“Boston’s Stump.”
* < Boston’s stump” is I he local name
of the tower of the parish church of
St. Botolph, in Boston, England,
which was damaged by lightning, not
long ago. The church dates from
the fourteenth century, and its tow¬
er, 272 feet high, is the tallest but
ono among the parish churches of
England. f It has 365 steps, one for
each day of the year, and the church
has seven doors, fifty-two windows
and twelve pillars, for the days In
the week and the weeks and months
in the year. For the twenty-four
•hours in the day there are twenty
four steps in (he porch by which the
library is reached. Two flights of
sixty steps lead to the roof, one for
the seconds, the other for tho min¬
utes; and the tower is in four stories
for the four seasons. Thus does

BABY’S QUILT.
Get one and one-half yards of whRe

wide, so that when it is folded over it
makes a perfect square. Sometimes
ycu can get it in remnant length,
which comes cheaper. Turn in edges
and buttonhole stitch all around with
biue or pink wool, then make little
•bows cf the same colcr baby ribbon
ahd sew on here and there instead of
the wool knots. It makes a warm
quilt and is mueh easier to wash than
those filled with cotton.—New York

ALMOST A SHADOW
Gained 20 lbs. on Grapc-NutSf
There's a wonderful difference be¬
tween a food which merely tastes
good and one which builds up
strength and good healthy flesh.
It makes no difference how much
we eat; unless we can digest it. It is
not really food to the system until it
is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
“I had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as 1 then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
“I lost flesh until I was almost a
shadow of my . original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
"First I dropped coffee and used
Posium, then began to use Grape
Nuts. although I had little faith it
would do me any good.
“But I continued to use the food
and have gained twenty pounds in
weight and feel like another person
in every way. I feel as if life had
truly begun anew for me.
“I can eat anything I like now in
moderation, suffer no ill effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring I have been able to do it my¬
self all alone.
“My breakfast Is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and a piece of
toast, but generally only Grape-Nuts
and Postum. And I can work until
noon and not feel as tired as one
hour’s work would have made me a
year ago.” “There’s a Reason."

TO SWIM THE CHANNEL.
Miss Lillian Smith, captain of

tion of trying to swim the

WALTZ NEVER OUT OF FASHION.
Dances may come and dances
go, but the waltz, w'hich this
attains its centenary, never loses
popularity. It is the most
dance left to us now that the days
the minuet are over, and it has
spired some of the most delightful
strains in the world of melody.
Where every other dance nowadays

this really well, and the girl who
gains a reputation as a graceful
waltzer rarely suffers from the ago¬
nies of “wallflowerdom,” if we may
coin such a word.—Woman’s Life.
SUFFRAGE IN DENMARK.

FOOD FOR HUSBANDS.
A woman, discussing how to feed
a husband, said she soon cured her
husband of fussiness and faddishness
about his food. He said that he had
to take what he could get. Now, why
should he? His work and money
buy every scran of food which enter
the home. It is the husband’s right
that he should have the food that he
likes best, properly cooked and served
on the table he bought, in the house
whose rent he pays, by the wife to
whom he gives a housekeeping allow¬
ance as a trust fund. He strives his
very best to support his family ia
comfort and some degree of luxury.
His wife should strive her very best
to lay out the money he intrusts her
with so as to secure health, happiness
and content in the home. It is a very
clear bargain between husband and
wife. If a man is “grumpy” at meals
there's usually something the matter
with the meals. The sou rest-tem¬
pered male begins to smile when the
savory scent of an appetizing dish
rises like incense before the altar of
his appetite. Kisses and sentiment
do not compensate a man for poor
cooking and monotonous catering.—

LABOR BUT FOUR HOURS.
Many of the upper servants in
sian households lead very easy lives.
During a period when waiters and
chambermaids employed at large
tablishments, hotels and
in Warsaw decided to strike,
servants in private houses refused
support them, and some soon
turned to their employers.
A servant in the employ of one
nobleman who does not exact
work from his household received
men who had come to persuade
to join them. "What do you
men want?” he asked languidly
the sofa on which he was reclining.
"To join the general strike for an
eight hour day,” was the reply.

"How dare you even suggest

my life! Eight hours indeed! Why,
you won’t find a self respecting foot
man in the whole town to support
such movement!” < < How many
a
hours do you work?” asked the as
t.onished delegates. "Two or three

Combs Made of Old Shoes.
A mountain of old boots and shoes,
indescribably ugly, indescribably
filthy, lay in the factory yard.
“We’ll make combs out of them,”
said the chemist, “combs that will
pass through the perfumed and lus¬
trous locks of the most beautiful
girls. Seems strange, doesn't it?
“Very.”
“Yet it’s a fact. That is what be¬
comes of the world's old shoes; they
are turned into combs. The leather
is first cut into small pieces and im¬
mersed two days in a chloride of sul¬
phur bath; then it is washed, dried
and ground to powder; then it is
mix’d with glue or gum and pressed
into comb molds.” — Philadelphia

missed as untenable, and the mystery

The total population cf France is
