The Baltimore News Problem.

MT. Editor: Among the clippings in a recent issue of The Bulletin, I find problem accredited to The Baltimore News which Is as novel as the manner of introducing it. It reads as follows If the time is hanging heavy on your hands, try to work out this: How many times in each q hours do the hands of the clock appear at right angles to each other?'
 But why should time hang heavy on ones hands Gas if he were a played out old clock or watehl. now that spring has come Shouldn't a new spring set a fellow agoing all right again?
 The News ought not to suggest the possibility of a dormant state of mind when all nature is preparing for ac- tion.
 Doesn't he know that the early robin begins to twit and twitter that the back yards need cleaning up? That we. like the robin. must grub to get a living and not stop to see how many angles an angleworm can make of itself before it is put on a hook for trouting?
 And doesn't the News man know that one should now get right down to work. if he expects to get the earliest telegraphic messages of God < love in flowers in his garden instead of receiving only winter post cards of them from Pasadena?
 To have ShONbdllS m the garden in July Is mo longer problem, but very refreshing.
 When a watch needs | spring med icine the doctor" who has it in charge lubrie2tes its works with porpolse oil hut if the main spring of the mind be- comes so sluggish as to have time hang heavily un it. the works in the human case needs oiling, too. If there is no porpoise oil in the house. castor oil may work just well
 Thus equipped Cor spring work. ac- coTding 10 the old fla shioned rule the hands ready for employment are as useful as those of the hands of time

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
More Wonderment.

MT. Editor: And now Mrs. Char lotte Perkins StetsOn Gilman, she of feminist fame attacks the poor men, She compares us to Paris and Meme laus and says that men are the cause of all the miScief in the world. (Where does Eve come in, I wonder2) Being one of this despised sex, I durst not reply to the contrary but, when this gifted lady also boldly as sumes that noise and -gratulation emanate only from the males Getting the obstreperous tom-cat as one ex- ample) and adds that women have not the impulse nor the extra ma chinery to make a noise'-well, in the words of Anna Held, Tt is to laugh!" How about it, lovely women who stand on barrels at street corners, and cry aloud to the four winGs for suf- frage? That noise is not exclusively masculine attribue, witness also, the deafeninS hubbub at an afternoon tea, or the clamor which yearly attends the election of officers at a D. A. R. convention, Women can create a tempest in a teapot anywhere, and any day!
 But tNis letter reads as though I were a cross grained woman hater, which I'm not! I really adore the oVeIy Creatures-at a safe distancei Before closing think this verse from 'Wedded~ Bliss, written by Mrs Stetson- Gilman. is rather amusing. 70 come an be my mate," said the
 Eagle to the Hen:
 T love 10 soar. but then
 want my mate to rest
 Forever in the nest!'
 Said the Hen. T cannot fly
 I have no wish to try. But I ioV to see my mate careering
 through the sky"
 They wed. and cried, An, this is Love,
 my own,'
 And the hen sat. the Eagle scared,
 alone.
 BACHELOR. P $. Mrs. Gilman married twice, just the same! 1 wonder why?

BOX IN BATHROOM.

A shirt waist box in the bathroom will fiji a want that is often felt. Very often the room is too small for both a, chair and a hamper for soiled clothes. A shirt waist or utility box will an swer both purposes and look better. If not needed for soiled clothes it will do for clean towels.

HONEY ON FRUIT.

A novel way of sweetening grape fruit is the use of honey in place of sugar If the fruit is to be used for breakfast, prepare it the night before. loosening the pulp from the skin and membranes: then pour over it enough honey to cover. In the morning the f1avor will be found excellent.

A DROP IN TIM E.

Turpentine is a sure prevention against moths.
 By dropping trif1e in drawers. trunks and cupboards it will render the garments safe from injury.
 It will also keep, ants from closets and storerooms if a few drops are put in the corners and upon the shelves.
 It is sure destruction to all sorts of vermin and will drive them away from the various articles of furni- ture.
 It does not injure either furniture or clothing.
