THE following may be found
l. helpful to many young house
wives:
No woman who practices trading
at the fancy grocer's or the dell
catessen can call herself a thrifty
housewife. We have too many OF
these stores supplying food that
should be prepared at home at half
the expense. Any woman with the
strength To walk to a store and
shop should be ashamed If she be
equipped with a stove and kitchen
of her own. In the large cities
there is q reason for these mar
kets and they are of course a great
convenience for those able to pay
for the delicacies which the stores
prepare and sell. We had enough
instruction during the late war to
use up every bit of food advan-
tageously; but it is needful that
this knowledge be passed along
each year TO those young house
keepers who still are in need of it
Simple things. nicely served, are

Narrow Thoroughfare

The narrOwest street in the
United States is said to be Treas
ury street in st. Augustine, Fla. 1t
is 6 feet l inch wide. This street
was shown as a street on the map
of st. Augustine in 1877, and
called Treasury street because the
old treasury was on the corner of
this cross street and st. George
street. Carriages used to drive
through it, and a stone was placed
at the entrance on Bay street to
prevent this. The old treasury
building is still standing.

a NNE was not exactly a Cinder-
"A ella in the Owen family of
girls, but she was the most unselfish
of the Quartette and was, therefore.
frequently to be found at home
while the others were enjoying
themselves at this diversion or
that.
The old Owen homestead lay a
few miles out of town and it was
a good many years since Mr.. Owen
had contributed anything to the
family income. He considered his
work done when he sold out his
business to a far-seeing buyer and
had little realized that to bring up
four daughters would take stead
lily increasing income instead of
waning one.
But with two girls teaching near
by and Grace in the county clerks
office in town they managed to live
well. Anne was at home all day
with the mother and, much as she
would have liked to go out to find
employment that would make her

family circles that she was needed
at home. AS a consequence, it was
Anne who had the fewer clothes
Anne who was invited out least
often; Anne who did this and that
when the others were too busy MAX
ing their own way or having a good
time.
The girls had various men friends
that came and went, but none had
assumed serious turn toward mat
rimony. For, to give the young
women their due, they were not in
hurry to leave the old home with
a man who was just a man.
When the extensive new road
building in the county began, there
happened among the score of over
seers, workers, foremen and en-
gineers, to be a young man of un.
usual personality. His name was
John Haven. He took up residence
in the town at the old-fashioned
boarding house known as The Place
and it was not long before he was

India's Sacred Snake

What is generally considered to
be the sacred snake of India is
the hooded cobra. This is a slen.
der-bodied, nervous and active ser
