Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views were very ma
terialistic, and at some remark he
made on the origin of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing, so that she retorted: i
really don't care what you say. be-
lieve In the Bible, and there we are
told that Adam was the father Of all
living"
81 really think you are mistaken"
he said with smile, and so the sub
ject dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to bosom friend, told her of the &C.
currence and added: 81 am too morti-
fed, for l have looked the matter up
and it only says that Eve was the
mother of all living, and so l don't
know whether to write to the profess
sor or not"

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act of Ntreet Wait That
Gained Him a Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator OF
many delightful child characters,
earned a million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets of London in search Of
material for his books without a penny
In his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for a penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they were empty,
and so he told the boy. who was shiV-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with jolly
ring In his voice.
Now" he said, well have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to a
better life.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size OF
a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched it caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then | got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after l washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura ONT
ment they seemed to soothe her and
che did not try to rub them off. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We

be SCARED, but it is not" (Signed)

T note your answer to Mrs. L. L. T. under the head of Poultry Raising. The
 United States department of agriculture has put out some good things, and We hope it will improve, but practical poul- ttymen do not pin unlimited faith to their conclusions If your inquirer lives in New York state she can get bulletins from the poultry department of the Col lege of Agriculture at Cornell university, which are among the most valuable of any published in this country. They are not sent ordinarily to those outside the state. Connecticut has a fine poultry ex- pertinent station at Storrs and has put out some valuable bulletins. The Rhode Island college at Kingston has done good poultry experiment work, and it's bulletins are valuable and helpful New Jersey is new in experimental poultry work, but is making promising progress. 1 am referring to these because the in- quirer would naturally ask for help in her own state. The magazines you refer to are probably invaluable to the poultry worker and all are inexpensive. But this printed matter must be mixed with brains to make it helpful. r. H."

Now that Christmas is in the air, and you find the shops twined from end to end with holly and poinsettia blossoms, and every other person wearing a Christmas smile and some of the rest the "hunted' look of him who did not shop carly" there are all sorts of pleas for sugges- tions-for gifts and parties.
 The pleasure of Christmas presents may be greatly increased if the method of dis tribution is original. 1t need not be elab- crate. but if unusual will add zest to the enjoyment of the Yuletide. In an eX- change recently appeared a number or novel suggestions The writer states that an "evergreen pie" served at the Christ mas breakfast table always causes great excitement. To make it, fashion an im- mense pie dish of cardboard, paint 1t leaf green, and cover thiclSly with sprays of evergreen. Put in the presents-all pre- viously wrapped and labelled-and then put on the lid. The latter is shaped in cardboard, and covered with nice ever green. For convenience in serving the pie it is sometimes better to make the Hid" in two parts.
 Another good plan is to have gigantic 'holly stocking" The stocking should be made of crimson cloth, sewn over with sprigs of nicely berried holly; an average size is three feet by one foot; but this varies according to the individual house. hold The presents are all dropped into the stocking on Christmas Eve, and it is then hung by strong crimson ribbons from the calming room ceiling-about six feet from the floor. On Christmas morning the contents of the stocking are distrib- uted by the head of the house.
 A spider distribution of gifts is excel lent fun, and prevents any possibility of time dragging between breakfast and

 noon on Christmas Day. To board in q central spot are attached the ends of a number of balls of different colored string, each bearing a label with a diff ferent name, and q message to this ef- feet: Follow this string, and you will come to presents which are given with mEch love- The string are carried through various parts of the house-usual- ly if is well to limit the hiding places presents being distributed along the way.
 When there are many young people a santa Claus sack causes endless delight. Fol the complete success of the plan il is necessary for the house to have a con- vohient chimney and access to the roof. On Christmas morning each person re- eeives a note from Santa Claus request ing him to be in d special room at d cer- tain time. When the time arrives there is a jinglins of bells in the chimney and then slides down q tempting looking sack From Santa Claus" The plan is simply worked by collecting all presents into a brown sack which is securely fastened. Then on Christmas morning one person goes on to the roof and lets down the chimney rope bearing a strong hook. On to the latter the sack is fixed by an- other person below, the rope is hauled up the chimney a sufficient distance and let down again at the appointed time.

Recipe for Madison Rolls

Here is the bread formula 1 think Julia H. wants. I think it grand:
 Madison Rolls.-These rolls are well worth the little extra time required in making them. They cannot be excelled in their delicious, feathery lightness and flavor. one quart of four two egg yolks, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half pint of liquid yeast, three heaping teaspoonfuls of sugar, piece of butter size of an egg, two large white potatoes, milk enough to make dough as soft as can be handled. Boil and mash potatoes, cream them into the butter, sugar and eggs. Work this smooth, add gradually the flour, then the yeast and the milk last. Be careful and do not get the dough too soft. Knead un- til light, put into well greased crock, arc place in a warm oven to rise for eight hours When well risen turn on f1oured board and roll out an inch thick. Cut with medium biscuit tin. Put rolls into a greased pan far enough apart not to touch let rise until light, which will require one hour; bake in a quick oven
