Double Holidays in Iaaa.

This year Washington's birthday,
Memorial day and the Fourth of July
all fall on Saturday, giving the public
three double holidays. Ordinarily
these three do not fall on the same
day, but by the intervention of the 20
of February this year Washington s
birthday falls just fourteen weeks earlier
than Memorial day, which regularly
comes FIVE weeks before the Fourth.
The advantage of having holiday al
Join a Sunday, for people who desire to
seize the opportunity to make trips out
of town, is very great. In creating
the last holiday Labor day advantage
of this principle T-as taken in tie
selection Of first Monday instead of
numbered day of the month. In 1909,
Washington birthday falls on Monday,
the Both of May and Fourth of July on
Sunday, which means a Monday OBJ
servsion double holidays assured. In
the later year Christmas will also fall
on Sunday, thereby affording the most
complete trial of the "double holiday"
possible in our ealander.

The fearful tetanus, or lockjaw, was
ascribed In all the books when | was
a student to puneture or irritation Of
a nerve, and both hands and feet We're
sometimes cut off to stop the irritation
going up the nerve to the spine Now
we know that 1t is due to a fatal
poison in the blood which acts like
strychnia, though more painfully, and
which is produced by a bacillus lodged
In a pupetured wound made by some
stick, nail or pistol wad on which this
evil bacillus happened to be. 1t is a
soil bacillus and swarms in rich gar
den earth, particularly where guano
or fish manure is used. All wounds,
therefore. into which eartb has enter
ed should be promptly cauterized.- DIR.

WEDDING FEAST SALAD.
An Old Family Recipe For This In
disrensab!e Relish.


Chicken salad is the most dependable
relish to serve at the wedding feast.
It never holds the possibilities Of pto-
maine poisoning, as fish may. and it
does not wilt, as green salad would,
IL the reception runs for some length.
Here is an old family recipe:
This quantity should make very near
Iy two quarts of salad, sufficient for
twenty people, If served with sand
witches and ices. Select two plump
fowls not too old; simmer in boiling
waite until tender. Do not cut them
up before cooking, and do not cook in
cold water, as this draws out the juice.
When tender remove from the liquor
cool and cut into dice. Add one pint
Of celery cut in dice, mixed lightly,
sprinkled with little salt. If you do
not like oil, use this dressing: Beat
the yolks of seven eggs. seven pinches
Of mustard and seven teaspoonfuls
Of sugar; place In a porcelain stew
pan: add slowly seven tablespoonful
OF boiling vinegar: cook slowly until
thick, mix with the chicken, add one
,.upful of good sweet cream whipped
lght and salt and pepper to taste. II
you like oil, try this mayonnaise dress
ing: Into the well beaten yolk Of one
egg add drop by drop one pint of olive
oil. Boil two eggs hard. rub into the
yolks dash of cayenne pepper, one.
half spoonful of salt Add this TO the
yolks and OIL Now add finely chopped
whites of the eggs and juice of halt
a lemon, mix well, then add the vel
beaten white of the uncooked egg, and
the dressing is ready for use.

Value of Example,

To have your child truthful, be truth
full. To have him kind to others, be
yourself kind to others. To have him
honest, present to him in yourself a
living example of honesty. The chief
part of child's knowledge comes
through observation. Acts mean more
to him than speech. To have him tenn
perate, be temperate in all things.
Prove to him by your life that good
name is to be CHOSEN before great
riches. Teach him that riches are not
to be despised. but should never be got
by doing harm to others; that when
acquired should be treated as trust,
not as hoard.
