Rack For Lids.

The tidy housekeeper finds the
many lids OF pots, pans and kettles
needed in the kitchen a problem to
arrange with any degree Of order and
neatness.
They cannot be hung up. many OF
them. owing to the shape. will not lie
In pile and they are woefully un-
handy in the dresser drawers.
A bright woman to whom the lids
were as the hosts Of the evening has
now solved thequestion In a way both
easy and inexpensive.
She got a length OF strong wire,
stretched 1t across the pots and pans
shelf by means of a couple of nails,
and on this the lids accompanying all
the cooking utensils are neatly ar
ranged. The wire supports them
perfectly. and the even row Of shiny
tin things is by no means unorna-

For One so Young.

Every day of his life, and in many
little ways, Robert Murdoch dis
charged some portion of his hereditary
obligation, and felt the responsibility
of that peculiar relationship which
the ante-bellum patriarchs sustained
toward their people. He was not
their master, but the Almighty had
endowed him with greater gifts than
theirs. Noblesse oblige.
We'll, Uncle Andrew, I'm glad to
see you. Sit down."
Murdock's voice grew softer as
he spoke to the old negro who came
In, leading a small boy by the hand.
Uncle Andrew was an old-timer, one
OF the remaining few.
"Marse Robert, please, sub, take
dis boy in de sto' and teach i'm
sumpin'. / can't do nuthin' wild I'm.
He kin sweep out an fetch water an
run errands."
Murdoch glanced at the shrinking,
white-eyed little negro. well, Uncle
Andrew, Is he honest?"
Andrew scratched his head, con-
sidered long time, and replied:
Dunno, Marse Robert-dunno yit.
But spec he's tolerable honest for
his age. "-Everybody's Magazine.

A "RehelIious Wife"

The current issue of the American
Magazine has for its opening number
The Confessions of a Rebellious
Wife" We have no reason to doubt
that the story is true, and that it
tells the tale of the tragedy of love
as enacted in many another home.
An ideal courtship; a genuine love
marriage. The young lover and hus-
band deferring in everything to his
sweetheart and bride, and the radl-
antly happy young woman idolizing
her beau ideal of a man and ambi-
tons to anticipate his every want.
Then the cares, anxiettes. demands
- &c -Iss,us,iness increase. They grow more
insistent and imperious. The young
husband becomes absorbed in his
business. How can he help 1t? Sue
cess means so much to him, and he
Is bound to succeed.
slowly but surely, and all uncon-
sciously, too, he turns from wife to
business. The love he once lavished
upon her he now gives to his business.
She notices the change. She grows
cold, cynical, careworn and her life
is embittered. The end is a nervous
breakdown, premature-perhaps
suicide-grave, or more frequently.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food, and
gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect of
different foods on patients. MY own
little son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia, and during his con-
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food.
II knew something OF Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so / started
the boy on Grape-Nuts and found
from the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave 1t to him stead
lily, and he began to improve at once.
In less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong We had no further
anxiety about him.
AN old patient OF mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble, and before was called had
get so weak he could eat almost
nothing, and was in q serious condi-
ton. He had tried almost every
kind OF food for the sick without
avail
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts, with good, rich milk and Just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when I came next day, Why, doctor.
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so mach stronger
II am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to It for two or three weeks.
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely we'll In spite OF his almost
hopeless condition. He gained ~
pounds in two months. which at his
age Is remarkable.

Shelf Covers.

Have you ever peeped into the
kitchen OF some German hausfrau
and been enraptured by its immacu-
late cleanliness, not to say the va.
rious attractions that make you want
to linger there?
The German matron never hides
her own exclusive workshop; she does
not screen OF its very door as II she
were ashamed to own such q room.
1t is to her the most important in her
home, as is evidenced by the secured
pots and kettles and by all her little
efforts at identifying.
Her closet shelves are covered. not
with manila or lace paper, nor with
painted oilcloth, but with homespun
linen resembling our coarse crash.
This Is fastened by few buttonhoIes
slipped over some small china knobs
at the back of the shelf.
The cover hangs down, lambreuuiu
like, over the front edge OF the shelf.
and 1t is on this fall of linen that the
German pots. pans and kettles are re.
produced in cross-stitch in q nice
Delft blue to match some Of the plat
tiers and soup plates that stand in
rows on the shelves. The patterns
appear only at intervals. and the lin.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Each succeeding week has now
become a record OF advancing activi-
~ In industry and commerce. The
extraordinary expansion in the iron
and steel trade continues ard where
as, short time ago, the problem
was how to finS business. now the
problem is becoming that OF meeting
orders with adequate dispatch. The
general business situation is improv-
ed by the progress made in the work
Of tariff revision. In view of the
widening area of Industrial activity,
the better employment of labor and
The higher prices for commodities,
the fact that the supply of banking
credits in the leading financial cen
.ers continues large, with rates for
loans generally low, is significant of
the reserve power for further ex-
pansion.
Bradstreet's says:
Despite irregularities in crop and
weather conditions. midsummer in
auences in trade and industry and
conservatism in placing orders
ahead. business is of fairly good
volume for the season of the year
and shows a perceptibIy steady adj
vance toward normal proportions.
The retail trade clearance sales are
universal. but there are numerous re-
ports that reduced purchasing power
offsets the stimulus offered by this
means of inducing buying. Whole
sale trade for immediate delivery
and jobbing business in summer
goods is of a light volume. Fall
trade reports are still relatively the
best of any branch.
