Apropos of nothing in particular-un-

gist tell of little occurrence in his
shop the other day.
He was alone and putting up a pre-
scription behind his large partition
screen when a stylishly dressed wo-
man entered and asked with some ex-
citement for the telephone.
He ensconced her in front of it and
returned to his work.

''21I9 - street. Yes, yes. Mr.. Hen
ry Weeker Yes, yes. He's at No.

Mr.. Weeker?'
Then her voice hardened.
Henry, why did you tell me yol

What? No, you did not l know bet

Goats Milk.

Modern Medicine says that goats
milk. contrary to the general impress.
Sions, differs from cows milk not in
being more digestible, but in being
ess digestible and less nutritious, al
though it contains a larger amount of
solid matter than cows milk 1t is
indeed the most indigestible Of all
milk
Coats milk has peculiar and I'M
pleasant odor and flavor, due to hircic
acid or bircine. 1t contains an excess
Of fat and is therefore altogether too
Itch for an infants diet.

Glove Cutting.

The cutters Of the great glove houses
at Brussels and in France earn even
higher wages than the cutters Of the
most fashionable tailors in London
and New York. SO difficult is this art
of cutting gloves that most of the prin-
clpal cutters are known to the trade
by name and by fame, and the pecul-
lar knives which they use in the bust
ness are so highly priced that they are
handed down from generation to gen.

THE BIRDS PETITION.
Deep in leaty woodland bowers.

Deep in leafy woodland bowers,
Bright with underground of fowsN
Ger the dappled mead and pool
And in tangled lanes most cool,
Pipe the throstle, finch and lark ~
From the dewy dawn to dark,
And they pipe and never tire
Songs as sweet as loves desire.
OFT to me they seem to sing,
On the branch or on the wing:
III you leave us space and sky,
Room to nest and sing and fly,
We will pipe for your delight,
Pipe and make the days more bright,
But in narrow cage confined
Bong is slain by Joy unkind.
Honor, then, our wide domain,
Break not little hearts with pain;
God who made the merry day
Gave to Us our roundelay,
And like honey laden bee,
Or like wild winds made us free,
Leave, then, leave US to our song,
Woods and meads and flowers among"

come the fashion to follow every lit
tie address or song with applause
sometimes as. mark of courtesy, some
times because the audience is really
delighted. People become accustomed
to this and respond automatically to
any public remarks. One day lately at
a meeting woman member of an or
ganization prominent in southern cir
cles of society arose and made pleas
ant little speech to her sister members.
Later on she bowed her head solemnly
and offered up a touching prayer. All
cast down their eyes and looked i'm
pressed, and when amen was breathed
a member, who had succumbed to the
force of habit, forgot herself and
clapped her hands loudly in applause
of the prayer. Everybody caught on
to the mistake, and not even the SOL

other members from grinning aside.
