OF Interest to the Children
MANDRAKE OR MAY APPLE.
Many Legends Cluster About This
Queer Shaped Fruit.

Many legends cluster about the man
drake or May apple, most probably
because it bears a distant resemblance
to the human figure.
The forked root gives it the appear
ance of having legs, and fibers grow
ing about the top suggest hair, be-
meath which the wrinllled and twisted
head looks out like a queer little old
mans face.
A person skillful with a knife can
make mandrake look very human in
deed. Many of these We're sold in Ger
many for quite large price, as much
as Ga thalers being obtained for one
in 1915.
A very strange, not to say mean,
way OF making money, by means Of
mandrake. offers itself, so superstition
says, to the person who will steal a
piece of money from poor widow be-
tween the chanting of the epistle and
gospel on Christmas, Whitsuntide or
Easter and place it under a mandrake.
The coin is said, under these condi-
tons, to draw to itself coins of the
same denomination from the pockets
Of passersby.

A Laundry ACCESSORY.

A convenient thing to have in the
laundry if you have it to spare is an
old trunk tray. Hang 1t up in a handy
place by the strap when not in use.
On ironing day use it to put the table
napkins, doilies, lunch cloths, towels
and tablecloth in. AS they are ironed
lay each kind in separate piles. The
tray can be carried to the sideboard
or linen closet. This will be found a
far easier way to care for these things
as they are ironed and a much more
comfortable way to carry them to the
places in which they are kept.

AN UNUSUAL MIsHAP.
Fat Baby Fell Into Well In Texas and
Stuck Fast.

A Texas baby, eighteen months old,
has had remarkable experience. On
the farm a ten inch well had been
bored to the depth of twenty nine feet,
and one Sunday when the workmen
were absent baby undertook to inves-
tigate the hole in the ground, and it's
feet slipped and it fell, or rather slid, in.
Fortunately it was a fat baby, and
after going down seven or eight feet it
stuck fast. By mere chance the mother
saw the child disappear, apparently
sinking into the earth, and gave the
alarm at once.
The child could not be reached and
had not sense enough to grasp rope
and be hauled up, so the neighbors got
to work and dug hole alongside of
4the boring. When it was sunk to suf-
ficient depth tunnel was run side
ways and, the baby brought out In
safety.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

REMOVING Coffee Stains.

A coffee stain, so hard to remove
when once "set" with soap, will easily
come out before laundering. Place a
pan under the stain, rub it with borax
and pour boiling water slowly over the
borax so that it drips through the ia
blecloth into the pan underneath. A
small stain o. this kind may be re-
moved from clean tablecloth while
it is still on the table. A deep saucer
may be placed under the stain to
catch the few spoonfuls of water that
soak through 1t. When the moisture
has dried out the saucer may be re-
moved and the tablecloth used as IL
no stain had marred 1t. Tea stains
win usually como out in the same way.
