Instead of ordering the food for the household from day to day, they pay a fixed sum per month to their butler or housekeep er, who contracts to supply them with tho usual three meals per day, com posed of the customary courses, says \Vhat to Eat The price paid for this service varies In accordance with the style of living. If guests be invited to dinner or any sort of entertainment bo given, an extra sum per head is paid. In this way the lady of the house avoids the annoyance of butchers' and bakers' bills, and if the butler does not keep his part of the contract it is easy enough to find another to replace him. Of course, the president's house hold 16 carried out on this plan on a large scale, and many of the big stores supply all their employees with daily meals in the same manner.

Dur ing the war of 1812, when, owing to restrictions upon commerce, the prico of pins rose to the enormous sum of $1 per paper, the manufacture was actually started In the United States, but does not seem to have met with success, as the enterprise was soon abandoned. The industry was not fair ly started In this country until tho year 1838. The early pins In this country, as in England, were made with globular heads of fine twisted wire, made sep arately, and secured to the shank by compression from a falling block and die. These old pins had the misfor tune of often parting with their heads. It was to overcome this difficulty that the attention of early Inventors was directed. The solid headed pin, in common use today, took the place of the old form about 1840. Couldn't "Kid" Blm.

About one hundred and thirty years ago a Mrs. Montague who lived in London Introduced the fashion of "con versation parties," which were very enjoyable compared with the other parties given then. Among the men who attended these parties was a Ben jamin Stllllnglioet, who wore blue stockings. Some of the men thus nick named the parties "bluestocking clubs." Soon the papers were full of talk about the clubs, and many be lieved tiiat the ladies who came wore bluestockings. After awhile all stu dious ladies were called "bluestock ings," and today jeople often speak of aome learned woman as a "blue stocking." A man was really the orig inal "bluestocking," so the term ought really to be applied to learned men and not to women. The Client. The following simple exercise will assist greatly in rounding out the chest: Lift the hands, palms outward, until the lingers touch at the tips. The hands should meet just over the head and the lingers lightly kiss each other. The elbows should he held out sharply, so as to give the arms full play and opeu the lungs. Lift the arms, with elbows protruding, as many times as possible without actual fatigue. Touch the linger tips over the head as often as the hands meet.

Improvement of Oorn. "Uncle Ilenry" Wanace,is devoting a good deal of space in his paper Wal laces' Farmer to the improvement of I Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the fact that while the Iowa Farmer has been improving his live stocK for twen ty years and more he has given very 4 little attention to the great Iowa crop, corn. Among the many articles which I have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on] tblB subject has been a series by Prof. I Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert, and these are illustrated by a number I of photographs Bbowing LIST OF LAND BARGAINS No. 1.

In this connection we wish to say I that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the best agricultural papers that comes to I this ollice. It is handsomely printed on paper of line quality, tilled with at tractive illustrations, and addition I to its regular features, its editorial by I "Uncle Ilenry," its departments of I Dairying, Horticulture, the Hog and I Poultry, Its Home Department, for the women contains full reports of tbel leading fairs, live stock Bhows, andl flales, agricultural meetings, etc. It is I published weekly at Des Moines, Iowa1 at $1.00 a year, all subscriptions pay-1 able in advance and the paper stops I when the time iB out.
