A SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT.

From The London Chronicle.
Outside an old curiosity shop in East Dull
wich there hung yesterday an enormous paint
ing ''by Correggio." A document attached TO
the picture enters fully into the merits of the
great painter and assures the intending buyer
that he may hero come into possession OF a
highly speculative" bargain. Nothing is said
as to price An examination of the shop win
dow will reveal other priceless treasures sancui-
fed by the use of the crowned heads OF Eu-
rope But the chief treasure is carefully writ
ten announcement which suddenly hits the
smiling skeptic in the eye and turns his blood
into ice
Natural born idiots who come to this shop
to sheer al the relics in the window will do well
to remember that silence is golden. for they no
sooner open their mouths than their imbecility
is revealed
The unbelever, thus rebuked. turns TO gaze
with fresh interest upon Correggio's master
piece.

The Charm of Good Teeth.

There is beauty in extreme old age" sang MT. Gilbert in ''The Milxa- do,"<and no one will deny It who has gazed on the really picturesque figure of an old man or woman with bright eyes, beautiful white, teeth and cheery face framed with white hair, the whole suggesting charm which, is as distinctive in it's way as the freshness of youth Unfortunately, however, these characteristics are by no means as frequent as they ought to be, for nature makes the individual pay for every error he commits. Mo- where is the contrast between what Is and what ought to be more apparent than in the case of the mouth. How seldom do we see an old man or wom- an with good, strong, shining, white teeth? Indeed 1t may almost be said without fear of contradiction that to- day the teeth of old age are Artificial This is manifestly due to improper tment.-London Madame.

JAMS AND JELLiEs.

How They First sGot Among the
 Commonalty" In Scotland.
 Tn Galt's Annals of the Parish" the Rev. Micah Balwhidder quaintly chronicles the events of his district in Scotland about the year 1760. Tn the course of these records he says:
 II should not in my notations forget to mark new luxury that got among the commonalty at this time. By the opening of new roads and by our young men sailing to the West Indies heaps of sugar were brought home, while many among the cabbages in their yards had planted groset and ber-. " bushes, which two things happen ing together, the fashion to make jam and jelly, which hitherto had been only known in the kitchens of the gentry, came to be introduced into the vil- lage.
 "All this, however, was not without plausible pretext, for 1t was found that jelly was an excellent medicine for sore throat and jam remedy as good as London candy for a cough or cold or a shortness of breath. In the berry time there was no end to the borrowing of her brass pan, which occasioned a great fasherie to Mrs. Balwhidder-"

POISON IVY.
At May Be Known by Hts Three Leaf
 let's and White Berries.

let's and White Berries. s Frequently person is puzzled to know whether vine with which he comes in contact is poison ivy or Vir- ginia creeper. The poison ivy has three leaflets and white berries, while the creeper has five and purple berries. Z The only way to prevent a bad case of poisoning from the ivy Is to begin treatment as soon as the itching sen sation becomes apparent. If the case is allowed to continue until the pus- jules break the patient Is pretty sure to suffer for week or more. A good remedy is the extract of grindella, which if used in time by rubbing on the affected parts every five minutes will give relief. Sugar of lead salve is also standard remedy.
 If a person who has touched poison ivy will wash the exposed part thor oughiy with soap as soon after as pos sible poisoning can generally be pre- vented. The poisonous principle in the ivy is a corrosive essential oil which is very volatile. It is not necessary to touch the ivy in order to be poisoned. Passing near it may be sufficient, and when ivy is burned the smoke Is also poisonous.
 Many people are not at all sensitive to poison ivy and can handle 1t without fear, while to others a mere breath of 1t is sufficient to cause troublesome eruptiofis. Poison oak and poison ivy are the same thing. The plant has a peculiar way of changing its habit of growth according to local conditions. Pathfinder.

wantsT'' sne repeated. ITS gw1ne to see missy fore she gifts married, is.'
 The first nveried man called another and granny shooed both of them. About that time Mir. Stillman, hearing the commotion, hurried to the scene.
 .Why, it's Aunt Cellar he said.
 ''Yes, 'tis Mars Stillmanw cried the old woman CTS des came to de we'd din, an dere's leetle present out dere in de wagin fer missy"
 Policemen, detectives and buffers re- tired defeated as the lawyer ordered the door opened to the guest Celia Johnson, dat's ma name" as she de scribed herself who was a, family servant of the Stfllmans for thirty years until the brides father bought her farm over Jerseyway and built for her a comfortable house, all her own. From the farm she had emerged for the first time in several years ''jes' to bring missy a leetle present. 8 E She was ushered upstairs to Miss Stillmans room, where her reception was that of an old family friend. She watched the bride dress for the we'd ding, then wept for minute or two after the fashion of old people on joy ous marriage occasions. Just before the bride was ready, and when the guests were assembled, Aunt Celia suddenly remembered the chief pur- pose of her visit.
 De punkin!'' she cried.
 Tn accordance with her instructions couple of servants were dispatched down to the wagon, which the police man had managed to sidetrack lit tie way down the block despite the pro- tests of it's small guardian. In the rear of the vehicle, conspicuous enough, but hitherto unnoticed, were stored pump kin and az barrel of red apples, and 1t gave the servants a tussle to lug them into the house. ss

 Into the drawing room, where the marriage ceremony was performed. Aunt Celia followed close at the heels of the other guests, and her eyes never left the bride. The ceremony, how ever, was delayed long enough for the gifts of Aunt Celia to be taken in and placed in a position of honor among the costly wedding presents. A gold punch bowl had to yield it's sway to the barrel of apples.
 Diamonds and silver and wonderful ornaments. acted merely as settings for the giant golden pumpkin, and not a guest passed out of the house without taking last look at the wedding gifts,

ANIMALS ASLEEP.
The Young and the Aged Should Not
 Be Wakened NeedIessiy.


 The Young and the Aged Should Not
 Be Walkened NeedIessiy.
 That baby once sound asleep must on no account be awakened is one of the cast iron laws of physicians and nurses But few people ever stop to consider that the same rule holds good with the young of every other animal. Hardly any one, even the professed lover of domestic pets, feels the slight est compunction about snatching up a puppy curled in tempting furry tail, and sleeping kitten is even more the butt for this species of rude imposition. Sleep is regarded as luxury for lit tie plaything of this kind, whose mis- sion in life is to amuse and divert So nobody makes any bones of waking 1t up either roughly or by series of fur tive caresses, and the sleepy mite of ten tries in vain for the rest that is so essential to its comfort and health.
 Particularly is this the case where there are small children in the family. It is all very well to want to have a puppy to bring up with baby, but the puppy usually gets the worst of the bargain. Animals mature so much more rapidly than the young of the hu- man race that by the time the baby is lad of ten the puppy that grew up with him is an elderly dog. A dog of twelve is venerable, while boy of twelve is in the heyday of boisterous animal spirits and love of teasing. Aged animals. like very young animals, should be allowed their little snoozes and forty winks without risk of inter rllDtfOn ss
