Charles Edward Russell in These
anecdotes of a managing editor named
Goodman to signalize the Pigott dis
closures which defeated the case that
the London Times and the English
Tories had worked up against Par

On the night when Parnell's Vindi-
cation became overwhelming and COM
plete, Mr.. Goodman issued an order
that every article and every item in
the whole paper, big or little, should
end with the exclamation: "a Great
Day for Ireland!" 1t was tempting
fate to do such a thing, and, of course,
the inevitable happened.
"One Hennessey, the janitor of a
public building in Brooklyn, playing on
the top floor with his children, fell
over the railing of the air well and
was killed. "A Great Day for Ire

GOOD HOMEMADE ICE BOX
Costs Little and, According to Inven-
tor, Keeps Ice In Condition
for a Long Time.

An economical ice box is described
by its owner and maker as follows:
For this I bought wooden box
about four feet long, two wide and Is
inches high, being careful to select
one closely built; next l bought
pair of cheap hinges and made top
which fitted closely. Across the bot
tom of the box I took off strip
through the center IL inches wide,
then / fitted across the bottom. on
the outside, piece of wire netting:
Inside, across the center, put a strip
about ten inches wide and as long as
the box is wide, which / can take
out and scald This holds the piece
of ice without having 1t come in con-
tact with the wire and cause it to
sag. / keep two WOODEN cloths to
wrap around the ice, taking out one
each morning, scalding it and let

ice I put newspapers, then the cloth,
and the ice keeps splendidly. The
box is on legs and the water drains

PUT EASE BEFORE DRUDGERY
Every Device for Improving Methods
of Housekeeping Should Be
Employed.

There are thousands of housekeep-
ers who cannot take a summer trip,
but they can greatly improve the1r
methods Of housekeeping. First, free
the house of unnecessary articles to
sweep, wash, dust, iron or move. Only
the useful and the beautiful should re-
main. A porch may be made the
greatest of blessings to the summer
housekeeper if sheltered by vines. The
Dutchman's pipe is a fast-growing
vine, and the moonvine and morning
glory make rapid growth. Do all the
work you can out here, or under big
tree in the yard, such as Smelling peas,
stringing beans, pairing apples and
divers other tasks, which will suggest
themselves to the thinking house
keeper.
: When work is finished, sit out on
the porch or under a tree, anywhere
but indoors, and don't forget the pic
MICS. Don't tire yourself out by baking
a lot Of fancy dishes. Make good,
plain things which will be relished out
of doors. Do nothing that is not abso-
lutely necessary. Once in a while take
an entire afternoon for sleep, reading,
lounging under the trees, or resting in
the way most helpful to you.

USES FOR SOUR MILK
is VALUABLE INGREDIENT IN
MANY DESSERT DISHES.
Spice Cake With Nut Meats and Pitted
Dates May Be Especially Recon-
mended-ExceIIent Gingerbread
That Requires No Butter.

In every thrifty family not spoon
full of milk is ever wasted. Small
amounts left in the pitcher are poured
into a jar and set aside to sour, and
in the summer, especially, these accu-
mutations follow thick and fast
Here is an economical spice cake
that is delicious: Melt a tablespoon
full of chocolate shavings over hot wa
ter, then add half a cupful each OF
dark brown sugar and hot water. Stir
the mixture until smooth and keep
where it will stay warm until needed.
Put nut meats and pitted dates
through the food chopper until you
have a cupful of each. Put three cup
fuls Of sifted flour into the sitter and
add one teaspoonful of baking powder,
one-half of a teaspoonful Of soda, two
teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one-half OF
a teaspoonful Of grated nutmeg and
just pinch of ginger. Rub enough or
the -four into the fruit to coat each
piece we'll and turn superf1uous flour
back into the sitter. Now cream one
half of cupful of butter and add one
cupful and one-half of brown sugar,
then two eggs we'll beaten, the choco-
late preparation and one cupful of sour
milk. Beat thoroughly and stir in the
flour.
This may be baked in a square sheet
and covered with a thin icing favored
with vanilla, in layers with a chocolate
cream filling or white icing, or in
patty tins or gem pans. If the small
cakes are sprinkled with graduated
sugar and a few chopped nut meats
they will require no icing.
For a good gingerbread that requires
no butter, try this recipe: Beat three
eggs well, then add one cupful and
one-half of molasses and three-quar-
tiers of a cupful each of sour milk and
brown sugar. Sift tablespoonful OF
ginger and one teaspoonful each of
cinnamon, baking powder and soda
with three cupfuls Of -four. Stir into
the liquid mixture, pour into a shall
low pan and bake in moderate oven
about forty minutes.-Delineato

Is Positive Proof,

Some little uptown boys were play
ing Judge a game invented by the
daddy of two of the boys. They think
it's lots of fun. One of the boys in the
game impersonates a judge, another
the district attorney, another GRIM
inal, while others are the foreman OF
the jury, policeman, jailer and the
attorney for the defense. ANY that re-
main are jurymen. After one of the
youngsters commits crime" he is
arrested and brought to trial with all
the legal formalities the children can
remember.

supposed to have killed another, but

Laundry Notes.

The ideal wash boiler is at least
copper-bottomed. This is to conduct
heat and avoid rust. 1t has, too,
faucet to allow of easy removal of the
water.
A washing machine should be en-
ployed to save wear and tear on the
human machine. There are three
types Of mechanical washers-the
dolly" or dasher, and churn type,
generally operated by hand. The
vacuum or suction type, also hand-op-
Grated. The cylinder generally used
in laundries has two drums, one re-
volving inside the other, and the rock
ing or oscillating type. one cylinder
of metal or wood swaying back and
forth without dasher or beaten. The
rocking type is least wearing on the
clothes, and it and the cylinder type
are preferable If they can be operated
by power. Before choosing any wash
er, it is best to have an actual demon
stration and thoroughly understand
the cost of operation per hour, etc., OF
the machine before buying.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
GUS, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was bracer." (Delusion)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention 20 new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked
it and were free of ills caused by
coffee Our friends noticed the
characteristics skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it. right But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked it better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
Aoiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow

no boiling. 30c and SOC tins.

work while you're young if you want
to be a successful man when you grow
up. Look at your father, for instance.
