a STIR for she has much originality in
this respect. Many persons confound
her with Amelie Rives who was mar

The ranks of the National Union of
Women Workers of Great Britain are
divided over the question OF barmaids.
The Glasgow magistrates having re-
affirmed their determination to make
the unemployment of women a con-
dition of granting licenses, a commit
tee of the women workers petitioned
the London magistrate to consider the
advisability of taking similar action.
This brought to light the fact that the
women workers of Edinburgh and Liv-

such step. and Lady Frances Balfour,
in a long letter to the press, sharply
criticised the action of tbs committee.

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.

A great many hOuSekeeperS are care
less about airing bedding. No bed that
is not regularly aired is fit to sleep in.
Those who have frequently expert
enced the hospitality of hotels knOE
how often the sheets of the bed are
damp. When thu is the case the safest
way is to take them off and hang them
on chairs before a fire or register 1t
is not safe to have beds made up in
rooms that are not occupied. There is
always some dampneSS, especially in
winter, about rooms that are not aired,
and this settles upon the bed and other
articles in the room. The best way is
TO keep a single sheet and counter
pane. With fancy sham pillows, on the
beds when not in use. Before 3 room
is to be occupied air it by opening the
windows and turning on the heat, or
light fire in the fireplace, if there is
one. Wipe off the furniture and put
everything in order. Meantime let the
bed air, after taking off the counter
pane, sheet and fancy pillow cases.
Dry these, but put them away for use
when the room is not occupied. Make
the bed with fresh sheets and blank cts,
and other bed linen, which has been
aired before a fire for at least two
hours after taking it out of the linen
closet or wherever the bedding is kept
There are great many people who do
not know that it is dangerous to take
sheets and pillow cases out of a drawer
or off q shelf and use them without
airing them. All muslin or linen gath

The TabIes Turned,

There were two things that made all
the trouble. First, little Bill wanted
to be hunter and had asked his
father for real Flobert rifle,
and his father had made a
great mistake and bought 1t.
Oh! how Bill loved that gun. He
blew down the barrel and snapped the
trigger and "shouldered arms" and
made great boasts of all the rabbits
he would kill next day. and then at
last he went to sleep with the gun un-
der his pillow. The other thing was
that Bill had eaten too much mince
pie at dinner. Suddenly he found him
self at the edge of a dark wood. Bill
shivered and felt lonely-wished he
hadn't come. But there in front of
him was a sure.enough track-it was
a rabbit track. Bill was certain of
this. Now he would use that much
loved gun. He crept slowly on, follow
ing the tracks. His hand trembled; ;
he was just little scared. Brace
up, Bill" he said; you're a bold hunt
er-don't forget" But just as he
spoke there was whirring sound; he
felt his feet fly out from under him !;
he felt himself pulled hard by one leg.
The world seemed to be turning up
side down. His knife and marbles
we're falling out of his pockets. He
was hanging head down with his leg
caught in moose and his gun lay on
the ground.
Just then a great Jack Rabbit, who
looked to Bill as big as bear with
staring eyes and wicked grin came
toward him. What was he carrying ?
The precious gun. Bill struggled and
kicked and tried to cry out.
How does it feel when you try it
yourself?" said the Rabbit.
Try wh-wh.a-a-t?" shivered Bill.
TRY being hunted and trapped and
hung by the leg" grinned the Rabbit.

he fired-Bang!.

Standing Rewards for Capture of Ban
dts Seldom Paid by Government

Brigands are constantly giving
trouble to the Italian government.
which seems rather strange In view of
the fact that rewards are assured
to any persons who wage a successful
war against these law-breakers. Ac-
cording to an edict which dates back
to the time when the Pope was all
powerful in Italy, and which is still
in force. anyone who captures brl-
gand alive and who hands him over
to justice is entitled to a reward of
5000; anyone who kills a brigand will
receive a reward of $500; anyone who
captures brigand chief will get
$1,000, and any brigand who betrays
an accomplice will be pardoned for his
past crimes and will receive 500 as
an additional reward. This last re-
ward has seldom been paid, since
Italian brigands are not accustomed
to betray each other.
