somewhat of a reputation as a Mrs.

who assists her mother in the store,
was by dint of hard work among rela-

Maternal pride ran riot in the elder

There was a family reunion at the
home Of little Alice's mother. Grand
father, grandmother, uncles, aunts and
cousins had gathered from far and
near. The child was much bewildered,
says Harper's Magazine, and had great
difficulty in remembering the new
names and distinguishing the strange
faces
They were all anxious to be recog-
nized by the little one, the only child
present, and her mother was promptly
eager to impress all their names on her
mind. So the poor little girl was sub
jected to the tiresome questions, 'Who
is this, Alice?" What is my name?
At first she gave very vague replies,
but soon fell into fearful silence.
In little while Mary, her pretty
next door neighbor. came In. Alice
loved Mary. and her face frightened
when she saw the dear familiar face
among so many strange ones Mamma
told Mary of Alice's trouble In remem-
bering her relatives names
"But Alice knows who l am" said
Mary confidently. "Tell me, dear, who
am"
you amt nobody" said the child
fondly, with sigh of relief.
Mary was somewhat confused, but
under the circumstances it was the
highest compliment she could have re-
ceived.

To cleanse glass vases, carafes or bot
ties of any sort nothing is better than a
little muriatic acid. tablespoonful
rinsed slowly around in a vase or de-
canter will cleanse it thoroughly, re-
! moving from the glass every particle of
foreign matter. The acid can then be
poured into another vase to perform
the same office and even then returned
to the bottle of supply for service on
another occasion. After the acid is out
of the vase or bottle the latter must
be rinsed inside thoroughly first with
hot sOapsuds and then in several clear
waters. Muratic acid is a deadly pol
son and must be used with great eau
ton and only by an intelligent adult.
A child or servant should never be in

Probably the oldest and most pre-
cious autograph album that las ever
existed lies in an almost unknown cor
ner of western New Mexico.
More than two centuries before our
Saxon forefathers penetrated the des-
ert of the southwest the Spanish pi-
oneers, wandering through those lone
ly wilds, found a rock so noble and SO
remarkable, even in a country of Won
derful stone monuments, that they
called 1t "El MORO" (The CASTLE.
Wishing to leave some record for flu
ture generations, they traced with the
points of their swords their names up
on its rough surface. Those names
are there, with dates of their inscrip-
tion-in nearly every instance the early
part of the seventeenth century.

The Heard OF the Hn,lston..

If it were not for the countless tril-
lions of dust particles that float sepa-
rately invisible in the atmosphere there
could be no raindrops, snow crystals
or hailstones. From a perfectly dust
less atmosphere the moisture would de-
scend In ceaseless rain without drops.
The dust particles serve as nuclei
about which the vapor gathers. The
snow crystal is the most beautiful ere
alton of the aerial moisture, and the
hailstone is the most extraordinary.
The heart of every hailstone, as Mr.
Arthur 81. Bell shows in Knowledge,
Is tiny atom of dust. Such an atom,
with little moisture condensed about
it, is the germ from which may grow
hailstone capable of Telling a man
or smashing a window. But first it
must be caught up by a current of air
and carried to the level of the lofty
cirrus clouds, five or six or even ten
miles high. Then, continually growing
by fresh accessions of moisture, it be-
gins its plunge to the earth. spinning
through the clouds and flashing in the
sun like a diamond bolt shot from a
rainbow.

Two men-William Jones and John
Smith-were neighbors and deadly en-
emies. They often crossed swords in
court and out of it, and Jones, being
what might be called more clever than
Smith, Invariably got the better Of the
encounter. In the end so cowed was
Smith that the slightest move on the
part of Jones made him nervous and
suspicious, and with the remark, Il
wonder what object he has In this?'
he called up all his reserve faculties to
combat the fresh attack which poor
Jones never contemplated.

Cabby watched his fare make q

and then proffer it to him with an ex-
preston on his face plainly indicative
of "Now, then, you dare dispute it and
I'll take your number!'
But cabby didn't dispute it. Instead
he promptly accepted it, but slipping

That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes, and especially by
the Papuan negroes
When one of their physicians be-
comes convinced that it is necessary
to bleed a patient, he goes several feet
in front of him and then, drawing his
bow, he fits sharp pointed arrow to
it and after careful aim fires the ar
row into the vein which he desires to
open. The arrow it is said, invariably
goes straight to the mark, and the
thorn or splinter of glass with which
it is tipped does the work as success
fully as lancet.
Moreover, the patients never show
the slightest fear, since they are con-
vinced that from the moment the ar
rows pierce their veins they will begin
to recover.

paper. 1t can be made as dangerous
as steeplechasing or no more so than
an ordinary gallop over the fields. The
danger is in the fences to be ridden
over, says Country Life In America.
