When my childrenfirst went to
School we were living in town and
they were dismissed at 11.30 and
came home for dinner. How they
used to rush into the kitchen "hungry
as bears," wash and comb, and be al
ready when their father arrived.
When we came to the farm to live,
school was too far away, so I packed
their lunches At first they like
staying at school during the noon
hour.
But with the season for coats and
caps and mittens, the. cold lunches last
their popularity. A cold lunch may be
very nourishing, but it is not satisfy-
ing in cold weather, and the children
really need something warm.
At first I. thought of consulting th
teacher and the other mothers in re-
gard to serving something hot, but
hesitated. to add to the work of the
busy teacher. I decided to try some-
thing else first,
It happened that we had thick rico
soup with tomato sauce for supper
one night about that time, and one of
the children watched me dish it up
and said, "I wish we might have sorne
of that for our hunch to -morrow."
"Well, I guess you might," I' said.
It is one of. our favorite soups and is
very nourishing. It is made this way:

When I put up the lunches next
morning I put the cold, thick soup in
the bottom of a broad, oblong dinner
pail and laid the wrapped sandwiches
on top of it. The dessert and fruit
went in last.
At noon the children took out the
other articles and put the soup on the
stove to heat.- At night they were
very enthusiastic over their warm
lunch, and I found that I had started
something, for they all wanted to
know. what they could take to warm
an the following day.
So I began saving out something
from supper or breakfast, or making
something extra to put in the lunch
pail to be warmed. Sometimes a small
granite dish of baked beans, some-
times scalloped potatoes, creamed car-
rots or turnips, macaroni and tomato
sauce, stewed meat with vegetables,
mashed potatoes atoes with gravy, or some
of the rice soup.
Every day that winter the children
had something to warm in their school
lunch. On mild ways and cold days,
in sunny weather and stormy weather,
when there was a path to follow and
when they had to break their own, the
children went to school. They were
not sick once and never missed a day.
Just how much the warm lunch had
to do with it I cannot say, but I be-
lieve it helped and they never went
Unwillingly to school. And when their
father and I sat down to our own
warm dinner we ate with more relish,

An Invention That Has.

Next to the typewriter, nothing has

roach as shorthand. It must have
saved, millions of money to business
men theworld over, and gained a tre-
mendous increase In revenue for the
Post Office, for .whereas formerly a
man aright spend a whole afternoon
distating three or four lettere to a'
long -hand writer, today scores of .
communications can betaken down in

Used by the Romans.
Though shorthand play such a won•,
derfui part in our lives, most people
know nothing, or practically, nothing,
of its fascinating history. How many •
are aware, for instance, that the an.
tient Romans employed it with sue -
cess., or that many pioneers• had pro-
duced various systems long before Sir
Isaac Pitman came upon the scene
with his more p=•acticable method?
The system of shorthand used by
tiro ancients pro hably consisted of con-
tractions of words. The first real
shorthand known to Britain made its
appearance in 1588, when Timothy
Bright brought his invention before
the public. This system enjoyed eon-
ederabie popularity, and it Is said that
some of Sh'akespeareer plays were
transcribed from it.
Many other methods of "secret writ-
ing," *8 shorthand was cal'e1 111 those
days, made their appearance within
the next few years, One, the work of
John Willis, was employed by Samuel
Pepys, the famous diarist, After
Pepy's death his diary had to be tran-
scribed before it could be publtshed•
Reporting in Parliament.
Charles Dickens, when he was 'a
soleltor's clerk, tried to learn short-
hand. IIe tried a system produced by
Gurney, and Ills inpre.eione may be
gathered from the fact that he tirade
David Copperfleld say that shorthand
was "about equal to the mastery of six
languages," It was Gurney, by the
way, who got shorthand ollleialiy re-
cognized. In 1750 he was appointed
shortha
ncl writer toh
t e Governlneut.
A number of his descendants also held
the post, and Gurney's shorthand is
still used sometimes in Pailiameut.
Tt•was .1n 1837 that Isaac Pitman
came forward With his method of
stenography which was destined to

first system was very crude, but in
course of time many Improvements
were made. It is interesting to note
that one of those who helped Pitman
was Mr. "Tim" Mealy, the present
Governor-General of the Irish Free
S tate.
Not What They Said.
In a letter to the annual festival of
the Pitman Fellowship recently, Mn
Healy declared that he himself had
written eborthand for fifty years, and
during Sir Isaac Pitman's lifetime had
maintained a correspondence with
him.
About 1877 he suggested to Sir Isaao
that the "Teacher," which in those
early days was a rather crude eohool-
book, required reforming. Sir Isaac
then accepted from Mr, Mealy many
!Slustratfone for the new edition:
Sir Isaac' was•, as Mr. Healy tie-
elared, one of the greatest men of his
century.
Many amusing mistakes are record-
ed in connection with•the transcribing
of shorthand notes. Thus Professor
Blackie was once made to comment
upon the "greasy atmosphere" of Edin-
burgh, hereas he had actually said
g y
W
"breezy."
The late Lord Carnarvon was once
reported to have said: "In these days
clergymen are expected to have the
wisdom and learning of a journeyman
tailor," whereas he had referred to
Jeremy Taylor, the famous divine and
author.
