There is no greater blessing In this world than a steady job, with increas ing efficiency and hence increasing wages as time goes on; and the only way to insure that happy state for each individual is to give him the training for some skilled vocation in life, whether it be In business, in trade, or in a profession.-Paul H. Hanus. HOT BREADS. Our southern sisters think a meal is not complete without some fenn of net bread and the old black mammy knew how to mak9 the beaten biscuit and the corn pone as no one else] could. Southern Rico Bread. -Beat an egg until light, add one cupful of j milk, a half teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of corn meal, and a cupful of j cold boiled rice.

Were I to pray for a taste which would stand by me under every va riety of circumstances and a solace of happiness and cheerfulness to me dur ing life and a shield against its ills however things might go amiss and the world frown upon me. it would be a taste for reading.-Judge Anthony Donovan. HOT WEATHER BEVERAGES. It? is well to be provided with the materials for cooling drinks during the hot days cf summer. There is no drink so sat isfying and "touches the spot" like good egg lem onade. It is not only cooling, refreshing, but nourishing if one is tired from a journey or a shopping tour. In the time of fresh berries there are any number of concoctions cooling arfd ap petizing to the thirsty palate. Cur rant, raspberry and cherry shrub made last year will now be appreci ated. Grape juice is another most delightful drink. A few bottles of ginger ale kept near the ice and served with a snappy ginger cookie ; and a sparkling glass of the ale will cause your friends to rise up and call you blesse^. Iced Chocolate.-Melt four squares of chocolate with a half cupful of sugar and a cupful of water in a double boiler until smooth. Scald a quart of cream and add to the choc olate, beating thoroughly; cool and strain. Flavor with vanilla and freeze. Serve when frozen like mush. Coffee Frappe.-Take a cupful of ground coffee and two quarts of water, boil five minutes, then strain through a fine cloth. Then add a pint of su gar, stir until dissolved. Add the white of an egg to the coffee and freeze- until like wet snow. Serve in punch glasses with whipped cream. Grape Juice.-Cover the well-washed grapes with water, heat until the grapes burst and all the juice extract ed. Strain through a colander, add a cupful of sugar to each quart of juice or less sugar if liked; it does not hin der the keeping quality. Cook for five minutes, boiling steadily. Then bottle seal with wax for next year's hot weather drinks. Grape juice will be found most grateful as drink in ill ness, winter or summer. A cupful of grape juice, a tablespoonful of lem on juice, a pict of cream and sugar to taste makes a most delicious ice cream. TEACHING CHILDREN TO TALK Comparatively an Easy Matter to Ger Them to Use the Right Words in Right Place. We teach our children to eat nicely, to walk gracefully, and to dress them selves neatly, and all the rest of it, ? but very few of us take the trouble to teach them how to talk in an interest ing way, though the art of entertain ing conversation is as valuable at art as one can possess, says the Cam den Daily Courier. If you listen to the ordinary gossip in an average family you will notice that tb9 children use the same set of words again and again. They have half a dozen adjectives with which they sprinkle their conversation and they help out their lack of expression by such tags as "Oh, well, you know what I mean," or "It was a sort of what-do-you-call-it" and so oa. It is a pity to allow such slovenly habits of speech to be formed. Even when the accent and grammar are quite good, the children's speech is often very uninteresting just because of the thoughtless style of expression used. When a glaringly unsuitable word is used take a chance of speaking about it and suggesting a better one. There will be no need to nag at the chil dren on such points as these. They will be only too glad to learn, if they have the chance, for most little ones are instinctively attracted by the mere sound of fine words. MADE A MATTER OF BARTER John Wanted Contract to Be Explicit as to the Ownership of Those Trousers, A village clergyman in England, walking round his parish, met an old parishioner. "Well, John," he said, "how is it I have not seen you at church for several Sundays?" "Hain't got no Sunday trousers," answered John. "Well." said the clergyman, "I think we can remedy that. I have a pair at home which will just about fit you, and I will have them sent to you today. "Thank'ee!" said John. The trousers were duly sent, and the following three Sundays John was seen at church. Then, after being absent for some time, the clergyman again met him, "Well, John," he said, "you have no excuse for not coming to church lately. How is it I have not seen you there?" "Look here, parson!" said John. "I like a man to speak plain. I know what you mean; you're a-thinklng about them trousers. I come to church three Sun aays, an', if you don't think I earned them trousers, just tell me how many more Sundays I shall ha' to come afore they're mine altogther!" Fen'to this:'1 . ty," says a phrenologist, "the nT?2?a c every woman should be clipped close as the head of a convict, and care fully measured. The inches should be placed on record; then the hair should be allowed to grow. Women-'s heads are a great deal smaller than they are measured. Beautiful hair, lovely hair, fluffy locks, rebellious tresses hide a multitude of phrenological lumps that every man should know about before he marries. The male head, as automatically charted by the hatter, locks more like a bear track then a brain container. What must the female caput look like? We are accustomed to judging a man by his whole Lead, and as bis hair is usually short cropped a tolerably cor rect estimate of his character and abilities may be arrived at. Not so with a woman. We judge her by her figure and ?ooks. In her garrulous vivacity she is as unknowable as the Sphinx in hi3 majestic silence. Make your sweethearts shave their headt- be fore you ask for their hands In mar riage." Had Not Noticed Any Improvement "Less'n one shawt yeah ago. brud dren and sistahs," dramatically de clared Brother Bogus, during the exr perience meeting, "I was a mizzable wretch, wadin' in de slough o' sin and wallerin' in de sasspole o' 'nickerty! I loved de wron^ and hated de right! I lied, I stole, I cheated, and was de most contaminated sconl In dis town! But now, bruddren and sistahs, what do yo' s'pose brung about de change?" "What change?" pessimistically de manded Brother Grump, whose grudge against the speaker was one of long standing.-Kansas City Star. A Question of Time. She was a young and pretty girl of a sporting turn of mind. Somehow she heard that a certain horse was to win a certain race, and, deciding to indulge in a little speculation, she went to a "bookie" and put a dollar on for a win, asking how much she would get if it came off. "If it starts at 20 to 1 you w.IH get $21 back," said the bookie; "if at 10 to 1, $11 bad'.; If at 5 to 1, you'll get $6 back." j "I see," said the maiden, "and if it starts at 1 o'clock, how much do I get then." Keep Schoolroom Ventilated. More woman patients, three to ene. aro sent to hospitals than men. This comes in large degree from the fact that women live indoors and breathe a dust-laden, second-hand atmosphere If this is true of housekeepers, how doubly true it is of school teachers! Teachers suffer from brain fag, not because teaching itself is depleting, but because the average schoolroom ls badly ventilated.
