Thing is not only used in the bath
room, but is becoming popular for the
vestibule and conservatory.
In making cheese balls to serve
with lettuce course, work ground
nuts into the cheese and note the de-
Iicious flavor this imparts.
A new idea is to serve marshmalloW
on a cup of chocolate. 1t softens the
marshmallow and gives dainty flavor
to the chocolate.
When making apples or any fruit
pie always place the quantity Of sugar
required on lower crust first and 1t
will bake more satisfactorily.
Keep a supply of emery paper IN
the kitchen as it removes rust and bad
blemishes from the stove and is also
useful for cleaning rust from any OF
the kitchen articles.
For a housewife who does her OWL
work a one-piece white oilcloth apron
with bib and sleeves, bound with
white tape, protects dresses and saves
laundering of shirt waists and kitchen

To clean plaster of paris pieces
brush as clean as possible, then give
a coating Of whiting and water. You
pieces will look like new. When very
dirty wash carefully, dry and brush
with the liquid whiting.

washinaton,s WhIte Squirrel.

There are probably a thousand
gray squirrels in the various parks
in and about Washington" said an
old gentleman who walks great deal.
"but there is only one white one that
| have ever seen or heard of in my
rambles about the District. He
think it's a male-has his home among
the trees in the somewhat unfre.
ouented part of the Mall between
Third and Four-and One-Half streets.
He has been there for over a year,
and the people III the neighborhood
who have made mis- acquaintance cali
him the albino' because of his white
fur and pink eyes. At first he was
perfectly wild, and disappeared at
the first sound of approaching foot
! steps. But now he is tame and con
fding, and will eat out of the hands
of people who approach him proper
" with offerings Of nuts, just like the
more familiar gray squirrels. Like
them. too. he has fear of dogs anC
children. especially boys. who some
/ times tease the animals by offerins
| them stones, ETC., instead of nuts. MI
own experience with the albino
shows that while he is somewfla
cbary of strangers at first. he will
make friends with them when salts

and edible nuts are il plain eyi

pairxlna In New Zealand.

The progress of the dairying indur-
try in New Zealand continues at a
marvellous rate. According to the
latest computation there are now
$4,000 dairy COWS producing more
than 100000 pounds of butter a
year Twelve years ago there were
AZ factories, now there are 229. In
addition there are 500 private daIrtes,
while cheese factories now numbe 80
and skimming stations 451. The up
to-date department of agriculture has
recently raised the standard of but,
ter manufactured on private farms;
and a further innovation has been
to appoint woman inspector to visit
these farms for the purpose OF giving
advice and information to the wives
and daughters of the dairymen.

Ruth said she intended calling there,
but she has been out all afternoon,
, and suppose, changed her mind
There was a hint of sternness in
DIR. Wilmots voice:
Il am just from Mrs. Martin. She
is very much better. Miss Joslin has
been there all afternoon and desired
me to tell you not to expect her home
till later
Honora shook her dead disapprov.
ingly.
THAT is just like Ruth. She re.
fused to go with me this morning. She
will never learn to do things like
other people. all glad your patient
is improved, and that you gave me
the opportunity to call upon her this
morning"
For week Ruth held her self-im-
| posed post of duty, vastly to the Mar
| tin family's comfort and Harvey VIII.
mot's admiration.
Then, when strong handed kindly
Dorcas came from the city, the girl
still kept up her cheering visits to the
/ invalid.
1t was a warm June evening, long
after the young doctor and Ruth had
ceased their professional visits" that
! the pair met at the Martin home. This
was one of several pleasant evenings
that they had spent with the family.
AS they we're leaving together, Mrs
Martin said, laughingly:
| Harvey, have always thought that
Ruth should have been given half the
honor of my restoration to health"
81 shall try to persuade Miss Ruth
into verbal acceptance of the hall
of my success, Mrs. Martin
Superstitious people say that there
is witchery in the moon. Perhaps
once out doors, it's spell kept the
couple quiet, for nothing was said a
first.
Then suddenly the slender fingers
resting on DR.. Wilmot's coat sleeve
were covered closely with his RICH
hand, and then he began to talk earn
) estly.
They walked slower and slower, un
til they were inside Ruth's gate, AM
then, screened by friendly syring'
bush, they stopped altogether AM
their voices ceased.

the ivy canopy, saw the two figure

Heart and Emotions.

In addition to those bodily move
ments which are called voluntary,
various bodily phenomena which are
clearly involuntary accompany violent
mental excitement. The blush OF
shame, the distinctive Pushes Of JOY
and of anger, the pallor and sweat OF
fear, the tears Of grief, and the creep
ing of the flesh provoked by horror,
are familiar examples. The respira-
ton is quickened by JOY and retarded
by anxiety, and the feeling of relief
finds expression in a deep sigh. VIC
lent emotions often disturb the diges-
ton. The heart bounds with JOY" is
paralyzed by horror, leaps to the
throat in terror. The connection be,
tween the heart and the emotions is Sc
intimate that the heart was long re
garded as the seat of the soul. Most
of these involuntary physical con
comitants of mental excitement are
brought about by special part OF the
ASTVUuS SySISIiis LllS ~ AALPG1ASSAS AA~@ -

every part of the body. The best
known branches are those that govern
the dilatation of the blood vessels

the Scientific American. are suscepti

result is fairly accurate measurement
Of the variation of blood supply in tn

which is balanced on fulcrum

ject is quiet and undisturbed tn
board lies horizontal. Now, if an III
pleasant sensation or emotion is II
duced in the subject, his head is il
voluntarily elevated, indicating din

brain. An agreeable sensation or emf
ton produces the opposite effect.

IN HANDS OF RING
ARTIFICIAL VALUE GIVEN WASH.
tNGToN REAL ESTATE.
Government as Well as Residents Is
Compelled to Submit TO the Ex.
tortions of the Owners
of Property.

There is no doubt that real estate
ring holds Washington by the throat.
Houses have been known to stand idle
In Washington for two years at
stretch because the owners would not
reduce the rent to a fair price. In
the end it is probable that the price
will be got by the owner. Homeseek-
ers are not the only sufferers in this
respect The people of the whole
country are pouring thousands of dol
lars into the pockets of the real estate
ring in Washington every year In pay
ment of rents for government offices.
| Shell-like buildings such as the cen
| sus office, are frequently made to pay
for themselves in the course OF four
or five years, after which the pront
to the owner is simply enormous. The
government now, despite the growing
number of its buildings, is paying
annual rentals which net 4 per cent
| income on a total valuation OF S2S,-
900, 900. The total value of every
building in Washington now occupied
| by a government office. including the
ground upon which it stands, is not
worth one-third of this amount Ii ii
were not for the government it 1s
more than probable that the owners
of many of these buildings would
have to scrape the town for tenants
at a much reduced rental and IN
some instances the buildings woulo
never have been erected at all ane
the ground upon which they stane
would be vaacnt lots.
There is still another angle to the
real estate ring in Washington. A
bridge and it's approaches cost in ex
neighhorhood of the geological park
which connected wide break in Con
necticut avenue, fashionable resi-
dence street, due to ravine. Tit
bridge and its approaches cost in ex
cess of s1,000,00O On the city ent
of the bridge, previous to its con
struction, the piece of property con
formed to the usual high price
which prevail all over Washington
On the suburban end. where, up t
that time, no houses stood, the price
were comparatively moderate. Sine

THE VICTIM or HIS OWN LAW.
Predicament of George p. Mccabs

George P. McCabe, solicitor OF the
department of agriculture, had an ex.
perience a few weeks ago which proc

McCabe was the author of that pro-

which forbids any railroad to trans

During hot spell some time ago
he asked a number of men to dine

wife that as the ice box was low
1t would be wise to replenish the meat
supply. Mrs McCabe dutifully came

The Way That Won
BY Belle Field
(Copyright.)

Harvey Wilmot had never ex'
changed more than the merest com,
monplaces with Ruth Joslin; perhaps
because she had always appeared in
different to him, and that she was
usually overshadowed by her more
beautiful cousin, but as he walked
away, he experienced strange feel
ing in the cardiac region, and he
thought how sweet she looked presid'
ing at the table.
Through the open window curtains
of Honoras home he saw that young
lady, reading. Radiant in gown oil
light blue and white lace, her golden
hair soft on neck and brow, and be
side her huge blue bowl, rioting full
Of pink roses, she looked like an ex
quisite piece in Dresden china.
II suppose you have just come from

thought of her very often to-day

clerks formed a party for their first
appearance, for the reason that UP to
this time roller skating has been con-
sidered the prerogative of children
and not generally INDUCED in by
grown people outside of Kinks.
M. O. Chance, chief clerk, led the
party, which made its way down Six
teenth street as the most desirable
thoroughfare.
1t is expected that the organization
of this concerted movement in the di.
rection of practical roller skating will
place the sport upon a basis similar
to that once enjoyed by the bicycle.
The miles of smooth asphalt streets
in Washington unobstructed by much
heavy traffic make it an ideal city for
skating. Thousands of young men
and women go 20 work in the
departments daily and need not
only the exercise which roller skat
ing to the Office will give. but the
price of car tickets as well.

Speaking of the honesty of banks
and few of them cause loss through
deliberate dishonesty-George KEENAN,
In McClure's pertinently, but perhaps
q little unkindly, recalls the expert
ence of a San Francisco bank showing
that depositors are not always to be
trusted. After the earthquake, &C.
cording to the story, the German Ma
tional bank, which had lost all its
books, asked it's customers to state
the amounts they had on deposit. The
officers knew precisely the amount
they had lost in the aggregate, but did
not have a record of the individual &C
counts. The sums specified by the
depositors exceeded the known depos'
its of the bank by more than $4,000
This showed that customers were TAX
ing advantage Of the situation, but
rather than question their honesty tbs
bank charged the amount to profit and
loss and paid all demands in full
This true story should teach the aver
age man who rails against corpora
tions that perhaps he isn't to be trust
ed himself.

Must "Trip" or Be ostracized.

Washington servants may not be
acquainted with the term back

use the term tip" but they are star
specimens of all those two institutions
imply. There are more than 100000
negroes in Washington. large ma
iority of whom are employed as house
hold servants and in other mental ca
pacities. No one knows the state of a
poeketbook better than they DO. A
moor man may be assured of service
given grudgingly as though he were
the cause of a loss of time and money
to the servant Let him undergo a
change in financial condition for the
better, however, aid the exasperating
manner in which the servants OF
Washington will hang on his heels

The Spread Of Temperance.

To drinking, says Lecky. must be at
tributed most Of the crime and an
immense proportion Of the misery OF
his nation; and what is true of Eng
land is true of the United States. AS
the beginning of most violent crime
on a big scale in English history Is
parallel with the spread of strong
drink, so in our country crimes OF vio-
lence, crimes of debauchery, political
corruption, the waste of wages, the
ruin of families, all have their home
and origin in the saloon. Civilization
will not be success until the saloon
is but memory Of what men once
endured West and south in the Unit
ed States to-day the path to temper
ance is being followed with more de-
termination than ever in the history
of our country. In more territory is
the saloon made illegal, and in a
greater part of this territory is public
opinion sufficiently strong to make
prohibition a success. When it Is a
success, life will be brighter for the
wives and children of hundreds OF
thousands of fathers and husbands.
