Bewitching Neckthings
 25 cents Each.

We thought we knew how pret- ty the Neckthings at a5c could be. To-day we're ready to admi, that We never before had such or iginal, really charming things.
 Twenty-Five different sorts at least, designs you'd never believe could be worked out for so little There are tucked stocks of glace taffeta; silk
 stocks with narrow band ties, the silk
 held together with sort of white bead
 ing; black velvet stocks with Pearl beads
 at the neck and dash of color below;
 white taffeta stocks with q black velvet
 white bound turn over collar; all-black
 velvet stocks with black silk ruche, all
 of these in every color as well as black, And that's all the writer can find space for now, but there are three times as many that are equally as pretty, to say nothing at all of the white lace ties.
 All in the choice at 26cts

The Delicious Guinea Pig.

We do not yet appreciate the tailless oavy
as an article Of human food. In France
they sell them for rabbits, and there are
three farms in this country where they art
reared and which export them to France,
one farmer alone exporting over 150, ,00C
of the little beasts. The flavor of the mea,
is said to be Identical with that Of rabbi,
meat. These animals need constant at
tention to keep them out Of mischief, al
they are little demons to fight, and they
have habit of chewing up whatever frag
ments they find scattered about till they
die of gastric congestion. In their habits
they are subject to unaooountable panics,
and often rush about squeaking, and then
huddle together quietly for the rest Of the
day. They are very prolific, and the young
are not blind like the young of the rabbit
and often when only two days old, 1t II
said, will eat grass and sop.
On the farm they are fed on sop made
Of milk and stale but not sour bread
along with green stuff, barley and hay.
In guinea pig farming, as in quail farm
ing, 1t is admitted that large profits are
made-due no doubt to the fact that there
is 80 little competition. Probably the rab
bit you so much enjoyed at your hotel din
ners when touring in France was simply
the humble cavy dressed up.-Chambers

Enelish Comments on America.

Some amusing storie illustrating Eng
lish ignorance of American affairs are told
by London resident who is at home II
literary and political circles.
At literary reception Mr.. Lowell was
referred to as one of the masters Of Amer
lean poetry, who had never seemed capable
of doing anything else.
81 think you are wrong" said one IN 8
critical tone. "Mr. Lowell wrote several
books which were we'll worth reading"
"What are they9" asked the first oom
mentator on American literature.
"'The Autoorat' and the other Break
fast Table Books was the serene reply,
AS every one in the group looked wise
and innocent, itwas evident that the rival
claims of DR.. Holmes to the authorship o1
those Breakfast Table Books" were moi
suspected.
A graduate of an English university was
amazed by reference to the American
civil war which was casually made in con-
versation at a clubhouse.
"When did it take placer" he asked. 81
had supposed that there had been no fight
ing In America since George Washing
toms revolution In the time of George
ILL.,"
he had read for degree at an English
university and had travelled extensively on
the continent and in the far east, but had
never heard of the greatest civil conflict oi
ancient or modern times!-Youth's Com

HEART IN TRADE.
Tho Experience of Man Who FAILED
HonestIy and Was Helped to His Feet.


Even trade has it's romances. The other
day some merchants who have grown gray
in the pursuit of the practical and material
were swapping stories of their experiences.
Said one, now millionaire:
"While I was still attending school, my
father was compelled to suspend business.
He and another man owned mill up In
New England and little retail dry goods
store in Brooklyn. My father attended to
the mill and his partner to the retail busi-
ness. One day my fnther learned that his
partner had abscondod after raising all the
money he could on the firms name. My
father came to New York. and found that
after using every dollar he had in the
world he would still owe $500. He turned
his assets over to his creditors, borrowed
the $500 necessary to pay his creditors
dollar for dollar and went to work on a
salary. After several years of hard work
he paid back the $500, and was free from
debt once more.
"At that time my father was superin'
tendept of big Sunday school in Brook
lyn. One Of the women who took an in.
terest in the school was an old maid who
had known my father for years. She knew
about his experiences, and was determined
that he should be independent again. So
she went to half dozen leading members
Of the church and told them she wanted to
borrow some money to start dad in Dusl.
ness again. All responded cheerfully, and
one day my father was surprised at visit
from the woman.
"'Mr. - she said, here Is $1,000
with which you are going to start in bust
ness for yourself Naturally my father was
startled. Lord bless you, Miss - he
said, Il can't take that. Besides, do not
want to 20 into business again. am sat
isfied as l am 'There Is the money! she
replied, 'and you are going into business.
Now, don't delay about it, The old man
still demurred, but she insisted, and after
awhile she got his consent to use the
money. That was the foundation of our
present business. Father opened q little
dry goods store and left school to help
him. Two years later father went to one
of the men who had contributed toward
his capital and handed him the $500 be
had advanced. What's that forP he
asked. why, that is the money you gave
Miss -- to start me in business, said
dad. Nonsense, said he. you don't owe
me anything, old man. Eliza came to me
and asked me for $500, and gave it to
her. If she had asked for $1,000, she
would have got it just as quick. I made
no record of it, and don't want it, you
have got to take it, said dad. Now,
please, DON'T said he; it will upset all
my bookkeeping. Father insisted, though,
and finally had his way. Most Of his other
creditors talked the same way, but all had
to give In. Within week back came the
money with letters, asking father to give
the money to the poor If be did not want
to use it himself. I am glad to say we
have been able to return some Of the kind
ness shown US then. New York Sun. i
