Why She Is Popular.

disclose the secret of her popularity
that others may benefit by it and the
world thus be made brighter. Would
you object to telling me the secret of
your popularity" said he, turning to
society woman nearby. She replied:
Il think the secret is due to the fact
that l write notes. When / hear OF

her engagement is announced / write

her remember it with few words on
a sheet of paper. 1t really takes very
little time if kept up properly, and is
so heartily appreciated, you know.
Thank you," said the man. You
have explained why you are favorite
with women. Now, will you tell me
why men find you so charming?" "A
man is very sensitive creature. but
women, as a rule, overlook this fact
A man does not like to be reminded
of his shortcomings any more than

Dainty Footgear.

For full dress wear the very daintest
of footgear is again in fashion-slip-
pers made in all the light shades, and
in gold and silver as well. Patent
leather will be worn more this winter
both by men and women than ever be-
fore, and is made up in the three fore
going styles. and considered as appro-
pirate for the street as for the ball
room. Imitation tips are quite the
fashion; that is, on the patent leather
shoe there is no tip, but double row
of stitching or perforations to simulate
one. Kid and calfskin shoes are all
most invariably made with the imita-
ton tip, although occasionally a pat
ent leather tip is seen on kid boot
or shoe. Tan calfskin boots will be
worn during the winter months again
for bad weather, those carrying the
absurdly elaborate trimmings of per-
forations being most in fashion, Phil

A Tigers Bite.

/ have more than once heard of a
man defending himself from the on
slaught of lion or tiger by thrusting
his rifle barrel down it's throat in the
last resort. Poor Major Sandbach, of
the artillery, came to his death in
Somaliland few years ago in attempt
ing to thus hold off lioness, which,
nevertheless, managed to infiict on his
hand and arm bites which proved fatal.
A curious story of the same kind comes
from the Khandwa district of North
ern India. Mr.. Bayley, also an artil-
lery officer, was charged by wounded
tiger, which he was following up. He
missed it with his first barrel, and the
second failed to go off. The tiger
sprang and Mr.. Bayley jumped to one
side, thrusting out his rifle to keep the
brute off. The tiger, it is stated, seized
the barrels and made his teeth through
them, and, being unable to withdraw
them, was shot by Capt. Harrison, Mr..
Bayley's companion. In his death
struggle he dragged the rifle from the
owners hands, and the jar caused by
the stock striking the ground broke off
two teeth which were imbedded in the
steel. This story is said to be abso-
lutely true, but, with the profoundest
respect for the strength of the tigers

Good Cheer About Death.

Let any man be of good cheer about
his soul who has ruled his body and
delighted in knowledge in this life;
who has adorned the soul in her own
proper jewels, which are temperance,
justice, courage. nobility and truth. In
these arrayed, the soul is ready for the
journey even to another world, when
the time comes. For, if death be the
journey to another place. and there all
the dead are, what good can be greater
than this? Be of good cheer about
death, and know this Of a truth, that
no evil can happen to a good man
either in life or after death. God orders
and holds together the whole universe,
in which are all things beautiful and
good. He keeps it always unimpaired.
unconfused, undecaying. obeying His
law swifter than thought, and in per-
sect order.-Socrates.

To Avoid Afonotonv.

With respect to the daily menu there
IS often a decided cutlery. and a just
one. against the monotony of food.
Because it requires little trouble and
a little forethought and patience, the
introduction of new dishes is post
poned from day to day, and old dishes
prepared in the same way are offered
continuously until one gets to know
jus. what TO expect on particular days
1t is good plan to experiment on new
dishes at luncheon. so that, should
failures arise. they shall not make
their appearance before a tableful of
hungry mortals. 1t is well also to
write down the days orders in a small
book. These books should be kept. as
they form a ready reference when ono
is in hurry. and also prevent one
from repeating the same thing too
often.

riage must have turned out very happi-

Cruelty to Daughters.

1t would probably astonish the ma
jority of mothers who guard their
dat fighters so zealously from all house
hold "drudgery" to be accused of cruel
ty, and yet it has been very justly
claimed that there can hardly be a
more mistaken kindness, in reality q
greater cruelty, on the part of a
mother toward daughter than for her
to relieve the daughter from all active
participation in home duties. TO keep
their hands fair and delicate. to spare
them all care and trouble-this will
WORK very well for few months or
years, but what is the after conse-
auence? asks the conscientious mother.
Your silken-haired little girl-what a
sweet, attractive little creature she is!
And you bring her up like playthins,
as Ii she were live doll; but all your
fondness and tenderness and devotion
will not keep the years back. and she
soon grows to be a woman. 1t i5 power
greater than yours-it is the Creator
Limself-who has imposed upon ner q

their misery? Because for this most
important function in domestic econ
omy you, in your ill-judged tender

No hired help can ever make up for
the lack of knowledge and qualifica-
tons in the mistress of household. A
mother who has allowed her daughter

ries of housekeeping has been guilty OF

The Spirits Help.

Without the help of the Holy Spirit
no one is ready to be a teacher of Gods
word. No matter how we'll trained he
may be, how familiar he is with the
truths he is to present, unless he has
received the Holy Spirit he is not pre-
pared to teach. The disciples had been
for many months with their Master.
They lived in the closest intimacy with
Him. They had received the truth
from His lips. They were under His
personal training. But they were bid
den not to begin their work until they
had received power from on high. Yet
in honoring the Holy Spirit we must
take care not to dishonor the Holy
Word. To claim to depend upon the
Spirit while we make no use of the
sacred Scriptures is fanaticism. The
Spirit used the word of God. The minds
and hearts of the first disciples were
filled with the word of Christ. This
was not sufficient in itself to prepare
them for their mission as apostles; it
was necessary, after they had been SO
instructed, that the Holy Spirit should
come into their hearts, as the fire of
God, to kindle all this knowledge into
a glowing fame, and yet the knowl-
edge was essential. The Spirit did not
teach them new truths-he only vital
lied the truth ths$ knew before. No
teacher has any right to omit Bible
study and the preparation of his les
son, and then expect the Spirit to sup
ply the lack. to teach him what he has
not taken the pains to learn for him
self He must learn of Christ, and
know his teachings, and then he has
right to expect the Holy Spirit to come
and fill him, and kindle his knowledge
into glowing fire.-Rev Or. J. R.
Miller.
