One Kind of a Saving Woman.

But from all trencher scraping and table
saving. preserve US from the housewife
who audibly counts noses and measures
capacities before her guests; who wonders
if there will be enough to 90 around, and if
there will be any left to warm over for to-
morrow's breakfast; who talks Of the cost
of this and the price of that until every
thing has a metallic taste, a flavor of
money; who gives directions to set the rest
of the chicken in the pantry, and to tell
the servants to eat the cold corned beef.
Yes, the old bachelor was right; a saving
woman scrimps at the table.-Exchange.

A woman's Repulsive Pet.

Strange pets some people have. On the

day a woman rendered herself conspicu-
Gus in crowded car by monopolizing an
extra seat with big satchel. As the train
sped on a snake over five feet long crawled
out, much to the alarm of the passengers.
The woman begged the people not to be
frightened, coiled the serpent up and re-
turned him to the satchel with the expla-

Miss Braddon at Home.

Miss Braddon leads a quiet and almost a
secluded life at Richmond Hill. Most OF
her leisure is spent IN the saddle, and she
is still in harness, fguratively speaking, as
an author. OF late years she has not often
sought the literary circles of which she
was formerly an ornament. She very rare
ly appears in public and never at any
gathering where there is crowd. Her
constant companion, when his engage
ments will allow of it, is her SOD, Mr. Ger
aid Maxwell, the actor. Miss Braddon's
general health is excellent.-London Star.

The way to serve rried oysters.

Only the best and largest oysters should
be chosen for frying. Dip them, one by
one, in -four, then in beaten egg, season
with salt and the merest dash of cayenne
dip again in powdered butter cracker and
fry them in boiling hot fat, deep enough
to float a doughnut. Turn them in frying
and cook them in all for four minutes.
Drain them thoroughly, lay them for a
moment on coarse brown paper to absorb
any fat that may cling to them, and serve
them at once in folded napkin on a hot
dish accompanied by quarters of lemon
and waferlike slices of brown bread dainti-
ly buttered.-Exchange.

An Etching in Fun.

"Why do you work for living%
1t was Clare de Macgillicuddy who spoke
these fateful words.
And Clare was rich.
Rich be yond the most resplendent dreams
of the dozens and dozens who sought heI
hand
But she loved man who was poor
And he was respectable.
Respectable beyond the limit ofreason-
Because he would not avail himself oi
his opportunities and organize a matri
monial combine with Clare, permitting heI
20 put up the capital.
He was q rank outsider, he was.
And be apparently wanted TO stay there.
He was in love with his work
That was another evidence that he had
mental alteration in half dozen places.
"Algernon," she cried, in passionate,
pleading tones, tell me, why do you work
for living"
He had not answered her when she had
asked this the first time, but he could not
refrain longer.
Glare" he said, and there was that IN
his voice which makes the heart grow sick
and echoes through the interminable CORR
Gors Of despair, ''listen 20 me; / work for
a living because the darn thing won't work
for me-"
Glare uttered piercing scream and flung
herself into his arms.
Algernon was q funny man on the Local
newspaper
And she was on TO him at last.-Detroit

Convent Hair.

"Convent hair" is an article well known
to the trade and highly priced. When a
young woman takes the veil in the Roman
Catholic church her hair is cut off, and the
tresses are sold for the benefit of the con-
vent. As the hair is cut pretty close to the
head the tresses are usually long, and thus
convent hair" has special value.-Chi-
cago Herald.
