Don't Be a Hoarder.

Now that spring housekeeping is on
US. don't dust and clean the same old
things you never intend to use and put
them back in the same pace to be
hOusecleaned another year. Give
them away or throw them out. Here
is what a woman found in her attic.
An old tricycle. that on one ever in
tended to ride, a big bundle of old
wall paper. two piles Of dusty old mag
azines that no one ever intended to
read, oldfashioned curtain fixtures
that were broken, hangers full of old
clothes, paper boxes heaped high full
of trash" and an old broken rocker.
When asked what she was keeping
them for, she admitted that she didn"
know. She was persuaded to get rid
of the stuff, and that attic is now q
cheerful little room, coy as can be,
the gathering place of her friends in
stead of a dingy old trash room.
SO don't save your things to give
them away when they are no good to
any one. Give them away as soon as
you find they are of no use to you.
They will help some one in some way.

Histrionic Topers.

Junius Brutus Booth was VIGOROUSLY
Incorporate and one of the accusa-
tions which was brought oftenest
against Edwin Forrest was that he
drank too often to excess.
Yet only last year a comedian who
had BEEN fairly prominent in musical
comedy fell from the water wagon
with such a thud that when he came
to himself he was in the psychopathic
ward at hospital. An understudy had
been secured in time and there
really had been mo great damage done
to the piece in which the leading act
or appeared. Still his managers were
so disguised with him that they gave
him his notice and engaged another
actor in his stead.
Edwin Booth drank a great deal
more in his youth than he did later in
life He had gone about the country
with his father a great deal and in
that father had seen so much misery
that drink is capable of inniCting that
he became temperate. He, too, admit
ted that he had been under the in
fluence of wine during one performance.
It was his custom in the later years
of his life to go to his room from the
theater and there read far into the
night and drink stout and porter. He
never was a convivial drinker
The temptations that surround an
actors life often make drinkers OF
men who, were they in some other
pursuit, would not be upon such good
terms with the winecup. An actor
lives in hotels, in hundreds of hotels,
and about the only places that are
open after his nights work is done
are the drink shops. Still there are
actors that never have touched a drop
of intoxicating liquor in their lives.
The late Francis Murphy, the temper-
ance advocate, had scores of them up
on his honor lists.

Poor, Forgotten SaIaried Man.

indianapolis News.-We do not
criticise the action of the New Haven
road. We simply point to the rather
hard lot of the salaried man who
seems to have so few friends. Peo-
pie do not often think of him. The
great trusts on one side and the
great labor unions on TIE other absorb
so much of our attention that we have
little time to reflect on the sorrows
of the rather helpless class that stands
between these giants. School teach
ers, travelling men, agents-no one
cares anything about these people.
They belong to sort of forgotten
class. But they are remembered when
victims are wanted for the sacrifice.
We do not suppose that there is any
thing to do about it except possibly
to call attention occasionally TO the
injustice of the thing Only a few
days ago Gompers said that he and
his associates would not permit wages
to be reduced. Possibly they ought
not to be reduced But his argument
is that wages which have been ad-
NSlilOSu uSdNlty Ou the GROUND (udl
times were good must be kept at pre-
cisely the same level, no matter how
bad times might be. Salaries, on the
other hand, which have not been
raised in good times, must be re
duced in bad times.
The contrast between the two cases
is interesting. Altogether, the lot OF
the man working for a small salary
is not a pleasant one. High prices
crush him in prosperous eras, ana
falling prices cripple him when pros,
perity passes. 1t seems to us that
we ought to give some thought to this
very large and almost helpless class.
SO little do we think of the people
who belong to it that we do not even
regard them as working people. AS
a matter of fact, they toll hard and
often for a very inadequate reward.
But they get salaries rather than
wages or profits, and it is on them
that the chief burden falls.

How the Normal Girls Tried to Describe;
a Crush to Out of Town Mary

lis that the girl who had the crush be-
lieved it all"
Out-of-Town Mary laughed heartily.
why, l guess she was foolish if
she believed all that trash" she said.
Several more typical brushes were
described, and finally the girls were
all ready to draw their own conclu-
sions. What is a crush?
The girl who was even then dream
ing Of some ones great dark eyes and
winning manner announced calmly
y have a good definition A crush is
a girls great unrequited love for one
of her superiors!"
Mary, who never had a crush,
laughed heartily. Goodness, that
sounds quite melodramatic!" she ex-
claimed.
But the exception, the girl with the
.leVel-head, the girl who never had a
crush announced have a better
one. Listen, and remember. A crush
is an expression of youthful idiocy
hOpelessly expended"
Don't you believe her, Mary; just
forget what was said. She doesn't
know what she is talking about AS
if a crush could be anything so horrid
as that"
But the EXCEPTIONS definition was
pretty good, at that. An expression
of youthful idiocy hopelessly ex-
pended. A crush! The girl who
formed that definition certainly knew
what she was talking about a great
deal better than did the girls who
mercilessly mobbed her.
From the time when the girls enter
the Introductory year until their grad
uation they are open to the influence
of their teachers, all fine women who
have a lasting influence over their
pupils. Of course, it is a pretty bad
thing, the crush, when it is carried to
extremes, but the good, wholesome ad-
miration and companionship is GER
.tainly beneficial. 1t is, at any rate,
lots Of fun for the girls to stand in
little groups about the doors of the

THE EYE AND STRONG LIGHTS.
Ground Ground Globes Should Be GEN
orally Used.


The eyes are injured by exposure to
naked lights, and the injurious effect
increases both with the brightness and
with the area of the source of light.
But no matter what the area may be,
the Illuminating power per square cen
timeter Of that area cannot safely ex
coed 0.75 Hefner candle, says the
Scientific American. In order to fol-
low the increase of brightness OF arti-
fetal light from the beginning Of civil
iZatiOn to the present day, | have
measured 40 sources of light, extend
ing from the pine torch and the an
cient Roman oil lamp to the metallic
filament electric lamp and the mean
descent gas lamp. Of these only the
pine torch, candles, open rape-oil
lamps and fiat kerosene and. gas bur
ners fall within the limit of safety.
All other lights should be incIosed- il
ground glass or matt glass globes.
This applies to the tubular, central
draft kerosene burner, which is now
SO commonly used, and to acetyelene
and all incandescent gaslights.
ncandescent electric lights are still
brighter, and their brightness in
creases with their candle-power. The
most dazzling of all artificial sources
.of light, with the exception of the
electric arc, are the new metaalic-fiIa-
ment lamps, and particularly the
Nerst lamp.
OF all lights now dseG. only candles
and fiat kerosene and gas flames fall
within the limit of OTIS Hefner candle
per square centimeter Of Illuminating
surface. The round kerosene burner
exceeds this limit five-fOId, the carbon
filament gaslight eight-fold, the carbon
filament about 100-foId the new me-
talic flament 270-foId, the Nerst lamp
550-fold, and the electric arc 4000-fold.
The competition among various sys-
TENS Of lighting too often leads to the
employment of naked or insufficiently
protected lights, in order to produce
the greatest Illuminating effect in
proportion to cost. In most cases in
which globes are used, they are added
for artistic effect or to increase the il
Illumination at certain points. In other
words, the ceiling, rather than the
eye, is protected from the direct rays
of the lamp.
The best system of Illumination for
schOol-roOms, factories and offices Is
the indirect system, in which the
sources of light are concealed and the
light is reflected from ceilings. walls
and other large surfaces. Where this
is impracticable. all lights which ex-
coed the safe limit of brightness
should be completely inclosed in non
transparent globes of such character
and construction that they appear as
uniformly luminous surfaces. The
globes should be made of a kind 81
glass that absorbs the ultraviolet
rays. These particularly injurious
rays are largely eliminated by the in
direct method of illumination.

Last Years Preserves.

With the shelves well filled with
this seasons jams, jellies and pre-
serves, what to do with the leftover
condiments from last year is d prob
lem that confronts the housewife.
They are far too good to give away,
for they represent much time and CON
siderable expense. There are number
less dainties that can be made, util-
izing these jams and jellies of last
years make, and here are few that
should appeal to one and all.
One of the simplest ways o. using
up jams is to make pie crust and
line a dozen individual cake tins with
the pastry, put in the oven AMI cook
to a golden brown. When this crust is
cold fill the individuals with jam,
and add to each a heaping tablespoon
ful Of whipped cream, or make a mer-
ingue and set in the oven to brown.
This is a very popular French des-
sert and to the person who loves pas
try it is a great relief from the regu-
lation pie.
Another simple and pretty dessert
is made by putting a layer of jelly or
jam in the bottom Of a glass dish.
over this pour a little boiled tapioca
pudding, then another layer of the
jelly. Served from a glass dish this is
very attractive dessert.
French pancakes are dessert much
liked, particularly by the male ele-
ment To make these, take one Dint of
milk, two eggs, one tablespoon of
sugar, one cup Of flour, one tablespoon
full Of baking powder, one cup cream,
pinch of salt. Sift the -four, powder
and salt together, add to it the eggs
beaten with the sugar and diluted with
the milk and cream, mix into thin bat
ter on a large frying pan, put on hot
fire and when well done spread with
any kind of preserves, roll up, sift
over them plenty of sugar and glaze
with a red-hOt poker.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Tea is a term which has had some
curious applications, according to lead
ing authorities A great variety Of
beverages and decoctions made from
herbs and plants unknown in China
or India have been called "teas," in
imitation Of the genuine article. In
early tea-drinking days, when fragrant
Bohea was sold for twelve or twenty
shfllings pound, poor folk, who could
not afford such luxury, endeavored
to content themselves with drink
from less expensive leaves. A great
favorite of old was sage tea, which
was regarded not only as a pleasant
but particularly wholesome bever-
age Another popular drink was ginger
tea. IN Revolutionary days in this

is a quart can of the best soup Of
which you have any knowledge.
Chicken Soup.
This makes a delicious bisQue, when
a cupfuI of cold veal or a can of chick
en-, chopped is stirred in, With a
half cupfuI of dry, seasoned crumbs
A finer soup can be based upon
chicken broth by making egg balls,
such as are described in the next
recipe, and putting them into the
boiling broth. Have ready cupful OF
scaIding milk, stir in a tablespoonful
of butter rolled in one of flour, cook
one minute, and pour, a little at
time, upon two beaten raw eggs. Turn
into the tureen and add the soup and
balls.

surface after the soup is used), a tea
cupful of boiling water and such addi-

take the trouble, omit the whites Of
the eggs, pound the yolks into paste,
work in welted butter, a pinch Of
mustard, pepper and salt, and bind
with the yoik of raw egg. Flour your
hands. make the paste into small balls
and drop into the boiling soup. Sim

TALK IN HURRY.

Time Is Precious to Many Business
Men.
1t is a good time to get right down
to business as soon as you enter a
mans office. Strike out from the
shoulder, and let it be known what
you are there for. Jones, a life in
surance agent, called on Smith, who
had been his close friend in boyhood,
though the two had not met for years.
Jones had been, an insurance agent
only a few months, and Smith hadn't
heard of it. Before telling him, Jones
resolved to talk about old times.

country various substitutes for tea

drank tea made from the leaves of
rib wort, strawberry plants, sage and
other herbs
1t is said that no English woman is
happy without her tea, and that Amer.
leans are the great coffee drinkers,
but the consumption of tea is CON
stantly on the increase. An after
noon tea is a pleasant way of enter
tanning ones friends. An advantage
is that a large number of guests can
be entertained than is usually pos.
sible at a dinner or luncheon. All
teas are similar, as the form of ex-
tending this hospitality is much the
same everywhere. Sometimes a col
lection of small tables are used, dis
tributed here and there about one or
two rooms, but as a rule one large
table is most popular. and from this
the tea and refreshments are served.
This should be covered with a spot
less white linen cloth, prettiIy decor
ated with flowers and silver; a tea
service stands at one end and a
chocolate set at the other, each pre-
sided over by some friend of the host
ess. Sandwiches, cakes, bonbons, and
an ice are sufficient compliments. A
maid should be in attendance to re-
move soiled cups and plates.

Where steam heat is installed, C
cording to Suburban Life, ventilation
is especially needed, for the absence
of fiues and open fireplaces deprives
the rooms of a constant source OF
pure air, and the architects are often
negligent in supplying efficient sub
stitutes for them. When building a
house, it is very easy to have at least
one open grating communicating with
the outside air placed at the highest
possible point in every room, with a
flap, if desired, to prevent this outlet
becoming an inlet; but, even when
