A LADY of refinement and we'll
dressed entered one of our principal
grocery stores few days ago and or
dered quantity of sugar of such
quality as had been advertised at very
low figures. She said that she had

than was now asked she had concluded
to wait until the price advanced before
using. She had an eye open to econo-

On the st. Lawrence we once met q
poor Indian who had just come out of
prison. A more woe-begone and
wretched-looking man we never saw.
He was as limp as week old-paper col
lar. "Did they starve you in prison 2"
"No." "Did they treat you with cruel
ty, overtask you with labor or torture
you in the dark cell?" "No, the great
white chief did none of these things"
@Then why this tortured look, and why
is my brother so anguished?" "They
made me wash myself. Ugh!"-l To-

LAST week two men armed themselves
and went into Paris newspaper Office
to exterminate the editor. One of those
men lies dying in hospital, or is already
dead, while the other rests in dungeon.
This week two men armed themselves
and went into New Orleans news
paper office to exterminate the editor.
One of those men is in his grave and

raised my voice so that all could hear,

SOME of the prettiest waste baskets
this season are made to fit snugly into
the corner, having one rounded SIDE and
one right-angled side. Only the round
side need be trimmed, as the others
stand closely against the wall. The
secret of some pretty rooms is in the
way the corners are brought out" by
furnishing. A three-cornered stand,
with any kind of growing plant or flow
er set upon it, or even few pieces OF
bright ware, such as can now be had in
quantities for half dollar will do won
ders with sitting-room. It is easy to
get few shelves cut of ordinary pine,
or the thin boards used for bonnet
boxes, and when these are stained
cherry or ash, or simply valanced with
raveled-out crash and outlined with
some good design in colored crewels,
there is your corner absolutely lighting
up the room.
