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service, and this threw his papers out
of date.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.

What He Heard.
John is his name, and ho lives in

are not necessary. Now, John has a
wlfo who U not ns charitable as she
might bo, and sho litis a woman friend
who hns domestic troubles of her own
and therefore enn and does sympnthlzo
with John's wife. 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

ODD USE FOR DREAD.
Watch Factory Uses Forty 2-ronml
Loaves a Day.
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. American
Food Journal.
