Spreading Hard Butter,

There is Door economy in wasting
hard butter trying to spread bread, but
a knife dipped into boiling water and
then used in the butter does away with
all trouble and spreads evenly. Espe-
cially in preparing sandwiches is it i'm
portant to have each slice nicely
spread with enough, but not too much
butter, and this should be done before
cutting: then the slices laid ready to
have any preferred filing.

The SiQn Of the Swast;ka.

1t is interesting to know the mean
ing of the sign of the swastika so often
made into pins and badges. 1t runs
thus: by this sign may all blessings
attend thy footsteps. May the four
winds from the four corners of the
earth blow gently upon thee. May
they ever bring thee good luck and
prosperity. May thy life be long and
joyful and may perfect peace find thee
at last"

And horns like a COW. and elephants ears
And neck like a mutton stew?
Did you ever see a mouse with wings,

Its nose like a couple Of scrambled eggs?

And the figures that stare at you
Are the strangest animals ever seen

peas and a Piano.

Ysa have heard the old story ef the erpat pianist who used to lay six beans -sr was 1t peas?-on the piano and canpei himself to play most difficult and intricate composition through six times without an error. Every time he went successfully through he took up pea and put it in his pocket. Every time he made mistake he took all the peas out of his pocket and began again, even If almost at the end of the sixth time. Many of our young music pupils seem to think an error makes no differ ence. They expect to make them, so 0f course they do make them. You can not build great achievements of art upon these faulty foundations.-Chris dXan Herald.

The Fourth a General Holiday

1 Some legal holidays are observed only by the closing of the banks, but the Fourth of July, like Labor Day and Christmas, is observed by the general public.
 It is real holiday for the great majority of people and coming this year as it does after a prolonged hot spell, the relaxation from workaday cares will be especially welcome.
 The Fourth used to be celebrated in all the cities by the explosion of much powder. It was day of noise and citizens with delicate nerves were glad when it was gone. But sane Fourth has come to be the rule, and the average citizen may '-~'- forward to tomorrow with feeling of patriot ism mixed with gratitude for the rest in store for him.

roo MUCH SOAP IN BEER

From the New York Tribune.
 There's too much soap in it." was the diagnosis of beer sold in some of the em- poriums in this city, according to a> let ter received by the department of health.
 The writer, German fin this country on a visit, declared that it was not only un- healthy to have such high "collars'" on the glasses, as he had so often found to be the case, but it was something that would not be tolerated in Germany, par ticularly in Munich, to which city he is sadly returning.
 As the authority explained it, glasses in some of the German cities are marked purposely so that bartenders can put a collar of a specified height upon each. Arrest, he said, would follow violation, for it was beer and not foam that con tained flood value."
 Experts in the department did not dis cuss the merits of the complaint.

From the Baltimore Sun When rosy morn breaks on our view
 And hilltops kiss the skies, Oh, love, this life that leans to you
 Looks downward to your eyes! When Bob White calls the little troops
 Of wood beasts from their lair. Love is the golden light that loops
 AuroraI in your hair. When rosy morn breaks on the view
 And dreams and dread depart, Out7of the night straight up to you
 This message of my heart, For nothing rises, not the sun,
 Till you have risen, .dear, In this great soul of love gold spun
 In life's keen atmosphere. When rosy morn breaks on the view.
 An. 1t Is not the sky, Aurora's rays come travelling through.
 But thy soft-lidded eye! That crimson round the rim of things Is thy dear velvet cheek, Pink with the perfect gl6w that brings
 The perfect love men speak. When rosy morn breaks on the view. look not for its light Sparkling upon the pearly dew In patterns glistenins bright; But only know my day Is where
 Your heart comes up the sly, Sweet with the beauty beating there

Two Appointments Held UT

The Senate committee on banks and currency has agreed to favorable re- port upon W. P. G. Harding of Bir- mingham, Charles S. Hamlin of Bos- ton and Adolph c. Miller of San Francisco-three of President Will sons appointees to the federal reserve board. But the nominations of Paul M. Warburg of New York and Thomas D. Jones of Chicago were held up by the committee.
 It is safe to say that all five of the presidential appointees will be eventu- ally confirmed; but as MT. Warburg has been connected with the firm of connected with the harvester trust, certain politicians think they should be fully investigated. Jones is a Princeton man, and is close personal friend of the President. He has the reputation of being an able lawyer, and will probably make a useful mem- Der of the board; but of the five men selected by the President only two are accepted by the great leaders of commerce and finance as especially well eauipped-Warburg and Hard ing.
 MT. Miller is a college professor and brilliant theorist. Mir. Hamlin is said to be strong on theory, but MT. Harding and Mir Warburg are bankers from the bottom up. Besides being men of education, they have had broad experience in affairs and have been eminently successful in handling large banking problems. Warburg is said to know more about international banking than any man in this coun- try, and is therefore especially needed on the federal reserve board. Presi- dent Wilson was convinced of that fact before the banking and currency law became law.
 Prominent finaneiers in New York and Chicago, having familiarized themselves with Mir. Harding's record, agree that his appointment is ideal. No banker in the United States has a more intimate kno sledge of Ameri- can banking or has better grasp of its history or clearer insight into its philosophy than Mir. Harding. Should the Senate reject the appoint ment of Warburg it would be public misfortune; but the senators who wish fuller investigation of the two men who have been allied with "big inter- ests" will play bit to the galleries and then the Senate committee will vote for confirmation.
