What Happened to James.

A very subdued-looking boy OF
about thirteen years, with a long
scratch on his nose and an air of gen.
eral detection, came to his teacher in
one of the Boston public schools, and
handed her a note before taking his
seat. The note was as follows:
"Miss B.-Please excuse James not
being thare yesterday. He played
trooant, but I guess you don't need
to lick him for it, as the boy he
played trooant with an him fell out.
an the boy licked him, an a man they
passed caught him an licked him, an
the driver of a sled they hung on to
licked him also. / had to give him
another one for sassing me for telling
his pa, SO you need not lick him till
next time. I guess he thinks he bet
ter keep in school hereafter. Lip

Near.Cranberry Sauce.

Cranberry sauce is easy to make.
Take so many handfuls of mildewed
dried apples or slightly moldy evap-
Grated ones, and soak them overnight.
Add a pint or so of shop-worn, with
ered-Cape Cod cranberries. Let the
whole soak for an hour, weight down
with a saucer, adding just enough
water to not quite cover the saucer.
Boil three-quarters of an hour,
Sweeten to taste, pour into molds and
set on ice. Sometimes a little red
cake coloring is necessary, but if the
cranberries are deep red this does
not improve the looks of the sauce.
Several chefs hereabout have given
this recipe a thorough test, and say
it pleases all partakers.

Tinx Rabx,s Pitiful Case.

sour baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all owe her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off. leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all v the
body, leaving the baby all raw with
out skin from head to foot. On top
of her head there appeared a heavy
scab a quarter of an inch thick. 1t
was awful to see so small a baby look
as she did. Imagine! The doctor
was afraid to put his hands to the
child. We tried several doctors rem
edies but all failed.
aThen we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where The real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the C~uticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
well. We only used n cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent. If people would know
what Cuticura is there would be few
suffering with eczema. Mrs. Joseph

Keen Red Cross Stamp Alive.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp
has proved a great success thus far.
AS an agent of charity 1t has trans
ferred thousand of dollars from the
pockets of the benevolent to a chart
table and philanthropic use in the
prevention and cure of tuberculosis
disease. This method of collecting
money for great charities, however,
is threatened with two dangers. IN
terest in the Red Cross stamp is liable
to decrease, as people become fam
iliar with the same thing, eason af-
ter season, and It's loses its novelty.
This Is one danger. The other grows
out of the ill-advised attempts to
make use of similar ~non-oficial
stamps for advertising purposes. Thus
we have before us a large blue stamp
bearing the portrait and name of
William j. Bryan, which was used
during the last campaign of the great
commoner, and a smaller gray stamp
employed by a corporation which
publishes law books.-New York Sun.

The Kitchenette Girl.

Fat servant girls are getting to De

behind the desk in the employment
e "All things being otherwise
equal, a small, slim girls stands a
much better chance of getting a place
than a big, fat one. OF course, there's
a reaso for this, and a logical one,
although you would probably never
guess it. It's the k~itchenette. Try
to get a fat girl into one OF the mod
ern k~itchenettes, and you'll find it's
like packing a shad into a sardine
can. 1t is simply out of the question.
In the average housekeeping apart
ment the kitchen is small enough,
but the kitchenette is about the limit
in the economy of space. am advis-
ing all the fat girls to either get
places with families who occupy a
while house or to take some obesity

Tangling the Pigeons.

Pigeon is pretty good on the peck,
too, but once those pink feet get into
a lady's combings he may lose 1.-THE
foot, not the combings-for they cut
into the skin of his claws clear to the
bone, and the more he tries to pull it
off the tighter it gets. Combings is
that balled-up bunch of hair that a
young lady takes from her comb and
throws out of the window, instead of
saving for a switch. Many a poor
pigeon loses his leg on this account,
and the ordinance against this INSIDE
meanor should be strictly enforced by
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. Before this law
was enforced in Tips old town he had
many a fine pigeon badly crippled up.

Danger in Stiff Collars.

The high, stiff collars which some
women are so fond of wearing are
not only unbecoming, but dangerous.
From time to time cases of persons
asphyxiated by their collars are re-
ported. One such recently occurred
in London, the victim being a young
woman employed in the postofice,
and the physician who attended her is
quoted as saying that in nine cases
out of ten the same result would have
followed a fainting fit, as the sharp
edge of the collar cut into the throat
and pressed upon the windpipe. The
supporters worn with transparent col
lars are not so bad as a collar stiff
all around, it seems, but these, too
are considered dangerous, as they
press the side of the throat.-New
York Tribune.
