A Sleepy Little Girl.

When my sister and l were little
girls we used to do a good many
funny things. One night when we
went upstairs to our little room sister
threw herself on the bed without I'M
dressing and fell asleep Now, this
was little trick of hers that was
very trying to me, for l was obliged,
almost every night, to wake her by
pulling and shaking and calling, and
get her to undress and 20 to bed.
On this particular night, however,
l made up my mind to let her alone,
and If she did not waken by the time
l was reaG, for bed would leave her
there all night, thinking how ashamed
she would be the next morning when
she found she had slept with her
clothes on. When l was all ready
for bed she was still sleeping soundly,
so, with the determination to throw
the blame upon her, l blew out the
lamp. and lying down beside her was
soon fast asleep myself.
"COme, children, time to get up"
called mother the next morning.
why, Nannie," in a tone of great
surprise as she came to the bedside,
"what are you doing with your clothes
on, child?" My sister rubbed her
blue eyes with her chubby little fists,
sitting up In the bed, and looked
around with puzzled frown that was
comical to see. But she could not tell
why she had on her clothes. Bless
you, no! She didn't remember any,
thing about it. She was as much
surprised as mother.
OF course, l had to explain, and
mother laughed-how could she help
it? But If you think my sister was
the least bit ashamed, you are very
much mistaken. She sprang out OF
bed and began to dance around the
room gleefully. "Oh! I'm so glad !
don't have to dress. I'm all already
for breakfast. Goody! Goody! Oh,
mammal" with serious air, may
please sleep in my clothes every
night?"

A Clean Face.

Theatrical people know that oil
cleans the skin better than water.
Generally other people do not. II
actresses undertook to get their
makeup off with water, they would
need soft soap and scrub-brush to
do it, and the skin would inevitably
come with it. They used once cocoa
butter; now they use cocoa Oil, which
is better preparation of the same
thing. Drug stores keep it. Some
keep it fresh, and some keep it ran
cid. Take care not to patronize the
second class, and in cocoa oil you will
have the most delightful OF all emol-
lients for the oil bath. II you want
to see how effective it is, come in
from railway journey on a hot day,
when the windows have been up, and
you have had as much benefit of the
smoke and SCOT as the fireman. Take
the most vigorous bath you can de.
wise or endure, then spread some
cocoa oil on your face, and wipe it
of. The blackened towel will tell
the tale Of failure for the bath and
triumph for the oil.-BOston Gazette.

consists Of four tin cans that are to
protect Joseph from cold draughts.
A gas jet below heats the air in the
outer compartment. The second
compartment contains hot water and
the compartment next to that con-

air for the purpose OF obtaining more

reclines in a little basket of wire net
lined with cotton. In the top Of the

Joseph's sleeping apartment and
openings to supply draught to the

That frightened Rebie a little,
and she jumped up quickly and ran
into the house to grandma. "Oh,
grandma. she said, come out quick
and see this funny bug! He goes this
way" And she waved her little fat
fingers slowly back and forth.
Now grandma was busy and she
didn't care to 60 out to look at bugs;
but the little girl was so earnest and
excited that she went with her.
Rebie led her straight to the chicken
yard fence, and there, stretched out
at full length in the grass, summing
himself, was a snake. A viper, John
said it was when he brought the hoe
and killed it. And when she heard
what it was, and what it might have

Others dwell in villages, but all pro-
fess poverty and humility and some
chastity. Their religion prescribes
modification, but their practices are
very often inconsistent with their
professed standard. Many of them
lead vagrant life, travelling all over
the countries of the East and being
supported by converts of their order.
The Mevlevis are the most numerous.
They indulge in fantastic dances, in
which they whirl around with great
rapidity to the music of flute, gen.

in honor of their founder, who is

cererS.

As Labouchere Sees Us.

In many ways the United States
have educated the world in politics,
says London Truth, and l, for one, dc
not hesitate to say that their scheme
Of government is the best that has
ever been established by a nation.
But in nothing do we owe more to
the Americans than for their having
afforded us the great object lesson Of
a state pursuing the even current Of
its way without meddling in the af-
fairs Of other states, which has been
the bane of European powers. Here
we have country, rich, powerful, in
dustrial, and commercial. yet never
troubling itself with what happens
outside its frontiers; or annexing
foreign lands on the plea of philan-
thropy, or on the ground that in some
centuries its area will be too small
for its population, or in order to ere!
ate markets for its goods. And what
is the result? No one dreams of at
lacking the United States, or of pick
ing quarrel with them.

A Funny Bug.

Rebie was down at the end of the
lot, close beside the gate leading into
the chicken yard. She was watching
The little chickens that were running
about crying "cheep, cheep." and the
old mOther-hens scratching up bugs
and worms for their little folks din
ner. All at once she spied a queer
looking object trailing through the
grass at her feet. 1t had an odd zig
gag motion, and in all the five years
Of her life Rebie had never seen any.

attempts to join them. will surely
meet with failure. There are cases,
but rare ones, where women have
followed certain professions without
thought of ultimate profit. Most
professional women do that from
necessity OF earning livelihood.
Assuming the latter to be the gen.
eral rule, the professional woman's
highest ambition is naturally to sue
coed in her profession, to exalt it
and to ennoble it.
To do this, she must live in 1t,
which, If it is like mine, means she
must live on the stage, live in her
role.
Her whole identity is lost in 1t; she
is to a great extent stranger to her
friends, unless those friends possess
that greatest test OF all friendship,
the ability to do without friends and
still have faith in them and in their
affection.
Even her home life suffers because
of her profession at times, at the
period when rehearsals are called for
nearly every hour of the day. or when
there are nine performances a week,
like the series given of THE Crust of
Society" during the holidays.
Her small leisure then must be
claimed for rest and recuperation.
Does it pay, some will ask, to sac
ritlce everything for a profession?
The woman who has made a sue
cess Of hers will answer unQualifidly,
Yes. There is nothing more ENJOY
able than success. nothing more sat-
isfying. l can conceive of nothing
which gives one such feeling Of ex-
ultation as the consciousness of know
ing that whatever success is achieved
Is due to ones own talents. ones ef-
forts ones will.
Such success is worth working years
to attain. A woman lives in it.
With man it is different. His pro-
fession and he are apart This may
be because for generations men have
enjoyed intellectual privileges granted
to women but recently. When sue
cessive generations of women have
enjoyed professions then, perhaps,
like men, they may be able to separ-
ate themselves from their work and
enjoy social life, hut until such time
this is incompatible with feminine
profess iOnal career.

sountry than is the American one" said q

"The difference is very marked" Un-

few American women seem to know or
care much about the political issues of the
day. 1t is significant fact that in most
women's clubs politics, like religion, is q
tabooed question, and thus great oppor-
