q bright girl, and got along very nice

There was no miStaking her words,
so 1 answered. Yes, indeed, you get
prettier, and no wonder in such fresh
air and Just then she caught her
mothers eye, and, with the other la
dies, she left the room. AS she went
out she looked over her shoulder with
such whitening scorn in her eyes that
I knew I had put my foot in it some

Buying q Razor.

who shaves himself.
Better let me set it for you," suS-
gested the reformed barber, who, now
that he is 4 trolley car conductor,
regards himself us a distinguished
member Of society. "All cutlery stores
are filed with razors Of the class
known rs dead ones When q barber
buys a razor. he takes it with the un-
derstanding that he is to try it out, and
if it doesn't work we'll he takes it back
and gets another one, keeping this up
until he gets one that suits him. Buy
ing a razor. you know, is a lottery in
which the prizes are few and far be-
tween. When the ordinary citizen goes
to cutlery store, he picks out what he
thinks is a good razor, pays for it and
takes his chances. He picks one out,
too, from the bunch Of dead ones that
BARRIERS have tried and found wanting.
That's why advise you to let me get
it for you. Then if you don't like it I
can keep exchanging it until you get q
good one They needn't know I've quit

friend to reprove her for her slacken-

was a club for reforming the gas met
er or something-anyhow it was a re-
form affair.
Look here, Lizzie" said the enthu'
siast, "why on earth don't you come
to the meetings? Here you are paying
your dues and never showing up. You
owe it to the club to take an interest
in the work"
"But l can't come" explained her
friend. There's the baby, and Henry
doesn't come home sometimes till late,
and supper must wait, and if he wants
to go out 1 can't go away and leave
the children. I would worry myself
to death"
"Well, must say Henry is inconsid-

my husband and children too. They
give me no trouble. Every time want
to 90 to the club Charlie says he will
be glad to stay at home with Bridget

A Savage Bluejay.

A sportsman camping on one OF the
lakes of Sullivan county, n. Y, offered
to bet $40 to 81 that nobody in his par
ty could guess how lie had received an
injury to q finger which he held bleed
ing before the spectators. No one guess
ed, and the man went on to explain
that while standing by the lake he had
seen a bluejay flying over Sc close
above his head that he instinctively
threw up his hand to stop it. The bird
neither stopped nor swerved, but in
stead dashed straight for the hand,
striking it with such force that the bill
penetrated to the bone and sent the
blood squirting as though the man had
been struck by q knife.
This sort Of action is in line with the
general conduct of the jay. 1t is one Of
the most aggressive birds on the con-
tinent, robbing the nests Of other birds
and sometimes even killing young squir-
rels. The chief good thing that can be
said Of it is that it often robs the nest
Of the English sparrow.

forth on the future punishment Of the
wicked.

planted himself as firmly as he could
and, addressing the man in the pulpit,
