Appropriate Hymn.
The worshipers in a certain church
had some trouble to keep their faces
straight, a short time ago. During the
service some commotion was caused
by a gentleman who accidentally ig"
nited a box of wax matches in his
pocket, and was trying to put them
out, while his alarmed neighbors
struggled equally hard to help him.
The minister, being short-sighted,
could not make out the reason of the
disturbance, and thinking to diplomat-
ically cover the Incident, he innocently-
said:
"Brethren, there is a little noise
going on. Until it is over let us sing
'Sometimes a Light Surprises.' "

MODERATE OVEN THE BEST
Potatoes Baked Therein Will Be
More Satisfactory Than Where
Oven Is Very Hot.
Fnked potatoes are a staple article
of diet In most families. They are
inexpensive and easy to prepare. Yet
constantly as they are used it is rare
to find one well baked—the skin is
either burned or the contents are not
mealy.
Do not have the oven too hot for
baked potatoes. If they are done In
a moderate heat for a longer time
they will be more evenly cooked.
Pricking the small end of a potato
with a fork before putting In the oven
will keep the skin from bursting.
A German cook noted for her de-
licious baked potatoes washes them
carefully, then rubs the skin with
pure lard before putting them In the
oven. They are much more delicate
and tender all through when so
cooked.
A pleasant variety In baked pota-
toes is to skin them when raw, rub
them over with a greased paper
dipped In butter and baked in the or-
dinary way.
In serving baked potatoes they
should be passed on a folded napkin,
and taken with the fingers rather than
with a spoon.
Use simmering burner for soups,
pot roasts, etc., boiling vegetables on
top of the same vessel.
Cut sheets of tinfoil and place un-
der the flower vase doilies and you
will have no trouble with any damp-
ness affecting the best polished fur-
niture.
Cook pot roast, soup and stews on
the ledge of the furnace. Start cere-
als and vegetables on the gas and fin-
ish In the hay box. Meats can also
be cooked in this way, giving plenty
of time and reheating during the pro-
cess.
To save many steps In the kitchen
have a small zinc-covered shelf near
the range, where hot food, when re-
moved from the oven, may be placed.
It also saves the table and you avoid
the danger of being burnt while carry-
ing It across a room.
As a great protection from moths,
when putting winter clothing and
blankets away one may procure dried
wormwood from the druggist. Scat-
ter It lavishly between the folds and
wrap each article neatly in clean
newspapers. Thus one avoids any
trouble from these little pests.

PROOF WANTED.
USED LANGUAGE OF FINANCE
Mr. Saintly—Things do not always,go
as we plan. "Man proposes and—"
Miss Oldmayde—He does, eh? Well,
go ahead, sir, and prove that the say-
ing is true.
From the Greek.
It is said of the inhabitants of Iasus
off Caria that when a certain harper
was performing the people who were
listening heard the bell for the open-
ing of the fish market, and rushed off,
with the exception of one man who
was a little deaf. The harper, coming
up, addressed him thus: ''My good sir,
I am much flattered by your staying
to hear me when all the rest ran off
at the sound of a bell." "What?" said
he, "has the fish-bell rung? Then I'm
off too. Good-by."—Strabo.
Commercial Reporter Did His Best on
An Assignment That Was
New to Him.
The exigencies of the occasion com-
pelled the city editor to assign the
young financial reporter to write the
account of the ball. He wras instructed
to give particular attention to a de-
scription of the costumes of the ladies.
The following excerpts from his report
have been preserved:
"Miss Blimmers was the object of a
good deal of flurry at the opening of
the hall. Bidders were enthusiastic.
She wore a spangled dress and was
conspicuous during the season at about
187, preferred."
"Mrs. Marriem made her first ap-
pearance since her last divorce. She
has been resting at the springs, and
the reorganization sets her at par."
"Miss Newwun, in a simple white
dress, was a tentative offering at the
start, but within an hour jumped to
275. There was at that time a great
scramble, but the lucky bidder, who
is said to have been planning a
squeeze, was Mr. Dash."
"Miss Boldun wore a cotume that
was 40, 30, and 10 off."—Life.
Valued Absences.
"Always speak kindly of the absent,"
said young Mr. Primly.
"I would," replied Miss Cayenne, "if
I thought it would be an inducement to
some tiresome people to remain so.'!
Coming in Relays.
Twins were born to Mrs. O'Brien.
When the first one was born the nurse
called Jimmy and said:
"Tell your aunt to come right over.
The stork has brought you a little
brother."
The aunt could not come over imme-
diately. In a half hour the nurse
called Jimmy again and said:
"Run over and tell auntie the stork
has brought you another brother."
Jimmy ran to his aunt's house and
said:
"Auntie, the stork h$s brought an-
other brother. I wonder how many he
will bring before night."
Not Sisters
Now and again you see two women pass-
ing down the street who look like sisters.
You are astonished to learn that they are
mother and daughter, and you realize that
a woman at forty or forty-five ought to be
at her finest and fairest. Why isn't it so?
The general health of woman is so in-
timately associated with the local health
of the essentially feminine organs that
there can be no red cheeks and round
form where there is female weakness.
Women who have suffered from
this trouble have found prompt
relief and oure in the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It gives vigor and vitality to tho
organs of womanhood. It clears the complexion, brightens the
eyes and reddens the checks.
No alcohol, or habit-forming drugs is contained in "Favorite Prescription."
Any sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. Every letter is
held as sacredly confidential, and answered in a plain envelope. Address:
