A BIT OF GOSSIP

“Don’t lock your door, Bab. I’m coming In to brush my bah- and hav® a chat" Bab nodded, yawned and went into her room. “There, now; I’ve hardly had a glimpse of you tonight. I’m dead beat, fairly dead b jat. Don’t mention the word ‘dance’ for”— “A week?” “Oh, months, months! It haa been * lovely suceetes, though.” ' “You look washed out,” said Bab. “What a horrid expression!” Bab lifted the handglass lying on her»knee and scrutinized her own fae® closely. • * * ‘ts'ow I look as fresh as I did when that evening commenced. Thank heaven, I don’t show either my physical or bodily feelings in my face.. You’ll wear out before your time, Sallle.” "Thank yon, Bab. I think I’ll wear as well as most people. But perhaps If you had had my responsibilities on your shoulders and the weight of receiving and looking after the comfort of over 300 guests instead of mooning about the conservatory with Major Hardy you would have looked washed out!” Bab laughed lazily and nestled pretty dark head more cozily among the silken cushions. “You pay the penalty, Sal, of being hostess and heiress. Now, an insignificant person like myself has nothing to worry about. Yes, nobodles have advantages after all!” “You don’t consider yourself a nobody, so you needn’t say it, Bab. And Major Hardy doesn’t think you are a nobody either!” “Did he tell you so? How condescending!” “Don’t be ridiculous. Haven’t I ears and eyes”— “Speaking of ears, did you notice the earrings Lady Martin was wearing?” “Bab, I’m not going to let you change the subject in that mean way.” “Coral down to her shoulders! I never saw such abominable looking things, I wouldn't give a tig for your country folks, Sallle!” “We are wnuderlng away from Major Hardy.” “How you ‘Major Hardy’ me! If I am not mistaken, the very first words you said to me this morning were, ‘Major Hardy Is coming tonight.’ ” “Don’t get nasty, Bab. You know that we—er”— “What?” “Oh, I thought we—l thought you said once—don’t glare at me—l thought you liked him.” “I like a whole heap of men.” “He is a splendid match, Bab. The rectory girls would give anything to have your chance.” “H’m! Why not take him yourself? You needn't fly into a passion. I apologize. I forgot for an instant that what ! would be-a good match for me would be most unsuitable for a great heiress.” “You are so bitter, Bab. Can I help my position?” said Sallle plaintively. “I never said you could.” “You dauced half a dozen times with j him.” “With whom ?” ! “Oh, you know! Major Hardy.” “Well?” “And I saw you go Into the conservatory, and I thought he would surely ; say something.” “He said plenty. He was quite gari rulous for him. He had quite au argument with your father about some monstrosity of a plant” “Father!" “I was quite in the cold, I assure you.” “How stupid of father! I will scold the old darling for his blindness.” “You must do nothing of the kind, j His state of perfect serenity must be j left uudlsturbed.” “Dear old father! He did look happy tonight lie was so pleased with me. When I was talking to you once 1 saw him watching me with such proud eyes.” “Yes?” “I don’t think a girl ever had a more devoted father. He Is bound up In me, aud I would die without his love.” “Lots of girls think that till—their fathers marry again.” “Brutes! We settled long ago that men were brutes, didn’t we, dear? But my father 1b a noble exception.” “And Major Hardy?” “Oh, of course!” “Two exceptions, then. . What a bright lookout for womankind!” "Don’t sneer, Bab!” "I don’t remember my father,” said Bab thoughtfully. “I believe he went In for horse racing aud occasionally 111 used my mother.” “Pity her If you like, Sal, but don’t waste your pity on me. lam perfectly contented—and Just now very comfortably sleepy.” “Sleepy? Oh, then, I had better say good night!” “Do, dear.” Bab yawned drowsily. “Don’t expect to see me at a very early hour. Going? Well, good night. Walt an Instant, Sallle. Major Hardy”— “Oh, darling, then be did”— “Proposed to me In the conservatory tonight. But I was compelled to refuse him.” , “Oh, Bab!” “I had already promised to marry your father. What do you say? Ob. good night!”

For Soft Corns.

After bathing the feet in warm water rub the corn gently with aweet oil; then place absorbent cotton between the toes, or wherever the soft corn may be, changing the cotton and putting fresh on every night and morning. In this way you dry the corn out, and by perseverance It will eventually disappear, although it may take some time to accomplish the desired result.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Witch la the Jar. One of the boys and girls acts as witch or wizard. Each of the other players chooses a tree or anything else for a “home.” The witch then traces out ou the ground with a stick as many circles as there are players and calls these circles “jars." The players all run out from their “homes,” and the witch runs after them. Every one that she catches she puts In one of her Jars. The captives must remain In their Jars unless they are released by a touch from some uncaptured player. If released he cannot be recaptured until after be has reached his “home” and started out from It once again. But his rescuer runs great risk of being captured, as the witch naturally keeps close guard over the prisoners and stands ready to pounce down upon any would be rescuer. When every player has been caught a new witch or wizard is chosen and the game goes merrily on again. Mr Mauler Benda Me to You. Sitting in order round the ro#m, the first player begins by saying to bis neighbor, "My master sends me ta you,” at the same time working away with tbe right hand as if hammering on his knee. The one to whom this remark is made answers, “What to clo?” In reply to which the first player says, “To work with one as I do.” The second player, then working in the same way. must turn to his neighbor on the left and carry on tbe same conversation with him, and so on until every one in the room is working with one hand. The next time of going round the order is given to work with two hands, after that with one foot also, then with two feet, and last of all with the head. Should any one be discovered not to be keeping both feet, hands and head in constant motion while the game is going on a forfeit may be demanded. Breathing Fire. Did you ever see a juggler blow a stream of sparks from his mouth? Of course you wondered how he could possibly keep fire In his mouth without getting burned, for he must have fire there In order to blow out the sparks. It is a ueat trick. He rolls some flax or hemp into a ball about the size of a walnut and then sets fire to it and lets it burn until It is nearly consumed. Then, while it is still burning, he rolls more (lax or hemp around it and thus confines the fire, in which condition It will live for a long time. When he Is ready to perform the trick he slips the ball into his mouth and by breathing through it makes sparks fly out, with an effect that is quite startling to those who do not know how It is done. Of course while he Is performing the trick he has to breathe in air through his nostrils only. Did you ever hear of the custom among the colored people of the south of carrying a rabbit’s foot In the pocket for good luck ? That little animal Is regarded by them with superstitiems admiration, and they tell many stories of its cleverness in outwitting its natural enemies, the dog, the fox and the wolf, and In circumventing every Bcheme Intended for its punishment. This belief In the sagacity of tbe living rabbit gave rise to a belief that a dead rabbit has certain magic powers, and one of the evidences of the superstition is the custom of carrying the foot, not only for good luck, but as a charm against disease. It is tbe left hind foot that is preferred, and if it be taken from a rabbit that was in the habit of running through a graveyard its efficacy Is largely increased. Strength of Plant*. Strength is not a thing usually connected with maidenhair fern, yet if its roots have not sufficient room they will break the pot In which the plant grows. Blades of grass will force the curbstones between which they may spring up out of their plara, aud in a single night a crop of small mushrooms have lifted a large stone. Indeed, plants have been known to break the hardest rocks. The island of Aldabra, to the northwest of Madagascar, Is becoming smaller and smaller through tbe action of the mangroves that grow along the foot of the cliffs. They eat their way Into the rock in all directions, and into the gaps thus formed the waves force their way. In time they will probably reduce the island to pieces.
