To- secure for a reasonable sum a
clean. sanitary place to sleep and to
eat with as little temptation ana as
little evil influence as is possible.
These are doing in themselves much
good to the great army OF working
men. In connection with these,
those who are able and willing to
perform some manual labor have
free access to the employment bu
reaG which is conducted simply for
the aid of getting those who are out
of work into work that they may
have some income for themselves
and for their families. The bureau
is not run for the sake Of COM
mercial gam OF for the sake Of
money, bnt rather with the pure mo-
tive in mind OF aid and assistance to
the men who stand in need thereof.
The establishment Of, second
hand stores and the purchase of Sec
ond-hand supplies is rendering to
the working classes great service, in
that serRiceable and useful clothing
and household equipment is sold at

A man is very susceptible to

obtained at nominal price and se=

within him feeling OF obligation
and appreciation and gratitude,
which makes him susceptible to
good will and religious counsel.

Simple ParIor Tric'-

The Magical Eggs-For this feat you require half a dozen eggs, which you may provide yourself with before beginning the performance, if you wish. In that event, the eggs may be deftly palmed in the left hand until the moment when they are wanted. It lends more finish to the trick. how ever, if you borrow the eggs from diff ferent ones in the audience, thus con- vincing them that you do not require any special brand of eggs.
 Showing the eggs to the audience, ask some young man to come to the platform. When he stands beside you. entertain your audience with some merry chatter about the price of eggs and the lackadaisical attitude of hens toward the exigencies of existence. Meanwhile break each egg swiftly and allow the contents to drop into the different pockets of the young man. Push the shells in also.
 Now make a few mystical passes and utter some cabalistic words and then take the eggs out whole. If you do this properly 1t will greatly sur prise the beholders.
 Should you make mistake, ask the young man to stand aside while you distract attention by beginning anoth- CT clever feat.

BeWilderino Names.

Women who do only small amount of buying are likely to feel oppressed. when they do undertake to make some modest purchases, by their ignorance of the names of the various articles of merchandise shown to them. It Is only necessary, however, to know something of the origins of the com plicated nomenclature of trade to be convinced that an inability to master it need not be taken as a sign of mental weakness. The Upholsterer tells ofa modernized oriental rug which was named by putting lot of fanciful names into a hat and then drawing one from the collection. Another rug has acquired a name with a particular ly nice oriental sound; but it is the name of a people that has not longer any distinctive existence, and had nothing whatever to do with either the making or designing of the rug. When names are so easy to get it is not strange that every material, color and mode has numbers of them sufficient to create utter bewilderment in the minds of the initiated.

Disllked by Ills Horse.

Of all domestic animals. the horse Is probably the most gentle, but there are exceptions.
 A California man had in his stable a fine thoroughbred horse, of which he made quite a pet. One day he went into the stable, and, stopping to pat his favorite steed. he was surprised when the horse, with violent plunge, brpke the halter and came at him with open mouth At first he thought it was in fun, but he soon realized his mistake, and hastily climbed up lad der and yelled for help
 On the arrival of his son, the horse went back to the stall and immediate ly resumed its former gentleness to all but It's owner.
 To him it remained deadly foe, un- til he was compelled to sell 1t. He never knew the reason for its sudden animosity.
