gravely.

THE ASH SITTER.

Used To-day by More People than
Ever, Though Forgotten by Some.
ash sifters? Ash sifters?" a man
said to himself, as he passed along by
city hardware store in front of
which a number of sifters were dis
played Ash sifters? Why, thought
ash sifters had quite gone out of user
He remembered a time when an ash
sitter was part of the household
equipment of about every family, but
now he lived in house that was heat
ed by steam and lighted by electricity,
and for fuel he burned gas. He hadn't
bought an ounce of coal for years,
and he had forgotten there was such
a thing as an ash sitter.
Were people still buying them? He
went in and inquired.
More sold to-day than ever" said
the salesman. There are more people
in the country and it takes more ash
sifters to supply them.
But ash sifters have changed since
the day when the only kind consisted
of a shallow wooden box with a wire
screen in the bottom and long han
die stuck through the sides, by which
you shook it over the ashpile in the
yard
Improvements have been made in
ash sifters, just as in everything else,
and there are now various sorts of
sifters that are inclosed so that the
dust won't fly, as, for example, this
one here, which, as you see, is built
of galvanized iron, with a hopper at
one end and spout at the other
You put the ashes into the hopper
and turn crank, and the dust drops
through into the barrel, and the sifted
coal runs out Of the spout. Truly a
great change that from the old sitter
that you used to hold out and shake
over the ash pile.
"And plenty Of ash sifters of all
sorts are sold right here in New York,
as well as In smaller towns and the
country. You don't need one-steam
heat, electricity and gas? But another
man who lights his house with cleo
tricity and burns gas in his kitchen
range may heat his house by means Of
furnace in the cellar, in which he
burns coal, and there he installs one
of those rotary sifters in which to sift
his ashes. New YORK Sun.

Buying n Mattress.

The housewife who starts out to buy
mattresses will of course go to the
most reliable place she knows, for no
piece Of house furnishing offers such
temptations to unworthy dealers. Moth
Ing is easier than to give a hair mat
tress a coating Of superior hair while
the inside is of the worst quality,
knowing well that until the bed is
made over the fraud will not be dis
covered. Having found her honest
maker, the buyer will then be confront
ed with the question as to what quail
ity of hair she desires. The white,
she will be assured, Is the best (and
most expenslve), then comes the gray
and then best black, and black. Now,
as matter OF fact, the white hair is
not the best for wear. 1t looks very
attractive, but one does not gaze on
the interior Of ones mattresses. 1t is
softer and mats" much more quickly
than does the black or even the gray
hair. While many of us have learned
this fact from experience, we may not
all know the reason for it, which Is
that the white hair is black hair
bleached, and that the bleaching proc
ess takes much of the spring out of the
hair. The best black" hair, which
should mean all long name and tail
hair, will be found the most satisfac-
tory in the long run. Have the mat
tress neither too heavy nor too light
If the former, bedmaking becomes a
burden. If the latter, the mattress will
have to be made over very frequently.

Secret of Married Happiness.

6ECEC- VI naPpAACsss
There is no doubt that there is far
too great a tendency on the part of
women to let marriage be the end, in
stead Of only the beginning, of new
chapter in the book of personal expert
ence. A man Of As or so Is very diff
ferent being from the same man at 20.
He has very much wider outlook upon
life, different ideas, thoughts and am
billions. An ordinary woman has quite
as much intellectual ability, power of
observation, and deduction from the
facts Of life ESPECIALLY with hus-
bands more logical judgment to aid il
forming her own, and far greater
amount Of insight and intuitiye per-
ception, and there is absolutely no rea-
son why she should not grow and ex-
pand mentally as well as physically,
in the same interval of time as much
as the man, or almost as much; yet
nothing surprises one more than the
number of middle-aged matrons who
mentally, ceased growing when they
entered upon married life They have
acquired certain amount of knowl-
edge and housewifely skill, founded on
experience and practice, which they
did not possess when they married, but
practically their minds, intellects, in
terests and ideas are not more ma
ture, no deeper, no wider than were
those Of the girl of 90 or Whereabouts
who blithely embarked upon a life
long comradeship with the man she
loved Is it any wonder that in the
course Of years, with the difference be-
tween them ever widening and widen
ing, they should drift apart? There is
one universal truth which women are
far too apt to forget or ignore Cat any
rate when young -afterward, when
they have realized the truth Of this,
1t is in nine cases out of ten too late
to be of any use y, but which is the
very keynote of happiness in married
life. 1t is that comradeship is the
only foundation for happy marriage

Isn't this a curious thing, that laugh
ing may spoil Jour features? If you
laugh with the sides of your face, the
skin will work loose in time, and
wrinkles will form in exact accordance
with the kind of laugh you have. A
person who is accustomed to suppress
ing his feelings generally has a deep
line running from each side of his
nose to the upper corner of his mouth,
which, in time, extends to the chin,
forming the shape of a half-moon. The

Suicides in Our Two Great Cities

Greater New York had $40 suicides to
report last year. Chicago had 453. When
one takes into account the fact that
Greater New York has almost double the
population, that is a remarkably favor
able showing for that city.
Considering this marked difference in
proportion, it is all the more striking to
observe the similarities which appear
when the suicides are further classified.
In New York the women suicides form
ed 22.2 per cent of the entire nnrlbr.
In Chicago women were 21.S per cent of
all the suicides.
Shooting was the method used by 33
per cent of the New York suicides, and by
81 per cent of the Chicagoans. Gas was
used by % per cent in New York and
by IS per cent in Chicago. Carbolic acid
was selected by IA per cent in New
York and by II per cent in Chicago.

CHAPTER LII

1t was night and Marion's men were

the brigade moved toward Britton's
Neck at rapid pace. All were anxious

creants who had proved traitors to their

armed, but their enemies affected to re-

As they swept onward the moon and
