WANT PICTURE OF KITCHEN. "A phase of the servant girl question that was new .to me was sprung yesterday when I called at the employment agency to hire a cook," aald the nervous Boston woman. "A prepossessing looking girl was brought forward for an Interview. Her first question was, 'Have you any pictures of your kitchen?' "I said I had none. " 'It is always best to bring them,' said the girl loftily. 'It saves time and trouble, for with them to look a1 a cook can see at a glance the position of the sink, the tubs, the rang< and the cupboards and can tell if the place will suit her.' "While I was adjusting my mind t< that phase of .the proposition anothei woman with a wider experience thai mine piped up that she had brough lews of her kitchen.

" "Shibboleth," a novel written just before her marriage, may prove an f Important factor in the suit of Mrs. Susanne Ella Wood Dean to recover dower rights in the SI.400.000 es tate of her late husband, John E. Dean. According to the testimony brought out in Chicago the couple signed at the time of the nuptials an agreement settling upon the wife only $25,000 in the event of her husband's death. Her attorneys maintain that as a young unsophisticated person her love l?r Dean was such that it overshad owed any consciousness of her right: : as his wife, and that she signed the -agreement without understanding .what It meant. lit 'Attorneys for the defense ? thej ^represent the Dean sisters, who ar? as% in possession of the estate o: their father?maintain that she wai (in possession of every faculty am Anew exactly what she was doing This they seek to establish by mean; ot letters and a diary which may bi introduced later.

WEDDING CUSTOMS. The little customs that have come to be a part of the marriage ceremony have had diverse and interesting origins. The ring has played an Important part. With the coming in of Christianity it was no longer placed on the right forefinger, but on the left third finger. The priest, or in some cases the groom, first put it on the thumb, saying, "In the name of the Father;" on the forefinger, adding, " In the name of the Son;" on the second finger, continuing, "In the name of the Holy Ghost;" then on the third i finger with "Amen"?and there it re> malned. The bridal veil originated in Bible i times and was worn until all the > public ceremonies were over. In the Anglo-Saxon wedding ceremony a > square piece of veiling was held over r the head of the bride to conceal her i embarrassment. t In the later Bible days, during the . period between the betrothal and the - wedding, the bride remained with her - friends and could communicate with r her aifianced only through "the friend I of the bridegroom." Throwing shoes originated in the e old Jewish custom of handing to the ive six pounds from the tall of salmon pllt these through and sprinkle with t mace, one-half teaspoonful of salt, cayenne. Place the fish In a baking ilf pound of butter through your hand and bake for one hour.

Throwing rice symbolized fruitfulness and plenty, from Its general distribution over the world. Taking the husband'B name originated in Roman times, though the date is unknown. When Julia married Pompey her name became Julia of Pompey. Modern women omit the "of" In the name.?Delineator. WHY YOU TALK NONSENSE IN YOUR SLEEP. In a paper on the mechanism and interpretation of dreams, read re- I cently before the neurological section i of the Academy of Sciences, Morton > Prince, of Boston, stated that dreams . are in reality psychoses, or typeB of i delirium, and are characterized by > the same general symptoms, if one ; may speak of symptoms aside from disease. Mr. Prince said he did not r believe with Freud that every dream > represents the fulfillment of a wish, t but rather that it represents the un3 fulfillment of a wish or the fulfillment 1 of a fear. One woman mentioned by him als ways dreamed that she was surrounds ed by a myriad of cats, and she would e usually awake when they seemed to 1 be attacking her or when she was r throwu helplessly among them. Under hypnotic influence it was found s'that in early childhood this woman a had been greatly frightened by a pet il cat, which had scratched and bitten e her, and that the memory of this och casion, although seemingly buried i- deep in the jumble of past expert - ence3, nevertheless had a certain psychological coloring which caused it to be resurrected only during unconscious states, c Such facts, he said, may explain d in a measure the curious and appari-| ently utterly illogical single words is altd statements coming from the lips ejoi inose in aenriura, out It will nli ways be found that, just as in many n hallucinatory states of the insane, the it mind is working at a tremendous t- rate, much faster than the organs of rg speech can record the ideas, and o hence what comes to our ears from it the dreamer is simply a mass of ?ioniy senslcal words.?New York World. n Disproved. ie "Just think of it!

J Crackers and stale bread to be I crumbled for escalloped dishes or for 1 croquettes, may be passed through the food chopper, using the finest knife of the set, and they will be re- J duced to a fine powder with very little labor, and, in a way, there are no j crumbs lying about to be cleared away j afterwards, as in the case when crack- C ers aie rolled on the bake board. If one has a chopping machine the neit best thing Is to place the pieces of cracker in an empty salt bag, and, after laying it on the bread board, having fastened the top of the bag securely, pound with a wooden potato masher or the rolling pin until the crackers arc reduced to fine crumbs. The empty salt bags should be washed and put away for this pur- ^ pose, for the crumbs may be left In the bag if they are not alt used, and S a spoonful taken out from time to ? time, as one requires them, without the bother of rolling them each time they are needed. In this way none of the crumbs are wasted and any undue labor in transferring from the bags is saved.?Mary E. Russell, in the Boston Post. ^ STUFFED EGGPLANT.
