Omission of a Comma

a certain business man Of Rochester
is of opinion that he has an exceeding
ly bright office boy, and nothing pleases
him better than to tell how he acquir-
ed the Youngsters services.
A notice had been posted in the mans
shop window, which read as follows:
Boy wanted about fourteen years"
A lad of that age, with little that was
prepossessing in his appearance, came
into the office and stated that he had
read the notice.
$50 you think you would like to have
the positions" asked the merchant pat
roniZingly as he gazed at the lad over
the rims of his spectacles.
Yes, sir" was the reply, II want
the job, but / don't know that I can
promise to keep it for the full fourteen
years. "-Lippincotts.

TALK ON CEREAL ECONOMY.
How Housewives May Cut Expenses
and Serve Good Dishes,

and Serve Good Dishes.
A goodly share in the present high
cost of living is veritably the cost of
convenience. You buy in handy pack
ages pretty much everything, particu-
larry everything cereal. Take oatmeal,
for example. Bought in bulk, you get
three to four times as much for your
money.
Cornmeal, if it can be had fresh and
un-lliln dried is cheap, hearty, palata BILE
and easy to cook.
Buy a peck of raw wheat-the
plumper and bigger of grain the better.
Take several cupfuls, according to your
need. wash it in tepid water until the
water runs clear, then cover it with
cold water-rainwater if possible-and
let stand overnight where it is neither
hot nor cold. Put on to boil in plenty
of water the first thing in the morning.
Boil up quickly, then set the pot where
it will barely simmer. Cook till the
grain mashes readily between the
thumb and finger, putting in salt to-
ward the end of the cooking. Take
care not to put in too much. If added
at first it hardens the grain. Add more
hot water as the pot boils down, stir
carefully. so there shall be no scorch-
ing. \ double boiler saves trouble, but
takes longer time. At the last let it
cook down until you can just stir it
easily Serve hot either as cereal or
dessert. 1t makes fine pudding
used the same as rice.-New York Trib-

COAT TO SUIT THE FIGURE.
g Fashion Privilege Boon to
Stout and Slender Alike.

A pleasant feature of the spring
suit is that the coat lengths accommo-
date the figure. The stout woman is
not left in despair and a short coat,
and the slender woman can have a
hip length jacket which becomes her.
The hipless figure continues. There is
a gradual return of the normal waist
line. The sleeves are three quarter
and full length and usually set in
plain at the armholes. There is a
slight increase in skirt width, but the
straight line continues.
A great many tailored suits are semi
tailored. There is q use of fabric trim
ming in form Of self covered cords and
folds. Silk, particularly taffeta, is
largely used for these demitaiored
models.
In plain tailored suits the regulation
coat sleeve is seen almost entirely.

PLAY THAT BECOMES LABOR.
Little Mothers" of Japan Carry First
Dolls, Then Real Babies.

Little japanese girls make play Of
one thing that in later years becomes
labor, labor of love though it is. So soon
as girl is old enough, perhaps three
or four, her dolly is tied to her back in
the same way that she was fastened to
her nurses back when she herself was
baby. She carries this about Willie
at play, and as she grows older lar
ger doll is used until she has grown
accustomed to the weight and is able
to carry her baby brother or sister,
thus relieving her mother, who per-
haps works in the rice fields or in q tea
garden.-C Continent

COOKING POTATOES.
o"e.o.e..-s"s-e"s"s"s-s"s-s-.

A boiled potato has much better
favor if cooked in it's Jacket than if
peeled.
In baking potatoes do not put them
into too hot an oven. The high tenn
pcrature makes skins hard, so that the
steam cannot escape, and the result is
Sogginess.
Potatoes should never be covered aft
el they are done and drained from the
water in which they boiled. Steaming
makes them soggy. The water in
which potatoes are boiled should never
be used.
If baked potatoes are left over from
meal cut them in two, scoop out the
center, warm it over in butter with a
little cream and refill into the shells,
then put them into the oven until they
nre slightly Drowned.

FOR THE YOUNG MAGICIAN.
Picking UP Coin From the Table
Without Touchina 1t,

Pick up a coin on the table without
touching either the coin or the table
To perform the feat place your hand
half open at little distance from the
border Of the table near which the
coin is placed
Blow suddenly on the table about
two inches from the coin. The air,
compressed on the lungs, will go be-
meath the coin and make it jump up
from the table into your hand. SO that
by quick action you can catch it.
A little practice will make this simple
trick seem a very difficult matter to
one not acquainted with the art.

AGE OF Is DEAD LINE
+ FOR WOMEN IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The old saw
that "a woman is as old as she looks"
has not found favor in the eyes OF the
directors Of the Chicago Young Wo-
nlen Christian Association. They de-
clare that 25 is the deadline between
sprightly youth and maturity. The
boards opinion was crystalfzed in
|twenty-one pink slips received by a.
many dodgers in the Y. w. C. A. inyit-
ing them to leave. An Indignation
meeting was held and the .'ousted
ones" sought the directors in body.
They were told they had passed the
deadline and would have to move to
make room for younger girls.
This is no old ladies' home" said
Mrs. n. l. Carpenter, the superintend-
ent. When a girl reaches the age OF
% she should be able to take care OF
herself. We have dozens of applica-
tons every day from girls VINO are
young and inexperienced and who
need protection. The old ones must
go to make room for them"

On: our first day at sea there was
a remarkable falling off in the at
