LAST WORD ON PRESERVES
Suggestions for the Final Putting Up
of Pickles and Spices for the
Winter Months.

There is still time for a few last
Jars of pickle or spice to be put up
before winter. Red cabbage, white
cabbage, tomatoes and onions, are all
in their glory. Peppers and dill all
the end of the season herbs, are just
right for seasoning. Take advantage
of these last pleasant days to put up
a few more things to bottle and
seal"
Vegetable Soup-Scald, peel and
mash one peck ripe tobatoes; run
two heads cabbage, one dozen medium
carrots, one bunch parsley and half
pack onions through the food chop
per; mince three stalks celery, and
boil one dozen ears corn on cob and
cut off. Mix all together and add two
tablespoons salt to every gallon. If
mixture seems dry add water. Boil
until carrots are tender. Seal while
hot in glass Jars. In winter add con-
tents to soup stock, and rich veget-
able soup may be had at short notice
Tomato Ginger Preserves-Nine
pounds of green tomatoes and half
pound green ginger stewed together.
Boil four lemons until soft and take
out seeds. Chop lemons and mix with
tomato, adding nine pounds of sugar

Freezing to death is preceded by a
drowsiness which makes the end pain
less, the body actually feeling warm
and going comfortably to sleep. Elk
periments have been made with ami
mails to show just how freezing to
death proceeds. In one of these ex-
periments, in which the animal was
placed in a temperature of from 125
to $50 degrees below zero, the breath.
ing and heart beats were at first
quickened, the organic heat of the
body actually rising above the nor
NAL, which is 9S.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
This showed a sudden and intense ef-
fort on the part of the functions to
preserve the body's temperature. Then
violent heart action gave out sudden
ly, and death came when the tenn
perature of the body dropped to II
degrees Fahrenheit.-Popular Me-
chanics.

SOME HELPS FOR WASHDAY
Several Simple Ways by Which Busy
Housewife Can Save Time
and Strength.

When taking clothes off the line
fold smoothly the wash cloths, bath
towels and hose and lay them away
without ironing They are just as
good for use as though they were
ironed, and the busy wife needs to
save her time and strength whenever
possible.
Always iron embroidery on the
wrong side so as to bring out the
pattern.
A tablespoon of kerosene in starch
will keep it from sticking.
If you scorch an article badly when
ironing. moisten it with lemon juice,
rub in sor,o salt and lay it in the sun
shine If it is only slight scorch the
sunshine will remove it.
If possible, sprinkle the clothes the
night before ironing day. The damp
ness will be evenly distributed and
they will iron easily next day.
Black goods will not look shiny and
the white starch will not show on it
if it is ironed on the wrong side.

NOW, WHO HAS DIRTY HANDS7
Yours Are Only Relatively Cleaner
Than Those Of Your Neighbor,
if You Reflect.

This is a lavatory episode and not
SO much Of an episode at that, ex-
cept that it made me think a couple
looked said the man with the pack
age that was patiently pound Of
candy. Maybe you'll call it an cpl
gram. l don't know. But l heard it
in one of those places where the long
rows of white bowls and hot and cold
spigots and paper towels and tipsy
bottles of liquid substitute for soap
are.
There were two boys there, office
boy type. One was washing his
hands. Also man, office man type,
who joshed the boy who was wash
ing. Told him he needed bath by
the looks of as much of him as was
visible-and such as that. The boy
holly denied that he was filthier than
the average. Finally the merry kid
der went out. The accused boy turned
to his companion and exclaimed, part
ly in indignation and mostly in
amusement, at the absurdity of the
idea:
He thinks everybodyIs hands is
as clean as his is
Now that struck me as right il
Illuminating. l have long wondered
how boys can live with dirty hands
and uncombed hair. l have young
son of my own and l know that no
amount of moral sausion will make
'em wash and comb regularly. But
don't you see, a boys hands are not
dirty unless they are dirty for boys
hands. It's that same old stuff over
again about everything being rela-
tive.
THAT boy who seemed to think
cleanliness was an immutable con-
dition, something that just happened
and couldn't be avoided or attained,
was my boys benefactor, though he
didn't know it. 1 realize now that a
boys hands are clean when they
don't look it to the parental eye.
I'll not bawl out my dear boy for
coming to the dinner table with grimy
fingers any more. l know now that
it will all come right in time. When
he gets to be as old as l am his
hands will be as clean as mine u.s.
"One more precious thought: Did
you ever sit in a car alongside a
delivery boy or molder or a laborer
and shudder in ill-concealed horror
at sight of his dirty hands or face
You are in the habit of supposing
that your own hands and face are
clean, l suppose? Well, they are
not, except relatively. Your hands
may be clean compared to the boys,
but they are disgustingly dirty COM
pared to comparatively clean hands,
such as a surgeon has when he's all
ready to go ahead with the slashing.
Think it over and don't let yourself
get pulled up with false pride"

Shortened His Speech.

A good story concerning certain
bishop with rather reputation for
verbosity, who rose to address the
house of lords on some important ques-
ton. He began: Il will divide my
speech into II heads" His listeners
shivered, and thought of the door. Just
then Lord Salisbury got on his legs,
and begged to interpose with little
anecdote "a friend of mine,', said
the noble marques, was returning
home late one night, when, opposite
st. Peters he saw a drunken man try
ing to ascertain the time on the big
clock there. At that moment it be-
gan to strike, and slowly tolled out
IL. The man listened, looked hard
at the clock, and said: 'Confound you,
why couldn't you have said that all
lat once?'" The chamber, needless to
say, resounded with laughter, in which
the bishop heartily joined; and, what
is more, took the hint

POLITENESS OF VALUE
is CONSTANT HELP AND BENEFIT
TO OTHERS.
No Greater Good in This World Than
Love, Kindness and the Considera-
ton of Others in
the Home.

Politeness that is bred in the bone
and is in constant use creates in the
character a resemblance to flower
whose beauty and perfume pervades
the atmosphere in which it develops,
and is a constant help and benefit to
others
suppose there is no greater good
in this world than love, kindness,
and the consideration of others in the
home
Boys in a family where there are
no girls, owe it to their mother to
help her with the heavy homework.
There is nothing degrading in pushing
a washing machine or turning
wringer, but on the contrary it is hon
orable service. Any boy who will let
his mother do any heavy work that
can be done by him is making
wrong start in life and is laying up
trouble for somebody's daughter when
he marries her.
Most of us take life too seriously
and fail to see the bright and beauti-
full side of things as we plod along
with our daily work. Cheerfulness
and the ability to be happy and make
those around us happy are not Divine
gifts, but simple heart growths that
can be cultivated at the same time we
cultivate corn and the flowers. They
are crops that pay 1000 per cent.
The most beautiful thing in the
world is wholesome, sweet-tempered
girl, whose cardinal points are unself-
fishness, cleanliness, neatness and poll
-ness-whose natural lovableness Is
so irresistible that people swarm
around her like bees around honey
suckle. She is a tonic to the i'll and
unfortunate She is the embodiment
of Joy, and her friends are legion.
This girl is the one who helps her
mother-who sings at her work-who
caresses and cheers her father, look
ing after his comfort-who works In
stinctively and quietly without osten-
tation.
She thinks her people are the finest
people in the world and they adore
her as she deserves.-Julie Gordon.

TEST OF REAL EDUCATION
You Have 1t If You Can Answer "Yes"
To All of the Following
Questions.

A professor once told his pupils that
he should consider them educated in
the best sense of the word when they
could say Yes to every one of the
questions that he should put to them.
Here are the questions:
Has education given you sympathy
with all good causes and made you
espouse them?
Has it made you public-spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them? Do you know
what it is to be friend your self?
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman in the eye? Do you see
anything to love in little child? Will
a lonely dog follow you in the street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the Smeaner 'drudgeries of life? Do
you think washing dishes and hoeing
turnips just as compatible with high
thinking as piano-playing or golf?
Are you good for anything to your
self? Can you be happy alone? Can you
Elook out on the world and see any
thing except dollars and cents?

TO GET KNOWLEDGE
EVERY MAN SHOULD EXERCISE
MIND BY THINKING.
Learning Comes Through Our Senses,
Which Are to the Mind and
Body What Reporter Is to
Newspaper.

Whatever knowledge we have we
have obtained it in two ways, Thomas
Drier writes in the Nautilus. The
first is inheritance. The second is &C.
QUESTION. With that which we OBJ
tanned from our ancestors we had
nothing to do. We are not concerned
with the past. We are vitality inter-
ested in the present.
All knowledge must be obtained to-
day by one or more of the five senses.
Through the avenues of seeing, hear
ing, touching, smelling and tasting
come all our sensations. The quality
and number of sensations depend up
on the kind Of sense organs we have.
The man with weak eyes can never
obtain through sight the knowledge
obtained by the man with eyes that
are strong. The man whose sense of
taste has been impaired, say, by indul-
gence, cannot obtain the sense of sat
isfaction of the man whose taste is
cultivated and trained to report &C.
curately.
Our senses are to the mind and body
what reporters are to a great news
paper. Each has a special department.
One covers police, another the drama
and entertainment, and so on. Each
is a specialist. The more efficient,
the better trained, the more educated
each reporter is in his special de-
partment of reporting, the stronger
will be the stories and articles he will
turn in to his paper.
The strength and power of the pa
per is but combined strength and
power of the work OF the reporters.
The truthfulness of the paper Is the
sum of the truthfulness of reporters.
The new story written by the re-
porter with weak eyes will lack
strength and accuracy just as the eyes
of the reporter lacked strength and
accuracy. AS the matter which is
printed in the newspaper is the re-
suit of the work of the reporters so
is the matter printed on the mind the
work of the five senses.
To build the muscles of the body we
require wholesome food and proper ex-
ercise. No matter how wholesome the
food, no matter how much or how lit
tie we eat, we cannot have strong,
healthy bodies unless we take proper
exercise.
So with the mind. No matter how
rich the mental food the senses may
bring to the mind, no good can be &C
complished unless the mind is exer.
cised, is used in serving some pur-
pose, is employed in doing some work.
Let us use our newspaper figure to
illustrate. If newspaper employed
the greatest staff of reporters in the
world, if each was master in his
line, if each one had no superior any
where, if each wrote stories and arti-
Giles that had never been equaled, if
the stories sent in were such as to
command the interest of the entire
city-if these reporters did all and
were all things and these articles were
printed in the paper in the most at
tractive typographical manner, and the
papers were then stored in vault in
the basement, would that newspaper
have any influence, would it's circula-
.tion grow, would advertisers clamor
for space in its columns?

Weavinu the Web Of Life.

Life is the daily web of character
we unconsciously weave. Our thoughts,
imaginations, purpose, motives, love,
will, are the underthreads; our words,
tone of voice, looks, acts, habits, are
the upper threads; and the passing
moment is the shuttle, swiftly, cease
lessly, relentlessly. weaving those
threads into a web; and that web is
life.-S. D. Gordon.

Believe Flying Snakes Exist.

The belief in the existence of flying
snakes is widely current in India, but
few people profess to have seen them.
1t would be interesting to find out
how the legend came into existence.
These snakes are supposed to live on
trees and make flying dart at their
victims. Snakes have been known to
drop down trees and bite people but
it is not these which are known as
flying snakes in India.
