FOR THE HoUsEKEEPER.

A good dish-cloth is made of several
thicknesses of cheese cloth neatly fin
ished.
A good dessert for luncheon is warm
gingerbread served with whipped
cream. Cut the gingerbread in gener-
Gus pieces and put spoonful of the
whipped cream on each piece served
on fancy plate.
pretty way to serve fresh fruit for
dessert is to cut fine oranges, bananas
and grapes, sweeten and serve in half
q banana skin. The large red bananas
make the best 'fruit-boots."
Keep the following articles in the
kitchen, either hung on the wall or on
a low shelf: Clock, scissors, needle
book with large needles for trusting,
small for making bags, etc. ball of
white cotton yarn, string-ball and
string-bag, pin cushion.

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.

This is known as "Blood-Cleaning
Time" especially among the Older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood OF
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak'
ing well in bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores
pimIIes or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

HAD NERVE, BUT NO MONEY.
Unlucky Mans Modest Request fof
Pecuniary Assistance.

RAYMOND Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orleans few months
ago, took the opportunity of going 10
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result OF
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started Tor
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt a hand on his arm, and a man
shouted in his ear:
Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put q crimp in the bookies
to-day"
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.
Say, l want to speak to you con-
fidentially," said the stranger.
All right; what is it," asked the
comedian.
well, | am up against some hard
luck to-day. They cleaned me and I
want to get home. Now, don't let
any one of these people see you, but
slip me enough for car fare, will
you?"
Sure" said Hitchcock, placing his
hand in his pocket. Then he paused
and queried: Where do you live?'
Vancouver" was the answer.
Hitchcock took a flying leap for his
machine, and unless the visitors at
New Orleans are more gullible the
impecunious one is still looking for
car fare-Harper's Weekly.
It's easy to laugh at misfortune
when it visits the other fellow.

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT
English Writer Sees Significance ir
Glorification of Robbers.

The idea Of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as an institu-
ton, says writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages, it
may be noted, have been those which
described alphabetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, tho litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale, the
literature that is sold in the small
general" shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillings, still very largely
deals with the romantic exploits Of
the robber. He is never villain; he
is noble and generous to fault; but
he is convinced Of the improperly of
persons having too much money.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son, when about year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
Of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end Of about year and half Of suf-
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk.
sent to the drug store and got cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end Of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura REM
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

THOUGHT HIM A LUNATIc.
Mans Queer tumble Of Words War;
ranted the Inference.

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha-
vens chamber of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured If every time
he felt that he must have a drink he
would Immediately take something to
eat instead.
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit Of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic He was stopping at hotel
and, hearing a great commotion in the
room next to his, he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.
He saw, and rushed madly down to
the Office and shouted to the clerk:

ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by Philpotts
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, THE River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years / drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when l realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, concluded TO
try it. ] had it carefully made, accord
ing TO directions, and found TO my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that | no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
flag, and that | could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, am satisfied
'As table beverage we find (for all
the members of my family use IT'D that
when properly made it is most refresh
ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is, however,
necessary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are likely
TO neglect the thorough boiling which
IL must have in order to extract the
goodness from the cereal." Name given

A $4,000 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury in
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the Iictim of a $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation Of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, it was assumed
that it was the work of some one I'M
connected with the office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before a clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was ac-
Quainted with professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed,, whereupon he confessed the
robbery = which was accomplished by
showing the package of notes, all Of
large denominations, into position
where they could be "snaked up"
with cane provided with hook.
