TRIPLE SECRET OF LOW COST
DINNERS.

Pleaded with to divulge the secret
Of low cost dinners in high priced
times, il is learned from one of the
manageresses that it all lies in tri-
angular nutshell: The right place to
market. the proper way 70 cook and
serving at the right time-before
things have grown dry or cold and not
until they are tender and properly
done.
An instance of the differences in
prices of things was cited and seeming
impossible was proved by the investi-
gator. At a certain fine and fashion
able shop the plump red banana was
selling for dollar the dozen. The
same week one each Of these was
served as dessert at Highbrow Hal.

Proceeding west and south from the
smart shop. the same sort Of bananas
were found i'm a railroad arcade at
exactly half the price per dozen, and
lower down in the city near the river
fruit a grade smaller ana not quite
so glossy looking at a quarter the
price when bought in quantity-a
hundred or more.
And this rule applies practically to
all the foods in the list that have been

admitted no one seems to mind in
the least how much is charged for

FAIR BUT POWERFUL HAND
Spanish Queen May Be Said to Have
Won Succession by the Exercise
of the Latter.

H. R. FL. the Infanta Eulalia of
Spain, in her brilliant memoirs,
which are now appearing in one Of
the magazines, tells dramatic story
Of how. the Salic law was abolished
in Spain.
When her father, Ferdinand VII,
was taken with his final illness,
there was a Sale law in Spain by
which his brother Carlos would be
his heir and successor. NBut an old
enmity existed between Don Carlos
and my mothers aunt, the Infanta
Louisa Carlota. She had said to
him, You'll never reign And he
had laughed at her"
But when the king was plainly
dying of paralysis she put before
him paper that she had prepared,
abolishing the Sale law; and, plac-
ing pen in his hand, she took hold
Of his fingers and began to sign his
name to the decree.
The prime minister, Carlomarde,
seeing what she was doing, put his
hand over hers to stop her Shc
stopped long enough to strike him
blow on the head that dazed him.
When be recovered himself the doe
ument had been signed and King
Ferdinand was dead
Calomarde bowed gallantly, and
said to her in the words Of a Span
ish proverb, "a fair hand can do no
wrong" She replied, "No; but it

THIS THE AGE OF WONDERS
Much Has Been Done, Yet Fountain
of Youth, Long Sought for, Is
Undiscovered.

We are fortunate in that we live
IN an age when the incurable is be-
ing made durable and the fatal made
harmless, the Philadelphia Press OBJ
serves. Diseases that by our fore
fathers would have been held infal-
hble tickets for the long journey are
now invested with no such terrors.
We prevent yellow fever and mala-
ria by externinating two kinds of
mosquitoes. We vaccinate for small
pox, long a terror to the nations, and
see the death rate fall steadily. Ap-
pendicitis we operate for with calm
assurance of recovery. Tumors are
excised, and radium cures cancer.
The wonders of surgery follow one
another fast. Nowadays a surgeon
will carve you a patient at any point
OF anatomy, take out a vital organ,
look at it, clean it, and put it back,
ticking away as merrily as ever. The
last wonder. IS Of course that gper-
formed before the biologists here
when every drop of blood was taken
from a living body and purified,
while the veins were filled with a
salt solution, and then returned,
clarified. This was "tried on the
dog" doubtless it will soon be on
humans. But the world still waits
for something even indefatigable
science has not solved. Today, as of
old, the fountain of youth is eagerly
sought. Not year has been added
to the span of human life. With the
aid of surgery and medicine we may
live out the allotted time, yet no way
has been devised Of adding anything
to that mortal span.

SCHOOL NOTES

Quarterly examinations were
finished last week with success,
and also with a great deal of re
lief. by most of the students.
These were, in fact, dreaded most
by the seniors, but were made
fine by them all it seems.
Prof McGough has been alb
sent for several days on a visit, re-
turning Wednesday. His position
was filled by Mrs. Hartt
One Of our Freshmen, Miss
Mable Turner, has been absent
from school a few days on ac-
count Of sickness, but we are glad
to report her improvement.
Wednesday, April 1st was day
of hockey playing, the majority of
the school spending the day pic
nicing. 1t seems as though this
has gotten to be a habit in the
school, as it has been customary
for the last several sessions for
the students to play truant on the
1st of April.
The Philomathean Literary So
ciety still meets and enjoys its
programmes as usual, regardless
Of a few desertions. From pres
ent indications, it l. thought that
the weekly meetings Of the soci-
ETY. will become stronger and
more interesting each meeting
With this week the last q uarter
Of the session began. We feel
confident that with the great in
terest that Prof. Ramsey has al
ways taken in his school, along
with the attention which the pu-
pills pay to his instruction, that it
will be made the best quarter of
the year.
