THE BUILDING

The Natural Pride of Those Who

empire Of grain and cattle, horse and

Of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. If they

Earms--large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo Of
laborious work of the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men Of the highest
stamp Of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type OF manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out Of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau

Of manhood, wrest from him faults

AN IDEAL HOSTESS.

Being a hostes means considerably
more than setting forth a great feast
for your guests.
One always delightful hostess main
tins that poise that is an absolute ne
cessity to the attainment of any de-

she seems to accomplish the most diff

er it be for a club meeting, a large So
cial function, or dinner for a small
group of friends, awakes anticipations
of the greatest pleasure.
Being asked the secret of her great
success, she replied: When preparing
for guests 1 always keep in mind the
fact that being a hostess means many
things besides having the house and
meal up to ones standard. 1t means
radiating cheer. hospitality and friend
ship. 1t means exchange of thoughts
on the topics of vital interest to my
family and my friends. 1t means per-

should be a simple matter, but the av-

1t is not that the Szechuanese are
not clever and ingenious. Those who
have known them longest question
whether in a match on even terms our
own race could keep up with this peo-
pie. Their physiognomy tends to be
refined and intellectual, with little of
the Monaghan cast OF feature. One
comes on youthful shepherds, who re-
call the wonderful shepherd Antinous,
who became the faVorite of the EN-
peror Hadrian. Oval faces with arch
ing, penciled eyebrows, fine eyes, deli
cate temples, straight noses and high
cut nostrils challenge ones notion that
male beauty went out with the Greeks.
or course, the yellow race can never
match the whites in charm Of tint, but,
as regards mold, doubt If there is
anywhere countenance more worthy
of the supermen Of the year 10000 A.
u. than that Of the high-bred Chinese.
But they glory not at all In their
physical possibilities, and athletic
among them. For centu' les the spec
tacled scholar has been the pace setter,
and debility has been supposed to be
necessary accompaniment of intellect.
The merchant glories in his soft
muscles and his paunch. Even walk
ing Is demeaning and foreign officers
promenading the streets in Chengtu
have been taken for foreign coolies
because they used their legs. Perhaps
the athletic games fostered by the
Christian schools and colleges together
with the inspiring slogan of the
Young Mems Christian association.
"All-round development-physic in
tellectual moral and religious-for my
self and for Others" will cure the leth-
argy that lies like an evil spirit on the
energies of most of the yellow race.

THE COMING OF SNOW

Richard LIE GalIienne in Harper's Maya


Richard LIE Gallienne in Harper's Maya
Snow brings e curious sense Of friendli-
ness and gayety. Though q child of the
cold, the gentle sister Of the frost, II has
a warm, caressing, playful way with 1t,
and, particularly In the city, at once
evokes a mood of holiday making even in
the most serious and care worn hearts.
Mankind at large seems to be filled with a
boyish glee at its coming, and, at what
ever expense to our convenience, tieups
of traffic, and other interruptions of our
serious business, the wilder 1t whirls and
the thicker it falls the better pleased we
grow.
We read of telegraph wires down. of
trains north and west showed in, of snow
plows fighting their way through 29-foot
drifts, and the like excitements with
faction In the triumphs of this wild, white,
simple thing from the wilderness that is
able with such ease to throw out of gear
all the complex machinery OF our boasted
civilization, and with its soft fingers stop
so effectively the pompous work OF the
world.
Deep In our hearts, am sure, we are
glad of the enforced interruption to the
dull routine OF our lives 1t was so at
school we might have rejoiced In any
happening, however calamitous. from the
burning alive of the head master to an
epidemic OF scarlet fever. that for the time
made going to school an absolute inpos-
sibility.
So the coming of the snow proclaims a
sort of elemental holiday, and, however
the superficial grownup side of us affects
irritation at the state OF the streets, and
fumes and fuses at the blocked trolleys,
the eternal school boy In US secretly ex-
ults and entertains q wild desire to snow
ball the passersby and roll In the luscious
gathering drifts.

HERBS FOR FLAV0RING.

Copyright 1916, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Most of us don't really appreciate
the value Of herbs in our modern die
tary. We drop bay leaf into the soup
sometimeS-usually too much bay leaf
when we use it at all. And we use
some of the other herbs now and then.
But we don't use them discriminating
ly, and we don't get the most out Of
them.
The use Of herbs used to be much
better understood than II is now. OF
course in those days herbs were sup
posed to have such a curative value
that they were brewed into strange and
wonderful teas for medicine. But they
were also wisely used to flavor meats
and vegetable and soups.
One reason, perhaps, that we don't
use herbs so much today is that our
food is, on the whole, so much better
favored than 1t used to be. We don't
have to depend on such things as pei
litory, roots of campion. striplex and
ditany--as medieval cooks did-for
flavor in our meals. We get 1t in the
fresh green vegetables we are able to
buy throughout the winter, or oranges
and grapefruit and in fresh meats.
One thing we must learn about the
use of herbs is to use them so that
their best flavor is brought out. Take
bay leaves, for instance. The best
flavor comes from q small amount OF
the leaf, cooked for a short time. For
instance, II you wish bay leaf flavor
in q stew or ragout, drop in half q
leaf half an hour before the stew is
done and remove it before serving. Use
1t the same way in soups.
Thyme, summer saVory and some OF
the other herbs are not so strong as
bay leaf and can be used more liberal
ly also, as they are used powered, and
need not be strained out.
Various herbs combine well. Parsley,
for one, combines with almost any
other flavor, and serves to bring out
different tastes. Celery, too. which Is
classed among herbs sometimes, COM
bincs well with other flavors. 1t
should be rather sparingly used, as 1t
is strong and, when used in combina-
ton with other flavors, should not be
allowed to overwhelm them, but rather
to bring them out
1t is a good plan to make little
cheescloth bags OF herbs, well COM
bined, to season sauces, soups and
stews. Put the herbs that you think
combine we'll in little squares of
cheesecloth, tie them securely with
string or thread, and pack them away
in a glass jar for use as they are
needed.
Keep all herbs in tightly covered tin
boxes or glass jars, for dampness de-
teriorates them.

To those who can not understand
why certain. people should be horri-
fed at the burning of the Louvain
library, the ruination Of beautiful

shocked at the loss or humiliation OF

that II Is the custom OF the world to
regard the body and soul OF a man
as something inferior In value to q

There is nothing so cheap as hui

that men are easily replaced; and
so long as men permit certain sec
lions Of their fellows to think they
are cheap, not worth the interest
bestowed on a building or a book,
