A Complicated Trnnsactior.

The "grand settling of accounts" in
which Mrs. Compton and her mother
indulge at the close of day spent in
the city, shopping, is an entertainment
which Mr.. Compton never misses If he
can help 1t.
"Now, MOTHER" said Mrs. Compton.
when one of these occasions was
drawing to close, "can you give me
the 75 cents for that little pincush-
ion? Then we shall be all straight
once more"
NO." said the old lady, after an in
spectiOn Of her cash assets, IL can't
I have only co cents in change"
Mrs. Compton looked worried, and
as sometimes happened, her husband
endeavored to lend helping hand.
Your mother has a two-dollar bill
there" he said, indicating one Of the
old lady's assorted piles. "Why
doesn't she give you that, and you
give her that dollar and quarter over
there?'
William" and his wife turned an
imploring and reproachful face toward
him, don't mix us all up! That two
dollars is what 1 paid mother ten min
utes ago for my share of Cousin
Lucy's down puff. And this dollar

about four years ago I was af-

which produced severe itching irri-

such an extent that 1 was forced to

announced 1t to be skin eczemn in its

the treatment did me no good. Finally
my husband purchased set of the

"To eat man and bis childrsn," was
the reply.
Then the good spirit. knowing this
must be the work Of the bad man, or
evil spirit, told the beast that he was
going 20 change II. AT this II started
20 run away, but the good spirit caught
II by the tail, and. wrapping II around
his finger in a curl. pulled the beast
back. Then he struck Il on the snout
and, bending It's head 20 the ground,
said: "Henceforth man shall eat you
and not you man. You must dig I'm the

OF the Amazon banks attain Il length
OF fifty feet and a width Of ten or
twelve Some OF those OF the Ceylon
palm reach twenty feet in length and
sixteen In width those of the cocoanut
palm are usually about thirty feet
long, and single one Of those OF the
umbrella magnolia Of Ceylon may
shelter fifteen or twenty persons, while
specimen thirty-six feet wide has

The leaves having the greatest
