The Girl Who Fuses.

The fussy girl sat next us in the car
this morning. And she fused and she
fused and she fused. She settled her
self three times. hunched up her right
shoulder. took off her right glove and
patted her hair, pulled the back of her
collar into shape, shrugged up her left
shoulder. pulled off her left glove and
patted her hair, pushed her hat little
more to one side and put on both
gloves, patted her hair and crossed her
right ankle over her left, squared both
shoulders and patted her hair, settled
herself in new position and pulled
her coat down at the waist, patted her
hair, surveyed her nose in the tiny
glass at the bottom of her bag and pat
ted her hair. pulled her hat wee bit
more to one side and reversed her an
kles, then began at the top of her pro-
gram and repeated it.-Worcester Post,

Cadets of Switzerland.

Although no Swiss is legally liable
for military service until the year in
which he reaches the age Of twenty,
nevertheless a very large number OF
boys begin at the age of twelve to
train as cadets and learn to carry and
use rifles and to drill. These boys are
supplied with their rifles by the GOV
ernment. but keep them at home and
are responsible for having them always
in proper condition. Should a rifle be
found on inspection not to have been
properly cleaned the boys parents are
liable to heavy fine, and should this
neglect occur second time the boy
may be punished by being dismissed
from the cadet corps. this naturally
being disgrace from which every boy
shrinkS. These cadets all wear uni
forms, which are supplied by the par
ents or. if the latter be in poor cir
cumstances. then by the cadet corps
association. Some of these Swiss ca
diets now have even light artillery.

filipinos Are Lazy.

The Filipino strikes me as unbear
ably lazy. He has had roads built
for him, schools run for him, good gov
eminent and peace secured to him and
an unusual measure of confidence
placed in him. He has graduated from
almost no clothes into spotless white,
with patent leather kicks" clean
shirt and respondent tie, so that he
looks like the swell member of pair
of black face comedians. He has had
sitting down" jobs created or discov-
ered for him and has taken with re-
markable alacrity to the ice cream soda
habit, just like any other cultured be-
Ing. He has learned to speak English
very well and has been trained into
really good athlete. But, as far as
/ can see. so far, he is not much chang
ed since the days when he dawdled
into school, followed by servant to
carry his books and ink bottle. | doubt
very much whether he will work as
bard or as intelligently to make some
thing of himself and the islands as
Uncle Sam has worked for him.-Chris-
tian Herald.

NorthcIiffe's Test.

In Everybody's Magazine Isaac F.
Marcosson furnishes a concrete Incl
dent which explains in a manner Lord
Northcliffe's wonderful success as a
journalist. 1t shows why Northcliffe
and his ramified interests have forged
ahead
He once met subeditor in the corri-
dor of the London Mail building and
asked him how he was getting along.
"Splendidly. thank you," was the re-
ply.
How long have you been with meY'
six months, my lord"
what money are you gettingY
Seven pounds a week"
"Are you happy and contented?"
"Yes, but l have lots of leisure"
'Then you are not the man for me.
l don't want any member of my staff
to be happy and contented on f7 a
week"
He himself has never been content
with inan or machine when he could
get u better one.

Grandmother's Method of
Making Kitchen Soap

Grandmother knew how to make use
of leftover fats and greases, and she
kept the kitchen supplied with useful
grade of homemade soap.
Here's the way she did it:
She saved all of the drippings not
useful for cooking and kept them in a
large earthenware crock, and at the
end of each month she made them into
soap.
First she put all the fat into a large
Kettle on the back of the stove, and
when 1t was all melted she cut up a
large raw potato and dropped it in to
purify it. Then she let the fat cook
slowly until all the water was evap-
grated or until it stopped sputtering.
When the fat was pure she strained it
through several thicknesses of cheese
cloth, or if she wanted it whittier she
strained it through charcoal or clay.
She made soda solution of one
pound of pure caustic soda dissolved in
five pints of water and mixed in four
teen ounces Of this solution to each
pound of pure warm fat, and she STIR
red the mass until smooth. Then she
poured the mixture into pans or boxes
lined with creased paper and put it
away in dry place to harden until
needed.

Mothers Doll Story
Billikins' Swim

Billikins was a big indestructible
doll with bright blue eyes and rosy
lips and cheeks. His hair was plas-
tered down fiat to his head. In fact,
Billikins was not very good looking
doll. But, then, indestructible dolls
are apt to be quite homely. The nice
point about them is that the little boys
and girls can treat them rather harsh
ly-leave them outdoors all night, step
on them, roll ON them-without harm
ing them in any way.
Billikins cost quite lot Of money,
but the little girl who owned him did
not care about that.
Near the back door stood a nice tub
Of water that folks used to water the
sweet peas and the pansies with. One
day the little girl who owned Billikins
thought it would be great fun to give
Billikins bath in this tub. So she
just threw him in and sozzled him up
and down, and when the cook called
her to come and get some gingerbread
she quite forgot all about him and left
him in the tub.
The next day when she went to get
him poor Billikins was bald, and his
cheeks were pale, and his eyes were
gone. In fact. he was nothing but Just
wet mass of indestructible stuff that
looked like anything but a nice doll.
SO he had to go to tie doll hospital to
get fixed all well again.

price for the 1917 grain. The minimum
price for the 1918 grain has already
been set by congress.
Nothing must operate if possible to
reduce production. A fair price for
the farmer, therefore, is supremely i'm
portant.''
A native of Ohio, Mr.. Garfield was
graduated from Williams college in 1885
at the age Of twenty-five. Later he
studied law at Columbia university,
Inns Of court, in London, and Oxford.
Returning to this country, he was ad-
mitted to the bar in Ohio in 1888. In
1903 he retired from the practice Of
law to accept the chair Of politics at
Princeton university. Since 1908 he
has been president of Williams col
lege, Williamstown, Mass, from
which institution his father was grad
uated in 1865.

THERE'S NO FUN LIKE WORK.

1t has been observed that a boy
sent out to weed a garden develops
symptoms Of heat prostration very
early in the forenoon. The same boy
can field, bat and run bases like a
fiend for hours at stretch and have
strength enough left to go fishing for
ieels in the evening. An eminent psy-
chologist has discovered that it was
mot all taking" The stimulation Of
the baseball game brings into play
certain physical and mental resources
which enormously increase the boys
powers of endurance.
The lesson is obvious. At the farm
camp, reveille on the bugle, spirited
march to the field and a carefully
}schemed system of competition will
accomplish for more than a sermon,
IA sour look or a scolding. Even the
isolated home gardens Of scattered
troop may be united in a system
which will develop team work.

Sn1artly Said

An emergency always brings to light
our yellow streaks.
A family can flash a coat of arms
and still not look the part
A fast life usually ends in a slow
death.
Bachelors eye with suspicion women
who are agreeable to them.
Some women exercise the right of
free speech only to their detriment.
1t is wise child who recognizes its
father dolled up in automobile togs.
The forceful man at home meekly
obeys the boss slightest command.
The irony of fate is as nothing when
compared with the irony of woman.
The energizer of life is work, but
those who fail awaken too late to this
fact.
Silence is golden, especially when
talking Of the war and you can't pro-
nounce the names of the foreign cities.
