An Artists Mustache,

The mustache was not viewed
with favor in England in the middle
of the last century. An anecdote
is told of the late Thomas Cooper,
the English artist, to illustrate.
He was brought before a magistrate
in 1916 on some minor charge and
was described in the police report
as being "fashionably dressed, with
large mustaches." The Art Jour
nal of the date, commenting on it,
said that ''no member of the Royal
academy perpetrates the atrocity of
mustaches, a most un-English af-
fectation." Mr.. Cooper became a
member of the academy a few years
later.

Guarded in Lies Sunset.

A curious divorce case is before the
court at AuXerre, northern France,
in which the wife, aged eighty-seven,
sues her husband, aged ninety-three.
The aged couple had lived a happy
married life for over thirty-seven
years until last summer, when al
tercations were caused by the jeal-
ousy of madame At first laughing
at his wtfe's reproaches, the husband
later became exasperated, and turned
her out of doors. "Disregarding the
loving care have always shown him."
the old lady said Indignantly in court.

person OF no account. Fancy at my
age, too" 1T was you," he retorted,
who brought accusations against me
and made out l was a ne'er-do-well."

Walking in the Liqht.

The Son of Man is come to seek and
to save that which was lost. Recall
the story of Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus
was physically blind; Jesus gave him
sight. Zacchaeus was morally blind; ;
Jesus brought him light. This is the
mission of Jesus in a world of imper-
feet vision. He is the Light of the
world. Every disciple can testify to
the absolute and literal truth of the
Masters claim: The man who follows
me shall certainly not walk in the dark
but shall have the light of life" The
man who wanders in darkness is lost;
but if he remain lost he has himself
to blame. There is no need to climb
heavenly sleeps to bring the Lord
Christ down, for faith has still its
Olivet of vision, and love its Galilee OF
obedient service.

How to Buy Cheap and Nourishine
Mat

How to Buy Cheap and Nourishine
Meat.
A ROAST of beef costing 81 or
~ $l.50 at the present time is
not much. hungry and
healthy family will probably
finish it in one meal. You can still en-
Joy good roast beef and surely for less
money, only buy the right cut.
Nine out of ten customers ask for
the first cuts of the rib roast OF
course. they are the most expensive
cuts. The fifth. sixth and shoulder
ribs are hardly in demand. and the
butcher has hard job selling them
But these end ribs or shoulder ribs OF
roast beef are not only considerably
cheaper to buy, they are richer in
nourishment and food value. When
buying one of the three or four ribs OF
beef-say, for instance, weighing five
pounds-you will find that you hardly
have sufficient meat left after 1t is
carefully trimmed and the bone taken
out. The difference in price between
the first cut on the rib and the last
two cuts is at least 6 cents a pound.
and when you ask for shoulder rib
roast ask the butcher to insert a piece
of suet in the center Of the roast or. If
he has time. to lard it with thin pieces
of fat.
Another good piece of meat for roast
beef is the top sirloin, which is not so
cheap but it Is recommended because
1t has no waste.
The next important item on the
meat bill is chops-either lamb, pork
or veal chops. Lamb chops. however.
are the kind mostly demanded, and.
of course, the demand is for loin and
rib chops. the most expensive.
There is the same solution as with
steaks-buy shoulder chops; they cost
less and are sweeter. This same prin-
ciple applied again to pork chops. The
shoulder chops are very sweet and
tender. and the butcher will sell them
for legs. but very few people know
about them.

Dyed Articles,

In dyeing at home amateurs Of

The dyed article through the wiring
Pr, possibly to avoid staining the
hands for one reason or perhaps
hoping to dry the garment more
quickly. This, however, should
never be done, for the creases so
formed are most obstinate and, in
fact, often only disappear with

And our bodies in dust are lying,
Our souls shall rest in the home of the best

HUNTING , THE CHAMOIS.
Swift and Strong, These Willy Alpine
Animals Arc Hard to Get.

In spring the hair of the chamojs
has the color of the deer, in autumn
it turns dark brown, and in winter
almost black. Then the fiocks move
down from their very high pasture
grounds toward the woody regions,
where they find both food and shell
ter under the broad branches of old
pines, which keep the ground under
meath free from snow. But no soon
er has the snow melted far enough
to allow them sufficient food above
the timber line than they are off to
return to their favorite abode, the
high, inaccessible Alpine pastures.
There they live together in flocks
of five to twenty, most gayly, as
appears from their playing, sham
fighting and merry jumps.
Meantime they never fail to
mount a guard, mostly an elderly
doe. 1t seems that these are filter
for this duty than the bucks, prob
ably because of their greater care
fulness owing to their motherhood.
Their scent is so acute that they
detect man at distance of miles.
AS soon as the sentinel perceives
something suspicious she gives a
sharp, hoarse whistle. Then the
whole company keeps suddenly
quiet, as though petrifed, and after
a few seconds chase away like light
ming toward some safe refuge or for
a distant point of observation, where
they constantly and with great at
tention eye the disturber.
No doubt this scent, too, is the
reason why even a jealous tourist
so rarely sees channels. He does
not pay any attention to the wind.
which reveals his presence to the
chamois long before he is near
enough to see it. Strange to say,
as soon as the animal has got the
scent it keeps on flying much far
Their, as though frightened by a re-
port. On the flight all the incredi-
BILE strength and swiftness of the
channels show up to their best ad-
vantage. 1t clears crevasses thir-
teen to eighteen feet wide and
jumps on to rocks fourteen feet
high.
1t is plain that this kind of game
will not be hunted successfully by
the first conner. 1t is not enough to
be a good shot when, besides the
whole hunting outfit, an animal
weighing about sixty pounds is to
be carried down from a giddy height
over deceptive glaciers and brittle
rocky powders. Nor is it sufficient
to be good mountain tourist who,
under a safe guide, shows remark
able strength and courage. No, the
hunter must combine in his person
the qualities of a good shot, an ex-
cellent tourist and a guide. p.

FOR THE ILL.
How to Prepare Mutton Broth For a
Sick Child.

How to Prepare Mutton Broth For a
Sick Child.
Very often a doctor calls for mutton
broth for a sick child. and this must
be made separately and very careful
~ by the mother or nurse unless the
cook happens to be familiar with the
process, as not only is the meat to be
perfectly fresh, but it needs special
cooking. The easiest way to make it
is to procure a pound of the neck of
the young mutton. Tell the butcher
what it Is for, and he will know what
TO give you If he is reliable. 1t should
be fresh cut and include the bones.
but must not look stale or dark or
have a heavy odor.
Put this in quart glass preserving
jar filed nearly to the top with cold
water with good sized pinch of salt
Put on the lid of the jar and stand it
in an ordinary iron pot about half full
of cold water and place the whole
back on the stove. where it can come
to a slow boil. Let the water in the
pot simmer gently for three hours, re-
plenishing it as 1t cooks away. This
will steep the contents of the glass
jar. Do not allow it to cook hard. and
do not handle it roughly or stand it on
q stone or other cold surface when at
length it is ready to come off the fire.
for any one of these things will crack
the jar and spoil the contents.
Remove the lid from the jar and
strain the contents into bowl to cool.
When cool, cover and place in the re-
frigerator for several hours until all
the fat has risen. Skim the fat off
carefully and heat the broth as need
ed This amount will make two cup
fuls, which will probably be sufficient
for one day
1t is better to prepare fresh daily for
every days use.
