They were like sweethearts at their
first porting—they were sweethearts.
Actually there Were tears tit Phil-;
ippa's blue eyes; two days Were so
long,
"Tell Grandmums not to mind

"Lean nothing! I shah tell her to

aren't you going to let me kiss you
good-bye?"
His destination proved to be et de,-;
lightful littio hamlet of fine old white
houses set among many trees. In one
of those houses lived poor declining
Grandmumo and Luther inquired of
the station master which house.
"Mi_' Moody—Angelina Moody,
you mean? Well, now I don't be-
lieve you'll- find Angelina to home
this afternoon. Alf! Alf!" booming
a deep call to a man in bite jeans
at the end of the platform, "Angelina
Moody went over to Tilden, diin't
she. along 'gout two noun; ago? You
see her go past, didn't you, Alf ?"
To Luther's mystif ention the an-,
ewer of Alf was delivered to the ,
form of an open wink followed- by a l
distinct and carrying chuckle. The;
station master laughed erjoyingly. j
"That's right—she's over to Til-,
den. You'll find her over there, mis-
ter. Tilden's our county town;
court's settin' over there. Anyelina'll
be at the court ]rouse --she had busi-
ness over to enure, didn't she, Alf?"
Again the wink. again the chuekle.
Luther began to feel wrathful—like,
doubling up his fists and pitching'
into these two grinners, In defense!
of Angelina Moody who was indubit- I
ably Granienunrs. But the station
masters next remark delivered in
tones of admiring pride saved the
station master. "She's great, An-
gelina is! She'll get the best of
them!"
"Is TiIdan`'far from here? Can I
get conveyance there?"
"Sure you can, mister. I'll take
you over myself—only two miles by
the Mill road. Alf, you stay around
till the six o'clock, will ye? An' say,
you can deliver them two expresses
over to Angelica's while you're
vraitingl"
All the es -ay over the Mill road
the station m -Aster was pleasantly
communicative but only his first re-
mark remained in Luther';; mind. Re-
mained? It took hold violently,
winked and grinned at him.
"Yes, sir. everybody our way was

"Order in the eourt! The defend-,

ing about that feature of it, the
amount of work we see and our state
of mind concerning it. Don't some
of us conscientious housekeepers see
too much? Isn't that what tires us?
Honestly, is it the quantity of work -
you have done that keeps you toss-
ing about nights, or the worrying
over what you should have done, and,
didn't do? Doesn't it tire you morel
to think about what you should do,1
than actually to do the regular day's
tasks.
Aren't housekeepers s ee ers a a rule
especially if there are children,)
troubled with the overwork habit?
Don't they spend too much time at
hard labor and not enough at play?'
No one knows better than I that you
could work every hour of the twenty-
four and still not get everything
done. But on the other hand, haven't
you found when you did plan to get
a little play spell that you worked
all the better for it? You could
work with a better spirit while pre-
paring for the holiday, and after it
you came back with quickened wits
and a new zest for the ordinary,
humdrum duties.
It has been some time since I was
a country school teacher, but I still
have a pleasant memory of one home
in which I lived a year. And the
memory is not because of the won-
derful cookery or perfect house-
keeping, though no one could find
fault -with them. It was a busy
farm home, with three active chil-
dren, and we all know that spells
work. But every clay, rain or shine,
haying, harvest, or slack time, there
was a half hour for a "sing." Every-
one got around the little five-oetave
organ and someone played while
every one sang. There were no
Carusos nor Melbas in the group, but
the singing pleased us all the better
because we did it ourselves and we
all felt it. We sang because we liked
to and the words had a definite
meaning to us. No jazz nor "Ha-
waiian Dreams," in fact, no ragtime
of any sort. So you see it was quite
a while ago. For the most part we
sang gospel hymns with an occa-
I although behind the gold-bowed,sional patriotic song. Possibly we
spectarles much wos going on. sang off key, I know one of us did,

Step -Saving Hints.
For years I worked in a large kit-
chen—in a kitchen which was even
larger than our dining room. It was
used for almost everything—as a
meeting place for the men who were
waiting for their meals, as well as
for a laundry.
When we had saved up enough to
fix over our house, I determined that
I would have the kitchen the way I
wanted it. It would be my warn -
shop and not a place to do general
chores. I decided to adopt the effi-
ciency measures used in business. If
tiine and energy could be saved by
routing work in an orderly and sys-
tematie manner in factories, why
not in my kitchen? My new kitchen
should be arranged so that steps
would not have to be retraced.
So now my husband has an office
where the men wait for meals, and
the laundry work is done in a sep-
arate room provided for that pur-
pose, Both the men and I find this
arrangement much more pleasant.
I use my kitchen noW almost ex-
clusively for the work for which it
was intended—the preparing and
clearing away of meals. In the ar-
rangement I followed a plan recom-
mended by a domestic science spec-
ialist whom I know, and I have
found it a great time and step saver,
In preparing a meal the raw food
and utensils arep laced to the left
of the stove. The serving table used
for assembling the dishes for the
dining room is to the right of the
stove, The soiled dishes are brought
from the dining room to the right
side of the sink, where they are
washed. They are drained on the
left side of the sink. The cupboard
for the china is near the dining room
and the cooking utensils are placed
close to the stove.
This same specialist told me the
following important points about
kitchens in general, and as I follow-
ed most of the suggestions in build-
ing my own kitchen I can vouch for
their worth:
"Kitchens are built smaller now
than formerly. In the ideal kitchen
the cupboards are built in the walls.
Kitchen equipment can be placed to
the best advantage in an oblong kit-
chen with windows on two sides. The
woodwork should be plain and fiat,
without panels. In choosing the
color far the Walls the housewife
should be guided by the potation of
the room. A north room needs a
warmer tint than a south room, The
beat floor covering is hardwood or
linoleum, which should be varnished
once a year, and oftener if there ,is
=eh wear, Electricity is the ideal
fuel, but if this is not available, and
wood or coal must be used, provision
should be made to use kerosene or
gasoline In the summer. The use of
a fireless cooker saves fuel.
A ilomokeeper e Profession.
I are a woman sixty-five years old
-- or rather young, for I won't be
called old until I'm u::cless. I own
my own 11013)0 in the town where
my children were born, and I have
an iec•ome that, with painstaking
economy, would suffice for my actu-
al needs.
But. I wanted to do something that
I would occupy me. More than my lit -
I tle l ousciceeping and r3ocial visiting
would do, and also perhaps bring me
a little mmlcy, so I hit upon this
plan: I told my acquaintances who
had children that I'd take care of the
children for them when they wanted
to go out in the afternoon or even-
ing. They were only too glad to
take up my offer, and I soon had to
refuse requests for my services, I
charge 50 cents for an afternoon or
evening, and 7 often make $6 or $6
a week, besides having my mornings
to myself, and time for my own so-
cial cane,
The work is very congenial. I have
not lost any caste on account of it—
every one in the tenni now regards
mi as the teacher -guardian -grand -
=thereof the children. And some-
times, if I do not feel late going out,
the children cone to me. I ant quite
happy, and 1 believe that many other
Kronen of my age w0111d b0 equally
happy in doing the same thing,

OF GOOD HOPE
ALL -PATI, ROUT.: I'OP3.1U3LE IN
TIII'l NEAR. FUTURE
'1'tin:tels Under the Englir.h Channel
and MM .:pores Would Pave Way
For Marvellous Railroad.
13y the time that trains aro run-
niug under the Brit!elt Channel, con-
eecling 1,nodon with Paris—which
ought to he within half a Mozell years
from now --there is likely to be a
tunnel beneath the 1)0sporue.
With these two borings accom-
plished, it will be entirely practicable
to establish an all -rail route from
London to the Crape of Good Hope,
running clear across Europa and the
whole length of Africa. Cecil Rhodes's
"Cape to Cairo" dream may be 'far
outdone by accomplished fact.
Suggestion has been made of a
tunnel beneath the Straits of Gib-
raltar; lent it ought to be obvious
that such a scheme, while extremely
expensive, would have no compensat-
ing value. Its only important useful-
ness would be to connect France with
her African possessions, and, to ac-
complish this, she would be obliged
to pass through Spanish territory.
On the other hand, the Bosporus
route would go by way of Mesopo-
tamia and Palestine, running at all
points through thickly populated re-
gions, making Jerusalem an import-
ant junction and traffic centre, and
thence striking Cairo with a jump
over the Suez Canal.
Eighteen Miles Across Bosporus.
The Bosporus might be called a.
natural canal, luckily fashioned by
geologic forces in such a way as to
connect the Sea of Malmora with the
Black Sea. It probably represents
an ancient "fault line" in the earth's
crust, where Asia was . broken off
from Europe incidentally to some big
terrestrial disturbance.
It is a narrow strait eighteen miles
long, at one place only 800 yards
wide, but nearly 400 feet deep hi
mid -channel. Thus the projected
tunnel will have to be dug far down
to pass under its bottom. In view of
the further possil?ility that the rock -
structure beneath the strait may
prove broken and unstable (owing to
the "faulting" above mentioned), it
is possible that it will be found ex-
pedient to bridge the Bosporus—
difficult though the problem would be
—rather than to bore under it.
The scenery along the strait is un-
surpassed in beauty anywhere in the
world, the wooded heights, on either
hand sprinkled with picturesque vil-
lages, while on the European side are
many palatial residences of citizens
of Constantinople.
