Pretty and PuxzIfnr

Whilst on a visit to a friends house
a short time ago my attention was at
tracted to a very pretty ornament,
which my friend said he had made
himself. 1t simply consists of taking
a glass OF goblet and placing in the in
terror a little common salt and water.
In a day or two a slight mist will be
seen upon the glass, which will grad
ually increase, until in a very short
time the glass will present q very
beautiful appearance. being enlarged
twice its thickness and covered with
beautiful salt crystals, packed n
upon another. a dish should be plac-
ed beneath the glass, as the crystals
will run owe The color of the crys-
tails may be changed by adding to the
salt and water a little red ink or a
spoonful of blueing.-New Orleans

Restaurant Cranks.

Plenty of cranks haunt the table
d'hotes. One who is conspicuous in
the Tenderloin centers owns a white
rabbit that he always carries with
him, and for which he orders a large
portion of lettuce while he solemnly
consumes his W meal. Bunny Is at

a large silver chain and roams in and

from hors d'oeuvres to coffee, one
after the other. At another restaurant
not far away a forlorn-looking, middle
aged woman also orders two dinners,
but one of them is served on the OPP
posite side of the table and the
courses are carried away untouched
when she has finished her own. Posi-
bly, a romance is concealed in the I'M
touched courses. She alone can tell

All a Mista Ike.

The reporter that had accompanied
the special train to the scene of the
wreck hurried down the embankment
and found a man who had one arm in
a sling, a bandage over one eye, his
front teeth zone and his nose knocked
four points starboard, sitting on a
piece of the locomotive and surveying
the horrible ruin all about him.
"Can you give me some particulars
of this accident?" he asked, taking out
his notebook.
81 haven't heard of any accident,
young man." replied the disfigured
party, stiffly.
He was one of the directors of the

Effect of Excitement ON Neckties.

Custom makes it a law that neckties
must be worn. Have you ever noticed
that this article of wear, apparently
so trivial in Importance, is the first
to get up antics when the owner gets
excited? There were some stirring mo-
meDts, and things went wrong con-
stantly at a recent political convention
in Philadelphia. Some of the leaders
had lots Of work ON their hands.
While they were shouting and arguing
and grew more heated with each mo-
ment. a Call reporter noticed their
neckties slowly rose up, ending by
gracing the tops of their collars. 9th
ers became united.
The crayats were a sort of uncon-
scious thermometer. registering the
mental warmth. Perhaps there is an
undiscovered natural law governing
this popularity.

Martyrs to hay fever will learn with
interest the experience of Dr.. Fuber
of Hamburg who suffered a great deal
from hay fever during several sum-
mers. He noticed that in winter a
coryza was accompanied with hot ears,
which regained their normal tempera-
ture when the discharge from the nose
was established. He tried a e
order of things on the hay fever and
rubbed his ears until they became red
hot. He can now lead an endurable
existence. AS Don as there is the
least amount Of fullness in the nose,
the ears are noticeably pale. A thor
ough rubbing of the ears has always
succeeded in freeing the nasal mu-
Gus membrane from congestion. The
rubbing must be thorough and re-
peated.

paved
With the things which we meant to
achieve;
It is walled with the money we meant to

grieve:
The kind words unspoken, the promises
broken,
And many a coveted boon,
Are slowed away there in that land

The land of Pretty SoOn.'
There are uncut jewels of possible
fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mould and rust.
And oh. this place, while it seems so
near,
Is further away than the moon;
Tho our purpose is. fair, yet we never
get there

land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks;
