I like the way we country folks go a-visitiiij with the whole family; but haven't you often felt sorry for the little folks who found "just talk" tire- some and stupid? For•this reason we fixed up on our stair landing what is called our Kiddie Korner; It is fur-' nished oily with a small bookcase holding a yaried asortment of chil- dren's books, and one shelf is devoted to crayons, seissors and discarded a magazines which may be eut up for paper dolls or colored at will.

Many things may be prepared the night before that will assist greatly in the preparation and serving of the morning meal; coffee may be ground and measured into the percolator; cold boiled potatoes may be chopped for hash or for frying; hominy, oat- meal or rice may be looked over, wash- ed where necessary, placed in the double boiler, boiled a few minutes then placed in the fireless cooker where the coking process goes on with- out any further attention. Ingredients for the griddle cakes, waffles or muff- ins may be measured out and placed ready to hand, and eggs and butter placed conveniently near. Syrup and cream jugs may be filled, ham or ba- con sliced and trimmed ready for the broiler. If toast is to be served, the bread may be sliced and placed on the rack, all ready to be slipped into the oven and daintily browned quickly and evenly while we are waiting for the hash to brown or kettle to boil. Baked apples or baked apple sauce comes in nicely for breakfast and is extremely appetizing and healthful. We usually manage to have fruit of some kind, either cooked or fresh, for breakfast the year 'round. Fried corn meal or graham mush are old stand- bys and are quickly fried to a nice brown, if a tittle milk or a spoonful of sugar is added to the water when the mush is being made. By frying quick- ly the mush is never soggy or greasy. Serve it piping hot with a little minced green pepper or parsley sprinkled over the top. It requires a deal of care and thought to prepare a suitable break- fast when mornings are frosty and tempers are walking the tight -rope. The table should be made as neat and dainty se possible, no haphazard ar- rangement of dishes or food. The cloth should be spotless and free from wrinkles. The food should be tempt- ingly and daintily arranged on clean dishes. Leftovers should he thor- oughly disguised, well seasoned and daintily served. Cleanliness and orderliness are two things that must not be dispensed with, and a row of happy, smiling faces around the board ie ample com- pensation to the careful housemother for all extra care and forethought re- quired to prepare and serve such a tempting meal.

Perhaps the beet of the yarns is the following: There was only one compositor is the Tribune office who could read 9 Greeley's copy, • One day while the compositor was out a bird had flown t into the office, walked into some print- ing ink and then on a number of loose sheets lying on. the floor. "Why," said one of theprinters, picking up a sheet, "'this' looks like the old -man'e writing." So saying, he fastened the sheets together and put them on the absent compositor's ease. Presently the compositor came back and with all eyes turner on him picked up the sheets and to the amazement of. the room started setting up the sup- posed '"Copy." Presently, however, he hesitated at a word and asked the man nearest him what It was, "How should I know?" was the re- ply. You know that you alone can read the old man's writing. Better ask him." Reluctantly the baffled compositor took the sheet to Greeley's sanctum. "Well," said the great man, "what is !t?" A SIMPLE SCHOOL, OR HOME FROCK. 4874.

The merit of their adoption be- longs to the Doge Orsola, who at the wedding of his son' prodilced a sliver` fork and a gold spoon. It excited great comment and added much to the already great reputation of the doge as a gourmand' of great ex• travagance, The device was vert much ridiculed at the time, • Oreola is now famous, bet when he was held in Contempt. Elected unanimously by the' people, they got tired of him after hehad been their rifler for five or six years and they rose and murdered him. Three hundred years later the fork reached France, like other gastrono- mic ideas of the 'Italians. John the Duke of Burgundy was the first Frenchman to use then. History re- cords that he hryd two forks, of which he was very proud. He himself used one and offered the other to his most distinguished guest, but they usually preferred to use their lingers, having a contempt for the Italian fashion. At that time loaves wore made round, and they were cut in slices_, which were piled by the side of the carver, who was called "rimier tren- chant' or "cutting squire." He had a pointed carving knife and a skewer of drawn sliver or gold which he stuck into the joint Having ccpt off a slice he took It on the point of the knife and placed the slice of meat on a slice of breed and handed it to the guests, who took the morsels with their fingers and-bulched 1t as we do sandwiches. The neat al- ways had a piece of paper or cloth wrapped around it, of which the carver would take hold when cutting the meat. This custom still survives in some parts of Germany and Italy, The oldest English fork known is of silver and bears the date et 1610, when it was evidently given as a present. For a long time after the lutrodut. tion of forgs they were regarded as great luxuries, and when a gentleman was invited to dinner in France, before the revolution, It was the custom for him to send his servant ahead with his knife, fork and sroon. If he had no servant he carried . them In his pocket, and on this account they were often made to be folding, Tike a car- penter's rule or a ease knife.

Doctors are realizing more and more that changes of weather cause changes in the human body. They say that ehnshine Murrain, cold and heat, are important factors In our health. The study of the relations between health and weather -has become a new science, which is called "climatology." Different kinds of weather affect dif- ferent people in different ways, but as • a rule we feel better when the sun Is shining, Damp is an enemy of health; a cool, bracing day a friend. Doctors . frequently order their patients a "change of scene," and they are'uow learning hat J g t the benefits of such a change are greater even than they had thought, because u change of scene usually means a change of climate as well. Temperature, the amount of moisture in the air, the height above emolevel---all these thine can affect Our health. Not only has weather a direct in- fluence an our health, but au indirect one else.
