MELISSA WOULD NOT LEAN ON A PERFECT STICK. Mrs. Merriwid, yielding to a certain Impetuosity of temper, flung the book that she had been reading into a cor ner of the room, and then impelled by her love of order, arose from the coach on which she had been reclining and picked the book up again. Her aense of humor caused her to laugh as she did so. "I'm surprised, Melissa!" said her maternal maiden aunt Jane, emphat ically. 'It wouldn't be polite of me to tell you that you're not," said Mrs. M^r riwld. "Don't you mean that you are pained and shocked and grieved, auntie, dear? Surely not surprised! Well, I suppose J oughtn't to take It out on a poor, Inoffensive book, but the woman is such a fool I couldn't help it." "What woman are you talking about?" inquired Aunt Jane. "The amiable art square of a hero ine," Mrs. Merriwid replied. "I'm a nerfect lady. I hope, and I've got a forgiving disposition and a sweet na ture, but 11 any husband of mine un dertook to use me as a doormat in the way hers did, I would certainly bite a piece out of his heel." "How can you talk so?M Aunt Jane reproved. Then she added tentative ly, "Mr. Trimble would certainly, nev er give you any occasion to complain of brutality." "No, dearie," answered Mrs. Merrl wld, "he never would, I'm sure. If he did, I wouldn't bite him; I'd spank him." Aunt Jane almost lost her temper. "I must Bay I think it's a shame to "Thero l?n't Anything Noticeable Bet Appl like Mr. Trimble," she declared. "It's Indelicate and ungrateful. I don't ?ee how anybody could be more de VUICU I Li tin 11^3 iO VI u J uat uvi tv himself agreeable. I think any wom an he married might call herself lucky." "I don't," Mrs. Merriwid disagreed. "It isn't a good thing for any woman to have a husband who strives to piease. Too much devotion makes her conoeited and bossy, and when a man Isn't over five foot seven and there isn't anything noticeable be tween his lower lip and his Adam's apple, it won't be long before she's taking him around to a department store to buy him a hat." "No man can help his height or his chin," said Aunt Jane. "That's true," admitted Mrs. Merri wid. "1 would be the last to blame him for either. He can't help having eyes of a mild, milky blue, with a wistful, pleading look In them, or that thin, reedy little voloe and timid man ner. I can't really blame him for falling in love with me, but I could never be more than a step-sister to him. I haven't the least desire to tie his whiskers up with pink ribbons and I can't help feeling that he would be rf<*>nlv hurt If I didn't." "Nonsense," said Aunt Janes. "He would Just be kind and considerate." "Dearie," said Mrs. Merriwid, "haven't I told you that I know he would be? I know exactly how kind and considerate. He would always wipe his feet when he came Into the house and he would go outside to smoke, if he ever smoked; he wouldn't dream of bringing a friend home to dinner without my express permis sion, nor complain about the meals, nor forget to match my samples or mall my letters. If I asked him to beat rugs he'd beat them without a murmur, and he wouldn't stay down town nights or call his soul his own." "I really don't see what more you could ask," said Aunt Jane. "Life would be one grand, sweet song without a discordant note," agreed Mrs. Merriwid. "The only x n Mrt limoo T*T Vl d,n T irUUUIV ID lliCiv air; cn uvu * don't liko music. It would get on my nerves to have a man looking at me with a dumb, wistful appeal and Jumping to do anything I wanted him to do. I honestly believe Mr. Trimble would wait for me to get through with I the morning paper before he even looked at it himself, and a man who will do that will let you open his mail. Just think of the monotony of living with a husband who never thumped the table with his fist and said 'damn.' Even poor Henry Merriwid would do that onoe in a while, and he disagreed with me on almost every subject." "Oh. of course, if you like to Jangle," said Aunt Jane. UITORS OF Merriwid ( KENNETT ?. JAEHS mM. ?/1 i "I' don't, dearie," said Mrs. Merri wid; "but I don't want to have my tamper soured and spoiled by exercis ing it on a man who won't talk back exoept to say, 'Yes, my dear,' and 'Certainly, my love.' If two souls haven't any more than a single thought between them, I know it isn't going to be complimentary to either one of them. Furthermore, I'm no sturdy, storm-defying oak with sheltering branches and a rough bark for Mr. Trimble's tender little tendrils to cling to. If there's any clinging to be done, I stick for the vine part, with reserva tions, or I don't sign the contract. You see, I haven't got the protective In stinct, auntie, and I don't feel called upon to stand between Mr. Trimble and the rude assaults of a rough and tumble world. He's got to clear his own path of brambles and strew his own roses, or else get some lady with an aquiline nose and an Incipient mustache to undertake the Job. That's what he'll get eventually, too. His kind always does." "I dont understand you at all, Me lissa," said Aune Jane, plaintively. "You don't like a man to be over bearing and wouldn't tolerate one who was, and at the same time you seem to think life wouldn't be worth living with a husband who didn't use bad language and break dishes. Arent you just a little inconsistent, my dear?" "I hope I am," said Mrs. Merriwid. "I don't like consistent people, but there's nothing particularly inconsist ent in my idea of a husband. I j wouldn't mind if he smashed an occa sional dish, but. I wouldn't want him to make a regular practice of it, and he's got to understand the difference between Haviland and queensware, ween His Lower Lip and Hit Adam's I'd like to have him put his foot down as long as be didn't put it down on my pet corn?if I had one, which I assure you I haven't In other words, I would want the blessed asurance that no matter how virile and force ful he might be I would have a fight ing chance if the worst dime to the worsi. v "You'll go all through the woods | and get a crooked stick at last," Aunt Jane predicted. "He may be crooked, dearie, but he won't be any stick," said Mrs. Merrl wld. (Copyright, 1912, by "W. G. Chapman.) Tragic Consequence of Solitude. A formerly well-to-do Swiss family, | consisting of four young children and parents, built a chalet near the sum-| mlt of the Uri-Rostock (Eastern Swlt> i zerland), 8,620 feet high, in order to economize. The alpine isolation, soli tude and strain turned the mind of the woman, who wanted to kill her husband and children. The husband, realizing the danger, descended, the other day, to the valley of Isenthal in searcn or a doctor ana 10 lnionn uio police authorities. During his absence the woman set Are to the chalet, but with great bravery saved her four children, though she herself was bad ly burned. When the husband, doctor and police climbed to the mountain top the chalet w*s burned to the ground, the foul* children saved, and the mad mother was dancing around them. Women and the Farm. It Is not so much because the far* mer's boys sought the cities as be cause his daughters refused to stay on the farm that the rural population has dwindled. At least, the council -of the National Bankers' Association, In session In Westchester, came to the conclusion that the greatest draw back to inducing men to undertake farm work lies In the objections made to It by the women folk. The work in farm households Is undeniably heavy. One remedy proposed, and already in operation in some of the western states, Is a co-operative chain of laun dries. They carry off the week's wash and return It at trivial cost?10 cents is the carrying charge, according to report?thus saving one day's hard la bor for the women.?New York Times.

OLDVANDERBILT RURAL HOME kittle Place, Called "The 8tream," la Leased by Millionaire's Wife in England. London.?Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, formerly Mrs. McKlm, has been mak ing extensive alterations to the house called "The Stream," at Betchworth, near Relgate, In Surrey, of which she took a seven years' lease last fall, a few months before her marriage to Alfred Vanderbilt. She is mucn at tached to the place, although neither the house, which is a small one, nor the grounds, are particularly attract ive. In fact, many of the people at Betchworth on learning that she had plenty of money said in amazement, "Whatever does she want to come to a hole like this for?" When she re turned from her honeymoon almost her first remark was, "Oh! How glad I am to be back here again, ^ow I can rest and keep quiet" Since her return this sentiment has grown Mrs. Vanderbllt's English Home. stronger and she has bougbt the bouse and grounds. Since winter many Improvements have been made that were badly needed, for the dwelling had been empty for five years before she took It An additional plot of land has been bought from the trustee of the previous tenant, an outside broker whose business fell upon evil days. A garage has been built capable of hold ing several cars. Miss Ethel McCormlck, who was Mrs. Vanderbllt's companion &t the time -of the marriage, still remains a close friend and is constantly at Betchworth. Some months ago, while she was being drlv?n In a dog cart by Mrs. Vanderbllt from Relgate tb? horse bolted and upset both women and the groom, who was with them, out of the cart. The horse was a young one from Vanderbllt's stables at Hendon, and Manager Wilson has since had lnstructlbns to see that quieter horses are sent to Betchworth. COLLIES TO HERD REINDEER Uncle Sam Hires Blue-Blooded Scions to Teach the Plebeian Canines of Alaska. in-..*,?Tnoa .and Maior. j OtJtltHC, naoui mmwm blue-blooded collies, who date their ancestry back to the coming of some Collie William the Conquerer to Bon nie Scotland, have been hired by Uncle Sam to educate the dogs of Alaska. Their particular field of actlv ity will be Instructing collies, shep herds and huskies of the wild north In the herding of government rein deer. When the steamship St. Helens sails from this port Lass and Major as well as four other collies of less aristo cratic strain will be passengers. They will be in charge of A. N. Evans, su perintendent of the northwest district for the department of educatioD. Among the places they will visit will be St. Michael, Teller and St. Law rence Island. At the last local bench Bhow Lass and Major took blue ribbons and spe cial prizes against the field. They were purchased from Mrs. A. Stlnson of this city recently, and Major made the transfer memorable by falling into the hands of the pound master. He wae rescued from prison by W. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaskan division, department of education, very much soiled and worn out with his adven tures about the city. At herding col lies excel every breed of dog known to man, and Lass and MajoV, being almost intelligent enough to speak English, are expected to accomplish wonders with the native dogs of the north. Some doubt is expressed wheth er or not they will readily learn the Eskimo and Indian dialects of north ern dogdom, but Mr. Lopp and .Mr. Evans think that a short acquaintance In Alaska will make them proficient in tongues.

London.?After a period of eight, centuries, Winchester cathedral now rests on a solid and immovable foun dation, saved from threatened ruin. Almost every day in the last few years the movements or a aiver in regula tion dress have been watched with cu rious interest as he entered or emerg ed from the water beneath the founda tions of the cathedral. He was at work helping to save from ruin on? of England's noblest historic bulldlngB, and the successful Issue of the under taking has been celebrated by a thanksgiving service In the cathedral. For several years the dean and chap ter of Winchester had been watching ominous signs, such as cracks; bulg lngs and settlements, sure harbingers of a collapse of the cathedral. From the Interior daylight could be seen through the cracks; the latter grew ever wider and wider. The walls on the south side and the Norman tran septs, unequaled for their majestic simplicity, were riven in all directions. The massive masonry of the Norman builders had from the beginning proved too ponderous for the watery, compressible soil -which forms the foundation. The first hole dug into the founda tions revealed the cause of the whole trouble?water?and acting on expert advice, holes were dug In sections through the top soli and chalk and far through the peat. Then It was the work of the diver In his usual diving dress to enter the hole, remove further 1 on.aa /% ollrtW tho Wfltpf la/OIO Ui ou ao.vu u?*w ?. ? to rise Into the cavity, and then to lay a flooring of cement to prevent the wa ter from sinking back Into the gravel. After the Imprisoned water had been removed by pumping the cavity waa ' filled up with brickwork In cement. This extended from the floor laid by East Front of Winchester Cathedral. the diver up to the solid stonework of the cathedral, showing like a roof of rock overhead. . . While the work underground was be lng carried on, patiently and thor oughly, seven anxious years, the cracks In the walls, vaultings and arches of the fabric were welded /by the injection of liquid Portland cement from a squirting machine, a process known aa grouting, capable of being eo manipulated as to fill either a shal low crack or a rent through the thick ness of a massive wall. Every crevice Is now being repaired, every flaw and displacement remedied, every trace of instability in the foun dations removed, and the cathedral seems to stand as solidly as the strongest building In the kingdom.

Morgan Jr., aged twenty-three years, 1351 East Thirteenth street, had his sight restored to <hlm through an accident. About eleven years ago Mor gan was struck in one eye with a stone a small boy had thrown at a freight car. His sight was badly af fected and last September he went to St. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore to have his eye treated.

He came to this city to visit his parents on June 29, and he tripped over a rug and fell, his forehead strik ng a door-Jamb with much force. When he arose he found that he could see the daylight and later develop ments showed that he could see bet top thfln before he went to the hos pltal last yar. He Intends to return to the hos pital to continue the treatment, al though the physicians told him they did not think he ever would be able to see again. His mother was at market at the time of the accident jid could not believe her son's glad declaration when she returned until he told her the color of her hat and dress and described other things In the room. FIND HAMS 100 YEARS OLD Meat Discovered In Rhode Island! Ashes Sells Readily at $1 Pound. Providence. R. I.?The recent dis covery of several choice 100-year-old hams In an underground passage near a historic colonial mansion on Pru dence Island has started Prof. David Greejiberg of Columbia university oa a systematic search of the old cellars on the Island. Prof. Greenberg has been on the Island several months, studying the soil and the peculiarities of the natives. The hams found are packed In wood ashes. Their flavor Is so excellent that they have bean readily marketed at $1 a pound One Good Way Is to Notice Difference In Voices?Mating 8eason Is > . Usually In Fall. In answer to a query aa to,method or rule for determining the sex of geese, an exchange makes the following re Ply: There are no marks by which one can tell the gander from the goose. The only ways are to watch the ac tions of the birds and to rfotice the differences In their voices. The gan der has what Is popularly called a tenoY voice. It is possible that all four of your birds may be geese. If bo, Toulouse Goose. you will be unfortunate In attempts to raise any goslings even if you do se cure ganders. This Is because tne mating season is In the tall, usually in September or October, and also be cause geeseivery much dlsllk6 to hare their quarters changed when once ac customed to them. For this reaeon peo ple who wish to secure birds for breed ing purposes make their purchases in the fall so the fowls will get accus tomed to their new surroundings. Doubtless nests will be made and the eggs laid, but the eggs may not hatch. If you are forced to buy a gander this spring, it will perhaps be advisable for you to purchase some good eggs of the same breed as you keep, and use these rather than the eggs from your own flock, or at least mark thb eggs so that you can distinguish the purchased ones from those laid by your own birds. In this way you should not be wholly disappointed. ROOST IS QUITE CUNYtNltNl Made of Two Four-Inch Pieces Six Feet Long, Kalled Together With Five Crossplecee.

Place these in roosting quarters for chickens and they will soon be perching upon It at night GIVING CHARCOAL TO FOWLS ! . Puts Them In Good Condition for Work and Prevents Many Diseases Incidental to Season. Does the average farmer know that nm ?Tf><>iiAnt erade of charcoal can he made by burning corn cobs till they turn red, extinguishing the fire and when dry grinding for mash feeding for the poultry. _ Charcoal Is not a food, though fowls gain in flesh and eggs during ita use; It simply puts them and keeps them in a good condition for work. It prevents disease because of Its great capacity to absorb gases, acids and Impurities. It is an alter ative, changing diseased conditions to normal, disinfecting the diges tive tract and toning up the system. In putrid disease like roup, in fer mentation like sour crop, In intesti nal maladies like diarrhea or cholera, It is of great benefit. Breeding Demands. Poultry breeding demands a vigor ous physical basis. It is not a work for those who are weak in b^ r. An Invalid, it is true, may succeed with a few hena and rear a few chickens, and In so doing keep his mind pleas antly employed and his hands engaged not beyond his strength. He may by this open-air work regain his lost strength and health, but that Is recre ation, not business. As soon as the fowls become numerous enough to make their keeping a business the poultry keeper needs to be a man, and in possession of a man's strength, for a man's work will be required of him. Sex -of Geese. Both sexes in geese are featherad exactly alike, which makes it difficult to distinguish ganders from geese, especially when young. Poultry Feed. Corn is a good poultry feed the rear around, provided the birds have plenty of green stuff during the warm months. \ jV,-if#.v f ET into the way of idealizing what you have, let the plctur esqueneas of your Imagination play round the village where you live, instead of the one where you wish to live; weave a romance 'round the brother you have got, instead of 'round the Prince Per fect whom you have not got. ?Lucy Soulaby. WAYS OF SERVING CHICKEN. The "piece de resistance" Is fried Bpring chicken, which, If properly cooked, "would tempt the dying an chorite to eat" When preparing fowl, do not allow It to stand and aoak In water, as thus the deilcate flavor Is often entirely soaked out of the meat It la neces sary to scrub the skin, using a lit tle soda In the water, to thoroughly cleanse it, but it Is beet done before the fowl 1b cut up. Thoroughly wash the Inside by letting the water from the tap lluah the bird, then cut: up at the joints, and it will not be necessary to wash it again. Roll the pieces of chicken in sea soned1 flour and fry In hot fat Butter and sweet lard mixed makes a good frying medium, though it must be watched carefully or it will burn. If the chicken Is young and tender, it will not need parboiling, but should cook carefully and long; to be thor oughly done. Braised Chicken,?Tryout two slices of fat salt pork; cut a fourth of an Inch thick, remove the scraps and add to. the fat five slices of carrot* cut in small cubes, half an onion sliced, two sprigs of thyme, one sprig of parsley, #nd nna hnv flnnk t?n minutes'. add two tablespoonfuls of butter and fry a four-pound fowl until. well browned, turning until the whole sur face la brown. Place on a trivet in a pan, pour over the fat, add two cups of boiling water or chicken stock. Cover and bake in a Blow oven un til tender, basting often and adding more water, if needed. Serve with a sauce made from the stock in the pan, first straining it and removing the fat. i A delicious way to serve chicken is to bake it in milk. Cut it up and prepare it as for fricasse. Put it in a baking pan and Just cover with sweet milk. Cook very slowly, covered un til the last half hour, then uncover and the "milk will cook down and make a rich carmel-llke sauce to serve with the chicken.
