HospitaT Boiled Egg.

= An excellent way to boil an egg so
as to have it soft and fluffy suitable
for convalescents, is to cook ii eight
minutes. The water in the kettle
must be boiling. Turn out the gas on
range and carefully place egg-which
previously has been dipped in warm
water to remove chill. as sudden
change in temperature would crack 1t
lin the boiling water, and cover,
leaving upon the unlighted burner to
get the heat. At the end OF eight
minutes take egg from shell. salt and
butter to taste, and you will have a
soft, palatable easily digested egg.

HIS ARTISTIC SOUL REvolTED.
Young Painter Saw Period OF Suffer
Ing While Earning Needed Money.

The young artist. almost on the
verge of starvation. had just accept
ed an order from an elderly spinster
to paint her portrait. When the terms
and appointments had been fixed and
the spinster was descending the rick
city studio stairs. a student friend Of
the young painter, who had overheard
the deal. rushed in from the next
room to offer his congratulations.
To his surprise. however. he found
his friend sitting downcast before his
easel, his head in his hands.
why, Francois, why so downheart-
ed?' he inquired, stopping short to
stare at the artist. Didn't I just
overhear you bagging an order to
paint face at 1000 francs?"
YES" replied Francois, sadly.
"And your need of the money Is
something fierce, isn't it?"
And the other nodded.
Then. my friend, you should be
kicking the ceiling in your lucky
strike!"
The artist now lifted his head slow
ly and gazed piteously at his compan-
ion. Melvin" said he, did you get
glimpse of herr"

head again to fall into his hands, you

Look Forward.

Forget your faults and failures. Or
remember them only to learn the les
son they have to teach, the frailty or
folly or wickedness Of spirit which
they should disclose to you-the
vanity that weakens. the pride that
hardens, the greed that corrupts. Let
your past be not ball and chain tied
to your ankle to keep you back. but
a journal to tell you what road you
have travelled. Then, looking back
only long enough to see where you
are and what your course should be.
forget the things that are behind and
press forward.-The Outlook.

Luminous Birds.

Owls do not appear to be the only
luminous birds. The authors OF "The
Water Birds OF North America" allude
to the phosphorescent plumage of the
great blue heron. The breast feath-
ers OF this species. 1t appears. are fur
nished with downy, light-emitting
substance. The bird itself is known
as the "bird-lantern." II is suggested
that the luminosity may be of service
to the bird, both by attracting the fish
and enabling II to see them.

New York, July 2.-Dealings in

dropping to 100, 800 shares. There was
more show Of life in bonds than in
stocks and considerable yarity Was
percipitable in that department of the
market Expansion in the par value
of the bond sales was principally due
however, to a large absorption of a

The call Dan rate dropped back to

Money continued to flow to New
York although the indicated gain this
week of less than 100000 is small

of the inuoW of cash to reserve cen

A Fine Idea,

In several towns in Canada the
school children have organized what
they call the Remember Club. "
They go up or down street and
count she houses or the telegraph
poles in 50 many blocks. They look
into show window. and take notice
of things displayed. They count
the number Of children at school or
Sunday school. They count all the
white Oh black horses they see in "A
day or week. They look at people
OIL the street and try to remember
how they were dressed They take
notice of everything going on, and
then meet Of a Saturday afternoon
and compare notes. The boy or
girl who remembers the most is CIV
en- a prize of a box of candy.
The idea is fine on. 1t Is the
right way to cultivate both observa-
tion and memory. and good Will come
CT it, If you ask the average boy or
girl how many blocks he or she lives
from the Post Office or the City Hall,
not two out of ten can answer you
without waiting to count. Many a
man in public life has found it the
greatest benefit to remember names
