THE OAILY TASK. Dreading a Duty Doubles the Task of Discharging It. A small boy whose one tusk for the day consists in bringing a pail of spring water to the house begun to pine away, and his anxious mamma called in the family doetor. The U>j submitted listlessly to a thorough examination, the result of which puzzled the man of medicine. "Does he eat - well?" he asked. "Fairly so." was the reply. "And sleep?" he queried. "Oh. yes, but he drags through the day without a symptom of interest" was the mother's reply. The doctor looked loug and hard at the child and then had a bright thought. "What does he do in the way of work?" he asked. "Nothing but bring a pail of*water from the spring eTery morning." "Cut out that water carrying task for a week," said the doctor, "and let me know the result." The week worked a miracle In Willie's health. The boy had been weighted down by the thought of a daily task, and it was not because he was lazy. He did other things with the greatest willingness, but he so detested that one monotonous task that It affected MS Deaitll. xnere are uiauj - grownups like Willie, indulging a distaste for necessary duties to the extent of clouding the sunshine of life. Dreading a duty doubles the task of discharging it There are a few wise persons in the world who resolutely attack disagreeable tasks and clear them out of the way before they get troublesome.

A WOMAN PRIZE WINNER. Miss Hanseom Will Design Emblem For the Alaska Exposition. The latest woman to distinguish herself in competition, not only with her afeters^ bat in a free for all struggle wherein her abilities were pitted against man's as well as woman's, is - Miss Adelaide Hanscom of Seattle, Wash. Miss Hanscom has been awarded the $500 prire offered for the best ' design for an official emblem for the , Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, which wffl be held in Seattle in 1900. Several hundred designs were submitted, many of which showed deelded ability, but none of them so well expressed the purpose and meaning of the exposition as that prepared by Miss Hanscom. Her drawing shows three female figures framed in a circle. The figure to the right typifies the Pacific slope, with right hand extended in -welcome and the left holding, a train of cars representing commerce by land. The figure to the left represents the orient, and the ship in her hand represents commerce by sea. The central fgure in white is that of Alaska, the white representing the north, and the siggets in her hands representing her vast mineral resources. Across the sky in the background is seen the aurora borealis so vivid in the north. The purple background with the many colors of the northern "lights wakes a rich coloring. At the side of the figure on the right are tall trees, typical of the immense forests of the territory represented by the exposition. / CULINARY CONCEITS. / ' Never stir cake after final beating.

The Most Popular Dish Cooked In This Fashion Is Chicken. The charm of cooking en casserole is In the delicious blending of flavors that it accomplishes. And one can have meat as well as vegetables, all from the same dish and with equal good flavor. Perhaps the most popular casserole dish is chicken. To prepare this the chicken should be washed and wiped very carefully and thoroughly, then buttered all over and dipped in flour. The chicken is then laid in the bottom of a good sized casserole and two cups of soup stock are added. If vegetables are aesirea wirn it, a aozeu small onions are put in whole, with a couple of large potatoes cut into about two dozen small balls, one carrot cut into fancy shapes, two handfuls of string beans, two stalks of celery, a clove of garlic, whole; salt and pepper, a sprig of parsley and one turnip cut into fancy shapes. All these are laid around the chicken, and the casserole is then put in the oven to stay for an hour and a quarter. If the vegetables are young and fresh, then it is best to put. them in after the chicken has cooked for twenty minutes. But If they are old then they can be started when the chicken is,, and both will become tender and done at the same time. Deviled chicken is another savory casserole dish, which is better known at restaurants than it is at the family table. To make this the chicken is first broiled. Ten minutes before it/Is time to serve me cuicKen i? remu*cu from the broiler, laid in the casserole and the following sauce poured over it: Take a little mustard, two or three tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire* pepper, salt and stir. After the same is poured over the chicken breadcrumbs are sprinkled on it, and then the casserole, with its contents, is put in the oven to braise for a few minutes. TO RENOVATE BAGS. A Stunning Design In Gold Beads and 8equ!ns. The shabbiest of suede or silk wrist bags can be made to look very elegant and expensive in the following way: +V?? nld laothop fn within an VUb ana; uic uiu vv ? Inch of the frame and make a new bag or brocade or thin tapestry the same size. To stitch it to the snede right up close to the frame is a very easy matter, the stuff being turned f ' \ \ LOVBBS' KNOT IN TARNISHED GOLD. Into shape as you go along. Next comes the decoration. The bag illustrated is sewn' with jewels, with the lovers' knot in tarnished gold braid. The jewels are very close together, and it is a good plan to follow the pattern of the brocade or else use a simple geometrical design. When the embroidery is finished, sllpstitch In a silk lining, which will hide all the stitches. Several bags too dilapidated to use were renovated in this way and realized a considerable sum each for a charity. "Not Taking Any." An amusing story is being told con L-I_ J 1 1MU cermng a cerc&m uucuwo auu muc Prince Henry of Wales. The duchess was staying at Sandringham, and tea was being served in the big hall. Prince Henry, who was present, was made much of by the ladies, and the duchess, in her sweetest tones, said to him: "Come here, dear, and give me a kiss." Prince Henry came, gave a good look at her and then said in his shrill, childish treble: ? "Thank you, some other day." It was quite irresistible; no one could help smiling, and happily the duchess' sense of humor was sufficient to permit her to enjoy a laugh against herself. A Rule of Three.

Orange straws are among the dainty ; tidbits that are frequently served with afternoon tea. To make them the easiest, quickest way, remove the white membrane from the orange peel, cut Into thin, even strips and soak in cold water for two hours. At the end of that time wipe dry. Boil two cups of sugar with one of water until the sirup threads, dip the straws into this, then lay on oiled paper until the next flay. When Cleaning Knives. Add a tiny bit of carbonate of soda to the bath brick on the knifeboard Knives will polish much more easily*? Borne Chat NEW SHORT STORIES A Boomerang Joke. "On our return trip to New York on the Minnetonka," said a Chicagoan, "some one told Mark Twain on a rough, windy morning that he looked seasick. " Tm not seasick,' said the humorist. " 'You look it,' the other persisted. "Then Mark Twain laughed his short, gruff laugh and told us all a story. "He becran by saving that it never paid, either In jest or earnest, to tell people that they did not look well, "He said there was a practical joker in a certain New York office. This young man put up a practical joke on the bookkeeper, a quiet, steady, serious mm \ THE CHIEF RAISED HIS HAND. chap. The joke was for every one to tell the bookkeeper that he looked very, very bad Indeed. It was wondered what effect this would have. 'Tt was a hot August morning when thq joke began. The office boy started it " 'Ain't ye well, Mr. Quill? he said. " 'Yes, of course. Why? Quill asked. t* 'Why, ye look so pale,' said the boy. " 'I feel all right,' said Quill calmly, and he put on his seersucker office coat and set to work. "But when the shipping clerk told him he looked ill Quill frowned and said he had had a bad night?that was all. "When the cashier asked him what made him have such a queer color he said his heart felt strange. "So for an hour or two Quill was tormented with anxious inquiries, full of gloomy foreboding, about his health. And finally, with an impatient worried gesture, he threw down his pen and hastened to the office of the chief. "He was gone perhaps five minutes. Then he came back again in the chiefs company. " 'Men,' said the chief, raising his hand to command the attention of all, 'as Mr. Quill is most unwell I have granted him a ten days' leave of absence. Please arrange to divide his work equally among you till he returns.' " Humor of a Musician. There are not a few people who possess the idea that the late Joseph Joachim, the celebrated Hungarian master violinist, was a man of somewhat stern disposition, with little or no appreciation of humor. The following story from his biography written by Andreas %Moser goes a long way to dispel this misconception, says the Detroit?News-Tribune. Joachim was in the habit of interrupting his lessons In violin playing with pointed remarks showing a lively sense of humor, says the Chicago News. One day a pupil who was a native of Konigsberg played the adagio from the ninth concerto of Spohr. Although he played It correctly, it was a dry performance, and Joachim remarked: "My dear B., it is no disgrace to have been born in the 'city of purereason,' but if I were you I would not show It in my playing." To another pupil who had played the finale from a Mendelssohn concerto very stolidly and heavily, he remarked, "I beg for the next lesson that the elves do not come to dance In riding boots." Another youth could not execute a figure that was ornamented with brilliant shakes to his satisfaction. In order to make the character of the - A- II 1, T .V < _ passage ciear to uie yupu jwuiuu said, "That passage is meant for a garland with blossoms hanging on it, not potatoes." The Wrong Spirit. "The late Sir William Henry Perkin, the inventor of coal tar dyes," said a Philadelphia chemist, "had a singularly lucid mind. I once heard him talking about the missionary movement. "Sir William had been for years a warm supporter of this movement, and Kq It hi?rhlv hnt hp rrmflpmned 'V ? J, certain phases of It, illustrating the phase he meant by a quotation from a letter?a letter written by the notable Captain Davis to Secretary Walsingham about the conversion of the Indians. "The letter ran: " 'If these people (the Indians) were once brought over to the Christian faith they might soon be brought to relish a more civilized kind of life and be thereby induced to consume greater quantities of our coarser woolen manufactures.'

An institution lias been openea in London by a society woman for the purpose of teaching debutantes how to act at a drawing room. They are taught to enter, to bow, to courtesy and to depart.
