1t was plain that he had run away
from home. He had all the devil-may

away escapade. A kindly faced WON
an, standing OH her doorstep, tried tc
beguile him into the house, where she
could read the name on his collar and
send word to his master. She loved
dogs herself and knew what it meant
to have the family pet lost in u great

But the fox terrier pup was not tt

back into the house.
Half block further down the puppy
heard something which sounded like o
big humble bee buzzlng away up the
street. Now the puppy had been borr
and brought up in the country, and
this was his first experience of city life
He remembered that it was great fur
to bark at and chase humble bees, SC
he decided to run out and scare this biz

Out the puppy ran and sat down righ

and, besides, 1t is a common trick fol
dogs to sit in front of trolley car I'm
til it gets within a few yards and thcr
to jump out Of the way. So he did no
reverse the current, simply ringing his
big gong to scare the puppy off thu

The puppy dropped his tail and hl'

LITTLE MISS SNOW, sp!NsTEa.

Little Miss Snow is on the trot
From end to end Of the village street.
Whenever you open the blind you meet
Her sunny face and her smile SO sweet.
| wonder if she is here to stay,
To visit the sick and poor Away?
A beaded bag bangles down beside
The trim little figure trotting along.
! wonder if it's unwise or wrong,
To ask-did she ever hear lovers song?
Perhaps-but then it was long ago;
For now she is just our little Miss
Snow.
Every door is open to her,
She with her step so short and quick,
She with her shoes that clickety-click
Along the walk for the poor and sick,
She with her way so soft and mild,
Soothing the grown folk and the child.
Under her little gray cloak is hid
A heart that's tender and good and true;
Under the peak Of her hood Of blue
A pair of clear eyes look out at you.
And she smiles when passing, whenever
YOU find
Her face when you look beyond the
blind.
The tap of her fingers is soft and low
When she comes to the door where sicl
folks are.
She never brings bother, or fret, or jar
Nothing to hurt and nothing to mar
Only quiet, comfort, release
From brooding pain-and her medi
cine's peace.
Many day and many year
Out Of the shadow she comes to delight,
Out Of her cot that is cosy and white,
Out of her gate in the dead Of the night,
Out of her garden Of roses to bring
A smile to drive away sorrow and sting
Little Miss Snow, our spinster sweet,
Tender and good and true-and great!
Open her door and wide her gate,
Ever on hand, early or late.
You scatter sunshine wherever you go,
Dear little spinster, little Miss Snow!

Easy Way of " ashing.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I used a
washing machine for years, but now
follow what I find is an easier and
better way of washing. I soak every
thing, except hannels and colored
clothes, over night, or, when that is
not convenient, soak for awhile in
cold water in the morning. Heat
sufficient water, in the boiler, to boil
the clothes without crowding, having
sliced therein one third of a cake
of sbap. When it reaches the scald-
ing point, stir in two tablespoonful
of kerosene, and put in the finest and
whitest pieces, soaping wristbands.
etc. Punch the clothes down fire.
quently, and boil Is minutes. Take
out in a tub and slightly rub pieces
that are most soiled. For the next
batch slice about one-sixth of re-
mainder of the soap, and add one
tablespoonful of kerosene. Then put
in the remainder of the clothes. IF
the washing is so large that there
must still be another batch, proceed
as with the second lot. When all are
out, take boiler from fire, and put
in colored shirts, calicos, ETC.. which
have been wet in water in which the
white clothes we're soaked. I wash
the colored clothes after the white
ones, in same water, and unless they
are very dirty, or the number of
pieces is large, that one water suf-
fees. For bluing I use the best
and made as follows: To n quart
of soft water. add one ounce of
Chinese or Prussian blue; and one
ounce o~xalic- acid. One or two
teaspoonfuls are sufficient for a tub
of water. Washed in this way the
clothes have a white, clear appear
ance, and last at least a third longer
than when washed by the old method.

Hygiene of the Hair.

In order to give to your hair the
>hygienic care which it demands it is
necessary, ladies, that o should
know:
First, that the scalp dislikes damp
ness, which soaks it, and is hurtful
to it's vitality.
Second. that the scalp requires
constant airing, to assist the evapo-
ration of perspiration and other Sc
cretions of the skin, which have as
injurious an effect upon it as damp
ness.
Third, that both the scalp and the
hair dislike violent twisting and pull
ing, which put their strength and
solidity to a hard test.
These three fundamental princi-
Piles being known, they should be re-
membered and applied in the best
way, and as frequently as possible.

ION.

Women are more likely to condemn
than men. Women judge too hastily
by outward appearances, by clothes.
conversation, manners and all that
sort of thing. We acknowledge that
manners mean a lot; so do clothes
so does ones dignity and bearing, but
there are people who seem never to
acquire these very valuable frills of
life, and yet they are not unworthy
of friendship, sympathy and afec-
tions, because of their shortcomings.
You don't hate a man because he
limps or because he is near-sighted,
or because his hair wont stay intact
upon the top of his head. Why should
you hate him because his thoughts
are not in style? Or because his way
of living differs from yours, Or his
manners of speech, his religion, or
his opinions and life generally?
