The Bell Bird. r The most retnarkablo thing in con- I nection with the bell bird is Its power-

ful voice. It utters a clear metallic ■ note that can be beard at a distance of 1 three miles. Its noise Is like that pro-

duced by a blacksmith striking bis an- vil. Sometimes It repeats Its notes in quick succession, sometlmos at fairly

1 long Intervals. There Is no mistake r about the voice of this bird; it is loud î and piercing and would be heard 1 above the din produced by every ln- 1 mate of the zoo raising Its voice at

once. Except for a space of naked ? skin on the throat and around the

eyes, which during the breeding sea- f eon is of green color, this bird Is pure " white. The contrast between the sex-

es In the bell birds Is extreme, for, 1 while the male Is pure white, the fe- 1 male Is brownish green. Darwin re-

J fers to the bell bird when he points * out that "white Is a very rare color In I terrestrial species of moderate size

and inoffensive habits."—Pall Mall Ga- zette.

When old uiia Skinner died It w*»

under-stood that til* only child. Billy, would be very rich Indeed, a ih-wk-

paper κ Lu ted that the eatate would

round up f l.OOU.OUO. Scarcely had thin lteui appeared than ail the glrU Billy had ev«r known began to abow hlui attention, and thoae who hadn't hi·

acquaintance sought Introduction· that they might enter the race for Billy and bis million. It waa not long before he counted ten pairs of em- broidered nUppera arranged in u row on a shelf in his closet and twelve dozen handkerchiefs with the letter "8" worked In one corner that hud been sent him by aspirants for his hand.

One night after coming In from the theater Billy sat down to look over his engagement book and found that for the coming week he had lnrited three different girls to go to the opera with him on the same evening was to take out four In his car on one afternoon and was equally entangled as to his calls. Throwing the memorandum book on bis desk, he pushed back his chair and sut in deep thought.

"This thing has gone far enough," he said to himself. "All the girls 1 know want to marry me. and those who don't know me would want to marry me if they did know me. It's got to stop, that's all there is about it—It's

got to stop. But how am I going to stop it? I might have un item pub- lished that my fortune hasn't punned out as well as was expected and In- stead of f.r»0.000 η year I'll have to get on with a beggarly $0,000. This would throw off the girls who want an estab- lishment, but there are lots of them who would argue that a tenth of a louf Is better than none. Besides, I doubt If they would believe the statement, especially If I spend ray Income. No. that plan won't work.

"Suppose I marry one of these girls —that'll settle it. And I might as well marry now ns Inter. It would save me a lot of temptation. I'd have u home to loaf in lnsteud of a club, find I'd be fulfilling the naturul requirements of a properly constituted existence. The beusts and the birds mate—why not man? I'll do it I'll marry one of these girls, and that will head off all the rest.

"But which one shall I marry? There's Lou Clarke, and Ilattie Alien. and Bessie Trnsk, uiid Ilelen WurtteM. and a lot of others. Lou would love me dearly, I know, but she's not very bright, and I might tire of her. Hat- tie, I'm afraid, Is too smart. She would get ahead of me every time. Bess Is a scatter brained creature, always Jok- ing. She's delightful as a companion, but I'm afraid that If my fortune should slip away from me she'd pawn the clock and po on with her Jokes Helen Is too confoundedly serious. She'd always be looking at things In a mat- ter of fact way.

"What a flue thing It would be If 1 could find a girl that should have a fair amount of ull the desirable traits

without having too much of any one of them. She should be Jolly, but se rlous at the eerlous times. She should bo fairly intellectual, so thut I might be able to talk with her on ordinary topics of the day without her telling me every few minutes that sho knew

more than I. She should be fond of children, as I am. Amiability I should

place us her first requisite. "I know a way that I could find out

something about these «jualiliet:tiotix In the woman who would make nu·

α good wife, but I'm afraid the girls wouldn't chime in with it. Wh η

congressman Is lôuded dowu with up

plicutions for West Point or Annapolis what does he do? Why, he submits the matter to competitive examination and gives the appointment to the boy whose papers are the best. It would be Just the thing in my case, but girls are so uppish that they wouldn't sub- mit to it

"Yet I'm not bo certain about that where there Is a million dollars at etake. A girl will knuckle down to a good deal where she has a choice, on the one side, of hammering α type writer all day or cramming knowledge Into the heads of children, who hate knowledge and love candy, and. on the other, of spending her share of $50,· 000 a year. I have « mind to try it"

Taking a pencil, be amused hlniftclf, writing out some questions suitable to his matrimonial purpose. He wrote down a number of them, scratching out some and substituting others or changing his wording, and at last throw down his pencil, apparently quite satisfied with his work. This was his examination list:

first—State what you consider the flret duty of a wife.

••It Pays to Advertise." Fra Elbertus says:— He who imagines that modern adver-

tising is the exploration of the pnblic is a blcuspldati diplidocus and would do well to come out of his comatose state and currycomb his convolutions.

Advertising is the education of the public as to who you are, where you are, »nd what you have to offer, in way of skill, talent or commodity.

Let the truth be known about your business.

The only man who should not adver- tise Is the one who has nothing to offer in way of service, or one who cannot make good.

▲II such should seek the friendly shelter of oblivion, where dwell those who, shrouded In Stygian shades, fore- gather gloom, and are ont of the game.

Not to advertise is to be nominated for membership in the Down-and-out club.

The idea of the "ethical dentist" who refrains from advertising was originally founded on the proposition derived from the medicos that advertising was fakery This view once bad a certain basis in fact, when the only people who adver- tised were transients. The merchant who lived in a town assumed that every one knew where be was and what be had to offer. The doctor tbe same.

This no longer applie*. We are living so fast, and inventing so fast, and chang- ing so fast, and there are so many of us, that he who does not advertise is left to tbe spiders, the cockroaches and the mi- crobes.

The fact that you have all the business you can well manage is no excuse now for not advertising.

The reputation that endures, or tbe in- itiation that lasts, is tbe one that is properly advertised.

Advertising is fast becoming a fine irt. Its theme Is Human Wants, and where, when and how they may be grati- fied. It Interests, inspires, educates—some-

times amuses—informs and thereby up- lifts and benefits, lubrloating existence ind helping the old world on its way to tbe Celestial City of Fine Minds.

THIS AD IS

THE TRUTH and we try to tell the truth—always, we will not exagger- ate. It seems as if the truth isn't good enough to tell about our line of Johnson Trousers.

The plain facts about the quality of them seem to keep us more than busy.

We find it more productive of results to adveitise the Johnson all wool pants at $3.35 per pair, and the Johnson all-wool rainproof pants at $3.50, than to mark them up to $4.00 and $4.25 and then reduce them to $3.50 and $3-75· They are well worth $4.00 and $4.25, but all we ask for them is

$3.25 and $3.50 per pair

They are just the kind for the woods, teaming, etc. A glance at these trousers will tell you more about them than a yard of print. Come in and see them—don't have to buy unless you want to—and if you do buy, you can get your money back if you are not entirely satisfied.

Tobacco Should bo Smoked Up As Soon as it's Cut Up

Then it is bound to be fresh — to smoke cool and

sweet—because the natural moisture hasn't a chance to

escape. That's the reason experienced smokers stick to

the good old Sickle plug—slice off a fresh pipeful as they need it—and get all the original flavor and fragrance that have been pressed in the plug, and kept there by the natural leaf wrapper.

These smokers could save a minute's time by getting their tobacco already cut up—but they know it would also be dried up, would burn fast and bite their tongues.

You'll find solid satisfaction in smoking Sickle. And you'll

get more tobacco, because there is no package to pay for. «Your

dealer sells Sickle.

Margaret's Kitchen. "Indeed, I am proud of my kitchen.

Why shouldn't I be? It la where I do the largest part of my work and I just made up my mind that I was going to have all the little convenience· possible. Come on and let me show you some of the outof-tbe-ordlnary ones."

Margaret opened the refrigerator. It was snowy white. "See that little dish of powdered charcoal? I have never had a single odor in it since I put that charcoal id there."

"Now look at my kitchen table. No oilcloth or paint there for me. I had four coats of white shellac put on it with just a little bit of sandpapering between the coats. See how smooth it is? And whatever you spill on it wipes right off. Hardly anything ever sticks to it. You see all my cupboard shelves jre shellacked also."

"Ob, what dandy measuring cups!" exclaimed one of the friends.

"Yen, I never guess in my cooking. And you bave lo guess with the ordinary cups. You see tbese are marked with

fourths, thirds and ounces. It is so easy to be accurate with them. Ob, say, do your cakes ever stick?"

"I had two spoiled last week," re- p'ied Mrs. Kearney.

"Well, you just try dredging the tins with tlour after greasing them. I bad trouble until 1 did tha'. Now mine never stick

•'See this bali of string banging here? When a package cornea from tbe s ore I nntie tbe string and wrap it around this ball right then and there. You see it hangs here clone to the table. I always have plenty of string bandy. Then 1 put the paper in that banger. They come in handy when I am cleauing a fowl, or to wipe off my stove, and for lots of other things. Oh yes, and the waxed cardboard cracker boxes are the dandiest thiugs for polishing your flat- irons. I never use paraffine any more. JQst rub the iron on a piece of a cracker box.

"Speaking of irons reminds me of a little trick that I have found worth while. When I iron collars, I always roll them up just as they are worn and fasten tbem in that position with a clothespin. They are much nicer when you put them on. You know how often they arj out of shape when left flat after ironing. And this way they seem to jast slip around your neck and drop into their proper shape of their own accord.

"See this little shelf within easy reach of my stove? There I keep these flavors and seasonings that I use frequently while cooking. Of course those that I use mostly while mixing are in tbe cabinet over tbe table.

"I always keep a jar of soft soap handy. It is better than soap or wash- ing powder for dishwashing. Some- times I make it from washing powder, sometimes from tbe little scrape of soap left from washing and tbe bath. Just put them into water and let boil a few minutes or until the soap is melted. A teaepoonful in the dish water cuts the grease fine. There is a perforated soap holder, too, for using up tbe little scrape of soap.

"What in the world have you got that chloroform for?" asked a friend. QMargaret langbed. "Why, the painter was a careless fellow and spattered paint on my windows and several other placée. It waa too dry for turpentine to remove, so I got a little chloroform. You ought to have eoen tbe way it let go when the chloroform touched it. It was ready to come off in about ten eeconde." The reet looked at her in astonishment. They bad never heard of that before.

They were abont to return to the liv- ing room, when Margaret spoke again. "Ob, I want you to see my step-saver!" She opened the door to the basement. At one side was a shelf. "See that obeli?" That is just tbe best thing in the house, almost. Jack thought of that. Every time I find anything that goes to the basement I put it on that fhelf. Then, when I have to run down for something, I just take everything on the shelf. That is, if I can can carry tbem all. Sometimes it is nearly over- loaded."

Recipes.

UAKED DEAN SALAD

Teel aDd «lice very tine four large on- ion*. Pour cold water over tbem and press bard with the band to remove the stroug, acrid taste. Drain well. Place in the salad bowl one and one-half pinte of cold baked beaus, add the onions, a teaspoonful of naît, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls of salad oii, a teaspoonful of white sugar and a small cupful of vinegar. Mix lightly. Serve on lettuce leaves garnished with •liced hard boiled eggs.

RICK CBOql'ETTES Cook ooe-balf capful of rice with one-

half cupful of boiling water in double boiler until water bas been taken up into the rice. Then add one cupful of boil- ing hot milk and cook until rice is soft. Add to the rice, after taking from the Are, one-half teaspoonful salt, the yolks of two eggs and a small piece of butter. Set aside in. spoonfuls to cool, then shape to the fancy and roll in the whites of egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with orange marmalade or plain with lamb and curry sauce.

EMPRESS CREAM

Soften one tableapoonful of granulat- ed gelatine in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water; add one-quarter of a cupful of hot milk, half a cupful of sugar and when sugar and gelatine are entirely dis- solved, strain into a dish set iuto cold water. Beat as it begins to thicken and when light, fold in the stiffly whipped white of one egg, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, a little of the grated lemon rind, half a cupful each of chopped dates, nuts and tig», and half a pint of cream beaten solid. Turn into an ornamental mold, chill in the ice chest and serve nnmolded accompanied by sweetened whipped oream and small fancy cakes.

CRANBERRY CONSERVE This will be found a delicious change

from the ordinary cranberry sauce. Cook a quart of cranberries in barely enough water to float tbem. When ail are broken and the fruit baa cooked to a mush, measure the mixture and add an equal amount of sugar, the fruit pulp of three oranges, one cupful of seeded rai- sins and the grated peel of one orange. Simmer the conserve until very thick and pour into a mold or serve like jam. Thia is especially fine with home-made nut bread.

PEANIT BUTTER ROLL·

Cream together three egga, one cupful of augar and two tablespoonfuls of but- ter. Then add two tablespoonfuls of milk, one cup of sifted flour, one tea- spoonful of baking powder and a little vanilla. Bake in a long tin, and while atlli warm spread with peanut butter and roll up like jelly cake roll. If hot milk ia need in making the cake, it will roll more easily.
