with those who burst their superiority

their manners are so different and their

to our decision:
will the never-failing Sun shed a
ray of light on the apparently frfvo-

IF not, why not? If ever, when?'
1t is not at all a frivolous question.
1t is a very serious and important ques-

Filtration may be defined, we sup

dangerous game. 1t is making light
of a passion which it may easily fan
into a consuming flame.
Flirting is often, nay, usually, only
a pretense of frivolity, under which IS
hidden very serious feeling, even when
the player is unconscious Of the emo

astTous result for one side or the other
by kindling or intensifying that flame
of passion.
Therefore. flirting cannot be
called harmless The sentimental
damage done by it may be cruel. The
distinction between Irritation and Sc

as the game goes on. or it may never
have been recognized as mere sport

The mine mule knows a thing or two
quite as we'll as does the army mule.
In one of the mines in the Pittaburg
district an ever-patient mule proved
himself possessed of an almost human
sense. of coming danger. A chamber
had been closed on account of gas,
and the men were thinking of what
that might mean, when suddenly there
came a clatter of hoOfs, and mule
appeared-its long ears quivering, and
it's intelligent eyes full of terror.

Iessly entrapped were recovered, an
other was tenderly carried out with
theirs-that of the little gray mule that

Lavender to scent the cream was

ARTISTIC JEwELRY A FAD.
Chicago Tribune.)

New York, June 13.-Shorter boas of
pompadour silk and lace, with quanti-
ties of tiny tulle knots to let off the
whole, are also to be counted among
the happiest innovations for the neck.
Embroidered silks are also used for
! snort empire capeS, with quantities of
frills and furbelows in chiffon or NOUS
seine de sole. AS a matter of fact, the
greatest license is allowed in the choice
of these attractive additions to the toll
let, which enhance the appearance of
the plainest costume.
The artistic jewelry is gradually be-
coming more popular with women, who
are firing of the scintilllations of the
precious stones. The new lecklace, con-
sisting of exquisite transparent flowers
in enamel, caught by little gold chains,
are particularly attractive, and have a
softer effect than the more costly gems.
Sometimes a pendant is attached to
such chains, which adds to their effect.
Then there are charming brooches in
the new art, which are quite effective.
and, unlike the first specimens of the
'Secesssionists," as Lalique's followers
are called, they are moderate, even
modest, IN size, without that exagger-
ated touch of eccentricity which dis
couraged many would-be admirers of
the new school of art. Landscape art,
sea scenes and other what might be
called pictures, are being used as de-
signs for brooches intended as Orna-
ments for evening dress. Wave effects,
Shimmering in the moonlight, carried
out by means of diamond dust, that of
the real stones, are among the most eff
fective designs, while the peacock, ia
booed as unlucky, has come into favor
and series of peacoc k brooches are
often used upon certain evening gowns.
Another novelty is the neck collar in
floral design, usually an iris. The sides
of the former are formed by two cor
responding flowers which are connect
ed by accompanying leaves which Grasp

Jet is exceedingly popular, dog collars
of jet now replacing pearls and giving
the neck a snowy white effect. Tiny
jet beads strung together and in turn
wound into ropes are used as bandeauX
for the hair or tied into bows for the
same purpose. A smart white satin
tuft is often added to the jet bow and
the contrast is particularly happy.
Jeweled flowers now replace the silk
artificial flowers, with which the best
dressmakers were wont to adorn
gowns. The finest lace, like threads of
gold and silver, form the flowers and
are inlaid with gems of all kinds Moth

and not the sparkling of the gems is

complaints. MARIE TOURS.

How to Stand Properly.

vice given to me when 1 was a girl of

her friends, and which 1 could not hope
to better or even to achieve. All that

The Little House I Dreamed Of.

Where the shadows gather across the

Does the light still niger around its caves,

AS when first we knew ito, heart of

The little house I dreamt of-the rooms
were full of laughter,
Dear, do you remember the merry tales
we told?
Songs that brought an echo twittering
from the rafter,
Where the swallows nested-O, heart O.
gold?
The little house I dreamt of-that lies
across the meadows,
o, heart that beats no longer, so long
grown cold,
Living in the silence there amid the
shadows
Do you still remember-O, heart O. gold?
The little house 1 dreamt of-dear vision,
mine no longer,
Passed into the darkness that wraps the
years of old,
Will it find fulfillment when, with faith
grown stronger,
We shall hail the morning-O, heart o
gold?

Shoes.

Never wear shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear a shoe or boot tight
anywhere.
Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear a shoe that viii not al
low the great toe to lie in a straight
line.
Never wear leather sole Innings to
stand upon. White cotton drilling or
linen is healthier.
Never wear a shoe with a sole mar
rover than the outline of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear shoe with the sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part of
the foot to contract.
Never have the top of the boots tight,
as it intereferes with the motion of the
calf muscles, makes one walk badly
and spoils the shape of the ankle.
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes.
Pinching and distorting make them
grow not only large, but unsightly. A
proper natural use of all the muscles
makes them compact and attractive.

HOW TO LAY CARPETS.
And Some Hints on Beating, Clean
ing and Brushing Them.

The right way to treat good carpet
is to lay it carefully on soft bedding
of thick layers of newspapers or of
brown paper. The printers ink on
newspapers is disliked by the clothes
moth, which will avoid carpets with
such Innings as place unsuitable for
the laying of its eggs. Thus thick folds
Of newspapers laid evenly will not only
provide means for using up old pa
pers, give thick underfooting for the
floor, but relieve the housewife of one
source of worry-moths in her best
carpet.
The papers should be renewed each
time the carpet is taken up, says the
Boston Traveller. 1t is best to have the
carpet cleaned and relaid by profess
sionale cleaners from any furniture

Canning Fruits without Sugar.

All fruits may be canned without SUI
gar after the following method: Fill
the jars with fruit then pour in as
much water as they will hold; adjust
the rubbers; lay the lids carefully on
top without fastening them down:
stand the jars in a wash boiler, the
bottom of which has been protected
with a rack; surround them with cold
water; put the lid on the boiler; brig
to boiling point and boil Strawberries,
blackberries, raspberries and currants
for twenty minutes; cherries for three
quarters of an hour; pineapples for
half an hour; peaches and pears for
half an hour. Strawberries and rasp-
berries are better without water. Fill
the jars with fruit, bring them to boil
ing point and when the fruit shrinks
or settles you may fill jars from a
third; put them back in the boiler:
cook for five or ten minutes longer and
then fasten on the lids. Seal the jars.
Lift the jars one at a time and screw
on the lids without lifting them. Wipe
the jars, put them into DOL place out
of the draught. Next morning give
each lid a turn and put the jars in
dark, cool place for safe keeping.

THREE WISHES.

An infant in its cradle slept,
And in its sleep il smiled
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the tair-haired child:
And each thought of the days to be
And breathed a prayer half silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care;
Its burdens oft had been to her
a heavy weight to bear
She stopped and murmured lovingly:
mot hardened hands, dear child, for
thee"
One had not known the burdened hands,
But knew the empty heart;
At lifes rich banquet she had sat,
An unfed guest, apart
'Oh, not" she whispered, tenderly,
IAN empty heart, dear child, for thee" .
And one was old; she had known care,
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no pain
His presence cannot bless,
She smiled, and murmured, truthtully;
Gods will, Coos will, dear child, Tor
thee.
