WORK OF THE WISE HOSTESS
Study and Close Application of Little
Things Has Put Her in Proud
Position.

A hostess whose little dinners or
luncheons are never long or expensive
but described at all times as perfec-
ton, with delicious surprises included
that do not interfere with the nights
good rest, declares that these CASTRO
nomical achievements are often sug-
gested to her merely by seeing the
ingredients in juxtaposition. This may
happen through the carelessness of
the butcher boy or the groceryman,
both having returned with forgotten"
articles that have been thrown with
out intent for such effect upon the
same table. In this way most de-
lectable combination of oysters and
maccaroni occurred which was tenn
pered by cheese and paprika and some
shredded green peppers. Another
time stuffing for peppers ensued. for
which the secret has never been told
Another invention is salad of
chopped celery, to which grape fruit,
orange and nuts are added, and over
this a French dressing with tarragon
vinegar, aided by chopped onion and
wee bit of sugar. An accompaniment
to this salad is cheese soufIle done
in tiny balls, arranged in pyramid
on toasted biscuits. Paprika Is plenti-
fully sprinkled over all to give snap,
but not bring tears, cayenne would.

She Had Not Read Scriptures

Miss Dorothy Drew, who was pre-.

the favorite granddaughter of the late

stories told of her childhood days is
the following: One morning she re-

failing, Mr., Gladstone was called to
her. why, don't you get up, my
child?" he asked. "Why, grandpa,

In experiments by the Nebraska
station to discover the pulling strength
of harness tugs 1t was found that they
began to give way at 1850 pounds and
that the maximum amount of loading
was 1,4S5 pounds. From these results
1t was concluded that since the trac-
tive force necessary to haul a loaded
wagon on an earth road in fairly good
condition is about 100 pounds per ton,
four tugs of this character would haul
a load, including the weight of the
wagon, OF 5s.4 tons. With factor of
safety of 10, which is none too much.
a tx inch tug is capable of safely haul
ing practically six tons. On mac
adam road this load could be doubled
and on a brick pavement quadrupled
From this experiment 1t is evident
that where harness is new 1t will stand
any strain that any team can put upon
It, 1t is only after the harness be-
comes weakened by improper caro- and
lack of oil that there ia danger Of

COMPLEMENTARY CoIors.

Recent experiments, the results OF
which have been placed before the
Academy of Sciences in Paris, appear
to demonstrate that the true compile
mentary colors of the spectrum have
not hitherto been recognized. Red
was formerly considered to be the
complement of green, yellow of violet
and blue of orange. But according to
Mr. Rosenstiel, the complementarles
OF red and orange are neither green
nor blue, but two greenish-blue tints,
and the complement of yellow Is
blue, and not violet, which is the COM
plement of green. Mr.. Rosenstiel has
accordingly formed a new "chromatic
circle for the use of artists, which
he believes is more correct than its
predecessors.-Y Companion.

for the progress Of science. l was sc.

After perilous voyage of about 5000 leagues,

strength enough to drag ourselves. thousand
insects OF every species gave no rest by day or
night, and we had constantly to be on our guard
against the very ferocious beasts with which the
country Is covered Moreover, we lacked the nee

Mexico had been spoiled by the heat. We were
obliged to live on wild cattle and whatever fruits

And when the husband has dyspep-

former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in draft and

we distract it's ears with noise and it's
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in quiet room, on a soft
couch. We robe it in a comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; we put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed it with
food convenient for it. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give it soothing draught to rest it;
