Windows That Catch Buyers.

Picnic. camp scenes are always in
order as window exhibits during pic
mic weather. The great point to be
borne in mind in making such exhib-
it's is that the appeal is made not
only to picnickers but the general
public, the camp scene merely afford
ing an opportunity for the exhibition
of certain food products in a way to
create an appetite for the goods and
a desire to buy. We always prefer
the exhibit that holds the. buying
stimulus. The window display that
amazes, startles or charms the spec
tator, without making him say,
That looks tempting! I'd like to
have some right nowi" is a display
that we have little use for. 1t has
Its uses, no doubt, but we know of
better exhibits. AS every week in
the year ought to be made an "eat-
ing week" for the grocer. so also
should every exhibit il the window
be a make-you-buy eXhibit.-The

A Nibblcr'.

A nibbler is a man who entufs the
grocery store, runs his fingers into a
sugar barrel and laps up a couple or
ounces; eats a handful of nuts, then
goes over to the cheese case and cuts
off a slice for a taste; then, as a mat
ter of course, must have a few crack
ers, and perhaps before he has his
mind made up TO purchase twenty
five cents worth Of somethi he
has eaten the profits on 50 wol n of
groceries. To end it all up, after
getting trusted for the purchase on
which the merchant realizes a profit
of perhaps five cents, he leaves the
store munching a couple Of apples;
and maybe the collection of small
debts costs the merchant almost or
quite its full yaiue. Did you ~ see
an illustration of this?--Dallas Re-
tail Merchant.

satisfied young explorer who might
be by her side vii en- the young sailor
appeared.
At balls, Charlie Mistley, who was
nothing if not methodical, danced
three times with Lena, and took Mrs.
Wright down to supper. Then he
rescued his mother, and went
straight home to Bedford place be-
hiud a very small cigar, which form
of tobacco appears so much affected
by big men, as large pipes are by
their smaller brethren.
Of course people talked about his
devotion to Lena, adding to it or de-
tracing from it according to the re-
quirements of their purpose, as is the
kindly custom of ALL The colonel
saw it, and shrugged his shoulders.
Mrs. Wright saw it, and understood
it not; but she watched more closely,
and. strange to say, the pleasant
friendship existing between her and
the young sailor grew in warmth Of
mutual trust. L%aurance Lowe saw
it, and grew uneasy.
1t would appear, however, that
Lena and her large friend knew very
well what they were about. At that
time she needed some one, and the
sailor seemed to slip naturally into
the vacant place. They neve over
stepped the boundaries of friendship.

Large Trumpet Gourd.

". F. Brown, $50 Goyeau street,
Windsor, has a trumpet gourd which
he says is the largest ever seen in
this part Of Canada. The vine, which
was planted about the last of May, is
now fifteen feet tall and the gourd it
self is six feet one inch in length. 1t
is # the long narrow variety grown
in California or tropical regions. The
plant also bears two smaller gourds,
one three feet eight inches and the
other four feet nine inches long. MI.
Brown has always had phenomenal
success in the raising of plants, says
the Detroit News, apd his good luck
is due to a process known only to
himself and his wife. The gourd seed
was planted by a number of families
about the same time, but MI.
Browns IA the only plant which
grew to anything more than ordinary
size.

Pie Paste.

For family use. where crust foi
pies is not desired to be overly rich:
a half pound of lard to a quart OF
-four does very we'll. Butter should
be either perfectly fresh and sweet
or it should be well kneaded unde:
cold water, changing the water sew
eral times, and drying as much az
possible with a soft cloth. Tins are
better for most pies, as earthen plates
do not always allow the bottom crusts
to get perfectly done. For puff
paste, equal weights of butter and
-four is the most that can be used,
and three-fourths pound Of butter to
a pound Of flour is the best that can
be used with good results. Puff
paste is. made by wetting the -four
with enough ice water to make it
as near as possible Of the same con-
sistency as the butter (which should
be cold) then flour the dough well,
roll into a thin sheet; flour the butter
and roll that into a thin sheet to
nearly cover the sheet Of dough;
place the sheet of butter or the sheet
Of dough, sprinkle with flour. turn
the part Of the dough not covered
with the butter over the butter, and
fold the part covered with the butter
over this, and roll out again. Dust
with -four, fold and roll out four
times more, and it will be ready for
use. A little practice will make all
plain.-The Commoner.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Continued.

Suddenly a sense of chilliness as
sailed him. Mechanically he touched
the PROSTATE mans brow.
Good God. He is dead"
Then he rose painfully to his feet.
The silence Of that great waste OF
desert was almost unbearable. Five
men out of six would have gone mad
in those first moments of realization.
VINEYARD Mistley pressed his forehead
with his hands, now cold and damp.
His stern eyes slowly scanned the
horizon-it was almost dark. In the
sky. away to the east, was a shade
of pearly yellow. This was the soft
promise of the moor yet below the
horizon. Mechanically the solitary
man turned toward it. Presently on
the hard black line of the horizon
there appeared a fanlike glow of
shirmering yellow, narrowing into
silver rays; then a tiny spark of light
ever broadening. With a flood of
glory the great globe slowly mounted,
till it's lower edge parted with the
line of distant desert.
The scene was too majestic, too
awful, and too lovely for words.
Suddenly his gaze remained rivet-
ed on one spot to the west of him.
What is that?" he mumbled, stu
pidly. What is that"
Slowly, like a stricken tree, he
collapsed, falling forward on his face,
with his arms stretched across the
dead body Of Paul Maritch.
For an hour he lay thus. At last
he recovered consciousness and
awoke, as he had yer done from
sleep, with every sense on the alert.
First he stood up and gazed fixed
~ to the west, along the white track
of moonlight which extended to the
very edge of the horizon; then he
balanced himself Oh the dead body
of the horse, and so increased his
spread of vision. Across the broad
line of light cast by the moon on the
sand was a tiny silver streak.
Eyes, that is the ~river!!" said Mist
ley. "My luck has not forsaken me,
and his bad fortune has followed him
to the very end!"
Mechanically VINEYARD Mistley
scooped out a shallow grave, and
gently laid therein the remains of
his desperate companion before he
left the spot.
The peaceful moon looked down
that night on the grim desert, and
saw n of the finest and wholesom-
est sights to be seen on earth; ay,
finer and wholesome than the fairest
woman ever seen. That sight was a
brave man fighting doggedly, quietly,
and Willingly against odds so dispro-
portionate as to render one skeptical
regarding all things providential.

Feat in

In the erection Of the House OF
Representatives office building, ad'
jacent to the United States Capitol
at Washington, an interesting fact
has developed in connection with the
brick masonry work. The i"ne brick
was laid at the site on the afternoon
Of July 5, 1905, and on July 3, 1906,
there had been laid in the walls H.
600, 900 brick. This is believed to be
the greatest number of brick laid or
any building in one year in the
United States, and probably In the
world. One of the causes conducting
to this record-breaking feat was the
remarkably open winter Of 1905.
'O6. In those winter months the
work continued almost without in.
terruption from either snow or cold.
and not more than twelve or fifteen
days were lost during the entire win.
ter by reason of weather conditions.

PILOT DIE OF SNAKE BITE.
Record of a Single Year in India
Wild Beasts Kill 2O54.

The number of persons killed in
India in 1905 by wild beasts was
1854, as against 2157 in the previous
a and the number OF deaths re-
ported from snake bite (21,797) Is
also a little smaller than that of 1904.
A feature of the 1905 returns is
the increase in the number of deaths,
both of human beings and cattle, at
tributed to leopards. 1t is suggested
by a writer in Baily's Magazine that
these beasts seek their prey more
readily than they used to do in the
oeighborhood of villages. The fact
that more licenses to possess firearms
we're held in 1905 than in the pre-
yious year may be noticed, but 1t has
long been recognized that it is i'm
possible to discover any relation be-
tween the number Of firearms in ma
tive hands and the number Of deaths
from wild beasts.
During 1905 more dangerous wild
beasts were killed than in 1904. The
official figures are. Tigers. 1855;
leopards, 4S11; bears, 2236; wolves,
2016, and hyenas, 554. Well known
%pan-eating tigers were killed in sew
sral districts. A regular crusade
against wolves has been carried on In
parts of the Central Provinces, where
these brutes are most numerous and
most troublesome.
To the success Of the campaign no
doubt may be attributed the great
decrease in the number Of persons
killed by wolves-in 1904, 244; In
1905, only 1853. Before diminishing
his subject it is worth noting that
the Bengal Government in September
.ast offered a special reward Of Rs.
200 for a man-eating tiger which
killed seven persons last year in Coil
5era Forest, Singbhum district. The
ordinary reward for a tiger is Rs. 40.

Avoiding the Commonplace.

"A young reporter was given an
assignment to write the obituary Of
a prominent Western pioneer. He
wrote as follows:
"Citizens of this State will be very
much grieved to learn that Uncle JOS.
eph Hawley has been gathered to HE
fathers. He had been confined to his
bed for three months with a serious
ailment, and while hope was enter.
tanned that he would recover, his
death was not altogether unexpected
THUS is another w%ell-known pic.
neer the victim of the grim reaper.
and another sturdy spirit has crossed
the range"
The city editor demonstrated, with
more than ordinary patience, you
better write this over again, my boy"
he said. Don't use so many old ex.
pressions. Try to keep everything
new and up to date. Don't use so
I, many hackneyed phrases. Original.
ity is what we went"
The young reporter seized upon his
task with avidity. Presently he ap-
preached the city editors desk, and
breathlessly laid his second effort
upon it. This is what he had written:
Everybody will shed tears when
they hear that Josh Hawley has
Joined his ancestors. He has been
about all in for nearly three months,
and while a good many people kept
kidding themselves with the idea that
he would get well, it was a cinch
he had to go.
"Thus is another Of the old boys
moved down. and another soul has
bored a tunnel through the great d.
vide."-Puck.

Brides Who Stay at Home.

According to old and established
custom in Japan, the eldest child.
whether male or female, must, under
all circumstances, abide at and in.
herit the home. BY this means a cor.
tinuous succession is assured, and the
estates cannot pass into the hands OF
strangers.
From this arrangement it follows
of necessity that no eldest child can
marry and live with an eldest child
of the opposite sex. When an heiress
weds her husband must assume the
family name.
A similar custom prevails in GER
tain families among the people Of the
Basque Provinces, in the north OF
Spain, An eldest son among them
is not allowed to marry an eldest
daughter, if both are first born.
In this case, too, the husband OF
any eldest daughter takes up his resi-
dence under his wife's roof and
adopts her name, which is thus trans
mitted to their children.
