FOR WOMEN FOLKS
THE UNSOLVED PROBLEM
He had spent long years in college and ac
quired all kinds of knowledge.
From smoking cigaretts to reading Greek ,
and it was said by many that in Hebrew, Es
kimo and Latin
With the accent of a native he could speak.
He knew every modern science, and fore ‘ry
new appliance
He was able some improvement to suggest;
And from bending on a hawser up to criticis
ing Changer,
Os all the greatest minds he wes abreast.
He was eha'mud with hydrostatics, and in
higher mathematics
Not a thing to stump him could he find ;
And to proven line's direction or select a con q
section
Was but a relaxation to his mind.
But he saw a little maiden after all this store
he laid in;
The most inviting problem he had met;
And he felt it was his mission to employ bis
erudition
To solve ibis most inviting problem yet.
So, without a bit of shirking, he has ever
since been working
On the question with an ardor that never
tires;
Yet with all his application, to his great and
deep vexation,
He cannot get the answer he desires.
—Frank Wysor.

Victoria s Idea of a Royal Table
Queen Victoria’s private dinner
table is remarkable not less for its
peculiar dishes than for court eti
quette botn as to the attire and con
duct of the guests.
It is gravely stated as a fact that
’he Queen’s peace of mind would
be disturbed and her dinner spoil
ed if the conventional forms of
court ceremony should be in the
1 ghtest respect v o ated.
In nine cases out of ten an oat
meal soup will be the first substan
tialdish. Dis a very good soil] ,
but not of the kind one expects o
find on a royal table. Still as Vic
toria likes it,her guests must make
the best of it.
With the soup white cherry is
served,the Queen taking her drink
out of a beautiful golden cup, a rel
icof Queen Anne,who had the rep
utation of being id her cups, more
or less all the time.
Twenty.three years have passed
tince the death of the Prince Con
sort, but the boiled beef and piok
led cucumbers he Joved so much
are still among the dishes invaria
bly found on the Queen’s menu,
following the soup, 1
The baron of beef is likewise
never missing. At the moment it 1
is served rhe band- plays the tune

When to Avoid Candy.
Sugar is one of the best of the fat
pro-ducing food?, ind for that reason
js bad for persons, young or old, in
whome there is a tendency to accu
mu ate too much fat. The converse
of this is true—it is a valuable food
for those,young or old, who are too
thin. It is also valuable .because it is
easily {digested, ,to those |who are
weak,who suffer from a lack of anima]
beat, and who need building U], Not
too much ot, thougl, because there
are elements needed in the body
which sugpr will not supply. Sugar
is exceedingly satisfying to the appe
tite,
I know mana who was an e”ficer of
cavalry during the Civil Wai, and on
one occasion during a raid he found
an opportunity to till his haversack
and both saddle bags with brown
sugar. The men of his command did
the same. It was four days before
they were al le to g?t a supply o f
rations, aud during that time they
lived on the sugar and were pei fectly
contented with the diet.
This story points to one rule which
may be safely laid down for al]
Candy should not be eaten in; n. 6 ’i
ately before meals by either child or
laduits.because it will destroy the ap
petite for other food, and that others
THE HUSTLER OF ROME THnRSDAY OCTOBER 1 I 1894,
should be taken first,because of the
food element found in it and which i>
not found iu candy. In other words
the supply of sugar should be adjust
ed to that <>f other foods in a natural
and commoi -sense way proportion.-

A Button Bag.
A novel button bag consists of a
cocoanut shell sawed in two, with
a hole bored in the lower end of
one half.
A bag is then made of brown
silk, hemed at the top and slightly
gathered at the bottom, and in a
facing made in the hem are insert
ed draw-strings of ribbon, an inch
wide, to match the silk. The bag is
then fastened inside the shell by
sewing a piece of ribbon to the
bottom of it.
Draw an end of this ribbon
through each hole at the bottom of
the shell, and tie them with long
ends and loops.
Silver Throatlets.
One of the pretty new affairs the
clever silversmith is showing us is
a throatlet. Is not that an allurinp
way to put it? It is yards a d
yards of very flue silver chain. Tht
links are tiny, and at intervals the
links clasp a jewel.
These are about the size of a
French pea, and “secondary
stones, are all that are used.
Among them are many brilliant
and beautiful varieties, so that the
throatlet is bright with greens.reds
*nd yellows.
It is to be wound about the
throat, and the fastening is con
cealed under one of the jewels.
Same Girl Same Chicken.
A traveling man dining at a
restaurant ordered a boiled chick
en for his dinner. It was placed be
fore him. and he tried in vain to
make an incision with his knife
a id fork Turning to the girl who
waited on him, he eaid :
“I was here five years ago, and
ordered a chicken for dinner. ”2
“Oh, yes,” and answered the
girl, flippantly, “I remember, It
waa I who waited on you.”
“How strange, how very strange”
remarked the man iu a verry low,
awestruck tone.
••Why is it strange?” inquired
tbe girl.
‘•lt’s more thru strange, it’e
wonderful--such a coincidence
could hardly twice —sama
girl, same chicken,” and he look
ed reverently at the specimen be
fore him while the girl made a
£asty retreat. —Georgia Cracker.
