t is estimated that
trade lost. and which goes to large cit.
ies through the mails, is more than
800 day. II citizens of commu-
nifty would retain this 500 day and
do their trading in the home town, ~
is evident that 1t would be twice AZ
beneficial as the small factory thai
has a payroll Of $50 or $50 daily.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Distinct Change from the Recent Pro-
 found Apathy.

found Apathy.
 New York, June 25.-The stock mar het was taken in hand today with more yigcr and determination than for some time past. The initiative was supposed to be largely professional but the ap. Iearance of confidence even among se professional operators was a distinct change from the present profound apathy and while thet individual CT group varied in the different surdises there was general agreement that or garized professional operations were concerned in the upward movement of prices. The movement was based ob- viously on the almost total absence of selling pressure in the market from several days past, notwithstanding some news of an unfavorable charAc- ter. It was foun deasy, therefore, to bid up Irices without bringing out any overwhelming offerings cf stocks at the higher level. Thare was a mark ed movement in speculative sentiment in London and this relieved he local mar ket from factor which has helpea lo keep it back, Apparently fears of trouble at the fortnightIy stock marked settlement in progress tlrere have sub sided.
 A good impression was caused by the success of the $6,0O0.OOO Philadel- .phia four per cent~ebond issue. The bid of a syndicate at' 100,27 was fol- lowed by reported resales by the syndi- cate up to 102 1-2 and bids above that This incident was regarded as having an important bearing on the coming sale of $29,OO0,OO0 New York city bonds on Friday of this week. A failure has been feared for this offering, and the effect of such failure qn the invest ment situation has been much dread ed. Such an isolated incident as the Philadelphia bond sale is often fore runner of a general change in the in- vestment tide and was of large senti- mental influence on the days market. The very favorable crop conditions re- ported by the weekly bulletin of the weather bureau was help to the mar ket. The driving in of a short interest also helped the growing strength This had become pronounced and general by the last hour of the day, and numer- ous gains of one to three points were shown by all classes of securities, These gains were held to the strong and active closing.
