Helpful Hints.

The ripeness of a pineapple may
be tested by pulling its leaves. If
they do not pluck readily the pine
apple is not ready to be used.
Chopped celery, potatoes and ap-
piles make a good salad combina-
ton served with any dressing. 1t is
particularly attractive if nasturti-
um is used as a garnish.
Soapsuds should never be.thrown
away by those who have a yard or
garden; apply them to the roots
of the trees or vines and they will
act as a manure and increase, their
growth.
All pickles should be kept at
least a month before opening the
jars for use. By opening them
sooner they lose much of the de-
lightful flavor which would other
wise be theirs.
After your blankets have been
washed and dried thoroughly, beat
them vigorously with a carpet
heater. This makes the wool light
and soft and gives them new
fresh appearance.
To wash organizes or lawns, soak
them in a gallon Of warm water in
which a tablespoonful of borax has
been dissolved; allow them to soak
about twenty minutes, then rub
them in soap-suds made of good
CASTLE soap, Pour boiling water
over them and let it set until the
water cools. Rinse in tepid water
and iron in the usual way Ex-

Town Sayings.

Ever notice that when there is
something to talk" about, few are
above "talking?"
We sometimes tell others by our
actions. the very things we do'not
wish them to know.
A broken heart is rare; many
people say there never was such a
thing.
The man who ought to listen and
learn usually does of the most Of
the talking
There are so many things you
can do without, and want.
We all try to help modest per-
son; we all try to injure a conceit-
ed one.
A conquered foe should be
watched.
A lost dog is easily found; any
one who finds dog is glad enough
to return it to its owner.
Every man who didn't run at
the first battle of Bull Run is there

How we all admire a sensible

such men there are
You hear a great deal about

A Freak Egg.

L. A. Hightower. living 7 1-2
miles east of Shelbina, were here
one day last week and told US of an
egg his wife had recently taken out
the nest at his place. The egg was
very large one and the SUPPOSE
ton was it contained two yelks.
When broken open it was found it
contained the white and yelk in one
end and in the other end was a
completely formed smaller egg
which contained the shell, white
and yelk Doubled yelked eggs are
quite common, but when it comes
to:an egg within an eeg it is some.
thing out of the ordinary. Mr.
Hightower stated the smaller egg
was about the size of a quail egg
and that the shell on it was as
hard and perfect as the larger one.

For the Kicking Horse.

AS some of our readers may have
a kicking horse. we reproduce the
following article contributed by a
correspondent of the Farm and
Preside:
We filled a stout gunny sack
with sand and suspended it from
the ceiling directly in the rear of
the kicking horse in such position
that its heels could have a good
play upon it. This mammoth PEN
dulum, needing but a forceful touch
would swing with a clock work
precision as soon as the horse began
to play its gymnastic stunts upon
it. At the first lick the bag would
swing away only to return with
great momentum, giving the horse
as good as it sent. OF course this
unexpected state of affairs resulted
in a general mixup between the
horse and the bag of sand for a few
minutes, but the bag held its
own returning all it received with
interest till the horse. coming tc
the full realization that there was
no use to combat, was perfectly
cowed. The bag was allowed tC
hang for about a week to insure an
absolute cure, and up to present
time there has been no need of re
peating the process"

All possible charities of life ought
to be cultivated, and when we can
neither be brethren or friends, let
us be kind neiehborS and pleasant
acquaintance. Our life is what we
make it. Most people will find
difficulties and hardships enough
without seeking them. Let them
not repine but take their troubles

Woman'S Attire Today.

When men, ordinarily tolerant
in the matter of women's attire. are
abashed and protest against the
present prevailing feminine undress
it means that women have reached
the limit Does she know it. Is it
fool-hardy or brazenly wanton, or,
is she inconsistent, unthinking, a
fashion following woman subcon-
sciously trusting in the strength and
innate chivalry of man. We saw a
girl standing on the walk with one
foot on the steps of her own home
and there flashed into mind the
Victory of St. Gaudens." To be

What Have We Done Today

(The Searchlight)
We shall do so much in the years
to come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in a princely
sum,
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry
the tear.
We shall plant a hope in the place
of fear.
We shall speak the words Of love
and cheer,
But what did we speak today?
We shall be so kind in the after
awhile,
But what have we been today?
We shall bring to each lonely life
a smile,
But what have we brought today?
We shall give the truth erander
birth.
And the steadfast faith a deeper
worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls
of earth,
But whom have we fed today?

There is no real happiness with
out usefulness.
To be good neiehbor is better

A discouraged preacher is a poor

The worst failure is failure to re-

A mule kicks with a purpose;

Tenderness is not weakness. Only
strong hearts can be tender.
When you relieve your mind, be
careful you do not burden some
