sons of former Mayor Joyner, and Cap

tasks were being selected by the daugh
tiers until they all became proficient in
most Of the necessary branches Of
homemaking. The plan not only help
cd the mother and taught the daugh-
tiers, but also served to prevent shirk-
Ing, jealousy and that constant nag

and the Home Sphere
ON YOUR BAKING DAY.

Light, tender doughnuts are made
with a cupful Of sugar, a teaspoonful
OF butter, two eggs and a cupful of
milk. Mix in a scant pint of -four
that has been sifted. with two round
ing t~easpoonfuls of baking powder,
making a paste that is soft. Stand the
bowl containing it On the ice until it
is very cold and then roll it out and
fry before it loses its shape. The idea
is to make the paste a little softer
than can be rolled before it is stiff
with cold and so to use as little -four
as possible. The doughnuts should be
turned continually while frying.
There Is an old fashioned cake which
is possible If one has at hand a eupful
Of sou cream. Cream the yolks of
three eggs with a cupful of sugar and
when the mixture is light beat in a
cupful of cream in which has been
dissolved a scant t%caspoonful of soda.
Then add a pint Of -four, a little salt
and a t~easpoonful Of lemon extract.
Bake In an oblong shallow tin.
Bread and cake should be cooled as
soon as they come from the oven. 1t
is a mistake to turn bread and cake
out on the bread board and then cover
with a cloth. Instead have a bread
and cake cooler. which can be made
at small cost. Buy about two feet Of
rather fine heavy fence wire and get
the tin mar to turn down on each end
about four inches Of the wire aud bind
the ends with tin to prevent their
scratching everything with which they
come in contact. There could not be
a better cover for cake and bread.

GERANIUM AS A BAROMETER.
II Will Indicate Whether Living Condi-
ton of Room Is Sanitary.

Experiments carried out by Louis
Withhold and Professor William Albert
Locy of Northwestern university show
that a growing plant is a barometer of
the living conditions of a room and
none more so than the old fashioned
geranium. Almost all kinds Of plants
require the same things TO sustain life
as human beings, but show a lack Of
these necessities quicker. so that their
i'll health and whiting may give warn
ing of the unhealthy living condition
of a room.
In order 10 live a plant must have
water. of course. and light in most
cases, but few realize that it must have
air TO breathe MS well. for there is res
piration in plants as well as in human
beings. Plants breathe the air through
the leaves, and much of their susie
nance comes from that medium. If the
air in u oom is too dry. as in most
steam heated rooms, there is difficulty
in making some plants live. The air
lacks something that they must have
and that is just as necessary TO human
life.
Ferns. roses and gerauiums are sen
sitiye. The atmosphere in which a
geranium will not live is not fit for
human beings.

NEW RECIPE FOR BEAUTY.
Do Not Laugh If You Wish to Remain
Young.

S6
A new plan for attaining or retain
ing beauty comes out on the average
once a week, and some of the sugges-
tions are sufficiently weird, but one
recently offered has certainly not been
surpassed in strangeness, says the New
York Times London correspondent.
1t is simply that the person who de-
sires to remain young should refrain
from laughter. You must. according
to a lady who described the system,
choose between looks and laughter.
The two cannot go together. Laugh
ing lines wrinkles the face.
There has lately sprung up in Lon
don a set of expressionless women
she added. These w~omen-there are
from fifty to eighty of them at the
moment-steadily refuse to laugh at
anything. They are all. more or less.
forty years old-woman's dangerous
age-and it is their daily belief that
by refraining from laughing they are
retaining their looks.
II first met the high priestess. of the
cult at the last big reception at STAFF
ford House. and a few days later l
went TO tea with her.
"She has a beautiful but impressive
face. She does more thar keep her
face from smiling. 4 haven't laughed
for two years. she told me with the
nearest approach Of joy which she
permits herself: also she avoids all
manual work and strain.
For example. she began to pour
tea and then, apparently remembering
that even this might cause some ex-
preston to come into her face. sud
denly stopped and ordered a manserv-
ant to do it for her. a woman can
keep ten years off her face by avoid
ing doing things like that she ex-
planned.
This woman and her following have
almost reduced keeping straight faces
to a second nature"

Spinnino a Tray.

A small circular metal tray Of the
waiter type is turned face down ON the
table and raised a few inches on the
left side. Set it vibrating by pressing
1t smartly at a point between the cen
ter and the circumference with the
middle finger of the right hand. with
dra wing simultaneously the support of
the left hand. If pressed down at
regular intervals as it wabbles it con-
tinues to vibrate indefinitely. With
practice one picks up the knack Of
timing the impacts exactly.

For Our Boy and Girl Readers
COMBINING PETS IN CAGES.
It Is Selfish to Keep Them Prisoners
For Amusement.

If you keep any pets remember to
attend to their wants regularly. Do
not forget to feed and keep clean any
animal you cage. or, better still. refuse
to keep any animal or bird in a cage.
1t is most selfish to keep any pet
merely to hear it sing or because it
amuses you to watch its vain endeav-
ors TO escape. Remember how you
feel when illness keeps you confined,
perhaps to n room, and then you
will understand in a small way what
a bird. taken from a country hedge or
wood, must feel like when Gagged and
kept in a dull room, lonely and robbed
of all that should make its life healthy
and ~happy.-Our Dumb Animals.
