Notes.
ONE CONSOLATION

From an otherwise no-earthly-account
maid I learned q simple trick which
teel is worth all the wages and energy !
expended on her. Before cooking cram
berries cut each berry 10 half crosswise,
hold the colander under the cold-water
faucet, turn on the water with pretty
good force, and wash out the seeds. At
ter doing this it is not necessary to
strain the crapberries. and the bitter
taste that cranberry sauce so often has is
lacking.
AN EXTRA HAND
recently saw tailor using a simple
but admirable device for holding pins.
| It was sort of third hand and consist.
ed of q bicycle clamp covered with cloth
to which pin-cushion had been sewed.
The clamp was fastened on the left arm
and held the pins always ready
WORTH KNOWING
A small economy that counts In fam

simple dimity spreads for single beds,
spend trif1e more and get double ones.
The extra cloth at the end and eide can
be cut into ten bibs that will not require
ironing and yet look well. Another
| economy Is to buy double-size comfort.
ers for children. They will cut into
three crib-size comforters, only one OF
which will have seam down the

AFTER MANY YEARS OF WORK
Commission Finally Publishes Its
Findings, and, as Usual, the Tax
payers Foot the Bill.

A dog once bit boys leg, so the
latter's father promptly sued the own
err of the animal. After much wrang-
ling the case was submitted to an In
dependent inquiry committee, which
many years after gave their decision
as follows:
ave find the dog partly responsible
for the bite-nOt the owner, whom we
have established has no canniballstic
tendencies. Considering the lndepend-
ent action of the animal, which point
ed to bones In the vicinity, 1t Is to be
regretted that the canine intelligence
did not consider the portion of leg
between It and the said bones.
"The boy is not guilty of negligence
In getting in the dogs way, and we
should compensate him, only he is now
a man, and 1t was n boy who was bit
ten. Likewise he has forgotten which
leg suffered.
eve are inclined to censure the dog
for careless discrimination, but 1t is
dead, so we unanimously conclude no
one Is guilty, except the taxpayers,
who, having derived considerable en-
tertainment from the proceedings,
must now pay the cost thereof.

DOES AWAY WITH incentive
Psychologist Explains How Strong
Emotionalsm Can Be a Fruitful
Source of Harm to Mankind.

When you launch yourself into an
entertaining magazine tale of achieve
ment you unconsciously translate your
self into the hero or heroine and zip
you have burned up the materials Of
personal incentive In one vast bonfire
of the emotions. That's the great
American ailment, according to DR..
David Orr Edison, the psychologist.
Doctor Orr, following a meeting Of
scientists In New York, explained Ger
man kultur as 1t differed from the
psychological attributes of other peo-
pies, especially Americans.
According to Doctor Orr the Ger
mans have, more nearly than any 9TH
er people, dispensed with their emo
lions. The ruthless reality with which
they have replaced their emotions is
what the world now knows as kultur.
And, according to Doctor Orr, 1t points
the direction In which the race is be-
ing hurled.
Among students of mental phe-
nomena emotions have long been
known to hold the greatest Of all Of
the destroying agents of heroic deeds
and, without doubt, physical achieve
ments as WELL" Doctor Orr said. AN
ger, JOY and pity, the goal Of our ac-
tors and writer's, are the utter destruC-
tion of the psychic material which 9TH
erwise would find Its exit In Deeds"

Laws Tolls.

Yale university reports that one-fifth
Of Its living graduates are practicing
law, and that one-fourth of its present
students are preparing to practice 1t.
The three professions of education,
medicine and the ministry, concerning
whose usefulness there is more gen.
eral agreement, can together reckon
only few more students than those
who are taking law. Law is barely
outdistanced by manufacturing, en-
cheering and neutrality-suspicious. In
which sons of rich men are likely to
engage or in which usefulness is likely
to receive a more than generous fnan-
cial recognition. 1t holds this place
because our laws are so complex that
1t takes highly trained, very ingenious
experts to guess what they mean. Yale
university devotes % or "a per cent
OF its enormously expensive plant of
training men whose efforts will most
ly conceal one another, with an occa-
slonal gain to abstract justice, but
with prevailing inefliclency, socially
considered, that is absolutely appall-
ing.-San Francisco Bulletin.
