Fork Missing.

Maggie, you forgot to put down an
extra fork for the relish as Maggie
came in to get a dish from the side
board.
I'VE amt got no relish, ma am"

those anchoVies.'
we used the last can of them,
maam, last Sunday"
But surely there's another can
Helen went out in the pantry to con-
vince herself well We MUST have
some kind of a relish. Oh, here's that
jar of anchovy paste! Make some
little squares of toast and spread il
with this. You've got a hard boiled
egg" glancing in the refrigerator;
you can CRATE that over it.
Maggie, who was whipping the
cream for the berries, turned around
with an angry flush
You're wanting too much, ma'am.
That's fancy cooking. Cooks who
makes them fussy dishes gets $50 a
month! And you expect me at the
last minute to drop everything

"ThatT do, Maggie. As soon as
, can get dressed I'll make this myself.
And if you think you can get place
as a $50 cook I'd advise you to take
It."
Helen hounced into her dressing
room. For her dinner was already
spoiled. She could never enjoy any
thing after any kind of a scene. Her
whole nature shrank from contention,
and just to keep peace she had let
Maggie have her own way for so
long that now she resented every
thing she was told.
The fact that the girl was honest
economical and an excellent cook had
made Helen put up with everything
else. But now she felt that she
would rather have someone more
agreeable and amenable, even though

Why, this is the cloth we had on for

we've had on this week. We can't
have no clean cloth every night
We'll, we certainly will when we
have guests. Now, you'll simply have
to change this. Maggie. You ought to

Il won't have no time to unset that

It was late and she was not yet

that there must be a clean cloth, she
had no choice now but to put one on.
The first cloth she unfolded was an

FINDS $4,000 BAD EYES
New York Specialist Makes Startling
Report as 10 the Schools In
Gotham.

New York-There are $4,000 bad
pairs of eyes porting over schoolbooks
in this city, according to the report
of a specialist to the board Of educa.
ton, made public. He estimated that
so per cent of these cases Of defec.
tive vision were absolutely inexcus.
able. In some Of the cases which he
personally investigated he said he
found children wearing glasses which
were twenty sizes wrong, as the re.
suit Of which their vision was only
about 20 per cent.
He recommended that the RESPONSE
bility OF examining all children for
mental moral and physical defects be
vested Solely In the department OF
education instead of being divided, as
at present, with the department OF
haelth.

CHINA REALLY REFORMING.

President Emeritus Eliot of Har-
Yard tells us American baseball is
doing great things for that "hea-
then" land. He has just been there,
and is a close observer. He says
nothing for or against the recognized
forms of missionary activity. Be
that as it may, the out-and-out of
testimony for playing ball, from the
lips of a great schoolmaster, quite
goes home to the hearts of all school
boys. Baseball surely has got TO us,
being powerful enough when the
worlds series is playing to empty
even the stock exchange and stop
most of the frantic gamble of the
most exciting day. Baseball will
lock many downtown Offices on a
pleasant summer day. 1t will put

crate all class distinctions as a June

HAD A STREAK OF MADNESS
Only Charitable Construction That
Could BE Put on Acts Of Late
Russian Millionaire.

One Of the best-known characters
In the city of Moscow, Russia, died,
a short time ago. The mans name
was Balasheff. He was a million
aire. He had worked his way up
IN the world from a mere tinker who
wendell the samovars (tea urns). He
was noted for his eccentricities. At
times he would crawl into one or
other of the two dog kennels at his
door and would howl and bark as
much like a dog as his talents would
allow at all the passers-by. He was
also very frequently in conflict with
the police, and once got into
trouble for attacking a lieutenant.
Most of the begging letters he re-
ceived he had printed, and distrib-
uted the books free to all corners.
He always exacted the title of 'THigh-
born Sir" on the wrappers of the
newspapers that he subscribed to,
and flew into terrible rage when it
was missing. One Of his last freaks
of fantasy was the burial of his two
feet that had to be amputated. He
had them buried with all ceremony
and erected a monument inscribed :

Proudly Leslie displays his proves
in lifting weights His father, who
is constable in the Kingston force
took him into the garden with his be

Leslie's eyes glistened with pride
when daddy" ordered him to pick
the iron up. Slowly he bent, and
stretching out his chubby right hand
grasped>a four-pound flatiron.
But he had mightier strength still
Without dropping the four-pound
weight, he picked up another flatiron,
six pounds in weight, and then held
the two weights aloft.
HE just loves to try his strength
with my flatirons," said Mrs. Heather.
HE started this weight lifting a month
ago. His uncle was lying on the sofa,
when Leslie came struggling along
with two fiatirons in his hands and
placed them on the sofa.
"Since then he has been fascinated
by them and likes them better than
his horse.
Last March he took a special prize
at a Kingston baby show. He has six
brothers and sisters, all older than he
is, but they dare not tease him, be-
cause he is quite able to attack them"
Leslie was fifteen months old on

MADE A BLUFF, ANYWAY.

Among other anecdotes of univer-
sity life, Dean Hole tells of an oc-
casion when there was some doubt
as to the locality of city mentioned
in Greek text, and the lecturer adj
dressed a youth who had just come
up from the famous Shrewsbury
school: "Now, Mr.. Bentley, you are
a pupil Of our great geographer, DR..
Butler, the Atlas of our age, who
carries the world not on his shoul-
ders, but in his head, and you can
probably enlighten us as to the posi-
ton Of this ancient town." 81 be-
Iieve, sir" was the prompt reply,
''that modern travellers are of the
opinion that the city ought to be
placed about ten miles to the south
east Of the spot which it now occu-
pies on our map" After receiving
respectful thanks for the informa-
ton, the informer told Dean Hole
as they left the lecture room that he
had never heard of the venerable city
before, but that for the honor of
Shrewsbury and the reputation of
DR.. Butler, he felt himself bound to
say something.
