Rather Quaint.

Apropos Of divorce. Judge Simon L.
Hughes of Denver said at a recent
dinner:
"A marriage likely to end In d.
vorce was celebrated last week In
Circleville. A minister told me about
It.
IAN oldish man-70 or so-was led
rather unwillingly to the altar by a
widow of about 45.
"He was a slow-witted old fellow,
and the minister couldn't get him to
repeat the responses properly. Finally,
in despair. the minister said:
"Look here. my friend. really
can't marry you unless you do what
you are told
"But the aged bridegroom still re-
mained stupid and silent. and the
bride. losing all patience with him.
shook him roughly by the arm and
'hissed:
"'Go on. you old toot! Say 1t after
him just as II you were mocking
him."

USE RATS IN WARFARE
Animal Pests Were at One Time EN-
pIoyed to Destroy Powder Mag.
azines.

The presence OF cats on the French
war Office staff, writes correspon.
dent, might have led TO trouble In the
old days, when II is quite possible
that a detachment OF rats formed
part Of the army. An old military
dictionary tells us that rats were
sometimes used in war for the pur-
pose OF firing powder magazines by
means OF lighted matches tied TO their
tails. We cannot offhand recall any
historical instance OF this, but pre-
.sumably II did occur. seeing that Mar.
shal Vauban laid down special rules
for couDteracting II. Anyhow. the
dodge is as old as Samson, who. you
may recall, used foxes In a similar
way for a somewhat similar purpose.
AS to that royal rat catcher. we
may add that he had a special official
livery. According to Pennants Brit
fish Zoology" II consisted of a scarlet
costume, embroidered with yellow
worsted. in which were figures OF
mice destroying wheat sheaves. BY
the way. rats we're not the only ami
mails honored with a special catcher.
I Leicester, for instance. used to pay
a yearly salary OF e1 lis. Cd. to its
municipal mole catcher. - London

A Relic Of English Rule.

That many OF the things we cherish
are relics OF former English institu.
tions-slang. grammar and cigar store
fndians-is commonly known. One
more may now be added to the list, as
is shown by the following excerpt
from the Daily Chronicle OF London:
Besides the marrow pie alluded to
in Bleak House, which is said to have
been mixture OF bread. pounded al.
monds. cream, eggs. lemon peel, sugar,
nutmeg and marrow. one can recall
many other delicacies that have prac
ltically vanished from the Londoner's
bill Of fare. Take. for instance, the
once popular a la mode beef In Dick.

present writer knows only one estab
lishment, In Fleet street. where II can

oysters Are In Season.

oysters are now put up and
shipped under such sanitary restric
tions that the old time JOY may be re.
newed in the oyster stew.
He was a bold man who first did eat
an oyster.-Swift.
The chafing dish may be used to
cook and serve the oyster in many
delightful ways. The advantage OF
seeing the dish prepared before one is
great for the novelty never quite
wears away. How many invalids and
"shut-ins" have been delighted with
the process of cooking before them
Don't fail to buy an individual cha
fing dish for your sick friend. 1t will

The tough muscle of the oyster
should never be given to a sick per.

Oysters are not especially nourish.
ing, but are easy of digestion, and
serve to make variety In our diet.

Have a Hobby.

Have you noticed how interesting
woman may be who has hoht.?
Whether II is birds, bees howers or
china, there is always something re
freshing about her for she Is enthu
siastic, and enthusiasm is the impor
tant quality which gives zest to life.
We can never learn too much oi
life's interesting things. and she who
specializes on one subject may give
to her friends much that will enrich
and improve their knowledge.
Life is too short for us to be in
formed fully upon many lines; but we
all desire to be intelligent upon the
common topics of the day, and the
common things we see, and there is
really no excuse for this lack. There
are not many women who are not &C
quainted with the robin; look for its
coming in the spring as eagerly as the
children do. Even the busiest house
wife will find time to do the things
she very much wants to do, and II
you choose the thing that seems to
you most interesting, you will find
new and wondrous things open up all
the while in it's study. This universe
of ours is an exhaustless library from
which we may draw and ever see be
yond beauties which we can not reach
or hope to understand.
Mans reach is beyond his grasp OF

our great inventors had the pleasure
of bearing that cognomen and lived
to rejoice over 1t.

Taste In Dress.

When one sees the young working
girl with her hair dressed in such
elaboration of detail that the casual
observer is attracted and wonders
how many hours were put into the OPP
Grafton. we must feel that such things
are not good taste.
A gown covered with lace and fur.
bellows that have seen better days, is
not appropriate for an Office or shop
young people are not attracted by
pretty things; they should be, but a
gown and manner of dressing the hair
may be pretty. stylish. and yet simple
and in keeping with ones work. Style
Is great leader of women. but ex-
lremes are never worn by those whose
taste is refined.
The old saw: BE not the first by
which the new is tried; Nor yet the
last to lay the old aside" is a good
pne to follow.
One expects a lady to always be
neat, whatever else she may be in
appearance. and whatever may be
said In that regard, neatness costs
much. Attention to the little things
are the earmarks of a we'll dressed
girl, or woman. A frayed skirt braid,
or wrinkled, soiled skirt, gloves that

Diet In Obesity,

The problem of reducing flesh Is
largely an individual problem as
What Is one mans meat is another
mans poison" Usually the reduction
of the diet by one-ffth with free use
OF muscular exercise, the loss will be
slow, but any method which reduces
fat at rapid rate should be avoided.
When two-fifths of the regular food is
reduced. eating sparingly of fat and
bread with moderate exercise the re-
suits are never disagreeable. The loss
OF one pound or little less in week
is all that should be desired.
Milk, bread, butter, sugar and po-
tatoes are all fattening, and should be
almost entirely eliminated from the
diet Of the corpulent person, or eaten
very sparingly.
Oranges are pleasant aid to the
woman who wants to grow thinner.
Take the juice of two sour oranges at
every meal. Use lemon Juice for vim
egar; give up oil with salads. No
cream or sugar in coffee, sugarless
fruit. DR.. Weir Mitchell advocates
draughts of skim milk for the safe
reduction OF flesh.
He states If taken plentifully at and
between meals 1t will reduce flesh a
half pound day. This must be re-
membered Is to be with dieting in 9TH
er foods.
Baths taken in cold water each
morning on rising, with a vigorous
brushing with flesh brush, will help
accomplish the desired result.
No cereals, no hot breads, save dry
toast; no pork in any form; no veal.
and as little water as possible; none
at meals.
Some authorities claim that a lit
tie food taken often is better than a
larger amount at stated intervals, as
the food consumed Is thus more easi.
ly kept under control.
All alcoholic stimulants should be
tabooed. water and mineral waters
may be regarded as harmless. Tea or
coffee with little milk; but no sugar
may be freely permitted.

on the Bear river in eastern Utah,
when a prospector came along one
morning on a mule. He had his jaw

Coffee Is such a secret worker that
It is not suspected as the cause of sick.

sure way to find out the truth.
A lady In Memphis gives an inter-

with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using 1t for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

1t discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly In it's place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and

Schools for Tuberculous Children.

Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established In
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches
ter, Washington. Hartford, Conn, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, d. G.,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark.
~. j.
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment of
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.
