A tiny sprinkling of sugar placed
over each layer of meat in steak
pudding will make the steak tender.
Toughness of angel cake is often
due to the fact that the eggs are not
beaten properly. They should be beat
en- so stiff that they will stand. alone.
Raw lean meat will relieve a bee
sting.
When storing clothing for the sum-
mer try sprinkling whole cloves among
the articles instead of moth balls.
This will keep the moths away and

Value of the "Old Man."

How about the "old man. and the
apprentice? | have always felt and
contended in my work that the "old
man." as he is slightingly referred to,
has a place in industry. His expert
ence is valuable. He can be used as
trainer and coach. He may not be
fast. but he is sure. He may, on the
other hand, prove to be both skillful
and rapid on certain work At any
rate, for the sake of his past services
don't turn him adrift. If he is too old
and cannot work pension him. Ii he
can work fId out what is best for
him to do and give him a schedule
with a sufficient allowance added
thereto to justify him in continuing
to do his best. 1t won't cost much, IL
anything. The apprentice should also
have an allowance added to his SEIZED
ule that will warrant him in exerting
himself. The apprentice, the average
mechanic and the "old man" will have
different wage rates, so there is little
likelihood of a clash on account of
bonus earning .-Engineering Maya

What Makes a Girl Popular.

Every girl has the perfectly natural
desire to be popular with the other
sex, and every girl is interested in
knowing the secret of such popularity.
Some girls have the idea that the way
to have a good time is to break away
from the recognized, rules of social
life. The free-and-easy, reckless type
of girl may receive a good deal OF
attention of certain kind, but 1t is
safe to say that men do not really
care for such a girl. Certainly they
do not have any respect for her They
may enjoy a summer filtration with
her, but such a girl never enters serl-
ously into their thoughts. The girl
who is kind and thoughtful to her par
ents is the girl whom they admire.
The girl who is disrespectful to her
parents will not long retain the re-
spect of others. Men know very we'll
that a girl who deceives her mother
cannot be trusted. A good daughter
has in her the making of good wife,
and a man remembers this when he
begins to think seriously of matri

Oriuin of Mark Twain Story.

Of all the witty things said or writ.
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has
been quoted eftener than his reply to
an alarmist report, "Rumor of my
death greatly exaggerated" The his
tory of this now celebrated bon mot
will doubtless be of interest. Mark
Twain was ON a visit to London some
years ago, aQd had teen secured as
the chief guest at 1, dinner to be
given by literary club. On the
morning Of the day when the dinner
was to take place tho secretary was
shocked to hear rumor that Mark
Twain had died suddenly. At his
wits end, he sought to verify it by a
diplomatic note to Mrs. Clemens, in
which he mentioned the rumor.
Mark Twain got hold of the note and
telegraphed the now famous reply,

gerated." - From after Dinner

Screw on each side of the base of
the grinding stone a wooden arm as
pictured in the drawing. These arms
should be slotted. A board little

cut and bored with a one-fOurth inch
hole, running from edge to edge. The

A bolt is put through the slots in the

board and held firmly. This arrange

my heart out and driving me to mad
