AS TO FALLING IN LOVE THERE ARK SO MANY, MANY WYS OP DOINQ IT. And 80 Great Number Find Whan Tee Late They Have Never Had the True Experience, Having Mistaken Symptoms. , Now of course there la no difficulty about railing In love. Anyone can do - that The difficulty la to know when the lymptoma are true or false, aayi a Pittsburgh Post writer. 80 many people mistake the symptoms, and on ly discover when It la too late that they hare never really had the true experience. Hence the Importance of "calf love," which serves as a sort of apprenticeship to the mystery and en ables you to discriminate between the substance and the shadows. - - People laugh at "calf love," but one might aa well laugh at the wonder of -dawn or the coming of spring. When David Copperfield fell in love with the eldest Miss Larkins he was really in love with the opening universe, and the eldest Miss Larklns happened to be the only available lightning con ductor for his emotion. . -, The Important thing is that you ahould contract "calf love" while you are young. It la like the measles, which la harmless enough, in child hood but apt to be dangerous when you are grown up. The "calf love" of an elderly man is always a disaster. Hence the saying, There la no fool like an old fooL" An elderly man ahould not fall in love. He should walk right into it He should survey the ground carefully, as Mr. Marks did. -, The mistake of "the northern farm er"., was that he applied the aame middle aged caution to youth. "Doan't you maqy for munny, but goa wbeer munny ia," he aaid to his son Sammy who wanted to marry the poor par .qj' daughter. . ; ,-- There ia no barm, of course, In mar rying money. George Borrow said that there were worse ways of making a fortune than marrying one. And per haps it la true, though I don't think Borrow'a experience waa ',, very con vincing. I have known people who "have gone where money was" and bava fallen honestly and rapturously in love, but you have to be very sure that money In such a case Is not the motive. If It la, the penalty never falls to follow. ! . V . v. . . Those who believe in "love at first sight" take the view -that marriages are made in Heaven and that me only come to earth to fulfill our destiny. Johnson, who was an excellent hus band to the elderly Mrs. Porter, spoke with that view and held that love was only the accidence of circumstance, but though that is sensible view, there are cases like those of Dante and Beatrice and Abelard and Heloise, in which the passion doesn't seem to touch the skies. In those, cases, how ever, it rarely enda happily. -' A more humdrum way of falling In love seems better fitted for earthly conditions. The method of Sir Thom as More was perhaps the most unro mantlc on record. He preferred the younger of two sisters and was about to marry her when it occurred to him that It would be very unpleasant for the elder sister to see her junior mar ried before herself. , Thereupon be proposed to the elder and married ber, and as far as I can remember the ex-; perlment waa thoroughly satisfactory. 1 A 81mple Compass. - A watch may be used to determine the points of the compasa by pointing the hour band At the sun any time of the day and then placing a small piece of straight wire crosswise be tween the hour hand and the figure 12, getting exactly, bait way; The point of the wire which cornea between the It and the hour band always points do south. 1 NATIVE LIFE IN NEW GUINEA Maglo,. Marrying and Murder Stem Cloaely Connected Practlcee Among the Innocent Aborigines. The expedition led last year up tht Fly river In British New Guinea by Sir Robert Clarke resulted in the dis covery of some amusing customs, for the members of the party fell In with many who had never seen a white man before. These natives practice magic which they call kurl-kuri which kills men by suggestion. "No man among them," saya Sir Robert, "is supposed to die naturally. The maglo man tells him he is going to die, and he propmtly does die. It may not be all hypnotism. Supposing a man is told that be Is to die from a snake bite, It U not dim cut to make certain of bla death. When a man la dead bta relatives must get a head so that hla spirit will rest in peace. They go out on a mur dering expedition and get their head from the nearest tribe they can sur prise. It doesn't matter to them whether the bead is that of a man, woman or child. "The girls will not marry a man un less be has a certain number of heada and haa killed a man In personal com bat When a new house ia built there must be more killing, because the posts of the house have to be sprinkled with human blood. The hideous war fare never ceases, for a tribe which has been attacked must seek revenge. "The continual fear of surprise at tacks la shown in the character of the house. These were built In the trees. They were rested on scaffold poles fifty to sixty , feet from the ground, were beautifully thatched and were chiefly constructed of palm leavea. They were loopholed In the sides for arrows and holes had been left in the floor through which stones could be dropped on the heads of an enemy. "Large quantities of stones are kept In the houses. These tree dwellers also wear a kind of bamboo cuirass, wnich is arrow-proof and would be shot-proof. The arrows used are about five feet long and are projected from very powerful bows. I don't think a white man could draw their bows. I have known a man to be pierced through by an arrow from a distance of 200 yards." Pittsburgh Dispatch. Ways of Petrograd Police. Count Benckendorff, the Russian ambassador, who is in mourning for the loss of bis son, Count Peter, killed in action, had among hla predecessors in the title one who told a curious story of the thoroughness of the Petrograd. police In the early nine teenth century. He had lost bis pock etbook containing a considerable sum, gave notice and had the money re stored to him within a day or two, without the pocketbook. Shortly aft er he found that the pocketbook, still containing the original notes, was not lost, but bad slipped Into the llnln if bis fur coat Naturally, be arktd whence bad come the restored money. He discovered that the police, rather than admit failure, had collected the money .among themselves. Dundee advertiser. ' Drawbacks of Medieval Meat Much of the medieval meat which Cobbett says was plentiful and cheap must have been poor stuff. Until the introduction of root crops In the eighteenth century cattle and sheep did not become even moderately plump till the end of summer, while lack of fodder made it Impossible to keep much live stock during the win ter. On St. Martin's day (November 11) arrangements were usually made for slaughtering on a large scale, and for the next six months fresh meat worth eating was practically unob tainable. Until the spring grass was again ready there was a run on salt ed beet and salted mutton. Salted beef is excellent for a change. But have you ever tried salted mutton f London Chronicle, DRIED FRUITS IN DESSERTS Properly Used, It May Be Made to fterve la as Good Purpose ' aa the Fresh. Drisd fruit is quite as nice as fresh, but It has been overworked In the al leged interest of economy. It will make a dessert second to none. If properly used. The covered enameled ware easse role la the proper cooking utensil for drleST fruit Let It soak over night and cook very slowly, and It will re gain Its ahape and also Its finest fla vor. In addition It should have aome sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes soaked In Just enough wine to cover them and then cooked In tola way taste like something costly. Apricots cooked with raisins are good. So are dried applea cooked in the good, old fashioned way, In cider. . A mixture of two or three kinds of dried fruit 1 cooked together, Is good. Dried peaches -add a little vanilla to the airup when tbey are done. Dried cherries are not used here to any extent but In Eng land, where the cherry ia an old and famous fruit they are uaed with cur rants In plum cake, and very nice they are. It ia perfectly practicable to use any sort of dried fruit cooked slowly In this way, to add flavor to bread pud dings or steamed puddings. The fruit can be either mixed with the bread pudding or put In the dish wtth the bread on top, or in layers; but when It is used the bread ahould not be soaked In milk; the fruit Juice will make enough moisture, and the bread should merely be soaked enough In water to make it soft, and cooked with the fruit, covered. FOR THE MORNING REPAST Some Dlshee That Are Mere Than Usu ally Acceptable In the Hot Weather. In the summer this meal should be simple and of wholesome, easily di gested food. Of course things must be tasty, and quite as much thought and pains should be expended on a light breakfast as on a heavy one. Foods should be selected In reference to their suitability to one another and the season. The Sunday morning breakfast should be different Banish from the Sunday morning , breakfast table anything that ia served on week day mornings except coffee. Here are a few simple menua which may serve as a guide: . Peaches or stewed pears, bominy, poached eggs on toast, cocoa or coffee. Raspberries or blackberries, tried egg plant toast, coffee. " Blackberries, cream of wheat, mold ed egga, toast coffee. Fruit, cereal, small broiled lamb chops, with cold ' asparagus; rolls, coffee. ' -.- Fruit, cereal, an omelet with peas, asparagus or tomatoes, biscuits, coffee. Fruit cereal, a well-soaked salt mackerel, boiled or broiled, with a cream parsley sauce; rolls, cocoa or coffee. Fruit, cereal, creamed dried beef, muffins, coffee. Chop fine a cupful of dried beef. Put over the fire witb one gill of cream or milk. Season with pepper and stir in four beaten eggs. When thick turn over squares of hot buttered toast. , ; ; '. ' ' " , ' Bake Vegetables. Do not boll vegetables In the old fashioned way and throw away most of the substance in the water, Cook them In the oven and pre serve the flavor and prevent odors in the house. , This last Is especially true of ssuqr kraut cabbage and onions. If you have no casserole cook them ' In a granite pan, placed In a pan of water in the oven. If to be aerved with a cream sauce, pour a thin sauce over the raw vegetables and cook till ten der, or cook with butter or meat fry inga or bacon. KILL ENEMY OF BABY DUTY OF ALL IS TO DO AWAY WITH THE LV. Aa Disseminator of Dlaease It la Recognised That Thle Peat Can ' In No Way Find an ' Equal. (Prteerai t ttw ChlMns's BurMtt, Oilltd StatM Dwpartmmt ( Labor.) No one likes to have single By and, much less, a swarm of them buss tag about him, or lighting on hla food. But ia addition to being a nuisance, the fly is also a real source of danger, owing to the fact that be may carry the germs of disease from the sick to the well. Typhoid fever ia known to be distributed in this way, and It la believed that other forma of illness. Including diarrhea, are also carried about on the hairy feet and legi of the ordinary boua or "typhoid" fly. On this account, it la especially the baby who needa to be protected from flies. Awake or asleep, he needs it Hla milk should be kept out of tbetr reach, and his bed or hla sleeping room ahould be carefully screened agalnat them, If It la not possible to have the whole house and the porch screened. The flies that get Into the bouse In spite of screens should be trapped, poisoned or swatted, but far more ef fective than any of these measures la that of destroying the fly larvae before tbey batch Into full-grown flies. The favorite breeding place If the common house fly Is In horse manure. In pile of a thousand pounds there may be halt a million maggots ready to hatch, unless they are deatroyed In the larval stage, as the eggs are called. Various substances have been sug gested for use upon horse manure In order to deatroy the fly maggots. Among these are Iron sulphate, kero sene, chloride of lime, hellebore and borax. Some of these are too expen sive for continued use, and aome, such as borax, when used In too large quan tities, may be injurious to the crops upon which the manure ao treated Is used. The United States department of agriculture haa receutly recommended powdered hellebore as a cheap, safe and effective aubstsnce for the treat ment of manure. "One-half pound of powdered hellebore mixed with ten gallons of water Is sufficient to kill the larvae in eight bushels, or ten cublo feet of manure. In most places belle bore la obtainable In 100-pound lots at a cost of 11 cents a pound. This makes the cost of the treatment a little lesa than aeven-tenths of a cent per bushel of manure. A liberal estimate of the output of manure Is two bushels a day per horse." After the summer haa advanced, the effort must be made to keep each Indi vidual home aa free from the pest aa can be done with screens, fly papers, traps and swatters. Garbage pails must be kept cov-' ered, and no refuse of any sort should be allowed to accumulate about the premises, to provide breeding and feeding placea. Aa In most other things, prevention Is far better than cure; the time for preventive meas ures to be moot effective la In April and May, when the Ay crop Is small. There are a great many kinds of fly traps on the market Such traps csn be made at home with little trouble, and the department of agriculture, Washington, will send directions upon request not only for trapa, but for metboda of destroying the eggs be fore they hatch Into flies.
