Absence of Mind.

Some people find it hard, in using tn.
telephone, to realize that they are not face
to face with the person they are addressing.
A prominent merchant in the capital
city Of state sat at his desk one hot day
in July. In order to secure some degree OF
comfort he had taken off his coat and his
collar and necktie.
A clerk came into the room.
"His eXcellency the governor wishes to
speak with you through the telephone"
said the clerk.
"The governorl Dear me!' said the mer
chant.
He rose, hastily put on his collar, his
necktie and his coat, gave his hair stroke,
and went to the telephone to answer the
governors call.-Youth's Companion.

The mingling of the Offices of religion

sizes the Sixteenth centuryFeeling which
in Mexico is so pointedly suggested by the
strong houses and the barred doors. 1t is
n feeling that gives to the country potent
and peculiar charm, under the spell Of
which come gladly those who seek refuge
there from the later civilization that is
glared upon by electricity and that is
driven by steam. And the charm works
most powerfully upon the fortunate few
who dwell in this region of rest long enough
really to understand the whole of its excel

PRETTY TEA COzlES.

Cup That Cheers.

Cup That Cheers.
Every housekeopor wants at least one
,ozy, and if she be lady of leisure and
artistic tastes with means to crafty her
inclinatioas she will have one to match
each tea service. According to Modern
Priscilla, for her gold and whito china
she will fashion cozy Of creamy silk
embroidered with japanese gold thread,
and if the china have any especial dec
grafton sho will copy the same design
on the cozy. For dainty set Of Sevres
or Limoges she will make a cozy of ex-
quisito brocade, here also as far as posi-
Bile matching the design. For the simple
blue and white ware Of American or
Chinese manufacture there will be one
in blue ard white china silk or Grape
and for tho japanese set one Of japanese
silk, with bands Of velvet Of harmo-
niaing color across the bottom.
As for the form Of the cozy, the sim
plest is the most popular and might be
briefly described as being exactly like
the larger half Of M egg in shape. Comic
al co2ies composed Of from four to eight
sections arc more troublesome to make,
and, except in tho case Of teapot Of I'M.
usual size and shape, not so pretty.
Creamy white satin sheeting worked
with Dresden pattern Of small flowers,
edged with band of gold colored vel.
vet and finished with a gold cord makes
about as splendid cozy as can be de.
sired. Old blue india silk, painted with
acloudy gold band Of gold about the bot.

A Word of Caution.

Tho New York Tribune says: Now
that black moires have become fashion
able it is we'll to recall the fact that
these goods are not equal to satin or
faillo francais in durability. The process
Of watering them, which necessitates
tho use Of heat, tends to weaken the silk
unless the fabric is Of pure, unques-
iioned quality. A good quality Of moiro
will probably wear almost as we'll as
attn, but inferior qualities Of watered
silks are to be Stunned, whether in
noiro antique or the softer moire fran
Gals. In spite Of the present popularity
Of black, it will find powerful rival in
the new carmelite browns, which are q
dull, neutral color, more becoming to
the complexion than black and equally
suitable as foil for brighter colors
