like young robin with bill tightly
closed and neck considerably longer

cards of invitation, is sometimes dull
blue, sometimes gray son gray papers,
and again it comes in glowing golds
and yet again in cleaning silver.
Just outside the entrance to the

Lieut.. u. S. Grant to Be Busy "Janitor''.

Lieut.. Grant married not long ago
the daughter of Senator Root of New
York. Since that time he has been
stationed in Boston in the engineer
department Under the law member
of the engineer corps must superin-
tend the state, war and navy building.
This is, without exaggeration, the
largest office building in the world. It
extends from Pennsylvania avenue to
the Oval and from Executive avenue
almost all over town. Branches of
the enormous building can be found
on almost any street within mile.
The state, war and navy building
in itself is enough care for an or
binary man, but there are alse the an
nexes, which are arranged without
any consideration for the convenience
of the superintendent.

Budgets Beatitudes.

Blessed are the pantry shelves
which are painted white and then fin
ished with a thin coat of white en-

dirt cannot hide from sight.
Blessed is the kerosene for the re-
moval of tar from the hands or china.
Blessed is the pan of water placed
in the oven with the potatoes to
hasten their baking.
Blessed is the little boiling water
added to the omelet while it is cook
ing to prevent its getting tough.
Blessed is the white of egg applied
to the inside of jelly molds or glasses.
The jelly will then turn out easily.
