Best of Care.

A physician tells in the Newark
Star a story of philanthropic doc.
tor in a Pennsylvania mining town
who gave new thermometer to each
family, with the urgent advice to keep
their houses at proper temperature.
When he was making his rounds
one day he saw his thermometer
hanging in the room. He asked the
woman of the house II she remem.
bered his instructions.
Indeed, sir, do" was the response,
81 hang the thing right up there, and
I watch 1t carefully to see 1t does not
get too high"
Good" exclaimed the doctor. "And
what do you do when the temperature
rises above 70 degrees?"
why, SIR" answered the woman,
with the air of one faithful to a trust,
when 1t gets too high. take 1t down
and put 1t outside until 1t cools off,

FOR LUNCH OR DINNER
FOUR ooop RECIPES THAT ARE
OF VALUE.
Pressed Beans and Sausage Make an
Excellent Dish to Serve at Either
Meal-Spanish Ham and Eggs
Worth Trying.

Pressed Beans and Sausage.-Let
one pint pea beans soak over night;
wash, drain and cook until very ten
der, but not broken, in boiling water.
Put the beans in baking dish with sau-
sage here and there, using about one
half pound sausage. Dissolve one Ia
blespoon salt in one pint boiling wa
ter and pour over the beans, adding
more If needed. Bake five or six
hours and serve hot with catsup or
any other table sauce.
Spanish Ham and Eggs.-Cut stale
bread into one-half inch slices and
soak until soft in one cup milk mixed
with one beaten egg. Fry a delicate
brown, on a well-buttered griddle or
spider. Mix one cup of minced left
over ham and one-third Of minced left
crumbs with milk to moisten, or
with the remaining egg and milk
Heat 1t and season with pepper.
Cook several eggs in water just be-
low the boiling point until firm enough
to keep in shape after removing the
shells Put whole egg on two slices
placed side by side and serve at
once.
Cream Of Celery Soup.-Wash and
cut into inch pieces one bunch Of cell
cry, boil 1t in one pint of salted water
until tender enough to mash and
strain; melt one tablespoon Of gelatin
until smooth and stir into one pint
OF hot milk or cream; then add to
the celery, with salt and pepper. and
boil all together for five minutes. A
few drops Of onion juice improves this
dish for some people. A good and
easy way to Get onion Juice is to rub
the onion, after the outside skin has
been removed, on a rough crater.
Four to eight drops gives sugges-
tion, without the positive onion flavor.
Cream Of celery with stock: This
is a delicious soup. 1t requires a
white broth for stock, and in this
(which may be made Of veaD cook
plenty of white stalks of celery, pass
through a sieve and thicken with
flour mixed smoothly in milk; add but
ter and stir WELL
Steamed Peach Roll. - Sift two
two cups of flour with one scant tea
spoon Of salt and three tablespoons Of
baking powder, rub one rounded table
spoon of butter and moisten with
enough milk to make a rather stiff
dough. Place on Toured board, pat
into rectangular shape, cover with
sliced peaches, dust with -four and
sugar, roll into loose roll, pinch the
edges together, wrap in a Toured
cloth and steam one hour Serve
with peach sirup slightly thickened
with arrowroot or cornstarch.

Age of Fish.

The age Of a fish is not at all indi-
Gated by the size, and scientists were
for a long time unable to arrive at
any accurate determination of the age
of fish. Within more recent times it
has been discovered that many of the
bones, scales and otoliths Of fishes
have annual age-rings, resembling
those in tree-trunks, and by means Of
these investigators have determined
the rate of growth of plaice, showing
that some specimens attain the age Of
twenty-five, or even as much as twen-
ty-nine years. Age can now be cor
related with size and weight, although
1t appears that the sexes have differ
ent rate Of growth.

HAPPY WITHOUT GIFTS
CYNTHIA MISSED NOTHING REAL
ON HER WEDDING DAY.
Episode That Makes Plain There Are
Two Ways of Looking at Things,
but Sylvia Was Unable to
Understand II.


All the evening Dick had seen that
Cynthia had something on her mind; i;
at last she spoke:
Il went over to see Sylvia today.
Her dining room is beautiful. She
had nine berry bowls!"
Three weeks from now," said Dick,
you may have 20"
And five gilt clocks-why, she
even has one in her kitchen"
If you want gilt clock I'll buy
you one tomorrow" Dick promised
But Cynthia was not ready to laugh
Dick, never quite realized 1t all
before. Sylvia and Bert had to buy
cabinet to hold the cut glass, and
Of course they felt that they must
buy one worthy Of the glass. Then
they had to buy the rest of their fur
niture to match the cabinet, and SO
they have nothing left for the library.
And then Sylvia said they had SO
much to pay back
20, Dick, think of having pay
back feeling about your wedding!
Somehow 1t seemed as II Sylvia's
gifts had been just things; you could
see that that was all they were to her.
1t frightened me a little. II every
thing wasn't planned and the girls
gowns made, / believe I'd give it all
up, and have just the few dearest
people that we know love usv
OF course Dick had many things to
say, and when he left Cynthia was
half-comforted-but only half; and
when, the next day, the first gift ar.
rived, and 1t was berry bowl, she
felt like laughing and crying at the
same time.
Then. suddenly, everything was
changed. Mrs. Wilmot, her mother,
became seriously i'll, the invitations
were hurriedly recalled. and for many
weeks there was no time to think OF
anything except the invalid. When at
last she began to recover, few
friends gathered at the house one aft.
ernoon and Cynthia and Dick were
quietly married.
ut is such pity that you had te
miss your big wedding and your
presents and ALI" Sylvia Peabody
said, pityingly.
But l didn't miss anything" Gym

know. Of course, that you had some
lovely things, but SO few. We had
over forty pieces Of cut glass alone
81 remember. You had beautiful
gifts" Cynthia said, gently.
Now what" Sylvia asked her hus
band that night, do you suppose Gym
thia meant? 1t sounded as II she
were sorry for me. Cynthia Wilmo,
always was queer, anyway!"-Youth's

COURT SECRETS TOLD
INTERESTING ANECDOTES ABOUT
THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA.
BY No Means as Sweet Tempered at
Home as She Appeared to Her
Subjects-Once Threw Cup Of
Tea In Husbands Face.

THE Married Life of Queen Vic
toria," which has been compiled by
Mrs. Jerrold, carries a stage further
the study of the queen, which she be-
gan in "The Early Court of Queen
Victoria" and many interesting little
anecdotes she tells which never have
been published before.
She prefaces her work by saying
that had the prince consort lived long
enough, the history Of England would
have been very different. There would
have been, she says, no great" Queen
Victoria, for by 1860 the queen had
30 entirely transferred all work to
her husband that, excepting as an
appearance and a signature, the queen
regnant might almost be said not to
have existed, and it would have been
on that point that an English revolu-
tion would have occurred.
Many of the stories of court life told
in the book will cause smile in these
later days For instance, it is mar
rated how the queen ardently desired
that Albert should be made king
consort, which caused Lord Melbourne
to respond impetuously: For Gods
sake, say no more about it, ma'am, for
those who can make kings can un-
make them!"
Echoes of quarrels between the
royal couple got abroad and on one oc-
casion the queen rushed from the
room. Returning after time, she
found the door locked and knocked i'm
petuously for entry. who is there?"
cried the prince. THE queen Of Eng
land!" was the naughty reply, and all
remained quiet behind the door. Again
and again Victoria knocked, and again
and again came the same question and
answer, till at length the conquered
queen responded: Your wife, Albert" "
The door was opened, and the weeping
queen was comforted.
Another time the disagreement was
over the tea table, with "the re-
suit that neutrality-suspicious.
flung the contents of a cup into her
lords face"
In 1S47 there was famine in Ire
land, and the queen wished to ex-
ercise economy in her household.
Two kinds of wheat known as
'firsts" and seconds" were in
use, the firsts being Essex white and
the seconds Baltic red. Naturally
the residents in the palace were
fed on the best wheat, which
cost 25 per cent. more than the other.
But now that the time of stress had
arrived royal order was issued that
no description of flour except sec.
onds should be used in her majesty S
household and that the daily allow.
ance should be restricted to one pound
per head for every person dieted in
the palace.
The result was that the price OF
second flour rose till it equaled
that of the best, and the want
grew more bitter. The queens eco
nomic example, says Mrs. Jarold
was commented upon at the time

BOYS LEAVE FARM FOR CITY
Strong and Rather Reliable Light
Thrown on Subject by Professor
Bailey Of Cornell.

Professor Leon H. Bailey of Cor
nell university has been conducting
some inquiries as to why boys leave
the farm. which throw a strong and
rather reliable light upon this much
discussed question.
He addressed circular letter to all
students of Cornell who, he had rea-
son to believe, were born in the coun-
try.
Among the replies received were
155 from persons bred on the farm.
and planning to leave 1t. These assign
ed some 29S reasons why they were
leaving the farm, the same being
roughly classified as follows:
Question Of financial reward. .101
Question Of physical labor. $3.50. ~
Question Of social and intellectual
IDEALS 78
Miscellaneous handicaps Al
Professor Bailey summarizes as fol-
lows:
1t is easy to say that this finan-
cial unsuccess is due to poor individ-
ual farming, but it is question wheth-
er good part is not due to causes
that go further and deeper than this.
Farming is virtually the only great
series of occupations that is unorgan-
lied, unsyndicated, unmonopolized,
uncontrolled except as it is dominated
by natural laws of commerce and the
arbitrary limitations imposed by or
ganization in other business.
The replies of these serious-minded
youths should also set every thought
full person wondering what is to be
the place Of the farmer in the social
scheme Of things, and whether the
present trend is doing him complete
Justice
About II per cent. Of the replies
considered that the farmer has dis
tinct social disabilities.
They suggest the question as to how
far agriculture is to depend for it's
progress on the efforts of the individ-
ual farmer.
