SHOPPING I'M ITALY.
Outlandish Methods That Make II a
Most Tiresome Task.


A source of trial is what appears TO
Us the outlandish method of having
things that apparently belong together
sold in different establishments. Silks
are found in one shop, woolens in an
other and ribbons in a third. AT none
Of these can one buy needles and thread.
If a woman wishes TO hang a pair of
curtains. she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at differ
ent place, the iron fixtures at a thirC
and has TO 60 TO fourth to find an up
holsterer 10 put them up. She must
visit tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, as with us, vegetables, fruit or
bread at grocer's. 1t may thus readily
be seen that one must travel good deal
to do her marketing or shopping.
Add TO all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards of measure
and weight are different from ours, a
meter exceeding a yard and a pound
containing but IL ounces, and faint
idea may be formed of the mental COM
plicatiOns of the traveller.
There is also a certain amount Of
beating down 60 be done in nearly every
shop, and even after half an hours bar
gaining the purchaser cherishes awful
doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping Is really
almost equal to the contemplation of
faded frescoes for lowering the mental
tone, and it is hard TO say which has
the more TO answer for in the exhausted
state in which most travellers leave
aly.-Harper's Bazaar.

Not Doing the worrrlns.

"I have made discovery. said Mir. Billtops. "and that is that there is like ly to be some ono person In a household that does all the worrying. There may be others that fret and very likely frst over trifiing things, but the real worry ing over things that have got to be docs and got to be looked after Is usually sli done by ono person. The person that does the worrying in my house Is MFa Billtops. The children and myself spd all hands lean on her and expect her 70 do everything. l don't know. but sort of think. that we expect her Co provide things whether VIC have any money or not, and sbo certainly does seem 10 make everything come out all rigbs somehow.
 "Now, as n rule, among men the man who does tho worrying gets paid fct tt He is usually the man at the head of n enterprise or a concern or department or whatever it may be, who Is able tp do the work and willing to take the oafe and responsibility of it. Those under him may pile their cares upon hirp, and he shoulders them-many a man. easily. There are, thank goodness, plep- ty of men that don't shy at responsibii- ity.
 But these men get paid for what they do, and Mrs. Billtops does not up- less she counts my appreciation as soms. thing. The children don't realize whNt she does They expeot 1t. And. As for me, the silent partner, if l don't stand up and take the knocks. think ought at least to put in more capital. "--Nsw York Sun

CHOIR PRACTICE.

As l sit stump here in tho woods among the clean faced becchcs Tue trunks of the trees seem to me like ths pipes of a mighty organ Thrilling my soul with wave on wave of the harmonies of the universal anthem, The grand divine eonio "l am" chorus The red squirrel scoldins in yonder hickory tree,
 The flock of blackbirds chattering in council overhead. The monotonous crickets in the unseen mead. ow,
 Even the silent ants travelling their narrow highway with enormous burdens nt my All, like choristers, sing in the green arched cathedral The heaven prompted mystery, "I am, I am. 1" The rays of sunshine shoot down through the branches and touch the delicate ferns and the blades of coarse grass piercing up through last years dead leave, And all cry out together, 'I am." We used to call upon all these works of tho Lord to praise the Lord, and they did praise him, But now they praise no longer, for they have been taught a new song, and with one accord they chant the "I am" I. too. would learn the new music, and begin hesitatingly to take part in the world wide choir practice. After all these quiet private rehearsals At last in my own place you may look for me also in the vast eternal chorus, And we all of us, as you see us, are but inouth- pieces.
 who is it that behind md beneath sings ever through us, now whispering, now thun. dering, "I ami"
