Slippers for tho Rabv.

I have lately made pair of slippers
for my ten.months-old baby, which
find both pretty and useful, and ]
think perhaps some other little one
would like to own pair like them. It
had been puzzling ME for some time
how to keep my little boys feet warm
in the morning before he is dressed
for the day; for he has the inconyenient
habit of getting up between the hours
of five and six O'Clock, and of course he
does not get his bath for several hours
Now these are the slippers l have
made for him, and wonder how all
this time have got on without them:
Measure your baby's foot; crochet or
knit out of single zephyr perfect
square, little longer each wav than
his foot, double and sew the two ends
together, crochet scallop around the
the top. run a piece of elastic through
the scalloPs: drawing it small enough
to fit the baby's ankle, and put a rib
bon bow on the front of the slipper
The baby's foot shapes the slipper.
and is kept nice and warm on cold
mornings. I have seen them used for
children five or six years old.-Babv.

Something to Think About.

Every woman, says writer in Good
Housekeeping, should have some
special thing to think about except the
regular weekly round of duties; in fact.
some aim in life except that of cooking.
eating. and sleeping and the contingent
possibility of dying soon to get rid of
it all. No aim and no change make
asylums overflow, leave children
motherles7, and make life not worth
the living. Every woman had her
ambitious dreams once-what were
they? To write? Then let her write
every day, if but three lines, on some
subject she is most familiar with. To
paint? Let her get water-coldrs, paint
flowers, and work at it every day, if
for only half an hour. If one has Int
half chance let her prove that She
can do more than many who have not
only a whole chance, but many chances.

Ella was Aunt Margie's little girl
and had come with. her mother and
cousin to visit the fair. After they
had come within the building her
mamma told her to put her paraso]
down, but the child did not choose to
mind.
':Your mamma says for you to put
down your parasol," said Mabel. quite
gently.
Il SAINT; 1 want it up
Eddie looked with establishment at a
child that could put on such airs and
speak so pertly.
The little miss marched on. She
wanted the folks to see her pretty para
SOL. She expected every one to ad-
mlre her. but they did not. No one
noticed her excepting one girl, who
remarked as she passed on: See the

some OF the pretty things, and wished
1t was shut. A man coming along
Just then jostled against it and knocked
1t out OF her hands. It rolled along
the ground, catching up the dust at
every turn. Then Miss Ella set up a
loud cry.
Good enough for hertz Mablc was
just going to say, but she didn't. Her
mother bad tau bt her not to say ill.,

Concerning Oysters.

New York Graphic: ''Where are the
oysters consumed?"
MAINLY in New York." was the re.
ply. "About 200,0o0,00O per year
is the amount of the New York con.
sumption. The hotels have improved
very much in this respect in the last
half-dozen years, as their patrons
showed that they knew a good thing
and demanded it. To few Eastern
cities, however, this is confined, for
all through the West even the best
hotels slap down the cheapest quality
OF oysters before their guests. The
Western people are being educated up
to knowledge of oysters, and the
demand tor the best qualities is rapidly
growing. Chicago is the distributing
centre for all that region, and takes
about $4,000 day. They are sent
West without the shells in large pals
containing 1000 and a chunk of ice.
You do not often find oysters on the
s0ell in Chicago on account of the
heavy freight charges. 1t is cheaper
to send barrel of oysters to Europe
than to Chicago"
'.When is an oyster in the best con-
dition?''
~, "When between 2 and years old.
Inc planting and cultivation of oysters
Is what makes them expensive, for
they must be taken care of like flowers.
we plant number OF seed oysters in
certain place, and leave them there
on mud bottom to fatten and grow
tor a couple of years or a little less.
and then remove them to q hard bot
tom, on which they get their shane
best there they remain perhaps a wear.
and are then fit for market. OYSTERS
very often grow to be dozen wears

Mary AIMS Pct Weasel.

Ann Slattery, the nineteen
year-eld daughter of Martin Slattery.
railroad section foreman of Sligo, Pa,
had two lovers-Michael Flass and
Lyman Ritz. Mary Ann encouraged,
in coquettish way, the young Flass.
The young women is very fond of pets.
She had two large gray squirrels, fox,
two green parrots. a knocking bird, a
large rattlesnake, a coon. and any
number of cats and dogs. Not satisfi-
ed with this museum, she pinned for a
weasel. and y few weeks ago, when
young Lyman Ritz called one evening
on Miss Slattery, he made her glad by
taking with him and presenting to her a
willowy and sharp-eyed weasel. This
seemed to fill her cup of happiness,
and young Ritz thought he had reason
to believe that she would not refuse to
to fill his. But, in spite of tho weasel,
the sad coquette gave in to the suit of
Ritt's rival Michael Flass, and it. has
been known for fortnight past that
she and the rival were engaged.
The successful lovers father has q
fine lot of.chickens. For several weeks
their numbers were decreased by the
unmistak able visits of fox or weasel.
Mr.. Flass' dutiful son Michael placed
a trap in position few nights ago to
capture the nocturnal despoiler of thu
paternal hen house. The next morn
ing the trap enclosed a weasel. The
same morning there was great grief at
the slattery homestead, for Miss Mary
AIMS pet weasel had escaped and
could not be found. An hour or so
later it was learned by Mary Ann that
Michael Flass had TRAPPED a weasel.
She instantly Unidentified the dead
weasel as her lost pet, although it had
no blue ribbon around its neck or
marks of any kind to distinguish it
from other weasels. She charged her
accepted lover with having trapped the
weasel because he was Jealous of its
having been the gift of his rival, and
broke off her engagement with him on
the spot.
Young Ritz took advantage of the
situation, and came on the scene again,
and until Saturday last had, to all ap-
Pearances, taken the place in Miss
Slatterys affections made vacant on
the tearing away of the Michael Flass's
image. On Saturday, however, the
moor OF the old woodhouse in Slattery's
back yard was removed to find what
was supposed be the body of a dead
rat. however, the body of a dead
weasel was found, and from the fact
that it had blue ribbon around it's
neck the coy Mary Ann was forced to
recognize it as that of her lost net
weasel. What killed it was unknown.
What result this post-mortem de-
velopment will have on the compli-
Gated affairs of the Ritz
heart time alone will show. At present
the heart is badly shattered.
