A Shirt JOke-.

Several years ago a certain Cleveland
photographer nEdc a specially of 'spir-
1t" photographs and built up quite a
trade in them. One day a solid looking
citizen entered the gallery.
"Sir," he said to the photographer,
II want my picture taken with my
mothers. She died in the old country a
few days ago"
Every well, sir" said the man of
cameras, ''take a seat.
He posed the stranger and photo
graphed him and told him to call for
the finished article Oh "a certain day.
Of course the simple operation Of
double printing brought out a shadowy
face beside hat Of the stranger, the eff
feet being increased by the dim ghastli-
ness of the faint impression.
Promptly on time the man came back
and was shown the picture.
"Ah,'' he instantly said, that isn't
thy mother
Isn't it, said the photographer as

light at a different angle.

"Strangc," said the artist. "But it
sometimes happens. The spirits have
heir tricks and their little games just
like mortals, and ! suppose some old
Ipirit lady is trying to fool us. You
ion't recognize the likeness at all, eh?''
"'Tisn't that, " said the man.
"What is the trouble then?'
The man hesitated.
"Well you see, Z" he said, "the pic
ure amt no use to me now"
"Why not?'' inquired the photograph

"'Cause l got Il letter from my sister
this morning saying that it was all q
mistake about mother dying. She was
Just lying i'll aswoon, and now she is al
most we'll again" g.
The photographer kept his face
straight by a violent effort.
"That's all right" he said. "Som'

us. You needn't take the picture. Coco

A Voice from Altar.

A private letter from c. J. Butler to IA
Neihart friend dated Seattle, Feb, 10,
has been placed in our hands. Mr..
Butler is at the Hotel Diller, waiting
for the opening of the snow bound pass
to Dawson City which will probably
take place in March. He says it is rain
ing all the time in Seattle now That
washouts on the railroads hinder the
transportation of mails.
He says John Reynolds, formerly of
Neihart has joined a friend from Chica-
go with whom he has rugged up a boat
of their W and will start for Klondike
in March.

How 1t All Happened.

He was in doubt.
On this particular evening he made
up his mind that he would reach the
point where doubt ends or know the
eason why.
Thus it happened that lie got a little
closer to her than usual when he found
that they were sitting side by side on
the sofa.
do you ever think about MARRIAGE
he asked.
NO" she replied.
OF course that was a lie. OF course
he knew that it was q lie and she knew
that he knew Z. Consequently she
wished that she hadn't answered SO
hastily, but that is so customary i'll a
woman that it should attract no atten-
ton.
IF l We're a woman like you" he
said reproachfully, 81 would think of
it."
"Would you"' she inquired careless
ly.
Eyes, I wopld,'' he asserted aggres-
sively.
Perhaps" she suggested tantaliz-
ingly, s'you wouldn't mind telling me
just what course your thoughts would
take-if you were a woman like me-"
Il don't know that I can give the
exact course of reasoning he answer
cd, fearful that he might be getting be-
yond his depth, "but if 1 were a wom-
an like you I feel pretty reasonably sure
that would marry a man like-er-
like me-"
"You do?" she said, coloring a little,
but still speaking i'll the anne tantaliz.
ing tone.
"Yes, I do, he returned doggedly.

she asserted, &c Wouldn't expect a WON

BALL. PROGRAM {

fade In "A Very Great Variety of Styles,
Suited tn All Occasions.
Ball programmes are made in hum
dreds Of styles. A wholesale dealer in
New York prepares n sample book,
which is of the size of an atlas and the
thickness of a dictionary. Fancy cards
for some other uses are shown III this
book also, but Of ball programmes alone
there may be 500 styles. The book is
like a great album. The dealer sends
out 2, 500 such books to printers and
%stationers.
Programmes can be bought at almost
any price, including many at extremely
low prices. Nearly all are more or less
or~namented, many of them with III
bossed work finished with gilt or in col
ors and i'll Il great variety of designs.
There is scarcely any society, perhaps
none, that could not find here an appro-
pirate programme. There is, for in
stance, a ball programme embellished
with a trolley car. A number of pro-
grammes, suitable for yachting club
dances, have a yacht surrounded by va
rious emblems of yachting and of the
sea. There are programmes for musical
societies, with appropriate emblems,
and for railroad men, for bicyclists, for
military organizations, for letter car
riers, for firemen.
The cords and tassels for the pro-
grammes are Il separate article of man
ufacture. They are produced in great
variety of %colors, qualities, sizes and
styles and sold in enormous numbers
and many Of them at prices that seem
marvelously cheap. 1t is probable that
nearly all the programmes of the kinds
referred to, handsome and elaborate as
many of them are, would sell complete
at prices under So q hundred. There are
folded ball programmes, with a picture
decoration, that are sold at wholesale,
without printing or cord and tassel, as
low as 35 cents a hundred.
The production Of c~ostlier pro-
grammes, such as sell for IS a hundred
and upward, is a business by itself. These
are made in about $50 different designs,
ranging in price up to 81. 20 each. They
are made in a great variety of shapes
and sizes, and, as with the less costly
program mes, of designs appropriate tc
the occasion on which they are used.
The more costly programmes are adorn'
ed with hand painted pictures. Cellu.
loid i'll various forms is employed in the
making of these programmes, and satin,
lace and papier mache are also used.
All these programmes are of larger size
than the less expensive varieties, and
each pne is put up in a box. A pro
gramnle of the highest price was al
elaborate production IA inches square.
The programmes most commonly solo
among the c~ostlier kinds bring aboui
$IS q hundred.
There are sold of the cheaper vari
cites of hall programmes millions annu
ally; of the costher far fewer. Ihes'
may be numbered in thousands. White,
ia the season Of the most active demand
for ball programmes, but they are sole
the year round. Some ball programme
are exported to Mexico and the variou
countries of South America. Many o
the designs are equally suitable and ap
propriate anywhere. The printing i

used.-New York Sun.

The Uses of Lemons.

The uses of lemons are manifold, and
the more we employ them the better we
shall find ourselves. For all people, in
sickness or in health, lemonade is not
only a safe but IL remarkably pleasant
drink. 1t is a specific against worms
and skin complaints. The pippins
crushed may also be mixed with water
and used as a drink. Lemon juice is the
best antiscorbutic remedy known. 1t
not only cures the disease; but, what is
better than q cure, it is a preventive.
Sailors make a daily use of it for that
purpose. 1t is Il good thing to rub the
gums daily with lemon juice to keep
them in a healthy condition. 1t prevents
chilblains. Lemon used in intermittent
fevers is mixed with strong hot black
tea or coffee without sugar. Neuralgia
may be cured byrubbing the part affected
with a lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure
warts and to destroy dandruff on the
head by rubbing the roots of the hair
with it.

Little Attentions.
Evil is wrought by want Of thought
AS well as by want of heart.

As well as by want of heart.
If husbands only realized what the
little attentions mean to their wives,
there would be many happier unions.
1t is not the cost of a gift that makes it
precious to the recipient. A tiny bunch
of violets brought home at night beto-
kens the thought given to her eve
while business occupies his attention;
the most trifling souvenir of a wedding
or birthday anniversary becomes a SEN
timent underlying its proffering. Wom-
en- may be foolish, they may be all
heart and very little reason, but the
man who understands their nature and
caters to it is the Il who stands high
or in their estimation than the one who
acts as though all they cared about was
material comfort given with any sort
of brusquerie.
OF curse there are many mercenary
women-thousands and thousands who
can marry for a home and for rich raj
ment. These poohpooh the violets and
value only the diamonds. But the aver
age feminine heart, the sort which a man
wants to beat beside his own, the foun-
dation of truest sympathy and love, is
moved more by the little attentions in
which sentiment is involved than by the
great offerings representing only a stu.
pendous sum Of money involved. New
York Ledger.

"There's such a difference in brav-

brave when a patient who doesn't feel
the pain makes no cutlery. 1t doesn't
hurt him, and there's no merit in his
not showing it, but when have a pa
tient who is really and truly sensitive,
to whom every touch of the instrument
is torture, but who just bears it all and
never makes a sound-that's courage,

matter what do to him. Only the 9TH

Deaf Smiths victory.

At the battle of San Jacinto, when
Santa Annals forces had routed Hous-
toms left wing, "a deaf colonel by the
name of Smith did not hear the order
TO fall back and kept OIL fighting until
his example and success on the right
wing caused a general rally, which re-
suited in the total defeat and capture of
the Mexican army. There is a county in
Texas named Deaf Smith in honor of
the hero.

Portrait Ewes.

We all know that the eyes of an oil
portrait follow one all around the room.
That is because the painted eyes have
the pupils i'll the center, and, naturally,
they stay there, no matter what the po-
sition of the observer. In life, however,
the pupil could not remain in the CEN
ter unless the head were turned. This
is the solution of a p~erplexing and yet a
simple problem.-New York Press.
