strong material of the sort which will

if the kitchen boasts shallow cassa-

cup custards or jellied buildings may
be added to the luncheon. 1t is much

Each player draws q letter from

letter he has drawn and with that and
those in the pool tries to make some
word or words. If he cannot, he leaves
his letter in the pool.
After anyone has made a word, if
anyone else by using his letter or those
in the pool can change it, the word
becomes his. For instance, tar can
be changed to cart" and that in turn
to trace" and that again into ere

lasts.
Adding ed or ing" or pluralizing
is not considered sufficient change
Proper names or words of less than

The one who first gets ten words
wins the game, and 1 don't know of

emily mentioned as a possible ''suitor'
for the hand of the little German prin-
cess, but this is only rumor. 1t is Ger
tain that international diplomacy will
play it's part in the selection of hus-
band for the princess, and that she
will be disposed of in marriage to the
highest bdder-that is. to one who
can best further the interests of the
empire.
Every royal family in Europe will
welcome the idea of union with the
family of one of the most powerful
of modern rulers. From the time she
takes her place in the arena of world
olitics the Princess Victoria Louise
will never be out of the limelight
Perhaps this will not be entirely
welcome to the princess, for she is a
shy and studious young woman, who
takes life very seriously and has little
time for the nonsense that engages
other young girls.
Recognizing this disposition in her
daughter the empress that most tact
full of all royal mothers purposely de-
layed her confirmation as long as pos
sible so that when the time came for
her to set up housekeeping on her own
account Victoria Louise should have
as much development as possible.
She has six brothers-the Crown
Prince Wilhelm. Prince Eitel Fritz,
Prince Adalbert, Prince August Will
helm, Prince Oscar and Prince Joach-
i'm. Three of these are married and
the little princess is already the aunt
of growing family of little royal
ties
The princess, in addition to her
Imperial title. is also a Princess of
Prussia and of Brandenburg, a Csun-
tess of Hohenzollern, Duchess of

NAL contains the names of a number
of animals noted for the excellence

point, then such a pedigree is a
strong indication of utility in the an

proper balance between pedigree and
individuality. 1t must be remembered
that the immediate ancestors, such as
the SIRE dam, grand sire and grand
dam have a greater influence for good
or evil than more remote ancestors,
and. therefore. the first two or three
generations, or, in other words, the top
crosses should receive special attention
in studying a pedigree. The more re-
mote the ancestor the less important
is its influence likely to be.

plate with eight-inch brick wall If no
fodder Is stored in the roof it will
not be necessary to use railroad iron

with iron or slate Will be practically
6reproof and very much cheaper than
railroad iron and very much easier
to place in position. The space for
cows should be arranged as follows:

with free luncheon at ten o'clock
in the forenoon At first some of the
girls hesitated, as they did not think
it quite nice. to do anything mental,
but soon the fever spread and every
one yearned to be a college waitress.
When IL o'clock arrived the line of

Mrs. Jameson decided to employ
freshmen. They had been in college
such a short time that they still re-

The girls serve luncheon each day.
AS there are only two courses, they
do not have much to do, but they look
pretty in their white aprons and caps,
and when a waitress is not busy she
sits down with her friends and they
feed her some of their luncheon.

Corn Slower for Horses.

Just try some shredded slower for
horse feed this winter, instead of
timothy, urges a correspondent of
Orange Judd Farmer The former is
just about one-half the price of the lat,
ter, and is just about as good That is
the testimony from the feeding test.
Judging by the way horses act, it must
be true. If you have plenty of tim.
othy, let this go to town and to the
city man, who will pay a good round
price for it. With the money buy
some other things you need. Take
home with you some grain feed rich in
protein, such as cottonseed meal, glu.
ten meal or bran; with these feed
clean, bright corn slower The com,
bination will furnish one of the best
sorts Of winter rations for farm stock
that you can get. Not only will you
have better feed than corn and tim.
othy together, but you will have a
cheaper one, with money in your
pocket to boot.

kitchens, as we'll as some knowledge
of kitchen gardening. Girls, be-
