Barley w ater.

In the summer time barley water is used as most nourishing and cooling drink, but no less so is 1t efficacious in the winter used in hot mixtures in- stead of the trapped solutions.
 For winter use make it as follows:
 Two pounds of shin of beef in gal lon of water. A teacupful of pearl bar ley is added, with three large onions, cut small, a small bunch of parsley and few potatoes. These are finely sliced.
 To season it, a little thyme should be added to the pepper and salt. Let this simmer gently for three or four hours It should be frequently stirred, or the meat will burn. It should never be allowed to boil.

Visiting Cards.

Visiting cards were upknown in Europe previous to the reign of Louis XIV. In China they were used thousand years ago and were called visiting tickets"
 The French court used printed cards with armorial bearings, Napoleon having revived this fashion.
 Today the visiting cards are exceedingly plain except some of them in continental Europe which are very amusing and showing the vanity of their owners. For example," says the Marquise de Fonte- noy, the late Count Villers de TIsle Adam had printed under his name Heir to the succession of the Kings of Cyprus and of Jerusalem" while the cards of another well known count were inscribed with the Information that he was a brother of the general of the same name who had been killed at Sebastopol.
 It is quite a common thing on the con- tinent, moreover, for men of the bour- geoisie who have received decorations and other honorific distinction to cause the entire list thereof to be engraved on their visiting cards.
 Visiting cards were unknown in Europe previous to the reign of Louis KY but they were in use thousand years ago in China where very strict etiquette has always prevailed among the mandarns and upper classes with respect to the oizC eillu pdlttIil Ol liitlI NiSllDlS llCh~ ets,' as they are accustomed to call them
 There is one feature of etiquette in con- nection with cards which it may be well to mention here, namely, that 1t is con trary to its laws for people of nonroyal rank to leave cards on royalty. The latter, no matter whether staying in pal aces and chateaux, or when sojourning in a hotel, have book left at the en- trance in which callers inscribe their names and addresses books which are supposed to be inspected by their owners al least once day.
 Royalty on the other hand leaves cards when it makes calls and, save when they are inscribed with the titles adopted for incognlto use, the cards arc considerably larger than the ordinary pasteboard The incognito cards-those of King Edward bear the title or Duke of Lancaster-have nothing, however to distinguish them in size or appearance from the usual pasteboard.

Motherhood.

To feel the depths of tenderness, A hungry, yearning mood, To find in anguish happiness, An, this is motherhood. To smile, to cheer, to plead, to pray, Be blind as none else would, To battle with tears his winding way, An, this is motherhood. And then when all the debt is paid In motherhood brave and good, Beneath the shelter she hath made She rests-blest motherhood,

POLK COUNTY WILL COMPETE
Cherry Growers Will Exhibit Their
Best Fruit at Salem Fair.

The annual Cherry Fair, which is
held In Salem, is being looked forward
to by the fruit growers Of Oregon and
the entire Pacific coast with keen
interest. Indeed, fruit experts In all
parts OF the continent are watching
this event. as it stands for the best
exhibition OF the best cherries grown
in the world.
Although the date has not yet been
definitely fixed for the fair, it is safe
to say that it will be held early In July,
as last years date was July 10, II and
70. There is now every reason to
believe that large crop Is In store for
the cherry growers OF the state for this
season, as they have bloomed bounti-
fully and, as far as can be learned,
they fully fertilized and large crop
Of fruit has set.
At the 1907 cherry fair, over sixty
premiums were awarded, including
about thirty beautiful silver cups

LIBRARY ADOPTS NEW PLAN
Will Charge Small Rental to Readers
of Latest Popular Fiction.

The Dallas Free Library has found
it necessary, in order to keep pace with
the increasing demand for late popu-
lar fiction, to follow the custom which
most of the large city Libraries have
adopted, and rent out the latest books
OF fiction at five cents week.
These books cost the library 81
apiece, and it is planned to put them
into the general circulation as soon as
each book has earned so cents from
rentals. The money secured 10 this
way will be held in separate fund
and re-invested in new books Of fiction.
1t is hoped that everyone will CO.
operate cheerfully with the librarian
in this effort to increase the supply of
books to the end that no one will lend
or borrow the books under rental,
except through the medium OF the
Library. In this way, these popular
books will quickly earn the required
so cents and then be placed freely al
the disposal of the general reading
public.
