Facts About Musk.

The musk of commerce comes, for
the greater part, from Tachienlu,
town in China that is known as the
Gateway to Tibet" Three thousand
pounds of this odoriferous substance is
exported annually. The bulk of it goes
to France. where it is used in manu-
featuring perfumery Musk is an es-
sential ingredient of almost all per-
fumes. Musk has certain radioactive
properties that cause the odor of the
perfume to be carried through the air
in very extraordinary way The
radioactive property of musk affects
the natives who carry it to market
very strangely. If a package of musk
is held close to the body for any length
of time it produces sores that are
similar in character to those caused
by pure radium. Musk is obtained
from sort of gland, or pouch, of the
male musk deer, and it is secreted
only during certain seasons of the
year. The musk deer is a small ami
nal, seldom more than three feet long
and twenty-five inches in height 1t is
becoming more and more scarce every
year, and at the present rate will
eventually become extinct.

Rhubarb jelly.

Allow one pound of sugar to
pound of rhubarb. Peel and cut up
rhubarb into small pieces, put into a
dish a layer of rhubarb and a layer
of sugar until all is used. Do this in
the evening, then in the morning pour
off all the liquid you can into a
saucepan and boil hard for 80 min
utes. Then add the rhubarb, let
come to the boiling point and simmer
for ten minutes. Do not stir at all.
Stand your jars in boiling water to
prevent breaking, and then pour jelly
into them while hot. After jars are
secured turn them upside down to
cool, and when cool keep in a dark
place. Strawberries may be put away
In the same way, using less sugar.

Indian as a Waiter.

You can find all kinds of people on
Broadway, says the New York Trib-
une. There is a full-blooded Chey-
enne Indian who is waiter in one OF
the chop suey restaurants in Long
acre square. He wandered here from
the Western plains, scene of his early
youth, to seek fame and fortune in
the metropolis as a singer of Indian
melodies. but with syncopated music
anchored to the boards the red man
hasn't a ghost of chance. Now he
languishes as waiter in a Chinese
restaurant. hoping in his heart for
the day when writer's of Yiddish and
Irish melodies will again feel the spirit
cf the Sioux, Cherokee or Chippewa de-
scending upon them. Even the "fads
and fashions" beauty cabaret. in
terpreters par excellence OF pres
ent-day dances and music, cannot
arouse his interest. But, then. he is
only humble Indian waiter, although
perhaps, the only one of his kind along
Broadway.

FEARED TO BE MiSJUDGED
sian Who Wanted to Read Bible
Without Arousing Suspicion az
to His Motive.

His face was of the kind charac-
teristic of men who had gone up
against the world and won over all
obstacles and he wanted Bible,
says the New York Sun.
Haven't you got one with back
just like the ordinary book and with
out lettering on it," he asked.
The slim little brunette saleswoman
looked surprised and shook her head
decisively as she produced volume
of the Scripture bound in the custom
airy fashion with the usual inscrip
ton.
Nothing at ali like that" she said.
Il doubt if you can find such Bible
We never have any call for them
bound that way
Then perhaps you can find me one
with a good stiff back, without the
lopovers at the edges. SO 1 can put
cover on it?"
The saleswoman handed him Bible
so bound. She was too well trained
to ask questions. but she unconscious
ly betrayed an expression which plain
ly said: 81 hope you are not ashamed
to be seen with Bible
The man was quick to. perceive the
expression.
II know this Is an unusual request
and an explanation might interest
Bible l want to read it all. which
will require some time, as you know,
and as | am very busy and most OF
my spare time is of the odds and ends
variety, I'll have to read it wherever
and whenever I have the opportunity.
And I desire to read it without
causing comment. You see, I've never
been a churchgoer, and my business
associates and acquaintances have
not had reason to regard me as exact
ly patron of religion. Should they
see me reading a Bible at odd mo-
ments, on the train, say, or when mo-
toring about, I'm afraid they might be
seriously apprehensive or digusted. or
both They'd probably remark some
thing like this:
LOOK at that old reprobate, will
you-reading Bible!, Trying to play
pious, Ell? And him not bit better
than any of the rest of us. either.'"
ooh. I see!" the little saleswoman
exclaimed, smiling Understandings.
They might think. for instance. that
you're trying to put something over"
The man beamed on her apprecia-
lively.
I'm afraid they might misjudge
my motives and think I might be try
ing to do something like that" he
said. so I'm going to put something
over on them by Disgusting my bible.
I think that it will be the better way
for while. I'll take this one, please.
I'll have paper covers fitted on it and
then l can peruse it in peace. without
fear Of precipitating panicky suspi-
cion among my friends"

DAINTIEs FOR TEA TABLE
Command of the Hostess-Varl-
Gus Forms of Cakes.

Sandwiches of various kinds and d.
mansions are always good beginning.
Better have the loaf a day old. and
sandwich bread, close crumb, is the
best to make them with Spread the
butter on smoothly and add a thin
layer of nut paste. The top slice will
not need butter. Trim the crusts off
and cut diagonally across. Even
smaller sandwiches, making four out
OF the square, are large enough for the
bite.
Finger rolls, very fresh, with soft
crust and a paste made of chicken
mashed with the yolks of eggs, boiled
six or seven minutes, and just little
milk to make it smooth, are very ap-
petizing. Graham bread, buttered and
sliced the same as the sandwich loaf,
spread with a mixture Of jam and
cream cheese, is very nice. too.
Meat minced very fine, with some
milk to moisten it for smooth spread
ing, or thin slices of tongue with
graham bread, makes good sand
witches.
Fresh Boston brown bread. mashed
with cream cheese and sugar and
made into balls, like butter, only
smooth and larger, looks like great
chocolate creams and makes deli
cious titbit
Meats that are potted and already
minced into paste for spreading OF
chicken, tongue and turkey make ex-
cellent sandwiches of white or brown
bread.
If the sandwiches are made in the
morning and intended for later use it
is well to wrap each separately in
paraffin paper. This will keep them
soft and perfectly fresh until served.
Ginger nuts and cinnamon cakes
have some snap to them, and maca-
rooms and kisses are always ready at
the bakers if the busy housewife is
too rushed to make them.
1t is not necessary to have so many
kinds of sandwiches or cakes, but a
choice of two or three OF those men
toned here will be sufficient. The
finger rolls are especially attractive,
as they can be daintily disposed of
without removing the gloves.

Good Round Steak.

A very palatable and economical
dish can be made from a round steak
as follows: Pound flour into both sides
of the steak, as much as the meat will
take up. Fry in drippings or other fat
in an ordinary pan or kettle, then add
water to cover it. Cover the vessel
tightly, SO that no steam can escape,
and allow the meat to simmer very
gently for two hours. 1t is then ready
to serve, the gravy being already thick
ened by the flour beaten into the steak.
The gravy is delicious and far superior
after the meat is cooked.

Showinq Her Spirit.

James J. Hill, the railroad king,
whom King Albert has asked to re-
organize Belgium, said in Y. NJ. c.
A. address in Chicago:
Success is matter of spirit, the
right spirit II we have the right
spirit, we can't help showing it, and if
we have the wrong spirit, we can't
help showing it, either-like the maid,
you know.
"a lady engaged a maid. This lady
had few current scandals in the fam
lily, and she wanted them kept dark.
So, examining the maid, she said
"'And, Of course, can expect You
to be reticent?'
"'Oh, yes, ma'am,' said the maid.
Yes, indeed, ma am and she added
eagerly, What is there to be reticent
about?'"

EXPERlM ENTS
Teach Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences OF others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
My wife was victim OF nervous
ness. weak stomach and loss OF ap-
petite for years and although we re.
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
I'VE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything 10
take it's place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared as if by
magic 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trOu.
BILE relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an eXaggeration,
as it all happened so quickly Each
day there was Improvement for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle Of this GOOD
work is due to drinking Postum in
place of coffee" Name given by Pos

Postum comes in two forms:

instant Postum soluble powder
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot Wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage instantly. 31c
and soc tins.
Both forms are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.
