drew the tattered clothes closer about
the princes breast.
SonorouS and startling came the
stroke Of 9 from the. clock tower. The
young man sighed again. turned his
face for one last look at the house Of
his %relinquished hopes and cried aloud
p~rofane words Of holy rapture.

in the direction of a house with three

And in the morning came along two
policemen or their way to the beats
they owned. The park was deserted
save for II dilapidated figure that
sprawled asleep on a bench. They
stopped and gazed upon it.
"It's Dopy Nike said one. HE hits

The other policeman stopped and
looked at something crumpled and

to study humanity. He found in al
truism more pleasure than his riches,
his station and all the grosser sweets
of life had given him.
1t was his chief solace and satisfac-
tion to alleviate individual distress, to
confer favors upon worthy n who
had need of succor, to dazzle unfortu-
hates by unexpected and bewildering
gifts Of truly royal magniicence, be-
slowed, however. with wisdom and ju-
uiciousness.
And as Prince Michaers eye rested
upon the glowing face Of the great
clock in the tower his smile, alutruistic
as 1t was, became slightly tinged with
Econtempt.
Big thoughts were the princes, and
1t was always with a shake of his
head that he considered the subjuga-
ton of the world to the arbitrary
measures Of time.

Easy enough" said the old man..
"You see. I'm blind by birth myself.

DOUBLE VISION.
1t Affected the OcuIist as Well as the
Patient.

Patient.
A well known oculiSt of New York
city tells il story Of one of his patients
who proved rather more than a match
for him. The patient was an old fell
low from one Of the rural counties OF
the state. fifty years of age or more.
who strolled leiSurely into the doctors
office and, after taking a mental in
ventOry OF the place, remarked that
he was afraid that his eyes were git
ting a lettle out O kilter' and he
a peek at them" He was seated and.
as a preliminary. was invited to look
through a prism at a photograph.
why. now" said he after "squint-
ing" awhile. this is curious! | see
two photographs. What makes me
see like that?"
The ~oculist. who is something of a
humOrist and inclined to be jocose
with certain of his patients, replied
that this phenomenon was certainly
very interesting and that. while pos
sibly it indicated some slight abnor-
mality. it yet had it's ~compensating adj
vantages. witt double vision you
have a great advantage over me. for
example, he continued, smiling. "for
you will be able to see twice as many
beautiful things in the world as can.
You will have twice as many friends.
Your family will be doubled. You will
have twice as much real estate and
two pocketbooks instead of one"
The old man did not say much in
reply. but seemed to be bordering 1t.
Meanwhile the ,oculist completed his
examination. and the time came to re-
ceive his fee. which in this case was
$40.
Very slowly the old man, still pom
dering, drew forth a roll of notes and,
carefully selecting a five dollar bill,
looked hard at it for some moments.
Then. proffering it, he said quietly.
Here's your $40. DOCTOR"

HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT
By Mrs. E. J. Russell

To Reduce Expenses.

AS the cost of living continues to in
crease and most of us find it necessary
to economize Our table expenses, few
suggestions may be helpful.
Soup and salad are wholesome and
inexpensive and prevent one from want
ing too much meat
A good meat-chopper will enable one
to greatly reduce the butchers bill and
will soon pay for itself Put two pounds
of round steak through the mill, mix
with it little salt and pepper, fatten
it out and cook it as you would por-
ter-house steak and you will have
very good substitute. Or chop the beef
as before, add a beaten egg, a cupful
of bread crumbs, little minced onion
if the flavor is 1iked-salt and pepper
to taste. Mix thoroughly and bake,
basting with melted butter and hot
water. A nice beef loaf is the result and
is equal to roast beef sliced cold Stews
are also inexpensive and nutricious.
Vegetables are cheap and plentiful and
one can obtain most anything desired
and if we have learned to utilize the
1eft-overs, we can have variety at small
cost, as nothing need be wasted. If
there is a little corn left, have corn
fritters or add beans and have succo-
tash. Chop cooked beets and serve with
a mayonnaise as a salad or mix them
with cooked peas and cream both for a
vegetable.
Desserts can be made from stale bread
or cake varied with fruits of all kinds
But of course to be a successful econo-
mist, one must give time and thought to
the subject

CIothespin Bag.

Some receptacle for c1othespins is
needed in the laundry, and an apron is
much more convenient than bag. Use
duck for the apron, if durability and
neatness are to be considered. A good,
firm flour sack will answer the purpose
very we'll, but will not be quite as nice.
Cut a piece twenty inches wide by thirty
inches long for the apron. Gather one
end of the piece and make a two-inch
hem on the other end. Turn up eleven
inches of the hemmed end for pockets,
and bind the side edges of the apron
and pockets with strip of the cloth.
Run a seam up through the middle of
the end of the apron This makes two
good sized pockets for the clothespins.
Put band on the top of the apron with
button and button-hole to fasten it.
The white apron will become soiled, but
it can be washed very easily by just
putting it into the boiler of soapsuds
to sca1d after the white clothes are
taken out, and then rinsing. A colored
bag can be used if preferred, but it is
liable to become quite soiled before the
need of washing is realized, while the
white one will be washed frequently and
so kept in perfect order for the clean
clothespins. When not in use for carry
ing the pins to the line the apron strings
are buttoned together and it is hung on
nail in the laundry, holding the pins
like any other bag.

Household Pests.

Last summer my cats were troubled
with heas. 1 procured two ounces, equal
parts, of oil of cedar and oil of penny
royal, and put just few drops here
and there all over the house. I put a
drop on my shoes, and rubbed a little on
the cats necks under the chin, where
they could not reach it with their tom
CUES, as it is poisonous, and the feas
vanished. This mixture also helps keep
away mosquitoes and flies, and COM
bined with borax will clear the house
of ants and cockroaches. Equal parts
of oil of pennyroyal and oil of tar rub
bed on the face and hands will keep
away gnats, mosquitoes and black flies
when you are off in the woods, fishing
picnicking Or botanizing. Camphor gum
and whole cloves put away with furs
and fannels will protect against moths
and bufalo-bugs. Corrosive sublimate
and eternal vigilance will exterminate
begbugs, while rats have so strong an
aversion to peppermint that they will
leave a house or barn where the herb
is kept or the oil is poured.-E. E, R.

Saving at the Flour Barrel.
Bv Shar1ot M. Hall.


The waste through the Aour-barre1 is
one of the larger leaks in the average
family, yet every crunb of bread and
cake may be utilized with little fore
thought In the first place, save the
crumbs from the bread-dish and cutting
board in a wide-mouthed jar with
cover. Use this also for all crusts. loaf
ends and scraps Stale bread need not
go into puddings or the breading-can
habitua1lv, though there are housekeep-
ers who undervalue the latter Crumbs
for breading should be dried in slow
oven, but not Drowned; then, instead
of rolling them fine on the bread-board,
put them in a clean hour-sack and pound
them with fat-iron or hammer. Turn
out into four-sifter, and sift the fine
crumbs through, pounding the coarse
ones again until all are fine enough.
Keep this in cans or fruit-jars with
tight covers Use in place of cracker
crumbs or flour on all fried meat, cro-
quettes, potato and squash cakes. Mix
some of it with any croquette material
of which you have short quantity, and
add it to hamburg steak and meat-loaves.
The better use of stale bread is making
it into bread again.
CRUMB LoAF-Two beaten eggs, one
cupfu1 of sweet milk, pinch of salt
and one tablespoonful of sugar. Stir in
enough bread-crumbs to make thin
batter, then add flour enough to thicken
like corr-bread, and one teaspoonful Of
baking powder Bake quite brown, and
eat warm for breakfast or supper

lie. Either can be made to pass mus
ter three times as the staple of the sim
pie meal which we call dinner Each
time the meat will go a long way, each
time be relished, and any that is left for
next days luncheon will be welcome.
SPAGHETTI STEW-Cut cold roast meat
into small slices; to a pint of sliced
meat take a cup of broken, uncooked
spaghetti, one-half cup of gravy from
the roast, cup of canned tomatoes or
two small fresh tomatoes, one medium
sized onion and dozen whole cloves
Cover the meat with cold water, add the
onion, sliced, season with salt and pepper
and simmer till tender, one or two hours.
Then add gravy, spaghetti, tomatoes and
cloves, simmer half an hour longer, and
thicken if liked with a flour and water
paste.
MEAT CRoQUErrEs- and one-half
cups of cold meat chopped fine, one
half cup of minced fresh celery, two
hard cooked eggs chopped fine, two
tablespoons of gravy Mix all together,
bind with half cup, or less, of thick
white sauce made with milk, and season
to taste with salt, pepper and a dash
of Worcestershire. Make into cro-
quettes, egg and crumb them and fry
in hot, deep fat.
"RED Hor"-This is quick of prepara-
ton and calls for tender, juicy meat
1t is a good chafng-dish recipe. Mix
we'll one tablespoon of Worcestershire
sauce, one tablespoon of tomato catsup,
one-ha1f teaspoon of made mustard, half
cup of gravy from roast, half cup
of hot water, and salt and cayenne
pepper to taste Cook a tablespoon of
flour in one of butter and add the above
mixture slowly to make a thick sauce
Then add one pint of cold meat diced
or cut in thin slices, and let the whole
stand without boiling until the meat is
heated through. Pour over triangles of
hot buttered toast.

Woman's Work.

Women in general underestimate the
value of their own labor and accom-
p1ishments. Every woman who is the
head of wel1-kept home has founded,
and, is maintaining, most complex in
stitution-one demanding the most
varied qualities of head and heart, the
most diverse accomplishments of hand,
the highest attainments of both mental
and physical strength She must mar
shall all her forces in order to meet
the contingencies that arise, and it is
usually done in so successful a manner
that those nearest and dearest take it as
a matter of course, never thinking that
the home might be otherwise than or
derly and agreeable, and seldom remem-
bering that few words Of praise from
their lips would materially Tighten that
labor A genuine heroine is one who,
in whatever position in life she is placed,
sets for herself lofty and noble ambi
ton, and perseveres until she stands on
the pinnacle of success. And what
higher ambition could wife and mother
have than to see her children grow into
the future leaders of thought and great
enterprises? Read, talk, write, if posi-
bic. The best material grows rusty if
not subjected to constant rubbing-up.
Keep your eyes and ears open for your
chi1dren's sake, if not for your own
Keep your minds active. Don't place
your standard of excellence so much on
perfect housekeeping as on perfect fam
lily wholesomeness and deve1opment.-
