A Duet for Two Sweet Female
Voices--Tempo, Breath less.

'Why, you dear thingl How do you
do? And how do you do? And where
have you been all this time? And I'm so
glad to see you? So gladl And you're
looking just lovely-just perfectly
lovely! And what a sweet bonnet Paris?

see youl And you're looking so well!
And what lovely weather we're having,
And oh. how's baby?-dear, sweet little
thing. He's the living image of you and
Charlie,''
"Oh, thanks. dear baby's doing
splendidly; got another lower front
tooth through and he's going to have a
big pimple right on the end of his dear
little nose,"

s-Oh, thank you dear, that's ever 50
kind of YOU, but it wasn't anything Sc
rious; he was only trying his new tan
dem pair, and he found out afterward
that the shaft horse had belonged TO a
policeman and learned to stop at every
rumshop he came to, and the leader was
a circus horse that had been taught TO
read. and SO bolted for every sign of
HAY for sale. or Meals at all hours
that he saw, and so poor Charlie was a
bit shaken up. and decided TO sell the
beasts for ladies' saddle horses and so

Didn't Quite Like Smoking Jackets

\ young married man of one of our
neighboring cities celebrated his birth
day the other day, and in the evehing
came home burdened with a mysterious
package which, he explained TO his
wife, he had found just as he stepped
of the street car" Of course it was
opened and examined Immediately.
Wonderful TO relate it contained a
smoking Jacket. In the twinkling of
an eye his coat was off, the jacket was
tried on, and, strange to say, fitted like
the paper on the wall. From the cor
ner of her eve the shTewd little wife
caught from the reflection in the mirror
his pleased, happy smile.
She was shrewd little wife. ''It s
lovely she said. turning him around
and surveying him from every point of
vantage. ''She is actually going to let
me wear il without a struggle" he
thought to himself. ''But We must
advertise ii, of course" she sighed
gently. 'Of course" responded he
rather reluctantly. ''Of cOurse''-i
little moro brightly, as he reflected that
the Jacket never had been lost, and of
course there was no one to identify or
claim it, With great alacTity he wrote
out the notice for the papers and added
That ANYONE who had lost such par
Gel could have the same by paying
charges and proving property"
When he went away with the ad. the
little wife med away to a very dear
friend. She asked him if he had not
placed it just where had found it,
and if he could prove the property by
finding pin under and a certain scrap
OF paper in the pocket, and she had her
revenge when she witnessed the crest
fallen look with which the property
was turned over, tried on and borne of
by her ally.

ReCompense Enough.

Three Of US walked into the office of
hotel in little town in Mississippi
one night, and when the landlord had
been aroused from his nap behind the
stove. a big dog kicked off the only
bench in the room, and the smoking
lamp turned up SO that we could see
each other. he sized us UP and said;
Gentlemen, I'm poor landlord but

''How about breakfast ?"
''Well, you can count on bacon, 'ta-
tiers, and hoe-cake, with mighty poor
coffee. The tablecloth is full o. holes,
We never use napkins, and maybe there
won't be forks enough to go round"
''See here y grOwled the drummer,

"Naryl"
"Any good water?n

"Any more wood to keep up the

mot a stick, but I'll cut some in the

The four of us stood looking at each
other for long minute, and it was the
landlord who spoke first. He said:
Scents, it's no use to kick. Pm sOr-
~. and that's all l can do. I'll light
another lamp, bring out pack OF

THE experience Of many farmers this
year shows that corn frozen solid while
yet damp has lis vitality entirely de-
stroyed. The losses are not so great as
they would have been but for the fact
that corn was suspected Of being poor
seed, and shrewd farmers tested it be-
fore planting. 1t is probable that IN
noted losses in the corn crop occur from
this cause every year
a MASS OF frssh COW or horse man
ure, put in a warm place and kept
moist, will be inviting for insects,
which will deposit their eggs, thus
breeding grubs and other worms. If a
shovelful OF the material be thrown to
the hens every day they will not fail to
find many choice ami dainty tidbits
that might not be obtained in any other
way.

THE object of plowing is not merely
to invert the soil but to pulverize it.
Old ground is like mortar when plowed
wet, and will not break up and become
mellow; hence it might as well be PLAN
ted without plowing at all. Sward
ground will be partially pulverized by
the elements evolved by the decomposi-
ton Of the gra.s roots in the soil.

FISH, almost more than anything
else, is improved by slow cooking; es-
pecially is this true when the fish is
boiled. If cooked rapidly 1t will fall
apart, and will neither taste nor look so
well. The great point insisted upon by
scientific cooks of the present day Is
this of taking abundant time to pre-
pare food in, and the fact that nothing
is gained by rapid boiling.
