Took Good Caro of It,
A physician tells a story of a philan
thropic doctor In a Pennsylvania coal
mining town who presented each house
hold with n nlcu new thermometer and
told the people the necessity of main
taining proper temperature. When
making his rounds one day he observed
his thermometer hanging In the room.
IIo inquired of the woman of the bouse
if she had remembered his Instructions.
"Indeed, sir, 1 do," was the response.
"I hang the thing right up there, and I
watch it carefully to see it does not
get too high."
"Good!" exclaimed the doctor. "And
what do you do when the temperature
rises above "0 degrees?"
"Why, sir," answered the woman
with the air of one faithful to a trust,
"when It geta too high I take It down
and put it outside until it cools off."

In Up to His Ears.
A small negro boy stood by the side
of the road near a river, standing on
one foot, holding his head on one side
and pounding the top of It 'with his
hand.
"What's tho matter?" inquired the
traveler.
"Watah In mah eah," grinned the
boy.
"Well, well, I declare!" said the trav
eling man. "To think I'd forgotten!
I've done the selfsame thing many a
time when I've been in swimming and
got water in my ears."
"I ain't been er swlmmin'," the boy
denied.
"Ilow'd you get water in your car,
then?"
"Ah been eatin' watcrmllllons," was
the reply. Louisville Times.
Not a Husband.
Mrs. Do Troop (who is slwrtsighted)
Good morning, Mrs. Simklns. Your
husband mnst be very fond of garden
ing. I saw him the first thing this
morning down in the bottom of the
garden. And how .well he looks, to bo
sure!
Mrs. Simklns turned her back nnd
slammed the door in her neighbor's
face. The latter, aghast, went to tell
her daughter.
"And you told her, mother, that tho
thing In the onion bod was her hus
band?" "Of course I did."
"Well, that's not her husband.
That's a scarecrow!" Exchange
Our Feathered Friends.
Itose Pastor Phelps Stokes told nt a
charity society a "country week"
story.
"Under an old apple tree," she said,
"I gathered a half dozen little country
weckers about mo one August after
noon, and, holding up a book, I said:
" 'Now, children, I'm going to read
to you. This is a book. It Ib called
"Our Feathered Friends." Who are
our feathered friends, docs any one
know?'
"The urchins on the grass regarded
one another doubtfully. Then a little
chap piped in a shrill key:
"'Angels!' "-Washington Star.

HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Simple Method For Saving
Space In Attic Rooms.
There are thousands of homes where
nttic rooms are "done off," and in al
most every instance n lot of space is
wasted. This can bo overcome In most
cases.
Mnklng a room In a top lloor or at
tic is generally done by paneling or
plastering the walls, nnd where the
roof slopes down to the floor, or nlmost
to the floor, a large place Is cut off by
building a short partition down from
the roof to the lloor.
The partition or wall of such a
room Is generally not high enough for
the average bureau or dresser with its
swivel mirror. No old fashioned bu
reau without a mirror Is high enough
for a chiffonier. And so n smnll one
is generally plnced against this wall.
This takes up a lot of space, sticking
out into the already small room. This
can be avoided if. when the room Is fin
ished, Instead of cutting off this space
back of the short partition, a series of
drawers is built In.
The bottom drawer would be deep
and wide and the other three or Tour
drawers would taper up, the top oue
being quite narrow as the roof is slop
ing toward this short partition all tho
time.
Boiled Ham.
Mix together one tablespoonful of
cloves, one tablespoonful nllsplce, three
cups brown sugar, one red pepper pod.
one medium sized onion, one 'lemon
thinly sliced. Place ham nfter It is
scraped on elevated stand In boiler.
Cover with boiling water, add nbovo
Ingredients and bring to boiling point.
Let cook thirty minutes and then re
duce the heat and let simmer. Allow
twenty minutes for each pound. The
ham is done when the bone can be
easily removed. Let ham cool in liquor
and then pour off, remove the skin nnd
trim. Sprinkle fat side with equal
parts of brown sugar and buttered
breadcrumbs. Stick with cIotcs and
place in oven to brown.
Plain Plum Pudding.
One-half cupful of currants, one cup
ful of seeded raisins, half a cupful of
finely chopped beef suet two cupfuls
of flour, one teaspoonful of mixed
spices, two teaspoonfuls of baking
Iowder, one-half teaspoonful of salt,
half a cupful of sugar, oue egg, three
fourths of a cupful of milk. Clean the
currants and add them to tho seeded
raisins and suet Sift the flour with
the spices, baking powder and salt
add to the fruit with the sugar and
add to tho fruit with the sugar, mois
ten with the egg and milk and turn
Into a greased pudding mold. Steam
three hours and serve with hard or
lemon sauce.
Yankee Pudding.
Remove all lean nnd rind from a
piece of salt pork, chopped fine. Take
one-half cupful of the chopped pork,
roll In flour. Add to It one cupful of
molasses, two-thirds of a cupful of
sweet milk, ono cupful of chopped
and seeded raisins, one cupful of cur
rants, one egg, one-half of a teaspoon
ful oach of cloves, cinnamon and nut
meg, ono teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in warm wntor nnd flour enough to
make very stiff. Steam three hours
and serve with hard sauce.
A Cooking Hint.
In cooking fish a baking sheet Is al
most a necessity; It Is simply a pleco
of galvaulzed or plain sheet Iron, Just
large enough to fit in the bottom of tho
baking pan, with rings at oach end to
lift it by. When tho fish Is prepared
for the oven, set It ou the sheet Iron,
which should bo well greased; then
lower Into tho pan nnd bake. When
done, lift the sheet by tho rings, slip
tho flsh from this on to tho platter
without breaking it nnd serve whole.
Cranberry Sauce.
Clean Uie fruit carefully and cut each
berry in two, if you can afford tho
time. Stew very slowly and put in the
sugar only when tho fruit is nearly
done. A little sugar will keep It from
burning. Tho amount of sugar will de
pend on how sour the fruit Is and bow
sweet you like tho sauce.
Apple Sauce.
Par and core the apples, put them
in a granite saucepan with a very
little water, cook them until they can
tie easily mashed, sweeten to taste
and add a little cinnamon and two or
Uirt- slices of lemon; mix nltogtber
wall and then rub them through a
ImlMr.
