A Good Breakfast.

Little Carl, four years old, was getting
ready for bed one night. He sat OH the
floor to take off his shoes, and remained
quiet so long that his mother turned to
see what the matter was. He was doing
his best to stick piece of camphor into
hole which he had discovered in one
of his stockings. On being asked what
he was trying to do, he answered: 81
want to keep the moths out, mamma"
Some time ago his mother told him
that the article which is found in al
most every house was called haSsOck,
and not cricket. This summer, while
in the country. party was sitting out
doors one warm evening. Carl CHANGED
to hear cricket chirp. He convulsed
the company by the remark: "Oh.
mamma, liften to the hassOck!"
On Thanksgiving day, while closely
watching his father carve the turkey
and cut the strings, preparatory to get
ting at the dressing, he broke out with:
;sHe had a pretty good breakfast, didn't
he, papa?"

AS we were driving out of Ogalalla,
Neb., we met farmer going to town
wearing big wolfskin overcoat and a
light straw hat, and with a calf in the
wagon behind the seat. We felt anxious

convinced they must be unique, so we
hailed him.

SYRIA'S BEAUTIFUL SLAVES.
The Arduous and Barbaric Duties
of the Wives Of the Bible

The ArduOuS and Barbaric Duties
of the Wives Of the Bible
Lands.
Swiss Cross.
There are grand women in Arabia:
women of ability, keen in insight and
wonderful capabilities. The duties of
the wife of a Syrian to-day are as fol-
lows:
She brings all the water for family
use from distant well. This is accom-
plished by filling immense jars and
bringing them upon her head. Sherises
early and goes to the handmill of the
village carrying corn, enough of which
for the days bread she grinds by slow,
laboriOus process. This she carries
made in the earth. 1t is a round hole.
lined with oval and fiat stones and
heated by fire built in it.
When the bread is mixed with water
and little salt she removes the ashes
and plaSteTS pats of dough against the
hot stones to cook. Could anything be
more crude?
She cares for her children-usually a
large family-and does all the rough
work at intervals, while It's husband
calmly smokes his ''argelie" or sits cross
legged upon his dlvan or hOuSetop in
converse with some equally hard-work-
ing member of Syrian society.
The houses are made of coarse stone.
roughly hewn. The house-tops are of
clay. covered with coarse gravel. In
hot weather the sun bakes this mud
formed roof. and large cracks appear.
The rain comes and. as a natural conse-
Quence. the roof leaks. This is some
thing of which the fastidious inhabitant
of the Bible land does not approve. 1t
does not add to his bodily comfort.
He remedies the difficulty-shall tell
you how? Not by any effort of his own;
far from it; his wife comes, ascends to
the housetop, and in the drenChing rain
propels roller of solid stone, backward
and forward, much as we use lawn
mower. This rolls the sun-dried cracks
together and prevent the entrance of
water.
These are only few of the Syrian
housewives duties. Her reward is not in
this world, surely. She cannot speak to
her husband in public; she can receive

An Eye to Business.

A gentleman in South Boston was
visiting the family of friend, which
embraced within it's circle very sweet
little girl of three OF four summers. He
took the child on his knee and
petted it after the fashion of men,
and finally drew nickel from his
pocket and presented it to her. The
mother, perceiving that the child did not
thank the giver, said to her: "NOw,
darling, what do you say to the gentle
man for giving you the nickel?''
The little one looked up into the mans
face and said: ''Please, sir, div me an
nudder nittel."

MARRIAGE SUPERSTITION
Brief Mention Made of Two OF
Three OF Them

Chicago Tribune
Three young society ladies whose
weddings had been announced to take
place recently, says all exchange, were
obliged to have the proposed ceremony
!ndehdltely postponed Oh account of
illness. 1t is no wonder that MANY
young ladies become ill as the great
day for them draws near, as the amount
of work they have to do in preparing
for the event is enough to wear
them out entirely. The worry
and bother of dressmaking and
constant shopping, and the Incidental
excitement, might we'll PROSTATE deli
cate bride. Just think of the dresses
the young woman of moderate ideas
generally starts off with! Of course.
there's the wedding gown, npon which
no end of work is expended: then the
travelling frOck for the tour, and. saw.
four morning dresses, with a like num-
Der OF tea-gOwnS and reception toilets:
then house-dresseS and two tailor-made
walking suits, with one slightly more
elaborate for special occasions. This is
only part of the outfit for under
garments, household linen and the
thousand and one ct ceteras must be
prepared.
AS the fall is the rushing season in
the marriage mart, it is we'll to recall
one or two interesting superstitions that
were religiouSly noted in the time of
our grandmothers. In the first place.
according to an ancient and reliable
chronicle, there are thirty-two days in
the year that are unlucky for marriages
and Journeys. They are as follows:
Jan. !, 2, 4. S, Z, 10 and Is; Feb. 6, Z and
Is; March l., 6 and 8; April and IL:
May 5, 6 and 7; June7 and Is; July
5 and 10; Aug. Is and 10; Sept.
6 and Z; Oct. Z; Nov. Is and is, and
Dec. Is, Ii and II. Everybody knows
that Friday is the the most unlucky day
for a wedding, while Wednesday and
Thursday are the luckiest. Our grand
mothers believed that it was most un-
fortunate thing if the bride, after finish
ing her toilet and leaving her looking
glass, should turn around again for
last glance at herself. 1t was also bad
for her to see the man she was about to
marry after dressing and before the
time had come for the ceremony.

the millions that are manufactured here.
There was time when there were no
fashion journals, just as there was
time when there were no newspapers or
magazines of any sort. The French
people then. as now, originated most of
the ladies' fashions for all the world,
and, as they had no way of making pic
lures of their new styles or papers to
describe them in, they made up dolls in
the latest French fashions and sent them
all over the world. These poupees, as the
French called them, were thought of so
much Importance in England that they
were allowed to be imported without
hindFance, even in the time of war.
These dolls not only showed the cut of
the costumes, but also reproduced faith
fully the materials and trimmings.
