asked If he might borrow money on a

Challis, 1t appears, had walked

mired. The attraction was mutual

Before day had passed, however,
the rooster became so affectionate
that it almost bothered the life out Of

Of strangers, and 1t is decorated with

once the harbor Of Bruges, is the
Beguinage. It Is an order Of nuns.
These nuns are free to enter the
world at any time they choose.
The people of Bruges live very
much in their own narrow sphere and
let the world wag as it will. They
do not care what the world is doing.
and their daily topics are the scandal
and the gossip Of the town. They
gather at the market place each day
to talk over the affairs Of Bruges as

mercial Observation-Disclosures
When Sea Cut OF Town.

Bruges, Belgium-At the beginning
of the fourteenth century Bruges was
a city of 100000 inhabitants. It was
not only the most important city In
Flanders, but next to Venice the
greatest trade center in the world.
Its harbor was filed with ships, and
its people were enormously wealthy
Their homes were filled with every
luxury. Their churches and public
buildings were beautiful, and the in.
sides were decorated with precious
gems. beautiful windows and exquisite
carvings.
Asst fourished as the town grew
richer, and it produced such painters
as Van Eyck and Hans Memlinc.
Then came an awful blight upon
the city. The twin, or chanenl.
which connected Bruges with the sea
became clogged up with sand and
mud At first it was only the larg-
est ships that could not get past, but
gradually the sand became SO high
that it formed a bank across the
twin and Bruges was cut Off from
the sea. And with the loss of trade
the town became deserted and fell
into decay. The people that remain
ed behind became SO poor that aims
houses had to be stationed through
out the city and it fell upon the
church to support them. Even to
this day out Of the $4,000 inhabitants
it still retains, 1900 are paupers.
1t is very sad old town and seems
to be in a dreamy slumber from
which even the gayest sunshine can
not awaken it. It's brilliant glory has
faded, but a mellower beauty is left
that is still more poetic and alluring.
The belfry alone seems to have
lived through the past, and it rises
high in the market place like an old
mother watching her sleeping chill
dren. The belfry is the heart and
soul of Bruges. In olden days a
Waterman was stationed here always
to sigfsal the approach Of enemies or
the brUaking out Of fire.

market is held, and here everything

cells where the people go to pray.

MAKING WORK EASIER
MATER CT SAVING ENERGY Is
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.
Average Housekeeper Works About
Twice as Hard as b Necessary
to Accomplish the TASKS That
Are Set for Her.

In factories the matter of saving
energy is made study; In fact, II mas
become almost science, but IN the
household where there is just as great
need of saving every ounce OF en-
ergy little il any effort is made IN
this direction. writes Alice r. Quinn
by in the Chicago American.
AS a result the average housekeeper
goes to her bed at night Thoroughly
tired and the chances are that she
has exerted just about twice as much
energy as was actually necessary IN
the performance Of her duties
throughout the day. The whole sec
ret lies in studying every task neces-
sary in the running of household,
and learning, II possible, where the
same work could be lessened.
Take the beating Of eggs, for IN
stance. Almost every woman breaks
them in a bowl, stands up In the
pantry, tips up the bowl with the left
hand and beats them with fork or
else whips them with wire beaten.
Sometimes a rotary egg beater IS
used. In this case it takes both
hands and every woman knows that
the bowl dances and Frances all over
the table or the sideboard, or Wher-
ever she is working.
It takes a great deal CT energy to
hold this bowl, or to hold the rotary
beater in the bowl and keep the bowl
from prancing about.
A little wooden arrangement IN
which bowl or porcelain dish could
be set, holding it firmly on or at the
surely do away with one-half Of this
labor, for the woman could then sit
down and use both hands in beating
the eggs, thereby saving the energy
needed in keeping the bowl In place
and resting herself by sitting at the
same time.
The modern bread-mixer is cum
bersome thing to manage unless 1t is
made firm to a bench or table. Get
a tinsmith to solder clamps on the
bottom Of the mixer, that it may be
clamped down securely. This will
save fully half the labor In mixing
bread
The bright housekeeper can get a
lot Of enjoyment out of mapping out
her work along the line of least re
sistance, and after this Is done she
viii find that at the end of the day
she has not wasted half the energy
she formerly did, and that she is not
nearly as tired.

KILLS OLD cLUBFooT BEAR

Hdaho Falls, Idaho.-R. L. Scott, 8
