DENIED ONE PLEASURE
HANDICAP THAT 13 THE ACCOM
PANIMENT OFJIICHES.
Possessor of Great Wealth Debarred
From Owning Anything That la
Difficult to Acquire Joy He
la Doomed to Misa.
Great wealth takes away as many
things from a man as It brings blm, as
serts William Frederick Dlx In the
New York Independent. The man ot
many millions loses one of the .great
jest pleasures In life the zest of own
ership, that sense of satisfaction which
comes with the possession of some
thing which has been longed for and
finally acquired with difficulty.
If something that one possesses can,
If lost or broken, be at once replaced
without the expenditure of anything
that can be missed, It necessarily has
no value, because whether It is lost or
not is immaterial.
This Is a perfectly simple law of hu--man
nature working automatically and
universally. The value of a possession
depends upon the sacrifice required to
obtain it and the difficulty of replacing
It The only exceptions to this are the
things of no intrinsic worth, such as
teirlooms, tokens of love, or souvenirs
with sentimental associations. Those
Are precious but not valuable. The
countless tempting, material things of
life that lure the unwealtby clothes,
toys, books, furniture, pictures, mo
tors, yachts and so on cannot bring
with them the full Joy of possession to
the man who has but to stretch out his
hand to take them.
The fascination ot the Jewelers' win
dow are not for him. He can select
Anything and everything in the shop
'Which he fancies and tuck it Into his
.pocket without pricing It. His secre
tary will draw a check for the bill. He
may fancy these Jewels, but he cannot
prize them, they have no endowment
of charm, because they have been ac
quired without effort and could be re
placed without the slightest inconveni
ence. The rich boy has never known
the ecstasy of owning a pushmoblle
made out of a soap box. The Joy of
laving and planning for, and finally
electing a certain long coveted fish
ing rod, or canoe, or Bet ot books, can
never come to him.
One might say that the pleasure ot
swnershlp is only one ot degree after
. til that the poor man finds pleasure
in owning his cottage and the rich
aian In owning his railroad. Poets
have for ages sung of the Joys of home,
the sweetness of the hearthslde and
the happiness found at the vine clad
cottage door, but have any poets ever
aung the hallowed delights of owning
t chain of rolling mills, or extolled the
oys of the financier as he acquires the
rotlng control ot a railroad system T
How can a man of many millions
noncelve of the delights of digging and
planting a little suburban garden,
planning for it winter evenings with
bis wife's eager help, buying the seeds
and coaxing them during the radiant
summer days into fruitage, when the
nly garden he knows is the vast, for
mal one on his country estate, planned
and built by the landscape architect,
cultivated by foreign gardeners and
rlslted by himself for an occasional
ifter dinner promenade T
It Is not his, he merely transferred a
tew thousand for the title to It The
patting lovingly into place of the seeds,
the weeding and watering and watch
Ing and welcoming of the first shy
shoots are not for him. He does not
lee the timid thrusting out ot tender
green things in the spring, the dawn
f fragrant color as the buds open to
the sunshine, and, finally, the full flow
r and fruit, nor feel the pride of fa
therhood, of ownership, of possession
as he looks over bis garden. Tony or
Hike or Sam have attended to all those
fetalis I And what a world of Joy, of
ieauty and fragrance, what peace and
content, what a feeling of triumph
have his millions robbed him of in the
infolding of that garden!
Why Called "Woolsack."
An appointment to the "Woolsack'
hi synonymous to an appointment to
the lord high chancellorship of Eng
land. The woolsack is a sort of broad,
square, flat, blue cloth divan In the
house of lords and Is supposed to
consist of tightly packed wool. There
are several ot theBe woolsacks placed
in the center aisle ot the house mid
way between the throne and the cross
benches. It Is the one nearest the
throne that is occupied by the lord
high chancellor. The others are re
served for the use of the Judges of
he high court, who sit In the house
of lords for the purpose of giving
legal advice, but who do not vote.
The woolsacks date from ancient
flays, stringent laws were enacted to
prevent the exportation of wool
which was then regarded as the chief
source of the wealth of the 'nation,
and that the importance of this staple
product of the realm might be kept
constantly In mind by the legislators
woolsacks were placed In the house
of peers as seats for the lord high
chancellors and others.
RAINSTORM IN THE DESERT
Grateful Changes That Follow a Del
uge of Icy Water on the
Hot 8ands,
It Is dry on the desert. Dry is the
na'ural condition, yet It Is more than
usually dry. The foothills quiver and
the stunted cedars dance In the uncer
tain light; the rocks seem to twist
and move uneasily; It Is the mirage
of heat. The greasewood is gray with
dust, the gramma graes is brown and
crisp underfoot Drought and despair
seem painted on everything, living and
dead. Is aught living?
There is a cloud in the south. It
peeps dark over the cliff, it spreads
out along the gray wall. Silently,
swiftly it overspreads the desert val
ley. The sun Is hidden. It Is not cool
er for that. It is hotter. We spur our
jaded ponies, they respond wearily;
the sweat rolls off their reeking sides,
Joseph S. Wing writes in the Breed
ers' Gazette. Yet it seems ridiculous
that we should fear rain. It has not
rained for nearly a year.
We hear a low murmur oft In the
south. It echoes and rolls along the
cliff wall. There It is once more and
nearer, louder. Again It rolls out.. It
is thunder not the sharp rattle of an
eastern thunderstorm, but deeper,
more prolonged, more ominous. What
has happened to yonder cliff? It has
disappeared. Instead it is a gray veil.
It is rain at last. And now we are In
the thick of It How it pours! We
pull our sombreros down and crouch
before It. Joy streams course down
our legs. The thirsty earth opens to
take it, but seems in danger of being
washed away.
Hear the rolls of the thunder now
right over our heads. See the blinding
sheets of rain. Are we following the
trail? Let us hasten to cross yonder
arroyo before the flood comes coursing
down It Ah, Just In time! Look, up
the arroyo. See, the wall of water
comes sweeping down. It reaches from
wall to wall, before It roll stones, on
the crest are sticks, logs, brush. It is
death to any man who gets caught in
that turbid flood.
Slowly we plod along over the plain
again. It 1b raining slowly now. Every
drop is soaking In. The range is saved.
Oh, ye of little faith!
The storm has gone. Only thin
cloud wreaths veil yonder peaks. We
ride merrily along, the air cooled and
purified, the afternoon sun drying our
soaked garments. Who thought the
desert wae dead? Already we see the
green hue of gramma grass. We note
tiny flowers; they must have been hid
den by dust before the rain. See the
little squirrels; see the prairie dogs.
When did they get a drink before this?
We are near the cottonwoods by the
river now. -
We shut our eyes. Is this an or
chard in old Ohio? Surely, we hear
the robin chirping? His notes are
brave ones, full of faith, courage.
Then the Ghost Left
The rector of Asfordsby says he has
"laid" a troublesome ghost by the
pomp and ceremony of solemn exor
cism. Archbishop Thompson once ac
complished the same feat in a much
simpler manner.
Staying at a country house with tra
ditions of a family ghost, he web put
up for the night in the "haunted
chamber." In the morning his hosts
were anxious to know if he had seen
anything.
"Oh, yes," he replied, "about twelve
o'clock I heard a knock at the door. I
said, 'Come' in, "come In.' "
"And did he come?"
"Yea, an old sallow looking man.'
"Yes, that is our ghost! What did
you do?"
T got out of bed and asked If he be
longed to the house. He nodded assent
I asked If he were a parishioner. He
nodded again. Then I said, 'I am anx
lous to build some new schools; will
you give me a subscription?' He dis
appeared and I saw no more ot him!"
London Chronicle.
Flowers of Music.
The graces namely, the shake, the
turn, the appoglatura, etc. are the
flowers of music; and the clear, cor
rect, and delicate execution of them
embellishes and exalts every melody
and every passage. But when they
are played stiff, hard, or unintelligibly,
they may rather be compared to blots
ot Ink or spots of dirt. Carl Czerny.
Strictly Up to Date.
Seven-year-old Peggy was drawing,
the picture of a house and finally an
nounced it completed. "But where
are the chimneys?" she was asked.
Peggy's face fell for a moment as she
noticed this Important omission, but
she quickly recovered her presence of
mind. "Oh, this kind ot a house
doesn't need chimneys," she answered
calmly. "It is heated by radiators."

DISHES OF COLD EGGS
WELCOME CHANGES FROM THR
METHODS MOST IN USB.
Are Delicious Served In Asplo Jelly
or Mayonnaise Great Variety of
Hard Boiled With Most At
tractive Decoration.
If a poached egg is to be served cold.
either in asplo Jelly or masked with
mayonnaise in a paper case or pastry
shell, it Is Important that It should be
properly poached. Let a bay leaf sim
mer in the water and add a table-
spoonful of tarragon or plain vinegar.
unless the egg Is poached In a ring
to Insure the white keeping Its shape,
cut the white with a round cooky cut
ter as soon as the egg is cold.
The making of the aspio Jelly does
not entail the work It formerly did,
as the many canned and condensed
beef stocks can be used, with the ad
dition of extra seasonings and gela
tine. A thin layer ot the liquid Jelly
should be poured Into a shallow enam
el pan large enough to hold the nec
essary number of cold poached eggs.
When the Jelly begins to harden lay
the nicely trimmed eggs at regular In
tervals, flat side down.
Pour a little of the liquid Jelly over
the surface of the eggs and arrange,
a circle ot alternate capers and dots
of pickled beet Have four small tri
angles of cold tongue or thinly shaved
lean ham placed at the outer edge,
pointing toward the yolk. Make the
decoration as highly colored as pos
sible, choosing green peppers, cavi
are, truffles or pimento to make a
good showing through the covering of
aspic Pour on the remaining liquid
Jelly and chill thoroughly.
Have ready either cases of paper or
shells of plain pastry. Cut out the
Jellied eggs, UBlng a cutter of a size
to correspond with the case. Remove
the eggs with a cake turner and place
one in each holder. With a pastry
tube pipe a border of mayonnaise
around each.
Hard boiled eggs for cold service
admit of great variety. They are
served either whole or in halves and
In either case the yolk may be re
moved and mixed with any preferred
ingredient, then replaced as a stuffing.
When served whole the stuffed egg
Is masked with slightly stiffened may
onaisse so that tt has the apearance
of not having been cut The elabor
ate decorations are imbedded in this
outer covering and the whole thing
mounted for serving In some attrac
tive way.
A thin slice of Bermuda onion, one
ring removed from -the center, makes
a sufficient hollow In which to set
an egg and a thick slice of cucumber
scooped out to form a little nest. Is
another bit of variety which is appe
tizing and pretty. Half an egg can be
served in similar fashion, the stuffed
yolk rounded well above . the white
and surrounded with a ring of closely
set capers.
Pretty Pudding.
One tablespoonful ' gelatin, one tea
cupful of boiling water, one teacupful
of granulated sugar, whites of four
eggs. Dissolve gelatin and sugar in
boiling water, let stand until cool.
Beat whites of eggs and add to gela
tin, beat till stiff. Now take the
white of one egg, one cupful sugar, a
box of strawberries mashed. Beat
well, serve pink over white.
Uses for Paraffin Wax.
1. When melted and poured over Jel
lies It prevents air from getting into
them.
2. Rubbed on irons, it prevents rust.
. 3. Bottles or fruit Jars dipped In
melted paraffin are air-tight and the
contents will not spoil.
4. Paraffin dropped In starch pre
vents it from sticking.
6. Fruit coated with melted paraffin
will keep almost Indefinitely.
Pineapple 8alad.
Use two pineapples, shredding them
and disposing of core. Put shredded
fruit in glass dish and pour over it
half a pint of powdered sugar mixed
with tablespoonful of lemon Juice. Let
the salad stand for several hours be
fore serving, so as to dissolve sugar.
Serve with mayonnaise or French
dressing.
To Keep 8llver Bright
Always put a lump of camphor Into
the drawer where silver Is kept It
keeps the silver from tarnishing.
Hookworm Disease.
The hookworm disease is so named
from a small parasite which fastens
Itself In the Intestines and preys upon
the system. The name hookworm re
lates to the peculiar structure of the
parasite (which has been named Ne
cator American murderer) and the dis
ease is attributed to low nutrition and
unsanitary conditions.
Swedish Employment Bureau.
The Swedish government operates
public employment bureaus. Their
services are free of charge.
GOOD USE FOR CRABAPPLE
Made Into Preserves to 8erve With
Cold Meat In Winter, There Is
Nothing Nicer.
One peck of crabapples will make
about six quarts. I use the regular
glass fruit Jars and my fruit is kept
in a cellar, where there is a furnace,
and never spoils. Fifty crabapples and
five measuring cups of sugar, VA
cups hot water, will Just fill a quart
Jar and also a pint I find it conven
ient to know about the number, as
it saves time for me. First wash and
pick over fruit Do not peel, but cut
out blow end and stem, also any bad
spots, put on sugar and water to
slowly dissolve. When it Is hot put
In the desired quantity of fruit and
cook till a silver fork will pierce eas
ily, which will take about 20 to 80
minutes. Fill your Jars while mixture
Is boiling hot and cover tightly. I
pick out any that may be bruised or
specked and put them Into spiced vin
egar. For one quart take 1 cups of
sugar, one-half cup vinegar, one-half
cup water, one-half teaspoon cinna
mon, one-quarter teaspoon cloves. Dis
solve sugar In vinegar, put In the
spice and water when hot Put In
fruit and cook till It can be pierced by
a fork. Can when hot Nice to eat
with cold meat Exchange.
When you can not have an egg beat
er try using three forks Instead ot
one.
A coat of clear varnish Is a good
thing 'to give straw matting before It
Is laid.
When cooking beef In a tireless
cooker do not put salt on until the
beef Is done.
If fruits are canned as soon as they
are picked there will be less loss by
fermenting.
Let the white woodwork have plenty
of sunshine. Too much shade makes
It yellow.
To save both time and the cream
In whipping it, whip cream in a pitch
er instead of a bowl. There Is no
chance of a spattering.
When a cloth dress becomes spotted
sponge It with equal parts ot hot wa
ter and turpentine. Iron the parts
when dry over a damp cloth.
Pieces of old kid gloves are excel
lent for mending the back seam of
children's shoes. Sew the patch neat
ly on the inside of the worn place.
To clean lacquered articles, brush
with hot water and mild soap, wiping
and drying before the fire and finish
ing with a soft cloth. Do not use al
kali or soda. It will remove the lac
quer. .
Bed Linen Economy.
It pays to turn sheets at the firt
sign of wear In the middle. It itan
paya to make sheets at home and to
get a ratner light-weight muBlln,
choosing exactly the same weight for
pillow cases. The unworn parts ot
sheets may then be made into pillow
cases. The making of sheets and pil
low cases is a trifling matter, and th
saving on a single sheet is at least
zu cents, to say nothing of the fact
that the quality of the muslin you
buy Is better than the average mate
rial used for ready-made bed linen. If
you have linen sheets and pillow cises
the saving Is more marked. AsM
from the comfort of sheets three yards
long tney were better as they are
not torn or strained In the constant
effort to pull them up.
Towels Cleaned.
Dingy towels may freauentlv h r-
stored to normal whiteness by put
ting in a kettle of cold water, adding
white soap shavings and lemon Juice
and letting come slowly to a boll.
Kinae in tepid water, then blue water
and hang in the sun.
Ochre In Starch.
To keep the color of ecru lace when
washing it, add a little yellow ochre
oil paint to the starch. Mix a small
amount ot the ochre with boiling wa
ter and add it to the starch, or to
the last rinsing water If starch Is not
used.
To Renovate Leather.
For renovating mildew on leather, I
find the following Is very good: Use
a piece of flannel with a little vase
line and rub the mildewed parts.
n Restoring Gilt Braid.
Gilt braid easily becomes tarnlhii
When this happens brush the braid
free from dust and rub a little pow
dered alum well Into it Leave It for
a xew nours, men brush off, and youH
find the braid as bright as new.
Foaming 8auce.
Beat one-half cup butter to a cream,
add on cup sugar, granulated, and
stir till white and foaming. Just be
fore serving pour on one cup boUln
water and stir a moment
