WOMEN WILL SHOP EARLY
FIND THAT THIS IS THE MOST
SATISFACTORY WAY.
Gives Them Wider Choice of Goods,
and Also Lessons Strain Of Store
keepers and Clerks.

Women are growing more sensible
each year.. said one of the proprie-
tors of a leading store today. They
are losing that terrible habit of pro-
crastinating. They are learning that
it is better to have done last week
what they could have put off lntil
next The result is that fully half Of
the sex feminine has done Christmas
shopping already. We keepers are
very grateful to this early buying,
and we hope that the few dilatory
ones will hurry and make up their
minds, take trip down town AMI fin
ish their purchasing before Christmas
week.
I'VE have noticed lately that every
year the holiday shopping is begun
lscdi ilcl NY uloiC pCOpiC, nHu eiiC 4 90 ui.
is that everyone is better pleased
the shopper because she can make
more satisfactory purchases and with
greater comfort, and the shopkeepers
because such methods relieve the rush
and the strain of the holidays"
From the point of view of the
clerks, early shopping is little short
of a blessing. Although the force Of
workers at most of the stores is in
creased before Christmas week sets
in, yet the increase in the purchases
made makes the holiday season a most
wearisome time for them. Their hours
are heightened with no increase of
pay, and they are compelled to work
harder during hours, and also to con-
tend with the querulous, hurrying
shoppers, who upon many occasions
are a trial and modification to the
spirit.
Another advantage of early shopping
is that there is less likelihood of pur-
chases being missent. 1t is aggra-
waiting to discover about five minutes
before certain parcel is to be sent
| to an out-of-town friend that it has
been left at the wrong address, or
that it is wandering aimlessly around
| from house to house and back to the
store again unclaimed. Sometimes,
too, it is hard to resist, SO it has been
admitted, the fascination of appropriate
ing parcel that comes to your own
home when the one ordered is lost
| To receive a diamond brooch in
stead of rhinestone buckle is UNI
doubtedly a temptation. Again it is
disconcerting to have left at your dool
feather buster when you bought I
feather boa.
i Naturally such mistakes are the ex
ceptional rather than the rule.

Why They Cheered,


DR. Whewcll, master of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was a great but I'M
popular man. When he entered the
senate house 1t was the i'll hammered
practice Of the undergraduates to be-
gin u loud and continuous whistle.
"IIow this originated do not know"
writes Dean Farrar in his book, Men
| Have known" There were two
legends about it. One was that 1t
intimate1 that the master would have
10 whistle for q blshopric; the other,
equally absurd, was that when some
one Ind asked him how to pronounce
his name he had said, You must shape
your mouth as if you were going to
WHISTLE"
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness
Of heart DR.. Wheweli|s wife died.
He had been tenderly devoted to her,
and when he attended chapel after her
death the undergraduates were touch
ed by an ''old mans anguish and a
strong mans tears"
when next he entered the senate
house." writes Dean Farrar. there
was dead silence. For the first time
for NIow not how many years not a
whistle was heard, and then moment
afterward az by spontaneous impulse
the whole crowded mass Of undergrad
yates IN the gallery burst into loud
and long continued cheer. 1t was not
astonishing that such proof of
sympathy should move the heart of
the great master or that the tears
should run down his checks. | do not
think that he was ever whistled at
again"

BROILING.

If the fire should be too hot, sprinkle
salt over it.
Birds and other things which need
to be halved should be broilcd inside
first.
Always grease the gridiron we'll and
have it hot before the meat is placed
on it.
Never put your fork in the lean part
Of meat on the gridiron, as it allows
the juice to escape.
Fish should be buttered and sprin-
killed. with flour, which will prevent the
skin from adhering to the gridiron.
Remember that a hot, clear fire is
necessary for broiling all small arti-
cles. They should be turned often to
be cooked evenly without being burned.
Cover the gridiron with a tin pan or
a baking pan. The sooner the meat is
cooked without burning the better.
The pan holds the heat and often pre-
vents Il stray line of smoke from

LAWYERS IN ENGLAND.
The Difference Between the Barrister
and the Solicitor.


The barrister in England IS the very
salt of the earth. He 1t Is who makes
the laws, who goes into parliament,
who sits on the bench, who considers
himself seven or eight degrees higher
I'D In the social scale than any other
all this he has absolutely no RESPONSE
bility toward his clients. That ancient,
much abused thing called custom in
this country has created for the law
two separate and distinct limbs, which
may be compared i'll Il measure to the
life of the bee. One is the drOne and
the other the queen. The drOne is the
solicitor, who sits u an office working
up case, consulting clients, drawing
gillS, controlling estate transactions and
controlling the incomes of people who
are unfortunate enough to be Saddled
under the trust deeds, The solicitor,
who has his own tradition to work out,
does not over get to himself any glory
whatever. Except in police and coun-
ty court cases, he is persona non grata,
or, in the words of the judges, he is
not seen" If he has Il case on hand,
he is obliged to take it to Il barrister,
who, though he may never have heard
of the matter in dispute before, dons
his wig and gown. proceeds into court
and argues till all is black and blue,
as if he knew all about it, for which he
draws most prodigiouS fee, quite big
enough to enable him to appear nicely
mounted in the row every morning
If he spoilS the ease, there is no chance
for redress, because the barrister is
merely gentleman whom fiction po
litely assumes to be a friend in need

Hawking is the oldest of all British

marvellous feature of hawking is the
manner in which the hawks them

Excnanae In Neckties.

A South Penn square business man
has evolved a plan of how to dodge
wiley, but there is merit attaching to
it in this case. His wife insists on
buying his necktics and dotes on lnven-
der and red or green spots on pale
shimmering nile green shot with pur-
pie. Rather than cause her anguish by
seeming to decry her taste in cravats,
her husband most dcceitfulGy starts for
the office every NOR ing wearing 4 tic
of her selection. Once in the office,
however, the traitor quickly exchanges
the offending necktie for something
quieter which he keeps under careful
lock and key in his own private desk
1t would be interesting to find out his
rwifes sensa tons should she pay him
visit some day in office hours or
should he forget to make the exchange
again before his trip home.-Philadel-
phia Record.

poor solicitor. There are no barristcrs
in prison, but there are a good many
solicitors who wear the broad arrow
which is the trademark of his majCsty's
prisons. The solicitor remains the old
time family adviser, to whom all sorts
of foolish people bring their trust
deeds, their stock certificates, their
government bonds and all such docu-
weak men into temptation, and that is
why so many solicitors, when they
need money, find it impossible to re-
sist the desire to take that which is
not theirs.-London Letter in Town and

FEAR OF GHOSTS.
Harmless Visitors From Whom We All
Shrink In Terror.

T16TnlIcSS tISlIoTS from WHOM we All
Shrink In Terror.
Deep down in the heart of man there
9bides firm belief in the power of the
dead to walk upon the earth and af-
fright, if such be their pleasure, the
FOULS Of the living. Wise folks, yersed
in the sciences and fortified in mind
against faith in aught that savors of
the supernatural, laugh ideas of the
kind to scOrn, yet hardly one of them
will dare to walk alone through q
graveyard in the night, or if one be
found so bold he will surely hasten his
footsteps, unable wholly to subdue the
fear of sheeted specters which may
rise from the grass grown graves or
emerge from moonlit tombs and follow
on, for, strangely enough, the dead, If
not actually hostile to the living, are
esteemed dangerous and dreadful to
encounter.
1t used to be the fashion, says a writ
er in Lippincott's Magazine, to sweep
away all such notions by saying that
they had their origin in the childhood
of the race and that they sprang from
fear of the unknown. This unuues-
tionably was the easiest way to dis
pose of them, but was it fair? The
subject possesses intense interest for a
great majority of mankind, and, though
the existence of ghosts is improved,
there is undeniably 4 vast deal of tes-
timony in their behalf that deserves
serious and respectful consideration
Fortunately, within the last few years
the attitude of science toward the
problem has altogether changed. and.
actuated by a new spirit of inquiry, the
wise men have been engaged, thought
fully and without prejudice, in study
ing it out.
While 1t cannot be said that any final
and definite conclusions have as yet
been reached, an immense amount Of
evidence has been sifted, enough to
show pretty conclusiyely for one point
that the traditional specter of the Cock
Lane school, with clanking chain and
attributes disagreeably suggestive of
the grave, has no basis in fact. On the
other hand, there are certain phantomS.
altogether different in their character
istics, in whose behalf mass of teSti-
mony is adduced far greater than
would be required to establish com
plete proof III any ordinary ease i'll 81
court Of law. Nothing short of abso-
lutte demonstration in such matter
can be satisfactory, but the evidence
in question certainly staggers mere
dulity.
Our fear of phantoms appears TO
spring from dread of the unknown.
the mysterious and the Intangible
That it is groundless terror is proved
by the fact that in many thousands of
cases Of alleged spectral appearances
subjected during the last few years tn
painStaking Investigation not 4 single
instance has been found in which an
injury was inflicted by the ghost upon
the person or persons to whom it pre-
scented itself. So that, even If we are
to accept apparitions as vcritable, we
ought to regard them with curiosity
rather than with apprehension, and in
stead of trying to avoid such supernat-
ural visitors we should eagerly seek IN
opportunity to be haunted for the sake
Of observing for ourselves phenomena
