Chinese Animal Fable.

Once upon a time a careless monkey, Who had climbed down from the tree tops, was caught by a tiger. The little fellow had his wits about him and, without attempting to move, said, "I am not lit to make a good meal for you. and if you will let me go I will guide you to a hillside where I Just law a flue, large animal feeding.” The tiger deliberated a minute and, M the monkey looked small and poor, decided* to accept the offer. His little companion led the way through the bushes until they reached a hill where • rough coated donkey was feeding. The tiger had never seen such an animal before, and his eyes shone with delight when he thought what a fine meal he would make. He was Just crouching for a spring when the donkey said: “My dear monkey, why have you brought me only one tiger? You have always succeeded in bringing two or three before.”

Frightened at these ominous words, the tiger turned tall and ran for hia Use.

Thus a quick wit may often deliver a man out of great danger.

An Interesting Game.

what he planted In his garden, and the player may name any article he chooses, but the thing that “came up” must be some plant that has a connection with the article. The answers cannot therefore always be given Instantly, as a little thought may be necessary to make the answer good. That, however, will make the game all the more entertaining. Here are a few answers that show how the game should be played: “I planted some steps and they came up hops.” “I planted a ball and it came up rubber plant." “I planted a calendar and It came up dates.” “I planted a watch and It came up a four o’clock.” “I planted a ship and It came up in dock.” It will pay you to buy clothing at the “Ideal,” 25 per cent reduction sale.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Th* l«wlas Rag, Dressmaking is done in every household, and everywhere sewing Is done a sewing rug will be found useful. For a rug cut sixteen yards of denim in four equal lengths. This will makf a four yard rug. Stitch around It a two Inch hern, and to the back of the hem attach some lead weights, similar to those that are sometimes used In bicycle skirts. These will cause the rug to lie flat on the floor. Place this rug under the sewing machine and cutting table before beginning work. When the work is ever, It may be picked up and shaken out of doors. It will save a great deal of time and trouble, and the time necessary to pick it up and bundle it out of the way is much less than would be required to pick up snips and threads.

Cerbolle Add Antidote. The recent discovery of Mr. Allen, a Dublin veterinary surgeon, that ordinary turpentine is an antidote to carbolic acid Is one of the many important discoveries which have resulted more or less from accident. Mr. Allen bad in his establishment some horses which were suffering from carbolic poisoning, and he asked for oil to be given as an antidote. It was only the unexpected success of the treatment which caused It to be discovered that a happy mistake had been made and that turpentine had been administered Instead of oil. A few days later a blacksmith who was unconscious from carbolic poisoning was similarly treated with satisfactory results.

WMklii Silk Good*.

Permit no wringing or rubbing of any wash silk garment. Simply have It dipped, changing the lukewarm water several times until it becomes comparatively clean. Next pass through two waters of the same temperature, omitting soap, and hang up to drain. Care should be taken to pin In several places to avoid strain, as the garment will be heavy with the weight of water.

Log Cabin Guilt Designs.

Design No. 1 has the dark pieces on opposite sides, while No. 2 has dark In one corner and light in the other. When sewing the squares of No. 1 Join

NO 1

all dark squares. That makes dark stripe lengthwise when quilt is complete. No. 2ls sewed together so as to make a large light square, with a dark square standing on its corner in the

NO 2.

center. That takes four squares. Then when the next four squares are sewed to that there will be a dark and light alternate. Many prefer to have the center tiny square made Of red or to match the lining.

Wear of Table Linen.

The real wear of table linen is In laundering, but this may be materially decreased and the linen made to serve much longer by careful Ironing. The flat should be moved with the warp threads and not across them. The next time you draw threads in table linen note the difference in strength of the warp and woof threads and you will be convinced.—Good Housekeeping.

Remedy For Bnrna.

Burns and scalds are most likely to happen In the kitchen, so a remedy should always be at hand there, for it cannot be too quickly applied. It is called “carron oil” and is made by •baking together equal parts of limewater and linseed oil in a bottle. Apply to the injured part on lint or soft linen and cover with cotton wool to exclude the air.

Hand Protector*.

▲ satisfactory protection to the hands when sweeping is a pair of loose mittens made from fleeced canton flannel, fleecy side in. They effectually exclude the dust from the hands and wrists when made sufficiently long to pull well up over the sleeve.

Poliak For Old Oak.

A polish for old oak Is made by mixing together two ounces of boiled linseed oil, three ounces of turpentine, an ounce of vinegar and a quarter of • pint of methylated spirit. Bub a tittle of this well in, then polish the wood with a soft cloth.

Te Make liWas Fowler.

Mix well together half a pound es ground rice, one-quarter pound of bicarbonate of soda, two ounces of tartaric add.

MUSING OF THE DEAD

There was the sound of trampling feet above my head and the sharp click of metal against the sod, apd I, a shape, a vapor, resting In my coffin, could distinctly bear the digger at work on another grave beside my own. It had never occurred to me in life that the dead had ears to bear and

eyes to see, and even now there was nothing In the demeanor of my coffined neighbors to uphold me in my present theory.

I was a criminal when they burled me, and my soul seemed left within my body to grovel In the dust of horror and humiliation for a period at least before its further evolution.

It was as if my own contempt for the sublimity of the soul was being mocked by fleshly dissolution. I was forced to witness the filthy degeneration of what In life had seemed to me of paramount importance. Vanity and carnality had been my ruling passions, and all the higher attributes of man, in which the soul took precedence of body, aroused within my carnal mind only a feeling of sarcastic pity. It was for this destroying of a mental self that I was finally heated down and brought to sudden justice. For many years my wild debauches had been carried on with fallen mortals, and men who scorned and loathed me, even they were satisfied to let It go as a thing beyond their Interference. It was only when I won poor Nellie's love that they began shaking their angry heads and pointing their warning fingers at me. But I had wisdom in my evil way. I feigned a reformation that I did not feel and for a time behaved with rigid circumspection. There were days even when the child’s sweet nature almost shamed me In my wicked purpose, but to a heart grown old In sin a woman’s idrtue only adds persistence, and after each brief moment of remorse the old desire crept swiftly back, with tenfold worse intentions added.

And day after day the floweret drooped with the sun of passion beating on it Day by day truth took a weaker hold upon the soul that wavered In my power. Warnings I had in plenty from the friends that loved the girl, and although there was no violence from me at any time they called my deed a deed of crime and lynched me like a common felon.

Whether it was just some did not know, but to me, lying cramped and huddled in this moldy box, there comes at times a realization of my sin that makes the judgment seem most fair and even tempered with that plea for mercy which doubtful jurors often add. Day by day, hour by hour aud minute by minute the scenes and sins, of my life are creeping slowly through my soul, and now, viewed by the light of a disembodied spirit, I find how greatly the sins of the flesh are at variance with the spiritual being. Hope and desire, so all important to the carnal frame, shrink to the meanest form of guilt when viewed through nobler, purer lenses. Like a wornout husk, battered and travel stained, my flesh lies, rotting in this grave, while I, a soul, exist, here, there and all about, able to penetrate the very earth, able to see the heavens above, but totally unable to escape from the dread proximity of my moldering clay of this constant vision of decay in what was once my fondest pride.

And now another silent form is being lowered to my side. I hear the sound of falling sods, the creak of ropes, the tread of feet and wish —oh, coward that I am!—that it might be another soul so doomed that it would bear me company.

They are going now, the mourners at the grave above my head, and almost touching my crumbling feet I see the outline of a polished casket.

No one in all those silent tombs seems wakened or disturbed but me. The advent of another form into the gloom and horror of this place brings not a tremor to the dust of those who sleep so peacefully. But now my soul seems pierced again by one more venomed, rankling dart, and through the power of spirit sight I see the limit of my doom.

There is no soul within this new made tomb, no clay freed spirit to condole with mine, but low beneath the polished boards a sweet young face lies still and calm and seems to mock, my misery. Once more I trace my evil life in all Its willful, sinful ways, and, turning, try to avert my gaze from that which almost maddens me.

This then is justice for the damned! To watch, perforce, while all you love decays, while flesh, once fair, creeps vilely back to dust, and the Immortal soul, denied and scorned, rises from the very grave to torture that which •corned it!

Yes, this is justice, but the after plea, the plea for mercy, is denied me, for here, before my shrinking eyes, my victim lies in peaceful slumber. Powerless was I to harm her soul, though friend and foe alike condemned her, and now, in throes of bitter rage, I recognize a righteous vengeance.

Great Relief.

“It must be hard,” said the friend, "to have your wife chasing off to women’s rights meetings and all that sort of thing every night” "Hard!" exclaimed Henpeck. “Why, Ifs great I can sit comfortably at home and not have to listen to her.”— Philadelphia Press. _
