ShOpDing Philosophy.

There were two young women in sill
versmith's on Broadway bearing in their
hands the lists of the happy beings who
were to be remembered with gifts and
on their faces the anxiety Of Christmas
shoppers.
Say, Nell'' said one as they forced
their way to the place where penholders
were displayed, ''why don't you give
your father a penholder?
"Well," said Nell thoughtfully, cas- he
dictates even his letters to mamma to
his typewriter, don't know what use he
could make of one. But you might get
one for Walter"
walter has one. Why don't you get
a silver framed calendar"
'sToo expensive. l believe I'll get
Louise set of studs Enameled ones
are pretty, aren't they?'
in Paris last spring"
ooh, sure enough. Well-say, Nell, 1
want new hatpin for myself. Come on
and let's set it.
They did so, and then Nell remember
ed that she needed some lacepins and
bought them. After these purchases the
young shoppers said they felt too tired to
buy any more that day and drifted down
the street, planning to buy father and
Walter and Louise gifts in the future.
''That," said a woman who was cor
scientiously struggling with her list,
'sthat is true philosophy. wish l had
strength enough of mind to do the Sane
thing New York World.

LADIES' COLUMN.
THE HOUSEKEEPER'S ANNEX.

You have, perhaps, visited a house
whose mistress looks with contempt
upon all animals. Her house has no
annex for pets; cats flee at the sound
of her voice, dogs stink away at sight
of her face, Jerry, the horse, never
following her about the yard with 1uli
consciousness that his attentions Will
be rewarded by a lump of sugar or
some other choice bit. Even the chick
ems duck their peaked heads, expect
ing her hand to light upon them, like
a hawk, and carry them off for dinner,
taking their corn gingerly, and Hut
tering at touch of her apron or sklrt.
But in many homes we find coy
annex for the creatures which eX-
press themselves eloquently = they
need not the power of speech.
Who, unless she occupy Hat In
city block, keeps house without one
furry pet? That domestic picture
which shows no purring puss, is in
complete. Who would be child again
unless for the privilege of cuddling
down with the kitten? For number
of years the cat family in Massachu-
sets and Connecticut has been at
fiicted with a disease which shows it
self about the head, some Of the I'M
est animals have been mercifully chic
reformed by their owners. 1t is sup
posed that the trouble is caused by
the poisonous scratches of their enc
mics, for Thomas is nothing if not
warrior. I have found cure for this
mango, and I am sure other women
who delight in an annex will be glad
to doctor their afflicted ''beautles.
Take teaspoonful of lard, rub into 1t
only so much sulphur as will make
thin ointment. With a soft cloth or
piece of tissue paper rub gently on
the afflicted head. If Thomas appre-
ciates the annex he will look and act
his gratitude; but protect yourself
well while performing the operation,
because he will signify his approba-
ton by a few shakes of the head. APP
Div the ointment little before bed
time, when puss can be put out for
the night. Stir a little sulphur in the
milk given the invalid, at least once
during the day. Three applications,
with day or two between times, will
probably answer unless the case is a
serious one.
A fine cat is said to be sure indi-
L, hI1f
however that may BEL is worth while
to have a cat, and that a good one.
Are you friend to cats? Some of the
grandest natures l have ever met,
have been, and I am not ashamed to
confess myself Friend to Felas.

If you have dress that you want
cleaned and do not want to put it into
water, give it a naptha bath. Do it
out of doors or in an open room where
the vapor can not get to fire. Use
the naptha as literally AS if it were
water, washing in one tub, rinsing in
another, and still another if needed.
The first supply can serve for other
dirty articles, the rinsing, for those
less soiled. If naptha has been used
with free hand the garments will
look like new. Hang in the air until
the odor has vanished. Too much
caution can not be shown in using
naptha. Do this washing where there
is a fire, or let match be lighted, and
you and your house will go up in
smoke.

Sunday school teacher had done-she had
Just been promoted from the infant room
to the Sunday school proper-before she
was 10 years old. OF course her mamma
was not only willing but anxious to en-
courage SO pious a purpose, and she got
the sort of u Bible little Sue wanted.
Each day for an hour or more she read
with careful attention in her new Bible.
When she came to that chapter which
relates how God called Adam and Eve
to account for their disobedience, Sue
went to her mother, and bringing her
soft covered Bible together with q bang

morning that he would do some shopping
for his wife. On arriving at his studio
he found that he had money enough in

What to do about the shopping? Sud

for an illustration that he had received
from a magazine. He set to work, and
in less than two hours had finished thu

Ths rose has faded from the western shy
Behind the lazy mill,
The SHOWS wind carven drifts in beauty he
Where all is gray and STILL
While nights drear shadows creep
Across the land and dull the weird repose
or ashen wood and steep.
Above the fields q great enameled star
Is sparkling cold and white;
The deep dark curtains OF the east afar
Shine with q sudden light.
And In q moment, with a silver food
The full moon rises chill
Behind the tangle of the somber wood
That crowns the distant hill.
