But Times Have Changed.
Vassar college, the pioneer American
institution for the higher education of
women, was founded by Matthew Vas
sar, a wealthy Poughkeepsie brewer.
Having accumulated a fortune, and
being without children. Matthew Vas
sar decided to devote the greater part
of his wealth to the establishment of
some public institution. It was at the
suggestion of his niece. Miss Booth, a
successful teacher of girls, that he was
induced to found a college for young
women, for which he gave $408,000 in
1861. and other sums aggregating as
much more before his death and by be
quests. When Vassar was opened the
institution was denounced by many
women and numerous clergymen, who
proved to their own satisfaction that a
college for women was an insult to
God! One prominent woman said: "Os
one thing we may be sure —no refined
Christian mother will ever semi her
daughters to Vassar college! The
mere fact that it is called a •college for
women - is enough to condemn it !"
Earliest Form of Bread.
Lotus bread was not the oldest form
of bread by many centuries. The ear
liest bread was probably made of
crushed acorns and beechnuts. Grind
ing the grains, seeds or nuts, generally
called "milling" was. in the earliest
times of which there is written record,
an integral part of bread-making. In
Genesis it is written that Abraham
bids his wife Sarah "make ready quick
ly three measures of tine meal, knead
it and make cakes upon the hearth.”
It is not to be inferred that the an
cient Egyptians used lotus bread alto
gether. They ground up a number of
varieties of grain, among these being
millet, and they baked loaves like mod
ern muttins. It has also been proved
that they ate hot rolls and that in
some cases these were sprinkled with
sweet-smelling and pleasant-tasting
seeds.
What’s More, It Has Two of Them.
Little Eva lived in Brooklyn. When
her father told her he would take her
on a trip up the river she was de
lighted, she had heard so much about
the beautiful Hudson. As they were
nearing New York on their return he
asked her what she thought of it. She
replied, "Why. papa. 1 think the river
is just like any other river, but the
sides are pretty."—Christian Herald.
The Efficient Person.
The efficient man Is never flustered,
worried nor spectacular. He under
takes what he plans he can accomplish,
and then goes ahead and does It. He
is never hurried, but every step counts,
and what he does is the result of the
least expenditure of time and energy.

VELVET BEANS
Save them for feed or fertilizer.
I grind them for “the eighth” in the
hull. Money toll if vine and all.
I have the only successful machine in
the county for grinding velvet beans and
corn in the shuck.
Come and see. We also have everything
in merchandise.

Drop at a Time Saves Dime.
In the Woman's Home Companion a
writer says: “In pouring peroxide
from the bottle on a small cut or
; scratch. I noticed that a great deal
of it was usually spilled—not always
on the injured member. Since using
: a n Heine dropper 1 have hnd no
trouble in appb mg it in the right
place, even with the left hand. This
is a very new ‘find’ of mine, so it hasn’t
done it yet. but it is going to save me
half a bottle of peroxide.”

Frankly Selfish.
We know one thoughtful grandmoth

Meerschaum Houses.
Even the most esthetically inclined
of our American millionaires would
hardly consider the luxury of living in
a palace built of meerschaum as with
in the range of their fortunes, yet there
are many unpretentious houses of this
material in the Spanish town of Val
lecas. near Madrid, where a coarse va
riety of this substance is to be found.

Cut Flowers Need Air.
If cut flowers are squeezed into a
vase s<> tightly that the air is exclud
ed they will be smothered to death.
That is the reason why many bou
quets do not last as long as they
■ should. A wide-mouthed vase is the
! best kind to use because it admits
; oxygen tn plenty. Tall, slender vases
I are very attractive for iong-stemed
! flowers like carnations. but they have
I one fault —the water in them becomes
I warm very quickly, and this warmth
. is transmitted to the flowers, causing
I them to wilt. The water in vases of
' this kind should be changed twice a
। day.

Short Stories in Abundance.
An industrious reader of short stories
has selected 20 as the best by Amer
ican authors of the 2,700 tales pub
lished in 1010 in 70 periodicals. And
these 2.700 were probably the pick of
27,000 or more from which the editors
had to choose. Many are offered, but
few- are chosen.

replied her mother. “Well, then," said
