WILHELM THE VAIN.
The German Emperor Is Notoriously
Conceited.
He once wrote a poem which he sub-
mitted for criticism to Ludwig Gang-
hofer, the Bavarian novelist. It was
a shocking piece of dogerel, and Gang-
hofer, after much knitting of brows,
said that the poem seemed to need
alteration in certain respects. With
puzzled face, the Kaiser took theepoem
and read it through, Then his brow
cleared.
"Ah, I. see," he exclaimed; "it re-
quires my signature." And, calling for
a pen, he put in the finishing touch.
On another occasion he needed a
knife to cut the end of his cigar. A
young officer lent him one, and when
he returned it, it was with the words:
"Preserve that carefully. One day it
will be historic."
He has a passion for dressing up.
Uniforms are his delight. It is re-
lated that the Crown Prince one day
found him about to go out, attired in
the full dress of a German admiral.
"Where are you going?" asked the
',Grown Prince. "To the aquarium!"
boomed Wilhelm the vain.
Turned in Disgust.
When the dreadnought Lion went
into action in the North Sea fiat
she had a number of workmen on
board whom it was impossible to put
off before giving chase to the German
cruisers. One of these workmen be-
came panic-stricken, and kept getting
in the sailors' way while they were
preparing for action, imploring them.
to put him ashore. At last one tar
turned in disgust and said to the ter
rified man:—"I suppose you're one of
them blokes at home that are al-
ways wondering what the Navy are
a-doin' of. Now, we're .— well goin'

An old black servant was dusting

Selected Recipes.
Rye Biscuits. --One cup rye flour,
one cup bread :dour, one-half tea-
spoonful salt, five teaspoonfuls bak-
ing powder, two eggs, well beaten,
one cup milk, two tablespoonfuls mo-
lasses. Beat thoroughly, fill hot bet
terecl gem pans two-thirds full 6f the
mixture and bake 25 minutes in hot
oven.
Seur Cream' Cake Filling. — Beat
cup cream until stiff; also white of
one egg, combine the two, add yolk of
eggs, one-half cup powdered sugar.
Nuts, cocoanut, cherries, strawberries.
and peanut butter may be combined
with this filling to place between the
layers of cake and on top.
Molded Spinach Salad.—Cook spin-
ach early in the day, chop fine, sea-
son with salt and popper, and add one
tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
to each cup of spinach. Press firmly
into small molds and place on ice.
Serve on lettuce leaves with French
dressing and garnish with slices of
hard boiled eggs.
To Cream Butter.—Put the requir-
ed amount of butter, in a bowl and
-with a wooden spoon work until soft
and creamy. Pour off any water or
buttermilk which may come from the
'bitter during the process of cream-
ing.. Butter should be creamed for
spreading, on thin slices of sandwich
bread, for making fairy butter or
hard sauce, or for making a butter
cake.
Pea Puree.—Boil a quart of shelled
peas in salt water, with a young
onion, a few sprigs of parsley and six
mint leaves. Rub through a colan-
der and return to the fire, adding half
a cupful of good sugar. When it has
boiled two minutes stir in a table-
spoonful of butter rolled in flour,
cook one minute longer and pour upon
croutons of fried bread dice in the
tureen. .
Housewives can economize on but-
ter by the use of beef fat. One way
of utilizing the fat is the following:
Suet is cut' in small pieces, covered
with Water, 'lil1owed to soak for a
day, the water being changed once.
When drained, it is put in a kettle
with one-half cup skim milk to each
pound of suet, and cooked slowly un-
til sound of boiling has ceased. When
partly cooked the clear fat is drain-
ed from the scraps.
Graham Bread.—Four cups graham
flour, 31/2 cups white flour, 1 table-
spoonful molasses, 3 cups tepid wa-
have the smallest yolks. The equality
of eggs is decided by the dietary. •
, Little savings are by no means to
be scoffed at if we. can have them in
abundance. Let us take care of the
hundreds and thousands and the mil-
lions will take care of themselves.
Patched elbows may easily be avoid-
ed by placing a piece of velvet be-
tween the lining and the material
when the dress is being made. This
hint is especially useful to mothers of
young children."
To 'give a rich, creamy flavor to cof-
fee, before adding the water, mix
well with the dry coffee as much mus-
tard powder as will cover a five -cent
piece and same quantity of salt for
every pint of coffee required.
Sprinkle your roast beef with flour
before roasting; it keeps in the juice.
To brown meat nicely a :very little
brown sugar rubbed on before cook-
ing is a help; the meat should be bait-
ed often. Tainted meat should be
washed in a little vinegar before cook-
ing.
When windows are difficult to open
or close rub the cords with a little
soft soap. Try rubbing a little yellow
soap on anything that is rather hard
to work on a machine, and it will be
found to go much easier. Always
keep a piece of soap in the machine
j drawer; it is very handy for that
purpose.
Starched collars often get the
studhole broken before they are half
worn out. To make them wear longer
sew a piece of fine white tape neatly
across the hole and work new hole
in the tape. If this is done before go-
ing to the laundry they will look quite
neat and tidy when they come back,
and will wear quite a long time.
Every scrap of clean bread not
usable in other ways should be dried
and then ground in a meat chopper.
After this sift it through a strainer
somewhat coarser than a flour sifter.
Reserve the coarse crumbs remaining
in the strainer for meat stuffings or
scalloped fish or vegetables. The fine
crumbs that pass through may be
used for breading chops or oysters or
croquettes. This fine crumb meal also
may take the place of an equal meas-
ure of flour .in muffins, griddle cakes,
etc. Usually it is not best to use
more than one-fourth to one-half of
the crumb meal.

Do You Manage Your Mind or Does

Despite the difficult look of the
word, psychology is a most interesting
and intensely fascinating subject.
Briefly, it is the science which deals
with the extraordinary effect of the
mind on the body.
To make matters clearer, here is a
simple instance of ordinary psycholo-
gical effect You are cycling, and
come to a long, steep hill. If you let
your eyes dwell on the hill and its
length, a feeling of depression and
discouragement at once effects you.
That is communicated to the body,
which instantly tires and loses energy.
The hill, sight,mind, muscles there's
the psychological sequence. But if
you keep your eyes fixed on the road
just ahead, and pedal on, that strange.

GENERAL "DUMPIES."
The Nicknames Given to Some Fa-
mous Generals.
All good soldiers love a nickname.
General French, for example, has at
various times been known as
"Dumpies," "Soda Water Bottle
French;" and "Froggy." Sir Ian
Hamilton has been called "Hippo" and
"Silent Ian." Sir Horace Smi h -Dor
rien is familiarly known as "Smithy."
But French commanders do not get
off scot-free. Napoleon had half a •
hundred sobriquets. He was called
"Nap," and "the ,'little Corporal,"
"Corporal Violet," "L'Autre," and
"Boney." His opponent, Wellington,
was known to fame, of course, as
"The Iron Duke," but few people are
aware of the fact that. he was also,
at one time, commonly referred to as
"Old Bouro," owing to his successful
passage o£ that river,
American soldiers are very apt at
re -christening, and the Civil War pro-
duced a host of changes of name.
Robert E. Lee was "Masse Robert" to
his men. G. H. Thomas was "Old Re-
liable," Philip Kearney "Fighting
Phil" and "One-armed Phil," and Gen-
eral Jubal Early "the Bad Old Man."
Most famous of all, of course, was
the alias of General Jackson. If you
speak nowadaysteabout General Jack-

Whom you are referring. But speak

When one gets weak and run down
the heart becomes affected, the nerves
become unstrung and the least excite-

What is needed is to build iip the heart

Ten talents of silver—The accom-
panying gift, which, according to
Oriental custom, is always indispens-
able on such occasions. The silver
was worth about $18,750 in our mo-
ney. Gold had a value of ten times
that of silver. The "piece" or "she-
kle" was worth about ten dollars.
The six thousand pieces amounted to
about $60,000, making the total gold
and silver gift about $80,000. The
ten changes of raiment were also
very costly. See Gen. 45. 22; 2 Citron.

7. He rent his clothes—The king of
Israel seemed to have less faith than
the king of Syria. But he may well
have trembled, as leprosy was an in-
curable disease, and hence the request
of the Syrian king seemed to be noth-
ing more or less than an attempt to
provoke war.
III. The Message of Elisha
(Verses 8-10, 14).
8. He sent to the king—The news of
the message from the Syrian king was
soon abroad and created fear. When
Elisha hears of it he assuresthe king
of Israel that God is still potent
through his prophets and that, there-
fore, no cause for alarm exists.
