BETTER THAN TABLE CANDLES.
New Electrical Device for Utility and
Decoration Without Wires for
Dining Room Use.
Every woman has realized for some
time past that the use of the candle
as a table decoration was attended by
danger and other sboruomlngs and a
substitute has been eagerly soughL
The solution of the prohlom has not
been found In electricity, for the rea
son that lamps of this character lack
ed the feature of portability and their
use also required the presence of
wires piercing the cloths and tables.
A New York man has recently de
stined a piece of table decoration
which- takes the place of the candles
on the dining room table In the home
as well as the hotel and cafe.
The device is a pretty design em
bracing a silver receptacle capable of
holding a single-storage cell. The bat

A LITTLE TALK TO GIRL8.
Qualify Yourselves to Diffuse Inspira
tion, the Thing Our World Needs Most.
As you come to full growth and get
out of school, of course, being Ameri
can girls, you want, properly enough,
and attain, more freedom of action.
Gradually from telling you what to do
your parents advise you what to do,
aud presently you consider whether
you will take their advice or not. and
If you don't want to. It will be hard
to make you. And as the years go on
you return their kindness probably, by
advising them, and in time they get
to rely a great deal on yojr counsel.
Well, so much of freedom as con
sists In Ignoring your parents' advice
when you don't like it will come to
you pretty soon, but as their control
of you diminishes you will find It neces
sary to substitute for it control of an
other sort. If you don't, you will have
a hard time. Of a girl who got nervous
prostration and went to a sanitarium
to rest one said the other night: "Oh
yes; that's not surprising. She was
the girl who said she never did any
thing she didn't want to.' You see,
there is no tyrant so despotic as an
undisciplined mind that resists direc
tion and Is still unqualified for self-direction.
The price of freedom Is et'b
lnlSBion to something. It may be some
thing within, but it must be something
that stands for duty.
And I do beseech and charge you
that as you look about for something
to take care of and thus fulfil your
destiny, you will take such charge as
you may of men In general, and especi
ally the young ones of your own gen
eration, and try. In so far as you can.
to make something of them that will
be an advantage to the country and
to the human race. You cannot make
a good world without good men. Do
try to make something of these young
onea that you will find floating about.
It will be good practice for you In the
most important duty that falls to
women. Don't compete with them In
their employments unless you have
to. AH the college presidents wall
over the young men because they
can't get enough of them Interested In
knowledge. If you have some knowl
edge, feed out a little to them, sugar
coated, and if they have any. get It
out of them. Moot of the Inspirations
that men get, they get from women.
Do qualify yourselves to diffuse in
spiration. It Is the thing our wo-U
needs the most. Material things im
mensely abound, mems can be got for
anything that deserves the, but the
fire that touches the spirits of men Is
somewhat to seek. Money's a-plenty;
bricks, stone, food, books, end all that,
but Inspiration Is scarce. Have It to
give if you can. E. 8. Martin, In Har
per's Baxar.
Salt and Soup.
Never put salt into soup when cook
las until It Is skimmed, as salt pre
terits the scum from rising.
If too much salt haa been added to
soup slice a raw potato and boil It In
the soup for a few mlnutea. The pota
to will absorb much of the salt.
Foolish to Worry.
"Oh, dear," ahe aiiid after the musl
cale, "I'm so mortified that I don't
know what to do! I can't Imagine
what caused a.y voke to break as It
did. It never happened before. What
must Mrs. Waddington's guests think
of me? How can I ever explain It?"
"Don't mention It," her friend ad
vised. "They were all so busy talking
while you sang that ptobkbiy nobody
notice It."

agiin disturbed the stillness as Silas
en eraed from the shadowy recesses of

"Horace!" he advanced with
alacrity, extending a callous, toll

a vliaracter'Ktic gesture when he was
troubled or in deep thougul.
"You niean the 'East lot,' Horace?"
"I mean that and all the other. You
ui ierttand they'll take it all every

"Thire trees are ban'eom' an'som

"I dare say, but," sarcastically, "do

Believe me. Sil. It's a snap. This
lumber business Is a side Issue with
me, but I'm in a position to give you

It's like finding money, only better:

"I know. Horace, I know; but you

"Suit yourself. Sll. I can't stop to

It's mighty disgusting to a man to
h-.ve his brother drudging away on an

the world and live if he would only
u ahe up his mind to do so. I say,
E l, I'll keep the offer open till to-morrow
night. Think It over. You may
c!;3nge your mind."
S113S did think It over, lie looked
at it from every point of view his
l:u!g'natlon could call to mind, and
f natly. as was always the case, he re
ft rred It to Martha.
"Yer could go anywhere yer want

"I don't know as I want to go any

Silas didn't stroke his chin; In

MISatURI-B BEST COW.
Princess Csriotta Alcns Could Supply

Princess Carlotta. a Holsteln cost
In the dairy berd of the Missouri Col- I
lege of Agriculture, gives more milk
thtn any other cow In Missouri. In
the last year she gave 18.406 pounds
of milk, or 1,300 gallons. From this
727 pounds of butter were made.
'"This cow shows the advantage of
using good stock In a dairy." C H.
Ecklea, professor of dairy husbandry
at the Vnlversity of Missouri, said.
"At the present price of milk In Co
lumbia, T 1-2 cents a quart, she would
have brought her owner 690 for this
year. -A cow with a record like that
Is worth about $1,500. Her feed cost
$'), leaving a profit of 2410. This Is
more than 40 per cent, hiconie. look
ing at It as an Investment. Princess
Carlotta produced as much milk as
five ordinary farm cows The five
cots probably would co3t (200 to feed.
The same advantage Is gained as by
using an efficient machine Instead of
an ordinary one. The upkeep Is great
er, but the results are worth It.
A person's average dally consump
tion of milk Is one-third of a quart.
On thla basis Princess Carlotta could
bave supplied the milk tor a hotel with
eventy-five quests."
