A Lost Art.

An old shepherd who has just died
in a village few miles from here was
unable to count beyond three. Never
theless. he had charge of large fiocks
of sheep and could tell not merely
when one was missing, but which par
ticular animal had disappeared. The
old man was unwilling to explain how
he did it. and the secret had died with
him.-Leighton Buzzard correspond

Grandfather Rock first told JOHNNIE
what a grave offense it was~ for
young Rock not to respect his family
trees and go away by himself, ana
then every one began TO chatter.
"Pick him hard" said some. Beat
him with our wings" said Others
while others cried, death to the de-

Poor Johnnie almost fell off the

And so after a great deal of arguing

THE HOUSEWIFE

Mildewed leather may be cleaned
with vaseline.
Long handles on brooms, brushes
and dustpans save the back.
Dinner plates should always be
sent to the table warm enough not
to cool the food served on them.
To remove grease spots from silk,
take a lump of magnesia, rub it wet
on spot, let dry, then brush the pow

Keep empty spools and slip them
over the nails in the hookless
closet. They are great protection to
the clothes.
Cold baths are good for fever pa

stimulate the circulation. Baths also
tend to lessen the fever.
To prevent a blister from forming
over a burn, mix equal parts of egg
