cheese, climbed up the outside Of the

ascend the slippery tin lining. In this
way we killed great many. One morn
ing my children took cat, who was
very good ratter, and placed 1t In the
box, where there was already good
sized rat. The cat, instead Of tackling
the rat, appeared to make friends with
It. They put their noses together and

and eventually the cat jumped out. re-
fusing to tackle the rat. The children

In this territory. says the New York

PUG DRESSED LIKE A BABY
How Teddie's Mistress Managed to
Garry Him Back and Forth
on Street Cars.
This ia a real true dog story.

This Is q real true dog story.
He is a pug. and great pet OF his mis-
tress. who is very fond Of his fine pedi-
gree. One day she discovered that Ted
die could not see as well as usual. She
felt as sad as II he were brother or Sis
ter, and famous oculist was consulted,
who told her to bring her pet dog to him.
They started, but great obstacle pre-
scented itself. Conductor after conduc'
tor insisted that the dog should not ride
on his car; so 1t was only after getting
on and off about q dozen times that the
doctors Office was reached.
Teddie was as quiet as could be while
having his eyes examined, and his mis-
tress was told she must bring him every
day for a month, and all would be done
for him that was possible. So Teddie's
mistress went to a neighbor who had
small baby, and borrowed an outfit that
was not too dainty. Teddie kept very
quiet while being dressed in the long
white dress; then cloak and muslin
cap, and over the face long white veil.
Thus they started. Immediately upon
entering a car, II 1t was filled, up would
jump a man to give the lady carrying a
little baby a good seat Teddie never
wagged his little curled-up tail once,
neither did he even bark.
Each day the trip was taken with the
same result-a good seat and very
quiet baby.
One day the doctors Office was filled
with people waiting thehir turn, when a
lady turned politely TO Teddie's mistress
and said: my turn comes next, but /
will wait for you on account OF your
baby. 1t is so very tiresome to wait with
a baby"
The doctor opened his door at that mo-
ment and called them both in his pri-
yate Office. He said: 81 will show you
the very best patient l have" and took
Teddie carefully in his arms. He threw
back the white veil and disclosed the
dogs little pug nose and pert little face.
looking out cutely from under the frills
OF the cap.
Teddie can see pretty well out Of one
eye now. His mistress expected huge
bill for the experts service. but instead
she received a receipted bill from the
good doctor, with note saying that as
Teddie was the first patient he had ever
treated of royal dog blood, he esteemed
It great honor to have been the means
Of helping him.-Cincinnati Commercial

HINTS FOR pREssMAKERs.
Mime. Baker Talks About Trimmings
and Describes q Few Sep
arate Skirts.

Trimmings always interest-that H.
the kind that are made In the shop or
home. It Is not always possible to hnd
laces, braid and passementeries sulta-
BILE for certain gowns, and then 1t is that
the maker rises to the occasion and deit
fingers produce wonderful results.
Braids and ribbons now come with
thread or cord on the edges to draw up,
as they did few seasons ago, and the
prettiest little wheels and scrolls are
formed OF them, with spider webs OF SILK
and gilt threads and all sorts OF lace
stitches. Velvet bands have patterns
covered with the ribbon or braid.
The whole lower part OF the skirt may
be made In this way: First cut out ths
shape in paper; then haste on your
scrolls to nearly cover the founce.
Work together with worsted or siik
thread and then pull out the paper.
Parts Of the waist and sleeves will be-
made in the same way; borders may be
put In chiffon or net dresses; In fact,
there is no limit to the possibilities.
When ribbons were the rage before,
thousands Of yards were gathered
through the center and put in much the
same way as described; but the trim
ming now has a much better finish, az
the edges are fat and the work may be
pressed on the wrong side. Velvet
applique in with the braiding is very ef-
fective and lace insertions in wheels are
not particularly new, but work In very
we'll with little frills Of satin ribbon on
the outer edge.

Cooking Fruit in the Oven.

Many fruits are richer and better for
being cooked in the oven, instead OF
.stewed on top Of the stove. This Is es-
pecially the case with apricots, prunes
and apples, and fruit cooked in the oven
should be closely covered to prevent its
browning. II should be cooked slowly
care being taken that it does not dry
on the dish. This will not happen II II
is well covered with water ut first and
taken from the oven when the water
and sugar have boiled down to q rich
Jelly. In most cases the fruit should
be cooked about half o day. or for sew
eral hours. A stonsvare pipkin or q
heavy earthen pudding dish. covered
with q plate, Is the best thing to eeok
fruit in. Prunes. II cooked In this way,
should be sprinkied with fine shavlngs
from the yelloV rind Of an orange They
dry down" easily. and therefore should
be tightly covered and cooked slowly.
Apricots should be cooked long time.
After thu sugar Is added. take on ne
cover and let the fruit glaze . litne PM
not harden. )
