And the Cockney Fled.

had an amusing experience recently in
tie neighborhood of Rothesay. He
n ct cockney traveller who asked to
be directed to certain place. De-
ceived by the marquis accent, the Wis
itor took him for Southron, and took
occasion to make supercilious remarks
about the barbarous islanders of Butte.
He said: "Blime me, suppose you're
like me, an Englishman?" NO" re-
sponded the marquis. I'm a native Of
Butte, this island" Good gracious!"
exclaimed the Londoner. In amaze
ment. Then who In the dooce tanned
yer?" Lord Butte assumed fierce
expression, and raising a ponderous
cudgel he was carrying. said angrily:
who says I'm tanner" The alarmed
cockney turned and fed.

Pierre Lott, the French novelist,

weird and wonderful collection OF
Egyptian mummies. Ii was that of a
young princess. with gilded face, al
mOss as expressive under its mask
A. r must have been in life. This
mummy, one of the best in his col
lection, accumulated in his study the
smell that creeps from winding
sheet when a mummy is half UNI
rolled" Lofts grievance was that
his servants would not move or touch
his mummies under any circum-
stances
"Only think" he said. mot one OF
my servants would touch this beauti-
full young woman. They are so super
stitious about the dead had to car
ny her upstairs myself. And, would
you believe me, as / reached the
landing it suddenly flashed through

Noticeable among the other en-
balmed bodies of dead and gone
Egyptians in Lofts study was that
of q little three-year-old girl, who
stared down with sightless eyes on
her owner as he sat writing his ro-
mances and plays in the still watches
of the night.

On GETTING Up Early.

often hear fellows say that their
life consists solely of coming down to
business, and sleep, says a writer.
What a different tale they would tell
if they were only to get up early and
go out of doors before they need think
of businessl Even if they only rose
early once a week, that morning would
stand ahead of the other six. There
is a freshening and invigorating power
in the early morning air which only
early risers may enjoy. Ask anybody
who is accustomed to rising early
and going for ride or walk before
breakfast how much filter they feel
to face their daily toll

SOFT WHITE HANDS.

Just because a woman does her own
homework she must not feel that it is
hopeless task to try to keep her hands
soft and white, for with but little
bother she can keep her hands. in a
nice condition and the result is well
worth the extra bother
When preparing vegetables, such as
carrots, beets and radishes, wash them
with a small nail brush, which you keep
on hand for this purpose, and your
hands win have barely touched the
water and viii be free from stains.
Dish water is good for the hands, if it
is not too hot, and the dishes can be
washed just as well in warm water as
they can in hot; if they are rinsed Gas
they should be anyway in good, clear

and viii be shiny and glossy.

A LINEN GOWN.

At a fashionable Southern resort not
long ago was seen an extremely modiSh
gown of rough white linen, greatly re-
sembling the roughweave pongee. The
material was handsome and cut in the
latest jacket-suit style, with a cutaway
coat, long sleeves and miniature linen
vest, of barred white damasa The coat
was trimmed with large white buttons
on the front and the sleeves were
trimmed with small buttons in wide
braid buttonholes from the bottom of
the cuffs to the elbows. A panel effect
en- the skirt was trimmed down both
sides with small white buttons in braid
buttonholes. The waist worn with this
was a heavy white Irish lace.

GET RID OF ANTS.

There are various ways of Kidding
/ the kitchen of these annoying little
pests, and sometimes one will succeed
and sometimes another will have to be
tried Borax sprinkled around the sink
the corners of the kitchen, and on the
pantry shelves will often force thenl
to vaeate Cucumber peels placed here
and there about the kitchen and pantry
and left there all night will destroy
them, also cucumber parings are an ex-
cellent destroyer of cockroaches and
water bugs. If these methods fail put
syrup or molasses on a sponge and place
the sponge in the center Of the kitchen
floor The ants win soon discover
the sponge and will, if left undisturbed
swarm into it after the syrup or sugar.
When good many have collected pick
up the sponge and drop it into pail
of hot water. This will kill them i'm
mediately.
Often times the only way in which
one can permanently be rid of ants is
to watch where they go SO as to dis
cover their nest and destroy it with
boiling water Unless the water is
boiling hot the eggs will not be de-
stroyed
\ sure way is to mix equal parts Of
tartar emetic and sugar, moisten in
dish, and place where the ants are
troublesome. This will drive them
away

An Englishwoman coming to this
country said she had meant to examine
the women S colleges, but that she
found the women S clubs so absorbing
that she passed her time in studying
them. She was astonished, she said, to
find so little literature on the subject,
and while she knew many English
clubs, they were not the same kind at
all. The state and city federations she
thinks are great means of education
and culture for the American woman.
Especially do the clubs give opportun-
ity fer women. of middle age to keep in
touch with questions of vital import
