SPIRITS AND HARRY
BY GRACE JENNINGS.

When Harry Fenton opened a law
office in the metropolis he encouraged
himself with the statement he had
once read that the average lawyers
income was in tho neighborhood of
three thousand dollars. That was all
right, but it omitted to add that the
colossal incomes of the leading lights
swelled the average; in other words,
that this income was distributed
among the profession very irregular
ly indeed.
Three months and three clients had
begun to raise in his mind serious prob
lens as to his winters Office rent
when, one morning, the prettiest girl
that he had ever seen entered his
little place.
What can l do for you, madam"
asked the man, bewildered both by
the apparition and by the melancholy
thought that he could not charge a
pretty girl as much as he would charge
her father.
"You are a lawyer, are you not?"
asked the girl, sitting down and look
ing helplessly at him. 81 wanted-I
wanted to go to an unknown lawyer.
You see, / am well-known about here.
My father is a lawyer"
"You havo come to the right place,
madam" said Harry grimly.
'Well, it's like this" said the girl
"My father married late in life. He
is nearly eighty now, and he has fall
len into the power of a dreadful
woman-M Madame Charmeuse, the Me-
dunn"

papers?"
eyes. She claims to put him in
communication with his wife-my
step-mother, you know-by automatic
writing My mother died when l was
born, and father married again. and his
second wife died, and--well, last night
both Of them wrote to him"
Out of the girls incoherence Harry
gathered the following facts: His Wis
itor's name was Lucy Lawrence, and
her father had been noted lawyer in
his day He had begun to investigate
Spiritualism, and the Medium" had
begun to send the old man notes, in

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
METHODS THAT MAY BE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best When One Can
Afford Them-keeping the Dish
cloth Fresh-LInoIeum for the
Floor Covering.

Tiles are SO clean and nice II one Il
able to afford them. The young wife
who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex
pensive at the start. Round the kitch
en- walls they are splendid and most
hygienic In every way.
The back Of the sink Is bound to get
splashed with the washing up after
each meal. Therefore here it is es
sential to have either tiles or zinc OF
something of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite well if secure
ly nailed fiat against the wall. This is
easily cleaned daily with little dry
brickdust.
The tiles, of course, are ideal, as
all they need is a washdown with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
ITO go down the .sink and eventually
stop it up. 1t is shaped so that it fits
into the corner Of the sink, perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes
away, leaving the solid bodies in the
basket.
Nothing Is more unpleasant than q
greasy dishcloth. To keep this i'm.
portant article fresh and sweet, il
should be scalded each time after USE
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed we'll in several wa
tiers.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, if you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use a double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn.
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in a
jug of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A little arrangement saves
the middle one so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish we'll with a
dry, clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to pur-
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect
10 the last.
Clean your windows when the sun
is not shining, for if the sun shines
on a wet window no amount of rub.
bling will prevent it from being streaky
when dry. Avoid a frosty day, too,
as the glass is apt to break easily
then. Dust the windows thoroughly.
Wash the glass with a sponge wrung
out in tepid water with a few drops
of ammonia in it. Dry with a clean
cloth with no fluff on it,. Polish
with pads Of newspaper

EIectropIatino Mirrors.

A new method of silvering mirrors
consists of depositing the metal on
the glass by means of a high poten-
tial electric current. A plate Of metal
is placed against the glass; these are
laid fiat on table and the air above
them is exhausted to a high degree
of vacuum. Then small quantity of
hydrogen gas is introduced and the
current Is turned on through mega
tive pole attached to the metal plate.
In 30 seconds the glass has been sill
vered.

When BoiIino Milk.

When boiling milk, If few spoon
fuls Of water is put into the sauce
pan, first letting it boil rapidly for a
few minutes before the milk is added,
the milk will not burn, however hot
the fire may be.

PRODUCING Harry.
II am pleased to meet you. sir, y
said the deluded old man, rising and
extending his hand warmly. Madame
Charmeuse, permit me to present Mr.
Fenton. Yes, sir, We are In position
to know beyond doubt that the dead
return, to manifest themselves by the
hand of the living. You are acQuaint-
ed with automatism?"
mot yet" said Harry.
1T Is not likely that you yourself
will receive a communication at first"
said Mr.. Lawrence. 1T takes time to
make the spirits aware that you are
here. But If you concentrate hard you
may assure yourself that you will draw
pure spirits down to these earth-bound
regions-but let us begin" he ended,
taking his seat at small table.
The Medium" followed suit with
poor grace, and, sheet Of paper hav-
ing been placed under her hand, and
a pencil beside it, the lights were
turned down.
1t was creepy-Harry acknowledged
that. But the thought of Miss Lucy
had somehow become an inspiration to
him. He felt that he must save her
fortune from the grasp of the harpy
opposite him. Once his hand met hers
and he ventured silent pressure OF
goodwill. He thought it was returned
before the girl drew hers away.
I'm going into a trance" an
nounced Madame Charmeuse. I'm
going-going-h folks!"
The last was In a thin, squeaky
voice which made Harry jump in his
chair.
That's Joey, the Indian boy" ex.
planned Mr.. Fenton. "He always comes
to announce who is present"
1--WE can't do much tonight" said
Joey. "The spirits won't write. They
say there's an unbelieving presence
here which Is antagonistic to their
success"
Isn't either of my wives there?"
asked Mr.. Lawrence
yep, they're both here, but they
say they can't write" said Joey.
Dear me, am sorry am antagon'
istic," said Harry.
you get out!" squeaked Joey.
you've got no business here, and
you know it."
Papa, perhaps it would be better
to turn up the lights" said Lucy
quickly. And the lights, turned up,
showed Madame Charmeuse just com.
ing out of her doze

woman.
NO." answered the old lawyer. "The
influences were antagonistic. joey said
they couldn't"
Whats this?" cried Harry, snatch
ing up the paper under the "Medi-
um's" hand.
There certainly was writing on it.
my wife's writing!" exclaimed old
Mr.. Lawrence, holding up the paper to
the gas. Dear husband" he read

money to Lucy. The spirits that told
you not to were lying spirits using my
name. Don't give them any further
chance, but compare my handwriting
with theirs"

writing, as the Medium" slipped quiet
ly out of the room, pausing only long
enough to make a threatening gesture
at Harry.

Lucy six weeks later. Father has

BILE AND BILIOuSNESS

Coated tongue, bitter taste in the
mouth, indigestion, headache, lack Of
appetite, constipation and feeling Of
fatigue are effects OF excessive secretion
Of bile.
This condition iscalled biliousness and
points directly to the need OF something
to regulate the liver. For this purpose
Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly
superior to old-fashioned liver medicines
which oyer-stimulate the liver and, when
their use is stopped, leave it more torpid
than before. Pinklets are tiny, sugar.
coated granules that do not upset the
stomach or cause gripping.
