SALT AND SUGAR Rags.

MIR. Brown Learns Something Abou-
Their Household Uses.
"Say, mother" said Letitia Brown
I'VE won't have any more salt bags
will we?"
mo more salt bagsT" said Mr.
Brown to himself, having by chance
overheard Letitia's remark. 1t tool
but little questioning to bring out In
formation on these points, and Incl
dentally there was elected other bas
information, which, to Mr.. Brown, was
even more interesting.
Salt bags, it seems, are, In MANY
households, when empty, washed out
and used as dish cloths. But the
Brown family has given up housekeep-
ing and gone to boarding; it retains
Its apartment, just the same, but takes
its meals In neighboring good board.

be buying any more salt.
Then Mrs. Brown said that any.
how, they hadn't been using salt bags
for some time, because lately. while
salt is still put up In bags, they had
been buying salt put up in wooden
or in pasteboard boxes. They'd been
making their dish cloths lately, she
said, out Of sugar bags. Sugar. It
appears, once never so put up, is now
quite commonly sold In bags
Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned an
other use of salt bags that was new
even to Letitia, who knew something
about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that
once they had a servant who used to
take the salt bags when they were
emptied and open them out and wash
the marks out Of them, and then for
economy's sake have them for hand
kerchiefs for her little brother.
And yet there remained the fact.
mildly bewailed by Letitia, that there
would be mo more salt bags" for dish
cloths. Here Mr.. Brown wanted to
say to Lefty, "Well, what of it? Not
housekeeping any more, we shan't have
any dishes to wash and we shan't want
any dish cloths, salt ba or sugar
bag" But he didn't say these things,
for he didn't want to hurt Letitia's
feelings by showing her how little she
looked ahead, nor did he want to make
her feel worse by showing her how
much more logical his mind. He said
nothing, but just kept these things to
himself, but not without his usual mod
est consciousness of superiority

There arrived In London last even
ing an aged man named Mark All who
has been wandering for the last six
years.
/ Mark All Is an engineer by trade
and he set out from Fleet street on
Aug. 6. 1900, with the object of walk
Ing 10000 miles In seven years. The
idea Of the enterprise was to disprove
theory, which All attributes to engi-
neering employers, that after a man
has reached 45 years of age he is use
less for manual labor.
Some gentlemen who were desirous
Of disproying this theory agreed to
pay All f500 If he could walk 10000
miles In seven years, earning his liv-
ing at his trade. and that he shall
not beg, sell photographs of himself or
pictures post cards, make speeches or
exhibit himself at music halls. All
these conditions, he says, he has faith
fully observed. He has been all over
the three kingdoms and has visited
France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland, Italy and Germany, but failed
to get into Russia. His record now is
5S.006 miles.
He proposes to take weeks rest In
London, then walk to New Haven and
cross to Dieppe, where he will resume
his pedestrian exercises through
France. Throughout his travels Mark
