In the case on trial. McTavlsh was

The case was going against Nc

which was about to be introduced in

Great, But Absent-Minded,

It is not disgrace, even for a fam
Gus man, to lose an umbrella, so the
New York Times tells with evident
delight OF a celebrated lawyer who
darted into a furnishing goods store
On a recent rainy Friday, purchased
an umbrella, and carried it as far as
the door.
There he stopped to make a note in
a memorandum book. He left the
umbrella leaning against the wall
while he wrote, and when he finished
the writing he started out without a
thought of the umbrella.
Within a minute he rushed into the
other door of the same shop. He
wanted to buy an umbrella.
'I thought l had one with me when
I left nome" be said, in a semi-apolo:
getic way, "but l guess I must have
forgotten to take it."
A second salesman sold him an
other umbrella. AS he started to
carry it from the shop, the first sales
man confronted him
"You left your umbrella, sir" the
clerk said, as he held up the original
purchase.
"Bless me, so I did," cried the law
yer, "and l suppose | was going off
| with some other man's!"
He pushed the second purchase
into the hands of the. surprised clerk,
seized the first one, and dashed into
the storm again with his umbrella
under his arm.

The Ignorant LanGsman.

Capt. Kaempf, Of the Deutschland
was entertaining a little group OF
passengers with sea stories.
"Why is it," said Capt. Kaempf,
that landsmen are SO ignorant Of the
sea? Seaman are not ignorant CT the
land. It is only, in fact, through
knowing the land well enough to avoid
it, that seamen keep their ships afoat,
"But landsmen's ignorance Of the
seat is deplorable."
"In Bremen, nj day, I saw a farm
err looking at the shipping in the har-
Dor. A 'longshoreman was explaining
the shipping to him. Finally l heard
the 'longshoreman say:
est is low water, now, sir
"The farmer took his pipe out of
his mouth and pointed it solemnly
toward a heavily-laden tramp steamer
that was passing.
"Tt's a good thing for that vessel
going past that it is low water he
said. The waters near over the edge

We used to suds the clothes after
they were taken from the boiler. rinse
them through two waters anu put
them into a tub of slightly blued
water which completely covered them
until such a time as they could be
hung out in stormy weather. Then
there is another way for those who
prefer not to let the clothing lie IN
water. Proceed as before excepting
that when you come to the blue
water, wiring the clothes quite dry;
shake cut well and fold and roll into
as small a roll as possible. Place
them in a tub which has been rinsed
and wiped until thoroughly dry. Put
the white pieces in one tub and the
colored pieces in another. Cove
them with wet towels or Old pieces

The reason the towels or pieces OF

BLANKETS ARE PREFERABLE.

Blankets are always preferable to
quilts and comfortables, excepting
those of soft down. Blankets, OF
cougse, can be washed, but frail
women find them heavier and not so
warm as down comfortables. All au-
thorities, however, agree in condemn
ing that favorito of past days, the
crazy quilt" and most of the other
~old-fashiOned quilts. Although blan-
kets are undoubtedly better than or
binary comfortables, a large number
of housekeepers feel that their means
will not permit them to use blankets
exclusively, and therefore they add
to their bedding comfortables, which
are cheap and warm. Certainly some

A GOOD WAITRESS.

The of holding anything for
people to help themselves is n
mark of a good waitress. Without
awkwardness she holds everything
low enough for people to help them
selves without reaching, near enough
to avoid splitting and perfectly steady
while waiting for them to take what
ever they desire.
No matter how inattentive a guest
may be, the waitress never speaks
when on duty, but the ever-Watchful
hostess essays politely to the SEEM
ingly unconscious guest. "Will you
not take" mentioning at the same
time whatever the waitress may be
holding.
In training a new maid it is a good
plan to exchange places with her a
few moments. Send her to the draw
ing room, then follow and, standing
at the door entrance, say quietly,
Madam, dinner is served" At once
return to the dining room and take
a stand at the back of the hostess
chair.
Request the maid to come and take
a seat that she may learn how to seat
anyone AS she approaches, draw
the chair down just far enough fol
her to pass in between it and the
table. AS she sits down, move the
chair gently forward under her sc
she will be seated easily without
touching it herself.
During the progress Of the dinner
whenever any, n wants more bread
the waitress should be alert to see
and supply it from the plate on the
side table. She should bring the plate
of bread with q fork to the diner:
right, and, using the fork herself, pu'
a piece of bread down on the table
cloth beside the diner.
The height of good service is where
ones wants are anticipated and thu
waitress is at once attentive and I'D
obtrusive.
