cling men connected with
the firm of Knight, Powers & Co.,
the most prosaic, unsentimental,
matter-of-f fact fellow one would
find in a months search. So
when Horace Worth, another
drummer for the same house, one
raw, chilly day in March, chanc-
ed to step into Frantz Karter's,
the florists, just in time to hear
Mr.. Mayhem say: Now, Mr.. Kar-
ter, do not fail to get the violets
off by to-day's express. Same
address as usual, you have it, I
suppose. And here, put this
card in the box; my train leaves
in fifteen minutes, or I would
stay until you got them packed,
and when Worth accidentally
saw that the card bore the in
scription: To my darling, with a
hearts best love-Laurence, to
put it mildly, he was astonished.
Hello, old fellow, said he, send
ing violets to your best girl, eh?
Yes, Thought they would sure
ly be appreciated such a dismal
day as this.
Well, you are the last man /
would ever suspect of being
guilty of falling in love; a con-

plenty of gray hairs. But they
say when man Of 40 or over

AT any rate, laughed Mayhem,

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

Sometimes the paper on tie bottom OF
a cake is difficult to remove. Warm the
cake slightly and it will peel off quite
easily.
On taking cake from the oven wrap
damp cloth round the cake-tin, and the
cake will come out without sticking in
the least.
Inputting away valuable rugs and car
pets, cover them with newspapers before
rolling up; the printers ink is preven-
tive of moth.
Do not use for cooking or drinking the
first water drawn from the pipes in the
morning; neither water that has stood in
the teakettle over night.
Equal parts of ammonia and spirits of
turpentine will remove paint from cloth
ing, although it be dry and hard. Sat-
urate it two or three times, then wash in
soapsuds.
To remove fruit stains pour boiling
water over them at once, or if dry moisten
the cloth and hold lighted match under
it, moving the match carefully until the
stain disappears.
To keep butter firm in warm weather
put it OH plate and procure lower-pot
large enough 10 cover it; wet the flower
pot thoroughly inside and out with cold
water and place over the butter; stand iI
cool place, preferably Oh stone floor.
The flower-pot should be made wet two
or three times day; in this way tile
butter will always keep firm.
Giving castor oil to children is often
serious proceeding in view OF the fuss the
little ones arc apt to make over the dose.
A French plan, which seems excellent,
is to put the oil into pan over mod
crate fire, and to break an egg into it,
stirring the mixture up. Favored with |
! little salt, the valuable but disagreeablt-
lasting oil can be swallowed with ease
and comfort to all concerned.

HICKS FORECASTS FOR APRIL
Hicks, the weather prophet, makes the
following predictions for April

HICKS, the weather prophet, makes Tile
following predictions for April
First storm period-From 1st to Sd
change to warmer, rain, followed by
cooler weather.
Second Storm Period-From 9th to
18th thunder storms will prevail, with
dangerous squalls and tornadoes. At the
break up of this period late snow and
sleet are not improbable in northern ex-
tremes, and quite cuol weather and frosty
nights will spread far into the central, if
not into the Southern States.
Third Storm Period-Centering on the
18th and 14th will come reactions from
the anti-storm conditions which followed
the previous period. Change to warmer,
falling barometer. softer sky and cloud,
south winds and April showers will pro-
badly result from these re-actionary move
ments.
Fourth Storm Period-This period is
central on the 10Th, reaching from the
18th to 2lst. By the 10Th we'll defined
storm areas will be organized in western
parts, and as they move eastward, many
April thunder showers will visit most
States during the goth and 2lst.
Fifth Storm Period-This period is
central OH the oath and 25th. The tenn
perature will rise to summer warmth, a
high degree of humidity will be indicated
by the hydrometer, the barometer will
fail, and April showers will widen into
extermine areas of rain and thunder
storms. Moon is on the celestial equator
on the 24th, two days ahead of new moon
hence the tendency to electrical storms
about the 24th will not subside, and the
low barometer and high temperature
will, in all probability, continue up to
the 27th, when storm conditions will cul-
inmate, and high barometer and change
to much cooler will come in from the
northwest. Two or three frosty nights
are quite probable at the end of these
storms.

THE coIoREp EGG

The Easter egg and that abiquitou
little Easter hare that defies all the nat
ural laws governing mammals are vel
known to childish fancy. What chile
has not discovered on Easter morning {
whole basket of beautiful pasqne eggs and
just missed the sight of the little Easter
hare that laid them? He is almost as
familiar household parsonage as Santa
Claus. Long hours have the children
watched in the woods for him, only to
go home and find they have just missed
his visit there, and there are those beau
tiful eggs he left behind in pink, pale
blue, yellow and all the colors of the
rainbow, some of them parti-colored.
some painted with roses and some tied
with ribbons. OF late years this enter
prising little animal has gone so far as to
leave china eggs filled with bonbons, and
that he leaves them there is no more
doubt than that Santa Claus comes down
the chimney on Christmas Eve, and who
is so disloyal as to doubt that?
There are various ways of preparing
Easter eggs that give so much delight to
little ones. The most elaborately decor
ated eggs should be emptied and washed
oftheir contents before they are prepared.
This is the most economical as well as
the most satisfactory way TO do: Pierce
small hole through each end, blow ont
the contents, wash the shells and leave
them for several days to dry. Some egg
shells may be gilded, some silvered and
some painted in oils. Simple gifts such
as are suitable at Eastertime may be con-
ceded under these eggs.
Plain boilded eggs, such as are served
on the Easter breakfast table, may be
easily dyed with vegetable dyes, which
can be procured at caterers or dealers in
confectioner's supplies. 1t is not in
good taste to make these eggs eaten at
the breakfast table especially elaborate.
The elaborate eggs are those which are
supposed to be found incidentally after
breakfast, on Easter morning, and are
for the amusement OF small children. A
dish of pale green, white and yellow eggs
at enc end of the table or robins egg
blue and pale yellow and white at the
other end gives the breakfast table fes-
tive appearance. It is easy enough to
prepare few eggs in each of these colors
to obtain this effect. 1t is little diff
cult to get green in eggs. Owing to the
quantity OF lime in the shells all eggs do
not take this color as some others will,
and it is better to color eggs as simply as
possible than to use any powerful dyes.
The more ornamental eggs of which
the contents have been blown out may
be prepared weeks before Easter and
may be hidden away until the eventful
morning. These simple eggshells decor
ated in colors with roses or forget-me-nots
and each strung on fancy ribbon will |
last long time if taken care of. The
eggs of nearly all ordinary birds, from
the gigantic ostrich, whose shell is firm
enought to be set in silver, to the small.
est bantam, are represented in the shops
at Eastertime, decorated, to hold various
kinds of candies or for ornamental pur-
noses

Neither did I ut first. 1t comes
after you think about it. 1t came
to me in the middle Of the night

mind to come back. Don't you

it was you dear. I never knew

She looked into the fire with

Don't-please don't, she beg

Oh, David, David! and she told
the whole story, from the invita-

mother, my own prince. Why
David! for his smile as he looked
down on her made her under

had he not suddenly moved away,
leaving her to watch him with
wondering eyes.
He came back with a crestfall-

so that, at least, the tale should
have a proper ending-but it's
not to be found. Maybe it's in

But, Cinderella, the prince has
