\,m_ f THE SCHOOL LUNCH BASKKT. Boggfttlonfl Which Servo u Pleu ant Surprises. In packing the lunch basket lei Xruit come first, and this never t\v< days the same, unless later an apple is taken for "stony." To-day let there be a cluster of grapes wrapped In oiled paper, a luscious peach or pear, a plump banana, an orange separated In sections, leaving a bit of the rind to hold them together, a couple of plump figs ateained and sugared, a handful of dates or cluster of fat raisins. To morrow change the hill for a trio of meaty plums, a handful of nuts or a carefully baked apple with its core of sugar and cinnamon. Of course this latter must bo carried in a cup mid ho oaten with a spoon. Fillings for sandwiches are legion. Meat llllings are usually better, minced line and seasoned. Exceptions are wafer thin slices of fowl or rare roast or a piece of tender, Juicy steak shaved crosswise in thin slices. If the meat is minced leave neither gristle, chunks of fat nor slivers of bone in to discourage appetite. Nut sandwiches are always timely, nnd a Jar of nut butter kept on tap will prove useful many times. Any nuts may be used. The easiest way to prepare them at home is to run them through the meat chopper. Then they may be moistened with cream, olive oil (and this specially line for a child with any tendency to pulmonary troubles,) melted butter or mayonnaise. Add salt, to season mid muko more digestible, and spread. Cream choose mixed with chopped Tint* makes an excellent sandwich, while a moist gingerbread sandwich with a filling of cream cheese and nuts Is something to remember. if posblble, hake patty pan cakes for the lunch basket. They are so easy to pack, so tempting to eut, especially when their brown sides support a lovely frosted top. Automatic Door. Still another road pointing to laziness is a door which opens automatically. Why anybody should lie relieved of the little exertion necessary to open a door Is hard to explain. Of course, it is useful in a few ways. If n person Is burdened with an armful of articles, it would be very advantageous to step on a button when approaching the door and have it open Without further effort.

Do not make the dough too stiff, if 'necessary add a little flour from time to time while kneading, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Be careful not to scald yeast. It should be dissolved in lukewarm water. To be good, compressed yeast should be light, and not too moist or oggy. % Dough should bo kneaded at least three times, as long handling at one time kills the life of the dough. When set to rise, f lie dough iphould be covered with cloth and a tightly fitting cover, bo that no hard crust may form. The time of rising depends upon the yeast, the consistency of the idough and the temperature of the yooiu, which should bo 7 5 degrees. The dough must not become chilled Hvhile rising. There is more danger of letting it rise too long than baking 100 soon. The oven should at first bo hot (enough to brown flour in five minutes without burning it, but should toon bo given a stronger heat. Do #>ot allow bread to remain in oven filter it is thoroughly baked. GUIDES TO HEALTH. A pinch of salt on the tongue, followed in ten minutes by a drink of cold water, Is said to cure a headache. If you would get rid of rheumatism do that which will cause free perspiration without subsequent Chilling. If you would get rid of gout, make your liver as active as possible. Neither whito nor a gray dye of reliable character has ev< r been invented. Hair can be bleached, but the process is tedious and costly. Also, it has to be repeal (i < very now and again, as the newh grown parts 0" near the roots always take the uatW pral color. f, LONGEVITY OF WILD BEASTS. Lowrr Animals' IJves More Uniform Than Ours. One of the Smithsonian scientists calls attention to tho fact that the duration of the lives of tho lower animals differ froin that of men's lives in being far more uniform. Whllo human beings die at all ages between infancy and senility, among tho lower animals, on the contrary, all individuals of the same species live to very nearly the same age, unless killed by violence. Some examples of remnrkablo logevity among animals may be cited For instance, there is the story of tho elephant Ajax. which Alexander captured at his victory over i'orus. The conqueror aflixed an inscription to the animal and set it at liberty. Three hundred and llfty years later Ajax Is said to have been found still living. Hut little dependence can he placed on most stories of long life among animals. Where to Hive Hong. A Germ,an statistician lias made a careful Investigation to discover In which countries the greatest ago is attained. The German empire, with 55,000,000 population, has but sevents-oight subjects who are more than 100 years old. France, with fewer than 40,000,000, lias 2 12 perwlwi li-i vn t lu>l i' liu jwl roH birthday. Knglaml lias 14 6, Scotland 16, Donniark 2, Belgium 5, Sweden 10, and Norway, with 2,000,000 inhabitants, 22. Switzerland does not boast a centenarian, but Spain, with about i s.ooo,ooo population has 4 10. The most amazing figures come from that troublesome and turbulent region known as the Balkan Peninsula. Servia has 07 2 persons who tire more than 100 years old; Koumanla 1,084, and Bulgaria 3,883. In other words, Bulgaria has a centenarian to every 1,000 inhabitants, and thus holds the international record for old people. In 1892 alone there died in Bulgaria 250 persons who had exceeded the century.?lCxchange. Increase of Leprosy. Leprosy 1h increasing In both North and South America. Columbia, where there were only 100 lepers forty years ago, Is said to have 40,000 now, and many find their way Into the United States. Such a medical authority as Dr. Ashmeail, who was formerly chief medical adviser to the Government of Japan, says the increase is alarming. When leprosy is brought into a new country it takes fifty years for tho seeds to take root and it becomes epidemic after some 200 years. It has been shown that mosquilos are active in transferring leprosy bacilli. Uggs a Hundred Years Old. In felling a large tree some days ago in Cirencester, Gloucesershiro, a bird's nest, containing four eggs was discovered enclosed in a hollow non* the heart of tho trunk. The sap rings Hhowed that nearly a century has elapsed since the eggs we-e laid, and It was obvious that the hollow had closed automatically. Tho eggs were intact, but slightly faded.?London Tit-Bits. Supplied Willi Snuff. Tt la not generally known, says the London Express, that a genorous country supplies members of the House of Oommons with gratuitous snuff. "Formerly," the Express says, "snuff was described lu t.io estimates as such, but to ward off the objection aroused by improving habits the charge of ?200 a year was raited up or covered in the estimates as 'lamp oil.' " Earth's Hottest llrglon. The hottest region on the earth's surface Is on the southwestern coast of Persia, on the border of the Persian gulf. For forty consecutive days in the mouths of July and August the mercury has beeu known to stand above 100 degrees in the shade, night and day, and to run as high as 130 degrees in the afternoon. Making Space Pay. The Japanese do not like lo spare the square foot u fence would take tip. If a border around a Held is necessary it is made of mulberry trees, the leaves of which are good for silk worms. It is said that lk,000 acres, that would otherwise be taken up with fences are used in this manner. The largest and costliest building thus far undertaken in New York, the city of Immense structures, is tlie magnificent $10,000,000 Episcopal cathedral of St. John the Divlno, now being erected on Morningsitle Heights. This will be the greatest sacred edifice in America, and tho fourth in importance in the world. Varities of Mosquitoes. About 800 species of mosquitoes have been described, and it is esti muiea inai ^uu more exisi. unes recognizes only 3(5 species in the whole of North America, but Florida aloue claims 2 2 species. With Hign Language. A deaf and dumb person who Is fairly export at linger language can speak about forty-three words a minute. In the same space of tlnio a person in possession of his speech will probably speak 150 words. Hanks In Switzerland. Fifty years ago, in Switzerland, 180,000 depositors possessed $12,000,000 in J 67 savings banks.

Peggie Newton had been a faith- ( fult household drudge for years, and j had not grumbled much when her wages were occasionally passed j over; but as time went on, and her j salary fell more and more Into arrears she ventured to ask for something "on account." "Why, haven't I paid your wages lately, Peg? How careless of me," j her mistress said. "I'm sorry I have | no money In the house just now; but ^ hero's a smart cloak that I've ceased to wear, and which Is only n woo bit J out of fashion. You'll take It In lieu of wages, won't you?" "No, ma'am, I'm sure I shan't," said I'eg, wruthfully eyeing the faded old cloak.

Dr. Edward Brooks, the noted teacher and author of Philadelphia, described at a dinner the great strides that popular education had made In the past tlfty years. "Smaller and smaller," ho said, "becomes the percent ago of the illiterate. of those who cannot read or write. It won't bo long before a thing which once happened to mo in Sullivan county will bo quite impossible. "When I was teaching school In my youth in Sullivan county, a boy, one morning undertook to go through the alphabet. "lie stumbled along, and finally came to a full stop before the letter X. " 'Dunno that un,' he said. " 'Oh. yes, you do," said I. 'Think a minute.' "He thought. Then he brightened. " 'Why, lie said, "that's dad's name.' " Meant the Account. William Jones, who keeps a shop in Sussex town, is always known as "Rill" to his Intimate friends. Rust spring he came up to London to order a stock of goods. The goods wcro sent immediately, and reached home before fee did. When the boxes were delivered at his shop by the carter his wife happened to look at the largest; she uttered u loud cry and called for a hammer. A neighbor, hearing the screams, rushed to her assistance, and aaked what was the matter. a , The wife, pale and faint, pointed to an inscription on the box, which read as follows: "Rill inside." fjettlng Around a Difficulty. An instructor in a certain boys' school is noted among his pupils for his difficult examination questions. One of the youthful students, after ?* + ??? I I I 1 -- on u i^i ti imi'ticuiuriy t iruii" nous llt>L of questions in geography came upon the following query, which completely stumped him: "Name twelvo animals of the polar regions." Tho youngster scratched his head, thought hard for many minutes, and finally, after the spell of a sudden inspiration, wrote: "Six mi rils and six polar bears." The professor was so pleased with ids pupil's cleverness that he marked him 100 per cent.?Lipplncott's, Com pllmctary. There were sevoral young women in the party, and they had Inspected the offico of tlie metropolitan newspaper from the ground floor to tho proofroom. "lleg pardon, madam, but are you looking for anybody?" asked one of the editorial assistants, addressing mo inn, aeir-possesscd young woman who seemed to be tho leader. "01i, no, thanks," she said. "Wo're just doing a little slumming, that's all." Simple Justice. Creditor -So you've come around at last to pay me what you owe mo, havo you? Dobtdr Not at nil just the contrary. You made a statement at tho club last night that I owed you 600 marks. As a matter of fact, ilie accounts show I only owe you 560. I've como around to collect that balance of forty. Tr!' J L'ATS 11 EAR CALL OF TUB WILD. 3oon Become Able to Give m Pack of Dogo Trouble. An Interesting study of animal da- , Lure is found by possum and coon hunters of the Marmaton River bottoms, says the Fort Scott Tribune. It Is fou ud that many once lame house cats are more ferocious fighters when treed than any other jpccies of animals which hunters are atp apt to encounter in these woods. N'eearly every hunting party spending a night In those wood comes up with a cat that has "gone back to tlio wild." The supposition is that these cats have been tempted to the woods by the field find wood mice and other prey upon which cats like to feed, and that they gradually becomo accustomed to wild life and mako their homo there. Frequently a party of hunters has chased a cat half a night to have an exciting tight when the dogs finally cornered it. The cats thus returned to the native life of the species arc said by hunters to grow considerably larger than their civilized brothers and sisters and to bo able to engage a whole pack of dogs single banded. Professions That Kill. The latest compilations which have been made show that the air in cutlery factories Is laden with invisible metal dust, and this being carried into the lungs, causes asthma and consumption. The steel grinders, bending over their work, inhale such huge quantities of metal dust that they rarely live beyond the ago of forty. All metal trades are very hazardous,and phthisis or tubercular affections and respiratory diseases are the penalties of these pursuits. i 11(3 rate oi mortality among orewers lh r?0 per cet. greater than that among men of ordinary callings. Gout Is an enemy which makes itself sorely felt in this occupation. Bakers, too, are more than normally subject to premature death. In the (lour there is a very small microbo which has its effect on the teeth, and attacks the drums oi the ears, causing deafness.?Exchange. A W riter's Personality. Of Itobort l.ouis Stevenson a recent writer says: :"\Vitk his dark eyes looking as if they had drunk in the sunshine in some southern land, his uncut hair, his odd, shabby clothes clinging to his attenuated frame, his elaborate manners and habit of gesticulating as ho spoke, ho was often mistaken for a starving musician, or foreign mountebank. Continental ofllcials doubted his passport's statement that he was a 111 iiDu. in r l'uucu no was imprisoned, and Stevenson complained that ho could not pass a frontier or visit a bank without suspicion." When "Pupa" Was Polite. For some time after the "papa" was taken into the English language, in the seventeenth century, it was restricted to courtly and polite speech and was common even among adults. Long after it had become childish it was still accounted genteel. Hood wrote of one who was "genteelly taught by his mamma to say not father, but papa." "Papa" may ho comparatively a newcomer into the English language, but it is as old as. Homer. Nausica in the "Odyssey," calls her father "papa pliilo"?dear papa. Artificial Waters. Artificially aerated drinking waters were the invention of the chemist, Joseph Priestley, who in 1773 published his "Directions for Impregnating Water With Fixed Air In Order to Communicate to It the Peculiar Spirit and Virtues of Pyrmont Water and Other Mineral Water* of a Similar Nature." Some one hae calculated the consumption of aerated waters In Great Britain and Ireland to amount to 200,000,000 gallons a year. Practice and Theory. Lord Kelvin paid a visit to the British schoolship for navigating oiiurrs ai I'ortsmouin, on wnicn are several mechanical contrivances and appliances of his own invention. The practical working of these had to bo demonstrated and explained to him. Lord Kelvin understood the theoretical principles of the mechanism, but had never seen them applied and at work before. High Priced Orchid. The highest price ever paid for nny orchid was paid at an auction sale in London for n heavily marked form of Odontoglassum, $6,035, and but for a small plant! It has enormous heavy blotches of chocolate brown on each segment of the flower, occupying approximately one-half the area. Perambulating IUacksinlth. In Northern China a perambulating village blacksmith goes about In the early spring making Implements for the farmers. The plows differ in design in the various localities, and are only sumcient to scratch the surface of tho soil. Against I load Dust. A few years ago road dust was an almost Insufferable plague on windy summer days in Southern California Now the roads are sprinkled with petroleum twice a year and even an automobile raises no dust. Air of Polar Region. The air Is so pure in tho polar regions, so free from harmful microbes, that throat and lung diseases aro unknown there. That section is also entirely free from contagious maladies. Forces OeacbL S. T.
