The residence of Alex. Faulds was fired into late Sunday night by some unknown parly. Three shots in all were fired at tlie house, two of them went throuuh the pantry window one lodging in the wall of the dining room, the other, in y^oung Mr Faulds' bedroom. The shots are .supposed . to have been fired from the track at the back of the house. Mr Faulds and family at the time of the shooting were in the front part of the house and so escaped injury. Mr Faulds thought blank cartridges were being used 7 ancl stones thrown at the roof. It was not till next morning that he discovered the true state of affairs.

With each passing second Rex became more like himself, and presently "was able to use his voice. Of course, his first thought was to -discover what manner of place it might be they had entered. Along the American frontier in days gone ���������by, such cabins had sheltered the -early settlers, and, were on many an ���������occasioi* of sudden attack turned in- ' ,to stout forts or blockhouses,, be- "hind the walls of which the inmates ��������� -used their long rifles upon the Indians, with deadly effect.

Like so other young ladies throughout the land, Miss McLellan fell a victim to anaemia, or poorness of blood, and although several medicines were,tried, * she found nothing to help Her until she 'began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Miss., McLellan tells th6 story of her illness 'as follows : "1 am now 18 years of age, and for a considerable time 'suffered much from anaemia. My 'blood had almost- turned to water, and I was very weak and^pale ; in fact could not,, undergo the least exertion. My appetite failed mc; ' 1 suffered from, headaches; if I stooped 1 would become dizzy, and frequently 1 suffered from fainting spells. ��������� I tried several kinds of medicine and doctors prescribed for me. but instead of getting better I was gradually growing weaker, and eventually had to discontinue -going to school. About this time I read the testimonial of a.girl whose condition ��������� was similar to mine, who had been cured by Dr. Williams'" Pink Pills. I then decided to try these pills, and-" have every reason to be gratified that, I did so, as they have completely restored my health. .Every one of -the symptoms that had made my .life so miserable have disappeared, , and-1 am now enjoying as good health as any girl of my age could wish, and I shall always have a good word lo' say for Dr.-Williams' Pink Pills. Miss McLellan further stated that while she was not desirous of publicity in matters of this 'kind. ' she nevertheless felt that lier experience, if known might be the means of bringing health to some other sufferer, and 'it is this very praiseworthy motive that has induced her to give the above statement for publication. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make rich, red -blood,- and give tone - to the nerves? It is because of this that they bring bright eyes, rosy cheeks and light footsteps to girls who have' 'been woary, pale and listless and 'had 'beg'un to feel that life was a burden. _Pale and anaemic girls everywhere should give these pills a fair trial as .they are certain to restore health and strength.

If successful, it will afford us a wonderful glimpse into the' 1 " mechanism, of the universe. ' Tt is "no less than. . an attempt to,ascertain by- the aid of photographs whether , the great spiral shaped nebulae that glow* here and there among ihe stars are subject to a visible whirling nio-*- tion. 7 "* ' ' The forms of these strange objects indicate that they resemble in their nature vast whirlpools composed of incandescent gases, mingled perhaps > .with meteoric bodies and' started in , gyration' by,means of forces and influences' not / clearly comprehensible 7 to us. But hitherto thei'e has been no direct evidence of motion hi these ' nebulae. f So far as any visible , change is/concerned they might be ' as -motionless as frost figures ' upon a''window,���������pane. ' b, ��������� Telescopic .observation alone does . not suffice to reveal - their move- ' meats, because they are so t immense ancl ihe length of an observation is j so brief that .there is not 'time en- , - ough-vfor the effects ��������� of the probable 'motion to reveal- itself, to , the \eye. Moreover, on accounts of the "-faint . and hazy outlines "of tho "nebulae, no drawings of them made by hand���������can -be rendered su/mciently accurate .-to serve the purpose. But now that-as- - tronomical photography, 'has reached \ a high degree of perfection all this " is changed, and it is hoped that by comparing ��������� such photographs taken at' intervals the whirling of the nebulae will- be rendered evident to cur > senses! ��������� ��������� '- , The interest in this,experiment lies -in the fact that there is some reason to think that the spinal nebulae represent a primordial condition - of the substance1 out" of'which the.ftars, j worlds and 'suns composing the universe " has been formed. 'Our-"solar. , system may once have glowed softly '-in the depths of space in the, form of ^a rather small spiral nebula before its gleaming,atoms had been whirled and. compacted "* into sun" and planets. '.Thus in studying,the spiral nebulae' we 'are lilce the1 botanist ' who sis able to see locked up in * the shell of- an' acorn ,the germ of the undeveloped oak. - ''��������� x By learning what laws control the motion and .contraction of such nebulae we shall approach toward- a solution of the old and always interesting question of'how the world be- , gan. But the fact ^should not be -lost sight of that the spiral nebulae now visible in the heavens enormously exceed in extent the entire solar system. It is probable that such nebulae as the large one in Canes Veiiatici or the still mightier one in Andro- - meda contain enqugh matter to form hundreds if not thousands of solar systems. In their case a gigantic sun like Arcturus, exceeding our sun thousands of times in size and radiant capacity, may be in process of formation. And' we are at liberty to suppose that around such giant suns giant worlds will revolve when the process of the ages has brought them into existence. In short, the aim of the new step that Miss Klumpke is to take in astronomical investigation is to clear up some of the mystery that now surrounds those objects in the heavens which give in their appearance every indication that they stand for the most ancient form ofecosmical order emerging out of primeval chaos. If the method proves as effective as is hoped, we may not have to wait very long for results, because fortunately very excellent photographs of the chief representatives of the spiral nebulae began to be made by Dr. Isaac Roberts in England ten or twelve years ago, and his series of photographs has been continued at more or less frequent intervals during all the intervening time. Miss Klumpke's first' work will consist of a most careful-measurer' ment and comparison of these-'accumulated photographs of Dr. Ilob- erts, upon which, as already explained, the results;of any change of form .'. undergone by7 the . respective nebulae, must be recorded, provided that those changes have been rapid enough to reveal themselves' in the course of a decade. Tlie Whole Subject Is Under- the Con- * trol o������ the Police. , A group of bright women sat discussing their travels abroad. All had made something more than a tour of European hotels and all had observed something of interest to iwomen outside th'e beaten tracks. "The methods toy which they eliminate the 'servant girl question' in 0Germahy," said one���������the wife of a professor in an- important American university ��������� "are very interesting. They go at it with the same thoroughness with which the German attacks everything, whether a rare species of beetle or the organization of the army. "The'whole'subject is under the control of the police. They have every servant .girl listed. If a housewife requires help in her kitchen, but is unable to pay much for it, by application to< the proper authorities she can secure a young girl without experience. A contract is made ' for a year. The employer agrees to feed and clothe the girl and to teach her certain specified things in housekeeping, but no wages are paid. At the (end of the year the housewife, can retain the girl by paying her small wages aud agreeing to continue , her education'in housework.to a certain specified extent." "The things she is to teach are 'nominated in the bond,' and she is expected to rigidly carry out' her end of the (agreement in consideration of the fact that she pays little or,.no wages. ,In this way, you see, the servant serves an apprenticeship. It is much superior, I think, to our way, in which we take ignorant girls, 'teach them everything they knowi oven to speak English, and .pay them nearly 'or quite as much as a well trained servant. , i j- . .'"If you want a thoroughly competent servant in 'Germany, you can get one at a specified price. And you can examine the record'of every girl at the police" station/" If she has ever been discharged,, you will find the fact there, with the reasons therefor, and thus can tell her character at a glance-without resort to the farcical ^ letter of ' recommendation given>by a former employer. "As the system implies, every German woman is an absolutely''competent housewife. She knows the business of "running a house thoroughly. .Young girls of good'family'after they leave school often go to some particularly competent house- Wife* whom they pay to put'the finishing -touches upon their education in this respect.

Mr. Beaumont's first London engagement was-to play in "The Star of India," one of Arthur Shirley's stirring melodramas.

Thero was a dark change from an interior to the jungle, and one night when Mr. Beaumont and the hero rushed on they were horrified to discover th.it the tree was missing.

' It is not for the laity to throw -stones at the parson about his slip, due either to platform fright or to absence of mind,-- for the brethren and sisters who are not of the cloth make plenty of mistakes of this kind. Nearly, every one���������man or woman ���������in this day has attempted to speak at some gathering and has sat'down with the frightful-consciousness of having said something W;hich was far from that intended. One man, a lawyer, is still piqued at himself over the recollection of having said three times in the course.of an address that "there was no food'for either animal or beast," and a certain clubwoman recalls with horror how, iu the midst of a poetic description of sunrise" in' Alaska/she finished with "and it was very pretty.indeed." " Yet there are more recorded slips made by ministers, perhaps, because a ridiculous thing said,, from the pulpit'becomes thrice ridiculous, as, for instance, the announcement made by a country clergyman just before the benediction that Mrs Blank, a poor w.idow of the parish, desired him to thank all those members of the church who-had so kindly "assisted" .at the death of her husband. The village, doctor, who had given his services on this sad occasion was the most chagrined. - In another Illinois church a social was to be held. .--Knowing that the small fry wns-much in evidence at such times and that it often became boisterous, treading indeed upon the ecclesiastical and other toes and x sitting upon the ecclesiastical silk hat, the Ladies' Aid society,' -which was managing the affair, determined to word the notice that parents would not feel at liberty to' bring their offspring. Sunday the .minister, glancing hastily at the paper ��������� in his .hand, saw only, the words "children" and "invited" and, folding it up, proceeded to say that the ladies specially urged the children to be present, adding, that no occasion was complete without them. ���������*��������� "The, Saviour <said, -'Suffer little chil- dren to'coine unto me,' and it,is the glory of the Christian church that it cherishes these tender little plants and that uever does it wish them to foel that they ar-3 not welcome within her gates. , Let the children, therefore, be present as far as possible." 'They were, it is,needless to record, attacking the cake plate with astonishing results and testing the capacity of-the ice cream freezer. 7inother minister made an announcement^ which 'grated harshly upon the nerves of the-more sensitive part of the congregation, "alttiough he was probably 'u'nable'to avoid doing it, as'the notice had been sent in properly signed. It was just after a beautiful and touching solo, sung by the tenor of the choir���������one* of those songs which" seem "to lift the singer and the listener up above earthly things. ���������WhiIe the audience was still breathless and the tenor was about to take his seat the pastor arose and-announced cheerfully there would be a chicken pie social- in the parlors of the" church Thursday night, at which a large attendance was expected. There is a story, not a new one, certainly, and probably not a true one. but one which is applicable, of a minister whose discourse was upon the wonders of creation and God's care of the least .as well as of'the greatest of his works. "When God created the mountain, he made the tiny grain of sand. When he made a Niagara, he also made the little dewdrop. When he made the huge elephant, his hand formed the tiny gnat, and when he made me he made a daisy." In these opinions his hearers may have concurred and may not have. A Presbyterian minister, writing in an English religious monthly, gives a few genuine slips made by the clergy of his acquaintance. One of these stories is of a young pastor who labored among the fisher folk of the east coast and who was much given to metaphors. This Sunday morning he spoke of the soul sailing out upon the sea of eternity, and he was almost dramatic. "Look," he cried, "at yonder ship! The rBlue Peter is at the masthead; the sails are hoisted. She rises on the swelling waters like a swan. And now the anchor is raised and slung trom���������from���������fr"��������� Here he paused, while the congregation, every member of which knew a ship from l'oie to alt, waited v\ith expectant interest. "From the place where it Ought to be!" he finished desperately. "'E means well," said an old seaman after the service, "but w'at can you think of a man as doesn't know the cat's head?" Then there was the brother who gave a series of sermons on 'the prophet .Jonah and.* coming to the part about the storm, told with fervent gestures how the sailors "rowed and rowed to bring the sea to land." This is much like the effort of that other pastor who described to his people the situation of a man who was hanging over a frightful abyss and ended with the words. "And to him the moments seemed minutes." Once a minister in picturing Nemesis overtaking the guilty spoke of the "sound of footprints approaching" and was dismayed tit the smile which went round. Yet not all mistakes are mere slips of the tongue. An old Methodist minister of blessed memory who preached in central Illinois twenty-five years ago used repeatedly to speak of the "thousand cattle feeding upon ten thousand hills," which is a remarkable feature performed all at once. "But let not the maker of slips worry too much about them," is the advice of an old minister, "for it is the really earnest man who does it most, and for every such slip there is likely to have been enough of forceful speaking to make an impression and perhaps to live forever."

The English government give3 away -"."30,000 a year to encourage matrimony among the women employees of the tele- giaph service. Women enter the servico at aa average age of sixteen. After six: years, when the operator has reached tho official marriageable age of 22, she is entitled to a'i allowance from thecstate. For each year of service she can draw one month's pay. As her salary is ?25 a month, she can then claim .^ljO. If sho waits until she is twenty-eight, she can draw $400. In practice the average amount paid has been found to be about 9200. The Care of Oily Hair. Too oily hair is the lesult of a poor circulation. It should be constantly attended to and washed every week. It is caused by too, much grease between'the skull and tho scalp. It i.s bad grease and can only be removed by massage because- massage is the only thing that will bring the blood to.the1 surface. To pour a tonic on greasy hair is like pouring water on olive oil. Greasy hair has large pores. It requires more washing, more soap or shampoo, less brushing and much massage.

A light in one of the upper ���������Iwindow's, .which had only just been extinguished, had made them postpone for 'awhile their attempt, and this delay had 'given the first burglar an opportunity tov jask his partner the circumstances which jhad led to this particular graft. ��������� "The lady who occupies this house," ' -whispered the second burglar, "has xfilO,-, :000 ia cash.

Tho first burglar was silent for awhile.. '���������Jim," he said at last, "I-haven't the heart to do it. She's a widow. Let's wait." ' o - "Wait!" exclaimed the second bnrglar. "For what?"

The ' Poets' Sweet Creatures Who
Have Cnpt-aretl Men���Tlie Difference
Between Jlavcellu ^and Trilby���Wo-
( man's Tritimpli _u-t Hand.
j Even tbe most genuine and sincere of
girls are so certain at the ago when they
are pliant, to impressions more or less
consciously to shape themselves upon
some beau ideal-embodied in fiction or tho
drama that one is inclined- to -wonder,
which of the very opposite types of character in certain" books which we have all
read with the excitement, the animation,
of making .a vital discovery of the possibilities of life is likely to be most deep
and permanent in its effects.
A bright girl's restlessness,,h-er aspirations, her misgivings, her curiosity, her
desire in some way to possess the whole
-woL-ld, all help her to lind a penetrative
suggestiveness in the expedience of some
happily constituted being, who does easily
nnd admirably what she herself longs to
do. Emerson says that we must read history actively and not passively, esteeming
history the text and our own lives the
commentary. And this is precisely what
youth does in reading history and to some
degree poetry. ( ,
From Homer down the poets vied with
each other in drawing heroines who have
captivated generation after generation of
men. Take Shakespeare alone, aud iu
Juliet, Portia, Beatrice', Imogen, Perdita,
' Cornelia, Yolumnia and Constance, not
��� to say .Cleopatra, -he has with curious
' ' felicity anticipated every charming phase
of ** womanhood���in Portia and > Beatrice
., even' tho well equipped college bred girl
of today." o " . ' . "
It is a pleasing modern fallacy that
woman has.lately beon, if not invented,
at. least/ discovered, or,' perhaps, evolved,
out of peculiar conditions in answer to
the crying needs ot" the end of the nine-'
7tecnth century. There is a growing belief, too, that the twentieth ceutury is to
witness -the triumph, of woman. 'Never-
, theless, ever since her, creation woman
aas been doing half the work of the world
x .and doing it fairly well, without "any
. .theorizing"on the subject, aud it is only
in these later days that she/hasfbeea i;e-
-quired to bring such proof of her clear
brain, large heart and practical efficacy
as can be written out for examination.
"You'would never have asked," says
* George Eliot, of one of her heroines, 7'a/
"any period of Mrs. Amos Barton's life ir
she sketched or played the piano. You
, would even, 7perhaps, have been rather
7 scandalizedjif she had descended from the
" serene dignity- of being to the assiduous
unrest of doing." Now,-the "heroine of*"
Mrs. Humphry Ward's finest book is an
"example'of .the "assiduous unrest of doing." She is a fine creature; her serious-,
ness puts to shame our frivolity, her courage our faint heartedness, her living energy our indolence. No heroine was ever
more absolutely up to date than Marcella.
' She is humanitarian, political economist,
" socialist, and is besides a beautiful girl,
with whom every man in the book falls
in love, and a nice girl, who makes every
woman anxious to be her -friend. She
gives herself freely to the cause of the
poor, longs for nothing so much as to live
iu the closest relations with them, work
with them and suffer with them. The injustice of things, .the sorrow of half ol
humanity, its bruises, aches and wrounds,
are a part of her consciousness, and she
overwhelms with her girlish disdain a
great peer who will not rebuild the cottages for the poor tenants on his estate.
For her the impossible does not exist; no
sense of contradiction between the large
desire and the limited efficacy of man.
One's heart kindles over the girlT^vith
her patience and her impatience, her impetuous haste, her dogged tenacity of perseverance, her pride and her humility, hei
love of sympathy, yet her disdain of any
need of it; her girlish vanity, yet hei
womanly self depreciation; her sensitive-
' ness, her high courage, and one weighs
her self assertion uiul willfulness against
her forgetfulness of self.
��� Trilby, on _the other hand, has hardly
'.the most rudimentary sense that life im-
��� poses any high duties upon her except to
be good to the little brother. As to the
rights of women, she has no feeling thai
��� they either need or care for auy more
.than they possess. She simply accepts
���the contradictory facts of existence, finding the most opposite ideas, conceptions
'and sentiments subsisting slide by side in
her experience substantially in agreement. Loving sunlight, warmth, fragrance, tenderness, she runs toward
whatever offers like a child. She cap
tivates on the instant, and the direct
charm of the story, always speaking tc
the heart, not only impresses the reader
'with the absolute sweetness and intrinsic
'purity of the girl, but prepares one foi
the inevitable tragedy. Tho author is as
much under the glamour exerted by Trilby's mysterious graces aud attractiveness
as his readers, yet his clear purpose, is
never clouded. She begins to feel the
meshes of the web which finally entangles
her at the very moment she is introduced
to the reader. The- moral of the story
unfolds as the story unfolds . with its'
strange, deep insight alike-into the beauty
of the 'world and the great, woeful heart
of things.
The marvel is how clearly this heroine
has thrown into relief the unusual sense
of the distinction, the beauty, the majesty of the simple, natural, unspoiled
woman. Trilby may be said to show a
reaction against the new ideas.cf woman
which men have never quite learned to
love, yet which have of late a little overbalanced and disturbed the. old elementary ideals.���Philadelphia Ledger.
IHE "NURSING MOTHER.
How -to Defeat tlie Old Sayin���� ��A
Tooth For Every Child.*"'
Nursing motlu** should take especial
care of their digestion not", simply on account of the- child, which, of course.V'is a
good deal,-but because of their own comfort aud well being. There are many
ways in which the system easily suffers
at this time, not the least among these
being the decay of the teeth. The old
saying, "A tooth "for every child," is not
without a foundation, inasmuch as, the
teeth!:.ar'e undoubtedly more, predisposed
to decay at this period of the woman's existence. I believe, however, that this decay is,>due iii large part to an acid dyspepsia developed about this time or
earlier in a good many cases'and causing
an undue amount of acid 'secretion, in tho
mouth, though in exceptional cases the
extra draft on the woman's system may'
need to bo considered. ' ' ���
To prevent this premature decay of the
teeth much may be done'by correcting
the accompanying digestive, disturbance
and the' administration of a good sirup of
lactophosphate of lime after meals. In
many cases history will show the beginning of this indigestion to run back some'
time before the birth of the child, and of
course it w.ere better if our treatment
could be instituted then. All healthy
mothers should nurse their babies if they
possibly can, for both mother and child
will be the better for it in the long run.
One of the surest .ways for the mother
to have plenty of milk is to take plenty of
milk herself, and, it'were better if this
milk be taken fresh from the cow. All
rich, stimulating articles of diet had ,best
be left out of the dietary'of the nursing
mother-. Plenty of bread and butter may
be allowed, and breakfast foods," with
lean meats once or twice a day; also eggs
in moderation. .Fried, dishes are to ,be
avoided.' Meat broths and soups, not too
greasy,' arc usually permissible. A wine-
glass'"of extract of malt drank while eating is often'a'godd tonic. ar
As directed especially to tlie indigestion
occurring at this time, I would prescribe,
to be administered before taking, nourishment,, a powder each one of which should,
be composed as ' follows: Caroid, five
grains; bicarbonate of soda, five grains;
popsinated' charcoal, three grains. This
will be found'to greatly assist ths diges-'
tion, the caroid serving also to make good'
bloodi through the enhanced assimilative
power. The' lime preparation or a preparation of hypophosphites can be used
in conjunction with this after meals,* and,
, both will be medication enough for most
cases." The caroid digestive powder may
often be used to good advantage to cor'
rect any "stomach or bowel disturbance
'in the child by simply giving it to tho
mother as indicated.���Dr. A. P. Reed in
Housekeepei*.

AN INTERESTING GAME.
An Unbroken Envelope.
Those *not in touch with the lives,of
working men1 and women can scarcely
���realize what it means^for"*'either sex to
bring home his or, her wage in "an un
broken envelope." Saturday; night means
freedom to spend, a taste of pleasure, a
bit of fun. It, would' lift the estimate of
human clfaracter if, ,to those who do not
have to measure their income by, their
labor, it'could be told how many thousand lads and tired, bright eyed girls
carry to their homes those tight sealed
little treasuries to be dispensed for the
family .good.' The sweetheart must wait,
the door of the theater remain closed, tho
coveted new clothes bo abandoned,' until
the rent is paid, the fuel is stored, the
younger children clothed and mother kept
from worry. The young lives erect themselves like pillars to uphold the roof and
stand guard until they can" without self
reproach pass on to their own homes.
. Strange Hi dinar Iflaces.
There are standing at the present day
Elizabethan houses known to contain
hidden chambers. The very positions
of these-chambers-can be shown, yet
their secrets have remained inviolate
for- centuries, the spring that should'
serve as the open sesame being undis-
coverable. 'Some day the , accidental
touch of a- girl's finger,, may set a column ofTstone rotating or a panel sliding ora door in a pictureframe^retreating on invisible hinges, and the secret
���if any remain���will be revealed. .
. The place of mystery- in, these, ancient granges that served as,shelter t��
a friend in distress might equally prove
the ,death of an enemy of "the house.
The priest's hole behind a fireplace'was
easily converted into an oven. There
were ' staircases which the foot of a
friend might press in perfect'security.
Another, not instructed how to tread,
sets his<foot apparently on the.same
place, the stairyawns open, and at the
end of the pit is" the -water. Here ia

Some time ago.jwhen traveling in northern Wisconsin, I came across a new
game, which," although simple and "easy
to play, was so fascinating that I think
every boy or girl would enjoy it. *
Here is the way to make the apparatus
needed: Take six boards about , eight
inches wide and two feet long and place
them on edge in a parallel position, with
the long edges' to the ground. With a
gimlet bore a hole in each corner of the
boards and through each ' set of holes
thus made insert aiv iron rod two and
one-half feet long.1 Adjust the boards on
the rods so that a space of about five
inches intervenes' between each, two
boards. Cut ten tin or wood doors five
inches, wide' and eight inches long to fit
iu the spaces under tlie ro'ds and between
the boards .and thon. hang these doors on*
the rods with cord or wire, taking care to'
have them loose enough to swing freely.

Pipe Smoking.
There are many pipe smokers who'do
not know how to get the best there is
. j-out of. their indulgence. The great
point'In pipe smoking is to smokeslow-
ly.��Nervous smokers smoke too rapidly
and burn their tongues with hot smoke,
besides failing entirely to get the fullest-arid best flavor out'of the" "tobacco.
It is all a matter of habit, but slow
smoking is a habit which it Is hard
for some people to acquire. In some
cases pipe smokers have tried for years
to check their smoking speed without
success. They began too late, and the
habit of rapid' smoking is shaken off
with difficulty when it is once acquired.
Rapid smoking is as bad as** rapid
eating���or worse. It is also "bad form."
Whether it is cigar, pipe or cigarette,
the smokingshould be deliberate 'in order to get the fullest enjoyment. It Is
especially so-with a pipe.
"Womanly Items.
As a woman loveth, so is she.
Sometimes it is when a woman doesn't
talk that she is most interesting.
A sereue nature and content are the
secrets of beauty.
A girl never wants her engagement announced until she has her solitaire.
A woman can use a greater variety of
gestures to stop a street car than Del-
sarte ever dreamed of.
The secret of good dressing isn't so
much what a woman wears as what she
doesn't wear.
Some women's ideas of "equal rights"
are all the prerogatives of a man plus the
privileges of a woman.
A woman may have the most elegant
and elaborate paper cutter imaginable,"
but she generally prefers to cut the pages'
of her magazine with a hairpin.
Made Over Dishes.
One of the best made over dishes in
which cold roast beef figures is this:
Slice tho meat vciy thin and make a
sauce by browning two tablespoonfulg
of butter, adding the same amount of
flour and , stirring until, both are brown.
Then add one-quarter of a teaspoonful
each of curry powder, mustard and salt
and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of paprika. When all have been mixed, add
one cupful of stock and a tablespoonful
of lemon juice. Keep this sauce hot until needed and pour it over tlie cold
meat just before serving. Cold lamb or
veal may bo treated in the same manner.���Betty Bradoen in Boston Traveler.

1 Strange Funerals.
-A Chinese funeral, so the Celestials gay,
never proceeds straight from the house of
mourning to the .graveyard. The devil is-
alwaysron the lookout for funerals and
follows them to seize the soul of the dead
man, so that in order to outwit the evil
one the bearers take the body and start
with it in a brisk trot, while the, packs of
firecrackers and pyrotechnics emitting a
dense smoke and vile smell are set off
just as the procession starts. Having
thus deceived Old Nick as to the direction
taken by the bearers they run as fast as
they can with the body, then suddenly
turn a corner while more fireworks are
burned. The devil cannot turn a corner
easily, and so, if really in pursuit, he
shoots on by,' and by means of a good deal
of sudden turning aud stopping and a
lavish expenditure of fireworks the funeral procession generally gets to the
grave in safety.

BrO'Surge'oner, W.M.', also spoke for some time'his speech'being , characteristic of an easy style, the language beingv clear, definite, and complimentary. His address was confined chiefly to the various benefits denved by members of,the Order. .We certainly felt, at its conclusion that our esteem for the organization had not been misplaced but rather, that we had reason to be thankful because of our connection therewith. Songs, games, and different forms of interesting recreations filled in a great part of the time, and so quickly did the evening pass that the hour for going arrived all too soon. Before^ dispersing,. however, several patriotic songs were sung including��������� The maple leaf, our emblem dear, The maple leaf for ever, God save our King, And Heaven bless The maple leaf for ever. We regretted very much that more membes of the Order were not with us especially - of those belonging to " True Defender " Lodge, No. 160, as the entertainment was one, both with regard to the social and appetising part of it, which would be difficult to surpass.
