WHEN TRAVELLING ALONE.
Woman Of Experience Gives Advice
for the benefit of the I'M
initiated.

My plan for locating In a strange place
especially when 1t savors Of foreign
country, is to ask the purser or steward
which Is considered the best family ho-
tel Then, on arrival, to wait until the
first rush Of landing is over, thus avoid
ing the confusion which reigns supreme
at such times, says writer in Woman'n
Home Companion. Standing quietly
back, the excited endeavors of the crowd
to hurry all the officials into attending
to them first affords much amusement
and furnishes study of the routine Of
things When you finally do go down
the gangway you know which way to
turn, can walk up to the Carriage or ON
nibus bearing the name of the hotel, and
be driXen to the door, without any bag

Having reached the hotel, tell the porter

Care Of the shoes.

Lax in their CATERS. laxer in their
gait" is an old saying which applies
well to the modern shoe and its wearer.
No shoe viii keep in shape long unless
It is put on a tree.when out of use.
These trees" are very cheap, but most
women look upon them as an extrav-
agance. Another rule Of the carefully
shod woman is to rest her shoes for a
day or so, and always wear a different
pair indoors. Low shoes are better for
house wear. as they permit Of ventila-
tion. Select strong calfskin for a walk
ing boot, keep II well oiled. and your
pedestrian trips win be made in per
feet comfort. Keep an old pair of shoes
to wear under rubbers as the perspira-
ton which india rubber excltes ruins

re DAY OF TIE Auction.


The farmer folk come over the hill,
And up from the neighborlng vale,
To bid and bargain for. and buy.

The posters out on the countryside
Said: Everything muse go!''
But I'll have to turn my eyes away
From one poor bid, know.
One cheap little bid OF amother young
Who lives mile to the west;
She has come to bid my cradle In
For the babe upon her breast
The cradle bought for a mother-bride
And babe OF loves first dawn
Ill have to turn my eyes whenI hear
That "Going-going-goneg'
I remember how the song OF the lark
In the sky came trembling down
The morning / brought the little crib
In my wagon out from town!
The daisies courtsied along the road,
And the thrushes took a peep.
/ know they guessed that the tiny bed
Was nsst for baby's sleep!
And while the larks and the thrushes piped
In the morning diamond-dewed,
The mother sang by her downy nest,
And the baby crowed and cooed;
Till the babys fancy passed away
One night on starry CLEAN,
And the mother followed him, to hear
The end Of his little dreaml
What need Of house and cradle now?
What need of rest for me?
The silence is my only mate,
And my babe is memory!

HOW TO LOOK RICH.

door, which reads: at is not neces.

And in the studio the visitor finds
the explanation of the sign. In the
dressing-room is a fine collection of
the latest designs in hats, bonnets,
waists, fchus, opera cloaks, ball
dresses, evening robes, stage dia-
monds and paste iewelry. Here the
poorest working girl can transform
herself in five minutes into a vision
of splendor. The goods are of the.
best quality and the latest styles.
They would look well anywhere, and
In a photograph are indispensable.
According to the proprietor, the in
novation finds greatest favor among
foreigners, and after them with those

For Japanese Soldiers.

Rice and dried fish Is the uniform
food of the japanese army in cam
paigning times. This is the way in
which the rice is cooked. 1t Is boiled
until quite thick and glutinous. Next
it is placed on a ceramic slab, rolled
out, and cut into squares. The squares
are then placed in the sun to dry and
often turned. When hard as sea bis
cult and greatly reduced in weight,
they can be stored.
A certain number are allowed each
day to the soldier. All he has to do is
to break up a square in boiling water
and to add the dried fish. In a few
minutes he has what seems to him q
delicious thick soup. If he cannot pro-
cure boiling water he simply eats his
rice cake dry. In the fruit season he
substitutes fruit, when be can obtain
1t, for the fish.

Make "Pat~ Phrases.

The gift Of the Irish peasant for
making expressive and humorous
phrases is not by any means fiction
of literature. The use of "pat''
phrases is natural to him. says Illus
trated Bits.
A clerical traveller in Cavan not
long ago asked peasant how far it
was to a certain village, and was an
swered, 'Two miles,
what! Only two miles?" said the
traveller, who had before travelled the
distance and found it long road.
"Well, your reverence" answered
the peasant, sit is two miles strong
and rich, so to sphake."
A somewhat similar story is told by
one of Lord Zetland's party, who were
making inquiries into the condition Of
distressed district. They were cross
ing a lake; gale was blowing, and
waves were dashing over the boat.
The gentleman referred to had been
assured that an Irish peasant, if treat
ed well, will always agree with what
is said to him, rather than appear dis
agreeable. 1t struck the gentleman
that here was good chance to put
the assertion to proof.
"There is very little wind, Pat" he
said to one of the boatmen.
The answer came through the howl
ing elements:
every little, indade, yer honor, but
phwat there is is mighty sthrong."

Of the protecting presence of it's mas
ter. AS it lay crouching in the door
way a huge laborer came along.
Reaching down pityingly, he stroked
the wee animal, speaking a few sooth-
ing words at the same time. The re-
suit was that the fear in the dogs
heart subsided. 1t wagged its tail
knowingly and licked the kind-hearted
mans hand. When 1t was left alone
it sat up bravely, as though feeling
assured that human beings would do
it no harm.

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common
Disease Kidney Trouble Often
Fails to Be Regarded as Catarrh
by Physicians.
Catarrh of the kidneys is very COM
mon indeed. 1t is pity this fact is
not better known to the physicians as
we'll as the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get bet
ter. They never once think OF catarrh.
Kidney disease and catarrh are seldom
associated in the minds of the people,
and, alas, it is not very often associ-
ated in the minds Of the physicians.
Too Jew physicians recognize catarrh of
the kidneys. They doctor for some.
thing else. They try this remedy and
that remedy. The trouble may be ca
