Orange Sandwich.

'If only l had known sooner
about that little trick of the orange
sandwich for giving castor oil to
children, how many awful struggles
both the baby and l would have
been saved" said a mother who had
been told by the doctor to give her
baby this unpalatable medicine.
The orange sandwich is simply a
small quantity of orange juice put
into spoon with the needed amount
of oil added and over that enough
orange juice to cover the oil. This
is an excellent method for taking
either castor or olive oil. It has
been recommended several times.
but is such a really valuable discov-
cry for mothers that it is repeated
for the benefit of the few who have
not tried it and who still look for
ward to a scene every time such a
dose must be given.-Washington

GAME OF THE GREAT MAN.

ne Was Playing Solitaire, Not Juggling
With Millions.
The fnancier was the cynosure Of
all the passengers on board the
transatlantic steamer. So great a
man was he that he renamed aIoof
from the rest of the passengers and
had most Of his meals IN his room.
When occasionally he took a turn
on deck the few who had a bowing
acquaintance with him very gate
fully acknowledged his grudgng sa.
lutes. The very atmosphere bristled
with thoughts and sounds Of dollars
as he passed.
One day a young man was taking
a constitutional whose route led
past the window of a room wherein
the fnancier sat. There was the
great man, just a bust view visible.
big cigar in his mouth and hat
cooked on one side Of his head, his
eyes directed down, apparently in
the deepest thought.
The young man, greatly i'm
pressed, said to himself: "Ah, there
he sits, probably planning some
great coup. Probably at this mo-
ment he is debating joining of
railroad interests or move that
viii make or unmake thousands.
What a wonderful thing is the pow
er Of money!
Then he continued his stroll.
Back and forth he strobe, and about
the fourth round trip he noticed
that the hat had been tilted for
ward, not SO much so that the young
man could not see an anxious and
strained look on the wealthy mans
face:
"The merger must be presenting
some complex features" unused the
young man. 'sThe problem isn't
working out well. This business of
being great man in the market
has its drawbacks too"
Two or three times more the
young man walked by. Finally he
thought he would walk over closer
to the window. he wanted to see
the great man nearer. The glimpse
he got rather changed his mind
about the cause for the intent look
and worried face.
The great man was playing soli-
taire.-New York Sun.

Butter Centuries Old.

Chez is used in India as is butter

and, in fact, is butter so prepared
that it never grows stale, instances
being known of its preservation for
as long as 200 years.
In preparing ghee, butter is boil

is clear oil it is poured into vessel
