Making Home Pleasant

..Tt is not so much the attractions outside as it is the demon of dullness at home that drive young people rom home"

Apple Superstition

At this season of the year, when the apple is so abundant, it is interesting to know that there are some old supersti- tions concerning this fruit.
 Roman lovers used to take an apple pip between their fingers and thumb and shoot 1t up to the ceiling. If the pip reached it's destination it was regarded as sign that their love was returned.
 Another method once much used was to throw the pip into the fire, uttering the beloved ones name. If the pip burst with loud report 1t was a good sign, but if the pip burst silently it was a sign that the love would not last long.
 Many rustic lovers used to place tho pip. upon their closed eyelids, and if tho pips dropped off when the eyes were opened it denoted unfaithfulness.
 Swiss maidens often follow this custom. They buy an apple from an aged widow the uglier she is the better-and eat half of 1t with salted herring just be- fore the mystic hour of midnight. The other half of the apple is placed beneath the pillow and prophetic dreams are sure to follow.

man with a calling, no matter how hum- ble it is. has not the time for the miser- able pettiness that goes to make life bur- densome.
 The woman with an ambition is the wo- man with broad views. Her opinions are not rlveted to any one spot. Her view point is usually generous and movable.
 Her experience, in whatever occupa- tion she follows, gives her sympathy for other women, and she speaks of them and feels toward them in a charitable way which always makes friends for her.
 Each friend, new and old, to her is ac- cepted at an honest valuation. She knows how to enjoy the society of people who have accomplished something in life.
 Women and work! How noble the am- bition, and whether 1t is of the humblest sort or the successful queen of the pala- tiai home. it is something to be hon. oredi

Mothers Help Children In Se-
 lecting Gifts

What little girl exists who does not love to make things "all her own self'' for Christmas?
 The trouble with most of these gifts is not that they are not made neatly and daintily, but that they are of no earthly use to the favored one.
 Beauty may be tits own excuse for be- ing" provided 1t is real art but falling short of this 1t must be useful to be appreciated.
 How many well loved grandmothers have received at Christmas time pink scented plotting pads, and how many sis ters those ornate hatpin tubes that they never dream of using!
 The first thing that a little girl should do before she begins to make her Christ mas things is to consult with her mother and find out just what each member of the family wants in the way of home made gifts, and then proceed to make them.
 The tactful mother can give her little girl some very wholesome advice in this way, and the two can spend many pleas ant afternoons sewing and planning their Christmas work together.
 
 Grandmamma may not realize how much she needs a new covering firmly sewed on her pressing board, or how well couple of nice, fresh gingham aprons would answer for the housework sine oft en does.
 Grandpapa may be able to use spec tacle holder that can hang on the wall above the reading table and where he can always put his finger on his glasses. Either or all of these things may be easily accomplished by the clever little needle woman, and they will prove far more ac- ceptable than the thousand and one fool ish things made of quantities of ribbon and lace and which are never used.
 For her little girl friends there is all ways a demand for new and stylish clothes for the dolly" and let me tell you a secret: if you have trouble in find ing enough Scraps" in mothers scrap bag, you can buy the fiannelettes, prints, cheesecloth and a lot of other materials. the amount necessary of which would cost about cents, and with a little thought and patience could be made into dear little frocks and other garments.

Hoppe Reaches Majority
 And Challenges He World

discouraged at the way billiards was be- ing conducted in this country but I never gave up hope, for I knew that some day before many years I would be at the top of the heap where I am now. have my thanks to give my father. who has always stood behind me and en- couraged me even when things were most disheartening.
 If the billiard concerns of this coun- try would lend their aid to their own cause it would be only a question of a very short time when billiards would be as popular as it was 20 years ago.
 What can a billiard player, make to- day as conditions stand? Only fair living and you have to be champion at that. Twenty years back they had in this country from six to ten play CTS of championship calibre. They all made small fortunes and they were con tinually kept busy with tournaments and matches Why is it today that matches do not make 1t worth while to play? In the first place players are made to play one night matches. which are all ways unsatisfactory to players and the
 
 get busy start tournaments and matches that are more than one night affairs.
 Another view in regard to one night matches: You can put in two months of hard practice and on the night of play you may be not feeling well, the balls break badly, your opponent gets in a large run, or a dozen different things may occur which will cost you the match In three or four night match you can get started and during that number of points to be played everything will break near even.
 ''In order to excite competition and in- terest the younger generation, also to benefit myself financially, l have had a cushion made, which even surprised my self and it will surprise the billiard play CTS of the country. It is a cushion that will always remain the same under all conditions, thing which is often found fault with in my match plays heretofore Give the young players the right en- couragement in the way of cushions, something that will help them in their

Wife Too Smart for Husband.

Knoxville December IA special from Bristol says: William Hudson. who spent last night in the city jail here as the result of warrant sworn out by his wife, who charged that he had threatened her life, awoke to the full meaning of his incarceration this morning, when he learned that his wife had eloped with Ed Hyatt, a man who had been rooming in his home, and who assisted Mrs. Hudson in having her husband locked up. Upon learn ing the sequel this morning Mayor Rice ordered the release of Hudson from prison, and the latter went i'm mediately in search of his only child, a baby, who was taken by the elopers.

 Now, to show the public that I am sincere in my statement to help put bil- lizards where 1t belongs. here is chal- lenge to the world
 T will play any billiard player in the world three, four. five or six night match, 500 points a night, at either style of game, 18-ineh balkline, one shot or B-inch balkline, two shots for the sum of from 5000 to S10,00O, match to be played in any city agreed upon. l will play one- half number of points on the Willie Hoppe cushion and the other half on the cushion my opponent may select, or toss a coin and the winner of the toss can name the cushion.
 ''Now. let any of them step forward and accept this and see if I am not the champion of them all at both styles of game. Respectfully,

Willie Hoppe, the famous young bil- ing communication to the sporting ed- itor of The Age-Herald, requesting its publications
 As have just passed my twentyfrst birthday and being capable of handling my own interests, I wish to place before the public my plans for the future.
 From this day on I have made up my mind to sever my connections with any one billiard concern and devote the future of my profession in a different manner.
 Tn the first place one must stop and consider the disadvantages a player is subjected to when under contract to a billiard concern. Although the salary paid to a player has always been con- sdered fair remuneration by nearly all the billiard players who have been at one time or other under contract to some one billiard concern, have thought the matter over carefully and can say truthfully that my views are altogether different.
 Billiards today is not what it should be and that is why I feel this way r Is about time that the public should know the true facts in regard to billiards of today, for if they do not find them out now they will later
 Being young and having a brilliant future I intend to devote my time to elevate billiards to the standard where it belongs.
 "Why should there be in this country at the present time only two players of championship calbre. they being Sutton and myself? There should be with all the billiard rooms that we have at least six players of championship class. There Is no need of scarcity of good players as if billiards was given the right attention.
 Although say it myself, I have been the only young player since the time of Ives that has come to the front and become a champion. In times past I was

Economy In Cereal Cooking

When cereal is not cooked in a double boiler. there is often a waste, for much of the food will cling to the bottom of the utensil. This, however, may be avoid ed by setting the receptacle in a pan of boiling water for five minutes before serving. The steam will moisten the food, which ordinarily clings to the sides of the vessel.

Lieutenant Elkins Describes
Graphically How Feather Eye,
Pet Horse, Died in Harness.

That the fire which swept through the
Salvage Corps building in Washington
street Saturday morning and destroyed
$4,000 worth of property was acciden-
tai, and that no one was to blame for
its quick spread and the death of the
five horses, is the verdict of the New
ark Fire Underwriters Association.
Fireman Robert Arbuckle, who was
on duty at 1885 when the fire was
first discovered in the stable, was
closely questioned at the investigation
yesterday. He was held blameless, as
his comrades all testified in his favor,
and it was shown that he had made an
entry in the journal a few minutes be-
fore the blaze was discovered.
The electrician employed by the as
ISOLATION to examine the building re-
ported that in his opinion the fire had
not been started by a live wire. SUI
perintendent Martins theory is that a
match lad been dropped in the bedding
of a stall and ignited by the stamping
Of q horse.
Lieutenant Elkins told of the manne
in which Feather Eye, the faithful
horse which was the pet of the corps,
lost his life. He said that the fright
ened animal had stuck to his post under
the harness, even when his tail was
ablaze, resisting all efforts at rescue.
He had asked Policeman Byrne not to
shoot it, he said, because the horse
was nearly dead when Byrne offered to
shoot it.
