 In Charles Lambs Thoughts on Books and Reading there is a little passage which exQuisitely celebrates another form of stolen reading. ] give it bodily in the hope that it's charm may entice someone who has not the joy of knowing the gentle Ella, to search him out.
 Never Did He Enjoy a Book More.
 There is a class of street readers whom I can never contemplate with out affection-the poor gentry who, not having wherewithal to buy or hire a book, f1lch a little learning at the open stalls-the owner with his hard eye casting envious gIances at them all the while and thinking when they will have done. Venturing ten derly, page after page, expecting every moment when he shall inter- pose his interdict and yet unable to deny themselves the qualification, they snatch a fearful joy. Martin B. in this way, by daily fragm ents, got through two volumes of Clarissa, when the stallkeeper damped his laudable ambition by asking him when he meant to purchase the work. M. declares that under no cir cumstance in his life did he ever pe~ ruse a book with half the satisfac- tion that he took in these uneasy snatches."

Cooking utensils should never be allowed to dry before they are washed After drying they are twice as hard to clean and the chances are they will not be thoroughly cleaned.
 All fruit jars that have been used should be sterilized before they are used again. There is danger of the germs of fermentation remaining in the jars and then no matter how ex- pert the canning the contents will spoil.
 The end of the rib roast can be sawed off and corned. If boiled with cabbage it will make good lunch dish.

NEGRO TROOPS IN

German Attack Completely
Broken by Their Artillery
Fire.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE MARINE, July 17-Amer-
lean negro troops are now paritci-
pating in the heavy fighting that
has been developing since the re-
newal of the German offensive. This
is the first time the colored men
have seen heavy action and they are
acquitting themselves we'll.
Their commanding officer, who is
white, was in a hospital many miles
to the rear of the fighting lines suf-
fering from broken ankle. When
he heard that the offensive had been
resumed, he summoned and auto
mobile, and over the emphatic pro-
tests OF his doctors, he raced back
to his organization, which already
was in action and took command.
Three officers who also had been in
bed in hospitals with influenza, re-
joined their units.
The German attack was complete
ly broken up by artillery fire at the
particular point where the negroes
were in the line. The Germans
were held in their trenches at the
very outset of their venture and the
attack suffered heavy losses.
