“What are we going to have for dinner?” asked the hungry man who had Just eorne home. “That is the burning question,” replied his wife ns she sniffed suspiciously in the direction of the kitchen, where the cook was evidently overdoing the meat.

About Plows. Disk plows have in recent years come into use, writes C. W. Burkett in American Agriculturist I like them for the light types of soil when free from stones, gravel and roots and rather abundantly supplied with vegetable matter In sticky soils where the moldboard plow will not scour the disk is popular. In soils where the moldboard type works well there is little to gain by using the disk. The draft of the latter is often greater and the plow itself is clumsy. The disk is better for very dry land and often is the only means for plowing such.

THE VERY BEST.

Have any of our readers seen a recent copy of the Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer? If not, it will pay to send for a copy, if for no other purpose than to note its present great worth as an educator in all things that tend to make life prosperous, and home, the happiest place on earth. The editor by asking its readers to criticise and suggest improvements; and following advice thusobtained -is enabled to produce a paper that exactly fits needs of a family and a material aid to father, mother and children in reaching that higher level in social life, where content and comfort reigns supreme. Father obtains ample information that guides in the where, when and how to regulate and increase the income from his efforts. The mother in management of household affairs, practical economy, government of children, and other duties that makes her toil a labor of love. Children’s minds and hearts are freed from thoughts of questionable amusements and frivolities of life, and encouraged to emulate all that is helpful in planing for a useful future in life. The Grand Idea being that; ‘ 'As are our Homes, so will be the Community, State and Nation.” A most desirable help, is a nonsectarian sermon each week, as preached by that Biblical Student Pastor Chas. T. Russell; a forcible reminder of the spiritual and temporal rewards gained by righteous living as preferable to a Godless life that brings nought but misery to the home. Other departments and features are above the ordinary, the unanimous verdict of its readers being: “The cleanest and best family Weekly known to them.

HER REBEL HEART;

An Incident That Brought It Into Loving Submission. By ALEXANDRA DAGMAR. [Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.] Oh, I spoke once, and I grieved thee sore! I remember all that I said! —Jean Ingelow. “Oh, It’s you!” commented Reeda ungraciously. - She looked up from the basin of soapsuds on the dining room table. She was washing her great-grandmoth-er’s belleek—a task which she was averse to Intrusting to hands less careful than her own. Inwardly she was meditating the reprimand she would bestow upon Janet for permitting this particular visitor to enter unannounced. "You don’t appear overwhelmingly glad to see me!” returned Aubrey Bowden. ’ She sent him a swift glance—one of obvious annoyance. He was standing iq the doorway. Tall, athletic. In his leather coat, corduroy knickerbockers and high rubber boots, she was forced to admit that he made a gallant figure. But she dropped her eyes and went on with her task. Not so Aubrey Bowden. He kept his gaze fastened upon her—a gaze at once whimsical and adoring. Certainly she looked extremely pretty, her blue morning gown enveloped in a blue apron, her sleeves rolled up over the bewitching dimples in the elbows, a flicker of angry color showing through the fairness of her cheek. Bowden made a fresh conversational plunge. “I’m going down to the Kankakee marshes shooting," he said. “There are a lot of the fellows going—my cousin, Andrew, and some more. Reeda,” quizzically, as she still evinced no sign of Interest, “aren’t you going to wish me good sport? I came six blocks out of my way to tell you about it.” She found it hard to resist him when his voice had that husky note In it—

“GOODBY, DKA.K,” HE SAID BROKENLY. half teasing, half loving. But she hardened her heart and replied coldly: “Only this, Aubrey Bowden—that i don’t wish to know for the future where you go or what you do. After the outrageous way you acted Tuesday evening, going away and leaving mo glone for half an hour at the theater •while you flirted with that odious Bella Wier, I’ve decided that I do not wish you to call here any more!” The pale rose in her cheek had deepened to carnation. “Oh, I say, Reeda!” He laughed protestlngly and took a step forward. “You don’t mean that, you know! I was not gone more than ten minutes. I used to go to school with Bella Wier. And I hadn’t see her for more than a year.” “You may see her as often as you desire after this!” said Reeda significantly. There was no smile in the young fellow’s handsome eyes now. “Reeda,” he said quietly, ‘look at me!” He was beside her. She felt herself forced to obey that grave command. She lifted to his face her gray, black fringed eyes, filled with a sullenness foreign to them. “Say you don’t mean to break with me for such a trifle,” he pleaded. “Why, I love you, Reeda. You know that.” “I have nothing to reconsider." She never knew afterward how she managed to enunciate the cruel words. “I want you to go away and never come to see me again.” For one breathless moment they Btood looking into each other's eyes. And there was that in his face that dumbly reproached her. Before she could bring herself to make retraction he was striding to the door. “Goodby. dear,” he said brokenly. “I-I hope’’The sentence trailed off into Bllence, and he was gone. The girl stqod staring at the closed door. It looked like the door of fate Itself—shut fast in her face. She saw It through a gush of belated, futile tears. The day wore on—a dull, wretched, aimless day. She could settle to nothing. Every object brought some memory connected with the man she had sent out of her life. When she dressed for the evening she found herself selecting the gown

he beat liked and realized with a wretched pang that he would no more murmur praise of It—or of her. She hated the pretty rosy silk, with its ecru silken laces and coquettish little black velvet bows. So forlorn she felt, so lonely, so bereft, It was with slight surprise that, picking up the evening paper,-|ihe scanned a tragic headline. But as the full significance of what that ghastly line of type Indicated became plain to her she gave a cry—a faint, weak, desperate cry—and her mother, rushing to her, found her, face downward, on the floor, the paper clutched tightly in her hand. To bring her back to consciousness was the first thing to do—to find out what had shocked her, the second. And the paragraph in the paper, telling of the accidental discharge of a gun among a party of hunters bound for the Kankakee marshes revealed the latter. For the name of the man fatally wounded was given as that of Aubrey Bowden! The physician, bending over the girl as the fits of unconsciousness succeeded one another, shook his head gravely. “I am very much afraid”— he began. A queer, glad cry from Reeda startled them. She was sitting straight up, her arms extended. The man at the threshold sprang forward and caught her In his arms. “It was Andrew—poor Andrew!” he explained. “The reporter got the names mixed. I’ve a flesh wound from the explosion, nothing more. I hurried here. I feared you might learn of the accident. And, Reeda, darling, did you care, then, so much?” The terrible tension over, she gave way, sobbing convulsively. The doctor beckoned to her mother. They left the room. “There is nothing more for me to do, thank God," the old man said. Reeda put her arms around her lover's neck and clasped her hands tightly and held him as though she would never let him go. “Forgive me!” she entreated. “I was sorry while I was speaking—l was sorry when you went. All day long I knew that if you never came back I should want to die. Then when I saw the paper I thought that I was being punished and that Indeed you never would come back. Dearest, forgive me!” “When a man loves as I love you,” he said, “he has never anything to forgive. He can only keep on loving—always.”

A Faithful Dog.

Many hundred years ago there lived at Athens a dog whose faithfulness has caused him to be mentioned in history, and in the Grecian city his story is often repeated. The dog guarded one of the heathen temples at Athens. One night a thief stole into this building and carried off some of the most valuable treasures. The dog vainly barked his loudest to frighten the thief and to rouse the keepers as the man went off with the Jewels. But the faithful dog did not mean to lose sight of the rascal, and all through the night he followed him. By daybreak the poor animal had become very weary, but still he kept the robber in sight. The latter tried to feed him, but as he made friends with the passersby he took it from them instead. Whenever the thief stopped to rest the dog remained near him, and soon a report went through the country of the animal’s strange behavior. The keepers of the temple, hearing the story, went in search of the dog, and. they found him still at the heels of the thief at a town called Cronyon. The robber was arrested, taken back to Athens and there punished. The Judges were so pleased with the dog’s sagacity and faithfulness that they ordered him to be fed every day for the rest of his life at the public expense.

Animals That Weep.

“He cried like a calf is a remark sometimes heard. It is no disgrace for a calf to cry, and he sheds tears in quantities when his emotions Justify them. It is even easier for him to cry than for many other animals, because his lachrymal apparatus is perfect and very productive. A scientific writer in Nature says that the ruminants are the animals which weep most readily. Hunters have long known that a deer at bay cries profusely. The tears will roll down the nose of a bear when he feels that his last hour is approaching. The big, tender eyes of the giraffe fill with tears as he looks at the hunter who has wounded him. Dogs weep very easily. The dog has tears both in his eyes and voice when his beloved master goes away and leaves him tied up at home. Some varieties of monkeys seem to be particularly addicted to crying, and not a few aquatic mammals also find it easy to weep when the occasion requires it. Seals in particular are often seen to cry. Elephants weep profusely when wounded or when they see that escape from their enemies is Impossible. The animals here mentioned are the chief ones that are known to weep, but there is no doubt that many others also display similar emotion.

Evolution.

Johnny was spelling his way through R marriage notice In the morning paper. “At high noon,” he read, “the clergyman took his stand beneath the floral ttell, and to the mnslc of the wedding march the contradicting parties moved down the"— “Not ’contradicting,* Johnny,” interrupted his elder sister—“contracting.” “Well.” stoutly contended Johnny, "they’ll be contradicting parties after awhile.”—Youth’s Companion.

Humor and Philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

CONTRARY. Spring Is mostly sweet and kind, And to It we ar4 resigned; But, alas, to our surprise, It can be. If but It tries. Quite the meanest season that In the twelve months comes to bat. Quite enamored of its smile, How we brag about its style. Backing It for all we’re worth As the greatest thing on earth! Then there conges the lightning shift. And we bump into a drift. When It’s good and feeling fit Nothing’s In the class with it When it Isn’t, then, great Scott, It’s the limit, like as not, From the sweetest thing in sight Changes to a perfect fright, Has as many moods, I ween. As a girl of sweet sixteen. Never knoWjps you arise Just the kina of a surprise It will bring before the sun Sinks and says the day is done. ~ . --- Maybe cold and maybe hot — One can never dope the plot. For the wisest cannot know Whether it will rain or snow Or will on the world expand With a smile to beat the band. Placing the Blame. "I tell you,” said the purchaser, “this material Is not all wool.” “Indeed, madam, I assure you that every thread of It came from tho sheep.” “Nonsense! I know cotton when I see it.” “Very well, madam; but I pledge you my word that if there is any cotton In that material somebody must have bribed the sheep.” Makes Them Superior.

May—l Just dote on baseball. Maud—Do you understand the game? May—Sure. That’s easy. Maud—Don’t let the men know you do if you want to make a hit with them. Saving Disposition. “Biggs is a wealthy man, they say.” “Got so much he can’t spend it.” “How did he earn his first million?” “By holding a public office at a salary of $5,000 and managing to keep his expenses within $20,000 a year.” Somebody Ought to Be. “I am quite contented and satisfied.” “You horrid thing—when we are all" upside down!” “That’s the reason.”

PERT PARAGRAPHS. If you violate the rules of health Old Man Death is pretty likely to catch you at it. Self made men always have to submit to the analysis of somebody else.

As a time killing device waiting for something to turn up is effective, whatever may be said of its profitableness. A florid compliment is one that somebody you didn't care for gave some one you don’t like. It Is hard to satisfy some people, and it would be a stupid thing to do, besides. The things that didn’t happen are the things most worried about. Perhaps that’s why they didn’t. Not being able to have a new gown, a woman sometimes solaces herself by being sick. Courage is an excellent thing to show; It is dead certain to frighten your antagonist. • 1 The man who loses his temper never seems able to make it stay lost. Don’t be discouraged. It doesn’t help any and is an uncomfortable condition. There are things that are necessary to our happiness only when we have not got them. He who looks like a wise man to one person may look like a fool to auotbsr.

Fourteen pounds of dark brown sugar, ten gallons of soft water, two yeast cakes dissolved in one cupful of warm water and two slices of toasted bread. Boil sugar In one-third of the water and skim. Remove from the fire, add cold water, strain Into a keg and stir with a stick every day for a week. Then tack a gauze over top of keg. Put in a warm place for six months, when It is ready for use. A good time to start It is in May, and it will be ready for use by November. This is a tested recipe.

Orange Marmalade. Wash and dry nine oranges and three lemons. Cut Into quarters all the oranges and one lemon, then- slice crosswise very thinly, rind and all, with Bharp knife. Strain Juice from the other lemons. Weigh and to each pound of fruit add one quart of water and let stand overnight. In the morning boil fifteen minutes. Let stand until next morning. Weigh and add one pound granulated sugar to each pound of juice and fruit Boil rapidly about twenty minutes from time it begins to boil. Pour into glasses. Maple Sugar Frosting. Boil one cup of maple sugar and one-third of a cup of water until it hairs, then pour very slowly over the beaten white of one egg, stirring the egg constantly, then beat with spoon until hard enough to spread. If it seems to stiff add a little cold water and one-half cupful of buttermilk, or walnut meats added is an improvement to those fond of nuts.

Destiny may be waiting for you jhst around the corner, so cheer up. No man is perfect except perhaps occasionally when he is a fool. There may be no sea serpents, though lots of men see serpents.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

How to Make Vinegar.

Brown Spots on Face. Brown spots on the face are often very hard to get rid of. This formula has been very effective in many cases: One ounce elderflower water, twenty grains of sulphide of zinc. Mix and rub into the spots at night. In the morning wash off with hot water and apply this lotion: Eight ounces of rosewater, thirty grains citric acid.—Philadelphia Press. ! To Shell Pecans. It Is difficult to remove pecan meats from the shells without breaking them, as most housewives know, and the ready to use kind are expensive and not always obtainable In small towns. Soaking the pecans overnight will solve the problem. The shells soften and the meats come out of the shell whole without the least trouble. Simple Test For Eggs. Placed in the water an egg, if fresh, will remain resting at the bottom of the vessel. If not quite fresh. It will rest with the big end raised higher than the small end, and the higher the big end is raised the older is the egg. As an egg gets older the water con-

tained in the white evaporates, and this causes the empty space at the thick end of the egg to become enlarged. The larger that empty space becomes the more the egg rises in the water till in course of time it floats. Be brave and let who will be scared by the assessor. A good disposition is one that the owner may wear inside out or upside down and still be presentable. Smart Alec. “Did you ever see a dog catcher?” “Who?”

"Bay, do you call that an Intelligent flog?" “I certainly do.” “Well, I don’t.” “Why not?” “I wet him a little while ago, and be mistook me for a soup bone.”

PAIN , Peln In the heed—pain anywhere, has its causa, rain is congestion, pain is blood pressure—nothing •lie usually. At least, so says Dr. Shoop, and to prove it he has created a little pink tablet. That tablet —called Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tabledcoaxes blood pressure away from pain centers. Its effect is charming, pleasingly delightful. Gently, though salely, it surely equalizes the blood circalation. If you have a headache, it’s blood pressure. If it’s painful periods with women, same cause. II you are sleepless, restless, nervous, it's blood congestion—blood pressure. That surely is a certainty, for Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablets stop it in 20 minutes, and the tablets simply distribute the unnatural blood pressure. Bruise your finger, and doesn’t it get red, and swell, and pain you? Of course it does. It’s congestion. blood pressure. You’ll find it where pain IS —always. It s simply Common Sense.
