Pale rlnts to Have VOGUE.

AS one notes carefully the various
new fabrics and modes in spring dis
plays 1t becomes a noticeable fact that
the all-white fad is being pressed hard

tints now SO artistically presented in
dainty stuffs for miladi's inspection.
In the new transparent cottons. in the
pineapple cloths and the very fine ba-
tiste and linens the delicate pinks and

daintily wrought or printed, and while

1t is the collection of snake venom. a
substance, that. like radium. is valued
by the grain. A pound of 1t is said to
be worth $4,000. 1t is in active de-
mand by chemists. 1t is obtained
from three species-the death adder.
the brown adder and the tiger snake.
The reptiles must be caught unin-
jured. and 1t goes without saying that
the industry demands considerable
knowledge and skill in capture"
Tiger snakes are the best. for they

A Piece Of Mothers Cake.

That robbed her OF delight.
She kn-v her cookin' was correct.
And yet her heart would break.
To think that stiil he sighed to have

What could she do2 At last she sent
And had his mother come
And bake a cal<e-'twas fearful stunt
But she. ahi she kept num-"
He ate a piece-and died.
His wife's fond heart to break:
The doctors said twas suicide
By eatin' mothers cake.
Down where the grasses gently wave
The quiet mounds among.

or him who died so young
Go there, you husbands who complain,
And solemn warning take
From him who was sadly slain
By eatin' mothers cake.

About a clerk and a
customer,for the reader
who is willing to learn
by the experiences of
others.

The customer had a map OF the foot
of the child which was at home. The
map was two aud half by flve and a
half inches.
The clerk may have been thinking
about his coal bill when he selected a
pair OF shoes seven inches long.
What was the customer thinking
about? Probably stockings or cotton
VS.. wool.
Whenever we have a chance to In.
spect what others are doing for us we
should do so. as everybody needs a
little help at some time and minute
of forethought is worth a dozen hours
Of afterthought-at least II would have
been so In this shoe sample.
When you tell the conductor where
to let you OF try to help him do 1t as
he has many things to think on.
But In trying to help another to do
right by you do not be a nuisance. 1t
is easy to worry clerks and conductors
who are doing right Think and listen
but speak little and do not be nervous
in your manner.

thing to do, but how about how to do
it? Study how people act, the people
that clerks and conductors like, the
people that keep cool and do the right

are tempted to get nervous, but by
practice and study and observation
have acquired self-control and a clear
head. These things are worth work
