cARRYING HE PURSE.
A Problem Which Is Seriously Troubitni
 tho Far Sex.

Problem Which Is Seriously TroubltnR
 tho Far Sex.
 "IIow and where shall l carry my money" is m important question to woman who has had her pockets picked twice within q week. Once her purse was in the chatelaine bag, sus- pended from her belt, and which she found yawning and empty upon reach ing home. And the clasp to that bag was one l often had to work over to desperation myself" she remarked plaintively. Ut bothered me dread fully when l was in q hurry, but that very fact gave me sense of security" The second time her pocket-one of those un-gct-at-ablc pockets, too, in the rear region, where its unhappy posscssor is forced to sit upon its con- tents = was ignominiously turned wrong side out. She tried carrying her purse in her hand, and an elderly man, with benevolent face, stopped her and said: Pardon me. madam, but I feel constrained to tell you that have just seen lady's purse snatched out of her hand and the thief escape with it."
 Tho next time she sallied forth her money was pinned securely inside her dress waist. When she had selected certain purchases she told the clerk she would return soon and pay for them, and proceeded to the ladies' dressing room, where there were eight other women engaged in extricating money from similar places of security and one deftly removing garter and turning down her shapely hosiery. These methods are pretty safe, but decidedly inconYenicnt, especially when one has purchases to make at different places. Some women have adopted the separ- ate pocket tied around the waist, un-- der the dress skirt. but this, of course, nccessitates raising the skirt to reach the pocket, and not infrequently, by some method best known to them selves, thieves manage to rife them or remove them altogether. It really seems as if till some as yet untried method of carrying it is devised women must depend more upon good fortune than any better security for the con- tinped possession of the little article whose purloiner is said to steal trash, but which is nevertheless trash of kind which comments itself strongly and almost universally to poor human nature Press.

 Jo lay awake nearly all night trying to think what could have brought this avalanche of bread upon him, and finally concluded it must have been that little speech of his about the girls not knowing how to make biscuits. But his mind kept returning to Ruth's valentine, and by and by he decided that man didn't need but one valen- tine, especially if he had plenty of bread. So, toward morning he dropped asleep to dream of being shut up in a tower and not allowed anything but biscuits to eat or sleep on, and the only thing he could sec for miles were fields of biscuits in all shades of brown, which he was told he must eat as fast as they ripened. Then he saw Ruth, with her hair flying wildly about her face, and, when he looked closely, he found that what he thought hair was only hundreds of valentines, and when he tried to take them off her head she suddenly turned into a plump biscuit, and the astonishment awoke him, to find that the sun shone, and also that his head ached
 "I wish you'd go over to the mills this morning and see about that grain," said Martha, when he came down com plaining of such a dismal headache. "The air'll do you good, and you can take Ruth along. You go right by there"
 Ruth's eyes were red when she came to the door, for she had secretly shed tears that she had not tried to learn bread making, so as to have had her dozen with the rest which she knew must be reposing op the pantry shelves in the Jennings house. She had told herself hundred times she didn't care, but it didn't alter the feeling in the least, and sine knew every time she repeated it that deep in her heart she did care

Pronunciation.

Good old Deacon Thayer, who wns school trustee in the town of Mendon, Mass, once said, when addressing the village school: "A correct pronuncia- tion is of the utmost importance in this world and the world to come
 But how many people have it? We heard three words mispronounced the other day by persons of far more than ordinary culture, and the errors are all common ones. Before desuetudc' was dragged from it's own dcsuetude by the president, few persons pro- nounced it correctly. Very many per sons habitually rhymo 'squalor' with holler, and hardly anybody pronounces 'paresis' corre ectly." ."-Boston Gazettc.

The bas- ket requires piece of China silk or French satin, twenty-four inches square, lined with Q contrasting shade of plain silk. The four sides arc shirred on tape, drawing each up to half it's length. A heading of an inch forms finishing ruflle. Each corner of tho pocket is tackled to the support with fancy brass Jacks.

no Wanted to Find Out.

A little boy whose experience with elevators had been very limited one was brought to the city few days ago by his mamma, and in the course of two or three hours shopping the little fellow was taken up and down in diff ferent stores good many times.
 Finally the two went to an office building, took chairs in rather small room and waited.
 "Where arc we now, mamma?" asked the boy.
 "In Uncle Rob's office"
 He glanced around the rather con- tracted quarters, and then asked:

 House planning, like everything else on this globe of earth, develops in cycles. Fashions come and go. What was in vogue in one century goes out in the next, and a hundred years or so later it comes back again. Centuries ago in castles all over Europe the hall was the one chamber in which most of the domestic life of the time was lived. The. hearthstone of hospitality was found there.

 Ruth turned with laughing eyes: "Then needn't apologizc?"
 No. indeed. I like valentines bet ter than biscuits, but I guess it needed just that to show me that did"
 Sixteen dozen! What arc you going to do with them all?"
 Take you home with me to help eat them. You haven't answered my ques- tion yet"
 ''I'm too young," but bright blush was on the face turned again to the hills.
 Jo laughed, liking her shy ways, yet sure that he had seen favor in her eyes. He wished ho could surprise her into turning this way again. "Yes, think I nm too young. Why, I'm only thirty; but we can both be growing older as fast as we can, and by next June we shall be old enough"
 He insisted that her aid was neces- sary in consuming those biscuits, so they stopped to tell Mrs. Hazen. What she could have seen in his face cannot tell, but she went into the house with the remark that it wouldn't be the last meal Ruth would eat in the Jennings house."
 He lifted her from the carriage with a mute caress, and, leaving the black

pony to walk leisurely into the open door of the barn, he led Ruth into the sunny sitting-room where his mother sat in her cushioned easy-chair, and said: Il have brought home valen- tine, mother. One am going to keep" and while she drew the blushing face down to hers with her thin, white hands and kissed it, Jo went out hur- riedly to look after the pony and whis- per in her ear that he was so happy. Meeting Martha on the way he stopped to tell her that Ruth would stay to dinner, but his face must have been a very telltale one, for he might just as well have said that she was to stay for ever, and Martha shook hands with 8 hearty 'l'm so glad, Jo."-Mrs. N.

How to Make Erg Outlets.

A good way to make egg cutlets is to boil three or four eggs for ten minutes, dip them in cold water for minute or two and strip off the shell: cut of the ends of each egg and divide into four slices, dipeach piece in the well-beaten yolk of an egg, then in bread crumbs rather highly seasoned with pepper, salt and teaspoonful of very finely minced parsley; fry in boiling butter until brown, serve with potatoes sliced thin and fried to light brown; gar nish with parsley.

Novelties In CandlesticIss.

Fantastic candlesticks are to be seen in china shops of late, in flower de. signs. There are tulips, crocuses and roses, all made so that the flower, wide open, will hold the candle inserted. They are very realistic, but not partic ularly seemly. One does not fancy the thought of light thrust into the heart of flower.

Secretary HOke Smith.

Secretary Hoke Smith in his speech
at Atlata, ON silver says:

reviewed the financial troubles of the

tho South as well ~ Georgia upon the
excellent showing made. The attention
OF the commercial world had been at.

period of developments and marked
prosperity such as never before were
experienced.
Calling attention to the recent ex-
pei'cnce OF the great state o. Kansas
and Colorado under Populist -ule, the
secretary asked who would he willing TO
see Georgia follow the Leadership OF n
Llewilling or a Waite. Bad as was the
record OF the third party in the West

Congress were enough to stag,,er com.

The injury inflicted by single stand. |
ard currency had been recently demon !

been felt upon products of this country

Currency in the United States had not
been contracted, but on the contrary,
the per capita today was $2I.l6, as
against an average of $l4s5 from 1850 to
1860
The secretary then described the eight
different kinds Of money now used in
this country, and maintained that the
instant any one Of these went to
premium it would become II commodity
for private sale and contraction would
follow, but by preserving them upon an
equal to the giowth of business and

vented.
