ff CO-OPERATIVE EATING. ONE SOLUTION TO THE VEXING SER VANT GIRL QUESTION, Meat Taa Cent and No fare A Mlchl' a Villas Tench a I.aen in the l rltlM Problem of Kcnnntnlral Living and "till Having Ilia tteat. Decatur, a prosperous little village twenty-fire miles welt of Kalama.oo, Mich., la the scene of an Interesting experiment with a plan to solve tho problem of economical living and to do away with the servant question. Briefly stated, the Idea la the main tenance ot a common table by some twenty-live of the leaJIng families of the town, about one hundred persons being served In this way. A place for the experiment was found In a vacant hop building, which had been fitted up for the purpose. The first week the cost averaged 12 1-2 cents a menl for each person. The second week the cost was 10 cents. 1 O. Stewart, a merchant, first thought of the plan. Mr. Stewart was asked to tell about the undertaking. "There were two chief considera tions," he said. ' Hirst, I thought It would be a great convenience for the business men of tho village, who are often hurried at lunch time, and do not like to leave their stores. -Then, even In this little village, the servant question cuts conslderablo of a figure. The girls prefer to work la the shops or In the fruit fields and It Is difficult to got competent help. I had experienced some difficulty In these respects and so I began to fig ure. "The result was the organization of this cooperative scheme. We do not have a formal organisation, nor keep elaborate books. The best people in the village are Interested." Mr. Stewart proceeded to explain the practical working of the plan. Two competent cooks were engaged and a sufficient number of waiters to aerve the different families promptly. Each family has its table, except that several families, consisting of only two persons, may bo seated at one table. A strict account of everything is kept and at the end of each week all bills are audited and the expense Jlv ' ided pro rata. In this settling of ac counts everything Is Included, such aa rent, fuel and lights. When the bills for the week are settled the organiza tion owes nothing, and has aa assets .whatever may be left over in the com , tnlssary department "We get the best of everything," aid Mr. Stewart, "the best groceries nd the best meats. Our butter is creamery butter and all the rest of the materials are equally good. "The management Is in the hands of an executive comittee of five elect ed for thirty days and the menu for each week is prepared by another committee of five. "I believe that the same plan could be worked to advantage in the large cities, and It would go far to solve the vexatious servant question. It seems to me that It would be feasible to se cure some dwelling, for instance, and fit it up for the purpose. It would then be possible to have private din ing rooms only the cuisine being com mon." Mrs. H. C. Lamond who Is a member ot the executive committee was asked for a sample menu. She furnished the following: Breakfast. Breakfast Food. Fried Potatoes. Eggs. Cookies. Doughnuts. Coffee. Chocolate. Dinner. Roast Beef. Roast Pork. Oravy Dressing. Green Corn. Boiled Potatoes. Tea, hot or cold. Tapioca Pudding. Apple Pie. Whit Bread. Brown Bread. Supper. Cream Potatoes. Cold Meats. Warm Bread. Cake. Plum Sauce. Tea, bot or cold. She was asked if the plan worked y weif uu ji iv was ecuuuiuicax. "It has Its advantages and some dis advantages," she replied. "Whether it is econmical or not depends some what on the style in which a person Is accustomed to live; whether one keeps servants or not, for Instance. But, considering merely what is fur nished, it certainly is economical. "We are able to get better dishes at lower cost than if we set a separate table. The plan enables us to buy at wholesale and we reap the advan tages. "Take the matter of roasts, as a point of illustration. A good roast of meat is not an economical thing for " a small family to buy. You cannot get a good roast unless It weighs sev eral pounds, and the small family finds on Its bands a large remnant, not all ot which can be well utilized, no matter bow clever the housewife la in planning. "By this method we get twenty pound roasts and at course we get the best Then our bread, is baked fresh very day In our own ovens and that Is a fine feautre. "We have our Individual tables. At our table there are three families, each consisting of husband and wife. "We each furnish our own silver and we have a vase In the centre of the table which we keep filled with flowers. We take turns in furnishing the table linen., Our silver la taken up, clfjued and put back In the places, we occupy respectively. Ton see, we save a good deal of . work, we save on our linen and al tc;ther I nave found that the plan takes considerable responsibility oil my Bhouldors. If the scheme were carried out In a little different way we could go still further and have a laundress come In and do the table linen, which would take some more care off our shoulders." Mrs. l.ftmond explained that the waiters had been neatly attired in white aprons anj caps and said that altogether quite a homelike effect had been acompllshed. Some difficulty had been found In buying from one of tne butchers. One was willing to sell his meals at wholesale, but the other refused to do so, arguing that the peo ple who had gone Into the project would have been good customers at retail prices If they had not con ceived this notion, and that they must continue to pay accordingly.

Visitors to Stratford on-Aron com I lain that small boys run after them, calling "All about Shakespeare for a ha'penny." The wife of a potter named Braemer, In Velten, has died through kissing her dead child. She contracted blood poisoning, which proved ratal. The hominy-pounder was the first attempt at a corn-mill in the United States; but the first water-mill was made In Virginia in 1621 by George SanJys, an English poet. The first turkies which are natives of America were seen In South Am erica in 1523, by a Spanish explorer. In 1608 the settlers in Virginia sent 20 to England the first sent from the country included in the United States. ,The largest tree in the world is said to bave recently been discovered in Africa In the region of the Upper Nyanza. Its height Is said to be half egain that of the tallest trees In Cal ifornia, and Its thickness double t'.iat of the largest giant redwoods. The particulars are, however, suspiciously vague. Dogs have a great history. They did not spring from the wolf as pop ularly believed, but from species of wild dogs, which still exist In some countries. They have been wor shipped by the ancient Egyptians; Queen Elizabeth had 800 trained blood-hounds to fight the Scotch; Alexander built a city in honor of a favorite dog; and In England dogs used to be fattened and driven to market for table use like our hogs. An extraordinary scene was witness ed at the corner of the Rue des Math tiring in Paris recently. A man In his ttalrt sleeves was seen holding a string, the end of which was down a sewer grating. A hook was attached baited with meat. An enormous crowd gathered, and the man caught 14 rati in 25 minutes. He was liter ally fishing for them. The police In terfered, and the man, with two bas ketfuls of rats, was taken to the po lice Btatlon. He explained that he was catching the rats for a rat-killing contest for dogs, and was released. Man has not a monopoly of cough ing. Before there was a vertebrate on the earth, while man was In pro cess of evolution through the vegeta ble world, Etada Tussien that is what the botanists call him, while we know him as "the coughing bean" coughed, and blew dust out of Ms lungs. Recently botanists have been giving special attention to this bean, and tell Interesting things about it. It is a native of warm and moist trop ical countries, and objects most em phatically to dust. When dust set ties on the breathing pores in the leaves of the plant and chokes them a gas accumulates inside, and when it gains sufficient pressure there comes an explosion with a sound exactly like coughing, and the dust lr blown from its lodgment. And; more strange still, the plant gets red in the face through the effort. School for Railroading-, One of the great western railroads haa in force a system ot education for the trainmen which rests upon a more scientific basis than haa, until recently, been recognized aa needful. The fundamental principle Ilea in what the mental scientists term reflex action, or subconscious control. The brain may be taught to act according to the signals of the various senses without conscious thought. The first step is the complete training of the trainmen to their duties, so they re spond on the Instant, almost involun tarily, to any emergency. In the life ot the railroader there la no time for thought or reasoning. He must act instantly. It the engine driver Is called upon to save a train from wreck he will be the more like ly to succeed If bis brain bas been so trained to act not in response to bis will, but to habit Certain circum ctancea will call forth certain actions, regardless of hla own volition, so the man U put through a regular course ot practical railroading before be is employed at all. The applicant for a position must not only be able to answer the ques, tlons at an examination be must give hla replies without hesitation or he Is rejected. The habit of quick action must be strong upon him. Ing experience and cloae observa tion have demonstrated that moat men after the age ot 80 or 85 are not capa ble ot acquiring thla'bablt The fu ture trainman must begin young. 8o, In thla, as In other branches ot lean)' tag, tit yupUa are youthful.

And Tabby trotted out of the closet; she thought that meant dinner. i "Bring out your new kitty to show Jamie," said the little boy, stroking her soft ceat Tabby purred and rubbed against Roy s knee. Then she trotted Into tho clcset again and car ried out a llttlj bundlo of fur and laid !t at Roy's feet Jamie smiled and stretched out his hands for It "Isn't It pltty?" he said. " 'Ittle malty kitty wlv a white neck tie!" Roy carefully placed thu kitten In Jamie's arms. "You but It's a beau ty. Ain't got Its eyes open yet. You see," he added, 'vlpoly, "It only came yesterday, that's why It's so little." Tabby was silt Ins on a chair watch lng the proceedings anxiously. Now she laid one paw on Jamie's arm, but the little fellow didn't seem to notice It ' He lifted the kitten and pressed it against his cheok. How soft and warm it was! "There was three kittens," Roy went on, "only Bridget drowned the other two, 'cause she don't like cats. I just saved this one, and I think it's the prettiest of all. Tabby's awfully jeal ous of everbody that touches It, ain't you, pussy?" Tabby answered with a loud "mia ow!" She lum ped up her back and waved her tail angrily and stuck out her clnwa and raid as plainly as she could, "Give me my baby or I'll acratch yon." "Better put It down." said Roy, so Jnmle placed the kittle carofvilly on the floor with one last loving pat. Tabby Jumped down and almost pounc ing on ber baby, trotted off with It to the closet "Wish vat kittle was mine," sighed Jamie. He did so love pussies. "Well, I tell you, we'll go halves on It," said Roy. "And when It gets really big and Tabby can spare It maybe I'll give you my part, 'cause two cats ia an awful lot, 'specially when Bridget don't like 'em 'round." And Jamie was happy. Brooklyn Eagle. The Muikral Talk. A boy who often used a path along the banks of a river caught sight one afternoon of a muskrat on the bank of the stream. He waa looking around for a club or a stone to throw at the animal, when the muBkrat said: "It would be no use for you to throw at mo, as 1 would be under water as soon as you raUed your arm. You would better come here and have a talk. A boy of your age should know all about the animals to be found around his home. I suppose you have seen a muskrat before?" "Lota of times,." replied the boy, "And why do they call ua musk rats?',' "I dont know." "Your teacher in school probably could have told you. It ia because we carry a little bag of musk with us. Whenever you smell the perfume you may remember that it comes from us. One drop of musk will scent your clothes for a year. It la not much used in America, but in Europe, especially In the oldeu times, it was a favorite perfume. Kings ured to uso so much away, and very often It vos sprinkled ot It that you could smell them rods over the motar and plastered upon the walls of churches. Did you ever ask anybody how 1 lived?' "Yon must, live like the woodchuck," replied the boy. "Not at all, young man. Tho wood chuck has a burrow In a bank, and al ways seeks dry ground, while I have a house in a swamp or mareh, rnd spend much of my time In the water. When I do not build a house I make my home Jn a hole in the bank. Let me tell you that I can swim almcst as fast aa a fish, though I can't stay under water moro than eight or ten minutes at a time. Had I been afraid of you I should have made a dive and swam clear across the river before coming up to breathe." "I should think you would get water In your ears." "Do you know why I don't" It Is be cause nature has provided me with lit tle valves in my ears to shut the water out If you dive you get water In your ears, and there is a roaring in your head, but nothing of that sort happens to me. I can hear under water almost aa well aa when I am on the land. It you open your eyea under water they ache, but mine do not; no matter how muddy the stream Is, my eyea never get sore. I am like a fish about that" "What do you eat?" asked the boy. "Grasses, roots and barks mostly, but sometimes I nibble at apples and vegetablas. I can always find plenty to eat, winter or summer, and I never lave to go far from the water. I seo you are looking for a bole in the bank but you won't find one. I dig into the bank below the surface of tha river so that no ono may know where I live. II can dig Uke a woodchuck and my kwrow la sometimes ten feet long. The chamber at the end ot it Is above water so that I have a dry bed when I want to sleep. Sometimes the river rises and drives me out; but in such cases I make my bed In the coarse grasses along the edges. Didn't you ever see a musk rat's bougj In a swamp?" "No, I never did." "Well, we build a house almost like the beaver, except that we tite grasses instead of sticks and limbs. We plaster the root with mud, and we have two and three rooms lnsldo, and we always enter and leave thrm from below. I have been In a house when the hunters tame out on the Ice and broke their way through tho top and I waa swim ming away at the first alarm. The only way to catch us Is to set steel traps for us at the mouth of our bur tows. We are rot as cute as the mink or beaver, though some of us die of old age and never get a foot Into a trap." "I have seen caps and capos and muffs and gloves made of muskrat fur," cold the boy. "Of course you have," said the musk rat, "and let me tell you that the furriers dye our skins and sell them for what they are not Some of the capes called Amrtlc an seal are nothing but American muskrat. However, there is a big demand for our fur for what it Is, and men hunt us so closely that In a few years more there will bo none left" "When a mtmktat Is gaught in a trap what does he do?" "He makes a great struggle, of course, and does his best to pull his foot out Sometimes he gnaws his leg off, the same as a beaver, but If tho trap Is under water he generally drowns before anything can be done. I once caught the end of my tall In a trap and lost t.w Inches of It In get ttay and lost two Inches of It In get ting away, but It grew out again after a while. Had ii.y leg been caught I should not have had the pleasure of this talk wkth you. I"m going now, and you can remember what I've told you and relate It to the ol'ier pupils In your school." San Francisco Chron icle. A "Mtaht-Hava-tteen" Quarrel. Jennie Andrews and Alice Smtthers have lived next door to each other ever since tbey can remember, and both of them are "uaif-past eleven," as they say. And never yet have they had a real quarrel, although last week but Just listen carefully. And never, never be so careless or so positive yourselves. Jennie is learning to embroider, and Alice does basket-work with raffia and canes and such things. One day last week they sat out on the shady place between the two houses together, and they had a lovely time making presents for the L'chooln-.ate who is to have a birthday party very soon. Then tbts very little girl came over to seen them, and the girls, seeing her coming, tuck ed their work away under the edges ot the two porches. They were hunt ing four leaved clovers, as innocent nnd unconscious looking as you please, when she sat down on the grass very near. Then they had another lovely time, and neither thought of tho work again until late the next evening. Jennie, when she remembered, ran over to see Alice about it, and met Alice coming over to talk tp her. Each had looked In every place the could think of, but neither could find what she sought "You must have taken my work in with yours," thny said, simultaneously, stopping half way. "I just know I haven't seen yours; so you must have had mine!" waa tha next simultaneous statement "I think you're just too mean for anything. There, now!" This wag what the respective moth era beard after a few moments. Then the two women advanced from the op posite front porcheB, and stood look ing down at the two girls. And each held In her hand a little package of work. "I found this under the edge of the porch last evening, and laid it up here on the porch table. Is it yours, Jen nie?" This from Mrs. Andrews. "I far.cy this belongs to you, Alice," came the gentle voice of Mrs. Smith ers. "Fldo (the pet dog owned in com mon by the two girls) brought it over to me this morning when I was look ing after the flowers. I don't know where the raffia Is. This was all be brought to me." Down to tho edge of tne porch stoop ed Alice, very red of chock and down cast of eye, and drew out ite forgot ten bunch of matcrinl. Down to the edge of the other porch stooped Jennie, also very red and shamefaced, and drew out the little case of embroidery, silks she, too, had forgotten. Then, very quietly, the two girls looked at each other, smiled apologeti cally, and slipped away from the smil ing gaze ot their mothers. And the "might-have-been" qn-jrel didn't come to pass, fortunately, after all. Chicago Reeord-nerald. Klnc Dagolwrl' Throne. Much has h"en written about the an ttqult of the throne on which King Ed ward of England was crowned, but, as French journalists are now taking pains to point out, it Is not nearly as old as the throne ot King Dagobert, which ia still religiously preserved at the National Library in Paris. Ac cording to the best authorities, thla throne dates back to tha aoventh cen tury, and consequently it is many years older than the throne of Edward the Confessor. Moreover, thore la a pop ular tradition that it was fashioned by a saint who possessed much skill in carving and engraving. However this may.be, the French are very proud of the ancient relic.

A woman who had the misfortune to disfigure the front of a handsome walking skirt with Ink succeeded In removing tho discoloration entirely. Sho sponged the blemishes without delay In cold water.

As soon as the skirt was dry she continued the treatment with a soft cloth and gasoline until the Ink and milk were both gone. Hint Abont Halrbraahe. A specialist says that hairbrushes should be washed oneo a week, and If used on hair In which there Is much dandruff twice a week Is not too often. The brushes should bo wished In cold not hot water to which cloudy ammon ia has been added In the proportion of a scant tablespoonful to a quart of water. Care should be taken not to wet the backs of the brushes, and when washed and rinsed a good way to rinse them properly Is to use a shower spray on them they should be put on edge In the air to dry. - Dress ing combs, too, should be frequently cleaned, a comb cleaner being used for the purpose. Old Candleatlek Blah. With the increasing demand for an tiques the supply of mementos and rel ics of past generations is becoming exhausted, and the prices of genuine pieces are waxing higher and higher. Old candlesticks, for example, 'that have bad such continuous popularity are scarce, and good specimens sell for almost any price that the dealer feels disposed to charge. To tell old brass, copper or pewter from the modem imitation requires long experience and a trained eye. Brass varies much In color. Its ahad depending upon the proportion of cop per and zinc used In Its composition, and also on the hue of the copper em ployed. Copper Itself assumes a va riety of complexions. The old Span ish and Russian copper and braes' are both peculiarly rich In color and retain their polish longer than others. In the old pieces there Is a sllklness of texture not found In the sorts made now. Tbts Is partly due. It is said, to the natural wear ot the utensils. In some cases, such as pots, kettles and fireboxes, the action of heat may be responsible, In part at least, for this quality. Colonial furnishings are the kinds most eagerly sought by col lectors. -.- e English Broad Pudding Crumb enough stale bread to make one pint of crumbs; grease small custard cups fill two-thirds with tho crumbs; sprln kle over a little chopped candled fruit; beat two eggs; add two tablespoon fuls of sugar and ono and a half cup- tuls of milk; mix thoroughly, and pour over the crumbs; stand the cups in a pan of boiling water and bake in a moderately quick oven fifteen mln utes.
