MENTAL HABITS OF DEBT
Summary of the Illusions That Are
often Employed by the Spend
thrift.

These are mental habits of debt.
William H. Handy says in the Satur-
lay Evening Post.
!. An Overestimate of income. In
mild cases this consists in counting the
maximum. If man is working at S3
day, he multiplies 26 working days
In the month by three, without any al
lowance for sickness, accident, bad
weather or unemployment. If he is
in business he counts the next month
on a par with his best month in the
past; If in profession he figures
the largest possible number of clients.
In the more exaggerated type of debt
mind he expects unexpected good luck
to add to his regular income.
2. An underestimate of expenses.
A tendency to think of the debts sepa-
rately-and to count them as extraor-
binary emergencies that won't happen
next month.
3. Thinking that if you can afford
thing that costs $40 you can afford
better quality that costs only SIS more
the elasticity of optimism.
4. Considering what we want as alb
solute necessities that must be sup
piled at once; but what our creditors
want as luxuries to be looked after in
so or 80 days-or when we get around
to it.
5. Thinking more about what we owe
our station in life than what we owe
our tradesmen. 1t is easy for the debt
making mind to convince itself that
good clothes, fine variety of good
conveniences and a nice home are the
wisest sort of investments-even off
the other fellows money.
6. A feeling-when not pushed by
creditors-that debt is rather a trivial
matter. "Oh, everybody runs accounts.
They know I'm good for it. Why
worry?" An impression that it is
much better to be generous and jolly
than prompt and just.
Z. In thinking that living in the fu-
ture means living off the future. There
is as much difference between hoping
for tomorrow and borrowing from to-
morrow as there is between raising
crop and mortgaging the farm.

TO PRESERVE MEAT
APPROVED METHODS OF PREPA-
RATION FOR CANNING.
Sterilization Of Jars Intended to Con-
tain the Product Is an Important
Feature-ReceptacI Must Be
Absolutely Alright.

Prepare the meat, poultry or game
that it is desired to can by cutting
it into convenient size to fit into the
jars to be used. The jars must De
prepared by being either scalded in
bath of boiling water, or sterlllzed Dy
being placed in a pan OF cold water
to completely cover them, the whole
being gradually heated to the boiling
point, filling the meat into the Jars
directly each one is taken from this
boiling bath. Sterilize the covers OF
the jars by dropping them into boil
ing water just before they are to be
used. Sprinkle the meat with salt.
No water is required, as the meat
makes a jelly itself. Put layer OF
hay in the bottom of a wash-boiler,
and put in the jars. Sometimes they
are packed between the hay to keep
them apart. Fill up the boiler with
cold water nearly to the top Of jars
(having laid covers loosely on top)
and put on the lid. When water
boils let it boil four hours longer,
when the meat will be thoroughly
cooked. If necessary, add more boil
ing water, to keep the jars well COW
cred. When done, take out each jar
separately (have rubbers soaking in
warm water), sealing at once to ex-
clude the air. The main point in
keeping is to have jars sealed air
tight. Before taking out the Jars
have a thick cloth wrung out of cold
water ready to set them on to pre-
vent breaking while Tightening on
the covers.
Another method for poultry or
meat is to cut up, season and stew
the meat or poultry, just as If for
immediate use. After it is thorough
ly cooked it is placed in glass fruit
jars and packed firmly in. Then the
stock is boiled down well, and poured
boiling hot-over the meat in the
jars, and the covers screwed on
tightly.

EVENING
EEAlRY TALED
GOATS FRANKS.
b. MARY GRAHAM BONNER,

1.-THE Goat I am going to tell you
about" said Daddy, was twenty-five
years old. You might think that a
Goat that old would never be naughty,
and would never think of Mischievous
things to do.
But such was not the case with Bill.
He was always thinking of something
to do! Something that would cause
quite little trouble, but not so much
as to make Bill Unpopular. For his
Good Qualities were so much greater
and more numerous than his Bad ones.
"He was very good with the Children,
and if he was taking around the little
Wagon which they had attached to him
with the aid of Harness, he would
never think of any Franks, but would
be as good as good could be.
"He Behaved better than any Pony
could have Behaved. He was patient
and would take the Children for long
Rides, and when their Friends came
to see them, he would take their
Friends for long Rides, too.
"But one day his Master left the To
bacco for his Pipe on the back Porch
Of his House.
"Ah,' said Bill, there is something
for ME! I would like to try that stuff y
He thought of it as Stuff, because he
didn't quite know whether 1t was to
Eat or Drink or Smoke!
"He really didn't care much what ne
Ate. In fact, he would Eat anything
that was given him, and great deal
that was not
HE went up to the Porch and
shifted at the Tobacco. 1t seemed to
him he knew what it was, and yet he
wasn't quite sure, Well, he would
try it!
HE emptied the Tin of Tobacco,
and Ate it all up! Just as he was
Swallowing the last piece his Master
came along.
"The Goat gave a low sound as
though to say: 'Good-morning, Mas
ter. Fine day!
"Now, hanging from the Goats
Goatee, or Beard, was piece Of the
Tobacco. So his Master knew what
had been happening.
"'Oh, Naughty Bill he said.
"Bill put his head to one side, and
then to the other, as if to say: What
ever do you mean by that?
"'Well,' said his Master. You're a
good old Goat, and even if you did
Eat up the Tobacco for my Pipe, l
think you're pretty nice to the Chill
dren.' And he patted the Goat before
he walked away.
""There,' said the Goat to himself.
of course, I'm Nice. He didn't mind
my Eating what was in that Tin. He
was probably glad to be rid Of it. am
very good about Eating up what some
Folks won't touch!
''The Goat started to 60 off, but he
saw inside the door a Pole with Paper
Flowers.
"'How good that would Taste,
thought Bill. The door was q little
Open and he showed it farther and
went Inside. The Masters little Girl
was going to have Party, and she had
arranged a Tiny Pole with Flowers
made of Paper dropping from it. In
each Flower was a little Present for

Revival of Piety Needed.

financial paper, sometime ago said ::
What America needs more than rail-
way extensions and western irrigation,
bigger wheat crops, merchant marine
or larger army or navy, is a revival
of piety-the kind that father and
mother used to have-a piety that
counts it good business to stop for
daily family prayer before breakfast,
right in the middle of the harvest-a
piety that would leave a field half an
hour earlier on prayer meeting nights,
so that they might get the chores done
in time to attend the service"

Oridin of the CurfeW.

A note by Ruskin Butterfield re-
minds us that, although Shakespeare
speaks of "the curfew bell" and Mil
ton of 1.-The far-off curfew sound"
Chaucer more correctly refers to ''cor
few tyne" as curfew was originally
an appliance for covering the fire.
There are examples still in existence.
for instance, in the Hastings (Eng)
museum; they look like large tea
cosies in metal. They served, as mod
ems use fireguards, to prevent sparks
setting the house on fire, and the house
wife heaped the embers together at
night and placed the curfew over them
to lessen the combustion, and in the
morning save the trouble of lighting
the fire again.

Cheap Rice Pudding.

Put three tablespoonfuls of rice
into double boiler with one cupful
of cold water. Boil one-half hour, then
put in three cupfuls of milk and boil
until soft. Stir with a silver fork so
as not to break the rice. When done
take off, beat the yolk of one egg and
stir into the rice. The heat of the
rice will cook the egg enough. Then
turn into the dish you are going to
serve it in and take two tablespoonfuls
of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of nut
meg or cassia and mix together.
Sprinkle over the top of the pudding,
then put a small piece of butter on
here and there. The hot pudding will
melt the butter, forming a brown
frosting over the top.

More Buddha Bones Discovered.

The excavations now being carried
on by the archaeological survey in
India among the miles of ruins in the
Rawalpindi district, famous in the
time of Buddha as the principal uni
versity town in India, have resulted
in the discovery of a casket containing
bones with an inscription indicating
that they are those of Gautama him
self, says bulletin Of the Japan So
ciety.
This is the fourth find of the kind.
The first was upon the borders of Ne
pal many years ago, the second near
Peshawar in 1909, and the third later.
The fact that these relics have been
found in widely separated localities
supports the accepted story that after
the cremation Of Buddha the bones
were distributed among his disciples
and carried by them to number of
distant places.

Do Not Chop Parsley,

When making parsley sauce instead
of chopping the parsley, take it from
the stalk and drop into boiling water
to which a piece of soda the size Of
pea and a pinch of salt have been
added. Boil for a few minutes, then
strain off and stir the parsley into the
melted butter. The parsley dissolves
into small shreds and retains the color
and flavor better than when chopped.

mother and baby, in the sense of Sc
