THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Cut glass should be washed and
rinsed in water that is not very hot
and of same temperature.
To clean the frying pan or dripping
pan or any other difficult cooking
utensils, use crushed pieces of news
paper. After rinsing with hot water
take several pieces of paper in turn,
crush in the hand and rub thoroughly;
you will find the kettle or pan will
wash very easily.
When ones hands are very dirty,
and time is precious, try using little
granulated sugar with the soap
Always put baking soda in the
cake by sitting it with the -four. When
you mix it with hot water or in the
sour milk it gives off the gas that
should be in the cake to raise it. This
is not lost when you sift with flour.
To remove stains from ivory handles
of knives and to keep them from turn
ing yellow, rub with pieces of lemon
then wash in soap and water; dry
thoroughly.
Use dry dustless buster on your
windows occasionally; it will remove
the film of light gray dist and polish
the glass. When the buster begins to
wear out, rub your stove with it; il
will save the labor of frequent black
ing.

little while ago they got angry with
us about a trifie and now will not
speak to us. We love these boys very
much. What should we do to win them
back?
90 Should the boy or girl speak
first when they meet on the street?
go When we wish to introduce these
boys in company what should we say?
CHUMS.
% The boys are very foolish to act
so and their affections are not worth
winning. Let them go.
(2) The girl should speak first, but
not unless the boy shows by the ex-
preston on his face that he would
like to have her.

have you meet Mr. Smith"

THE CHARM OF HELEN KELLER.

The charm of Helen Keller lies not
so much in what she does as in the
manner of doing it When speaking in
public she seems to really look at her
audience with her sightless eyes and
SENS to hear their signs of wonder
and admiration as she tells them her
Joyous story of rebirth and uplift into
a world of form and color, of sight
and sound. Her words come slowly as
If weighed carefully, but not hating
~ as if with a great effort. She is SO
thoroughly in touch with all that is
going on in the world-she keeps so
well posted on the latest news-it is
no mere recital of a hackneyed speech
that is given to the listeners but
stirring account, furnished and enliv-
ened with the happenings of the day.
She is always so very much alive-al-
ways so eager for news of all that is
doing in the busy world about her-she
is never satisfied with yesterdays re-
cital but adds TO it and makes todays
as new and as fresh as if an entirely
different matter from that of yester-
day.
In conversation she shows the same
ability to entertain. She is as much at
home with the news from Europe and
talks as intelligently about the causes
that led up to the German declaration
Of war as she does about the squirrels
in the yard about her home in Massa-
chusetts or the different kinds of
mushrooms that she is able to distin-
guish by the sense of touch and smell.
She is keenly alive to the affairs of mo-
nent in Washington as she is to the
building of new nests by her fav-
orite birds on her front porch. Her
sense of humor is as much in evidence
as that OF pToportion-her visitors are
not so amazed as they are amused and
entertained; they seem for the mo-
ment to be conversing with a young
lady as well blessed with faculties of
speech and hearing and sight as they.
and equally able to carry on the bur
den of the conversation of the mo-
ment
Miss Keller is to speak at the First
Congregational church, Moline, Tues
day evening, Jan. II, under the aus
