HOMEMADE BEER.

A Tonic; Certainly, and II Used With
Perseverance an lntoxIcant Also.
when the book beer comes in in
the spring it sets me back forty
years." said the man who was pen
sively drawing on an unlighted cigar
In the club lounging room, and hear
my grandfather say, as he did every
year when the languor OF spring be-
gan to be felt, I guess it's time we
had our tonic.'
$50 he'd give me a big basket to
carry and forth we'd go into the
woods. never knew all the shrubs
and plants he used to gather and put
into my basket, but there was more
juniper than anything else.
He'd just tramp along peering to
right and left, and when his eye lit
on something he wanted he'd pick it
or cut it and dump it into the basket.
THAT night he'd take all this green
stuff and boil it. What else he did
to it don't know, but the next day
a big red crock in the pantry would
be full of whitish fluid which had
somewhat the appearance of matted
milk.
Gle called the stuff beer, and that
was why mother wouldn't let me have
any Of it. The name convinced her
that it must be had for little boy
But drank glass of it once on the
sly. It was bitter stuff, and l didn't
try it again.
'Now that beer certainly had tonic
properties; at least it seemed to
spruce up those who drank it. Some
times it did more than that. I didn't
know it then, but as look back on it
now some folks on the farm would
get fair souse on that homemade
beer if they perse7ered. And most
of them persevered."

A TEXAS CYCLONE YARN.
Storm Carried for Miles 5o0-Foot
Column Of Water Topped by Tree.

Storm Carried for Miles a 5oo-Foot
Column Of Water Topped by Tree.
E. F. Turner of Hamilton county
said: Il was riding horseback across
the country Thursday and passed
through the town of Meridian. where
took dinner. After dinner l started
toward Waco, and had hard time
on account of high water.
cat about $3.50 p. n. was, few
miles from Clifton, when found
cyclone chasing me, and I galloped
away from it as fast as my horse
could carry me. Presently I found
that it had passed me, and l sat on
the brow of hill and watched it's
course. 1t was carrying along much
debris, and when it struck the Bosque
river it sucked up all the water, leav-
ing the bed of the river practically
empty. 1t crossed the Bosque OBJ
liquely, and the water it took out Of
the stream was carried upward in
column which appeared to me to be
about 500 feet high.
"The most remarkable part OF this
phenomenon was the fact that it had
torn up by the roots a big tree. and
the tree was on top of the column OF
water, waving ike plume. When the
column of water broke the tree went
sailing on and fell about half mile
from where it was taken up"

The Retort Courteous.

A young man in hurry went
through the left side of pair of
swinging doors in the senate wing of
the capitol at Washington last session
and almost knocked over the late
Senator Pettus of Alabama, who was
about to push through the right side.
The young man apologized profuse-
". Il am very sorry-I didn't know
I was-I am in great hurry"
That's all right, son." said the
venerable Pettus. but let me give YOU
piece of advice about going through
doors like these. Always go through
en- the right side, and turn to the
right. Then, if you meet anybody
coming through and bump into him
you needn't apologize. He'll be a
burned fool, and it won't be necessary.

One on Mr.. Clark.

Representative Champ Clark fire.
quently visited Washington before his
election to the house, and thought he
was pretty we'll known there. On one
occasion he went to the capital on
business for client. He was sur.
prised and pleased to meet an old
friend and townsman at the hotel Mr..
Clark had selected for his stay.
"Well, we'll, if it isn't Brown!" ex.
claimed Mr.. Clark.
I'm glad to see you. Is there any
thing can do for you?"
Then Mr.. Clark took his friend by
the arm and marched him to the
hotels desk, saying:
II can do you one good turn, any.

had reached that functionary, this is
my friend, Mr.. Brown; 1 want you to

If she is provided with an outfit such
as department stores sell. Think,
soft gloves are made to wear when
lifting pots and heavy stove attach
ments; thinner ones come for the pur-
pose Of protecting the hands while
sweeping or busting; then there are
rubber gloves to put on while washing
dishes. Caps, gloves and nose and
mouth protectors are made to adjust
before beginning to sweep. The sani-
tary craze has invaded the kitchen
with considerable force, and no mod

How Sad.

Dramatic Author Mr.. Manager,
may venture to ask whether my
three-act play has been accepted?
Manager-Well, you see, the three
members of the reading committee
have gone through it, and they have
come to- the conclusion that one act
will have to be cut out.
Author-Oh, there is no difficulty
about that; it is not so bad after all.
Manager-No; but unfortunately
each of the members wants to strike
out different act.

be.
The tables for drying dishes should
be adjacent to the sink. In many
kttchens-in fact in the majority Of
the rented ones-this necessity is
overlooked entirely, and sometimes
there is no drying table at all, which
means that the dishwasher must dry
each dish separately and then walk to
the end Of the room to put it away or
to far distant table and leave it
till she is ready to place several of
them in the closet. A dish rack is
great labor saver and reduces the
number of steps to minimum when
this part of the domestic work is in
progress. Racks are sold in the shops
to hold dishes Of different kinds.

ing floor covering for the kitchen. 1t

Rats in a Train,

A traveller by the night train from
Peterborough to Grimsby complained
that while doing an animal of some
sort had run over his face. The rail-
way officials did not take serious no.
tice of the complaint until the next
night, when another passenger made a
similar complaint.
Then it was discovered that the
train was infested with rats and it has
been taken off so that it may be clear
ed of the pests.-London Standard.

are made in different sizes and shapes
with long handles, and the brush part
Of bits of channels. These are much
easier to use and more efficacious in
drying than cloth and the handles
make them convenient for reaching
far corners.
To cover the broom when it is re-
qutred for removing the duct from pol
ished floors soft cloth cases come
ready to slip over the broom end and
tie securely at the top. These can be
washed and kept sanitary, and they
are less trying to the housekeeper
than wiping the floor up on their
hands and knees.
Pot cloths, dust cloths, sink clean
ers and mop cloths are sold ready for
use. The old way of utilizing pieces
of flannel and WORKOUT sheets has
been abandoned and now all sorts and
sizes of ready-to-use cloths for clean
ing purposes are to be bought for a
small sum on the household counter.
When they get too soiled for use it
not worth while to have them
cleansed. For a few cents they can
be replaced by fresh ones. The par
ticular housekeeper sets aside a, shelf
in the pantry or a drawer in the china
and tin closet where she keeps an as
sortment of such cleaning materials.

pantry and kitchen. They come In

and each has the name Of the ingredi-
emit 1t is to hold. Some Of the sets
have German lettering, while others
are In English. Shelves to hold these
jars are necessity in a kitchen. They
should be arranged neatly and rather
close together and with some idea Of
fitness. Size is an important factor
in the arrangement, but when several
of the same size are to go on one shelf
little discrimination should be used,
and when once place has been de-
cided upon for jar it should always
be kept In that one place. This ar
rangement will make it easy for the
cook to find in a minute just the thing
she wants, whether it is granulated
sugar or borax.
Spice tins are less expensive and
they serve as we'll as the porcelain,
though they are not so ornamental.
They are highly enameled and are
usually square. They have fitted tops
instead of shallow lids, as the porce-
lain ores have, and they are found in
a greater variety of tints.
The kitchen sink is more important
than architects are willing to consider
it. AS rule the sink is placed in any
corner convenient to the water pipes
and where space will admit it. To be
properly built the sink should occupy
a place under window or near one,
so that there is plenty of light when
washing the dishes, preparing vege-
tables or doing the other tasks which
must be accomplished in this particu-
lar part of the kitchen. Then the
sink should not be too far away from
the dish closet, otherwise the maid is
forced to take many more steps than
she should. When the sink is in the
opposite end Of the kitchen from the
pantry it makes kitchen work harder

AND NOW THEY DON'T SPEAK.
Whispering Stones in statuary Hail
Completed Enlargement.

Who hasn't heard or experimental
with the famous whispering gallery"
In statuary hall? Really, the phenom.
enon should be called the whisper
ing Stones" for two persons stand
ing exactly on these stones and sep
arated by the wide expanse of the
great vaulted chamber can carry on
low-toned conversation. A capitol
guide tried to explain the why of it
to me once, but got all tangled up
and failed miserably, says writer in
the Washington Star. l suppose it is
merely that by some sort of outra-
geously complicated acoustic the hui
man voice, starting as a soft-spoken
word from one of these stones, is
phonographically treated and magni-
he'd until 1t is regular below when
1t arrives at the other. But this isn't
the whispering stones, but concerns a
congressional feud they started.
There are two Democrats in the
house from the same southern state
who have never been particularly i'm.
pressed with each other, but who have
always taken the greatest pains to
remain on the most friendly terms.
Let's call them Jones and Smith, and
explain their courtesy by saying that
Jones, although he didn't like Smith,
thought Smith likes him and vice
versa.
But it's all over now, for one day
last week Jones was standing in stat.
uary hall talking with constituent
and the conversation turned on Smith.
There were few people scattered
around the. hall, but Jones, always
cautious, spoke in almost a whisper
But in that whisper he relieved his
mind. He called Smith everything he
could think of from a conceited, pin.
headed ass up. And after he had con-
cluded his peroration and had paused
to draw a long breath he nearly
dropped dead when, apparently out of
the clear sky, came, in an enraged
roar, the voice of Smith. And Smith
started off with "Snake!" and from
that he branched out and became clio
quent.
When Jones recovered his presence
of mind he began to glance around
and far across statuary hall, standing
en- one of the whispering stones
which, it might be explained, are not
marked in any wayne saw Smith,
gesticulating violently and apparent
ly talking to himself, for there was nc
one within yards of him. But every
word that he said reached Jones, and
in minute he was barking back. The
spectacle was perfectly idiotic, but
this fact didn't appeal to either Jones
Or Smith at the time.
And now they don't even speak;
also, the tale having been spread
around by dear friends of both par
ties, members of the house are be-
ginning to be careful what they say
in passing through statuary hail.

somewhat tndiscreet whispering
