STARTLING Definitions.

One would think. that high school
boys nand girls We're sufficiently
schooMd in knowledge outside of the
textbooks to answer few innocent
quiZzeS. But here is what happened
in a well regulated high school i'm ar
eastern city.
Among the questions We're these:
What is a bronco" What is a
boomerang" What is pantomme?'
What is cartoon?" And these four
excited some most remarkable an
swers The following bona fide replies
taken at random from the papers. show
in many cases decided originality. to
say the least: but they likewise display
the effect of imperfect enunciation and
pronunciation. and of the association
of ideas without due regard to sense =
In reply to the first query. What is
bronco? We're the following: A
bronco is an herb used as a medicine :;
a part of your body: Il foreigner: a
man that lives on ranch.
What is a boomerang?" called forth,
among others. these: A boomerang is
a species of the baboon family; what
an indian chews: something explosive
The replies to What is IA panto-
mime?" included the following: A
pantomime is an animal that eats
human flesh; person who finds fault:
a man who is always on the bad side of
everything: trunk: box to carry
people in, resting on the shoulders of
four men; vision of ones former
sins
As for the question. What is a
cartOon?" that seemed to excite the
widest ideas of all. and there were
brought fourth such answers as these.
A cartoon is vessel for holding arti-
cles; strong windstorm: kind of
fish: bunch of flowers presented to
hero or nobleman; soldiers water
bottle; statute; strong gust Of
wind.

Both Doing Their Duty.

A woman reporter attached to a New
York newspaper was once sent to OBJ
tain an "interview'' with the late Bis
hop Potter. She made an appointment
by telephone. but on account of other
engagements was unable to be on time.
However, when she arrived she found
the Bishop ready to receive her. He
cordially invited her to be seated and
inquired as to the exact nature of the
desired information.
Then in a clear. direct manner he
dictated his statement. After the re-
porter had finished writing she courte-
oualN offered to read what she had
written. The Bishop insisted that he
knew that ii was correct. and allowed
il to go without hearing it.
AS she rose to take leave she said
gracicusly:
Il thank you very much, and appre-
ciato now much it means for busy
person like yourself to give your time
to reporters"
] patting her on the shoulder in a
fatherly manner Bishop Potter replied
My dear woman, we are both earn
ing our living. Youths Companion.

HANGING Baskets.

There is nothing that adds so at
tractively to the large porch as large
hanging basket Is suspended between
the pillars. In making them, one
should purchase large. flare Wire bas-
Eets- the large tie better in order to
provide sufi, ient earth to the growing
plants. Now is q good time to make
these baskets us the plants should
have a good start before they are hung
on the porch. Line tire baskets with
wood moss, or purchase it of a florist. A
basket outlined with yellow myrtle,
the center being filled with short ferns,
is very pretty. The l,lue myrtle is just
as good. Trailing ferns, red gerani :
ums and striped grass are used in the
baskets. Where rorches are extremely
large, one should have one or more
filed porcelain jardinieres on ped
estals. If the porch rugs are red, Sc
l"ct green jardinieres, or a delft blue
rug and blue porcelain jardinieres and
pedestals the latter is pretty when a
color scheme is desired FOR the porch.

The Use of ButtermiIk.

Buttermilk is a food and cosmetic.
useful i'm all seasons of the year. but
especially desirable during warm
weather, for it is highly nutrative, is
easily digested and most refreshing
to drink. Also it is inexpensive, fact
that is not to be overlooked.
That some persons do not like the
flavor OF it at first is drawback, but
one that can be easily overcome. IN
extremely warm weather. instead OF
getting phosphate or ice cream soda
when thirsty, get glass of buttermilk
1t is excellent for the complexion. and
is benefit for the system. There is
more than one quality of buttermilh
and that which is most healthful is not
bitingly acid. 1t has certain tartnesS
but when sour it should not be drunk
although even in this condition it is
not harmful. Also it is easier to drink
when cold. 1t should be slipped slowly

Care of Clothing.

The proper selection OF clothing j.,
not more important than the proper

Coat-hangers cost only "A trife. and
every wardrobe should contain a Iare,
supply of them as they are useful nor

blouSes of all kinds.
There is ii noticeable difference in
the shape of Il coat that has invariably

mistake of considering shoe-trees a
luxury instead of a necessity, and their
shoes are an unmistakable evidence of
the fact. The woman whose feet al

Oliver CromweiI's Mother.

EVERY man. a writer has said, sis
the son of his mother Cromwell was
the son of Elizabeth Steward. Eliza
beth Steward was Il modest. retiring
woman. yet a woman of in1exible recti-
tude and stern piety. Religion was very
real to her. and she reared Oliver in an
atmosphere of rigid piety.
The little family at Huntington was
happy. Under the guidance of the
mother prayer was said each day, at
morning and night. at meals and the
Bible was read regularly. People have
wondered at the great hero giving a
pocket Bible to every soldier in his
army. Those who knew his mother
recognized her influence, which had
moulded the growing child.
Cromwelfs mother was a fine looking
VIC nan. of medium height. with a full
face. dark eyes and hair. She was re-
firing and devoted herself to her family.
She sent Oliver when he was small to
the public school at Huntington. The

His mind moulded in this stern cruel
bic Oliver went to Cambridge when he
was II. During these days his mother
spent much time in prayer for her son.
Her letters breathed a spirit of religion
she enjoined him to shun sin. OF On
ver's life at Cambridge little is known.
II ere were tales told later of his indulg-
ing in debaucheries: it is said he swore
and gambed and got drunk. These as
sertions were based on his declaration in
a letter written in 1898 to cousin. In
which he said "You know what manner
my life hath been. oh. l lived in dark
ness and hated light; | was the chief of
sinners. This is true ! hated goodness,
yet God had mercy on me-"

Starchino,

Even the good laundress sometimes has
trouble in making her collars and cuffs
exactly right. 1t is, indeed, fine art to
starch well. and it needs much expert
ence. Potato starch is said to be the
finest of all starches and to make the
very best finish on shirt fronts and col
lars. while for those who like glazed linen
a little turpentine added to the starch will
make gloss to vie with the mirror.
StarchinS is an art brought from Hol-
lard by the wife of good Queen Bess
ccaChman, and it has lost rather than
gained during the century or so that il
has been in use among English speaking
races.
