confessed fondness for them-I was
so happy. Well, yesterday l dropped
in at Alice's. l found her in the
library; she seemed nervous and /
stayed to find the reason"
And did"
She asked If / did not consider a
set of Thackeray the incest Christmas
gift man could make to girl--a girl
he liked very much? replied, Yes
If the girl had saffron hair and eyes
which were located at right angles!'"
And She"
She replied, oh, she was in earn
est; she knew man who meant to
give a lucky girl just such set. Phen
she intimated that he intended to hint
his hope that the set would soon be
housed under his own roof"
But who"
81 said, yes, the girl was lucky if
she had a genius for martyrdom; that
the man who would make a girl such
gift would be the man who would
expect his wife to prefer a subscrip-
tion to a magazine to new tailor
made frock and an addition to the
library to a trip to Palm Beach,"
Good! I'm glad you said"
I'm not myself, dear. Rob was in
the next room and heard every word
Alice had helped him to select a
Christmas gift for me, and when
came in she told him to wait while
she met me in the library, so he could
hear my cries of delight when heard
of the selection! Did you ever know
such an unmitigated cat!"
Gracious-never!" cried the girl in
brown. 81 didn't tell you, did l, that
the gift which so delighted Alice was
a set of Thackeray? Rob was there
and Alice's mother stopped me in the
hall, as l went ont, to ask the ad-
dress of the dressmaker who made
Mabel's trousseau."

You are not looking very jolly on
Christmas day." observed the girl in
brown. Were your gifts chiefly hair
receivers and silver thimbles, or were
they so expensive that you are wonder
ing how you can ever return them next
year?"
"N-not exactly" replied the girl in
green. 4"
"Oh, you should see Alice" broke in
the girl in brown; "She looks as happy
as the girl who has got rid of the coat
of tan she cultivated at the seashore
last summer. She"
81 don't know whether or not she
received many presents, but she has
one which seems to make her perfect
ly happy. 1t is"
Il am sorry to hear it. If that girl
got her deserts she would spend the
holidays with the dentist. She-well,
you know have seen q good deal of
Alice lately. You know we just had
to be intimate, since Rob was dividing
his attentions pretty equally between
u.s."
"M'h'm; otherwise people might
fancy you were jealous of each other"
Jealous of Alice, the idea! How
ever, had to watch her. You never
know what a girl with her sanity ex-

"But how do you manage to keep up

Rob prefers a conversation in which
the other party is listener, dear. OF
course l told him when we first met

How to Become an Artist.

Holman Hunt began his art laborS when at the age of four he cut off lock of his own hair to make a paint brush 1t Is rather serious matter for the young artist rightly to choose some picturesque and as far as possi- ble inadequate means of beginning his career We all know the story of Ben 1amin West and the cats tail. Aliston being ] coioriSt, is supposed to have squeezed the luscious hueS from flow CTS to make his paints. As there are probably many young artists conte;n- plating career, why not suggest a few new ways Of beginning?
 Make d brush from peppers shaving
 hsh, from mummer's hairbrush, from
 ele'S chin whiokerS, from auntie's
 )se front
 No doubt the reason there are few
 hat artists nowadays IS that it is s) hard to avoid ready made paint brushes. They are thrust upon children in the public schools How can we hope for a Benjamin West with brushes drug on the market?-Philip l.. Hale ia Bo5- ton Herald.

He Couldn't Flow.

A certain incident connected with the great Napoleon while he was in ex, He in Elba is commemorated in the is. land to this hour by an inscription af- fixed to the wall of peasants house.
 A man named Giaconi was blowing when the famous exile came along one day and expressed an interest in his work. Napoleon even took the blow share out of the mans hand and at tempted to guide it himself. But the oxen refused to obey him, overturned the blow and spoiled the furrow.
 The inscription runs thus: Napoleon the Great, passing by this place in MDCCCXIV, took in the neghborine field a plowshare from the hands of a peasant and himself tried to blow, but the oxen, rebellious to those hands which yet had guided Europe, headloEg fled from the furrow."

Along the center 0; the palate runs strong ridge, and ON each side of this there is wide de pression along which the plates are in- serted. These are long and flat, hang. ing free, and are placed across the mouth with their sides parallel and near each other. The base and outer edge of the plates are of solid whale bone, but the inner edges are fringed, filling up the interior of the mouth and acting as strainer for the food, which consists of the small swimming mol lusks and medusae or jellyf1sh

happy elucidation Of the Horse Creek
water development scheme. as he gave it
to the Board Of Trade meeting Tuesday
night. were greatly entertained with his
reference to the amount Of "oratory" in
volved in the undertaking. In those lat
ter days when the wind and water is get
ting squeezed out Of SO many inflated
stock jobbing schemes it is to be hoped
that the Horse Creek project has some
water in it. and is not all "oratory."
