    DO GIRLS LACK HONOR?
Borne of Them Make II u Practice to
Neglect Their Small Monetary
Oljl IKUIIouk.
Many men there are ay ho insist that
the majority of s' r ' s °f to-day are lack
ing: in honor if not in common honesty.
One man, who is well to do in the world
and does not care a rush for a dollar and
is continually loaning small sums to his
young women friends, asserts that he
lias seldom if ever been repaid, and
fears that he would be attacked with
heart palpitation if a tender of payment
of these loans should be made. Hut men
are not the only victims of the borrow
ing girl. She frequently mulcts those
of her own sex. It may be safely said
that the girl w ho borrows half a dollar
from a fj-ii*l chum when shopping be
cause her own funds have been exhaust
ed and then fails to return it as soon as
she receives her next week's allow ances
is the very girl who, when she becomes
a housekeeper, will thrust all of her
bills into a drawer, shut them up and
finally scheme all sorts of ways to meet
them, and, failing in her ability to do
80, pout and say that the tradespeople
are "mean things" not to extend her
credit, says an exchange. Kverv school
girl knows the type of girl who would
not be thought stingy for the world, is
jolly and ready to"go halves" on all
sorts of fun. yet who often neglects to
reimburse the one who has stood the
whole expense because at the moment
it was more convenient or less conspicu
ous to do so. This girl will finally meet
the obligation, but she will do so at her
convenience. Maybe the girl who has
"footed the bill" will suffer all sorts of
little inconveniences because of the
unusual demand made upon lier purse,
but pride forbidding her mentioning it
Bhe just suffers in silence.
The girl even with an almost limitless
Income should be taught to know that
Elie is one of the fortunate few, that
perhaps her girl associates must be as
careful of their pennies as she is of her
dollars, and that without show or any
Indication of patronage she should al
va.va meet and never neglect any obli
gation.

elegance must be kept from view, but
vlicn it is considered that these petti
coats are worn in the boudoir with fan
cy dressing sacques to match, the
trouble and expense of getting them up
are not regretted.
Around the foot of the skirt are six
accordion plaited ruffles, each put on
with a heading finished with a tiny
ruffle of lace. Lover's knot of the rib
bon velvet are scattered over the skirt
with studied negligence. Worn under
a tliivi gown of the same color, without
a lining, the effect of such a petticoat is
delightful.
Comfort* for the Slrli-lt oom.
An experienced trained itiurse de
clares iliat a double bed is a necessity
in making an invalid comfortable, it
allows ' I changed positions, and in
many ways is an improvement on the
single bed.
In preparing a bed for an invalid al
wavs havi two sets of bed clothing, so
that one set can be aired while the
other is in use. Wool blankets should
be provided in place of down or cotton
covers. Pillows of various sizes are an
absolute necessity. It is much better
to have the pillows filled with -soft
hair than with feathers. Soft springs
are another necessary requirement to
the invalid's comfort, as well as a hair
ms'.tress.
In many rooms there is a room spe
cially reserved for sick purposes. The
furnishings are simple and restful and
the wall paper is selected with care to
avoid the employment of perplexing'
patterns or crude coloring.

CRUMBS OF BREAD.
How to Prepare Them So That They
Can He Kept Almoftt Indefin
itely Without Molding.
Crumbs of bread are always valuable
in breading chops and other meats for
frying, to spread over scalloped dishes,
fried meats, tish and for other pur
poses, as well as for puddings and sweet
dishes.
The secret of preparing these crumb*
so they will keep indefinitely without
mold is to dry them so that all mois
ture is removed from them. Spread
the bread on a tin in the warming oven
under or above the stove, as it is located,
and after it is perfectly dry roll it out
and sift the crumbs. Roll out those
that will not go through the sieve, and
roll and sift them again until there is
merely a handful of crumbs in the
sieve. These few coarse crumbs are
valuable for frying in butter, when used
to scatter over macaroni, noodles and
other pastes prepared to serve with
meats. For puddings dried crumbs
should have boiling milk poured over
them, and .they should remain soaking
in the milk for half an hour or longer
until the milk has cooled, when eggs,
raisins or fruit is added and seasoning
is put in. Such puddings are excellent
baked slowly or boiled in a form. For
stuffing the soft crumbs inside a loaf
of stale bread are used instead of dry
crumbs. Dried crumbs make sweeter
puddings. Toasts for use as a garnish
to soup or to serve with game or chick
en should be cut up in ornamental
shapes in tVy quantity while soft, dried
thoroughly and stored away in boxes
for u u e when required. When needed,
brush them over with melted butter
and brown them in the oven or fry
them a delicate brown in hot fat.—N.
Y. Tribune.
A Cover for llroomn.
A broom cover of cotton flannel in
any dark color is a veritable boon to a
tired housekeeper. Fit the cover close
ly over tint broom in bag fashion tying
it closely with a string run in the upper
hem. The best colors for these covers
are dark gray, red or any other color
that does not crock after sweeping off
the kitchen floor or any painted or hard
wood floor, (io over it with a covered
broom, and every particle of dust can
be easily taken up and the floor polished
almost as bright as if it had been
rubbed with a cloth by hand. A cov
ered broom is valuable for sweeping
piazzas as well as for sweeping down
walls.

EXTENSION LADDER.

Upon almost every farm a tall ladder
would be very convenient, especially in
painting tall buildings, picking apples,
etc., but when a ladder is over ~0 feet
long it is very hard to handle, especial
ly if one man has to do it alone. For
high work I find that an extension lad
der is very handy, and I will try to de
scribe one that is easily made and op
erated. Make two ladders of any lengtl
you desire, but I prefer 15 feet. Makt
the bottom one wide enough to admil
the top one inside of the frame. On
the rounds at the top of the bottom
EXTENSION LADDER,
section bolt two flat pieces of iron on
the outside and bend them over so that
when the top section is laid on the
rounds they will hold it in place. On
the lower ends of the top section bolt
two irons and let them come down
straight, and at the end bend a half
circle, so they wfll just fit over the
rounds; this will support the bottom of
the top section and the irons at the
top will hold it in place. The ladder
can be doubled up and placed where
you want it. Push the top section up
when you desire to climb higher and
stop whenever you want it by simply
setting the irons upon a round. If it is
not wanted for an extension ladder it
can be slipped apart and used as two
single ladders. The illustrations will
show its construction. Fig. 2 in the
cut shows the iron that holds the ladder
together. It is four inches wide at the
top, the side that has the bolts is three
inches and the short side one inch long.
At :i is shown the iron that is fastened
to lower end of top section.—M. C.

IlnlNiiiK I'encheai from Seed.
The prevalence of yellows among
peaches makes their propagation by
budding a danger in spreading the dis
ease. It is in the sap,and if any tree
which the knife cuts into to make a
place for the bud is affected with yel
lows, the taint will be retained by the
knife and spread the yellows to ail the
trees inoculated. It is quite easy to be
sure that a rich, luscious peach is not
affected with yellows, especially i!
gathered from the tree. The pit from
such a peach ought to produce a valua
ble seedling and free from disease. The
low repute of seedling peaches dates
from the time whert the natural fruit
was about the only kind grown. But
even then some valuable seedlings were
found in every seedling produced.—
American Cultivator.
The Feed and the C«n».
There is considerable in a cow's pos
sibility to give a good quality of rich
milk, but it is easy to have that possi
bility ruir.ed by poor feed and care in
bringing up and developing. On the
other hand, no amount of food and care
will induce a cow that gives thin, poor
milk to turn about and give milk which
is rich in solids. Good feed and good
care will help develop many cows that
have been neglected, but if there is any
decided improvement it will be made
with cows that are born to be good
but have not had the opportunity. To
get the most out of any cow, good or
bad, good feed and care are necessary
but it is the good cow that gives the
best returns when well fed and eared
for. —Daily World.
The lin por tn nee of Ilrnlnn^e.
Wet land should be drained, as it may
be the most fertile on the farm. By the
use of drain tile there will be no un
sightly open ditches, and the field can
be cultivated as easily as any other. If
the land is not very wet the cost of
drainage will be but little, and such
land will be just as valuable for pas
ture as before, with the added advan
tage of being adapted to a greater va
riety of grasses tiian formerly. It can
then also come under the regular crop
rotation. If a plot has been too wet
to use for ordinary crops it will also be
too wet for grass some years, and when
drained it will produce green food
earlier in spring and later in the fall.
Teach the I.nmliN to Feeil,
The little lamb should be taught to
eat as soon as possible, by keeping feed
in a trough in a pen near by, so ar
ranged that the lambs can go in and
out at will. This should be kept up un
til the ewe can go through the same
hole that the lamb does, even feeding
the lambs after the sheep goon grass.
If ever a sheep is to have short rations,
don't let it be during the first three
months of its life. The same might be
said of any other kind of stock. Dock
the lambs and castrate the ram lambs
when about two weeks old.—Farmers'

t Parcel of Pun* That Were Worfced
Off All Right Dot They
Didn't Take.
Four traveling men sat on the sidewalk
in front of the Windsor the other night tell
ing stories. The man who smoked stogies
Sad just finished a somnambulist tale.
"Reminds me of what the pickpocket said
to his fellow-prisoner,"' commented the man
with the nasal blossom.
"What was that?"
"I am here, gentlemen," he said, "as the
result of a moment of abstraction."
The pun fell with a dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to
the front again.
"Like the incendiary, eh? There is some
limilanty. He was tnere because of his
habit of making light of things."
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
"B«t did you hear about the forger?"
"No. Why?"
"He was there on account of a simple de
lire to make a name for himself.''
The man with the stogie meditated.
"That reminds me of the burglar," he
:asually remarked. There was a three-min
ute stage wait and the man who liked apple
jack gave way to curiosity.
"Why?"
"As lie said, through nothing but taking
advantage of an opening which offered in a
large mercantile establishment."
The blossomy man had departed, leaving
a wide, far-reaching void. —St. Paul Globe.

when, after annoying blunders in print, I
determined to report my own sermons for
a certain New \ork morning paper. It
chanced that the first time I reported my
self 1 was preaching a sermon on the Peni

emphasis:
' 'You will notice that in these verses
the name of God does not appear once. Is
not this significant?'
"Calm and confident that this time the
sense of my sermon would not be distorted
by careless reporting, I picked up the paper
on Monday morning and read:
" 'You will notice that in these verses the
name of God does not appear once. Is not
this magnificent?' " —Philadelphia Saturday

THE PUBLIC
Something for Sharka In All Llnaa
of Uutlneii to fmry
Upon.
"You must remember," said the man
who was arguing with great volubility and
•elf-approval, "that we owe a duty to th«
public."
"Who is the public?" inquired Mr. Bly
kins, abruptly.
"Why—er—the masses, you know; the
genera! populace."
"No," said Mr. Hlykins, with emphasis,
"you got the wrong idea. The public is
something to be roped in; to be gouged; to
be walked over. To the sugar trust tlie pub
lic is a great congregation of confectionery
consumers. To the beef trust the public it
a vast menagerie of carnivorous bipeds. To
the politician it is a collection of person*
who have influence at elections; to the the
atrical manager, a crowd of people in front
of the box office eager to get rid of money;
to the street car conductor, a lot of creatures
who ought to be made to step lively."
"You think the public gets imposed upon
all around?"
"Yes. It doesn't deserve any better, ana
retribution is always waiting. The man
who imposes on the public in one respeel
lapses back into the general outfit in some'
thing else and is imposed on in his turn.
It's a heartless business all the way
