$4,000.
The cost of polo depends largely
upon the Inclination and desire of the
poloists to Bpend money. Some men
can enjoy the sport at an outlay of a
few hundred dollar^ a week, while oth-
ers will spend ae many thousands.
H. L, Herbert, chairman of the Polo
association, recently said in reference
to the cost of poior "It all depends on
how much a man wishes to spend on
the game. One man may be satisfied
to own and maintain three ponies,
while another will want at least thirty
at his command. The expense is much
like that of the opera. One man can
enjoy it for a dollar, while it will cost
another thousands for a box."
Harry Payne Whitney and the duke
of Westminster own and keep In train-
ing the largest Btring of polo ponies
In America or England. The mainte-
nance of these ponies costs them
ever, have been donated for the use
of the players by various Americans
and Englishmen who are interested in
the game.
"It takes several years of hard
training to make a pony suitable for
pole playing. He is usually bought
when three years of age and for two
years Ib taught the elementary parts
of the game, such as not to shy at the
mallet, to follow the ball, to "break"
quickly and to obey the slightest'touch
of the reins on his neck. Most ponies
are trained so that the rider may
guide them by simply touching them
on the right or left side of the neck
with the reins.
Many persons not familiar with polo
consider the fastest pony the best
pony. This is an erroneous idea-
While speed is an essential qualifica-
tion for a pony, he is utterly worth-
less if he does not know the game
checked he'll run over the ball and
carry his rider out of the zone of
play. A pony that will twist and turn
a« though on a pivot and then "break"
and race at top speed and stop in-
stantly at command is the ideal polo
mount. His value is beyond price
Therp are many poloists who can-
not afford to maintain large strings
of ponies and hire a trainer. Most of
these men have from three to six po-
nies In their string. They place the
ponies in a public training stable. The
cost ie $30 a month for each pony.
These public trainers hire stable lads
to exercise and take care of the po-
nies. One boy looks after four ponies.
The actual cost of feed for a pony ia
$12 a month.
Some of the expenses other than
those of buying and maintaining the
ponies, cost the players many dollars.
The balls, made of light willow, are
furnished to the Polo association at
ten cents each. One firm has a con-
tract to furnish the polo associations
with £0,000 balls. The mallets are
worth from $2 to $3.50 each. The
headB of the mallet are frequently
broken in the game or during practice.
It costs a dollar to replace the heads
The helmets the players wear cost
from $4 to $7 each. The riding boots
are worth from $15 to $25. The rid-
ing breeches cost from $8 to $12.

Both enjoy the sport thoroughly, and
as they are experts at the sport the
money that they spend yearly is to
them but a trivial matter.
But for their generous support of
the game there would not have been
any International matches during 1909,
1911 and 1913. Mr. Whitney supplied
the "sinews of war" which sent abroad
In 1909 the American team, of which
he was the captain. It was his outlay
of money and purchase of many great
polo ponies that enabled the Ameri-
cans to win the, cup which the Eng-
lishmen had won and kept for 23 years.
This year the duke of Westminster
defrayed the expenses of the English
challengers. Until he came to the
financial rescue the English players
had abandoned all hope of bringing the
ponies over here to play for the trophy.
Whitney and the duke of Westmin-

hire trainers to develop the speed of
the ponies and teach them the elemen-
tary parts of the game. The salary of
these trainers is $4,000 each. In addi-

are not permissible at any time. Tha

and microbes, and are unhealthful, be-

A little garnish of parsley on a cold-

on the greens, or the butter made into
neat pats or slices, will help wonder-
fully in making the meal attractive.
In this connection we might mention
the use or flowers on the table. Most

GOOD ADVICE ON PUTTING UP OF
SOME DELICIOUS DAINTIES.
Fundamental Rules, of Course, Every
Housekeeper Knows, But Hints
Here May Be Welcome to the
Youthful Beginner.
The general rule for making jelly
calls for fruit boiled in just enough
water to cover it until it is tender,
and then strained for sever&i hours
through a cheesecloth jelly bag. The
clearest jelly is made of tfie juice
which simply drips through the bag;
just as good but not quite so clear is
the jelly made of the juice which la
pressed through the bag. To each
pint of juice a pint of sugar should
be allowed. Put the juice in a sauce-
pan over the fire and tile sugar on flat
dishes in the oven at the same time.
Be careful not to let the sugar scorch.
Boil the juice for twenty minutes, then
add the sugar, and as soon as it is dis-
solved boil it up once, stirring it
carefully so that it does not burn.
As soon as it is made the jelly
should be poured Into glasses or jars
which have been sterilized by placing
them in cold water, bringing it to the
boiling point over the fire and leav-
ing them there for half an hour, or
until the jelly is ready to p«ur into
them. They must then be handled
carefully with a towel to prevent
burned fingers and the Jelly must be
immediately poured into them. If
they are put to boil in a wire strainer
or i^ck of some kind which can be
easily removed, burned fingers will be
more easily avoided.
When the jelly is cold melt paraf-
fin, taking care not to burn it, and
pour it over the tops of the Jars of
Jelly. A layer of paraflin an eighth of
an inch thick is sufficient to protect
the Jeily. Old paraffin from last
year's Jars can be used. It should be
washed In boiling hot water for a min-
ute to remove all dust and stickiness,
Bhould be dried and then should be
melted over the fire; any Impurities
which the water does not remove will
sink to the bottom when it is melted.
After the paraffin Is in place wash the
outside of the Jelly Jars with a cloth
wrung out of hot water and then dry
them. Then mark each with a little
label on which the name of the Jelly
appears. These labels can be cut
from white paper and stuck on with
mucilage or photograph paste; they
can be squares of gummed passepar-
tout picture binding or they oan be
the small gummed labels which are
sold for ten cents a hundred.
An unusual currant Jelly Is made
with currants in the jelly in this
wise: To begin with, if you have cur-
rants in your garden see that they
are not picked just after a rain, but
when they are dry and bathed in sun-
shine. Strip the currants from their
stems and put them in an earthen Jar
set in a big kettle of boiling water.
Leave them in the jar for three hours,
during which time the water bolls con-
stantly. Then strain the Juice of the
currants through a Jelly bag. Add su-
gar in the proportion of a pound to a
pint, and add fresh, stemmed cur-
rants; boil twenty minutes or until
the mass jellies, and put in jelly
glasBes.
Raspberry Jelly Is delicious. Boil a
pound and a quarter of granulated su-
gar to a thick sirup and add a pint of
raspberries. Boil slowly and gradual-
ly add a cupful of currant juice. When
it will Jelly skim oft all seeds and pour
it Into glasses.
Fudge Frosting.
One nnd one-half tablespoons of
butter, one-half cup of unsweetened
cocoa, 1% cup confectioner's sugar,
pinch of salt, one-fourth cup of milk,
one-half cup chopped walnuts, one
half teaspoon vanilla. Heat to boiling
point. Boll about eight minutes; re-
move from stove, add to vanilla and
heat till creamy. Pour over cake to
depth of one-quarter Inch.
Braized Beef.
Cut the meat in pieces about three
inches square, placing them in the
spider; then slice up three carrots,
three parsnips and four onions on
top of the meat, cover all with wa-
ter and cook three hours in the oven,
I Btirring often.
To Clean the Coffee Pot.
Put a tablespoon of carbonate of
soda Into the pot, fill It nearly full of
water, and let it boll for a littja while,
Then rinse very thoroughly with hot
water.
To Cover the Olass Door.
If you have tirefi of the white cur-
tain at the front door, cover the glass
with a paper covering that can be
pasted to the glass, and which reflects
the same lights as a genuine glass
door. Deep ruby, green and yellow pa-
pers are best for the purpose.
Colored Best.
White paper is not as good as blue
or brown for wrapping up thingB that
are to be put away for a long while,
as the chloride of lime In the paper
will fade fabrics.
MOW COCA COLA RSFRESHEV
The remarkable success which hai
attended the sale of Coca-Cola has beet
explained in many different ways. Som
have attributed it to "good advertia
ing;" others to "efficient management,'
others, to its "delicious flavor" and stll
others to the fact that it was the first ii
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of a
manufacturing chemist who hasanalyz
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. Ha
attributes the popularity of the drink
in large part to its quality of refresh-
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
Identical with that of coffee and tea
(with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of Dr. Holllng-
worth of Columbia University and of
Dr. H. C. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages (coffee, tea,
Coea-Cola, etc.) relieve mental and mus-
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These experi-
ments also demonstrate the fact that

the latter is followed by a period of de-
pression which calls for more stimula-

BENEATH THIS MAN'S DIGNITY
Was Willing to Do Much, but Drew
the Line at Acting as Secretary
to Barnyard Fowl.
A farmer In one of the neighboring
townships, who had gone into scien-
tific poultry raising, hit upon the
scheme of marking each egg with cer-
tain data In indelible ink. His idea
was to find which variety of chickens
laid best, and then, when the eggs
were hatched, attach a tag to the
chicken's legs. He soon found that
his hired man was negligent about
properly inscribing the eggs. One day
not an egg was marked, and the farm-
er lead him the riot act.
The hired man listened in sullen
silence until the boss finished. Then
"See here. You'll have to get an-
other man."
"Why, Jim, you're not going to leav*
me, after working for me for six
years?"
"Yes, I am," returned the hired
man. "I've done all sorts of odd
chores for you without a whimper, but
I'm durned if I'm going to stay here
and be secretary to any durned hen!"
