A Postcard Party.

At a church social the guests were
asked to bring postcard of interest,
which they were to talk about for
three minutes; the invitations were
issued on postcards bearing a picture
of the church. Judges awarded a post.
card album inscribed with the lines
below to the one who told the most
interesting story. AS the descriptions
were related the cards were laid on a
table where all could see them.
From round the world these cards have
come,
Thro' every sort of weather;
But here they find quiet home
And spend their days together.
Could we but hear with mortal ear
The tales they tell each other,
What joys of travel we might have,
Without bit of bother!

For Twelfth Nioht.

The first special day chronicled for
the glad new years month is
Twelfth Night" which comes on the
sixth. In olden days the celebration
of Christmas lasted until this date, or,
as it was called, "old Christmas" :"
when the Lord of Misrule," whose
reign began on Christmas eve, ended
with the burning of all the Christmas
green's. This was done to propitiate
the evil spirits, who might otherwise
molest the household This will give
the alert hostess the keynote for an
lmpromptu party.
What an opportunity for an oyster
supper after the bonfire, with piping
hot cheese sandwiches made in a
chafing dish! There must be "mys-
terry" cake, too. According to tradi-
ton, 1t should contain two beans. The
ones getting these symbols of favor
are to be crowned king and queen and
for the remainder of the evening
their word is law.
The hostess has an ideal chance in
this to plan series of delightful sur
prises to be carried out for the will
ing subjects. One good stunt is to
command certain couples (congenial,
OF course, that goes without saying)
to discuss great and weighty subjects,
such as, Should Woman Propose?"
How Much Pin Money Should
Wife Have?" can Ideal Way to Spend
a Honeymoon" etc. In 10 minutes a
report is to be made to the royal pair.

Olive Oil for Furniture.

BY pouring a little olive oil over
soft linen cloth and gently rubbing
over the surface of mahogany furni-
ture the white covering caused by
dampness, also all dust, is removed
and leaves the furniture as clear as a
mirror, and saves having it polished.
For easy boot cleaning brush the
boots free from dust, then with g. bit
OF rag rub little glycerin we'll into
the leather. Let nearly dry, then rub
with a soft brush. If rubbed after
wearing with velvet-covered pad or
duster they will retain their polish for
days, and the glycerin helps to keep
the leather a good color and to make
it soft and comfortable to wear.

MUCH CARE NEEDED
CLEANLINESS IN KITCHEN is I'M.
PERATIVE.
Remembrance That "Food and Fin
gers Are Carriers of contaaion,"
Will Help Along a Much
Desired Improvement.

There may sometimes be observed
in the cooked dish loss of flavor, not
bad taste, but alack of what is ap.
petizing. 1t would be interesting to
know in how many cases this comes
from lack of cleanliness in utensils
and methods.
Personal cleanliness is of course es.
sential in the kitchen, and every good
housekeeper endeavors to maintain a
high standard in such matters. Some
food manufactures make special eff.
ports to secure cleanliness and by.
glenlc surroundings, and the good ex-
ample they set should be generally

ing the hands, if seriously taught and
seriously practiced, In the market and
in the kitchen, would go far to remove
the source not only of infection but
of such additions to the food as are
disgusting to think Of In this mat
ter some food manufactures are
cleaner in their methods than are
our kitchens. In one large bakery,
where information was collected, the
rule is in force that every employe
shall wash his hands on returning to
the room after leaving it for any pur-
pose whatever.
The running tap, like the shower
bath, offers a great improvement over
old methods of washing. Few will
have patience to fill and refill the
hand basin until the hands are bathed
ar last in clean water, but this result
is easily accomplished under the tap.
The nail brush and nail cleaner must
have their place in the kitchen, and
their use must be insisted on before
bread or cake is mixed and after work

One a Mile High.
DISAGREEMENT OVER LINE
CASE HAS BEEN TRIED IN TWO
COURTS AND DECISION FAv-
DRIED THE MAYoR-ToWN VERY
INTERESTED.

Eaton, O., June 2.-For the chief
executive Of city to be confronted
with the distasteful proposition of q
spite fence IL . circumstance that de-
fleets from the ordinary. But Mayor
d. J. Miller of Eaton is one in particu-
lar who has not been SO fortunate as
to escape this unusual circumstance.
Four or fve years ago Mayor Miller
purchased q handsome home on East
Main street from Ed Dininger, one Of
the towns prominent business men.
Just west of the Miller residence lies a
vacant lot that Is the property of Mr..
DinGer, who, It is authoritatively
stated. later wished to dispose of the
same to the mayor. The sale Of the lot
to Mr.. Miller was never consummated.
Some time ago Dininger and Mayor
Miller had trouble over a dividing line
between tho residence and the lot, and
so warm was the dispute that 1t had to
be settled in the common pleas court
and later in the circuit court, where it
had been carried by Dininger on an APP
peal. A. verdict favoring Mayor Mil
Ter was rendered in both courts.
A few days ago Mr.. Dininger set q
number of posts on the property line
and planned the erection of fence
about seven feet high. Workmen who
had been employed by Dininger. upon
finding that tho fence was one to be
termed spite" quit the job. and since
then nothing has been done in the mat
ter. No one could be found who would
do the Job.
Al few nights ago every post set by
Mr.. Dininger was pulled from the
ground and carefully laid in a neat
pile. The perpetrators of the joke are
unknown.
The affair has created much amusing
comment in the city because of the fact
that it, mayor and SO prominent a
man ~ Dininger are involved.
It 10 understood that the fence will
be built, despite the resistance offered
by the unrevealed mediator.

type. It's shape is like a cigar. and
it is seventy-six metres long and eight
