True Philanthropy.

In a New York street wagon load
ed with lamps collided with a truck
and many of the globes were
smashed Considerable sympathy was
felt for the driver as he gazed rue
fully at the shattered fragments. a
benevolent looking old gentleman
eyed him compassionately
My poor man he said, Il sup
pose you win have to make good this
less out OF your own pocket
YEP was the melancholy reply.
We'll. we'll" said the philanthropic
old gentleman, "hold out your hat
here's a quarter for you; and 1 dare
say some of these other people will
give You a helping hand, too"
The driver held out his hat and
several persons FASTENED to drop
coins into it. At last, according to
Life, when the contributions had
ceased, he emptied the contents Of
his hat into his pocket Then. point
ing to the retreating figure of the
philanthropist who had started the
collection, he observed: Say, may

AT the age of twenty-five he surprised

My advice to one who is not a
good traveller and who desires to
avoid seasickness may be summed up
in a few words: Prepare for your
journey a week or so ahead, by eating
simple, plain foods, and avoid as
far as possible sweets, sours, fats and
condiments. Spend as much of the
time on shipboard as possible, in the
open air walking or reclining. See
to it, particularly, that you are warIl-
ly clad. One inclined to seasickness
always feels a sense of chilliness
about the extrem ties. Carry q hot
water bag and hold it in your lap
or put it at your back or feet while
sitting. See that your steamer rug
covers your feet. and keep it in the
sunshine. If you still feel chilly,
move to a warmer place in the Ii
brary, reading-room or saloon.
For breakfast take a simple, warm
drink such as you prefer either cof-
fee, cocoa or tea. with a bit of dry
toast. baked apple, an orange or
stewed prunes, but not the latter if
they are sweet. For lunch take a slice
of roast beef, lamb or mutton, cold
or warm, With no fat. A piece of toast
with hot, red gravy is also easily di-
gested you can arrange with your
table steward to get it. Mashed pota-
toes or boiled rice, with stewed fruit
(the latter you will always lind on
the German steamers) should COM
plete the meal. If you are not hun
cry eat little. For your evening meal
follow the same simple menu that
you had at lunch. 1t is a good thing

Dorothy of the Sums

Dorothy lived in the slums on the
east side of New York. Her father
and mother had died when she was
two years old, and she lived with her
uncle ever since. She was only nine
years old. Her only wish was to have
nice mother and father and live in
the country. Every morning she
would gather flowers from one of the
city parks, which was not right. but.
being poor, she was forced to take
that which did not belong to her, fix
them into small bouquets and sell
them for ten cents.
One day while selling flowers she
was run over The man who ran over
her had her taken to a private ward
in a hospital and supplied with books
and flowers. When Dorothy was bet
ter she was able to see the man that
ran over her, and, as this man had a
wife. he thought maybe she would
like to adopt Dorothy. When she saw
Dorothy she was fascinated by her
looks and ways, and adopted her,
with her husbands permission.
After all, Dorothys wish was
granted, and she now lives in the
country with her new mother and
father. HELEN JAGLE.

The Young Food PrOvider
VOL. l., NO. 90.

1T was a cold and stormy night.
The wind howled and shrieked, while
the snow kept ON falling more and
more In the poorer section of the
city stood a small tumbledown house
seemingly unfit to be occupied by
anybody, yet through the broken
holes and broken windows a pale light
shone forth.
Within the house, huddled together
in a little group around small tin
stove, sat an elderly woman with a
baby in her arms and five children,
ranging in size from two to ten years
of age. Not one spoke a word, for
they were cold and hungry. They
had no father he having died, and
the poor mother had all she could
do to support the family.
Suddenly the quiet of the place was
disturbed by the creaking of the door,
and a boy of about ten or twelve
wears of age entered. Tears streamed
hungry. His clothes We're torn and
ragged, his shoes were worn, while
in his frozen hands he carried a few
newspapers. His mother looked up,
but only said in a whisper, Poor
JOINT
John sat down hungry enough to
eat COW, but all that was in the
house was a piece OF state nIeiu ne
knew there was nothing else in the
house so he made the best of his
supper and lay down near the stove.
The next night the storm had not
abated. but still John trudged along
with his papers. He was tired and
cold, and when he came to a large
tree he sat down to rest, sheltered
from the wind.
How long he lay there he knew not
but when he awoke he was in a warm
and comfortable room. A middle-aged
woman sat beside him, and when he
looked at her she smiled happily
When John began to ask questions
she told him to rest where he was
| till morning, and then she would
speak with him. She then retired
| leaving poor John in perpleXed state
of mind
Soon he began to doze and fell into
a deep sleep. But suddenly he awoke
with a start, for he heard screams
in a different room. In an instant he
sprang from his bed and rushed into
the next room. There an appalling
sight met him. A little girl of about

How to Avoid Seasickness

before you retire, and also when you
awaken in the morning, to drink a
glass of French vichy, taking about
ten minutes to do it. If you like IL
hot, all the better.
If, in spite of this plain diet, you
have no appetite, and feel distressed,
ask the steward to toast a couple of
sc ola biscuit so brown that they will
seem almost burned. Nibble at these
until you feel better The toasted
biscuits will taste like popcorn. When
you can eat nothing else you viii
find that your stomach will retain
them and you will want something
more substantial. Then try piece
of lean roast beef, a bit of chop or
steak [ have found this treatment
effective even in cases of severe sea-
sickness. The soda biscuits must be
thoroughly Drowned and no liquid
taken with them. Reject the over
lures of all friends who insist that
you should suck a lemon, drink a
glass of champagne, ale or porter.
Keep warm and in the open air, eat
simply and little and your seasick-
ness will disappear.-D. d. Hilles, in

Dear Miss Doom:
Could you please tell me how to
clean a German silver mesh bag
that has furnished? The inside is
lined with white kid, but it cannot
be taken out. as it is fastened
underneath the frame. Thanking
you in advance, ROSE II.

Or scrub with white soap and
warm water. using a brush. IL
you do this, be sure to stuff the bag
with as much paper as it will held,
to keep the kid lining from
wrinkling during the drying process

first, if ! were you.

FORGIVE AND
FORGET
Continued from yesterday
BY DANIEL b. MCKINNEY


The boy spoke encouragingly to re-
assure her, but he was soon obliged
to leave her side to guard against
new peril. The island upon which
they had found a refuge was covered
with dense underground, which the
long drought had withered and dried.
The wind was blowing briskly from
the land and blazing embers from
the confiagration were continually
falling, starting little fires here and
there which threatened to become
general If this should happen, the
place would be no longer tenable.
Both the boy and his dog were kept
busy stamping out the flames.
While they were so engaged, Tom
my observed a fishing smack coming
toward them down the river. 1t was
evident that she was propelled by
motor power, as not stitch of her
canvas was set.
If | can attract the attention of
her skipper" he reflected, "he will
undoubtedly send dory to our res
cue"
So, stripping off his jacket, he ran
to little promontory that iutted out
from the island and waved it above
his head, shouting frantically. Watch
followed, joining deep mouthed banks
to his cries; but their voices were
drowned in the roar of the conf1a-
grafton that was raging. However.
they were plainly seen from the deck
of the smack, which paused in its
course at point opposite them and
put out a dory to their rescue.
1t reached the island in the nick
of time, for scarcely had its bow
bumped the shore when the entire
place burst suddenly into flame.
Make haste!" cried the man who
was rowing the dory. There is not a
minute to spare If you wish t. save
yourselves"

aid" answered Tommy. Help me

Dear Miss Doom.
Can you give me the correct pro-

TANGOER.
l am told that the word 'maXiXe"
is derived from the Portuguese lam
guage, not from the Spanish, as
many think. Portuguese is chiefly
spoken in Brazil, ard Spanish in the
Argentine republic. To correctly
pronounce the word three syllables
must be used ''mah- sheese- shay"
with the accent ON the second syl-
liable. The termination "shay" is
given a very soft sound; is hardly
sounded at all. As a consequence
the correct pronunciation of
