KEEPING HOUSE A BUSINESS
Charge That American Wives Pay
Too Little Attention to Smaller
Form of Economics.

American wives have yet to learn
that housekeeping is business In
which they can earn money by saving
it. Many wives are today seeking
desperately for some occupation
which will pay them few dollars
each week when in their own re-
frigerators and pantries food Is going
to waste, milk Is growing sour and
wasteful cooks are using eggs and
butter and sugar in prodigious guam
titles because their mistresses would
consider themselves "stingy" to speak
q word of warning or give direct su-
pervision of the culinary department.
The French people are far ahead,
of us in their observance ct the pen
ny saved, penny earned" theory. They
use for their salads the parts OF the
vegetables which we throw away.
They toast the leftover slices OF
bread which we let mold.
They prepare from the common and
healthful vegetables which we scorn
dishes fit for epicures. And they do
these things because they believe that
thrift Is imperative, and as a result
they have bank accounts and finan-
cal stability which is rare among the
plain people of other nations.
In housekeeping woman has five or
six professions She must know some
thing of dressmaking, Of cooking, OF
serving, Of finance, Of household hy-
giene. And these things are interest
ing only when they are given their
true value in the world Of endeavor.
The woman who holds competently
her place as manager Of her house,
hold ranks high above women IN
other professions, for she has learned
to do not one thing, but many, and
her executive ability must be OF the
most perfect order If she Is to realize
the ideal In the working out OF her
domestic big business. ."-Exchange.

Dr. Griggs was scheduled to arrive
on the eleven o'clock train the next
morning. When the hired man had
harnessed the pony to the buggy Ma
tilda Snaith knocked at her husbands
door.
Are you coming, Alfred?" she
called; but there was no answer She
tapped more loudly; at last. still en-
countering no response, she placed
her ear to the key-hole and listened.
The silence within was almost un-
cannily profound.
Dear Alfred" she mused. "He is
so absorbed In his work-well, I'll
drive down to meet Doctor Griggs
alone. He will understandable knows
Alfred"
And, picturing her clever husband
absorbed In his work, so that he was
unconscious of all external stimuli,
she drove down to the station, and
drove back an hour later, with the
learned Doctor Griggs at her side-a
tall, spare man with a black, bushy
beard, his six feet of longitude with
difficulty slowed away in the vehicle.
They got out of the buggy, entered
the house, and ascended the stairs.
Outside her husbands door Matilda
Snaith paused irresolute.

said. Perhaps you had better knock;

perhaps he has met with an ac-
cident," said Mrs. Snaith uneasily.
20, If he has taken too much Of the
anesthetic! We must arouse him!"
Il fear, madam. that we shall have
to break down the door" said Doctor
Griggs, after skinning his knuckles
vainly upon the panels. He looked at
Mrs. Snaith inquiringly, and then, ex-
erting all his strength, sent the door
flying inward.
Professor Snaith lay unconscious
upon the floor.
Hes dead" cried his wife In ter
ror. She clasped her hands appeal
ingly. 20. doctor, save him!"
Doctor Griggs stopped over the un-
conscious man. He was breathing
,stertorously Beside him lay an
emptied vial Doctor Griggs picked 1t
lup and shifted at it. Then he turned
to the lady, smiling.
"Not dead, but sleeping" he said

Lad Was Merchant, Not Bssgar.

An American lady in Rome bought
some matches from q little match
vender. They were wax matches In lit
tie decorated boxes. She handed the
boy q fve-soldi piece and expected
to have two soldi in change. but the
little fellow shrugged his shoulders
and held the change tightly in his
hand, with q begging expression on
his face, signifyins that he wished to
have It given to him. whereupon a
second American lady who was accom-
panying the first Strengthened herself,
looked intently at the boy. and said:
"Merchante. non mendicante!" C"You
are q merchant, not q beggar.) That
was an appeal to the boys self-respect.
and 1t so inspired him that he actually
laughed and pressed the change upon
his customer.-The Christian Herald.

phenomenal, Alfred Snaith in his lone
ly bungalow situated at the edge of the
Maine forests, had really given the
world some astonishing discoveries.
He was the inventor of the i'm
proved Crookes tube, of the new pro-
cess for tracing the hitherto invisible
bacilli of spotted fever by staining
them with ultraviolet dyes; he had
found means of establishing the equili-
brium of the aeroplane (patent i'm
pending); he had first isolated the
toxic ingredient of russula emetica,
that almost edible toadstool which to-
day forms so valuable an adjunct to
the pharmacopeia. Now that he had
turned his attention to introducing an
improved method Of anesthesia she
was sure that he had really discovered
something which would make his
name remembered by grateful
posterity.
During the next few days Professor
Snaith remained secluded In his lab
pratory, refusing to emerge even for his
meals, which were placed on tray
outside the locked door. More than
once his wife, alarmed by the pro-
fessor's absorption in his new enter
prise, listened at the door with beating
heart; but on all these occasions only
the most profound silence reigned, un-
til the professor emerged, singing and
chuckling with delight over the sue
cess of his enterprise.

HOW BRlAR PIPES ARE MADE
Average Smoker Not Aware Of the
Work Involved In Manufacture
Of His Pet.

Briar root pipes have been In con-
tinuous use In this country for many
years, but the general public, even the
pipe smokers. have little idea OF how
they are made or OF the time and at
tention necessary in their manufac-
ture
The briar which furnishes the root
from which the pipes are made Is the
shrub called the white heath. or heath
or, and is found chiefly in the south OF
Italy, ON the island Of Corsica and In
Algeria. The shrub often grows to a
large size. although only the roots are
used in the pipe-making industry.
After the roots have been cleaned
Of the earth which clings to them
they are sawed into blocks Of various
dimensions, placed in watts and al
lowed to simmer for twelve hours.
which brings out the rich brown color
for which the finest pipes are priced.
Following this boiling process the
blocks are steam dried for two weeks
and then are sent to the factory,
where they are converted into pipes.
The blocks are sorted according to
size by experts, are placed on shelves
and kept at an even temperature for
ten days, when they are dried and
then are sent to the machines. where
the actual manufacture begins. After
the blocks have been trimmed to the
proper size, the upper part Of the
bowl Is turned. then the lower part
and stem. and then they are sand
papered. The finishing Of the bowls
then takes place.

In the parade watch for the team
