COT BY THE SEA
How a Woman With Ideas Fur
nished Her Home.
AN INGENIOUS ExPEDIENT.

a Beautiful Plan to Amuse Children on
Rainy Afternoon-In China They
Call "HeIIo" Girls by PoetieaI Names.
The New Outing Hat.
Dear Elsa-I have been spending the
week end with some friends Of mine
who have bought a wee cot (Which
really isn't wee) at a summer resort
about an hours ride from New York
city. This gabled cottage looks for all
the world like the gardeners lodge of
an English country estate. It is only
one story and half high, but ram
bles over fifth Of an acre Of ground
and has bewildering hooks and Gran
MES both inside and out Don't you
love such placer The lower portion
or the house Is Of dull soft red brick.
The upper part is Of gray rough finish
ed plaster inclosed in squares Of dull
black beams. The easement windows
open on charming views Of green
woods and blue sea- Can't you see the
place in your minds eye, and the
porch. too, which shelters high back
ed settle on either side Of the door?
And where the big chimney juts out
from the house wall there is cover
ing Of wistaria and ivy. It's all so new,
yet there's a delightful appearance Of
age about the place.
Az know that you are interested
IN houses, both inside and out, am 60
ing to make you mentally see how this
cottage owner who had ideas has ar
ranged the exterior Of her home. Here
goes: The living room would seem
rather bare to any one who had taste
for artistic litter, but, thank goodness,

clever REASONING.

Rather an original lesson In political
economy was that once taught by the
japanese nobleman Awoto and thus
translated by Sir Edwin Arnold In
Seas and Lands"
One evening as he was going to the
palace to take his turn In keeping the
night watch he let ten cash drip oui
of his finder case into the stream and
then bought fifty cash worth Of torches
to search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at him for spending so much
in order to recover so little. and he re-
piled, with frown:
"Sirs, you are foolish and ignorant OF
economics. Had l not sought for these
ten cash they would have been lost
forever-sunk In the bottom of the
Namerigawa. The fifty cash which
have expended on torches will remain
In the hands Of the tradesman. Wheth
er he has them or is no matter, but
not a single one of the sixty has beer
lost, and that is clear gain to the
country"

DAINTY SANDWICHES.
How to RssaIe the Unexpected 7.

How to ResaIe the Unexpected Tea
Guest.
There is no edible more convenient
and generally acceptable at little par
ties and picnics than the sandwich,
but inexperienced persons make the
mistake of using only heavy meats and
one kind Of bread. To be the delecta-
BILE and comfortable morsel it should
be the sandwich supplied for the gala
occasion must express the utmost So
phistication Of taste, and the filings
and bread castings should be varied as
much as possible.
White, gluten. graham, brown and
rye bread are all used for the dainty
bites given at smart functions. With
cheese soda and salt biscuits are COM
bined, and filing Of whipped cream
and nuts is put between sweet crack
ers. At tea lately given there were
even sandwiches of brown bread filed
with paste Of baked beans, the whole
made gay to the eye and fascinating
to the palate with a shredded covering
Of pimentos. Red and green pepper
sandwiches are common for beer sup
pers. These peppers are shredded fine
and put with thin white bread cut in
] the slim two inch strip liked by the
| masculine eater.
| At the afternoon teas patroniZed by
women the fixy sandwich is liked
the tiny triangle Of wafer-thin white
bread with filing Of mayonnaise on
lettuce or the triangle Of crisp toast
holding light spread Of foie gras.
Sardines. anchovies, shredded chick
en- and broiled bacon go especially we'll
with toast castings for substantial sand
wiches, and If dust of cayenne pep
per and squeeze of lemon juice are
added after the salt the taste of these
sandwiches will be delicious. In the
making of all fish and meat sand
witches the seasoning counts greatly,
and If the taste is not just right at
| first the clever cook will know how to
add this or that thing until it is per-
| feet.
For example, one housekeeper who
found herself called upon unexpected
ly to regale some guests one evening,
having nothing else in the house, made
sandwiches Of some bits Of chicken
dressing. warmed up for the occasion.
with a pinch of curry added. Another
housekeeper-she was bride, by the
way-grabbed up box of marshmal-
lows after the handshaking and. leav-
ing hubby to do the honors, returned
from the kitchen presently with these
delectable sweets toasted and put be-
tween some thin sweet buns she had
made for supper. A pinch Of home
made grape jelly put beside the soften
ed candy gave the taste sublime.

Dissertation Of : Mounta;n
EooIed tha kirc

In one Of Sir Richard Francis Bur-
toms rare collections of ancient Ara.
bian stories Is a story of how the king
went into the dark among his sleep
ing slaves and detected the man he
was after by putting his head upon all
their breasts and listening to the tumult
Of the heart. The king cut off a lock
Of the culprit's hair, so he could tell
him next day. But what did the sly
rascal do but sneak up and cut every
other slaves hair. When all the slaves
were mustered next day before the
throne the king saw he was beaten
by a master mind and said, Don't dare
do 1t again" The king ought to have
tried the Chinese test by giving them
dry rice grains to chew. In fright the

has to spit bis rice out dry.-New York

The Home of Musical Fish.
Lake BatticaIoa, Ceylon, has the
probably unique distinction of being
the home of musical fish. The sounds
emitted by these are said to be as
sweet and melodious as those which
would be produced by series of aeo-
Ian harps. Crossing the lake In boat
one can plainly distinguish the pleas
ant sounds. If an oar Is dipped in the
water the melody becomes louder and
more distinct

LET THE YAWN COME.
A Good One Is Splendid Thing For

A Good One Is Splendid Thing For
the Whole Body.
A good, wide. open mouthed yawn IL
a splendid thing for the whole body. A
yawn is natures demand for rest
Some people think they only yawn be-
cause they are sleepy. but this is not
so. You yawn because you are tired
You may be sleepy also. but that is not
the real cause Of your yawning. You
are sleepy because you are tired, and
you yawn because you are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it be-
cause you think it is impolite to yawn.
Put your hand over your mouth If you
waat to. but let the yawn come. And
II you are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way OF
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed. if you are
very tired. but do not feel like yawn
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on straight back
chair and. lifting your feet from the
floor, push them out in front of you as
far as possible. stretch the arms, put
the head back. open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested DO this two
or three times when you are tired and
see what it will do for YOU

In the Bookkeeper is recorded a case

few Canadians had opened up a coal
mine, the product of which they sold
to the surrounding farmers. Settlers

cost them from 81 to 50 ton, accord
