and at the same time dispatched a

KEEPING HOUSE IN FRANCE.
Economy Rules, and Food For One

Economy Rules, and Food For One
Day Only Is Bought at Time.
In the French markets you can buy
any portion of food you may wish.
Nothing is too small. No tradesman
stares If you say, "Msieu. 1 want one
egg" or Il will take a miquart (which
Is an eighth of a pound of butter"
And if you ask for a half pound of
meat he doesn't cut it to weigh three
quarters of q pound You don't let

housewife has been for generations ed
ucating the French shopkeeper to sell
in the way that she would have him.
1t is popularity supposed by some
people that there is economy in buy
ing in bulk. But the Frenchwoman
says otherwise, She says that of a
large quantity some of it is almost.sure
to spoil, and in the end you lose more
than you have gained even by your
wholesale price. So she buys her but
ter, as everything else, just enough for
the day. And she has a marvellous In
tuition for guessing what that amount
will be down to the very sou. The test
Of her skill in housewifery, she con-
siders, is an empty cupboard at sun
down. Then she requires no ice to
keep things over until the next day.
The cost Of ice, which in many an
American household amounts to 81 a
week, would be an unthinkable ex-
travagance in France. There is no ice

apartment the cold storage cupboard,
set in the kitchen wall with shutters
on the. outside, through which there is
always circulation of air. A wire
netting on the inside of the shutter pro-
tects the food from dust.
The cupboard is an entire success in
keeping food for the length Of time
that the Partisan housewife requires,

use it, for she never throws anything
away. Not to waste the smallest scrap

her housekeeping creed. Even every

are kept in the tin can that sets on the

TRAINING THE FLEA.
How the Tiny Insect Is Weaned From
His Jumping Habit.


His Jumping Habit.
1.-The teaching of the fea to do any
sort OF trick is,, Of course, a tedious,
difficult matter" said flea trainer.
THE first thing to do Is to break it Of
its natural habit Of jumping.
zone can see how necessary this lis
when one considers the flea is less than
one-eighth Of an inch in length and
has jump Of three feet-300. times its
own length. II a six foot man had
the same~leaping power he could make
leaps Of 1900 feet, SO that when flea
has the advantage Of one leap he is
good as gone forever. My apparatus
for jump breaking is a round glass
ball. confine him in this for three
weeks. look through this ball, touch
it, flash lights into it, talk. do every
thing to let the flea accustom himself
to my presence. At first he will jump
and jump. He strikes against the
curved walls and gets bruised. After
time, and find three weeks to be
ample, the flea gets to know me, and
he also gets to know sthat It is less
painful to crawl than to jump and get
bruised.
"The flea cannot differentiate be-
tween transparent glass and no glass.
so that when 1 take him from the ball
he still strikes this peculiar obstruc-
ton and so he don't jump. So, you see,
flea must have some reasoning power
somewhere, but am in no position to
say where it is located. That is why
| have to pick feas up with tweezers
and put them on my arm when want
to feed them. They don't dare to
jump on me" kansas City Star.

How He Got AInnn.

An attorney living on the north side
was arrested few weeks ago charged
with violating the motor speed law.
When his case was called in city court
the next day he asked that It be con-
tinued for week. The arrest caused
his wife considerable embarrassment,
and she spent most of her morning con.
versations with the neighbors during
the next few days in explaining just
how it happened.
On the day Of the trial one of the
neighbors was sitting on the porch as
the attorney returned home.
Hello, jack" said the neighbor.
How did you get along in the police
court?"
"Fine!' yelled the attorney; then he
whispered, twenty-five and costs."-

RAIN FROM A CLEAR SKY.
An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Failinu of Dew,

An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Falling Of Dew.
In English dictionaries we find the
word serein defined as a fine rain
which sometimes falls from clear sky
shortly after sunset. The word is
French. but has become the interna-
tional designation in meteorological
works for this alleged phenomenon,
which is always described as quite
rare.
Has the phenomenon a real exist
ence?
The fact that stereotyped descrip-
ton Of it has been passed on from one
meteorological writer to another since
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
ury is by no means conclusive evidence
on this point, for science has perpetu-
ated many myths by the process Of
reiteration.
Professor Gustav Hellmann, in a re-
cent publication Of the Russian Mete-
geological institute, sees in the concep-
ton Of the serein merely the survival
of the old fashioned belief that even
ing dew falls from the Clear sky, and
he finds that the serein Of early French
writer's was identical with that seven
ing dampness" which was supposed to
be injurious to human health.
1t still remains possible that rain
may sometimes fall from a clear sky,
though this is not likely to be phe-
nomenon peculiar to the early evening.
Some cases can be explained as due to
the oblique falling Of raindrops, carried
horizontally by the wind, when the
clouds from which they came have
passed away.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT A HUNTERS LICENSE

A hunters license is required be-
fore any person is allowed to hunt,
trap or take in any manner" any
game bird or animal in Kansas. Res
idents of the state apply to the coun-
ty clerk and pay a fee Of 81. Nom
residents are licensed by the secre-
tary of state and are required to
pay fee of SIS.
An individual resident owner Of
land or a member Of his family may
hunt or shoot on his own premises
without a license, but this does not
exempt such persons from comply
ing with the other provisions of the
fish and game law.
County clerks were formerly al
lowed 10 per cent Of the fees col
lected for hunters licenses, but the
late legislature changed this so that
the entire amount is turned to the
state treasurer Any misrepresenta-
tion in obtaining q license, or alter
ing q license after issue, is q mis-
demeanor; it must be carried at all
times while hunting, and shown on
demand of any deputy warden or
peace officer.

MENT OF WORLD HISTORY

EpOchs

Larned's wonderful History Of
the World treats the life Of man
kind for seventy centuries like a
great drama. He divides 1t into six
well-defined acts or epochs, the
chapters being the scenes. Before

mighty characters whose deeds and
words have made or marred the
destinies of nations. Their biograph-
les are fascinatingly sketched by
Larned, in the light Of whose lum-

them in their true relation to world
history. In his treatment of the
events and happenings of history,
they assume a logical relation, aad
