Chairs for the Hobbled.

"You know those rubber rings that
are fastened to the bottom of chair
legs, sometimes half a uozen one on
top of the other. to raise the chair
high enough for a child to sit at the
table" said the restaurateur. We'll,
we are using them by the dozen. not
to boost children, but to give the
women with tled-in skirts a chance to
sit down. High chairs, so the well in.
formed tell me. prevent their knees
from polSing through the material;
therefore high chairs are necessary
equipment In every restaurant that
caters TO well dressed crowds. The
style is too ephemeral to warrant
buying a lot of long-legged chairs. so
we simply elevate part OF those we
already have by means of rings and
reserve them for the hobbled women"

Great RrItaln,s New COINAGE.

With reference to the suggestion
that the inscription of Britain's new
coinage should be in English instead
of Latin, one may recall precedent
During the Commonwealth, most of
the coins minted bore English inscrip-
tions, and an Irish half-penny issued
by Charles II. bore the English words

copper coinage, while Henry III. was

THE LEMUR A CHARMING PET
Eha In His Naturalist on the Prowl"

Pets are OF all sorts One OF the

Of that claw. II bit the lemur under

reason to be thankful that nature had
spared one toe when II promoted 1t TO
the order OF four-handed animals.
There never was a more charming
pet. He took life so gayly, and the
antics we're so original. When my man

bedroom, look round with large eyes

His hind legs being longer than his

down; but when in q hurry he would
stand up and bound along like kan
garoo, tail in the air, arms extended,

one ever saw.
The servants regarded him as un-

get into debt for home II you do not
overreach your income. Look out for
that. The mayor of a large town told
the writer that he never would have
been worth a cent If he had not
bought some real estate on time with
small payment down. He had TO
struggle to meet the payments and
often did not know where the money
was coming from, but It came some
way and he finally had his property
clear. You see, he had to make his
payments to protect what he already
had in. If you wait till you have the
money in bank to pay for a home
complete the chances are you never
will have one. for the money will go
some other way. Get into debt-rea-
