THE SNOWMAN.
The Only Genuine Mermaid Was
BOthering Him Greatly.

''This here show business" said the
dime museum man, "ain't what it is
cracked up to be by long shot. A man S
allus runnin' agin things that do him
up"
whats troubling you?" inquired the
advance agent.
"Why. that durn mermaid of mine Is
gettin' me into debt over my head. Now
YOU know I've got the only genuine mer-
maid on exhibition. She's a maid of the
sea. she is: a living example of the sto-
ried nymphs Of the wave of old, as my
programmer says. / pay her a big sal
airy and she puts all my other attrac-
lions I'm the shade. It would put your
eve out to see the way people look at
her. I tell you she's the greatest freak
in the business, an the best of it is she
is genooine.
But to come down to cases. as I wuz
saying. she keeps me in hot water all the
time
There l1ain't day that l don't have
dast refuse, for I can't git along without
her in these dull times. Some times,
though. she makes me crazy by her I'M
reasonable requests. What do you sup
pose she wants now?'
Couldn't imagine" replied the advance
agent unless it's fresh sea water every
day, or something like that"

Woman's NobIest Career.

An American lady interviewer asked
me the other day what 1 thought the
noblest career for woman. / said
thought it was marriage. She seemed
astonished. That is. in fact, my DELHI
crate opinion. More, | believe that if
the question were put to any woman
who has lived the matron's life and has
sons and daughters grown up whether,
looking back, she would still deliberately
choose to be the mother of these sons
and daughters or would become a Jour
nalist, novelist, teacher, nurse. artist
typewriter, clerk. cashier or any of the
many occupations open to women she
would without the least hesitation de-
clare that she would prefer the matron's
life as the noblest and highest lot open
to women.
To enrich the world with noble child
rem. to give the country more brave
hands and honest hearts-what, in COM
parison with this. is the independence of
the single woman or her work? Do not
talk about the isolated cases of genius
Talk about the average work. That all
women cannot marry Is perfectly true:
that women are making 1t every day
more difficult to marry by taking mems
work is also true.

The white Apron.

There Is something symbolic Of neat
ness. purity and womanlIness I'm n white
apron, and paradoxical as II may seem
II is also the most coquettish article of
attire which "a woman can wear. The
woman OF fashion who has an eye for
artistic effect dons a ridiculous little bit
OF RULED swiss or chiffon and lies e
about her waist with satin ribbon. II
Is the piece de resistance OF her toilet
The men for whom she pours tea may
whisper compliments about her eyes her
hair, her little hands, but they regard
her apron with masculine awe and rever-
ence.
The white apron Is a relic on sweet
old fashioned days. when woman's sphere
was home and the babies at her knee
represented her mission. She didn't 20
Summing nor teaching Cinnamon, nor
salvationize, but made the earth more
beautiful simply because she existed.
The lace rufile Is very full. and the
"blb" Is formed entirely OF points. The
material used Is fine lawn.-N. Y. Herald.

To Clean Turbid water.

DIR. Lehman recommends to house
wives simple means of precipitating
turbid water by the use of solution
of alum One hundred and thirty grains
of crystallized alum dissolved in one pint
of water will produce a large quantity
of the purifying liquid. 1t is only used
in the proportion of one to two grains
of alum TO a gallon of water. That
would require three teaspoonfuls of the
solution 10 every two gallons OF water
After stirring It In let the water stand
a few hours and II will be perfectly
clear and ready to be poured off from
the thick deposit I'm the bottom. III it
is then filtered II will be in good condi-
ton for drinking.
Even without filtering 1t will be safe
20 drink the water II Il has not stood
very long as Il has been found that the
addition of the alum greatly reduces the
number Of bacteria. The taste Is not
affected. as the alum decomposes in the
water and sets free compounds that at
tach themselves TO the muddy elements
in the water and cause them 10 settle
This remedy Is not for contaminated
water, which should always be boiled

The Guest Chamber.

A pretty little trifie for the guest
chamber seen at the woman's exchanges
carries with it a hint that should not be
overlooked
1t is a card about the size of a page
Of note paper. usually rough surfaced
and ragged edged. with a border or
headpiece of delicately painted flowers
or leaves, and following a suitable IL
Illuminated quotation is written in grace
full text down the card the three words
Breakfast" Luncheon" and Din
ner." Space is left after each to fill in
the time Of serving each meal, and the
lettering or careless guest is thus pref
ttly reminded that system must prevail
even when yelled and adorned with hos
pitality. A further bit of useful infor-
nation is conveyed from the bottom of
the card. where the mail hours are duly
recorded.
1t is really the exceptional guest cham
Der that considers any but the toilet
necessities of its occupants. To find one
with books, bed candle and writing ma
terials is a boon. and when, as was the
case recently in a suburban residence. to
these comforts were added a suitably
stocked workbasket for the taking of
the stitch i'm time" and a time table
conSpicuously posted of the train ser
vice to and from town. the complement
seemed so complete that the hostess was
specially congratulated upon her fore
thought.
Apparent awlxwardness and Thought
lessness in guests often arise from ignor-
ance Of the family ways and customs.
No one more warmly welcomes even
crumbs Of knowledge in this regard than
he who is being entertained.-New York
Times.

Children and speech.

Parents amuse themselves with the
phonetic disabilities OF their offspring
and often take no pains 10 seek for a
remedy in cases where children come
10 years far beyond babyhood without
mastering the mechanism OF speech
This is probably especially usual when
the parents. one or both, have been
themselves neglected, because imper-
feet enunciatiOn Is then regarded as con-
secrated To the new god heredity and Is
treated with respect not unmingled with
admiration.
II even happens that men and women
who cannot speak their native tongue
with ease believe themselves to be
rather superior 10 those who can.<It is
almost a mark OF caste TO shirk the DIFF
ficulties OF the letter "r." and there Is
charm I'm avoidance Of the struggle
with "th," which Is absent when II IS
only a." solus, that speaker fails to
grapple with.
The matron who addresses her grown
up son and daughter as "Arftir" and
'Enel' and Is responded TO as "Mov-
Yer" Preathes I'm an atmosphere alto
gether apart from the lady who owns
'Erbert" and "'Ilda." and the infantile
pronunciation OF the words seems TO
suggest her own Juvenility, simplicity
and sweetness
A good exercise was that to which.
Mr.. Allix Wilkinson induced the ex-
queen OF Hanover 10 submit herself:
"She came out quite victorious over
the following sentence: II thrust three
and thirty thousand thorny thistles

Wen Dressed for Five Minutes.


II was a queer young woman that
the shcpgirls are talking of in one Of
the Brooklyn shopping stores. She was
neatly but not richly dressed, and she
came with two or three other young
women. She looked over the most ele-
CANT dresses that were on sale and in
sisted upon seeing 1.-The most expensive
evening dress of the lot. She particu-
larry wanted il cut as low In the bodice
as any that are worn. The only gar
ment Of the kind that was in stock was
a gorgeous light purple silk, exquisitely
trimmed with velvet ribbon. II was
somewhat too large, and the saleswo-
man insisted that IL was no use TO try
II on. But the young girl was equally
determined to see how IL looked on her.
At last she was taken to what is
called the evening room, with its doz-
ems of electric lights and it's walls OF
plate mirror glass, and there she put on
the splendid NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. robe,
and called in the saleswoman and the
women who had come with her. The
dress was too loose and too long, but
the girl had a pretty neck and shapely
arms, and evidently admired them
much she did the gown, while she
turned around and around and scrut-
nized her appearance in the mirrors.
Finally she regretted that the dress
could not be altered within a few hours,
though she had been so informed before
she had put it on, and said she was
sorry, but she would have to look else
where. AS she was leaving the store
one of the saleswOmen heard her say:
There, now 1 am satisfied to be mar
ried tomorrow and bury myself in the
country. 1t was my last chance in this
life TO be really dressed up. Now I am
satisfied, though 1 should have liked TO
wear a few diamonds. New York Sun.

women Live Longer Than Men.

The well known fact that women live
longer than men is illustrated as follows
by an English journal: 1.-The excess of
females Of all ages over males of all
ages in England and Wales is only
about 3IR per cent Qn round figures, 49,
100000 minus $4,000 to 100000 plus
50000). But when we begin to compare
women over sixty with men over sixty
the female majority becomes
much greater, and when we
once pass eighty-fve the old men are
nowhere. The female nonogenarians
nearly double the male; there are 854
women over ninty-five to only S54 men,
and 104 gammers to forty-two CATERS
who own to a century.

DAINTY Accessories.
The Femininity Displayed In All Sorts
of Pretty Alterations.

Notwithstanding the hard times, Of
which most persons are complaining. mi
lady's dress throughout is most luxuri-
Gus, In witness whereof one has only to
stockings and shoes. Nothing is too
dainty or too costly for the lady OF the
period. She asserts her sexs privilege
for any kind OF extravaganza and de-
lights I'm any novelty that adds to her
sense Of luxury and refinement.
Those women who have old lace by
then or indeed lace of any kind. black
or white, have an unusual opportunity
for displaying IL TO the best advantage,
for il is introduced i'm every Imaginable
fashion The lace flounces which used TO
be worn are now placed at the edge OF the
skirts, often festooned with ribbon bows.
They also are introduced around the
hips, while triple fiounoes are made to
