fanatics, whose creed prohibited the

COURAGE and Courtesy.

1t is recorded Of General Sheridan
that be was once asked who, in his
opinion, was the most reliable of the
corps commanders. and he unhesitat-
ingly answered. General Hancock. He
said. IF | wanted a man to stay
where / put him, If located him at
night and wanted to find him right
there in the morning, I'd select Han
cock" And then further Sheridan
said:
For genuine politeness and gentle
regard for women Hancock was in
comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came
into his room twenty times in half
an hour he would always stand up"
There is a compliment indeed. The
bravest commander was the most
courteous to women, and, what was
best Of all. he included his own wife
among the objects of his courtesy.
That is something many men forget
they are courteous to all women ex-
cept TO their own wives.-Ohio State

The Penetrating Stare.

Can stare be felt? A woman who
has conducted many experiments says
it can, that mo matter how deep her
absorption, the stare at her back will
always disturb her. All girls feel a
stare" Dr. Coover "a psychologist"
says a stare is not felt and that he
has tested it thousand times. 1t Is
probably all imagination on the part
of the woman, for 1t is easy in such
cases for what one imagines to be-
come real to her. Where she passes a
man, and he stares at her, she can
doubtless feel that stare block away,
for it will take awhile for the impress
sion of a stare to pass away. Stares
are no doubt great annoyance to wo-
men, but there Is no way to prohibit
them. The only way to do to abolish
the stare is for women to dress simply
and go modestly about their business.

Takinu an Impression.

The original point of view of Stephen
Hawcis, the English painter, Is seen In
the following fable, which was includ-
ed In a letter to friend:
The artist peeped into a window of a
room where retired merchant sat,
doing n jigsaw puzzle.
"Whose is that strange face" the
merchant asked anxlously.
II saw no one" his wife said.
81 did. / saw strange face dis
tinctly"-but before he reached the
window the artist was gone.
"Do you think it was burglar? his
wife said.

thing
Investigation showed that nothing
was missing, but the artist had taken
away an impression which he sold to

When making apple float try baking

Instead of frying your pork chops,

Nickel In Soapmaklna.

1t will probably be news to the aver
age ablutionist that the metal nickel
is used in making his soap. And fur
ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn
that although the nickel, finely ground
is mixed with the other soap ingredi
ents the finished product contains
none of it. This is so because the
nickel acts as what the chemists call
a catalyst-that is, its presence causes
certain desirable changes to occur, al
though 1t takesSno part in the chemi
cal reaction. Offensive oils and those
too thin for satisfactory use when
mixed with finely divided nickel and
subjected to the action of current
of hydrogen become deodorized and
harder and suitable for the soapmak-
er's use. Cottonseed oil, for example
after the nickel-hydrogen treatment,
makes satisfactory soap.-Pittsburgh
