Don't Be Ton-cliy. There are some people always looking' out for slights. They cannot pay a visit, they cannot receive a friend, they cannot carry on the Intercourse of the family -without suspecting some offense is designed. They are terribly touchy. If they meet an acquaintance In the street who happens to be preoccupied with business they attribute his abstraction to some motive personal to themselves and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fault of their Irritability. A fit of indigestion makes them Bee impertinences in everybody they come in contact with. Innocent persons who never dreamed of giving offense are astonished to find some unfortunate word or some momentary taciturnity mistaken for insult. Of course, Buch a mental condition is due to too much thinking about self and to an exaggerated self esteem, even though unconscious. The best remedy Is to persistently put thoughts of self out of mind. Find something more absorbing and more elevating to think about if you are one of the touchy ones and you'll soon lose the habit. A Kitchm Stool. It will surprise you to find how much less tired you will be when working in the kitchen if you have a tall stool to sit on when wiping disheseven when washing them it can be used ironing small articles, preparing vegetables and making cake, pies, and doing many other things.

Afterward, in fulfillment of an ancient custom, there Is a luncheon, at which the distinctive luxury is gingerbread washed down with raw gin, a combination which, a London paper assumes, will fix the event In memory for several days." DU Specialty. A little boy was on his knees recently at night, and auntie, staying In the house, was present. "It is a pleasure," she said to him afterward, "to hear you saying your prayers so well. You speak earnestly and seriously and mean what you say and care about it." "Ah," he answered, "ah, but, auntie, you should hear me gargle."'
