PAYS TO go TO MARKET

To the continental woman, market,

a leading outdoor sport. Europe has
always been far more economical thai
America, and this method of carefu
food purchasing is one of the first aids
to economical housekeeping, according
to Niksah. You see what you are
getting, there are always opportunities
to pick up bargains and there are N
delivery costs. Marketing by telcphoE,
is almost unknown in Europe outsid

followed by a maid with q basket or
cord bag to carry your purchases. Il
you are not rich enough to have
maid, you carry your own vegetables
in an embroidered cloth bag swinging
from your arm. This cloth bag is al
important point, because it marks you
as an Independent housewife. If yol
were to carry basket or cord bag
you would be taken for somebody's
maid
On either side of the pavement I'M
der the plantains are ranged scores Of
stalls covered with drab awnings. Most
of the stallkeepers are women
Frenchwomen, Italians, Corsicans,
Spanish. They sell all the vegetables
known to botany, and delicacies like
mushrooms, snails and ravioli, which
is dish made Of macaroni and meat,
as well. There are booths for the sale
of flowers and medicinal herbs, and
chickens and doubtful looking cuts of
meat The cream of the custom comes
between nine and eleven. In the last
half-hour there is a great bargain sale
Of everything that will not keep until
the next day and the poorer classes
rush the booths to purchase slightly
damaged but nourishing goods at
ridiculouSly low prices.

BASKET-NET FOR FISHERMAN
How Angler Can Catch Minnows and
Small Fish for Bait.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
the amateur fisherman encounters on
his expeditions is the securing Of live
bait. But if he has included in his
equipment a basket net he can catch
minnows and small fish in any stream.
The frame Of the net is made from
six tempered spring steel rods. To
this the netting is attached with rust
proof ring clips. In the center of the
netting is the bait pocket, in which
bread, meat or other bait is placed
10 attract the minnows. When the
net Is lifted, the weight of the con-
tents causes it to "bag," so that the
minnows will not escape over the
sides.
When the net snags or when, fo'
some other reason, 1t is subjected tC
extraordinary strain, the six tenn
pered steel rods bend inward and
downward until all but one of the
rings by which the net is attached to
the frame slip out of the hooks. This
collapsing of the frame frees the net
from the snag and releases the strain.
The inventor claims, however, that
the net will not collapse except under
extraordinary. strain, which If resisted
would damage the net. 1t folds up
into a compact little bundle which is
scarcely noticeable among the fisher
mans traps"

f,spsls Ser the purpose ct preserving
his physical health, BIT OF conserving
his military effectiveness. Regardless
Of what the civil population subsists
upon, the rationing of the soldier must
not be reduced SO as to curtail the FOOD
requirements.
at oftentimes becomes necessary to
send in advance scouting parties for
whom adequate food supplies cannot
be prepared to be carried by them. 10
meet such military exigencies an emer-
gency ration is essential.
Gas Vedder has pointed out in the
Military Surgeon, an emergency ration
must be balanced and possess q rea-
sonable energy value and tissue-build-
ing power. Palatability must not be
sacrificed. It's bulk must be minimal
in order to prevent the ration from
serving as a drag upon the soldier, al
ready weighed down by his essential
military appurtenances. The food must
be of such a character that it will not
readily deteriorate, while at the same
time it must be cheap and readily pur-
chasable.
"Vedder has suggested as an -emer-
gency ration ten ounces of bareback
and six ounces Of sweet chocolate. The
total weight Of the ration is one pound,
while it supplies approximately 2,1OO
calories, of which $50 calories arise
from protein sources.
"a man resting in bed requires 1,8OC
calories per day to satisfy the normal
heat and energy requirements of bod
lily function. According to Chittenden
on s, low protein diet, $50 calories from
protein are provided with total of
1854 calories for the "a hours. The
haversack ration as at present consti-
tuted supplies approximately 1900 cal
cries per day, with 460 calories arising
from protein elements. This ration
naturally provides the due and proper
amount indicated for soldiers engaged
n hard work.
"The emergency ration suggested is
not liberal in character, and, in fact,
materially reduces the total food re-
quired for the soldier, but this is mere
ly for emergency purposes, and should
not actually interfere to great extent
with the physical health Of the con.
sumner, provided that it is utilized
merely in emergencies. 1t is patent
that the bulk is not excessive, and
that the foods suggested are cheap,
generally available, palatable and re-
sistant to deterioration"

earnestness, "when such training does

the right to call anyone to serve In
case of war, and without training, a
man is worth nothing as soldier. Tn
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for

reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy ply
sically fit may have this training and
not leave 1t for his parents to pay for.
On account Of the expense, not one boy

In wounds. This new substance, how.

wounds still sometimes refuse to heal
especially where frost bite, burns OF
yaricose veins have injured the vital

cases-the most expensive and most
disabling types of wounds-which
"Tethelin" will cure, since 1t stimu
lates the sluggish tissues and enables
nature to work its own repair.
Not only in old wounds has "Tethe

found that often 9pen sores which fol
wears have refused to heal have at
once yielded to treatment with this

Why Girl Messengers Are Failures

Why Girl Messengers Are Failures.
With one or two exceptions, girls
who have tried lately to replace mes
senger boys in New York have failed.
Too much walking, too many display
windows and the inability to stand the
gibes of messengers of the other sex,
and dislike of a uniform are the stun
bling blocks which have thinned the
ranks. Because of a -dearth of boys
due to school starting and calls to
higher up jobs, the telegraph COM
panies advertised for girls. They want
ed girls over 16 for light work, steady
employment" Many girls who didn't
know what they were getting into an
swered. One Office was able to per-
suade three to go to work, and another
got five. After the first day there was
one girl left in each Office. Too much
time lost looking into windows, the
strain of walking all day and the
taunts of boys working with them took
the others. The employers of girl Eles
sengers are not discouraged, however,
and believe by elimination they may
finally get good working force.

vELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was
saying current among the Beers of
South Africa that you could always
recognize q man who had spent five
years on the yeldt. This was saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is place Of great silence and
loneliness and 1t leaves its mark on
those who dwell in 1t.
The veldt Is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureless stretch Of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kopjes, pierced and gashed by
rain-washed gullies that run their
' twisting course from horizon to hori-
zon. The word "veldt" Is closely al
lied to the German word for world"
or universe" and the relationship Is
something more than mere coinci-
dence. To the man standing in the
midst Of this plain 1t seems to extend
In every direction to the outermost
limits of space.
The veldt is without sound or color,
without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile Of the same
hills, and ends In a dry valley as like
the valley Of the morning as one pea
is like another After few days of
this the traveller wonders II his prog
ress is not mere illusion, If he is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony. is
broken by some veldt farm, place of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till it. There will be a farmhouse,
barn, kraal, well and few huts
for the kaffirs. To the railroad may
be distance of anywhere from 20 to
70 miles. Half the year the roads are
impossible. The little community
must be sufficient unto itself. Life on
q veldt farm is severe test Of the
inner resources of man or woman.

Satin, when 1t falls In folds, plays

charming story to tell. The most is

In the bodice very sheer black net is

Over this satin is wrapped about the

These are knotted below the waistline
