How many golden hours are
spent with the wife who is a treas

Don’t relieve your mind of
troubles merely to burden someone
else’s. _
It’s wise to be decent. Even
the most obscure are sometimes

A husband is suing for a divorce
because his wife spanked him ev
ery night. He now proposes to let
her paddle her own canoe.
There’s some satisfaction in con
templating airships as the mode of
travel for the future. Pedestrians
won’t have to dodge them.
Many a girl who has had a for
tune spent on- her musical educa
tion is now too busy with her home
duties to play an instrument if she
h id it, and can't even preserve
harmony in the household.
If it were possible for those
about us to read our minds, there
would be either a lot of unhappy

lot of things that never should be
thought any way.
OUR INDIVIDUAL DITY.
The point has been reached
where war is waged literally by
whole nations. Every man. wom
an and child is involved and nearly
ev ery adult and most boys and girls
can be efficient factors. We are in
this war for ihe purpose of defend
ing our rights, of making sure that,
as a nation, we shall be able to live
the sort of life and have the sort of
institutions we desire, of making
democracy persist in the world,
and of safeguarding the world
n unstthe recurrence of such a
war as this. To accomplish this,
the nation must aim at the perfec
tion of organization, and therefore
: ach individual must recognize the
n cessity of making sacrifices for
the common good and more than
tvt r of working under limitatons—
<‘f doing team work. Our people
have a genius for organization, and
they will not fail in the task they
have assumed. Our farmers, on
whom a great responsibility rests,
a! i the most efficient farmers in
the world when they do their best.
They will not be found wanting in
tihs crisis.—D. F. Houston, Secre
tary of Agriculture.

Mealle Staple Food In Africa.
Among the Zulus, the most highly
developed native race In South Af
rica, the mealle Is the staple article
of food. It Is ulso the staple article
of food among the less advanced
Hottentots. Even the dwarfs, or
Bushmen— the most backward people
of Africa, and probably of the world—
cultivate the mealle. Its cultivation
is introducing habits of Industry
among a race that is vanishing. It
may give the Bushman his reprieve
from the doom of extinction.
Gold Leaf.
There appears to be some mystery
about the origin of gold leaf. It is
found, for example, in connection
with the most ancient known mum
mies, having been us*d for covering
teeth, tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes it
is also found on the coffins. Gold leaf
was also used on the tombs arid monu
ments of ancient Egypt. The process
of making gold leaf has thus been
known since the eighth century, 15. 0.
In the eleventh century it seems to
have attained us high a degree of per
fection as today. The gold leaf on
some ancient Grecian pottery, indeed,
Is us thin as that now used.

Marrying Against Wishes of Family
By Laura Jean Libbey
An o!rt farmhouse with meadows wide,
1 Sweet with clover on either side;
A blight-eyed youth, who looks from out
I The door with woodbine wreathed with
out,
Wished this one thought all the day:
"Oh, if I could but fly away
From tills dull spot the world to see,
How happy I would be.”
What youth of one and twenty and
maid of sweet sixteen if they happened
to become enamored of one another
1 would not tell you that there is just
one person in the world for them, and
each has met that one? It is all in
vain for relatives or friends to attempt
to dissuade them from their feeling.
The young man declares he will leave
home and all belonging to him and go
•out into the world to earn fame and
fortune for the girl he has chosen.
The maid declares that if she cannot
wed the hero of her heart she will
never, never marry. Though her lips
may not complain her sad eyes will
be a reproach to those who have sep
arated her from her love for all time
to come.
| flow the parents are to deal with
such a determined young couple is a
problem. The youth’s parents know
that it is his nnture to fall quickly in
love, and as quickly climb out of it.
The girl’s parents realize that the kind
of man who fills her fancy at sixteen
she would possibly be heartily tired of
at two and twenty.
; They met at a ball. The girl in her
tulle party dress, white gloves, white
Everything in Russia Is
New Since the Revolution;
Even Smile Is Different
Everything is new in Russia. As
one correspondent sees it, and Petro
grad in particular, he declnres that
even the sndle is different. It is with-1
out sickness or- hypocrisy. The Indies |
are wearing revolution-color skirts,
red feathers in their hats.
The Nevsky prospect has become a
kind of Quartier Latin. Book hawkers
line the pavement and cry sensational
pamphlets about Rasputin and Nich
olas, nnd who is Lenine, and how
much land will the peasants get. Re
turned exiles flit through the crowd,
recognizable by the Rue Bertolet cut
of their clothes and their hair.
Even that ancient institution, the
five-o’clock procession of Chlnovniks
going home from government offices,
has lost its typical coloring. One
misses at first the staid, familiar fig
ures, till one suddenly realizes that
those rather long-haired young men,
swinging or slithering along with port
folios under their arms, must, of
course, be the new Chinovniks.
Newsboys used to carry papers in a
bag. Now there are so many papers
and such a demand for them that the
hawkers have had to improvise stalls
at the street corners, and (the may
pause there and watch the play of po
litical sympathies and antipathies us
the hard-faced young workman buys
the Maximalist Pravda, or the dreamy
student buys the Radical Den, or some
stout elderly gentleman buys the
Novoe Vremya with a melancholy air
of resignation.
Around the World.
Iceland has no saloons. :£ |
Ohio has 135,000 war gardens. ,
Britain has 7,000,0000 house
cats. .
JCngland has tea put up In g

Seagoing Mowing Machine.
California now has a seugolng mow
ing machine. It is in use off the coast
ns a part of the government experi
ments to obtain potash from kelp. The
curious craft has blades at the bow
that cut the kelp from three to six feet
below the surface of the water. A
belt brings the severed kelp aboard,
where other knives cut it up and other
belts distribute it in the hold. The
vessel harvests about two hundred
tons a day, which when dried is re
duced to 20 tons; that. In turn, yields
about five tons of potash. The rise in
the price of potash from $40 a ton to
ten or more times that sum gives a
new value to kelp, which grows in vir
tually unlimited quantities along our
shores. Farmers have long used the
kelp itself as a fertilizer.—Youth’s
Companion.
Trees Contribute to War.
In the manufacture of gunpowder
large quantities of charcoal are used,
i but this grade is made from hard
woods only. Wood alcohol is used in
the manufacture of smokeless powder,
I guncotton, and also In hospital sup
plies. Acetic add, or wood vinegar, is
, used in making cordite and liddite,
j two high power explosives, and more
] indirectly trees contribute heavily to
warfare.
i slippers and pink roses, looked very
alluring. He lias taken her home from
dances, perhaps a half-dozen times and
at the end of that time proposed mar
riage. Neither had peeped beyond the
first chapter of the book of life. Their
entire conversation had been about
other girls and boys—what a Jolly good
time they had had at the skating rink
or barn dance. Yet these two kldlings
considered themselves in love and had
the notion that they ought to wed.
The boy’s father does his best to
have a serious talk with his sou, en
deavoring to make him understand
I thnt married life is something more
than continuous love-making; that it
entails obligations, such as winning
the support of two, to start with; that
a pretty sweetheart transferred to the
kitchenette is not always the amiable
companion a youth fondly believes
she would be.
The girl’s parents do their best to
make her understand that a young man
should have at least a start In life be
fore he essays matrimony; that all
love-making, no work, would put out
the kitchen fire. If, despite earnest
parental advice on both sides, the
young people take their own heads
and marry, they have only themselves
to blame for much of the trlbulutions
that may follow. Parents on both
sides should be eager for the match,
then it will turn out happily.

The woman of moderate means, who
markets in person, with a basket on

Some Cornmeal Dishes.
The rniny consistency of cornmeal is
an advantage when used in griddle
cakes or waffles, for it renders them
very tender.
Cornmeal Pancakes.
Take two cupfuls of flour sifted
with a teaspoonful and a half of bak
ing powder, with the same amount of
salt. Add a cupful and a half of boil
ing water to a half-cupful of cornmeal,
cook five minutes, turn into a bowl and
add one and a fourth cupfuls of milk,
one beaten egg, a third of a cupful of
sugar and the flour mixture. Stir well,
then add two tablespoonfuls of melted
shortening. Cook on a greased griddle.
Mush that has been molded makes a
delicious breakfast dish, by frying the
slices in a little hot fut.
Cornmeal and Wheat Waffles.
Cook a half cupful of cornmeal,
added very gradually to a cupful and
a half of boiling water, for 20 minutes,
then add a cupful and n half of milk,
three cupfuls of flour, three tablespoon
fuls of sugar, 1*4 tablespoonfuls of
baking powder, 1V& teaspoonfuls of
salt, the yolks and whites of t*/o eggs
beaten separately. When all is well
mixed, add two tahlespoonfuls of melt
ed shortening, just before adding the
stiffly beaten whites.
Indian Pudding.
Cook five cupfuls of milk nnd a third
of n cupful of cornmeal in a double
boiler, a half cupful of molasses, a tea
spoonful each of salt and ginger. Mix
i all together and pour Into a buttered
baking dish and bake two hours In a
slow oven; serve with cream.
Cornmeal Doughnuts.
Put three-fourths of a cupful of milk
nnd 1V& cupfuls of cornmeal Into n
double boiler and heat together ten
minutes. Add three-fourths of a cup
ful of sugar and a fourth of a cupful
of shortening. Sift together 1 *4 cup
fuls of wheat flour with n teaspoonful
of cinnamon and two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, add these and two
well-beaten eggs to the meal. / ltoll out
on a well-floured board, cut nud fry In
hot deep fat.
Serenity in Thick of Broil.
The environment of the commander
In chief, Sir Douglas llaig, is strongly
suggestive of his conduct of the war.
Before war became a thing of precise
science the headquarters of an army
head seethed with all the picturesque
details so common to pictures of mar
tial life. Couriers mounted on foam
flecked horses dashed to und fro; the
air was vibrant with action; the fate
of battle showed on the face of the
humblest orderly. But today things
are totully different. Although army
units have risen from thousands to mil
lions of men, und fields of operations
stretch from sea to sea, and more am
munition Is expended in a single en
gagement than was employed In entire
wars of other days, absolute serenity
prevails. It Is only when your imagina
tion conjures up the. picture of flame
and fury that lies beyond the horizon
line that you get a thrill.—Isuae F.
i Marcosson in Everybody's.
