A Baked Bonnet.

During a recent rainstorm o society
woman was caught in a sudden down.
pour and was compelled to run home in
very undignified haste. Her dignity,
however, wasn't damaged as much as
her bonnet. The latter had been a
dream of beauty when she started out.
1t was perfect nightmare when she
reached home again. She thought that
a little heating would bring it about all
right. The kitchen fire had gone out,
but she put the bonnet in the oven and
prepared to huild the fire. just as she
had got all the materials together the
doorbell rang. 1t was caller. The Wis
itor was great gossip, and she had a
brand new bit of scandal to tell. The
two women became very much absorbed
III their chat During the course of it the
servant girl, who had been out for the
afternoon, returned and passed back into
the kitchen. About an hour later the
two gossips in the parlor began to notice
a queer odor coming from the kitchen.
The truth of tho situation suddenly
flashed upon the hostess, who immedi.
ately rushed out into the kitchen. There
she found to her horror that the girl had
built the kitchen fire and her lovely
bonnet lay in the oven roasted to q crisp.

Stung by Cactus Plants.

Several men employed about Horti.
cultural Hall, in Paramount Park, are
nursing very sore hands, and one of
them is just sure that he is out of dan
ger from blood poisoning from stings
received in handling prickly cactus
plants. All summer the tall, slender
cacti have stood with soldierly erect
ness in bed at the east end of the hall.
When frost threatened the head gar
dener gave orders for their removal in.
to winter quarters, and the men having
the job went about it without the usual
precaution of wearing buckskin gloves.
They were stung in many places by
the needles that bristled from the
stalks, but as the pain at the time was
not great, they kept at work until all
the cacti had been housed. A few hours
later their hands began to puff up, and
soon swelled to ungalnly proportions
as the poison of the stings took effect
They suffered intensely for several
days, and even now, after week has
elapsed, have to use their hands in a
very glngerly manner indeed.-Phila

Five hundred pounds in one lump"
answered the other.
"oh," said Grant in disappointed
tone.

young Monckton. Five hundred
pounds are not to be scoffed att

a fortune, you know"
1T isn't, but it might be turned into
a tidy sum of money. Now let me tell
you what have done, Grant. l know

my death. If l live l will eventually

will get back the money you have lent
me with handsome interest; but IL l
am cut off in one of my sprees, which
is more than likely, then you will get
back all your money with interest at
several thousand per cent"
AS the young man said this he drew
from an inner pocket what Grant saw
was evidently an insurance policy.
There you are, my boy, with the first
years premium paid" said Monckton,
as he threw the policy on the table.
I'm leave 1t with you, because you are
a steady, sober fellow. If | can't pay

BLACK AND nLuE.

Black and blue colors are not subject to
fashions this season nor in any season.
They hold their own and will not wash out.
They are pretty solid eolors, and but for the
misery Of wearing them, might become
fashionable. Some men take pride in wear
ing them as tokens Of their profession, as
soldiers do their scars. But bruises black
or blue, or both, ought TO have immediate
attention, for under them may be a nerve
hurt OF a muscle badly wrenchsd. black
and blue bruise is a bad thing, not only
from It's tender soreness but the confused
blood is prevention of regular circulation.
While sore spots like these will not wash
out, there is something that will rub them
out in no time, ami that is st. Jacobs Oil.
Il is peculiarly adapted to their quick cure.
A pennant can be won only by hard knocks,
with scars and bruises. but after the ball is
over, II any remain, this one cure Il the
best. Bruises come from confusion in all
ayocations, and it is we'll TO remember at ali
times just what will cure them the best.

"The poetry of earth is never dead,
wrote Keats, and though the statement
sounds at first thought a dangerously
sweeping one there is no doubt that if
he had been called upon to argue the
point he would have successfully main
tanned his thesis Regarded subjective
ly, the poetry of earth, or, in other
words, the quality which makes for
poetry in external nature, is that power
in nature which moves us by sugges-
ton, which excites in us emotion, i'm
agination or poignant association, which
plays upon the tense strings of our SYM
pathies with the fingers of memory or
desire. This power may reside not less
in q bleak pasture lot than in para
disal close of bloom and verdure, not
less in roadside thistle patch than in
peak that scars into the sunset. 1t
works through sheer beauty or sheer
sublimity, but it may work with equal
effect through austerity or reticence or
limitation or change. 1t may use the
most common scenes, the most familiar
facts and forms, as the vehicle of its
most penetrating and most illuminating
message 1t is apt to make the drop of
dew on grass blade as significant as
the starred sphere of the sky.
Merely descriptive poetry is not very
far removed from the work of the re-
porter and the photographer. Lacking
the selective quality of creative art, it
is in reality little more than a represen-
tation of some of the raw materials of
poetry. 1t leaves the reader unmoved, be-
cause little emotion has gone to its
making. Charles g. D. Roberts in
| Forum.

see, my friend, you are quite safe as
far as your money is concerned, wheth-
err l become a staid, respectable and
rich man of business, or whether | am
cut off in the flower of my youth"
Grant lay back il his chair with his
eyes partially closed as he picked up
and examined the document. He saw
it was all right and perfectly legal. At
last he said, in low tone and with de-
liberatlon: Il think you might have
spent your money much more profit
ably, Monckton, than in paying a years
premium on your life. Bless me! you
will live till you are 90"
II hope so,' said the young man,
but meanwhile you take care of that
document, and If the time ever comes
that there is money collectable on it
you are the man who is to have it, AS
you see, have made the policy solely
to you"
Thanks, old man." said Grant, as he
placed the policy on the table.
! Well said Monckton, 81 must be
off. Won't you come out and take a
drink"
81 think not" said Grant; I'm busy
tonight, but If you wish drink, have
a glass of wine with me-"
Il don't mind if l d." said young
Monckton.
Grant pushed towards his the glass
of wine in which he had sprinkled the
morphine, then he poured out wine for
himself in another glass. Here's to

Young Monckton drank off the wine
and smacked his lips after. THAT has
a curious taste, Grant," he said; what
is it?'
"Oh, 1t is a special brand | drink

find it very soothing"
"Well, good night, Stillman, old fel

Good night to you, Monckton, and

"Oh, I'm not going to dreams yet
awhile" said Monckton. "a few of Il:

Club"
"Ah,' said Grant, that's long dis

Fog and Gas,

Prof. Lewes of London states that
London fog deprives coal gas of Ill
per cent of its Illuminating power, and
an incandescent burner loses POS per
cent of its efficacy. The reason given
is that the spectrum Of these lights ap-
proaches very nearly that Of the solar
spectrum, being rich in violet and ul-
ira violet rays. These are the rays
which cannot penetrate a London fog.
This is thought to be the reason why
the sun looks red on foggy day. The
solid particles floating in the aqueous
vapor of the atmosphere absorb the
violet rays and only the red rays of the
spectrum pass through. 1t is further
stated that the old argand burner more
successfully resists London fog than
any of It's later rivals.
