them regularly little tissue slips con-
tanning notices printed in imitation Of
the typewriter. These were originally
sent out under one-cent stamp to
save postage, but the results were SO
unsatisfactory that the two-centet was
adopted instead. OF course, the cost
is something enormous, as the lists
are large and the slips are sent out
quite frequently, but the returns must
Justify the extra outlay, as nobody
has gone back to the old plan. In
fact, the one-cent stamp was hugely
illogical for that particular purpose,
as the imitation of the typewriter was
intended to give the inclosure per-
sonal air which was at once defeated
by the appearance of the envelope.
Even marked papers mailed by the
dramatic agents at present are sup
piled with two-cent stamps. They
attract attention and make the package
seem extra important"

Love has language to describe
everything but itself.
Every woman likes to be thought q
riddle, but not one that can't be
guessed.
Lots of married men growl at their
wives in bass and make love to them
in falsetto.
A man is dangerously near falling in
love with a woman when he likes to
hear her laugh.
Every girl has an idea that when
she is telling man she loves him, her
face will appear transfgured.
Probably the greatest compliment a
man can pay to woman is not to have
her fall in love with him.
There is certain look of quiet en-
ioyment which never comes over a
woman's face except at funeral.
q. .soman's face may look like an
open book, but you may be pretty
sure the pages are stitched in all
wrong.
You can generally tell how engaged
people will treat each other after they
get married by the way they don't
treat each other while they are en-
gagged. New York Press.

One of tue Kirghiz came into my
tent, and, squctting down, began to
play the keumuss, three-stringed in
strument played with the fingers. The
music was monotonousss and of a mel
ancholy cadence, but it harmonized
well with the moods they inspired.
In word, it was typically Asiatic. I
sat and listened to it with pleasure,
giving my imaginationsca to the
music, the soft moaning of the night
wind, the gentle crackle of the fire.
How many and many night did L
not spend thus during the long years
that followed, listening to the dreamy
sounds of that primitive Kirghiz in
s:.ament!
low many dark, solitary winter
afternoon did not while away in this
foolish fashionl In course of time I
grew accustomed to the kaumuss, and
derived as much pleasure from it as
the Kirghiz did themselves. In fact,
| grew fond of IS. Its soothing music
carried my mind away into the fairy
realms of day dreams; my thoughts
flew far away to my home amid the
dark pine woods of Sweden. =

Charles Weiss, of Somerville, Mass,
petitions the Boston Board of Alder
men for license to slaughter horses
for the domestic and foreign meat
trade, "the business to be carried on,
and the product to be sold or used for
food, packed in barrels for export"
If the Board grants the license the
State Health Commissioners will be
called upon to act, as the final decis-
ion rests with them. There is no law
against the practice, but this is the
first time it has come up for legisla-
tive consideration. A large export
trade in horse meat is carried on
outside of Massachusetts, the product
going mainly to Germany, though its
use is extending in all Continental
countries.

On one OF the suburban streets q
girl of nineteen remained at home with
the smaller children while the parents
went to the theatre. The locality was
somewhat lonely, but no one had ever
been disturbed, and then she had
more courage than the average woman.
just after the clock struck ten she
heard an unusual and unaccountable
noise upstairs. All those of the family
at home were with her, and she could
only account for the racket by the
presence of burglar. She only
hoped that he would take what he
wanted and depart without molesting
them. But this hope was dashed by
a loud report from theroom just over
head.
There was quiet for time Per.
haps the burglar had accidently shot
himself. She would have shrieked
for policeman, but she knew there
was none in earshot, and she would
not leave the children while she ran
for neighbor. She grouped the lit
tie ones about her and waited. Then
came two sharp, quick reports and she
was planning an escape with her little
charges through the back way, when
the parents arrived. Despite all the
children talking at once, the thrilling
news was soon understood. All i'm
plored the father to go for an officer,
but he armed himself with hammer
and the brave daughter led the ad.
vance with lamp. AS they reached
the second landing there was another
report and the old gentleman hurried
down stairs. The daughter saw red
streak shoot upward ahead of her, yet
she laughed until she had. to set the
lamp down in preference to dropping
it. The canned tomatoes were stored
up there, and after the usual prelimin-
ary rumblings that accompany the
acute state of fermentation, they had
been exploding one by ne.-Detroit

Great progress has been made, and
the prison system of to day is radically
different from that of q generation
ago. But the cause of prison reform
has moved slowly, because the people
know SO little about it, and give so
little attention to it. 1t was much
easier to interest people in the reforms
which Howard pressed upon the public
attention than it is to interest them in
modern reforms. Howard demanded
great changes in the physical condi-
tion of prisoners. But modern prison
reform has to do with something very
different. There are no cruelties now.
The next forward step is toward i'm
proving the prisoner himself. This
IS an infinitely higher aim than that
Of Howard's day.

Practice makes perfect even In
wrong-doing and in the use of what
seem to be very awkward means. A
writer in the Boston Transcript says:
The Gauchos, or dwellers, on the ex-
tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are
maryelously deXterous with both
hands and feet Many of them have
acquired, through long practice such
skill in using their toes instead OF
fingers that they can fling the lasso
and even pick pockets with them
Some time ago a Frenchman, who was
fishing in one of the rivers of Buenos
Ayres, was warned to be on his guard
against the light fingered natives. He
forthwith kept a vigilant watch upon
his companions, but, nevertheless, ono
day when his attention was closely
riveted on his float, willy Gaucho
drew near and delicately inserting his
foot extracted the Frenchman's hooks
and other valuable from his pocket

Hard Luck For This Scientist.

A scientific gentleman told little
tale worth repeating at a British
Association meeting the other day.
He is engaged in collecting material
for book on magnetism, and heard
of paper on the subject in a German
periodical. Not knowing the Teu.
tonic tongue, ne sent the article to q
translation bureau. In due time the
translation was handed to him, and
when he scanned the lines he became
very wroth indeed, fer the article was
simply German rendering of one
from the gentleman's own pen, which
appeared in an English paper year
ago. Insult was added to injury
when the scientist had to pay fo1
translation exactly as much again as
he received from the proprietors oi
the journal in which the article origin.
ally figured. d.-Invent!on.

Using Old Carpets.

Old ingram and Brussels carpets
are now rewoven into durable rugs.
These rugs are pretty if harmonious
colors are used. The effect of a gem
eral hit-and-miss pattern is especially
good if the colors are we'll divided.
Formerly the carpets were cut in
strips for this purpose by the owner,
but now those who make these rugs
prefer to have the carpets sent as they
are. 1t is not necessary to clean
them, but the rug manufacturers
charge consic cradle extra when they
lind 1T necessary to clean the carpet
ing before weaving it into rugs. tits
an economy, therefore, to send the
carpets clean. They are returned
considerably reduced in size, but in
the form OF an attractive-looking rug,
with soft, thick, fluffy surface that
wears WELL All-wool ingram carpets
make especially pretty rugs. This
work of reiuvenating old carpets came,
like many other good things, out of
the West. and at one time it was diff
cult to find any firm in New York
State which wove such rugs. To-day
it is easy to find such an establish
ment in any of the larger cities of the
State. The work represents genu.
inc economy, as the cost of making
rug is not in excess of the value of
completed rug, as it often is when
rag carpet rugs are woven. 1t is
quite a common thing for weavers to
charge more for making rag carpet
than new ingram carpet would cost.
When the labor of cutting and sewing
is taken into account the rag carpet
may be an expensive article. The
weaver cuts and weaves these carpet
rugs we have described and can make
them at a smaller price than the rag
carpet weaver charges for his closer,
slower work. 1t does not pay to re.
weave carpet worn threadbare.
There is nothing left in tapestry
Brussels worn to the hemp, and we
believe no rug-weaver undertakes to
make over tapestry carpet. 1t does
not pay to weave over faded cotton
and wool ingram, but pure wool in
grain makes very desirable rug
