Not Infectious.

I used to be very much afraid that
my children while playing with others
would be exposed to some contagious
disease, and they were constantly on
the lookout for trouble Of this kind.
One day little Louise, aged four,
came rushing in from the street where
she had been playing with a crowd Of
children. In a very excited manner
she burst out, well, mother, two Of

How to Clean a Sweater.

If you wish to wash a sweater make
a suds of warm water, white soap and
borax. Move the sweater up and down
in the water until clean; then rinse III
warm water, adding a little borax. In
regard to drying, always tie the article
(all in a bunch) in a towel or cloth,
knotting the four corners; then pin i,
to a line out Of doors, where the wind
will blow through it. The towel should
be opened from time to time and the
article shaken, then replaced. When
fairly dry the process may be com
pleted in the house by laying, still in
a heap, over the register n any place
where 1t can get thoroughly dry. Pull
into shape during the drying, and the
garment will be found soft, fluffy and
very little shrunken.

: IT WAS A FINE COD.
ALIttIe Story Of William N. Chase, the
Portrait Painter.

A Little Story of William N. Chase, the
Portrait Painter.
Several years ago I had a studio at
Hammersmith and was hurrying into
London one morning to transact some
business. Just as I swung around a
corner occupied by a f~ishmonger's
market my eye was attracted to a
magnificent cod stretched out for ex-
hibition on a clean slab of white mar
BILE. Whatever my mood for color was
that morning, that fish completely ft-
ted and filed it. I must paint it, I de-
cided.
I called out the proprietor and told
him what I wanted. I was a bachelor,
I explained, and did not want to buy
the big fish. 1 only wished the use Of
It as a model. Could I rent it?
low, now, SIR" he said, with true
British stolidity. Hi rents my
fish. You see, it's Saturday, too, sir.
HI must sell him today, sir"
However, I explained that l needed
the fish for only a few hours, and d.
rectly: we struck a bargain. If after
two hours I still wished to keep the
fish I should buy fiat the end Of the
stipulated time the boy came. 1 was
not quite finished. I'm a few minutes
I said, and when I looked up he was
gone. a
Shortly afterward the proprietor
came, tiptoeing In and peeping over
my shoulder. I could hear him softly
signing, and I said nervously, I'm a
few minutes now, in a few minutes"
Don't 'urry, sir; don't 'urry," he
urged. "She's gettin' on! Hill take
my chances, sirv'
When the painting was finished lie
refused at first to accept any remu-
neration, but at length, with a NUT
tered apology, he charged-a shilling!
The painting was hung and shortly
afterward purchased by the Corcoran
Art gallery for a very substantial
sum.
On my next trip to London I deter
mined to call up my fishmonger, tell
him Of the good fortune that had at
tended the painting and tender him
some fitting reward. To my great sur
prise he not only refused again any
sort Of fee, but evinced no surprise
whatever at the figure the painting
had brought, though the price paid
represented several times over the in
vestment Of his shop.
"Ah, but 1t was a fine cod, sir!" he
said, and his eyes glowed with pride.
"Now, wasn't it?"-William M. Chase

THE BEST WAY TO STORE FuRs

THE BEST WAY TO STORE FURS
When storing furs in the springtime
do not s preservatives that make the
garment an odorous nuisance for many
days after it has been brought from its
summer hiding place. Neither hang it
out in the sunshine for some stray
moths to flutter over. Cleanse them
well by shaking and gently beating in
the house. Then lay neatly in a box
(the one made for the garment if pos
sible). fit on the lid closely, and place
v e the Joining of the lid and box q
four inch strip of newspaper. When
dry. put the box in a bag made of
sateen or ~unbleached muslin, stitching
up the end on the sewing machine. The
fur may be taken out in the fall as good
as new. The Housekeeper.

A Dead Bird.

Samuel Butler, the witty but eccen.
tric author Of "Erewhon," which
means Nowhere" and Of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, is
now more read than during his life
time. He died In 1902. In one Of his
notebooks he tells this incident, which
must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:
"Frank Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the hippopota-
mus cage when a little boy and girl,
aged four and. five, came up. The hip.
.popotamus shut his eyes for a minute.
"That birds dead,' said the little
girl. Come along.,"

SIMPLE FAITH.
A Burly Burglars Confidence In an

A 1urly Burglars Confidence In an
Editors Business Aeumen.
A man who admitted that he came
direct from state prison tried to sell
to the city editor Of a New York news
paper a weird and startling story Of a
missing will which he declared had
been revealed to him by a fellow con-
Wet. He was a burly fellow with a
p~rognathous jaw, and he had lost an
eye in battle. The mere look of him
would frighten a timid citizen into
tremors. Mr.. White, the expert in
criminology, cross examined the man
as follows:
"Why were you in Auburn?"
Highway" (meaning, Of course, high
way robbery.
II suppose you were wrongfully con.
victed."
"Nuh; dey had me right"
Such engaging candor made Mr..
White feel that the man was truthful,
and he was greatly disappointed when
strict investigation disclosed the fact
that the story Of the missing will was
all fictitious. The man was disap-
pointed, too, at the failure Of his ro-
nance, but he went away from the
newspaper Office in cheerful mood,
with some remark about better luck
next time.
A week later Mr.. White was sum-
moned to the reception room Of the
newspaper, and there he found his
friend, the .burly highwayman, his
shoulders broader, his single eye fercer
than ever. But his visit was quite
friendly, although somewhat tinged
with business. He evidently believed
he could rely on Mr.. Whites good
faith and business acumen. Fixing

sleeve owe to a corner of the room
and there in a loud, hoarse whisper in
