I can only feel regretful that I have deceived you so long. I feel myself to be a hyprocrite and a swindler!" He waited meekly to receive the full tide of Miss Isidora's curbed wrath.

A loaf of cake that has got stale and dry, may bo freshened so as to seem nowly baked by putting it in j tin, covering the tin with another pau. and leaving the whole in a warm oveiji about twenty minutes. To boil meat so ns to retain the juices and soluble snits, and cook it sufficiently, it should bo plunged into boiling water aud boiled rapidly for about ten minutes. After the fast cooking, the kettle must be pushed over to tho back of the tire, where ita" contents will simmer gently. This tends to coagulate the outer rind of the meat so that the juices caunot escape. If meat be treated in this manner, the inside will be found juicy and tender, but if the meat is allowed to boil it will be found hard and chippy.

I < The soldier's life in the Philippines must be of exciting interest to those far away, when we rend of his brave deeds and hardships as seen on the field of action. After the din and ex citement of the day's battle, the.sim plicity and regularity with which towns are occupied after the capture is absorbing In itself. No looting is permitted, though nearly all houses are found vacated. Every officer and man is tired out following the elation, manoeuvring, and attacking during the day through the mire of rice-paddles and deeply plowed sugar fields, wading and ford ing streams without a moment's pause to learn of depth or bottom. The lines of troops go to their as signed places for the night's bivouac encamped in strictly military order, and ready at any instant to form in order of battle or to march. Places for each organization are Indicated and understood before the stacking of guns is permitted.- Confusion and dis aster, especially at night attacks, are otherwise more than likely to occur. But much ls yet to be done, and done promptly, that early rest may be given. Tne regimental commander quickly reconnoitres the best points for outposts, and before ranks are broken has the outpost details formed and sent to occupy these points; cover ing his front, flank, and connections un der the officer of the day, the execu tion being further superintended and reconnoitred by the field officer of the day, who Improves or corrects posi tions. Outposts are very important; they cover approaches to the main body, discover movements of the ene my, and give timely warning; prevent surprise and give rest and quiet to the army. Cossack posts, so called-although In reality an American idea-are general ly adopted. Each post consists of three sentinels and a non-commissioned offi cer-one of the sentinels on the look out In a tall tree or on a housetop If available; the others are ten or twen ty yards in support and resting with arms at hand and without removing cartridge belts. Arms of the troops not detailed for outpost duty are now stacked, ammun nition belts refilled, sentinels posted over the water supply, that water .be not wasted or riled; that the water, near the troops be guarded for their ase; that next below for the animals, ind further down for washing pur poses. Details are made to bring wood ind water to the company cooks, who ?oon have the steaming coffee and sup per ready for the soldier, who is then svrapped in his blanket, if he has been lble to carry lt or, perforce, lt has Peen brought up on his company cari Jou cart He ls additionally fortunate If by rood luck his bivouac is near some of :he nipa huts, which he ls allowed to )ccupy. But do not imagine a snug ittle furnished cottage, for although ?astily abandoned, there is not a bit >f furniture or kitchen ware cr any finnkets in the houses, which are ab ?olutely denuded c everything, if ?uch things ever existed there. And io our Tommy Atkins turns In for the light's rest, probably broken by the danns and firing on the lines toward I or 4 o'clock in the morning. He has ?ot.troubled himself to put on his pa amas, and so is ready at the 5 o'clock ?veille, under arms, awakening cheerf ul and eager for another "scrap." On the march he has learned to avoid ixcessive drinking of water and to lave his canteen filled With water vhich has been bolled, or, better yet, vlth weak tea, slightly sweetened, be bre starting. I commend this highly, rom practical and personal use, and lt 5 most refreshing. Spirits, especially lofore exertion, only give transient trength.

Hair ^Restorer is a Perfect j FEAR IN HIGH PLACES, The Psychological Views of a Famous Steeple-Climber. , P. P. , O'Neil of Charlestown,. " a iteeple-climber, asked if he ever felt lear In high places, answered: "Of course, I feel fear at times. Fear s common to all mankind. Not to feel lear ls not courage; to overcorme fear S the true quality of courage. Not ong ago Prof. Taussig, of Harvard, ?vho ls Interested in the matter from i psychological standpoint,' wrote to ne a similar question. What I told ilm I will tell you. "I divide the nerve force of a man nto two parts-the impelling force and :he restraining force; the same Impeli ng force that causes a body of recruits it first to run under fire, and the re straining force that causes them to )vercome for various reasons the first ?atural fear. So In climbing, one un jsed to lt ls by the natural Impelling .'orce of his nervous system afraid ifrald that his legs, his arms, his sup port will give way and plunge bim lown. Shakespeare, who touched on ill human emotions, touched on this leellng of fenr in high places, when In King Lear' he pictured Edward at the diffs of Dover. "The only way to get over the natu ri fear is hy some restraining force, Irora either within or without I re nember once, when a new boy at sea vas ordered aloft by a mate, that he renibled with fear, and begged to be et out of lt: 'Upon my soul, slr, I :an't go up there.' This was his first mpelllng impulse. But when the mate ouched him up with a rope's end, he vas at the top of the mast so quick hat the mate could not follow .him. Che pain on his outer nerves brought lim to his senses, and made him exert ils restraining force. ? So if you hap >en to be with any one who shows igns of fear in a high place, a few mart slaps on the face will bring him o himself. The right medicine for un onquerable fear In a high place is im ucdl.ite pain on the outside nerves. "Fear can be overcome like any tatural passion. I remember that vhen I began to climb I felt sensations if numbness in the back of my lend; and at such times I used to stop nd devote myself to Tertoflngx:otfriige. ["he way to do it is to remember that upport Is at hand, and that TT de >ends only upon yourself to make use if lt.
