%ove's Discourses" Has Nothing to
 Do With cuPid's Franks.
 It is interesting to collect certain of the instances If mistakes in regard to the titles of bs-oks. Thus the old farm CT who asked for "Edgworth on Irish Bulls got no doubt something he did not expect, arnd the dainty youth who applied for. 1ove's Discourses'' did not really wish volume of sermons by Christophe-- Love. If application is made by messenger, mistakes of a diff ferent sort may occur. An excitable boy once asked for Bishop Cocks and Hens Earnest Communicant;" he meant Bishop Oxenden's. Similarly by Warne's 'Moral Cookery he meant lis ''Model Cookery" A maid forgot all about the title of the book she had been sent for except that it was something like tomato soup." She was served with Red Pottage."

That Settled If.

The commissioners in lunacy were nonplused. The man on whose mental condition the courts had appointed them to pass seemed perfectly sane il spite of all testimony to the contrary His every action, his every remark was rational. They were about to give up in despair when, matters took an unexpected turn "Oh, doctor, permit me to return the umbrella I borrowed from you last week." said the patient.
 And then, at the thought of earning their fees with no qualms of con- science. the learned men decided that any one who would voluntarily return a borrowed umbrella should be placed under restraint
 This simply proves how trifies will ever mold our destinies.-New York Times

Talking OF ironing recalls the fact

stores that the sale of portable irons

c:eases with remarkable strides. 1t is
not unusual these days for a woman
to start off with such a convenience
in her trunk or bag, The starchless
lingerie and the supple fabrics used in
gowns make frequent pressing a ne.
cessity. 1t is not much work to press
out a skirt or waist, and most women
would rather do it for themselves
Than trust to strange maids that one

Sometimes one would rather do it
oneself than depend upon the regular
maids of ones own home.

When Preparing Rice.

Instead of washing rice half a
dozen times in cold water to remove
the starch rinse twice in very hot
water and the same results are gained.
Few northerners succeed in getting
the separated grains. such as are al.
ways seer on southern tables. To
obtain them throw rice slowly into
rapidly-boiling, slightly-salted water,
and cook 30 minutes uncovered.
Drain, add a tablespoonful of but,
ter, and toss gently with fork. Dry
in a hot oven for about five minutes.
Serve uncovered.

and it's rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, SO l started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
