When Does the Day BeaInf

When does a day begin? Different
nations have had their own methods Of
punctuatlng time. Our calendar fol-
lows the Romans in beginning the day
at midnight for all practical purposes
we reckon 1t from sunrise to sunrise.
The Athenians and the Hebrews, how.
ever, began their new day at sunset.
In the story Of Creation we are told,
"And the evening and the morning
were the first day" This Hebrew
habit Of beginning the day at sunset
has survived even to our W time In
regard to the day Of rest. The whole
significance of Burns "Cotter's Satur'
day Night" is lost If we forget that to
the Scotch Presbyterian Saturday
night was a part of the Sabbath. The
weeks cares were thrown aside when
the peasant saw, in the evening shad'
ows, the beginning OF the Lords day.

"a penny saved is a penny earned
is good, sound sense, but the difficulty
seems to be in finding a place to do
the saving.
The cheapness of an article, be it
food or be it clothing does not nee
essarily stamp 1t an economy. Some
things are dear at any price.
Right now I'm thinking about
meats. In our town the very cheap
est boiling piece of beef Is rs cents a
pound, mostly bone. Now If my fam
lily would not eat boiled meat and
all 1 could get u of that boiling
piece was soup stock, l would not save
a penny by buying 1t. Whereas a
much more cut with less
bone. of which my family would eat
every smidge would be the true econ
omy.
There are several ways of looking
at the economy problem and each
housekeeper has to work it out for
her own individual case. A woman
endowed with Yankee thrift finds 1t
much simpler than her southern or
western sister.
We long for an automobile before
we own one. After we own we
can't be happy without a chauffeur.

Mutton Is disliked by many people
on account of the strong flavor. This is
! greatly overcome by removing off SUI
perfious fat. If the outside skin comes
off easily the meat is quite sure to be
good. The fat should be hard, white

Several hands went up but Peters
hand was highest of all. He was hav-
ing lots of trouble with 1t and the
manual training teacher was pretty
cross and Peter did van 1t to be nice
for he was planning on giving it to
mamma for Christmas.

A whole half hour early? Peter
wondered If he could do 1t. Papa
sometimes got up so late that it was
hard to get to school on time m he
couldn't explain because that would
be telling a secret.
At the supper table he had a bril-
liant idea. When he went to bed he
had his hashlight with him. He man
aged to stay awake till everything
was quiet. Then he crept out of bed
stole in mama's room and found the
alarm clock. Carrying it back to his
own room he turned it up half an
hour and carried 1t back. Then he
went downstairs, climbed up in the
chair that he had put in front of the
big clock, and put 1t up half an hour
He had to turn it past ten o'clock
and he had to stand and walt till j
struck ten times. Mercy! What
noise it made. Turning up the little
kitchen clock was an easy matter anC
Peter was soon in bed and fast asleep
He was the first one in his room tbs
next morning and teacher had helped
him over the hard part before anyone
else came.
