This leaves q margin Of thirty cents,

may be laid away for such staples as
olive oil or fancy cheese, or some rel

you may add another course and have
a more elaborate sweet, using the

PuCilisln in japan.

The extent to which the Japanese
are becoming Europeanized in the less
essential matters Of life Is shown by
the manner in which our sports and
pastimes are taken up by the vernac'
ular press.
The recent fight between Fitzsim'
mons and Sharkey was reported al
length by more than one Toxic paper,
their names in the native syllabary be-
coming Shiyakei and Fuitsuzushimon,
Facts like this and also the no less re
markable one that the last Of the sho

how thoroughly the Japanese have
turned their backs on their old ways
and ideas-London Mail.

Take Children Inlo Partnership.

A lady was recently speaking of her
plan to keep all business cares and
anXieties from the knowledge OF her
children-keeping everything depress-
ing out Of their life, she called it-that
they might be free to enjoy them
selves as long as possible, with no
feeling of trouble or responsibility.
"But will that really add to their hap
piness in the long run?" asked an old.
er mother, dissentingly. 1--WE have al
ways tried to take our children into
partnership-to have them share our
plans and interests, and let them
know what we are trying to do and
what we have to live on. 1t seems to
me that successes are more valued II
they come as. something one has hoped
for and helped to work for, and re-
trenchments are more easily borne II
they are intelligently agreed upon in
the family council instead Of forced
upon the younger members with only
the bald statement that we. cannot af.
ford this or that. 1t strengthens the
family tie if the children feel that 1t Is
our home, our business and our inter
est; if they know that their opinion is
considered and that their votes count
it is q means of education in wisdom,
self-control and unselfishness. Life's
best good for all of us lies in its disci'
pline: not in escaping it's burdens, but
in learning how to bear them.-Leslie's
Weekly.

Know Thyself.

A teacher in one of Boston's public
schools had Instructed her pupils in
hygiene, and toward the endsof the
term, wishing to see how well they
could remember, ,old them to each
write out little story Of the human
body. The following is copied from
the "story" one small boy handed her,
with the confident assurance that he
knew it was all right, for he had stud
led very hard over it:
"The human body is divided into
three parts: the head, the thorax and
the abdomen.
'"The head contains the brains, If
there are any; the thorax contains the
heart and the vital organs, and the abb
domen the vowels, of which there are
five, a, e, ], and u, and sometimes W
and y."-The Household.

When the Cat Travels.

A novel method to insure the com.
fort and safety Of cat, while travel
ing, was seen on an incoming train
one day last week. The pet kitten
was not as usual immured in the dark
ness and STIFFNESS of a box or basket.
Instead, 1t was sewed in bag of stout
ticking, made about eighteen inches
square. At one side the little head
was thrust through, the seam closing
isnugly but not too tight at either side
Of the neck. In this way the kittens
body was perfectly free inside the
roomy bag, and the bright eyes could
see the friendly faces about, while all
chance of sudden fight was prevented,
A loop of broad tape served as strap

An OSIiglng Bishop.

So kind and obliging is the Bishop
of Norwich, England, that host Of
stories are told about how he has got
himself into trouble by his willingness
to help others. One day he was to hold
q confirmation in q small town and,
arriving some time before the hour
for service, took a stroll. His steps
led him to the outskirts of the town
and, passing a picturesque little cot.
tage, he stopped to admire it. A pretty
little garden separated the cottage
from the road, finished off with q neat
hedge and green gate.
"Oh, please, SIR" said a voice from
the other side Of the hedge, would
you open the gate for meT'>
This the Bishop at once did. Then.
to his surprise, instead Of the tiny
child he had, expected, there stepped
forth a girl big enough to have opened
the gate herself.
"And why, my DEAR" said DR.. Sheep
shanks, "could you not open the gate
for yourself?'
please, sir, because the paints
wet" said the girl.
A glance at his hand convinced tEc
Bishop of the absolute truth Of her
statement.
Another story, which the Bishop de
MES, yet which is told of him, relates
that small girl having tried vainly
to reach knocker on q door, asked
the Bishop to rap it for her. Then she
advised him to run away, as she in.
tended to do.

There's your walf, Captain! I've
brought him aboard according to or
ders. What shall we do with him?"
Captain Starkweather scratched his
head and considered. Then he Or
dered:
Get him on deck"
Sailors are ingenious. They cast
lines about each limb of the beast eau
tiously; they muzzled him; they wound
and tied him like great bale; they
heaved him inboard, growing feebly,
too spent to fight, but alive.
Portuguese Perez,who had often been
on that coast, explained that the ami
NAL had probably followed some prey
into the sea, OF had been caught by
the ebb tide when crossing the mouth
of a creek, and doated seaward, lost
in the fog. So he had been swimming
about all night, or longer, lucky that
the sharks did not get him.
There was great cage on board
The Corlear was to have taken on
young leopard at Cape Town, but the
beast died before the ship sailed. 81
now Captain Starkweather had this
cage overhauled by the carpenter anc
set up amidship. Waif, as they named
him, was put into it and nursed very
carefully. His sea swim and the crew
all making a pet of him tanned him
quickly. There was some trouble
about food. but the men spared hin

Little Bird-Mother.

It is very hard to get acquainted
with humming bird. Do You know
why? 1t is because the bird is SO shy
and can fly so fast. 80 s..
A humming bird once built her tiny
nest where 1t could be seen from q ]
gentleman's window. One day q heavy
shower Yas coming up,i and just as
the first big drops began to fall the
little mother came flying home. What
do you think she did? She took
large leaf from a tree close by, put
It over the nest so as to cover it all
up, and then few away. The gentle
man wondered why the leaf did not
blow away. He found it was hooked
fast to a tiny stick just inside the nest

Japs Use Arabic Figures.

There is one thing that strikes for
eigner as being peculiarly strange in
the uniform Of the Japanese soldier,
says a writer in North American Notes
and Quepesv~ This is that the numer-
ais which he wears upon his shoulder
straps, to- denote the num6cr Of his
are European numbers, pot
Chinese or Japanese Telegraph. For
instance, the soldiers of the Third
Regiment just wore a 8 upon their
shoulder straps. I found upon inquiry
that this was because the European
numbers were so much more quickly
and easily distinguished from each
other than the complicated Chinese
characters. A truly practical nation

Care of the Finger Nails.

The ugliest hands can be improved
If a little careful attention Is given to
the nails. The pairing of them is i'm
portant, they should be brilliantly pol
ished, and, of course, the appearance
of the milk white crescents is one Of
the chief features of pretty finger
nail. The shape in which the nails
are cut should depend to q certain ex-
tent on tie shape Of the finger tips,
but filbert shaped nails are generally
considered the most beautiful. Ma nj
curing will do much to beautify the
hands, and if but one hour a week is
given up to the care of them excellent
results may be expected. Every day,
after washing, the flesh at the base OF
the nail should be pressed back.

Light Felt Hats Popular.


Felt assumes every color. Quite re-
Gently a taste was developed for pale
rose colored, sky blue and mauve Of
different shades. This does not mean,
however, that there is any decrease IN
the demand for. chalky white and pale
beige. and for the many shades Of
light, medium and dark browns. The
deeper positive tones most in vogue
for felts are "Coquelicat" and "Paur-
pre-" and a dark, dull green, which
does not figure on the color card Of
this season, and which may be de-
scribed as a much darker shade Of the
two light green's sampled under the
names of exposition" and "univer-
selle." Pale blue and pink felts make
charming dressy hats for young girls.
Some Of these Of the soft formless
shape intended to be worn off the face
are very simply trimmed: as, for in
stance, with a breadth Of liberty silk
to match, twisted round the crown and
then passing over the brim in front
and fastened to n narrow coronet Of
ribbon by a small bunch of flowers.
The mauve hats have somewhat less
youthful appearance. One is Of Par
ma tint; the brim Is caught back by
a torsade of miroir velvet to match,
that also encircles the crown, and the
hat rests on coronet in which are
fastened two half-open roses Of Bor-
deauX tint, with a few brown leaves.
About the edge Of the brim, the head
resting on the velvet torsade, Is a mar
