There is extremely little doing in the time money
market and it is difficult to discern any definite
tendency in the tone. Lenders have contracted Their
offerings in the effort to better their position and
the inquiry has also dwindled to insignihcance.
The consequence is that the volume Of business is
scarcely sufficient to test the quoted rates Thess
rates are 5a5N cent for sixty days, Per cent for
ninety days, four, five, and six months.
Conditions have undergone material change N
The commercial paper market. While institutions
are still retaining from purchasing to any aprre-

ed, One MortaIIy Hurt.

men parted and lunged with their
weapons until John Jones fell with a
deep thrust through his abdomen and
another through the right lung. John

with his antagonist, gave a queer sob
and crumbled up.
When spectators picked up Jones. he
was dead. Bolzoff was mortally wounded

sons and as witnesses TO the duel.

WHEN EARTH'S LAST PICTURE
IS PAINTED.

When earth's last picture is painted
and the tubes are twisted and
dried,
When the oldest colors have faded,
and the youngest critic has died.
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need
title down for an aeon or two,
Till the master of all good workmen
shall put us to work anew.
And those that we're good shall be
happy; they shall sit in golden
chair;
They shall splash at ten-league can
vas with brushes of comets hair;
They shall find real saints to draw
from-Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
and never be tired at all
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and
no one shall work for fame;
But each for the JOY Of the working,
and each in his separate star,
Shall draw the thing as he sees it for
the God of things as they are

SCHOOL LUNCH.

In few weeks the busy mother will
have the same old problem to face
that she had year ago-that of put
ting up lunches for the children.
There is no denying that it is a
troublesome task for most mothers,
for they realize how much depends
upon the careful selection and prepar
alton of food. One object should be
ever present-the health of the child.
In times back, anything was good
enough for the little folks. People
paid attention to the breeding of live
stock, knew just how to feed and
shelter them in a way to secure their
best development, but the sons and
daughters we're denied much that they
needed, because their development
did not mean dollars and cents. To-
day it is different. All over our land
there is a movement for better babies.
Mothers are learning why their child
rem are sickly, and contests are being
organized by state and county fairs,
towns, churches and women's clubs.
Mothers are becoming more sisterly
to their daughters, and fathers chum
with their sons. In this sweet associ-
alton, children are early learning how
to take care of their bodies, and the
necessity of having a clean mind.
These things, combined with good
food, means healthy and happy chill
dren.
Mothers should see that the basket
or pail is kept clean and sweet; that
no food is left in it over night.
There should be a careful division of
the sweets, starches and acids. Often
there is too much bread or too much
cake put into the box. or one child
may eat most of the pickles.
For sandwiches use ham, tongue,
eggs, baked beans, cold beef, ground
or Clipped lean pork. Plain little
cakes, fruit, cookies, ginger bread, a
few figs, dates and raisins will supply
the sweets. Both graham and white
bread should be supplied.
Paper napkins can be had for fifteen
cents a hundred, and the lunch would

tables For this issue, some old as
we'll as new recipes are given. We
are glad that there is SO much inter-
est taken in the preparation of food.
Years ago everything was cooked in
one or two ways. At the present
time, housekeepers take pride in
knowing how to prepare food in differ
ent ways that are palatable and nutri-
tious. Our old friend, the beet, is
very nourishing, owing to the large
amount of sugar it contains. 1t has
been cultivated for couple of centu-
ries or more, and is a native of the
country around the Mediterranean
Sea.
The SQUASH has been cultivated
since the dawn of history, but the
varieties have been SO changed or
modified by cultivation that the orig
inal can no longer be traced. History
tells us that it's birthplace was prob
ably India, though the Romans were
familiar with some varieties. The
~NN-----~--
Indians we're in possession of some at
SO early date that DR.. Asa Gray
has suggested that they may have been
indigenous to the American plains.
1t should be remembered that beets
should never be cut. Scrub them we'll
and twist off the tops an inch or two
from the beet. By so doing no color
or sugar will be lost. No length of
time can be given for cooking. Pour
over boiling water and keep boiling
gently until done-from one to four
hours. For New England dinner,
boil by themselves, but some of the
water from the other vegetables
should be poured over them while
cooking.
When no larger than a walnut they
may be cooked with the tops, as
green's. Twist off the tops as direct
ed. After washing we'll, drop into
boiling, sailed water. They will cook
in about thirty minutes Drop beets
into cold water to remove skins.
Drain tops to get out all the water.
then chop fine. Butter we'll, add
little lemon juice or vinegar, and
some pepper Cut beets in two and
arrange around the green's. Serve
very hot.
Buttered beets.-Cook and slice.
To each pint add one tablespoon but
ter, some salt and pepper. Serve
very hot with slices of lemon. For
white beets, cook, rub off skins and
pour over rich cream sauce.
Beet salad. Cold, sliced beets on
lettuce leaves. Pour over French
or mayonnaise dressing.
Spiced beets. Boil six pepper
pods, six cloves, pinch of ginger
and half cup of sugar in one quart
of weak vinegar; add one teaspoon
of salt. Pour over sliced beets.
Ready for use in two hours.
Stewed beets. Boil and slice. Put
into pan with piece of butter rolled
in -four, some boiled OF ions and
parsley chopped fine, little vinegar,
salt and pepper. Stew for fifteen
minutes.
Baked beets. Put into oven. While
baking turn frequently. Don't use a
fork, for puncture will allow the
