The Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
mas been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
come of the0little frictions OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passeng ers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. "If were
running the road would make them in such
a way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF" grumbles the cook. "He
never lad TO work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to ave been fixed"
Hang such 4 collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business Pdlmake buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
ofmy neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar C es and begin to think of some
thing elsa. If they would sit down at the
nex5 convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepsns, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents. they might find themselves as In
dependently wealthy as the man who invent

INDISCRL1IINATE 81 WING.

''Save the bits of Irvine; wind them
on ball." So said an over saving
housekeeper to her new "help," as
the latter made roll of the paper in
which a leg of mutton had been sent
from the market, and put paper and
Irvine into the kitchen fire. The
'shelp,'' sensible young person, Jock
ing no reply. Here was an opportun-
ity not to be sighted; the woman
must convert this young person; she
said, s'Never throw away anything
that can be of use i" The servant talk
ed back"
''The cord was greasy, it was not fit
to use again"
1t was the preacher who was con
verted this time, and she sensibly
confessed herself more Jealous than
wise.
Nothing will take the place Of bit
of Irvine, as all housekeepers have
been convinced, but we prefer that
which has been used on packages con-
tanning other goods than sausage, fish
or suet. There are other doors more
grateful o the sense of smell.
A word might be said in regard to
the burning of wrapping paper. Moth
ing, unless, perhaps, salt, clam shells
or water melon Pinds, will deaden a
fire more effectually. I remember
washing day rendered unusually blue
of big paper conflagration. Better
leave the wrapping papers to be burn
ed after the dinner is cooked, if they
must be burned. Really, cremation
seems the most desirable method of
disposing of paper in which meat,
cheese and other articles coming I'M
der the head Of groceries, are wrap
ped. Cremation is one Of the indica-
tons of a progressive age.

ZOIa ON Marriage.

Emile lola, in curious article emit
tied Glow Folks Marry" expresses ex-
IRENE disapproval and disgust of the
French marriage system. He contrasts
with good deal of rough power the
different lives led after the age of 10
years old of the boys and girls who till
that time had been playmates and lead
ing practically the same existence. Aft
er this happy natural sort of life the
paths of the brother and sister widely
diverge. The son goes to the lycee,
which has been described as an ''inky
Styx,'' where some may swim, but many
drown, while the daughter is either
brought up in a tender sheltered home
or sent to q good educational convent,
where she is, if possible, even more pro-
tected from outside evil influences than
when under her mothers wing.
M. lola makes it quite clear that he
leans to the American system of educa-
ton. It would be interesting to know
what course he pursues with his own
children, two bright faced little people
who were much in evidence at the mar
rage of Leon Daudet to Jeanne Hugo

Sympathy For Prominent Criminals

The sentence of Ferdinand de Lesseps
to five years imprisonment as a common
felon appears to have caused intense sur
prise in the United States. Few seem to
doubt his guilt, but many condemn the
severity OF his sentence. This is unfor-
tunately q trait which is too common
here-sympa1hy for criminals. In this
country De Lesseps and his coconspira-
tors would never have been convicted,
let alone Imprisoned. When the rich
and venerable directors of the swindling
Glasgow bank We're first mulcted Of their
fortunes and then imprisoned for life, a
cry of horror went up from the United
States.
In this country we dislike to convict
prominent citizens Our moral fiber
seems to be getting fiabby. Our pity for
criminals is fast becoming maudlin It
will be good thing for the country
when we cease to honor thieves because
they are rich and stop shaking hands
with rascals because they are 'ss1nart.' =

Hunting UP Old Trinkets.

All sorts OF odd and old fashioned
trinkets are coming into favor. Old
fashioned pendent brooches that have
been treasured up for years are now be-
ing brought out and worn with picture
gowns. There is a perfect furore for
buckles Of every description, and every
body is ra1saclzing old boxes of heir
looms and worrying their elderly rela-
tives for the old paste or silver buckles
of former days. There is great fascina-
ton even in the new ones made now in
all the old patterns, for they smarter up
old gowns, lend attraction to slender
waists, give style to quaint headgear
and dressy daintiness to plain slipper.

Are you a busy, worried woman,
who comes home at night with tenn
pies throbbing and every muscle ach-
ing from fatigue? If SO, you often say
to yourself: s'I am dead tired, and
haven't the ambition to dress or even
comb my hair for the evening"" Then
you lounge about and go to bed about
9 O'Clock with your head still aching
and your limbs just as tired as when
you first came in. The next time you
feel that way just slip off the waist of
your gown, brush your hair up on the
top of your head and battle the back
of your neck with hot water. When
the pain is a little relieved wash your
face with the same reviver, and by
the time that is done you will feel like
brushing your hair and fixing up a
bit. or we are very much mistaken.

cious taken externally as internally.
