Beef should be neither too red nor

the fat and the lean shows that the

After drinking water has been boiled

Cotton waste is useful. Grease or

For Our Boy and Girl Readers
HORSESHOES AND LUCK.
Why II Is That Superstition Attaches

to This Iron Footwear.
There are many persons who think
1t is lucky to find q horseshoe, and
they will take it home and nail 1t over
the door to bring good luck to the
house or the barn or wherever it may
be, although they are not always care
full to have the points upward, which
they should be, or the luck may spill
out.
If you ask one Of these people why
the luck should attach to the horses
shoe more than to his bride or bit you
will probably find that they do not
know anything about it. They have
always heard 1t was lucky, and that
ends it.
This superstition goes away back of
the days Of horseshoes as we know
them now and is really attached to the
number Z. From early times many
persons have thought it very lucky to
find anything connected with the nuz,-
Der T. because 1T seems to be a sacred
number and is mentioned Eiore than
any other in the Bible.
1t so happens that a horseshoe usual
ly has seven nail holes in 1t, and that
is the only reason 1t was considered
lucky. If you find one with six or
eight nail holes in 1T 1t would be no
more lucky than a three leaved clover

An Economy Hint.

Shepherds pie may be made from
the left over mashed potato and roast
of a previous dinner. Heat the potato
and beat it light with the stiffiy beaten
white of an egg. Line baking dish
with it, fill it with the meat cut in
slices and seasoned with minced celery,
a bit of onion, some minced parsley
and, If it is at hand, a Spanish red pep
per cut into pieces. Season with salt
and pepper and moisten with sauce
from the roast. Cover the top with
layer of the potato, brush it with egg
and bake until brown. The cold meat
will be more deI1cious If it is cooked
slowly for an hour before putting it
into the pie.

WOLFE REMAINS POPULAR.
Durability Of Material In Its Favor For
Spring and Summer Use.

Durability Of Material In Its Favor For
Spring and Summer Use.
Although silk and satin gowns are
In the forefront, wolfe as a material
viii be used ais much as ever this sum-
mer. 1t has been found SO sadsfac-
tory q fabric for summer wear, as 1t Is
light in weight and color and extreme
ly durable, that it stands to reason
it could not be done away with. There
are Just as many varieties Of voiles as
ever@in fact, more-because now there
are other fabrics included under the
same name, and even grenadines and
crepons are shown as being voiles.
Then there are silk, wool and cotton
voiles, each and every one attractive
in color1ng and texture.
The silk wolfe is used more for even
ing or for the more elaborate style of
dress. The lining must be carefully
considered, for the material being SO
light 1T requires quite a firm founda-
ton. The combination Of wolfe and
satin is satisfactory, as the luster of
the satin adds to the beauty of the
wolfe, while the softnesS and transpar-
ency OF the latter seem to give even
the most beautiful satin an added tone
of softness and depth.
The heavier silk voiles and the wool
yoiles are more used for the short
street gown that is so practical for the
spring and also for summer. Stripes
are fashionable.

CATS EYES AS TIMEPIEcEs.

One Of the Queer Customs In Turkey.
Clocks . Luxury There.
Fifty years ago a watch Or Q clock
was almost as rare In Turkey as an
aeroplane Is In America now. Even to-
day In the smaller cities and villages
house clocks are luxury Of the rich.
Nature supplies the clock of the poor
The crow of the cock is their simplest
timepiece. The sun Is the most depend
able and convenient. The cats eye Is
the most difficult to learn and the
most amusing to consult
One of their methods Of telling time
by the sun is to make a kind of sun
dial of their hands. They hold their
thumbs so that they touch each other
horizontally and extend the forefingers
up perpendicularly Then they divide
the thumb and forehnger of each hand
into six parts, nominal hour points,
one hand representing the morning
and the other the afternoon Accord
ing to this division, where the thumbs
join is II O'Clock, the tip of one fore
finger represents o'clock in the morn
ing, and the tip OF the other o'clock
in the afternoon. The hours between
IL and fall at different points be-
tween the Junction of the thumbs and
the tips of the foreflngers.
Telling the time by cats eye sounds
absurd, but it can be done. Every
one perhaps Is not aware that the
shape of the cats eye undergoes a pro-
gressive change during the day. In
the morning the pupil is round, but as
the day advances it gradually narrows
until at noon it becomes merely mar
row streak. From noon to night 1t
reverses its action, becomes oval at
about O'Clock and is again round at
about g. 1t is common to see old peo-
pie especially call the cat in order to
look at its eyes and thus get some
idea of the hour-Armenia.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

1t is related of Franklin that
from the window of his office in
Philadelphia he noticed a me-
chanic among a number of others
at work on house which was be
ing erected close by who appear
ed to be in a merry humor and
who had a kind and cheerful
smile for every one he met, says
the Washington Herald. Let the
day be ever so cold, gloomy or
sunless, the happy smiles danced
like sunbeams on his cheerful
countenance.
Meeting him one day, Franklin
requested to know the secret of
his constant happy flow of spir-
it's Its no secret, DOCTOR" said
he. I've got one of the best
wives When 1 go to work she
gives me a kind word of encour-
agement and blessing with her
parting kiss, and when I go home
, she is sure to meet me with a
smile and kiss of welcome and
tea is sure to be ready, and as
we chat in the evening 1 find
that she has been doing so many
little things through the day to
please me that 1 cannot find it in
my heart to speak an unkind
word or give an unkind look to
anybody"
A happy smile and a kind word
of greeting after the toll of the
) day is over cost nothing and go
far toward making home peace
full and happy.

her feet 1t wasn't a freight, but a
special, and among the anxious men
who left the coaches and came run
ming along to make inquiries was the
division superintendent
How did it come about7 Why didn't
a man come to give warning?" he
asked.
"a tramp told me OF 1t, and there
was no man to send" she replied
Ten men followed the light of the
girls lantern over the great heap OF
debris and to the depot. The division
superintendent was surprised when she
unlocked the door and entered. He was
more surprised when she laid aside her
sodden hat and cloak and sat down to
the key and began calling each way
and finally received a response He
gave her no instructions. He simply
listened and waited She ordered
wrecking crew to the spot and then
turned from the key to meet his eyes.
"I-aw-beg pardon?'' he said

But, Miss Williams, I was laboring

Six weeks later the division superin-
