THE FRESH AIR LADY. She Could Sneeze at a Draft That Wasn't There. The fear of fresh air Is mostly a fig ment of Imagination. Two women were traveling through Europe together. The one. a modern of the moderns, had V' ozone habit hard; the other was of the good old fashioned type to whom a breath of air meant a sneeze, a draft a foreor dained cold and an open window at niglit an immediate need for the un dertaker. One night fate forced these two to room together. Miss Ozone, being the last to retire, threw up both windows ns high as possible after turning out the light. Immediately came sneeze nfter sneeze from the bed. "Oh. I can never stand that draft! Those windows must come down. I'm taking cold already," cried Mrs. Fraid of-air. "Hut it would kill me to sleep in a stuffy room," replied Miss Ozone. "Well, I'll have pneumonia ijy morn ing if you don't!" "flow ridiculous! Don't you know thorough ventilation Is the surest safeguard against pneumonia?" "Oh, dear, I'm getting a chill now. It's outrageously selfish of you to keep those windows up." So Miss Ozone, being younger and really fearing the other would get sick from sheer fright, reluctantly pulled down the windows and endured a restless night, to wake up with a bad headache. In the morning it was found that the open windows that had caused the sneezing and chill were double ones, the outer pair of which had been tight closed throughout the whole discus sion. IN THE KITCHEN. Onion Cake.—Peel five or six large onions, cut in halves and boil fifteen minutes. Drain and chop fine, adding a small lump of butter. Beat two eggs and mix with them four tablespoonfuls of cold mashed potato, two or three tablespoonfuls of chopped ham, about a teaspoonful of caraway seed and a cup of milk. Mix In the chopped on ion and season to taste with salt and pepper. Butter a large, shallow tin, line with a good short paste, spread the mixture over It and bake in a brisk oven. When cooked, lift out of the tin, put on a hot dish on a paper dolly or folded napkin and serve hot. Grape Fruit Salad.—There are sev eral different ways of preparing a grape fruit salad. For a sweet fruit salad, cut in halves, remove the seeds and with a pointed pair of scissors snip the membranes that hold the cen ter core in place and the pulp to the walls, then remove all together. Fill the cavity in the center with powder ed sugar, moistened witli maraschino liquor, sherry or grape juice. Let »<taud in a cold place for several hours before serving. When ready to serve, put a maraschina cherry in the center of each fruit. Serve a half fruit to each guest. White grapes cut up and seeded are aften added to the pulp, which is nearly always served in the prape fruit shell. When possible fresh sour cherries are often substituted for the maraschino. Another grape fruit salad is made by removing the pulp from halved grape fruit, discarding all the pith. This done, return the pulp to the skin, put a tablespoonful of mayonnaise dressing on each half and serve on lettuce leaves. Chopped nuts may be added to the grape fruit pulp or chopped celery when In season HOLDING THE CELLO. An Anecdote of Duport and the Em peror Napoleon. Napoleon, in a way, was fond of musk-. It Is admitted that the mu sical tastes of"the Corsican ogre" were not elevated. But for all that he | loved singing so much that many a time after a concert lie ordered the I vocalists to come t<i the palace and ! sin;j before him and the Empress Jo- ! sepliine. A curious anecdote is told of his j brusque maiiner of dealing with art-1 ists. One iiiylit at a concert at the i Tuilcrics, while Duport, the famous) violoncellist, was performing a solo,! the emperor suddenly entered. Ilia J majesty nodded his head approvingly | and when the piece was finished said j to Duport: "How the deuce do you manage to ] keep that instrument so motionless?" | And, taking up the cello, he tried to [ jam it between his spurred boots. Poor Duport nearly fainted when he | saw his treasure treated like a war j horse. For < several minutes he looked on. trembling from head to foot. At last, however, he darted forward and called out "Sire!" in such pathetic tones that the emperor handed him back the instrument. Duport thereupon showed how the Instrument was held, but every time j bis imperial master extended his hand j to attempt to do it himself Duport threw himself back in alarm till Anal ly Josephine whispered something to her husband, who burst out laughing and put an end to the cello lesson Now York Sun. teaching the Koyai salute. Crossing the deck of the Kaiser Wll helm 11. royal yacht with a large mug' of beer In his hand, one of the sailors was startled by the sudden appearance of his royal master. He made a most clumsy nttempt to salute with his free hand, while Ins anxiety to prevent the beer spilling amused Ills majesty. "Look here," said the latter, "you didn't do that right. I.et me show you how It ought to be done." Telling the man to fancy that he was the em peror, who was to be saluted, the kai ser took the mug and retreated a few paces. Then, coming forward again, ' stopping opposite to the sailor, he held the mug to his lips, drained it, put it; down on the deck and gave the salute j with military precision. "That's the! way to do It,"he remarked to tho as tonished seaman. "Now go down stairs and tell them to fill the mug up again and give you one for yourself Say it was I who drank It." Old Fashioned. "Did he ever castigate his son for playing truant?" "No; he never fooled with them new fangled ways o' doin'. He Jest give him a sound llckin'."—Baltimore Amer ican.

"Charlie Culberson made me take it when he was governor of Texas," re plied the Houston editor. "I told him I might have to wear a title, but I'd he hanged if I'd wear a uniform. One day I met the governor on the street, and he said, 'Hello, Bill.' " 'Hello, Charlie,' I replied. '"ls that the proper manner to ad dress your commanding officer?' ho demanded sternly. 'Stand up straight, salute and say "Governor." Where's your uniform?' "The office Isn't worth sl2f> of gold lace,' I replied hotly. "'About face! March!' commanded the governor, and he marched me Into a tailor shop. " J Make this man a colonel's uniform and send the bill to me,' he said. I "I couldn't Btand for that, so I enid, | 'I give you to understand, sir, if I'v» j got to be a colonel I can buy my own j uniform and put on ns much gold lace as any man In Texas.' "That's how I came to be a colonel and to have for sale cheap as fine a military uniform as ever was made in the south."—Exchange. When Waking Up. Here la a bit of Information It will pay you to keep ready for reference, though you will perhaps turn up your nose at It at the first reading: "How to wake up and wake up fully and quickly. Most people prefer not to wake up in the morning—that Is, they think of the pleasure there would be ' In Just live minutes' more of sleep if I only that alarm clock bad not sound i ed Its warning. Of course you have to get up, and if there is really any thing that will make the job easier and more pleasant you will want to know übout it. Doctors have long ago agreed that dullness ou first awakening in the morning is due to sluggish circu lation of the blood in the brain. This can be quickly overcome by massaging the neck in the neighborhood of the Jugular vein, thus stirring the blood to life and action. Rub your neck well 011 both sides aud drowsiness will leave you. Try it."- New York Times. Happy Either Way. The old Duke of Norfolk, who was a very shabby dresser, met a privileged friend In Bond street, London. Said the privileged friend, a military man of the premier duke's own age: "Why. duke, what's come to your clothes? You look as If you had raked over your rag bag to find them!" The duke replied, with a shrug: "What does it matter what I wear here? No one knows me!" A few months later the same friend, himself always a well dressed man, met the duke again, pot tering about in the neighborhood of Arundel, the delightful Sussex village under a hill crowned by the castle from whose name the eldest son of a Duke of Norfolk always takes his "courtesy" title—Earl of Arundel. "Why, duke," said his friend again, "what's the matter with your clothes 7" The duke shrugged his shoulders again. "What does It matter what I wear here? Every one knows me!" German Lotte-ies. In an article on the lotteries the Ber liner Tageblatt says there are three ways by which wealth is acquired—by work, which Is long and tedious; by dishonesty, which Is a precarious pro ceedlng, and by gambling. The num ber of persons who prefer the last named method, says the writer, is large in the German realm, for there the great lotteries thrive best. There are seven of these under the manage ment of the government, and they dis tribute $160,000,000 in prizes. The anx iety to secure a part of this amount has destroyed the happiness of thou sands of households and has diverted thousands of good men from honest Industry and thrift to idleness and poverty. In the seven lotteries there are about 22,000 winners a year, but of these only about (550 receive prizes of more than 1,000 marks each. Using the Opportunity, "About the most resourceful young yerson I've encountered In the real es tate line," said a Pittsburg man, "came from Ohio. He secured a place with a real estate firm. The second evening he was in town one of his co-workers Introduced him to an evening gather ing at the house of a well known merchant. The company, learning that the newcomer possessed a voice. Invit ed him to sing. He responded with 'Home, Sweet Home.' "Everybody was surprised at his se lection, but as It was well done he was heartily applauded. Then he sur prised them some more. "Stepping forward to the center of the room, he said: " "I'm glad you liked the song. There Is nothing like "Home, Sweet Home," and let me say that our firm Is selling them on terms to suit and within twelve miles of the city. If you don't care to live there the fact yet remains that it's the chance of your life for an investment.' "—Kansas City Independ ent.
