Reading Aland.
( Reading aloud Is something at which
'mother and children should take turn
'about, doing It as n "favor" to each
i-other. Older stories In which the child
Irannot master the difficulties of the
'printed page should be chosen by the
'mother, and they will take just as
jrendily to the little book friends known
by tho older world as the reading bill
jot fare in whleh they are fed entirely
'in tho little nonentities of their own
jliooks. A girl of ten whose mother
Jias been reading "Great Expeeta
tlons" aloud to her and Jier brother
couldn't get over her delight that the
visitor who onme knew rip and Kstella
and acknowledged them as special
friends of her own. Of course, a little
Judicious skipping here and there was
indulged in. but it was soon found that
vivid imaginations supplied details
even when the words wore inadequate.
It is at this stage of the imagination
when the happy habit of making book
companions ns real as those of daily
.life can be learned; and while it is
important to select those which, are
"right and proper" for little folks to
know,, it is still more so to choose those
.which are not colorless.
The more childish story book of his
own also contains the little acquaint
nnccs which the child himself picks
out as favorites, and which he loves
for a short time. The earlier he can
be taught to master the difficulties of
the page enough to read them aloud,
the better, as if it is something he is
teiwsted in he can be taught to read
It ns simply and naturally as he speaks.
This is harder after he has been to
school or has heard a "reading lesson,"
for then he will have acquired artifi
cial intonation and the strained voice
mid unnatural pitch which brings his
paternal listeners to coufusion and a
state of chills.
A natural and spontaneous way of
rending is one of the prettiest accom
plishments that can be had, and it can
be taught as easily as spontaneous
speaking if affected ways are not al
lowed to creep In. One mother whose
little folks went to school were always
sent home before the reading class.
They did this lesson at home, and were
never allowed a chance to imitate the
class reading of the other children.
Plaves of Matrimony
One must admit at the outset that
the American husband often puts his
own nose to the grindstone through a
blindly misplaced generosity. We have
no marriage settlements, yet the Amer
ican "bridegroom's version of "with all
my worldy goods I thee endow" Is
often "Dearest, you may have all my
salary. Here in New York seven in
stances have recently been brought to
my notice in which the husband hands
over to his wife his entire stipulated
income, an average salary of $3000 a
year.
In three of these cases the wives al
low their respective husbands enough
for a new suit of clothes each year and
for carfare and a twenty-flve-eent
luncheon each day. Clothing in excess
of one suit per year and any extra
expenses incurred must be paid for by
extra money made. Alt three meet
these demands by night work; one of
them manages, in addition, to carry
$5000 worth of life insurance. In a
sixth case the husband must not only
"find" all his clothes, his carfare and
luncheons, but the wherewithal to pay
various and sundry bills that exceed
Ids wife's "allowanee." In no one of
these cases does the wife save a penny
for any emergency whatsoever. In
two families there is a child each to be
provided for; lu four the wife alone is
considered.
Now, in a seventh case the wife,
after providing for herself, two chil
dren and her household, places to her
liusbnnd's bank account enough to pay
for all his clothing, carfare, luncheons,
club dues and: payment on $S000 life
insurance. Man number seven also
works at night when ho feels disposed.
As "by-products" he has published two
successful books, the proceeds from
which nre never touched. That sum,
the wife will proudly tell you, Is In
vested for "a home of our own by and
bv mid for a college education for the
children." . '
This last case, you may say, is not a
grindstone case. It is cited here to
show that the abuse of generosity in
the other cases is not unavoidable.
When sir women tell you with tears,
"I cun't live on my allowance," not
knowing tlie amount of the allowance
und conscious only of the tears, you
are very apt to jump to the conclusion
that there nre six stingy, brutal hus
bands cumbering the earth. If the
seventh woman did not stop in to tell
how gladly and proudly she has
ulanned "skimped and saved," the
others call it to live on a like "allow
aiice." yon might fcsagine that it is im
possible to live in New York on $.i000
a lyear. me geveuiu nuuiuu. uiure-

Woman' ftreatett Task
"The man, woman or child who will
Instruct womankind how to put on a
pair of rubbers and retain, at the
same time, a semblance of dignity. Is
deserving of a monument," sultl the
strictly modern girl ns she struggled
with a pair of storm rubbers. "We
are told how to wall; like fairies or
queeus; bow to sit down like a dream
aud rise like a swan; bow to cat and
how to sleep prettily, but never a word
do we hear about putting on our rub
bers. If there Is any ordinary task
more trying to n woman, I don't know
what it is. I have tried all sorts of
ways, but I nlways make n spectacle
of myself and I never saw the womau
who didn't. My skirts Hop up dis
gracefully, or I get red In the face, or
I make a conspicuous noise stamping.
"I llnd the easiest way is to place
my foot on a chair, but this is not
convenient or proper In public places.
Sometimes when no one is looking I
swing my foot up sideways nt an angle
of forty-five degrees with my body, and
sometimes I can manage that stunt
even in the theatre; but I know it
anybody saw me they'd think I was
a contortionist. Then I've tried stand
ing on one foot mid slipping my rub
bers on, but I Invariably lose my bal
ance and teeter around disgracefully.
"Of course, I ran sit down and pull
them on; but that makes my face
grow red almost unto purple, and no
woman likes to make n guy of herself.
Resides, I get so dizzy standing on
my head like that that my skirt gets'
tucked down into my rubbers aud I
am all Augers and thumbs."
Nlncty-eeven Year Old
Xoarly ninety-sevon years old and
able to write an eight-page letter to a
friend in Boston without an error Is a
condition to which few people would
ever dream of aspiring, but such is the
remarkable ability of Mrs. Abbie J.
Stone, of New Britain, Conn.
Mrs. Stone is ninety-seven years old,
and is already planning how to cele
brate the event. She is believed to be
the oldest person In New Britain, now
that "Grandma" Russette is dead.
Mrs. Emeline Eno Russette, who died
a few months ago, lived to be a little
over ninety-nine years old. Mrs. Stono
lives with her son, Dr. K. Tj. Styles, of
Court street, where everything is doue
to make her comfortable.
She wrote the letter referred to a few
days ago, and handed it over to the
doctor to look at. She said she was
not ns young as she used to be and
asked him to look through it to see if
it was all right. There were eight
pages written in a tine hand, and he
found the wording, spelling and punc
tuation correct. When Rev. I.. S. John
son came in to call a little later, the
doctor handed him the letter, and said.
"I will give you $.10 for every mistake
you can find in it." Rev. Mr. Johnson
took it and went through it carefully,
but he failed to earn the 30 for the
first mistake. Mrs. Stone is a well
read woman nnd she can converse in
telligently on most any topic. Her
mind is as clear as a bell, and she likes
to laugh and joke with the rest of the
family. She enjoys excellent health,
and her only physical impairment
seems to be a slight deafness. She
reads fine print with the aid of her
glasses, and she peruses the news
papers closely.
She is as young In heart as any one
in the family. She likes to read the
Bible, and is greatly pleased when she
receives visits from Rev. L. S. John
son, who calls occasionally. One of
her chief diversions Inst winter was to
feed the sparrows through the window
of her room. No matter how cold the
morning, she would reach out through
the snow on the sill and watch the
birds come. They became quite tame,
and she enjoyed their company. She is
a great hand nt needle work, nnd al
most every member of the family has
some of her handiwork. Last year, on
her birthday, she made a birthday
cake, nnd many of her friends called
to congratulate her. Her celebratiou
this time will be much the same.
Mrs. Stone was born in Danville, Vt.
She was twice married. She has six
sons, Dr. E. L. Styles ,of New Brltaiu;
William Styles, of . Glover, Vt.; Dr.
Charles Styles, of Boston; Dr. M. P.
Styles, of Westboro, ' Mass.; James
Styles, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., and Mark
P. Styles, of Iioxbury, Mass., nnd a
daughter, Mrs. Amelia P. Rowell. She
has twenty-five grandchildren, twenty
six great-grandchildren and three
great-great-grandchildren.
Make Salt From the Ocean.
ATI the salt produced in California Is
obtained by evaporation from ocean
water, there being out few salt spring
or wells. Probably not less than twenty-five
large salt plants are in opera

Francisco Bay. It is estimated thai
the total output of salt per year in Al
ameda County alone reaches 100.0OC
tons, while not less than 50,000 tons'
nre annually produced in other part?
of the State. The salt produced from

Jury Paid the Fine.
A Texas correspondent tells how nn
obstinate jurymnn was circumvented
by his fellow judges of the facts. Tho
offense charged was assault with in
tent to murder. After the Jury had
been out about two hours it returned
the following verdict: "Wc, the Jury,
find the defendant guilty of aggravat
ed assault, nnd assess his punishment
at $25 fine and herewith pay the fine."
On Inquiry as to the meaning of the
last clause of the verdict it came out
that 11 of the Jurors had agreed that
the defendant was not guilty, but the
twelfth doggedly hung out for a con
viction for aggravated assault nnd
would not consent to a punishment
less than a fine of $23. Finding It
a hopeless tan to bring over the ob
stinate one to their way of thinking,
the eleven finally decided to agree with
him nnd "chipped in" enough to pay
the fine. Law Notes.

A frank public discussion of the sub

A number of coffee importers nnd
ronsfcrs hnve joined a movement to
boom coffee and slop the use of Pos

paper statements undertake to deceive
by false assertions.
Their first is that coffee Is not harm

coffee users has some form of incipient

ment what a terrible menace to a na
tion of civilized people, when one kind
of beverage cripples the energies and

We mnke the assertion advisedly and
suggest that the reader secure his own
proof by personal inquiry aruorg coffee

Ask your coffee drinking friends if
they keep free from any sort of aches

height, and since the beginning wild
ducks have played the game of the
moth and flame, much to their sor
row and distress. No sooner does a
duck fly across the forbidden territory
than it is caught and baked by the
torrid winds. The neighbors have
caught onto the fact and near meal

for the fall of the baked duck, which,
