DARNING IMPLEMENTS.
The Sight OF a Stocking Bob in His
Own Home Starts the Middle
Aged Man Talking.

Some folks, said the middle-aged
man, spread a stocking over their fin
gers to darn 1T, but [ imagine that most
people use a form of some sort to
stretch the stocking over. [ remember
seeing an orange used for this purpose
once when [ was boy. How they ever
dried it [ don't know, but it's shape was
preserved perfectly, and the skin was
sort of brown or gray and as hard
as wood. 1t was very light and when
you shook it you could hear the seeds
rattle inside. It made a good stock
ing darner said he, according to the
New York Sun.
Gourds, [ suppose, must be quite
largely used for darning purposes,
still, though I imagine that in cities
things of this sort have been mostly
supplanted by the wooden darners,
mushroom shaped, that are made to use
with q handle or without. We use
mushroom darner where I live, and, as
there are children there, it is brought
into regular and constant use. [ find
upon casual inspection of it that the
varnish is ell worn off rs face, which is
SCARED with many marks of the needle
point, giving more than hint Of the
many thousands of times the needle
has Travelled back and forth across it.
Really, there is nothing that brings
to my mind so strikingly the fact that
I am a man of mature years with
family of my own as the sight of this
Il 10
have accumulated in the service of my
own household. Put still it doesn't
carry me back so far as the thought Of
the dried orange does, with the seeds
rafting about in it.

From nature, sir; from nature. To

This caused me no surprise. [ tried sew

JUST INDIGNATION,
Felt by a Kin H ca rted Woman When
She Heard of Men Cumming"
"BIind Pig"

A certain woman of this town is
noted for her kindness to animals,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel She has
a way Of bringing stray dogs and cats
into her own and her friends homes,
with a heart OVERLOOKING with such
affection for her foUr-footed brethren,
as she calls them, that over and over
again she persuades unwilling people
into becoming guardians to one-eared
felines and sad visaged ours. Not long
ago this woman was visiting in mo
license" town and some one undertook
to play the old joke "the blind pig"
on her, telling her with great concern
that they were running such an ami
NAL just outside of the town. That was
enough. The kindly woman put on her
bonnet and set off for the village mar
shall or some such functionary, and
with tears IN her eyes protested
