 Anybody who has tho means may buy gifts, of course, but it is the present wrought with infinite skill and patience and pninstaking that represents most to people of sentiment. Articles for the toilet tablo arc always acceptable, and bric-a- brae never goes amiss Gloves, hosiery, laces and the like. may be given; also handkcrchiefs galore, for one rarely has too many of them.
 Ono of tho prcttiest possible gifts is n Lalf dozen handkerchiefs embroidered by the donor with the name or initial of tho person for whom they are intended. This present is suitable for either man or wom an, and thorc will be spare minutes enough between now and Christmas in which to do tho embroidery. Cotton is usually chosen in preference to linen thread for this purpose.

The GIFT SEASON.
Artistic Possibilities of White Linen and
 Grape Papers.

Grape Papers.
 It is not too early in tho season to think of holiday gifts, and prudent and farseeing danes and demoiselles are already laying plans for all the beautiful things they in tend having ready by Christmastide With little care and forcthought one may gather together the daintiest mate rials have all sorts of embroidery stamped, the working materials matched and ready, and at intervals, by utilizing odd mo ments of leisure, the pretty things will be finished almost before one is aware of it.
 Among the most desirable presents for a lady who has house of her own is table linen of all sorts especially the embroid- cred and decorated squares and doilies. Heavy linen or satin sheeting is one of the best fabrics for working either in silk or linen. It washes exquisitely and always has rich and fine look, very much moro so than any material containing cotton.

What is Eczema ?
It is an agony of agonies. A torture of tortures.


 A torture Of tortures.
 It is an itching and burning of the skin almost beyond endurance.
 It is thousands of pin-headed ves- icleS filled with an acrid fluid, ever forming, ever bursting, ever flowing upon the raw excoriated skin.
 No part of the human skin is exempt.
 It tortures, disfgu.es and humil- iates more than all other skin diseases combined.
 Tender babies are among its most numerous victims.
 They are often born with it.
 Sleep and rest are out of the question.
 Most remedies and the best phy- sicians generally fail, even to relieve. If CUTICURA did no more than cure Eczema, it would be entitled to the gratitude of mankind.
 It not only cures but
 A single application is often suffi- cient to afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep, and point to speedy cure. CUTICURA works wonders because it is the most wonderful skin cure of modern times.

6est and Effective Way Of Disposing of
 an Undesirable Cat.
 # Early last summer, as a family liv- #ing in one of Boston's suburbs was About to go into the country for sev- geral months, the question came up as fo the disposition of the cat After due deliberation they concluded that, 'sas he was not very valuable, it would not pay to bother to find a boarding place for him, and that batter familias night give him dose of chloroform. What followed. let the father tell in his own words.
 ''I took the cat, says he, and after #putting him carefully in a box, gave zhin generous quantity of the anaes- thetic He quietly strengthened out but, fearing that the spark of life was ¬ fully extinguished, took him to a block and used considerable violence Snpcn him. At first 1 did not know just what to do with the remains of ; the animal, but finally concluded to $mrap them up in neat-looking bun ale and take them to town and throw them into one of the yellow carts with the street sweepings l did not care to take the bundle into the car with me, so loft it on the front platform, and thought no more about it until the ear arrived at Bromfield street, where got eff. There I happened to remem- Der 1t, and went to the front platform, whan-you may judge of my surprise And relief-l found that someone had stolen nay bundle

People Who Cant Endure the Happiness

 We all know the type, the kind of person who can not look on the happi- ness or satisfaction of another without envy. They are very uncomfortable people to associate with, and yet one meets them everywhere.
 If you have bought new gown this person says yes. 1t issvery pretty, but think blue is going to be very com mon," and then your faith in the gown is gone, and you wish you had gotten green. If you put on 8 new bonnet she tells you that you ought not to wear pink flowers, they are So trying. If you trim your gown with lace, she tells you that now there are so many imita- ton laces on the market she does not care to wear theIn.
 If you have been to concert, an ex- hibition or a play, straightaway she finds some flaw in the affair. If you get a new music teacher for your little daughter, unless it is a person she has recommended. she feels sorry, but did you know that Miss Blanks method is considered very poor?" If you have been introduced to some one she does not know, she can tell yeu all about this some one's family, and tell you nothing good, either.
 If you build new home, lit is too bad it faces west." or, ''too bad that stable is around the corner.'' And Sc on, until you dread meeting her It seems as if nothing is free from dis paragement which comes under her notice, and no matter how you have tried or how you have planned to make your own affairs satisfactory to your self, your family and your finances, along comes the thief who robs you ot the comfortable feeling that 'all is well, 1" makes you see flaws where none exist, creates fear where there is nc causs for it, and leaves a drop of bitter doubt in every cup.

Mohair Dresses.

Very useful dresses for morning wear in spring and for travelling and the seashore in summer are of dark mohair blue, brown or gray, of the coarse weave so much used a few years ago. This is lightweight fabric with smooth lustrous surface that sheds dust and water. In navy blue 1t will rival the serges and sackings that are used for steamer, boating and other outing dresses. Paris tailors make these gowns more elaborately than those brought from London, having long English overskirt caught up on the left side and trimmed above a hem with row of black satin ribbon an inch wide overlaid with vine of ecru lace. The silk petticoat disclosed by the draping is four yards and half wide, with a knife-plaited ruffie six inches deep around it, bordered with the black ribbon and lace vine. long coat of the mohair reaches to the knee and is fitted in the back with loose aul open fronts The side forms exs E&6.1.3 ? 3z, x,,infad hasoues edQeG with

 A lamp wick has been invented which IS made entirely of clay, and claimed 1o give S5 per cent more light than the cotton wick.

The object is 10 provide an indestructible wick. which shall possess all the advanta- geeus qualities of an ordinary cotton of noer wick, and which shall, in ad- a'aen, last an indefinite time without renewal or necessity of trimming or care When the clay is baked the vege- }Nple hber is burned out, leaving capil- ty tubes running longitudinaIly sIxongh the wick, through which the Sla from the lamp will be raised to the asme by capillary attraction.
