CITY HOLIDAY SHOPPING. This is the story of a man who went into a stoi*e to buy a nickel spool of thread —he wanted nothing more. Th© floorman took him by the arm and directed him aright, to where a blonde presided from morning until night. He bought the thread and settled with a reckless sort of dash, and the blonde girl lifted np her voice and londly called for “Cash!” Then came a little short* haired girl, with beads about her neck, who took the thread to another girl, who entered up the check; she then transferred it to a boy in uniform and cap, who took it to the basement for another boy to wrap. Two hours later it came back only to be rejected by the blonde girl, just because it wasn’t stamped “Inspected.” Then for 60 minutes more it went from place to place, till at last the thread and purchaser were brought face to face. Grabbing it he harried home, and said unto his wife: “Had I tried to spend a dollar they’d have kept me there for life!”

Another Good Man Gone Wrong. He neglected to take Foley’s Kidney Cur at the first signs of Kidney trouble, hoping it would wear away, and he was soon a victim of Bright’s disease.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Blacking For School Shoe*. A matter of much consideration to mothers of schoolboys is keeping- their shoes in a tidy condition duridg the winter months. Buy some neatsfoot oil and mix with it sufficient dry lampblack to make a paste that will spread easily. Both of these ingredients may be bought of a dealer in paints and oil. Pour the mixture into a bottle and always shake before using. The shoes must be thoroughly cleaned of mud |nd be perfectly dry. Then apply with a piece of cloth, rubbing tbe mixture Into the leather thoroughly. It is astonishing trow much of the mixture the leather will absorb at the first application. When the leather will absorb jho more rub thoroughly with a brush. Each day apply a very little with the brush or a cloth, and a neat black appearance Is retained until the shoes are worn out This mixture preserves the leather and renders It impervious to water.

Inexpensive Curtain*.

For bedroom curtains sprigged dimities, such as are sold for summer gowns, may be bought for from B*4 to 15 cents a yard, and when daintily made and hung they are refreshingly pretty to look at. The so called “cretonnes,” which can be bought for from 15 to 25 cents a yard, make a somewhat heavier curtain, and if they are wanted still heavier they are quite charming when lined with cheesecloth of some bright color, some tone of which appears in the pattern.

Deviled Chicken. Put Into n saucepan one-quarter cup of fine breadcrumbs, a saltspoon each of salt and paprika, six drops of onion Juice, a teaspoon of minced parsley and one-balf cup of cream. Heat and stir constantly until the mixture bolls up. Put in two cups of finely minced cooked chicken and one tablespoon of lemon Juice. Take from the fire, add two hard boiled eggs rubbed through a sieve, fill small cups, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and brown in the oven.

Broiled Partridge*. Two hours before broiling lay them in salt and water. When taken out Wipe them dry and rub them over with fresh butter and pepper, but do not add any more salt First brojl the under or split side on the gridiron over bright clear coals, turning until the upper side is a clear, light brown. When done rub well with fresh butter and a little lemon Juice. Serve over hot foast Spla the Paa. First have a tin pan or cover to spin. Then give each of the girls present an even number and the boys an odd number. The one who spins the pan stands in the center of the room, and" as be spins he calls any number he thinks of, and the one whose number it happens to be must try to catch the pan before it stops or else he mast give tip his seat and be the spinner. In a roomful It is lots of fun, because you get confused and forget yonr number sometimes until after the pan has stopped. To Bxtlagatah Baralas OIL To extinguish burning oil do not throw, wafer on the flames, for it will only spread them by causing the oil to float. The right plan is to throw on flour, earth or sand. Any of these things will soak up the oil—generally kerosene from an overturned lamp—■ml quickly extinguish the fire.

railway accident about a year ago. She Is a sweet faced woman about thirty years of age and possesses a remarkably sweet mezzo soprano voice. On the eve of her departure from Toronto Miss Booth said: “I am a stranger as yet to the work in the United States, and It would be difficult to tell of the advances to be made until I see the condition of the field. Under my predecessor, BoothTucker, my brother-in-law, the army work in the United States made tremendous advances. “I hope to be able to prosecute this work still farther. The work among the poor is one which appeals to me strongly. Therefore I hope to extend army operations along these lines, particularly in the great cities, where such work is so sorely needed.”

Set Right by a Laaatlc. Professor William Bacon Bailey, who has published in the Yale Review the most thorough study of suicide that has yet been made, had occasion in the course of his researches to visit a number of insane asylums.' There he would question such inmates as had attempted or had threatened to attempt to kill themselves. Professor Bailey spent a certain afternoon with a lunatic who bad thrice tried suicide. He had a long and interesting talk with this man. Finally looking at a clock on the mantel and noting the lateness of the hour he was amazed. "Is that clock right?” he asked. “Friend,” replied the lunatic, with a superior air, “do you think it would be here if it was right?”—Detroit NewsTribune. Cannon’* Promlaaory Note. “Talking about promissory notes and financial integrity,” said Speaker Cannon of the house of representatives a few days ago, “I remember when I was p. boy I swapped dogs with a young friend who agreed to give me $1 to boot. He didn’t have the money, and be suggested that he should give me a note, to which I agreed. He wrote a note Just like this: “ ‘I owe Joe Cannon sl, which must be paid.’ "That was recognized as first class commercial paper with us. If proved as good as gold, for it was paid.”
