To pick out books at random is not cenducive to combining the acqui- sitfon of knowledge with reading which fs absorbingly interesting. Vol umes chosen in s haphazard way often prove decidedly disappointing. | Time and thought have to be given to selections. Some hints about choosing for a famlily may prove helpful. Books for Children. When children are little is the time for parents to guide their literary tastes. It Is not enough that good books are read to them hefore they can do their own reading, but good books should be in readiness for them k up when they come In from sit down after the evening al to enjoy the evening In a restful or should we call it a qulet For they seldom will acknowl- edge they are tived. The hent of a child's mind must be realized when selecting stories. There are periods in boys’ lives when they crave stories of adventure, just girls delight in tales of experiences in boarding schools and Intimate stories of I's adventures among other girls when at home. There are animal storles that are real, which are just as fasclnating as_any that | come i | PAR-| | ingly interesting | washing soda they will look betier and | are purely imaginative. There are descriptions of caves and underground caverns that pique the interest and of places, far and near, that create a desire’ to know more about them. And then there are the subtle myster- of fuiry storfes and fables that| few children can resist, and which adults love to repd also. All these before the child's desire for love storles. When this time does come, takes twise discretion to 1ide the reading into the hest chan- nels, and do it so subtly that the best is preferred without the guidance be- noticed or, if seen, to be appreci ated, not resented. A Trophy of War. The anger of Miles Standish terridble to behold. Seizing the in- dian’s knife, he thrust it into his heart and thus was the mighty Wat. tawamat slain. As a trophy of war and to encour age the Pilgrims, the head of the Indian chief was sent back tc Plymouth by MHobomok, the Indian guide and friend of t! white men Those who saw it rejoiced and gave thanks that they had Miles Standish to protect them.

She sold out her entire interest In her husband, lock, stock and barrel, and gave the other woman a quit-claim deed to him for $300 spot cash and retired from the fleld with her pocket jingling with money instead of with her hands drip- ping with blood. Of course, this transaction may be objected to on the ethical grounds that the wife out-traded the other woman and got more for the man than he was worth. But we may well pass over this phase of the subject: Iirstly, be- cause every woman herself writes the price tag that she ties on a man, and he Is worth to her just what she thinks he is worth; secondly, because the | woman who robs another woman of her husband is & thief who deserves no | consideration or pity from us. So our sympathy and congratulations can go | freely to the lady who appiied the commerctal law Instead of the unwritten law to the solution of her troubles. THE advantages of s 2 @ faithless husband instead of killing him are oo obvious to need pointing out. To begin with, a roaming husband is the most worthlcss of all created things. He merely upsets the routine of the house and aggraviies a woman's temper by his comings and goings e ragged edge of suspense. She wears herself to )ld him, when he is as slippery as an eel, and she an she can on 4 snake.

It is i certaining that the ticket that you drew in the matrimonial lottery, and that you had thought for years was a blank, is an approximate prize, after all. This shows how foolish and shortsighted, nay, how absolutely wasteful, it 1s for a wife t¢ ssinate her philandering husband until she has at least ofiered the other woman a bargain in h Under the stimulus of rivalry women often pay fancy prices for poor stuff, and it I8 quite probable that. had | not they let their temper get the better of their business sense, several of the ladies v hive recently murdered their husbands and lovers because the men had deserted them for other women might now be reveling in the Midwinte: marked-down bargain sales instead of languishing in dungeon cells. OF the advantage of getting cash in hand instead of revenge for a hus band you have to watch it is needless to speak. That sort of a husband is practically of 1o value whatever to a woman, but money is always legal ten der for most of the things she wants, and with the price of a no-account pouse many a woman could get greater happiness than she has ever had | out of ber married life | out r married life (! COURSE, there is 1o fixed price on husbands. They are like antiques What you get for them depends altogether on how much they have tuken the fancy of the party of the second part and how eager she is for that par ticular plece of bric-a-brac. But even if the betrayed wife took the minimum { rate of $300 set by the Western lady upon her clalm, she doesn’t make such 4 bad bavgain e e e With $300 she can go to the movies 600 times, whereas that sort of a husband never takes her to any place of amusement at all. With $300 she buy approximately a box of candy for every day in the year, whereas kind of a husband has not brought her a nickel bag of gum drops in & | years. With $300 she can buy her a love of a dress and a duck of a hat and a dream of a cloak, out of which she can get the peace that passes all under- eus the likelihood is that she hasn't had a real good new frock a minute’s solid satisfaction for years. JRILAPS to romantic and high-strung ladies, who are quick on the trigger this may seem o sordld view to take of the situation, but before they are done with it they find that murder is a messy thing to be mixed up in.

Do not| difficulties of asepsis by sclentific and practical instruction. The main underlying or tunda- mental principle of asepsis, surgical, medical or sanitary, is a fact which not only the laity, but a good many of old-time doctors fail to compre- hend. namely, that germs cannot travel about of their own activity; they have to be carrfed by something or somebody. The practice of asepsis, surgical, medical or sanitary, really amounts to nothing else than making certaln that no germs shall be car- ried to or from a glven place. It must be obvious, then, that in order to make certain of that, the responsi- ble {ndividual must have a pretty sound practical knowledge of the blology of microscoplc organisms and of modes of infection. I saild a moment ago that the lay- men’s faith in antiseptic medicaments is not only foolish, but in effect dan- The danger lies not so much in the {njury done by the antiseptics applied, but in the neglect of proper treatment while waiting for the anti- septic to do what no such agent can do. In this respect antlseptic medica- ments are like cough dope and alco- hollc nostrums—they make the vic. tim forget or underestimate the grav- ity of his situation until his allment or infection has taken a pretty firm | hold upon him, and whatever “sets in” he has at least the satisfaction of having saved nearly enough on doctor bills to pay for the nostrums he has used.

Thanksgiving Salad. Grapefruit salad for Thanksgiving dinner may be made {n several dif- ferent ways, but as it is part of a hearty dinner {t should be kept quite simple. Have the sections of the grapefruit freed from connecting tissue and as firm as possible. Cut the sections in halves and pour over them a little good French dressing. Do this about ten minutes before the salad is needed. Now put a few crisp lettuce leaves on indivildual plates, :nd a tablespoon or two of the grape- add mayonnaise, as this will make the salad too rich for a heavy dinner.

Beat up your eggs well and then do not leave them to go about anything else till your cake be finished, as the eggs, by standing unmixed, will require beating again, which will con- tribute to making your cake heavy. If you intend to put but- ter in your cake, be sure to beat it to a fine cream before you put in your sugar, other- wise it will require double the beating. When boiling preserved eggs, a small hole should be made in the shell with a pin at the large end before placing them in water. This allows the air in the egg to escape when heated and will prevent cracking. Sew a tiny tape on the wrong side of a garment before you embrolder a buttonhole scaliop. This makes a firmer finish.
