Choosing Ones Work.

This matter of choosing ones life
work is one of the severest tasks a
person has to meet. Many men do
not find their sNheres of greatest
usefulness until middle age, while
others never find them. Education
ought to help one to find his true
sphere. The great difficulty with so
many young people is they show an
adaptability to too many things; they
become what their fellows or instrus-
tors call versatile. The versatile man
sometimes is the worst handicapped
man. He can do a dozen things fair
ly we'll and he spends his time be-
tween them, scattering his fire, in
stead of concentrating on one object,
a single purpose and learning to do
that in the aggregate better than
he could do each of the eleven. The
man who, with a bent for music,
can play half a dozen instruments,
is not nearly likely to play as well
as the man who becomes expert in
the use of that one. The versatile
man is seldom more than an amateur,
being kept out of the professional
class simply because he has never
learned to concentrate his full pow
els on the one thing. Young men
and women must look out for these
pitfalls. The only talent that ever
accomplishes anything worth while is
that trained along a certain, definite,
fixed line.-Omaha Bee.

DRESSING.

For the mayonnaise have all in
beater and fork cold. Use only the
best oil. Put into a pint bowl that
has stood in the icebox or in cold
water until stone cold, a half tea
spoonful each of mustard, salt and
powdered sugar and a few grains of
cayenne or paprika; stir together,
then add the yolks of two eggs, also
ice cold; beat with your folk, then
begin adding gradually a thin stream
of oil, pouring with one hand from
a cup or pitcher and stirring with the
other; go slowly at first; if by chance
you add too much oil do not attempt
to stir it all in at once.
AS soon as the dressing begins to
thicken you can add the oil much
more rapidly until you have turned in
a cupful, or less will do if you do
not are for so much; as the dressing
thickens, substitute the egg beater for
the fork, as it will go much quicker;
when the dressing is thick begin add
ing lemon juice or vinegar; four
tablespoonfuls is the usu;.l amount
for two egg yolks; some prefer Ia
use lemon juice, others half vinega:
and half lemon; alternate with mora
oil if desired, but n cupful is the
usual amount.
When ready to serve a cupful OF
whipped cream may be added or the
beaten whites Of the eggs; do not mix
the dressing with the salad until
ready to serve, as it liquefes when
mixed with vegetables or meat

After fifteen months absence, exactly Is scheduled, Coione Iheouofe
Roosevelt dsembarked from the KaEerin Auguste Victoria SATURDAY morhs
ing. June Is, at IL a m To the keen disappointment of a large group OF
newspaper correspondents, Mr.. Roosevelt absolutely refused, is eretofor
to be interviewed Oh to talk on political subjects, but his rapid ire OF ques-
lions showed the same vrne interest in public affairs as before.
IL the welcome rendered by the vast throng may be considered a
rUerfon which to base a return from EIba," surely there "a no dis
cordant note in the immense reception-parade, TO- in the wildly clamorous
crowd which cheered at every glimpse and hung o n his very word.
The incidents of the day in New York werem many, but perhaps none bet
ter illustrated the nervou energy and vitality of the man, h near-man1a to
be up-anddofng, which he has brought back t o u.s. than the diSard1ng or
horses and carriages for the swifter and more reliable automobiles. Inc
moment the Roosevelt family and immediate party landed, they we're
whisked away in White Steamers tot the home of Mr.. Douglas Robinson at
aga Fifth avenue. A little later, when the procession reached the corner of
Fffty-ntnth street and Fifth avenue, Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preferenc for the motor car in general and the White casin PARTICULAR,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Collector Loeb transferred from their
to White Steamers, which we're in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr.. Robfnsons house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered the White cars and were driven to Long
island CITY. where they we're to take a special train to the ex-Preidents
home at Oyster Bay
The supremacy of the White cars with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated OF Sunday, when the party vas driven to church, the White
Steamers. and a group of some forty prominent Rough Riders were taken
in a White Gasoline Truck to a cambake at the Travers Island clubhouse Of

RESPONSIBILITIES Of Parents.

The old-fashioned mother and the
old-fashioned father have become al
most obsolete in the large cities.
Modern mothers and fathers have
ceased to take their responsibility
seriously. During the early days of
the child's life the task of looking
after and education is large
ly shifted to the schools. The edu-
cation of children, consequently, has
become more automatic, and, nat
uraIly, lacks the individual touch Of
refinement and breeding that can be
obtained only in the home.
Few schools teach kindness, gen
~tleness, courtesy, or u~nselfshness.
Such qualities can be thoroughly in
culcated only in the home. 1t is
by the father making a chum of his
boy and the mother a friend of her
girl that the miracle of a gracious
character can be wrought. If faith
ers would make confidants of their
sons, and mothers confidants of their
daughters, teaching them to share
adversely or prosperity like partners,
there would be less dissatisfaction
and less extravaganza among the
growing generation. By unselfish-
ness they would teach unselishness;
by kindness, they would teach kind
illness; by courtesy. they would teach
courtesy. And the world would be
the gainer.-Washington Post.

"A Burning Eruption Covered Her
From Head to Feet.

-Four years ago | suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After be-
ing given up by my doctor l was ad-
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. At
ter the first bath with Cuticura Soap
and application of Cuticura Ointment
l enjoyed the first good sleep during
my entire illness. | also used Cuti-
cura Resolvent and the treatment was
continued for about three weeks. At
the end Of that time | was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. I would
advise any person suffering from any
form Of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as l know what they

LHle LoSdL LIES

To clean kettles, take equal parts
with water and dip in the mixture.
Will clean off all the black; then
wash as usual.
An excellent remedy for burns is
carron oil, made of equal parts of
linseed oil and gylcerine mixed to-
gether. Put in a bottle and shake
well before using.
Take off front covers and centre
piece, owe fire with new coal; soak
cloths in cold water and put I'VE the
coal; in a few minutes your stove will
be cool enough to clean.
When washing glassware do not
put it in hot water bottom first, as
it will be likely to crack from sudden
expansion. Even delicate glass can
be safely washed in very hot water
if slipped in edgewise.
When placing paper over cake in
oven to keep it from burning it is
quite apt to make it fall. To prevent
this place the paper on top of range
for a moment to warm. 1t is the cold
paper that makes the cake fall.
Take a wet cloth and soap and rub
the nickel, then take a dry WOODEN
cloth and rub until shiny and dry.
Cheaper than nickel polish, and won't
scratch the nickel. Try it once and
l think you will not use anything
else.
To keep milk sweet, place the
pitcher or can in a pail of cold water;
wet a cloth with water; draw tight
over the top, and let the edges just
touch the water in which 1t sets; this
will keep the cloth wet and the milk
will keep two or three days in very
hot weather.

TOnSOriaI Wisdom,

of a barber supply concern on Sew
enth You see a large num-
Der of men shed their boards at the
approach of summer, and a majority,
| should reckon, can't understand
why their strops are not in good
working order. It's because of keep
ing them in warm places, drawers,
closets, boxes, etc. Thus, the oil
dries out, and the snap of the leather
is gone. OF course, it's best to have
a double strop, but the canvas side
should always be first i'll service -

Drifting.

vt is unquestionably true that, not

of it a force to be reckOned with,
there are yet many persons who are
passing their lives in aimless drifting.
