'Oah, yess." There was joke Turk

the young Hebrew had not caught its

A farmer who was known to be
very mean bought a coat for his serv-

coat fitted on, the farmer remarked:

When you clean the ebony brushes
on your toilet table, rub a little vas
cline over the backs before you wash
the bristles, as this prevents the soda
or ammonia in the water injuring the
ebony. The vaseline should afterward
be removed by polishing the backs
with a dry cloth.

wit when he said:

All the clerks guffawed in chorus.
Fortunately. Isaacstein was in a good

Isaacstein yielded TO amazed curios-

way to his private office, surprising
himself as well as his assistants by
this concession.
Philip closed the door and Isaacstein
turned sharply at the sound. but the
boy gave him no time to frame a ques-
ton.

handing over the diamond.

Isaacstein took it, and gave it one
critical glance. He began to wabble
again.

rather that he wished 10 rehearse care

cided that the meteor should not be

and would demand its earthly pedi

Household Suggestions

To keep butter cool dissolve a little
saltpeter in cold water, put this in a
large bowl ana stand the basin con-
tanning the butter in it, allowing the
water to reach nearly to the top Of
the butter bowl. Cover the small
bowl with a piece of muslin, placing
the ends to rest in the saltpeter water
This will keep it as cool as if placed
on ice.
To clean much soiled hands do not
go to work roughly with brush and
soda water, but loosen the dirt by
rubbing the hands well with sweet oil,
or even lard or dripping. Then wipe
off the grease as much as possible
with piece of soft paper or old rag.
and wash the hands with warm water
and soap.
