THE REo-ToPPEo BOOTS.

To the last my memory wanders
To the happy childhood days.
bringing Joyous recollections
OF Its sports ana childish ways;
But one moment seems the brighter.
And my memory longer stops,
AZ the time wore so proudly
Boots with red morocco tops.
Fleeing time I'm quick succession,
AS the years rolled swiftly by.
Brought new scenes and new enloyments,
Changing as the moments fly:
But of these my mem'ry wearies,
And their view il gladly drops,
Just 10 see those boyhood treasures
Boots with red morocco tops.
Proud walked to school in winter,
drawing SHOWS and piercing cold,
Richer than the envied miser.
With his hoard of shining gold.
And u seemed-perhaps twas fancy
That the world in wonder stops
Just to gaze but for a moment
At those red morocco tops.
How thought I was the envy
OF the boys across the way,
with their boots, so plain and clumsy,
That they'd worn for many day.
How felt way up and above them.
And to play would never stop,
Just because my boot was finished
With red morocco top.
Years may bring US many lesson.
But we fail to heed the best
II we think that wealth or station
Makes US better than the rest;
And the one who. proud and naughty,
With the humble never stops
is more foolish than the schoolboy
Proud of boots with flaming tops.

fuses to corroborate the falsehood; it
was therefore fortunate for Philips
plan that his mothers emotion pre-
vented her from seeing the untruth.
And see now how great matter so
small a thing may turn aside. If Mrs.
Thorndyke had looked up she would
have believed Philips face against his
words, and there would have been no
solitary migration and no case in
equity--no moral upheaval and no
struggling of a carefully educated con-
science. And, besides, Philip might
have died comfortably at home, with oil
the accessories of civilization to make
il easier.
Preparations for the journey, and the
arranging of matters connected with
the estate, kept Philip so busy for the
next few days that there was no time
TO indulge in painful rehearsals of the
approaching lcavetakings. AS a conf
dunt in the business affair was ncces-
sary, he told his solicitor, not the exact
truth. but what he had made himself
believe to be the truth, and was thus
enabled to keep his mother in ignorance
OF his careful provision for her future.
When it came to making the will, Col.
Van Cott,who was family friend of the
Thorndykes, and of the Morrissons as
well, put in n word.

Perforated sheets OF postage stamps
were unknown six decades ago. Until
the year 1854 postage stamps were Is
sued in sheets which the purchaser
had to cut up in any way he found con
venient. The perforating machine was
invented by an Irishman named Arch
er. When 1t was submitted to the
British government the treasury Offer
ed him $4,000 for his patent rights. AS
Archer had spent over four years In
perfecting his machine, this offer was
Indignantly rejected. Eventually Arch
er was awarded $50 900.

Fooled After All.

During the Peninsular war n number
of English officers had established a
mess in Spanish village, with native
cooks whose efforts were fairly salts
factory to the keen appetites of the
campaigners. They were joined, how
ever, by certain peevish, cantankerous
major, who bitterly complained that
every dish was favored with sugar
after the Spanish fashion--and quite
UNBEATABLE. Finally, he confined him

''Thcy can't sugar those" he cried, tri-
umphantly. But his triumph was
short-lived. Next morning sorne mis-
chievous subs were at the mess-table
before the major, and cmpticd all of the
salt cellars. replacing their contents
with powdered sugar. The major
soon appeared. and with gloomy com
placency began upon an egg, with
which. as usual, he took plenty Of
"salt." At the first muuthful his face
turned purple with rage. "Sugared,
by Jove." he exclaimed, and rushed
off to his tent.--San Francisco Argo-

Avoid the Cheap and "Bis Can" 6ak-
ina Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have very small percentage OF
leavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three times az much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the hong
run, the actual cost to the consumer of tho
would be.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome bak.
ing powder hike Calumet. that is at tho
same time moderate in price and one
which can be relied upon? Calumet gives
the cook the least trouble.
