Mislaid Money.

Here is little anecdote from which sew

be used as an argument against over activi.
ty, for instance, or as showing that a man
may have money about his person and still
have no ready money. The Boston Courier
relates that small boy riding in street
car was unable to sit quietly, as passengers
in public conveyance ought to do. He
had his fare in his hand, but now and then
laid it on the seat or put it into his mouth
"a filthy habit--when he needed both
hands to execute one of his nervous gym
nastic movements
He was just in the middle of a lively at
tempt to pick up a bit of paper with his
left hand twisted under his right leg when
the conductor came along for the fares.
The small boy sat up suddenly, and at
once began to gasp and choke in a manner
really alarming. The conductor looked at
him as if he expected him to go into fit.
Instead of that, however, the poor fellow
recovered himself little, and stammered
out: you'll have to charge my fare to my
father. mister, please. I've swallowed my
nickel"

heart that could feel He sympathized

and birds. He was intolerant of any in.

he wore blue jean trousers which were
usually too short for him. This sympathy
with Others grew.

some birds crying and found that young

An Amusement for Evening Hours.


Good Housekeeping suggests the follow
ing game, called "Characters:"
Send two people out of the room. Choose
the name OF some noted character with as
many letters as there are people remaining
In the room. Having distributed the let
ters in order, each must tacitly choose
some known character whose name begins
with the letter he or she possesses. When
the two previously sent out return they
are told with whom the name begins, and
find out by careful questioning, to which
only yes or no may be answered, who the
character is whom the person addressed
has chosen. Having found it they keep
the initial in mind and proceed to question
the second, and so on until the last one
has been discovered.
For example, supposing six to be remain
ing in the room, Kennan might be chosen,
then the six might choose the following
sub-characters:
K.-Charles Kingsley.
E-Little Emily.
N.-Neptuue.
N.-Nathan the Wise.
A.-Adam Bede.

a large white duck that lived not long ago
at an English farm house and were dear

Everywhere the duck went the kitten
went; she would walk by her side, and
purr, and rub her head against the ducks
wing Now and then the duck would stop
and run her bill over the kittens fur; the
kitten seemed to like this very much.
Sometimes she would stand on her two
little black hind feet and clasp her front
paws around the ducks neck. The kitten
never took any notice of the other ducks

A Valuable Institution In the Kitchen.
Tha stock pot is not only an economical,
but also very convenient addition to the
supply of kitchen utensils. 1t insures the
saving of the bones of cooked joints, which
would otherwise be thrown away without
any attempt to extract the nutritious sub
stances they contain; and it also provides
the cook with constant supply of mate
rial for her gravies and sauces It need
not be a large nor an expensive one for
this purpose Where an ordinary kitchen
range is used the stock pot may be COM

the size and shape that can be put into the

Cooked or uncooked) can be put, covered
with cold water and left to simmer for
some hours. The bones must lie split and
crushed or broken into smal. pieces, in or
der that the gelatine which they contain
may be dissolved by coming in contact
with the water.
IL the bones are unbroken the gelatine Of
the outer surface only is dissolved, and
thus great portion is wasted. When the
oven is heated for pastry or cakes, ETC., the
jar should be taken out, as the stock
should not boil but remain slowly cooking
at temperature few degrees below boil
ing point. If this is attended to, the dis
agreeable odor of the day-before-y yesterdays
soup will not pervade the house.
This stock, when strained from the
bones, etc., and allowed to become thor
Oughly cold, in order that the fat may con-
geal and thus be easily removed, is quite
good enough for ordinary gravy, sauces or
vegetable soups. The fat which is taken
from the surface of the stock should be
added to the fat for clarifying.

Ornamental Lattice Work, Useful for
Screens, Eta. Made with RegIet sticks.
A comparatively new material utilized
by amateur home decorators is the replet
stick. Reglet sticks, It may be well to ex-
plain, are thin strips Of cherry or pine,
whose proper purpose is best understood
by those initiated into the mysteries of
the printers art.
Good Housekeeping tells how TO make
very pretty lattice work of these reglet
sticks by weaving them togetherat regular
intervals, ina sort OF basket work. The
tbinnest reglet sticks are but little more
than n sixteenth of an inch thick, n mere
ribbon Of wood, and they range from that
width to quite substantial strips of wood
Their length Is three feet The thin sticks
are very pliable and easily handled, and
the veriest novice in carpentry can succeed
m making pretty lattice work The open
spaces over transoms can be filled in with
this lattice work, and If there is n window
where 1t is desirable to obstruct the view
without shutting out the light, then this
plan is particularly desirable. In the case
of an alcove in the hall, the ceiling was too
high to make IL desirable that a curtain
should be hung from n pole near the top
OF the wall, and so pretty lattice work Of
these reglet sticks was constructed, about
three feet in depth, and from it the curtain
depended.
A pleasing variety can be secured by
using alternately strips of cherry and pine
or by staining the strips to represent diff
ferent woods. The basket work can be
varied by two transverse strips run over
and under the upright ones, and the angle
can be made more or less acute, according
to the taste of the designer
The width and depth of the place where
the lattice is to be placed should first be
definitely determined, and then the strips
carefully cut the right length. They will
keep their place after they have been woven
together, and need only be secured at the
ends by being fastened to light frame
with small finishing nails.

The Right Kind of ralk.

Since the 'tthirty three met in the
board of trade rooms Tuesday night to
carry out the idea of factional control of

ends. Failing to get sufficient endorse
ment of their ''star chamber methods
by petition, they attempted to capture
the convention Saturday night, and in
this they received welI-merited rebuke.
Even after this, the 'organ,'' knowing
it be false, hoisted at the head of its coz
umns Monday morning, what it termed
the "Citizens' Ticket" when only one
man received a majority at the public
primary, and the ticket voted to-day by
the faction was headed the same wav.
To-day, to "snatch success from the laws
of defeat" political strikers commenced
at an early hour at nearly every street
corner to procure votes by all manner of
presentations. There being nothing
at stake the people were apathetic re-
garding the election. The water uues-
ion had been settled and the only object
the citizens had was to rescue the muni-
cipality from the control of a faction.

A BOY OF HIS WORD.

You may sing of the heroes of yore,
You may speak of the deeds they have done,
OF the foes they have slain by The score
OF the glorious battles they've won:
You may seek to eternize their fame,
And it may be with goodly success:
But it is not the warriors name
That my heart and my spirit would bless,
Though oft at their mention my soul hath been
stirred,
Yet dearer to me is the boy of his word.
You may speak of the great ones of earth.
OF prelatcs, of princes, andikings;
doubt not there's something of worth
In the bosom of all human things;
But dearer to me than the whole
Pageantry, splendor and pride,
Is the boy with frank, honest SOUL
Who never his word hath belied.
Yes priced above all that this earth can afford,
Though lowly and poor, is the boy of his word.
