Tall English Authors.

Inches would seem not to lack sig
nificance in literature. OF the great
English writer's of the Victorian era
almost all were tall. Tennyson, Car
lyle. Edward Fitzgerald and Matthew
Arnold all reached six feet. Ruskin
touched five feet ten. Froude five feet
eleven, Dickens and Browning fell
short Of the six foot level by only a
narrow space. and Thackeray turned
six feet three.-London Chronicle.

A VANISHING TIP.

When vanishing wood the work
must be done in warm room at a
temperature Of at least Is degrees r.
At lower temperature the moisture
in the air will give milky and cloudy
appearance to the varnish. On the
other hand. at the higher temperature
the moisture is not precipitated until
the alcohol Of the varnish has suffi-
GENTLY evaporated to leave a thin
smooth film of shellac. The durability
and gloss are dependent on this.

October 1, 1911, one man decided
he would make minis in Iowa.
During the first year he met with
the hardest sort of struggle. His type
of mint had never been made in the
west, but he stuck to it and at the
end of the first year he had sold al
most $4,000 pounds.
The second year he increased it to
10000 pounds.
During the month Of October, 1918,
when he modestly told the writer Of
his progress, he admitted he had sold
over six tons in the one month Of his
third year and he predicted he would
make 1o13-1o14 record breaker.
This company was built up through
one mans perseverance.

Iowa Mint F actory Ships
Six Tons In One Month
Success Achieved With Small Town Factory In
Three Snort Years, Though Struggle Was
Hard At First.

This plant makes two grades Of
mint, and also a wintergreen flavor.
The capacity of the plant at the pres
ent time is 1000 pounds day when
put to the limit The usual daily out
put is from 1000 to 1900 pounds. The
main bit of machinery in the plant is
operated by two men, and 40 pounds
of mint can be put through it in one
minute.
As a result Of this one mans stick
toitiveness this company ships mint
into twenty different states and Gov.
ers the greater part Of each Of them.
This man lives in a small town.
There was nothing unusual about his
surroundings, but he made a success

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
BY Frances Marshall.
For Sunday Night Supper. :

Va AuAsNSSy A>A6AS 0uPPSAs
Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Blue Monday comes from the wrong
kind of Sunday night supper as often
as from any other cause. Tea and
toast and jam leave one who Is usual
ly accustomed to a heavy dinner at
night rather faint and hungry on
Monday morning. Welsh rabbit and
mince pie have other more disastrous
effects on ones general mood on Mon
day morning. After a hearty dinner
served somewhere around 1 or 2
o'clock, as is the custom in many fam
lilies, no one feels like a substantial
meal as the day draws to a close. It
is really a puzzle and most house,
wives don't work out the right answer.
In the first place, If possible, have
supper rather later on Sunday night
than is your usual evening meal hour,
especially If you have dined heartily
in the early afternoon. In this way
you and your family will have had
opportunity to work up an appetite"
always to have some really nourish-
ing dish and not to have a preponder-
ance of sweet dishes. But one sub
stantial dis Is enough. and the simp-
Ter it is the better, If it is taken late
and not long before retiring. Another
thing that must be remembered in
making plans for Sunday night supper
is that one frequently has guests for
this meal. and that in the ideal house
hold it should be the sort of meal to
which a guest might be invited at a
very few minutes notice. Our Eng
lish cousins make more Of a practice
Of having guests for Sunday night
supper than we do. though it is always
a pleasant practice.
Still another way to make the Sum
day night supper successful is to get
some sort Of exercise on Sunday after
noon. A long cross-country walk Is
sure to work up an appetite-and. in
oidentally, better spirits on Mon
day morning. "A walk to afternoon
service at church is another way of
working off the effects Of the over
elaborate midday dinner that many Of
US, especially away from the big cit
les. eat on Sunday.
Whatever we 90, IL Is important to
remember that we should eat as near
ly in a normal way as possible on Sun
day. If we have the hearty meal in
the middle Of the day, whereas we
are used to having It at night, we
must manage to get exercise Of some
kind And we must also manage to
have something substantial enough so
that we shan't be tired on Monday
morning.
