IV I VACATION FOR MOTHER
Her Idea of Relaxation and CompUU
Change Wat Entirely Within
Her Own Mind.
Mrs. Kmbernon did all the cooking,
washing, mending and other house
work for her fuinlly of Ave. Anionic
her other riutttig was the making u?d
baking of five loaves of bread three
times a week, for Mr. Kmberson und
the growing children had hearty ap
petites.
At last Mrs, Kmberson decided ah*
must have a vacation.
"I feel," she told her husband, "that
if 1 had to stand up to that bread*
board and make one more batch of
bread 1 should drop dead I've got to
have a chants. "
Mr. Kmberson was more than will
ing. He hud often urged her to tuke
a rest. It was decided that shfc should
pack up that very day and go to visit
her younger sister in Kansas.
"Now, I^aura," said M,rs, lOmberson,
as soon as she had got into a loose
house dress and dropped into an easy
chair, ."I've como to rest and visit. 1
don't want you ever to ask mo what I
want to eat, or expect me to turn my
hand to help with a thing. I'm sick
and tired of housework, and I don't
want even to hear it mentioned."
"AH right," said lAura, laughing,
"you can depend on me. I've always
wanted you to rest and let somebody
elso take the work and worry for a
little while."
At dinner the second day Mrs. Em
hereon said to her brother-in-law,
"John, do you like baker's bread?"
"No," confessed John, "we don't
any of us like it, but Laura has so
much to do that I insist on buying the
bread."
"You bring home some yeast this
evening," said Mrs. Kmberson, ?and
I'll make you some home-made bread."
Two weeks later, when Mrs. Em
hereon returned home, her' husband
was delighted to see how fresh and
rusted ehe looked. Nevertheless, he
tried to speak severely:
"Now see here, Martha, I thought
you went for a rest and change. Laura
wrote that you had been baking bread
for them ever since you got there.
I'd like to know what change there
was in that.".
'"O," and Mrs. Emberson laughed
happily, "It was a change of bread
boards!" ? Youth's Companion.
Forgotten Part of the Bible.
There Is one merit which it Is gen
erally admitted that the Apocryphal
books possess. For sacred books they
are unusually interesting. I know
that by some they have been con
demned as sanguinary, fantastic,
worldly, and too similar to profane
literature. It may be that it is these
very qualities that have made them
so attractive to dramatists, musicians
and artists such as Raphael and All
r,ton. Not improbably it was these
very traits that led so many painters
to employ their skill in portraying
Susanna at the Hath, Judith slaying
Holoferues, Jeremiah prophesying in
the presence of Baruch; and that in
cited Handel to select the career of
Judea's greatest warrior, Judas Mac
cabeus, as the theme of" one. of his
most glorious oratories. There are no
parts of the Apocrypha more point
edly Bccular than are certain parts
of the canonical Old Testament, such
as the books of Esther, Canticles, and
the older portions of Ecclesiastics. ?
Rev. James T: Blxby, in Harper's
Magazine.
Gribbling.
They have coined a new word in
England, and that word is "gribbling."
The word has taken its rise- from the
writings of Francis Gribble, an Eng
lish author, who spends most of his
time in writing up the love affairs of
distinguished persons, and especially
of those love affairs that were more
or less sordid, or ended unhappily.
Mr. Gribble is, Indeed, an expert at
this sort of thing.. He does it much
better than anybody else; much bet
ter, by far, than Richard Le Galllenne
even did it. For one thing, Mr. Grib
ble has a passion, or what appears to
be a passion, for the truth In these
matters, and if we must have love
episodes written up, it is far better
that they should be written up truth
fully than that they should be writ
ten up falsely. But we cannot avoid
feeling that gribbling is a mistake
when it becomes the main passion of
a man's life, as it Is in the case of
Francis Gribble.
Remarkable Gift.
"A sense of humor Is a fine pos
session. With some men, however, it
goes to extremes ? to ghastly ex
tremes."
The scene was the Economic club's
dinner in New York. The speaker.
Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati, continued:
"I used to know In Horace Annes
ley a man with this excessive sense
of humor. Horace said to me one
morning, with a ghoulish laugh:
" Tve got the greatest joke to tell
you!'
" 'Well, what is it?' said I.
" 'You know,' said Horace, that I
was examined and passed for life in
surance last week? Well ? ha, ha, ha!
? I'm been to consult a specialist this
moiTCng and he tells me I've got an
incurable disease. He gives me Just
one year. Ha, ha, ha!'"
To Be Rigidly Exact.
Rcgstaff ? I hear you are doing some
writing for ono of the popular maga
zines.
Percollum ? That's slightly exag
gerated; I haven't been able to get my
stuff into any but the ? er ? unpopular
ones yet.

Necessity for Certain "Dot" Is an Ac
companiment of Marriage Cere
mony, and Its Absence Means
a Life of Celibacy,
A well known woman artist in Co
; ponhagcn uvolved a shrewd idea for
| tho foundation of an insurance com
I pany for tho exclusive benefit of wom
en, writes M. Winifred Jones In tho
London leprosy, A reasonable pre
I ruin in was to bo paid to insure against
' tho possibility of finding no htiaband.
Ladles who inarry beforo forty lose
| all tho money thoy have paid, which
goes to the benefit of thoae who reach
the ago limit unmarried and who re
ceive an Income for tho rest of their
| lives.
In France, to which wo look aa tho
i home of tho dowry, we havo It on tho
authority of M. Hrloux, "La Fomme
: Heulo," that "there are about 2,000,
; 000 singlo women in Franco today,"
and that many of these do not marry,
-?because thoy have 110 '^dot." The
daughter of workingmen who are too
well educated to marry a workman
I and the workman does not want to
' marry them, because the girls are too
; poor." -
At the same time the system of
the "dot" obtalhs in Franco where the
"parents put by a certain sura every
week" for a glrl'a dowry when she.
grows up. Tho fate of tho doworless
girl in France la much worse, from tho
matrimonial point of vlow, than that
of her Bimiliarly undowered sister In
Kngland, whore marriages would In
deed be few and far between In any
claBB were a dowry an Indispensable
adjunct to "tying the knot."
In Germany there is tho Stift (chari
table institution), described by Mrs.
Alfred Sidwick. "There are Stifte
from which a woraaa may absent her-s
self for . the greater part of the year,
and yet draw an Income from its
funds and have a room or rooms ap
pointed to her use; there are others
where residence is compulsory. Some
aro open only to descendants of the
founders; some will sell vacancies.
"A woman may havo.to wait year
after year for a chance of getting in
or she may belong to one that will
admit her at a certain age. . . .
Some are Just sets of rooms with cer
tain privileges of light and firing at
tached. . . . But you cannot be
much among the Germans without
seeing women who "have been edu
cated, endowed, helped in distress or
supported in old age by one of these
organizations.
"In Greece it is considered wrong
for brothers to marry until their sis
ters have been wed. Again girls must
marry in order of seniority. It would
not bo right for a girl to be married
while she had an elder sister who re
mained single. The men of a family ,
are thus naturally anxibus to see their
sisters settled, and as a dowry is indis
pensable, itB provision is often a
matter of serious anxiety and the
fruit of great self-denial on the part of
the brothers if the parents are
4ead.
"There are cases in which brothers
have remained unmarried and devoted
all their hard earned savings to the
dowries of their sisters. Among- the
poorer classes emigration is resorted
to, not infrequently solely with this
object, and many a dowry comes to a
Greek maiden from across the At
lantic.
"The average young woman living
in luxury in her father's house," says
a famous novelist, "is between the
devil and the deep sea," on account of
the English system of ? in the case ?
piling the money on the eldest son.
There is a. happy medium, and
though it takes a good deal to re
move hidebound prejudice and cus
tom, once the Englishman is con
vinced of the Jastice of a plea, he is
rarely deaf to It, and "money is a
greater necessity to the woman than
to the man, because any man who Is
a real man can work, but many a
woman brought up In sheltered Idle
ness can't work; that is; can't work to
gain an income and independence, and
so, sooner or later, without money or
without courage, she sinks sub
merged."
Cause of Malaria.
The discovery that malaila is not
due to miasma or to poisonous air of
iny sort, but Is transmitted from one
person to another by . a mosquito of
the Anopheles variety, was made by
Maj. Ronald Ross, a surgeon of the
British army, formerly In the India
service and now connected with the
Liverpool 8chool of Tropical Medi
cine. Hp had been a careful student
1 of the problem for several years when
In a series of experiments In 1898 he
succeeded in infecting birds with ma
laria from the bite^ of mosquitoes.
Later in the same year and In 1899
three Italian physicians, A. Blgnami,
G. Bastianelli and B. Grassi, applying
the methods of Ross, succeeded in ln
| fecting human beings. Major Ross
and the same physicians had proved,
in pfevious experiments, that men
could not be Infected with malaria

larious localities. ? Joseph Buckin

What Kills Them.
Mr. Bacon ? It is said that American
railroads kill an average of 32 per
. sons dally.
Mrs. Bacon ? Well, when wo consid
i er the foul air in those smoking cars,
; I should think the averago would be
? bighT than that even.
