and pleasant The Best Food for Workers The best food for those who work with hand or brain is never high priced The best example of this is found in Quaker Oats It stands at the top among foods that supply nourishment and vigor without taxing the digestion and yet it is the least expensive food one can eat This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from what they eat Laborers factory or farm hands fed plentifully on Quaker Oats will work better and with less fatigue than if fed on almost any other kind of food All of these facts were proved and very interesting information about human foods were gathered by Professor Fisher of Yale University in 1908 In addition to the regular package Quaker Oats is packed in large sized family packages either with or without china dishes jSS5SWeStSj kifcatjL BREAKFAST It Should Bo a Substantial Meal Says a Phycician It is custom lo make the first nioal of tho di slightly the lightest

iVMeiros less foo at this time Fei ivtly healthy men who slcvp with their windows omcu and gy to bed at a reasonable hour will tell you that they enjoy their breakfast as well as any other meal of the day and many even call it their best meal Another popular delusion in regard to the lightness and unimportance of tlio breakfast is that widespread subterfuge the continental breakfast consist in of a cup of coffee and some fruit or a single roll This is a very pretty breakfast as far as it goes but it doesnt go far and the solo basis for Its adoptioii on the continent is that it Is only intended as a temporary tide over until the real breakfast of meat eggs lish etc which is taken at about 10 or 11 oclock like a very early luncheon If you havent got a good appetite for breakfast make it your business to co and get one instead of allowing yourself to be blinded in this morbid state of affairs and deciding that all you really need is a cup of coffee and a roll or an orange Dr Woods Hutchinson in Womans Ilome Companion A TENNYSON STORY The Poets Mistake and the Way He Tendered an Apology Englands great poet Tennyson was a somewhat gruff and formidable man whose manner with curious strangers was by no moans and pleasant Once a young woman who had been just introduced to the great man at Freshwater was loft alone with him on the seashore She stood in immense awe of the poet and therefore did not interrupt him as he sat speechless gazing straight ahead of him iit the sea The long silence was broken at last In an astonishing manner by Tennyson He was going to open his lips and utter some lovely thought the young woman imagined Instead he opened thorn and in gruff and gloomy tones gave voice to this remark You creak The girl started back in horror Tennyson added an explanation You creak Your stays creak This so startled the young woman that she ran away and went indoors where a large company she found was gathered together over tea In a little time Tennyson appeared a vague expression on his countenance as though something had gone wrong with him The girl now accounting him possibly mad and certainly impolite tried hard to hide away from him In vain nis eagle eye found her out ne threaded his way among the other guests toward her took her hand and said in resonant tones before the whole company of them My dear I beg your pardon I find it was my braces Three Great Books Pride goeth before a fall according to the proverb but it often happens that the fall does not take place as expected by the cynical observer Mrs Benedict for example was very proud of her daughters attainments at school Sirs Benedict herself had had little schooling but attempted to make up for it by retailing Margarets triumphs to her friends One day the ministers wife was calling Yes maam Mrs Benedict said in reply to a question Margaret is way up in all her classes I can tell yoa Theyve been reading Shakespeares plays latterly and Maggies buying that little edition one by one so she can have it at home She keeps them up in her room Let me see shes read Hamlet and there was two more oh yes one of em was Romeo and the other Juliet I enjoy hearing her do them out loud Mrs Bradley Youths Companion Doubtful Compliments The colonel who taking his leave at a garden party inquires Have I had the pleasure of saying goodby to you Miss Mary the hostess sweetly assuring a distinguished pianist who has risen abruptly from the instrument with a sarcastic protest lest he should disturb the conversation that he does not do so at all the young man who on being told that a possible rival had taken the lady who Is speaking in to dinner the previous evening declares that thats all hes fit for these are decided instances of this class of bad tompliment while for a well meant but lukewarm one poor Newman Noggs reply to the collectors query respecting the Ken wigs new baby that it wasnt a very nasty one may be cited Loudon Academy Well Off Counsel You

sir New York Journal To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals and to have a deference for others guides our manners Sterne FRENCH MARRIAGES All Probable Future Events Arranged i aj rw in nuvance On the appointed evening I arrived at the given time and after iu excellent dinner at which all members of both families were present we re pairod to the great drawing room whore the chairs had been arranged in a semicircle about two small round tables Presently two grave old gentlemen thf family notaries who had not been seen to smile during the whole dinner I col their seats In front nl tables and when we were all assembled the elder commenced to read a long memoir whii li he announced hul compiled with the help of his colleague Then to my utter amazement he began to name all the possessions of the future bride and bridegroom so many bonds anil mortgages so many houses farms woodlands prairies articles of personal adornment furniture and jewels the ways in which they might be used or disposed of what would happen in case no children were born of the marriage in case of death of one tht other of the parties In fact all the misfortunes all the most terrible and saddest events had boon foreseen and cold chills began running down my back as I heard each new ease mentioned I was Indignant I posi tively revolted Why were miserable finest ions of business allowed to fore shadow the charming union of thev two young people who had known ami loved each other since childhood anil whose true and pure affection was in nocentof all monetary interests Could not all have been spared them The next day I frankly opened heart to Jeanne and her mother ex plaining the sensations I had eperi enced the previous evening and say ing that in my country when two poisons were about to marry as long a there was love on both sides and the man was able to support his wife all such questions were usually left undis cussed They both listened to me somewhat astonished and then Jlmc de whose great good sense has alwajs convinced me replied smilingly But my dear for us marriage is not only the joining of two young and loving hearts We go further and consider the generations to come the founding of a new family a home As every one knows the first years are often the most difficult and we therefore take precautions to smooth the paths of our children by settling in their presence all business matters once and forever and arranging things so that the new life may develop under the best of circumstances Scrib ners Magazine THEY WERE STUBBORN A Story Illustrating the Setness of the Cornishman Your Coruishman can be very set and stubborn His determinatiou of spirit is more remarkable than admirable at times though it may be in using Mr Hook the late royal academician was once says Mr Hudson in his book on the Lands End on the sands at Whitesand bay working at i marine picture when two natives came up and planted themselves just behind him There was nothing the artist hated more than to be watched strangers over his shoulders in this way and pretty soon he wheeled around on them and angrily asked them how long they were going to stand there His manner served to arouse their spirit and they replied brusquely that they were going to stay as loug as they thought proper He insisted on knowing just how long they were going to stay there to his annoyance and by and hi after some more loud and angry discussion one of them incautiously declared they would stand at that very spot for an hour Do you mean that shouted nook pulling out his watch Yes they returned they would not stir one inch from that spot for an hour Very well he said and pulled up his easel thou marching off to a distance of thirty yards he set it up again and resumed his painting And there within thirty yards of his back the two men stood for one hour and a quarter for as they did uot have a watch they were afraid of going away before the hour had expired Then they marched off Franklin
