Fine Workmanship.

There is in museum at Salem,
Mass. a cherry stone which contains
one dozen silver spoons. The stone
itself is of ordinary size, but the
spoons are so small that their shape
and finish can only be detected by the
microscope. On another cherry stone,
the present whereabouts of which is
not given, are said to have been carved
124 heads, so distinct that the naked
eye could distinguish those belonging
to popes and kings by their mitres and
crowns.

ETIQUETTE

It is a breach of etiquette to take any newspaper, book or music you may find in a hotel parlor to your room, even though you intend to re- turn it.
 Mrs. X.-It is very evident that nothing is to be accomplished in the way of improving your sons manners by talking to him. You might try setting examples before him. Invite his friends or other young people of his age, whose manners are all they should be, to your house to dinner often; and ask young ladies as well as young men. He may become ashamed to exhibit to their critical eyes the crude manners he habitually displays before you. l think it would be best never to speak to him on the subject, but place him as often as possible in a position where he will have to prove himself either gen. tleman or a bore, in the presence Of people whose opinion he is sure to care about. And never allow your own manners to lapse from perfection whether others are present or not. He may often embarrass you when YOU have guests, but the plan is worth trying anyhow.
 Miss M-Since you have decided to cease to go with the young man who has been so devoted in his at tentions to you, do not insult him also. You had better cease to accept his invitations gradually until he real izes that you do, not care for him. If you were engaged to him, it would be another mattery

HIPPODROME

Aircraft pictures are known from coast to coast as the finest cinemato- graphic productions of the day and when photoplay enthusiasts see the wonderful screen spectacle, "Barbary Sheep" which will be offered this evening at the Hippodrome theatre, topping the superlative New Years program, they will agree that this Art. craft special is without a doubt the finest motion picture feature ever shown in this theatre noted for super excellence screen productions.
 Elsie Ferguson and an all star cast are featured in the play and Miss Fer guson needs no introduction to the atregoers. She makes her debut as a screen star in "Barbary Sheep,' which is a play that is ideallys suited to her histrionic ability.

EMPIRE

Some time ago D. w. Griffith, who is now an Aircraft producer, demon- strated the fact that there is some- thing new under the sun of dramatic themes by producing a stupendous film based on the theme of Intolerance through the ages. Now comes Cecil DeMilIe and the Lasky company intro ducing Geraldine F'arrar in a big theme-and a new one-Superstition
 This is the thread which runs through the production entitled "The Devil Stone, which will be shown at the Empire theatre today and tomor- row. In writing the scenario, Jeanie MacPherson, working from the story by Beatrice DeMille and Leighton Os- mum, discovered that the plot was new and different, and-of more im- portance- -dealt with big theme, that of the effect of superstition through the ages, from the ancient Morse le- gend of Grenelda to the events in the life of Marcia Manot at the present day. Numerous other select screen plays will also be shown

WANTED A JOB so SHE
 MADE ONE
She Opened a Tea Room and the Business Grew Apace;;
 Read How

The girl who wanted a job started 8 sweater shop. and opened up over a tea room. Two rooms she rented and they were hopeless when she moved in-that is. hopeless in the sense of beauty.
 But the girl who had found her job had traveled also and the shops she had seen were masterpieces of the decorators art. and she determined to follow their example. If done by herself the expense would not be great. and she would then be in a condition to command the wealthy trade that she wanted. She began by painting the walls a light green and the woodwork she made white. The furniture she bought-desk, table and chairs-was 8 reasonable, though not a cheap set, but when she had enam- elled it old ivory, and cushioned the chairs in black and white chintz, it looked like a set of It's kind in the starting out. The curtains and door hangings were made of printed linen, also in black and white.
 And the girl with the job didn't stop here. but brought to her little room birds cage of apple green lac quer, hanging lantern-like, with a golden finch inside. And knitting bags she bought in profusion. She didn't care whether they sold or not-they made such a charming riot of color about the shop.
 But sweaters and yarn she deter mined to sell. and sell quickly, so kept them carefully hidden from the damaging light in a cupboard; and to open the closet and drawers and see them displayed was a. joy to her mercenary little soul. For @ rug she !, bought a lovely sage green Thread and Thrum, and stood two evergreens in white painted tubs each side the entrance door to guard it.
 She opened up shop on Monday,
 on a drab and cheerless day. Two or three girls stro1ed up. hunting diver sion after tea and crumpets in the tea shop below. They were struck with the brightness and prettiness of 1 the room. It was such a lovely place 1 in which to buy your sweaters They each bought one-and then went
 home and told their friends, and their
 mothers. And when thelr mothers
 came they ordered a. whole batch for the soldiers. And so it went on from
 day to day-others coming.
 | And the girl with the job soon more
 than paid for her furnishings.

MAHOGANY AND OAK.

If you are given g. choice, do not combine oak woodwork and mahog- any furniture, or vice versa. If you cannot have white or ivory wood work, which goes with every kind of furniture, 1t is better to have wood work that matches it. Oak with oak, mahogany with mahogany.
 But if you live in a rented house, and you haven't any say-so about your woodwork at all-why, then you had better just furnish as you please, hoping when you do get that house of your own that you can put in your woodwork to match. When you think this over, you will find that the advice is sound
