I never had a horse' yet that I wasn’t able to sell, and the only thing that wor ried me in this case was that I might wake up some morning and find the brute dead from old age. “I ran across a man at last who was looking for a horse, and I talk¬ ed him to a standstill before I show¬ ed him the living illustration of the fact that there is nothing in the story that a horse never lived over twenty years. trance, “When I had my man in a I led the horse out and was gazing at him in silent admiration when mv wife, who was an interested spec¬ tator, exclaimed: the U * Do you know, that is unni est horse!

Largest Prison In the World, In France at the new prison, which is about eight miles from Paris, the authorfties show their be lief in fresh air and sunshine, and the prison is a model sanitarium. The prison is the largest in the world and takes the place of three old ones. It is built in a very sim¬ ple style, but covers, with its floral gardens and-residences of officials, more than half a square mile. There ai!e g 0 1,824 cells; but, as there is - accommodation oti the as gociation system for about 400 more prisoners, the total it will contain is considerably over 2,000, I ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Brooms That Sweep Clean and Dust¬ ers That Do the Work. For hardwood o.r stained floors and those covered with matting a hair broom should be used. The hardwood floors need to be dusted after sweeping. A very easy way of doing this is to make a canton flan¬ nel bag of some dark color and tie it over a common broom. A vigor¬ ous rubbing with this covered broom will add considerable polish to a dim floor. For wiping floors heavy can¬ ton flannel makes a good cloth. Cut a convenient size and overcast tho edges coarsely. This is also an cx cellent plan for cleaning paint. 1 Lusters made of cheesecloth with | the hems run in are soft -.to use and | wash easily. Old indiu <*.r foulard silk is the best thin 4 i have ever tried for bric-a-brac and small arti¬ cles. All dusters should be washed and dried after using. There U nothing gained by using a cloth filled with dust. It will not make anything clean. If brooms, both large and small, are often washed and dried, then turned up on their handles, they will sweep cleaner and last longer. There should be a con¬ venient place for keeping brooms, dust pans and cloths. It will savo many steps if a set is kept on each floor.—Mary Graham in Woman’s Home Companion. \ * ir ® ™ adc of rals td ‘ ()l, 0 1 aI “ ,ir c l» akad rings . and ™ a f ld . * d ^ G and arc-turned during the bak ing so that the muffins come out fiat on ^ )0 ^ 1 6ldes - ^ ut one-third of a compressed yeast cake into onc third of a cupful of cold water and let it dissolve.

Now shape the dough -into cakes about one-third of an inch thick and put in the rings on a warm and slightly greased griddle. The heat under the griddle must be very lit¬ tle indeed at first, for the muffins must rise and bake slowly. Later on, as they begin to rise, pull the griddle toward the front *of the stove and cook a trifle more rapidly. Thirty-five minutes is none too long to allow for the cooking. When ready, break the muffins open, but¬ ter them aud serve. Tar.e this paper.
