To Read on the Way.

Here are some rules for the feminine
whist-player to put in her pocketbook
before she goes off to her club:
Win with becoming modesty and dig
nifty.
Let the cards discourse, but the tongue
be mute.
Do not deplore weak hands nor exult
ever strong ones.
Depart from rule at any time to make
or save a game.
Never hurry; if you have not time to
play two games, play one.
Make no demonstrations of approval
or disapproval at any time.
When it is evident your play is not
practicable, abandon it.
Do not play as though you were afraid
your partner might take a trick.
When you accept a partner, accept
him as he is, not as you wish him to be.
Take it for granted your partner is a
whist player until you know he is not.
Each card thrown has something to
say, and you should be equally attentive
to all.
Use your eyes and your head, not your
fists or your feet; physical whist is in
bad form.
Do not blow up" your partner if he
makes a blunder; if he is worth having
for partner he knows he has blundered
as well as you do.
Play a poor hand with as much care
as a good one, for the game may be won
or lost by the play of marlborough"
DO not forget the differences you drew
early in the play of the hand. for they
are the guide posts that point the way to
final victory, and the simplest one for
gotten may be the cause of your ultimate
ruin.

Feeding Zoo Animals.

There is a part of the 700 that the
public Is not allowed TO visit. 1t may
surprise many to know that there exists
in an Out-Of-the-way corner of the gar
dens an enclosed space where horses are
examined. and often kept for some lit
tie time previous to being slaughtered.
Disease cannot be detected so easily in
the cascass as in the live animal and

the carnivora becoming infected would

LIcoRIcE ROOT.
We Buy Half a Million Dollars Worth a
Year from Asia Minor.

Licorice root grows wild in the fields
of Asia Minor, and few attempts have
been made thus far toward its cultiyn-
ton.
Until Fifty years ago il was practically
unused, says Fur News. The root grown
on the Meander plains Is the best ia the
world, being superior to that found ia
Syria, Mesopotamia, Caueasin, Siberia or
China.
The exporters Of the root lease licorice
bearing lands for period Of from three
to five years. Digging usually begins in
October. and is done by peasants who at
the end of each day deliver the root to
the various depots and receive payment
according to the quantity they bring.
The root is piled up and exposed to the
air until about May and June. It then
weighs only half as much as originally
owing 10 the thorough drying process 10
which il has been subjected The root Is
sorted to obtain the qualities known as
"debris" and .'bagette," both of which are
highly valued.

How the Artists Model @Hapueu, ),

Most of our models are not made; they
just happen. Girls, in most cases Of
breeding and intelligence, want to make
little money for some special occasion.
Some acquaintance recognizes that they
have distinction and style, and gives them
the address Of an illustrator who hap-
pens to need just such q person. They
pose once in this way, more or less from
necessity. find they can make an indie
pendent living in congenial manner,
and so come again. In consequence, the
women who pose for a livelihood in New
York are exceedingly nice as n class.
The prevalent idea that the words "art-
lists model" necessarily means n highly
paid, greatly petted andautterly depraved
individual is ridiculous in the extreme. A
first class artists model in New York
city receives 50 day for six hours hard
work. A Photographic model has, of
course, o different proposition She has
shorter hours and higher rates.--Bohe-

The Right Kind of Bed and Bedroom.


DIR. Woods Hutchinson, who writes
entertainingly of Sleep in the Septem-
Der American Magazine, gives the fol-
lowing advice about one bed and bed
room:
1T goes without saying that the bed
room should be we'll ventilated, especial
ly in view of the heavy storing up Of
oxygen in the tissues which goes on dur
ing sleep. All windows should be open
from the top at least one. and better two
TO three feet, so that a gentle current of
air can be felt blowing across the face.
Night air. as Florence Nightingale pith-
lily remarked is all the air there is to
breathe at night. 1t is just as pure and
as wholesome as day air. Night fogs
and rain are only injurious in so far as
they brighten you into shutting your
windows. No air that ever blew out
doors is so dangerous, or poisonous, as
that inside a bedroom with closed WIN
dows.
The temperature of the room should
be about 55 degrees to 60 degrees r.,
II possible. If markedly below this the
amount of covering required IS apt to
become so great as to interfere With the
respiration Of the skin. The clothing
should be as light as is consistent with
warmth, the mattress elastic but urn,
the pillow as high as the breadth OF the
shoulder 50 as to keep the neck and
head horizontal or slightly above. when
lying on the side. The good. hard com
nonsense humanity has solved all these
problems, and the modern hair-mattress
or IT'S equivalent, single pillow and blank
cts, or cheesecloth-covered comfort,
which can be cleaned and aerated by
turning the hose on It. can hardly be
much improved on. Beyond these there
IS no virtue whatever in hard beds. fat
OF no pillows, and cold bedrooms"

Co-education?

The idea of co-education is q peculiar
ly American idea. Perhaps nowhere else
in the world do such large bodies of
young men and young women meet to-
gether for purposes of study and, at the
same time, enjoy together such social
freedom as is the case in the e0-educa
tional institutions of the United States.
One may question the wisdom of the CO..
educational idea, but as to its POPULAR
ity there can be no doubt. Many young
men and young women start to college
without social experience. They may
belong to good families whose essential
ideals of conduct are stanch and fine.
but to families in which hard work and
financial stress have crowded out the
knowledge and practice of social ameni-
ties. The youth of the students con-
cesned, the inexperience of many, the
variety in previous training and Inherit
ance, make the questions of social rela-
tons much more complicated than it
would be in the towns or cities from
which the various students come, ani
where each one belongs by custom and
birth to a well-defined circle of friends.
A golden piece of advice for those enter
ing college, though one not easy TO fol-
low, is: BE slow in forming your friend
ships"
Each college, co-educational or other
wise, has its local etiquette that has
risen out of its history. Certain things
can be done by seniors. for instance, that
would not be tolerated in freshmen: GER
tain other things that have no reference
to the general rules Of society are barred
because of a collegiate caprice that has
been transformed into law. With this
unwritten but binding etiquette the stu
dent soon becomes acquainted. IL he
runs counter to il, he is brought up
sharply and made 10 realize the penalty
The etiquette of common sense that
which should guide the relations between
young men and women, is of another
sort, and, owing TO the exigencies Of the
case, must largely be expressed by mega
tive admonitions.
The young girl must be educated at
home as well as away from home. The
foundation for such accomplishments as
she has a preference for must be laid
there. and she must prepare there, in
however slight q way, for the responsible
tiles that may rest upon her shoulders
when she has house of her own. For
her own training, as we'll as the relief
of her mother. every girl should assume
some household duty or duties. But
these. unless necessity commands, should
not be severe, and occasional laxity IN
performance should not be dealt with
harshiy. Young girlhood is a growing
time and a dreaming time. and q too
stern insistence upon household duties
sometimes blights important capabilities
Of mind and body.
1t was an old-fashioned idea that every
girl should be equipped with an accom-
plishment should cultivate some definite
ability TO please. The idea was much
abused, and resulted IN the torture Of

The Housewife in the Kitchen.

Saueepans should be fiat and broad as
possible. 1t takes less time to cook ar
ticles in such pans and saves gas ex-
pense as well.
Cover the wall above the kitchen table
for a height of 20 inches with oil cloth
or something easily cleaned Fasten this
by mailing to the top edge a strip of
small nails or hooks and use for cooking
spoons, forks, egg heaters. and such
small articles as are in constant use in
the kitchen. About Is inches above
place a long shelf, the under side having
large hooks for small buckets, measuring
cups, pitchers, tea and coffee pots, or
anything which may be hung up out of
the way, instead of keeping the table in
disorder The top of the shelf, covered
with oilcloth holds labeled cans or boxes
containing cereals, tea, coffee, washing
powder, salt, or any of the thousand and
one things in daily use. By such an ar
rangement much time and energy is
saved, as everything necessary is within
reach and does away with walking back
aud forth to the pantry.
Cut glass or any crystal should be
washed in warm soapsuds, rinsed in
warm water, then covered with clean,
coarse sawduss for ten minutes, after
which it should be lightly brushed with
clean, soft camefs hair brush. Avoid
extremes of temperature in handling
glass. and under no circumstances allow
cut glass to be put in the refrigerator.
BY cutting old potatoes into small
balls. allowing them TO soak for three
or four hours in cold water, then boiling
in cold sailed water and serving with
cream sauce. good substitute for new
potatoes is obtained.
If you have covered a pan in which
to roast meat, never open it to haste
the meat Keep covered from first to
last. The idea is that the pan is full OF
steam. which pelenates the fiber of the
meat. If desired to brown the outside
leave the cover off a short time in a
quick oven.
Melt Fl the tops oflarge tomato cans and
bake in them loaves of brown or white
bread. When cut the round slices of
bread make attractive looking sand
witches. then the edges are not so easily
broken in carrying as cut bread. Cake
baked in this manner, cut thin and
spread with tart jelly, is nice addition
to a lunch basket for school children.
1t would be better if kitchen cup
boards were enameled on the inside, for
when papered or covered with oilcloth
the tendency is to let more dust accumu-
late than would be done if the shelves
