A jokfle knows no birthpl•aoe and no date of birth.

In, the Chinese " Hsiao-L in-Kuang- Chi," or Laughing Book, are jokes that even in their Oriental garb are 'much like jokes we have heard in Western tongues. Two men, Chung and Kung, were warming themselves before an open stove. Chung, who was remarkable for his coolness .and loquacity, said to Kung, who was exceedingly. quick-tempered : "My dear Kung, 'there is some- thing that I should like very much to say to you. It .relates to a cir- cumstance I have observed for a little time past. But, bearing in mind your somewhat fiery and quar- releeme di,sposiation, I have hesitat- ed to mention it to you., However, I have at lase decided that, if. I do not mention the matter to you, I, shall do wrong, ala; I have cense- quen.tly determined to ask your per- mission to speak to you about, it." "Well, what is it? "Your coat, my dear Kung," said Chung, quietly, "is on firs." '`For pity's sake !" exclaimed Kung, angrily, jumping up and find- a ing his coat nearly burned off.

Dried pea and he aOUp, for hietanee, are delicious flavored if bacon is cooked with tl peas or beans. Any roasting meat can be.flavor'e withslices of bacon lajd ever while it is cooking; l3roiled baeo with fish orwith beefsteak is app tieing. A slice or two of baso cooled with string beans or pe gives them an unusual ila,vor. Baeo invariably improves egg dishes:'`k little chopped broiled bacon can b advantageously a4ded to any Me salad and to some of vegetables. And, nowadays, you know man doctors recoinneencl bacon., boil - dry without burning, for sma babies that have hardly beglul t eat solids. But this recomnue.nd tion' had better come from the do tar that knows the baby. The way to cut bacon to adva• ta,ge is to place it on a board wit the rind down. Slice it with z.. ver sharp knife down to the rind,•in tai slices, but do not cut through th. rind. Then run the knife along th rind loosening the slices. The rin can be used to grease griddles wit Cut in this way the slices are eve and thin. Broiled bacon is probably the be.. from a dietetic point of views An many pereons'think it the best fro the point of taste. Bacon can b fried so that it is almost as crisp a bri�iled bacon in this way.; Grease aft iron pan with baco rind and Heat it to the smokin point. Then pert in the slices ,of bacon. Tip the pan at• e'; sharp angle, so that the fat will run down, and with; a fork keep the pieces of bacon from droppiag into the' fab, Turn them two or three times: until. they are crisp and dry and golden brown. Broiled or fried in the way de scribed, and served with eggs, bacon makes a dainty breakfast dish for spring morningd. Coinmeal, boiled, cooled and cut into small, flat cakes, can be"fried quickly a golden brown in bacon fat and served with a crisp ,slice of bacon on each little cake Left -over hominy or rice or any other cereal can be used in the same way. Bacon and cheese toast is a nour- ishing and tempting luncheon dish and one that is suitable also to the informal Sunday night supper. It can be prepared on the table in. two chafing: dishes a.nd an edectrie toaster. In a blazer or saucepan melt three tablespoonfuls of butter and stir in a tablespoonful and •a half of flour. Then add three-quarters of a cupful of rich milk and stir until it thick- ens. In the meantime broil two slices of bacon for each person end make a slice ' of thin brown bread toast for each. When the cream sauce is thick and smooth add half a cupful of grated cheese and as soon as it is melted pour the mix- ture over the slices of toast. Put two slices of the bacon on each piece and serve immediately. A variation an creamed macaroni is this : Boil short lengths of maca- roni in cold salted water until they are tender. Drain them and mix a little butter with them to keep them from sticking together. Put them in. buttered baking dish and pour ver them 'some thick cream sauce nd season with salt and paprika. Chop come : freshly ' boiled crisp bacon: and stir it into the macaroni, sprinkle the top with fine buttered crumbs, and bake brown. Slice the bacon and fry it, letting the fat drain down into one side of the pan. Then put the slice of bacon on ,a little wire rack on a plate or pan in an open oven, or else put them in a wire sieve and. stand them on a pan in. the oven door, where they will keep 'warm. Cub' ,apples in half-inch slices and fry'them 'on each side in the bacon fat. Drain them for a moment on brown paper and then serve' them with a, slice or two of bacon on each piece of apple. The skins should be left on and the cores 'should be removed with an apple corer. Hints To'.itOusewivcs. The best thing for cleaning tin- ware is common socia ; dampen a cloth, dip it in soda and rub the ware brisloly, after which wipe dry. Tightness of boots o shoes can. be relieved by rubbing the shoe well with olive or castor oil while it is on the foot and alloevitig it to dry in, An outdoor cupboard will be found useful and economical during the winter weather.

To remove paint ,stains on cotton or woollen material rub with oil of turpentine and thnl wash with soap- suds. For old paint stains ;cover the marks with olive oil and thee. rub with commeroia1 elilaroforna Never .have linen starched if. 'you' are going to put it away for long tune. It is apt to crack and even rot, Rinse the articles quite ,free from etarch, dry and fold`u•p in blue paper, ae this keeps them from turning yellow. To remove perspiration stains on. white dresses and underclothing first dampen tae article wvith : a little lemon - juice before it is pot into soap and water. Otherwise, the soap sets the stain, and very often makes it almost impossible to remove. Furniture polish should never be applied to furniture unless it has first been washed with plain luke- warm water and dried with linen cloths. Not O1lly is :a higher polish possible but the work is lessened, and 'there is small chance of finger- marks. The labor of boot cleaning may be greatly reduced by ,the aid of a little glycerine, First brll,;ih the boots free of dust, and then apply a small quan'bity of glycerine with a rag. Let: thein ;stand for ten minutes, (then polish" with a brush. Boots treated in this way keep their polish several days and no blacking is required. To stop a chimney burning, close the doors and throw two or three handfuls of salt on the • fire. The reason for the efficacy of ihis method is that salt generates muriatic acid gas, which is a prompt .extinguisher of fi°l'e. If !the entrance • to' the ohilnney be constantly l3wept round when the grate is eleaned, -the danger of fire is reduced to: a minimum. The tissue paper which comes. into the house around gifts or in suit boxes, if folded and put into the drawer with the dish towels, will be most useful to polish glassware of all sorts including chi nnneye. To free the hands from disagree- able odors such as that "of onions, tad -liver .oil, etc., mix a little ground dry mustard with w'arm water and wash the hands well with it. The .saucers -of ecales or vessels used in cooking can be freed from odors by the same method. A good recipe to follow in whip- ping cream is the . following : Mix one quart of heavy cream and one cupful of milk. Beat until stiff, us- ing an egg -beater. Add one-half cupful of powdered sugar, a few grains of salt and 'two teaspoonfuls of vanilla. When making molds it is we'll to remember that the starchy foods lthey contain must be'thoroughly caoked. Some cooks consider corn- starch ' is done the moment itthick- ens. This is not the case. You should always Book cornstarch at least five minutes after it thickens. When custards are wanted' in a hurIy it is often difficult to serve in a glass dish - without run- ning the risk of breaking the dish. To prevent this niake the custard in the ordinary way; turn the ea -.,s dish for a few minut e, s over a. basin of boiling wester or steam. • The custard can be safely. poured in without the risk of break- ing the dish.

Lady Londonderry, wife of the Marquess of Londonderry, who is said to have visited the soldier's camps in Ireland lately and is cre- dited with using her influence to make the Trishofficers resign, is one of the famously beautiful women of England.

Meredith, when he would impress you with the wayhis heroine enters a room made her `swim'.; Lady Londonderry `sails.'' The phrase is stale; but it suits her too; well to be abandoned. Famous- ly beautiful, her features have the neatness of •well-builded bows; her face is clear cut as a putter; her lines more shapely than a linen'. Before the day of musical comedy and the arrival of the, Maida Vale type of beauty, the photographs of Lady Londonderry filled the shop.. windows of Mayfair. With: Lady Warwick , and Mary Anderson, she was worshipped in large editions of. `cabinets' . ,and `midgets,' and took her place as a matter of course in the nation's albums.

The present Lady Lon- donderry is 'sometimes a little sad that she has never been called upon to do the same.. Her husband'saf- fairs are desperiitely secure; there is the greatest possible danger that they will never be endangered. But. in other ways Lady Londonderry has played her part to the full. A daughter of the : late Lord Shrews- bury, she married before: she was twenty, •incl her father's jest about "The Taming of the Shrewsbury" was like most family jests, wide of the mark. She was soon at work; a difficult period at Dublin Castle as Vicereine was followed immedi- atelyy by the political life of Lon- don, with English and Trish chari-,, ties into the bargain.

While the opium habit has not been tincorimon since the 'days of DeQuinoy and Coleridge, says Dr. GeorgeaW. Geier, use of morphine, either by the mouth or through the hypederric syringe gradually sue- cceded opium, because it was easier to take, and, with the aid of the hypodermic syringe, much more rapid in its effect, With the growth of luxury, and -bale develipment of excesses consequent upon the move - went of the population from the country toathc cities, and the de- mand for rapid intoxication and excitation, morphine proved to be' a drug too slow in its action, and cocaine rapidly grew in favor with' those searching for mental ane physical rest or forgetfulness. This drug, either because it is more ex- pensive, and for other reasons, has been replaced by heroin, a deriva- tive of lnorptine, and we now find ;not only men and women, but the young, even boys and girls, re; usorting to the intoxication to be rapidly obtained by the use of this habit-forming drug. ' No exact data exist relating to the increasing use of these recent habit-forming druge, -which .are of great danger, use by increasing number's of ;persons can be allows' in the discussion of habit-forming drugs evhich take place in current journals : and among physicians. These rdrugs-find their way . into innocent use, sometimes through the physician who prescribes them and neglects to inform himself and his patient not only ishe giving the patient habit-forming drugs which are of great danger, especially when giving heroin, which is quite . as dangerous as morphine, ' because it is cheaper, easy to obtain and quite as easy to use. Like cocaine, it is often taken by snuffing, and in an habitue who takes the drug' in this manner ail examination ' of the mucous membrane of :the nose will sometimes show characteristic changes item -the eauiiing of the dry drug, that are Aquite as narked as the hypodermic needle pricks on the arms described,•by- Conan Doyle in,.

It is lotted in eougih mixtures and various other so-called simple remedies, and most of allin catarrh cures. In this way its use is often unintentionally be- gun. Personal comfort, desire for food, the demands of personal' and moral decency, are all held in abey- ance of the desire for satisfying doses of the drug. When its use is per.tisbed in, as it sometimes is, it leads to- the frenzy of desire, the delirium of exhiliaration and the mania of despair. There 'is just one thing to do with these habit-forming drugs to pre- vent their-increasng use by the people, especially by minors, and that is to take their manufacture and sale away from both manufac- turing wholesale an&jet'iil drug- gists, ' and pot their manufacture ,and ,sale into tha hands of the Federal government; and, further, to provide that no • habit -farming. drug shall be sold save on a, phy- sician's prescription, and to compel every physician to ,have a. special license for their ase, this license t•c be revoked by federal authority fox cause. 3' EAGER TO WORK Ilcliltll Regained by Right .Fared.
