members of that craft in this city said a
day or two ago: 1T is almost impossible

those shoulder humps are SO high that
they cause a shadow to be cast over the

face. | have had several instances OF

Candy That Didn't Go Down.

George Harmon, manager OF CeHtral
Music hall, is very fond Of candy. He Is
seldom without box of bon bons on his
desk. George has many callers and they
all help themselves to his candy, SO he
finds he does not get many sweetmeats
himself in the long run. He paysfo the
candy all the same, and this calling ousl-
ness has worried him for some time. The
other day he unbosomed himself to his
friend and neighbor, Mr.. Boles, of whom
he buys his candy, and he told him his
plight. IN fix it" said Boles; and he
made up box of very inviting looking

then Harmon said: Good morning!

but he would never do it again. Joe
Oliver, of the Peoples, was the next Wis

and then turned pale and went out.

for his hated rival, Adonis George Fair,
of the Haymarket. FINALLY ur dropped

said as he bit into an alkaline bonbon
For moment his face paled, and then

laugh on him, and he made his bluff

every woman should be allowed some
settled amount for her household as well

such an arrangement is largely the Sc
cret of domestic happiness, and though
few men will agree with me in this, J
think it would provo more economical
plan in the long run. Much domestic
discord would thereby be avoided, and
all members of the family would be hap
pier. | think it is quite as important
that the girls of the family should have
an allowance as their mothers, and GER
tain amount should be given to them
regularly for their spending as soon as
they are old enough to realize the value
of money.
"This is especially so in these days of
not educated as they were in former
years to household work, and are thus
left to the mercy of circumstances. How
often do we see girls reared in luxury
compelled by loss of means and misfort-
une to earn their own living, only to
find themselves totally unframed in all
practical knowledge! Nothing SO COM
pletely fits one for every emergency in
life, whether it be for prosperity or ad-
versity, as a good, solid education in the

estimate of money, and how else can
this be obtained except by careful train
