Antidrudqery Club.

Six women in Chicago have organ
lied club to lessen household cares
Tho club is the possessor of an cleo
trio vacuum cleaner, one electric
washing machine, two electric irons

Genuine Maple SUGAR.

There are few people outside the
maple sugar making districts, says a
writer in the Country Gentleman, who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thus
spoken Of is probably due in a degree
to the same causes that make straw
berries eaten off the vine and cherries
consumed on the tree so delectable.
The writer quoted, however, puts
some of the blame for the poor flavor
of commercial maple sugar on the
"wily wholesale dealer and mixer"

Substitute for Third Decree.

A New York dentist advocates
laughing gas a. a substitute for the
police third degree. He believes that
this, the least dangerous of anesthet-
les, lays open what already is IN the
mind, unconscious of the search for
its secrets. He believes that If a
man who has committed a serious
crime should be questioned about it
during a certain stage of recovery
from nitrous oxide, or laughing gas
anesthesia, he would not only reply
and truthfully, but half minute later
he would realize fully what he had
said.

with the barest necessities. Every

Of one suit and one shirt. During his
last years he lived literally on dry
bread and tea made fresh only once
week. He drank this decoction without
any sugar.
Spitzberger was a frequent visitor
on the Brouse, and made a good deal
of money in lucky speculations. he
was interested in public affairs, but
never bought a newspaper, going at
half past six o'clock every morning
to read the sheets pasted outside the

Spitzberger was for many years
head cashier of large flour milling

age he gave up taking sugar in his
coffee, and persuaded his parents to

way to put in the savings bank. And
