MYSTERIES OF THE DINING.oAR

Inc Kitchen Of dining-car ia a
most exaggerated example of the
economy of space" says r. M. Graves
In the Woman's Home Companion
for March. Every inch is used. Wa
ter-tanks are suspended from the
ceiling. One wall is lined with the
big range and heating ovens. while
on the other are storage-boxes recep-
tacles for pans. pots and. other uten-
siis, and a row of cupboards up nm
der the ceiling. At one end. be-
tween the kitchen and the dining-car
proper, is a little pantry which serves
as sort OF vestibule. That is where
the walters place their orders and
receive dishes.
Every separate article of food and
equipment has its place. Every cor
ner and nook in the car has a par
ocular junction. The silver is in one
place, the milk and cheese in an
otner' the meat in another, and so on
through the list. Everything perish
able is kept in a refrigerator.
While the car is in action the
conductor, from his position between
dining-room and kitchen, keeps his
eyes upon the ten tables and en-
beavers to see that none of the din
ers Is neglected. For all the supplies
on the car he is held to strict ac-
count. On his "trip sheet as it is
called, is put q list of everything
taken on the car when it starts out.
A record of all articles sold is enter
ed upon the sheet, and when the car
comes home again all that has not
been sold must be on hand.
THE equipment of a dining-car
conforms to standards just as do To-
comotives, trucks, rails, and ties I
Dishes are made according to estab-
Hshed patterns, each piece of china
having the company's monogram up
on 1t. The same is true Of the linen,
silver, menu-holders - everything.
Thus loss can be easily traced.
The walters are allowed twenty dol
lars month for breakage. All dam
age in excess of that, though, they
have to pay for, and the cost is d.
V1ded among them equally"

Only one flight Of seven steps. I will

Second step-Breathe good air
day and night.
Third step-Exercise freely in the
open air.
Fourth step-Retire early and rise
early.
Fifth step-Wear flannel next your
skin every day of the year, and so
dispose your dress that your limbs

Sixth step-Live in the sunshine.
Let your bedroom be one which re-
ceives food of light and spend your
days either out in the sunlight or in
a room which is well-lighted.
Seventh step-Cultivate a cheerful
temper. Seek the society Of jolly
people. Absolutely refuse to worry,
and, above all. don't be afraid to
laugh. Live above. Sickness cannot
crawl up there. rarely does it get up
stairs.

HOW CLARA HELPED.
BY "Fernvlew"

cara Henderson was visiting her
aunt, who lived in the city. Clara
was fifteen years old; she had been
lame all her life. She had a very
sweet, lovable disposition, and al
ways endeavored to make the DAYS
pass pleasantly for those around her.
Her aunt was a wealthy woman,
and her children had almost every
thing they could wish for. Clara, be-
lore coming, was afraid she would
not be able to add much to the pleas
ure OF that home. But her aunt, be-
Ing a wise woman, knew that the
gentle influence of the lame girls
presence was just what was needed
TO help her rather boisterous boys
and self-willed little girl. So Clara
was warmly welcomed.
1t was surprising how interested
Joe and Jack, sturdy lads of ten and
twelve years, were in Clara's stories.
They never wearied of them, for this
lame cousin had studied nature at
first hand; while little Ethel simply
adored Cousin Clara. One day the
boys were talking of a woodchuck
which they had seen. Clara said:
"Oh, it will soon be time for the
winter-sleepers to waken" This led
to lively conversation.
She told them that some animals
which hide away in winter are not
wholly asleep all the time. Their
blood moves little, and once in a
while they take a breath. If the
weather is at all mild, they wake up

God Is absolute owner OF all the
wealth Of the world.
God has never modified or surren-
dered His title to the worlds wealth.
God may at any moment take
wealth away from men. or men away
from wealth.
God the Son was at one time rich
beyond all earthly comparison; yet
for mems sakes He became poor, that
men through His poverty might be-
come rich.
God has made men His trustees;
some day they are to give full &C
count Of their trusteeship.
God holds men accountable not for
the good use of money. but for the
best use.
God places no value upon wealth
or upon any other possession of men,
