"I an see you two chinning away by th kitchen stove like two brothers. Mebbe, he'll read to you." Irad's aged eyes sparkled suddenly, and after pausing long enough to control his voice, he gently corrected. " We'll read from the same book, you mean. He's mighty keen over the proposition." "What proposition be you talking about?' uttked Kdsnr. shortly, looking at his watch '"Freeman ain't no reader. " "I I had reference to my ahem!

Hut when you open a book printed In my phonographic type it's all changed. The second the mental current from the eye strikes the printed page the words begin to make harmonic sounds nd describe what you're reading about and " "Of all the shnon pure bosh " began Kdgnr, his eyes bulging "Not bosh, but science," insisted Irad. "I sensitize the type, or, as Freeman says, mesmerize It so if you're reading about a battle you Instantly hear the wiping of gung and the boom of the cannon and the palter of retreating feet. It's a cross between psychological and phono type, I guess." "What In all git out do you mean?" Tied KdgRr. "Say It's a April shower. The second you read the words you hear tho toft drop-drop of the rain and the sweet swish of tho spring wind and tho cooing of birds. If the heroine is a sweet girl graduate you'd hear them forceful words: ''Heyond tho Alps lies Italy.' We'd git ten dollars per for school books now selling for 05 cents. After a magazine edltoi pays two dollars a word for a story he'd pay seven dollars a word to sonaitize tho typo. Say It was a story about a feller singing a merry song; besides reading the song you'd hoar It b'ing In a deep, rollicking v:Ice.

"Lots of money? Uo! ho!" cried Irad, hunting for a pencil. "Tako ten cents a line, flat rate, for mesmerizing the type In newspapers. We'd

And that don't include advertising. Just thing of it: 'Ituy Bings IJaked Beans,' reads a ad. And it speaks, loud and clear-like at the same second. The minute you stop reading the type stops talking. Now if you're ready " "What' your rush?" demanded Edgar. "Ain't our rood wholesome? The hoss Is lame and I'm glad of it, if It keeps you here till to-morrer. Now jou can's budge to-day. and that's settled How do you make this type act so?" "All you do Is to scratch a crease on each letter, using a diamond cutter and making a crease you can't see with the naked eye. Then you fill In the creases with my psycho-magnetic fluid, and when the type strikes paper it leaves a trace of the plioulc tluid. which one glance of the human eye will cause to evaporate Into spoken words, strains of music, and so forth. And there you he." And Irad smiled triumphantly. "But Great Scott! How long does it take to scratch all them dinged type?" gasped Edgar. if a man's provided with a high grade diamond cutter, made to order, guaranteed a hundred proof, and providing the type is plastic by b ing treated in our specially constructed c.irbo-furnace, carrying a relay of three different kinds of gases.

"What are they?" persisted Ned. "I couldn't name all the varieties to you," said Mr. Morse, "hut to give a general Instance, Ned, they aro the people who wear heavy hats bocause thoy are the fashion, and then suffer from headaches." "And tho people that go without overcoats, Nod, because It Is considered tho thing to do, and thon have stiff backs," said Mrs. Morse, sweetly. "And those that accept olllco as treasurer of a society for tho honor of it, when It takes them an hour to add 17 and 43." said Mr. Morse.

FOR OUTDOOR WEAR ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE OF i RECENT COSTUMES. i Checked Suit Well Adapted Either (or City or Country Washable Skirt a Feature That Will Be Welcomed. Woll "set up" and provided for walking either In city or country, is the lady pictured In the checked suit The skirt is plaited, but not very full, and Is threo Inches above the ground. It Is finished with a throe-Inch hem This skirt, by the way, Is waslnblo. The hem Is served In with au over- i cast stitch and may be removed cast ly. The problem of keeping the skirt I clean about the hem is solved by ta- ' king out the hem. washing and pressing the skirt and sewing tho hem back to place. These shepherd checks aro made up In all sorts of mnterials. among them n heavy weava of cot- i ton. which does not shrink or run. All 1 wool material is shrunk before making, and the mixtures are washable. f The blo'ise has a skirt, fitted about I the hips. The front and sleeves are decorated with a pattern In soutache j braid Th- cuffs aud collar aro of j satin. A black and white check with black trimming is shown In the pic- i ture. One may buy these checks in I colors, but they are not so sntisfac- j tory for all purposes. ; The hat Is ol a soft straw with ; plume ol puffed mallnette encircling . the crown. This material is not hurt by moisture. A black umbrella and substantial bag with german sllv. r mountings, with strong, well mad ' black silk gloves, complete an attr.-vt lve toilette and one that is practical The lingerie waist Is of sheer mus lin, crossbar or plaid with a little substantial cluny lace Introduced for decoration. On removing tho bloused cont, a cool waist not at all mussed. Is disclosed. The coat is roomy enough to provide against crushing the waist These slightly trimmed KEEPING LETTERS IN PLACE I Pretty Rack That May Be Placed In i the Most Convenient Spot in ; House. Our sketch shows a pretty and novel letter rack of simple constructlou, either for hanging up by the side of the writing table, or. perhaps, at some convenient spot in the hali. It Is made in two pieces only, and for the back and front two pieces of stout cardboard should be cut out In the shape indicated by A and II. The cardboard should then be covered smoothly with silk and edged all round with a silk cord. Prior to doing this, however, tho word "Letters" may be worked on the silk covering tho back portion, and some pretty and simple design such as Indicated in the sketch, worked on the front. There Is a loop of ribbon with a bow at the top attached to the back by which It may be suspended from tho wall. The front portion Is sewn in its place and allowed to fall forward, the ribbon strings tacked to each side preventing It opening too far. The letters may easily be slipped In or removed from either side. A Skirt Saver. Just about one-half tho pressing of skirts will bo required If the owner takes pains to hang thorn carefully each tlmo they aro takon off. This Is especially necessary if the weather has been damp and rainy. Stretch a skirt to the full extent of Its pinned waist band and it will wrinkle less easily. It is economy to lay in a supply of skirt hangers and uso them even In your oldest skirt. Where closet room is limited the combination rods keep your clothos in much bUer condition. Instead of hangers, in a small closet the careful girl will tnck a tout strip of canvas to tho wall Just under tho closet hooks. This can he furnished with safety pins by which a skirt Is cnslly hHd In a stretched position.

and cnslly .laundered waists are tho most pleasing for dally wear. Their freshness Is much more attractive than elaborate trimmings qn which will not bear constant w waists, ashing JULIA BOTTOM LEY. AVOID HABIT OF SLOUCHING Really Is a Fault That May Easily Be Overcome by the Exercise of Will Power. Slouching Is nothing but negligence, and displays a lack of self-control. Don't give way to it. but see If a little onergy won't overcome It. It may seem but a trifle to you. but not to others. These will not be as lenient In Judging your slouching habit, and not only will criticize it severely but may eventually form an entirely wrong opinion of you. The stooping position of the back and shoulders Is not only far from beautiful, but highly Insanitary, severely handicapping the rosplratlon and preventing all the Internal organs from performing their duties properly. Tho habit of letting tho shoulders droop and the back stoop mny have been acquired by rapid growth, or by overzealous study, but whatever the causa It should bo mended as speedily as possible. Lot the arms hang freely at tho sides. Don't fold your hands In front ot you, and train yourself to walk with free. long strides, instead of hopping or waddling, as so many women J do. and, above all, seo to It that the poise of your head is correct, well thrown back, Instead of being a half a mile In advance of your body. Then It Is easy to adjust tho hat firmly and keep It so, and It will not be awry. As In everything else, the secret of success lies chiefly In a firm, determined will to overcomo the difficulty, paying no heed to discouraging failures In one's efTorts. which are hound to occur w hen one first commences to break with the slouching habit. Complete White Costume. As a complete white outfit for n girl, make tho dress of soft white embroidery and the girdle of soft whlto taffeta and sunill bows nt the left front side. Provide n largo sailor hat or whlto chip, trimmed with largo bows of whlto taffota ribbon. If the hat is turned up nt ono sldo or tho back, use a single bow, sufficiently largo to cover the brim at that point, and drape the crown with ribbon folds. White silk gloves, white llslu hose and whlto cravenetto shoes should bo added. Hut the parasol may bo rose, green or tan. Cucumber Milk. Formula lor cucumber milk, a preparation for cleansing the fnce and for the removal of light tan, sunburn and freckles: Slice without peeling four largo cucumbers, add a cupful or water, boil until soft, cool and strain. To IVi ounces of Juice ndd equal portion of nlcohol and one-fourth ounce powdered castllo soap; let stnnd over night, add olght ounces of cucumber Juice, one ounce of oil of sweet nlmonds. 20 drops tincture of benzoin and n plnoh of boric nold. Shako well. Apply twice a day with sponge.

Follow this advice. Quaker Oats is tho bout of all foods; It is also the cheapest When such

men as Prof. Fisher of Ynlo University j and Sir Jiuues Crlchton Browne, i LL.U.-F.Il.S. of London spend tho best .parts of their lives lit studying tho groat question of tho nourishing and strengthening qualities of different foods, it is cortaln that their advice Is absolutely safo to follow. Professor Fishor found In his experiments for testing tho strength and endurance of athletes that tho meat eaters wero exhausted long before tho men who were fed on such food as Qunkor Oats. Tho powers of endurmco of the non-meat eaters wero About eight times those of the meat eaters.

Tho father first pulled down the covers and showed one of tho babies to his son.
