The appearance OF little dogs a.

The appearance OF little doss'as Oh
jects OF luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting to show that Greek and Ro
man women had pct dogs which they
idoliZed. Even men, particularly
among foreigners. were not ashamed
to walk the streets of Rome with pet
dogs under their arms. flutarch re.
lates that Julius Caesar. seeing one
day In Rome some strangers thNs load
ed with their dogs, asked them iron
ically whether the women OF their
country did not bear children. Tertia.
the daughter of Lucius Aurei!us
Paulus. was so fond of her dog thai in
the moment of bidding farewell to her
father. who was about to leave bis
country and his family to wage war
against Perseus. king Of Macedonia,
she frankly admitted that the sadness
imprinted on her face was due to the
Heath OF her pc: dog Persia.

GREATLABOR SAVER
GET PAIR OF SCISSORS FOR USE
IN KITCHEN:
Better Than Knife for Cutting Up
Vegetables or Even Meats-Eas.
lily Dispose Of Chicken Joints
and Lobster Shells.


II you want to see pair Of scissors
put to all sorts OF queer uses just
watch some young hoIsekeeper get"
ting vegetables ready for dinner or
preparing a salad. 1t IS declared that
in nine cases out of every ten things
can be cut better with the scissors
than with knife.
should the kitchen scissors appeal to
the housekeeper looking for labor-Fav-
ing>schemes. Dicing apples and celery
is matter OF only moment when
done in this way, and few green
peppers may be shipped up in less
time than it takes to tell about it.
The easiest way to dice green pep.
peers is to cut off several long slive:a
the whole length of the pepper. Hold
these firmly in one hand and with
the scissors clip through the entire
bunch. Several stalks OF asparagus
may be clipped through in the same
way.
For following out tomato previous
to stuffing. pair OF scissors enables
one to remove practically all the pulp
without breaking through the skin.
For fruit salads scissors are equally
useful, as the fine skin which sep
arates the sections of grape fruit and
oranges is easily clipped Of in this
wav.
But fruit and vegetable salads are
not the only kinds for which the
kitchen scissors may be brought into
use Cold boiled chicken and lCtsic"
are easily cut into pieces. and. surrris
ing as it may seem 10 those who
haven't tried it. chicken Joints and
lobster shells are no obstacles when
scissors are used.
The hard parts OF oysters AID Clans
are neatly removed with pair OF
scissors, and slices of cold tongue and
ham are often mich improved in aH-
pearance it, before sending to table,
they are trimmed >lto shape In the
same way.

vegetables for relocating in cream

fact any and every vegetable may
easily be shipped into pieces CT the Re
qu:red size. Doing such work with a
pair Of scissors is not only much
quicker and easier. but the saving of
ones hands is important. No woman
will believe until she tries for herself
how great a labor saver rair of
scissors may prove in her kitchen.

Binboards as Nuisances.

California reports an inspiring ad-
N in the campaign against often
sive posters, billboards and advertis-
ing boardings in the judicial decision
that such objects are %nuisances, sub
ject to abatement by the police au-
thorities under the common law, says
the New York Tribune. 1t was ar
gued that anything needlessly offensive
to the senses was a nuisance. A soap
factory or q pigsty would not be toll
Grated in close proximity to residences
because of the vile odors which would
outrage the sense of smell. A stone
crusher or a boiler factory would be-
similarly forbidden because Of the out
rage upon the sense Of hearing. But
the eyes are as precious as the NOSE.
or ears, and the sense of sight, the
most useful and valuable Of all the
senses, is as much entitled to pro
lection against outrage as any other.
So it was %contended, and it was de-
cided by the judge that posters or
billboards which grossly offended the
eye were for that reason ~nuisances
and might he suppressed as such.

Haden, a Swedish girl, also an immi-

lea. The blacksmith installed her in a
two room house nea st. Peter: For a
few years the brawny arms of Gustaf
Johnson earned a living for the wife
and the little ones who came. John

Then required an attack of the old
malady, the old disease, which in the
system of the village blacksmith de-
manded alcohol. The blacksmith be-
came a drunkard. Like many others
Of his unfortunate class, he went
from bad to worse" Finally the local
authorities placed him in the poor
house, where after some years he died.
Mrs. Johnson was left with six chill
dren to support. John was only twelve
years old, but he arose to the occa-
sion. He insisted upon quitting school
so that he might help. He got a job in
a grocery store. A g~rocer's boy has no
snap as a Job, but some Of them have
snap as individuals. John Johnson
they probably called him Johnny then
got $40 a month, which he turned
over to his mother. He found time to
deliver laundry" washed and ironed
by his mother, his splendid heroic
mother, and also to deliver papers on
the carriers route-the town paper.
After two years of this grocer's boy
life he got a job in the drug store at a
slightly higher rate of pay. From this
time on his mother quit taking in
washing. John supported the family.
In the years following three Of the
little sisters died. and John Johnson
