PROTEST AGAINST WORD VEST.
London journal Ascribes It to Tyran
ny of Tailors.

Observation-Disclosures could not go
much further than il did Ia the case
OF the WandswOrth-road landlady's
son, who charged the lodger with
stealing his waistcoat, and then dis
covered that he had been wearing
1t all day himself beneath his shirt.
by what process did his waistcoat
assume this unusual position? Sure
ly it was a throw-back to the treat
ment of a waistcoat as II it were
really the Est that tailors persist
In calling il. To the ordinary modern
man vest" means an undergar
ment. Yet the tyranny of the tailor
prevails even with the dictionaries
They all begin by setting forth that
a vest" was originally an outer gar
ment. such as the vest made fash
ionable by Charles II. and ridiculed
by Louis XIV. who dressed his lack
eys in it. According to Pepys. it was
a long cassock fitting closely to the
body. But the dictionaries go on to
say that vest" now commonly means
a waistcoat. Among several consulted
only one even mentions the really
common use, and that is an American
dictionary, which observes that in
England "undcrvest" or west" means
what 'undershirt" does in America

CARE OF THE HOME
BUSY MOTHERS SHOULD ENLIST
SERVICES OF CHILDREN.
Oawning Sense of Responsibility Can
Be Awakened by Giving Them
Part of House to Care For.

The busy mother. especially without
a servant, will find the proper care of
the home too much for her unless she
enlists the children as helpers. says
the Mothers Magazine. Let her begin
to practice systematics at once in this
case. Let her also call into play the
dawning sense of responsibility. AS
sign some particular corner or box of
playthings to one child to be cared for.
Let there be a certain proprietorship
in this and develop a pride in doing
the bit of work well. A small boy
might have the task of putting away
Yesterdays newspapers, and do it
regularly, as his own special part in
keeping the house tidy and pleasant
The formation of careful habits and
genuine relief to the mother will be
the double effect of apportioning such
tiny tasks to the children.
The motive for doing these little
things well should be made promi-
nent. 1t should not be thought of as
drudgery at all, but should be allowed
as an honor. showing that the child
is now big enough to help mother and
do things in the right way Discrimi-
hating praise should be bestowed. not
as If it were anything astonishing and
out of the way for the little one to do
the work and do it well, but as a token
of appreciation of the motive and the

DR.. Bisbee Got Even.

Rev. DR.. Bisbee, editor of the Uni
versalist Leader, is noted for being
one of the nimblest witted of the
clergy, says a writer in the Bos-
ton Herald. On one occasion he was
hurriedly sent for to conduct a serv-
ice in a small town outside of Bos-
ton, in place of a certain DR.. Blank.
who was unable to be present. He
went and at the chose of the service
was introduced to some of the parish
toner's. One man, who thought him
self something of a wag, on shaking
hands sought to embarrass the preach
er.
This is rather a surprise" he said
The paper said DIR. Blank was to
preach. l asked one of my friends
what kind of a man ne was, and he
said he was the handsomest man in
the denomination. Now what do Won
suppose l thought when you stepped
into the pulpit?"
AS quick as a flash the good doctor
replied; why. l suppose you said
to yourself: There! That's Blank!'"

CRIMINALS OF BIRD WORLD.
They Steal Eggs from the Nests of
Other Birds.

A subject which has exercised me
this summer has been as to what
bird it is with a bill seemingly small
70 than a jays which plumbers others
nests, breaking and sucking the eggs,
says a writer in Country Life.
In one small piece of hedge /
found one blackbirds and two
thrushes' nests all treated in the
same way. the three showing among
them the wreckage of IL eggs. all
similarly pierced and emptied. The
missed thrush has been suspected of
the offense, and in this case | should
suppose it to be the missed thrush if
ii, were not that a pair of butcher
birds nested in the same hedge
1t is perhaps unjust to suspect the
butcher bird on no better evidence
than its mere proximity to the scene
of the crime, and it may be Ques-
toned if the shrike would dare to
rifle the nest of either a blackbird or
a thrush. A suggestion which
have not seen made and which l
throw out only as a possibility is
that the culprit is no burglar. but
neither more nor less than one of
the parent birds themselves.

Trick in Dish Washing.

Where a great deal of dish washing
is necessary. it is a good plan to do
away with the drying of them. To
make this possible. in the average
household, a rack is now sold. 1t is
shaped like those photographers use
for negatives. only, of course, much
larger. After being rinsed with clean.
hot, water, the dishes can be set up
on edge in the rack and allowed to dry
by evaporation. All they need then
is a polish with ID dry towel as they
are placed on the table. One can wash
the dishes. go about other work and
return to find them all ready to put
away.

carnishino for Cold Dishes.

Cold dishes lend themselves more
readily to garnishing than hot ones
For all kinds of cold meats aspic jelly
is always acceptable and easily pre-
pared. 1t may be made of strong
clear chicken stock. using half pack
age Of gelatine TO each pint. Season
and put away to chill. Strained pulp
of fresh or canned tomatoes may be
used instead of chicken stock. Small
boiled or fried potatoes make an ex-
cellent garnish for fish, with the ad-
dition of parsley and lemon. Hard
boiled eggs are suitable with boiled
fish. Small vegetables, such as peas
and beans, and carrots and turnips
cut into small pieces are appropriate
with meat

Scorinn q Sink Board.

Have your sink board scored deeply,
either in parallel lines or those that
converge slightly toward the lower
end; and, of course. have the end
nearest the sink a full inch lower
than the opposite end is.
Then, when you are working, and
especially in cleaning times. the water
will run off of it's own accord.

Utensils for JeIly-Makinq.

For jelly-making a new granite or
enameled ware kettle is preferable to
the old-fashiOned porcelain-lined or
iron pot that has been in use year
after year. 1t is not an extravaganza
to buy new kettle each season. A
new wooden spoon is better than an
old one which has probably been used
for stirring catsup. chilli sauce, or
pickles. The wood retains the odor
OF onions, and the heat of the boil
ing fruit juice is apt to bring the
flavor out, which is often disagreeable.
After emptying a jelly glass or fruit
jar. it should be washed. the cover
replaced. and put away in the closet
for use next year. 1t is economy to
buy new rubber rings for your jars as
you need them.

NEW IDEA OF coNsumpr1ou.

London Doctor Says the Disease Is
Primarily Derived From Cattle.
A London physician, DR.. W. Picket
Turner, who has made first-hand
study Of the disease for many years,
advances the theory that the medical
world is attacking the problem of con-
sumption by an utterly false route.
His view, briefly stated, is that tub
erculosis is an animal disease primar-
lily derived, In all cases. from cattle,
1t belongs, he says, to the mycotlc
group Of diseases, diseases in which
the original source of infection is a
plant. Bovine cattle derive tubercu-
losis from timothy and other allied
grasses by natural affinity.
Man acquires the disease by Inpes.
ton or incubation, never by inhala-
ton. 1t is not hereditary; neither is
there any predisposition to 1t in the
individual. The bacillus in a state Of
nature Is saprophyte, feeding on decay
of the vegetable world. But the bacil-
lus becomes pathogenic-capable of
causing disease-in cattle when they
are deprived of actinism or the prop
erty of the chemical rays in sunlight
1t would, if all this be true, become
reasonable to assume that by restoring
actinlsm to cattle the bacillus would
again become saprohpyte. in which
case consumption would be extirpated.

With the Esklmos.

The experiences of this expedition
confirm the statement that 1t is the
practice of the Eskimo to change their
habitations with the movements of
game. AS is well known, the Franklin
expedition persisted Of starvation on
this very island because there was no
game In October, 1903, Amundsen's
party killed 100 deer, and on the 10th
day Of the month the Eskimo made
their appearance. They were of three
tribes, and came from different quar-
tiers; the Ogluli from the main Amer.
lean coast, the Netchilli from the west
coast, and the 1tchnachtorvik from
the east coast of Boothia Land. While
relations with the Itchnachtorviks
were generally satisfactory, yet in the
spring of 1904 these natives sadly in.
terfered with Amundsen's field work
by stealing his food catches on the
Boothian coast. The Ogluli and Net
chilli were most friendly, many of
the latter camping with him during
the darkest part of the winter of 1904

Some peep Mines.

Writing for Science" Professor
F. w. McNair says that three shafts
in the Lake Superior copper mining
district go down 1900, 5000 and $500
feet, respectively. These are pretty
nearly a mile deep. The writer says
that SO enormous is the weight of the
everything rock that a pillar so feet
wide and having open spaces of $50
feet on either side would be crushed
at depth of 5000 feet. Great care
must be exercised, therefore, in pro-
portioning the supports to the open
passages, or else mining would be inn
possible mile below the surface.
Another fact which puts a restriction
on mining at great depths is the ex-
pense of hoisting out ore. Most of the
work is done in the copper mines.
not by vertical lifting, but by railways
running up an incline. A third matter
which must be taken into considera-
ton is the temperature. AS a person
goes up in the free air from the sur
face of the earth, he finds that the
mercury falls about one degree for
every 300 feet. In like manner 1t rises
about degree for every 300 feet he
goes down in mine. The increase
for depth of mile would be 18
or II degrees Fahrenheit. In winter
this would not be serious, but in sum.
mer, with an outside temperature Of
80 or 95 in the shade, the change
would be near the limit of endurance.
Without special yentilating devices.
therefore, it would be impossible to
work much more than mile below
the surface.
