PRlckLY PoRkY HAS A BAD
 DAY

When anger's nursed the whole day
 long
 It grows and grows so very strong It drives the sunshine from the heart And in it's place so large a part It. fills with black and ugly gloom That pleasant thoughts can find no
 room.
 Prickly Porky is slow to anger, as t is best to be. But when he he does grow angry he does not quickly get lover it. Now Chatterer the Red Squirrel will lose his temper all in minute and the next minute will have forgotten all about it. But Prickly Porky is long time getting angry and then he is long time get ting over it. When Old Granny Fox had first told him that Old Man Coyote boasted that he would have porcupine for dinner the very first time he met Prickly Porky it had made him just little bit angry. But after Granny Fox had left him and he thought over what she had told him Prickly Porky's anger began to grow.
 All day long it grew and grew Ii drove away his appetite so that he couldn't eat He just sat up in the top of poplar tree and thought about it. Who was this stranger who had boasted so What right had he to say such things when he knew perfectly we'll that there was no truth in them? Prickly Porky was afraid of no one, not even Farmer Browns boy. and here was Old Man Coyote, whom he had never seen, boastins that he would dine on porcupine Anyway. that is what Granny Fox had said. Wasn't it enough to make any one angry?
 The Merry Little Freezes, who are Prickly Porky's best friends, didn't wk3now what to make of it when they found him so grumpy that he didn't answer them at all. They tried tc tease him into his usual good nature but the more they leased the crosseI he grew, and pretty soon they wisely gave it up and left him alone. Late that afternoon they returned to set If he was feeling any better. Whai they saw upset them so that they hardly knew whether to run away ol stay Prickly Porky had climbed down from the taE poplar tree. Ht was on the ground and for few min utes the Merry Little Freezes couldn't make out what under the sun he wal doing.
 Pretty soon one or them caught z glimpse of PrickIy Porky's eyes. Usu ally they are very dull, but now the. fairly snapped. It seemed as if littl' sparks shot out of them. {
 Why" gasped the Merry LittF Breeze. "Prickiy Porky has lost hi, temper!'
 And he's losing it more every min ute." whispered another.

CHILL IT
 Never put hot foods into the re- frigerator- Heat wastes fee and steam condenses and makes a damp refrigerator.
 If there is need for haste in cooling something put the food to be chilled in a pan and put the pan in another pan of cold water. Then put the whole thing in draft
 As soon as steam has stopped ris- ing the food is cool enough to put in the ice box
 Menu for Tomorrow
 Breakfast-Halves of grapefruit, extravagant waffles. sirup. coffee
 Luncheon-Toasted cheese cand- wiches, pickles. tea
 Dinner-Mutton outlets. creamed potatoes. string beans. romaine salad, nut pudding. coffee.
 My Own Recipes
 The best end of the neck of mutton makes the incest outlets. The chine bone and the ends of the rib bones should be sawed off. leaving the cut let about 4 inches long. The end of each bone should be scraped quite bare for % of an inch. F1atten with a blow from the broad side of chip ping knife. This is an inexpensive cut of meat that few housekeepers use.
 Extraysgant Waffles
 Two cups sweet milk. 15 cup but ter. cups flour. teaspoons baking powder, eggs. IL teaspoon salt.
 Melt butter and add to milk Add flour to make a medium batter More than cups may be needed. Increase the amount of baking powder in pro 1 portion. Add the beaten yolk of the eggs to the batter Add tho whites beaten till stiff and dry. Just before baking add the baking powder and beat vigorously. Bake in hot we'll greased waffle irons Mutton Outlets Five or 6 outlets. tablespoons | dried bread crumbs. 1 tablespoon finely chopped ham. salt and pepper | 1 egg.
 Mix bread crumbs and ham. Th' ham may be omitted. but it give taste. Season with salt and pepper Beat egg slightly with 1 tablespoon cold water. Dip outlets in egg. thel in crumbs and again in egg. Fry Il hot fat Brown quickly and the cook rather slowly. Mutton may b cooked rare if preferred.

After little he started toward the Laughing Brook, rattling his thous- and little spears as he went, and grunting and muttering to himself. The Merry Little Freezes stole along behind to see what it all meant, for never never had they seen Prickly Porky act like this.
 When they came in sight of the Laughing Brook whom should they see but old Man Coyote sitting there. He looked as if he were waiting for some one. and then the Merry Little Freezes realized that Prickly Porky was the one he was waiting for.

 The official iron industry syndi- cate last month raised the prices both of pig iron and rolling mill products, but material is hardly to be had at the official prices and the condition of the rolling mill material market is the same as that of the Stock Exchange, where all are buying and where the insufficient supply has to be rationed.

 Now. since the moon turns around tho earth. at the same time being sus- cepttble tokthe influence of the sun, one can readily conceive s1iat every change in the distance of our globe from the sun would have its effect upon the position of the moon. In other words, according to whether we are nearer or farther from the sun, our attraction on the moon increases or decreased, and consequently the moon must increase or diminish its speed Of movement,
 At present, and since h long time, the moon has been increasing its average speed, The increase, how ever, is insignificant for in one hun dred years the moon has hardly ad- vanced in its trajectory more than ten miles,
 All this, we must admit, is theoret- ical and by no means absolutely exact, When we have greatly improved our tables on the moon and its various positions, we shall still be incapable of predicting for a long time in ad- vance what place the moon will oc- cupy in the heavens. The errors will be very small, but they exist. and the proof is the fact that at each eolipS1 of tn sun we no ice some small error of some seconds in the time calculated and the time actually observed.

 That is how the trade situation is summarized in the monthly report of the Prussian Minister of Trade.

 ''The boom began the report ayers, 'in the early summer and con tinued with rapidly increasing act1v- 3ty. This not only applies to home sales, but also to the export trade.
 "The whole of the manufacturers have more work than they can req sonably cope with.

That was learned by examining ancient eclipses. In 2,OOO years Hle moon seemed to have ad- vanced in space by about two times its diameter, that is to say, that 1t was far from occupying the position as- signed to it by the law formulated by Newton,
