When a lady attends an afternoon party, her husband will wait for supper with pleasure. Aber nit. . Almost every man knows just e nough about cooking to be able to ad vise his wife how to cook. B..t it is a hard job to wash dishes when she is away from home. I A truly good wife is one who loves her husband and her country but does not try to run either. The day before a man gets married Is several hours longer than the day before the rent is due. The man who will take an umbrella to church and leave .tt in the vestibule has the true christian faith. v A woman always feels a secret con tempt for the woman who has on a bargain waist or skirt just like hers. "Thou art fair, but thou art false" the maiden sadly said. Then she laid her blonde hair 'on the dressing table A case of sad domestic infelicity Is reported from an interior tgwn. Just because he did not get up early enough for breakfast, the wife of a teamster emptied a basin of buckwheat over him and as he dodged out of the kitchen, plugged him with the salt cel lar. Me had her arrested for salt and battery. When a woman gives a party it is regarded as a failure unless they have . a lot of guessing contests. Why not have the guests to guess at what con stitutes the filling in a modern sand- ' wich. 'Unless it is plain ham without any frills, can you tell what is a sand wich these days. They are using ev thlng from nuts to table varnish. ; RELIEF FBOM HHKCHATIO PAINS "I suffered with rheumatism for ov er two years," says -Mr. Rollancl Curry, a patrolman, of Key West, Fla., "Some times tt settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times it would be in my feet and hands so was Incapacitated for duty. One night when I was In severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the drug store here and came back with a bot tle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night. 1 kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheumatism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over threa months." For sale by W. P. Mc Millan's Drug Store.

Jottings by a Dairywoman, Tlio butterniakur who 'takes enough pride in her product to stamp it neatO, wrapping each print in paper prepared for the purpose, usually has un article worthy of the care. A tin pall la a very poor receptacle for taking butter to market iu hot weather. A wooden pall or basket does not draw the heat. , How about tlie reputation of the "best buttermaker if her goods "go to the grocery and are placed In contact with the odor of fish, flesh and fowl ? If eho can sell direct to regulai; patrons, un just reflections on her product from this cause are avoided. If one has too little cream for churn ing, It may be converted Into butter of excellent quality by beating in a bowl or crock. Use a fork, spoon or stirring Btlck and keep It very cold. If there Is milk In It, the process ls.too slow to 'be profitable, but with pure cream It la comparatively little work, and there Is no washing of churn afterward. If near a trolley Una, cream can be Bent to the city market and realize more profit than butter In the old way and with less work. Bessie L.
