TUB CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1011. A Stubborn Opening. The head of the household was go ing through her husband's pockets the noxt mornltiir. "What kept you 'out bo late last niRiitt ' sue suuuemy ucmanueu. "It was the opening of the cam paign, ray dear," the lesser hnlf re plied. "Well. It didn't tako three cork screws to open It, did It?" And sho drew the offending articles from his side pocket and waved them before hlra. Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Riot of Ink. Canon NIcholl used to tell how on one occasion he had visited the famous house of the Thrales In that suburb of London whore Dr. Johnson was at home. "Johnson," said the canon in recalling his visit, "had occupied two rooms, and theso were left as he last used them. Tho sight was an extraor dinary one, for Ink was splashed all over tho floor and even on the walls. It was one of tho doctor's habits to dip his pen In Ink and then shake It." Red Tapa and Matrimony. Some of the reasons why a French man may not marry are given by a correspondent of a Paris newspaper, lie has been trying to gt married for throe years and has not yet succeeded. Frencli marriage law Is a tricky thlrig to deal with. If tho prospective bride groom has not lived more than six months at his address at the time of tho marriage ho must get a certificate signed by tho landlord and concierge f every house where ho has lived pre viously till ho gets back to one whore ho did live for six months. Birth cer tificates are required and the written consent of parents. As no paper must bear a date more than two months old, it often happens that the marriage must be postponed to get the papers renewed. The man who had been foiled for three years once succeeded in making all his pa pers correct, when he was called up for his periodical term of military service, and this threw his papers out of date. Another time he arriyed before the mayor with his bride, but the cere mony was not performed, as a certif icate of Ills first wife's death was not forthcoming. V What's In a Name? The late king of Siam had for a full name Phra Bat Somdeth Phra Para minor Malm Chulalongkorn Phra Chu hi Chum ICIo Chow Yu Hua, and this does not Include his titles. A wag in Bombay saw It In the paper when the ruler was visiting that city and was being received by tho British officials and passed it over to a young Irish subaltern with the challenge that ho pronounco it. The young follow look ed nt it a moment and then handed it back. IIo said ho was not long enough winded, but he was sure he could play it on the garrison club piano if the in strument were a couple of octaves longer. Tho king's uncle, however, who was also a prince high priest, had for one nnmo alone tho following col lection of letters: Pawaratsawarlya longUaun. Any one who can gut through this and not flat one of the notes lias lived a long time where ho can look out of the window and see tho gilded peak of a temple shimmer ing in the equatorial sun. Christian nerald. Exclusive. At an evangelistic service at Glasgow tho preacher at the end of his address cried, "Now, all you good people who mean to go to heaven with me, stand up!" With a surge of enthusiasm the audience sprang to its feet, all but an old Scotchman in tho front row, who sat still. Tho horrified evangelist wrung his hands and, addressing hlni, said, "My good man, my good man, don't you want to go to heaven?" Clear and deliberate came the an swer, "Aye. Awra gangin, but no wi' a pairsonally conducted pairty!" St. James Gazette. A Dinner Mishap. Dreadful was tho euilmrrapsment ot ft debutante who was pushed so vig orously under the table at her first dinner that sho spilled claret from every glass at the table. The hostess took It well, though she could doubtless have murdered tho girl's dinner partner, but she lieaved a sigh for her best tablecloth, for claret makes a bad stain. The man redeemed his fault by quiet ly rubbing the spot In front of lib place with salt until It almost entirely disappeared. His partner's" attention attracted, she, too, started a salt rub Soon all the guests at the table were laughingly doing the same until by tho end of the dinner scarcely n traco could bo found of the spilled wine. Cleaning Stains Off Marble To remove stains from white marble mix together one teaspoonful each of soapsuds and ox gall, adding half a gill of turpentine and as much finely powdered pipe clay or fuller's earth as Mil frm n stiff paste. Apply with o brush. Tho mixture should bo allowed to re main on the marble for two or three days. Black marine may bo cleaned by a paste made from equal parts of pearl ash and soft soap. A flannel cloth Is best for applying. After n few minutes sponge off with warm, then with cold, water. When dry, polish with n rag dipped In kero sene. All Alike. Tho following entry appears in the "visitors' book" of a hotel in Germa ny: "Tho living here is good, plain and substantial. So is tho waitress." Points For others Wo mothers get so tired, says Fran ces Ingcrsoll in n recent article. Wo wonder if life is all to be like this, If we must always worry over Johnny's shoes, or father's coat, or tho winter's coal, or where tho rent money is coming from and then the wrinkles and toll worn hands and caro furrows hurt so much w rap when we are tired. Life seems so lutle worth whllo when wo look back upon those things wo meant to do and to be and we think how far wo have "failed" in tho realization. Life to us seems such a sordid thing beside the "other woman's." But when twilight comes, when the restless boyish feet aro still, when mischievous little hands aro quiet, when baby lips drowsily murmur "dood night, rauvver," as little nrms slip from about our neck then, then we know that tho other woman whose life is nil ease and silken luxury would give It all for Just one such twilight hour, would give all her priceless Jewels for Just once to feel encircling baby arms about her neck, and we know we aro rich beyond com pare ' we think of tho time when the v x i' d lassies will grow, because f ih. good men and women, God will ill','. Then wo know, too, that life can hold no greater possibilities, no greater opportunities, than are ours. And as wo put away tho little mud dy shoes and fold up the mussed little garments tho care and worry and fret are all forgot, and wo Ho down In pence, thanking God for the humble toll and sowing that will bear such golden harvest on tho "by and by." Children's Clothing. Children's clothes are always a prob lem for the mother who makes them at home. But even tho baby may profit by the suggestions here given For his or her imperial majesty n creeping frock may bo made by stitch Ing an extra piece of material, 10 by 0 inches, to tho center back of any plain dress or slip. Attach by means of buttons and buttonholes. This band is adjusted after putting on tho dress, which it keeps down over the under clothes and stockings while tho baby Is enjoying himself on tho floor. In sowing tho vents of children's drosses which usually recelvo the hardest of wear tho continuous placket Is the best to use. This is a straight strip of material cut on a lengthwise thread and sowed to the edges of the placket In a straight seam. Tho seam Is folded In tho middle, and the other edge Is then hemmed in position. The band is turned back on the side of tho placket, overlapping the outside so as to form n facing. On the under side it forms a small extension flap. Mitten time is here. Look up your scraps of velvet, plush or cloth to keep tho children's hands warm In the win ter. To secure a pattern have the child place his hand on a piece of pa per, lingers together and thumb out. nnd draw around It. Itound out the up per edge so as to allow plenty of room. Cut two sections for each hand nnd bind tho wrist openings with silk tape. Game For Children. This Is but a variation of the old game of hickory, dlckory dock, but it will amuse small children by the hour and teach them to count at the same time. Tako a piece of thin board or heavy cardboard about twenty inches square. On it draw a circlo eighteen inches in diameter and divide it into twelve sections, numbering them like the hours of a clock. Slake a small top from half a spool and spin It In the center of the circle. Tho number of the section in which tho top stops in dicates tho amount scored by the play er. Any scoro from CO to 200 may bo decided on, nnd tho player who first reaches this amount has won the game. A Nursery Note. "Toddler" Is an nutocrat nnd n mis chievous one. To keep him amused, says au ingenious mother, I have pre sented hitu witli a piece of chnll: (white, as ho still investigates by means of his mouth) and have mnde a dado on tho wall with brown paper. Vhreo smooth new sheets cost next to nothing, but held in place by drawing pins they form a wide space on which the boy can develop his artistic facul ty. En passant, lie Is amused and I am at liberty, the price of further lib erty being fresh paper now and again. Little "Pieo" For Little People. Use split milk crackers for crust. On each part spread apple sauce or any other filling. Add a meringue if desired and brown In tho oven or uso whipped cream. For "custard pie" spread "crust" with blancraango nnd brown. With a sharp knife, mark In quarters. And one child mny have n wholo pie or even two or three of them. Woman's Homo Companion. Cold Water For Children. Glvo children plain cold water to drink. It Is bettor far for them than constant milk or lemonade. A small tumblerful of purp water will not hurt a child at any time. THE LAND OF No. 1169. Beheadings and Curtailings.

A gas card was thrown on his desk by tho mail carrier, and the bill was so big that ho roared like an ex plosion from a "can a damlnlte," as Johnnie said when ho heard him. He was so ugly after that that he discharged Oscar, Ab (I always call the big clown Ab) and Ben. Itaja panned out this morning, and Bob Green landed in bed with a cold.

Just what tlmo It wus when John came In the other morning deponent knoweth not, but certainly it was no sort of time for 11 married man to bo getting home, and his wjfe told him so, though ho knew it perfectly well without being told. Next morning after John had gone to his office his wlfo called up the other woman on tho telephone nnd told about John. The other woman was nil sympathy, aud what tho two had to say about the kind of husband John was was more than plenty. In tho thick of It n friend of John's got on tho wire not intentionally, of course, for he thought John was a model, but bo got there, and it sounded good enough to him to stay nnd listen. But not for long. Presently he coughed, and there was a sudden silence. "Who's that?" inquired John's wife. "It's John," responded the friend and hung up the receiver. New York Press.

Perhaps tho most novel use to which Iread Is put may bo seen In the great factories of the Elgin a t'oual Wntch Company at Elgin, IM., where more than forty loaves of fresh bread aro required each ('ay. ') iit, Gcorgo E, Hunter of the wa U inrtory, Is quoted as saying: "There is no secret regarding t o .vo of bread In this factory, a' .1 I nm willing to tell all I can cone a 'ni' It. From tho earliest times in th- history of watch making It 1 as been the custom of watchmaker lo reduce fresh bread to tho forr if dough. This Is done by tho stc 1 Ir and kneading. They then -a this dough for removing ol' t id chips that naturally adhere, In iho course of manufactures, to plecf-"- is Email as a part of a watch. Th ro are many parts of a watch that ro bo small ns to be barely visible to tho naked eye. Tho oil Is absorbed by this dough and the chips stick to It, nnd there Is no other known sub stance which can bo used as a wiper without leaving some of Its partlrlcs attached to tho thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough In tho watchmaking in dustry. Tho Elgin National Watch Case Company uses something over 40 2-pound loaves a day, or about 24.000 pounds a year.
