She knew how hard that would be
to find in New York where the wom-
en- of seventy wear huge hats with
nodding plumes. However, she must
try. 1t was true that her mother rera-
ly asked her to do any shopping, and
now she must do the best that she
could.
CONSCIENCE STRICKEN.
And Helen felt conscience stricken
that she had written her so little late
ly She remembered how when War
rem was away she had been so anxious
and unhappy she had written her
mother almost every day. 1t had help
ed then to have some one to hold to,
but now since she needed her less she
had written short, hurried notes.
And now with an impulsive desire
to make amends she sat down at once
and wrote her mother a long letter
telling her many things about the
! house, about Winifred, about her own
| spring clothes, and about their day in
! the country with the Baldwins last
| Sunday.
Helen knew her mother loved to
hear of all the little details of her life
and she felt that she had been very
selfish in not writing. About the dress
and hat she wrote guardedly-said she
would start out as soon as she could
tomorrow morning and see what she
could find.
But after she had mailed the letter
she kept on thinking of her mother

people of a small town have such a
mistaken idea Of the cost of things
in New York. They invariably think
you can get anything you want and get
miraculously cheap-just because it
is a great city.

forts how hard it was to get her moth

She smiled as she looked at the ad-

Canine Etiquette.

In their relations one with another
dogs have /, keen sense of etiquette.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even touch one another.
For one dog to step over another is a
dangerous breach of etiquette unless
they are special friends. It Is no un-
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live In the
same house and yet never take the
slightest notice of each other. We
have a spaniel so dignified that be will
never permit another member of the
dog family to pillow his head upon
him, but with the egotism of true
aristocrat he does not hesitate to make
use of the other dogs for that purpose.

BUssoRAH A FILTHY TOWN.

Sindbad the Sailor.

Sindbad the Sailor.
We were Oh ctr Way to BnSSOrah,
famous as the apocryphal home OF
sindbad the Sailor. Bussorah is the
seaport of Bagdad. from which It Is
distant about 500 miles by river.
Bussorah in the summer is nothing
less than fiery furnace. for the ther-
mometer registers more than 100 de-
grees f. in the shade during 100 con-
secutive days. and the mean tempere-
ture, night and day. for upwards q
four months. is about 90 degrees.
Malarial fevers, dysentery and ague
are prevalent. and the town is fire.
quently visited By plague and cholera.
and yet. thanks to the cool winter and
prevailing north winds, the place Is
not essentially unhealthy for those
who are acclimatized.
The habits and wants of the popu-
lation are simple and are likely to re-
main SO for some time to come. but
the sanitary state of the town is de-
pIerable The creeks, which are tidal.
supply it with drinking water. but are
used indiscriminately for all house
hold purposes, and the stencil arising
from them at low water is oyerpoW-

Course of the Panama Canal.

There is somewhat popular delu-
sion about the Panama canal-to wit.
that the course from Colon, on the
Caribbean OF Atlantic side of the 18TH
mus, to Panama, on the Pacific side. is
from east to west. or course the At
lantic is mt the east aud the Pacific is
at the west. but the isthmus is very
crooked and ut this point tends from a
little south of west to north Of east,
and Colon is actually farther west
than Panama. AS a result the canal
runs from north-northwest to south
southeast, and on reaching the Pacific
one finds himself farther east than he
was when he left the Atlantic. Queer.
isn't it, to go westward by going east
ward? But it's geographical fact. all
the same, which few realize until they
