in consequence, and from once heavy

THE LAST STRAW.

Mrs. Slack was next neighbor to the
Peppers when they bought their cottagc
at Scaview, and on the very first night
she tumbled over the scattered bits of
furniture in tho passage and appeared in
their midst unexpectedly to borrow lit
tie salt. She said it was nice to have
neighbors again, and that Mrs. Pepper
looked so sweet she knew she wouldn't
mind.
at midnight she reused them from their
slumbers to inquire if they had any chol-
era medicine, for little Peter had been
eating too many green apples and she
thought he would die. She said she was
thankful Mrs. Pepper had moved in, and
that but for that circumstance she might
have lost her darling. Mrs. Pepper was
thankful, too, and the two women en-
braced with tears. Then Mrs Slack bor-
rowcd some mustard for plaster.
The next day she sent Peter, fully re-
covered and with his pockets full of
green fruit, to ask for the AK, the handle
having come off theirs; also rolling-pin.
Fortunately the Peppers possessed
three axes and two rolling-pins so they
did not feel disturbed by the fact that
the articles were never returned. But
after short interval filled by loans of
coal, potatoes, bread and cheese, Mrs
Slack came herself to borrow the folding
table, a pair of scissors, the pattern of a
basque, and low rocking-chair. She
was going to make some dresses, and if
Mrs. Pepper would step over and fit her
she'd be much obliged.
Mrs. Pepper did it and made the but
ton-holes, too. Mrs Slack never could
learn to make button-holc. The table,
the scissors, the rocking chair, and the
pattern all remained at Mrs. Slack's.
The next week Mrs Slack borrowed n
mantle and q waterproof.
Mrs. Pepper by this time grew bold
enough to beg that she would send them
home when she returned.
| Mrs. Slack said "Of course" with
some offensc, but when Peter was next
seen it was not to bring back those arti-
cles. What he wanted was the baby
carriage and market basket.
Christmas time came and with it cards
for party. The Stacks so hoped they'd
all come and enjoy themselves.
Having accepted what was more natu-
raj than to take an interest in the pro-
ccedings-to lend sugar and ice-cream
freezer, butter, and the egg bcater, the
cut-glass goblets and the best tablc-cloths,
the spice-box entire, and lots of other
thingsa Finally Mrs. Slack, with her
gown tucked up and her eyes sparkling,
ran it to say that they thought dance
would be nice and could Mrs. Pepper
spare the piano for one evening9
"Therc's nobody to move it," said
Mrs. Pepper, rejoiccd to have IN excuse.
'T'm so sorry"
Mrs. Slack laughed and went ito the

How to Get a reorly skin.

sec u lot of people on tho street who
are out of kitor internally, says writer
in The Boston Globe. What they need
is artificial aid. They arc too lazy to
walk, but treatment, especially for the
skin, is necessary, and though it may
seem severe, this is highly recommended:
A tablespoonful of sulphur taken every
other morning for q week, thon omitted
for thrco mornings and then taken again,
will clear tho complexion, but will prob
ably make the black spccks that bother
women SO much moro numerous for
week or two. A mixture of powdered
birthstone in diluted glyccrinc, rubbed
on ut night in connection with the other
treatment, will soon cause them to dis
appear. Wash this Off carefully in tho
morning with soap and water in which
there is n littlo ammonia. This is not
commended for women who arc slcndcrly
built, nervous i'll temperament, and ap-
parcntly bloodlcss, but for those who
suffer because of tho oilincss of their
