he says black is white that settles

The man. on the farm can ar
range his work so as to have plen

calling on neighbOrs and going to
fairs, and still his crops need not

There are 100 chances for pleasure

There is a mistaken notion of
country people. The average city
man works just as long as the
farmer. One of the writer's boy

friend was having. When he came

not working he was asleep; he

but once in SIX months. We
had never considered that it take.
about the same amount of time
to earn living in town as in the
country.
Now, as to what can be done
on a small farm. The writer has
a friend who has 80 acres of good
Lard in Illinois. He has sold on
an average the past three years
1000 worth of milk, raised the
feed for his cows on his own farm
and one year sold $50 worth of
hay. He has received an average
of $l.lO per hundred out of which
he pays nine cents per hundred
for hauling. In a great many
cases where a man has done unus-
ually well the papers will say tina
he had everything just right, and
that the average farmer cannot
have the same conditions. This
mans COWS are kept in a barn
which cost probably 5000 twenty
years ago. They are just common
cows that are bought around at
sales and are not fed any fancy
feeds, nothing but hay and ground
feed which are produced on the
place. The man himself would
laugh at the idea of being a scien
tific farmer. These COWS are fed
and MIXED regularly, well taken
care of and for results, l have ne1
er heard Of anything that beats
1t.
My friend has a nice home, lots
Of fruit, chickens and a big gar
den, raises his own pork, and his
smoked ham is worth going a long
way to eat, but he does not figure
anything on these-conSiderS ther
incidentalS. His figures are on
cash received for milk. This man
Is hH own boss, does not have to
ask anyone what he shall do, and
| cannot understand how any MAJ
who owns a farm would leave it
for a job in town.

Girls and Their Eiuures.

Stiff cOrSets are unknown in France.
French corsets are always supple and
bendable, and this much accounts for
the case of French figures, which are
never tightened except at the waist,
leaving the bust and hips quite free
If the figure is frightened in too
much it gives too straight look to
the figure and makes it stiff and un-
comfortable, movement being ren.
dered ungraceful by this stiffness. Let
any girl try to lace her corset only
ut the waist and let her select 1t as
soft and light as possible, and then
see if her figure be not as graceful
in shape as the French figure.
No tight, straight down, even Ia
cling will ever make a pretty figure.
If the corset cannot be made express
ly to suit the figure. then let it only
be laced in the middle of the waist.
Even then no real corset should be
worn by girls until they are we'll in
their teens.

GOOD FROZEN DISH
MOUSSE ALWAYS WELCOME ON
SUMMER DINING TABLES.
Has No Superior as a Hot-Weather
Delicacy-Point to Bear in Mind
Is Length of Time Needed
in Preparation.

There are two forms of mousses
quite distinct from each other in
make, but both prepared in the same
way by freezing without the tiresome
work of turning the crank of the
freezer. Although the labor of pre-
pairing the mousse is slight, it takes a
long time for the freezing, so if the
mousse is to be served at dinner at
night it should be made in the early
morning. The name mousse is de-
rived from the messy appearance OF
the frozen dish.
In freezing pack in equal parts of
ice and coarse salt. A point to re-
member in freezing the mousse is to
make the lid of the mold brine tight
by rubbing it with melted fat Among
the sweet mousses are maple, cara.

Chicken Mousse.-Scald one cupful
of rich milk, add to it the yolks of
three eggs well beaten, and salt and

gelatin that has soaked for an hour

potted chicken which comes in the
form of a paste or chicken chopped
t1ne and pressed through a sieve. Pour
the hot custard over this, then stir
the mixture in pan of ice until it Is
smooth and commence to stiffen. Add
one cupful of whipped cream, then
pack in one large mold or the patent
individual charlotte russo molds and
cover with ice and salt.
When cold and stiffened turn on a
bed of white lettuce leaves. If char
lotte russo molds are used, fill the
centers with sliced heart celery and
nut meats marinated with French
dressing. Crown with mayonnaise
Ham mousse can be made in the
same way. If potted chicken or ham
is used be careful about adding much
other seasoning, as both are highly
seasoned when packed.

Hardwood Floors.

To repolish hardwood floors, melt
half pound of pure beeswax and add
a pint of turpentine and half as much
ammonia Stand the mixture over a
boiling kettle, in order to keep it
warm. Apply to the floor with flannel
cloth and let stand until quite cold.
Now as to polishing, the merriest and
quickest method is to give the chill
dren a lark. Collect from the rag
bag all the discarded stockings and
socks, draw them on over the chill

he went back to her again. l could

The wind slammed the door between
the two rooms just then, and l could
hear nothing more, although 1 moved
my chair quite close. After a dis

bed, and because she looked tired

An Eea-Noq and a TELEGRAM.

We had discovered Louise at the
lodge Tuesday night. 1t was Wednes-

Thursday and Friday were uneventful,
save as they marked improvement in
our patient. Gertrude spent almost
all the time with her, and the two had
grown to be great friends. But GER
tain things hung over me constantly;

Arnold Armstrong, to be held Satur-
day, and the arrival of Mrs. Arm
strong and young DR.. Walker, bring
ing the body of the dead president of
the Traders bank. We had not told
Louise of either death.
Then, too, 1 was anxious about the
children. With their mothers inheri-
tance swept away in the wreck of the
bank, and with their love affairs in a
disastrous condition, things could
scarcely be worse. Added to that, the
cook and Liddy had flare up over the
proper way to make beef-tea for
Louise, and, of course, the cook left.
Mrs Watson had been glad enough,

and morning to greet his young mis-
