Used Him as Eraser.

The late DR.. Henry Martyr Field
some years ago related at Williams
alumni dinner rather amusing Incl
dent of his freshman days at college.
Being only IL years old when he
entered he had not reached the point
where the natural friction between the
big boy and the small boy ceases and
he was at particular feud with one of
his fellows, a stalwart country youth
fresh from the farm. One day young
Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very
exasperating caricature of his en-.
envy, with his name beneath. When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not a word, but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub
bling out the offensive picture quietly
took his seat.

china's Tea Trade Declining.

Some interesting statistics have
been collected by Vice-Consul Arnold,
at Foo-Chow, concerning the great
decline in China's tea trade From
1878, when tea was first introduced
into England, until 1887 China held ex-
clusively the tea trade of the world.
Then India began to enter the tea
market The Chinese trade reached
high tide in 1886, with a total export
Of 100000 pounds. In 1884 China
furnished about ~ per cent of the
worlds total, India and Ceylon Is per
cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per
cent. But in 1904, when the total con-
sumption had increased to 100000
pounds, China contributed only 80 per
cent, India and Ceylon so per cent,
Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The
decline in China is ascribed to care
less methods of cultivation and pre-
paration of the leaf.

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from Or or another of these inn
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. PinkEam'S Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from gre teful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
Ill. writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

CANNING GRAPES.

Our family never cared much for
canned grapes until we commenced to
put them up in the following man
ner: Choose Concord grapes, large
and well ripened, and cut each grape
from the stem with a pair of large
scissors, as close as possible without
breaking the skin Fill these into
glass jars, shaking them we'll down.
The can should be heated with hot
water before putting in the grapes.
Put the cans in the oven on upturned
pie plates or pieces of boards, and
gradually heat up the oven until the
grapes are heated through, but do
not let them remain in long enough
to break up. Have on the stove a
syrup of grape juice, strained as for
jelly and sweetened with granulated
sugar, using one cupful for each cup
full of juice. Pour this into the cans
until they are Overlooking, then seal
quickly. The syrup around these
grapes will be rich and delicious;
the grapes will remain whole and
look like plums-M M. w, Ohio, in
the Woman's Home Companion.

TO TEST CAKE.

Although an old cake-maker, I
have just learned how to test cakes,
SO they will not fall or be sticky.
When you think the cake is done, re-
move from oven, hold to your ear,
and if it sings loud put it back
where you had it; il it @sings very
family, put in cooler part of oven, or
if oven is very hot, leave the door I'M
latehed or slightly open. When It
does MOI sing at all you could drop it
and it would be all right, provided it
was made correctly l turn mine out
of tin as soon as removed from the
oven, either on the molding-board
or on the bottom of clean tin. Then
you can pick up pan, cake and all and
carry tender cake where you want
it without danger OF breaking. II it
sticks to the tin, run sharp knife
under it close to the pan, then place
on plate or other layer of cake
