LET LOOSE HIS L‘ATIN'.
It Was a Little Rich for the Object 0
His Remarks But It Won.
A servant girl was washing the front
windows and steps of a house on High
street west the other afternoon when
She suddenly heard a voice at her elbow
saying:
“Juliet didn’t clean windows, but she
wouldn’t have been any the less a lady
for so doing. A lady to the manor born
-—-m-,a-n-o-r, if you please—is a lady
under all circumstances.”
She looked at him as she wrung out
the cloth in a pail of clean water, but
made no reply. ' _
“Seedy genteel is the verdict, my Des-
demona, and it exactly hits the case.
That’s me. Been traveling on my up-
pers of late, you know. N. C. in capital
letters, which means no cash. No
cash—no banker—no diamond-set pros~
pects ahead. All I have is my charac-
ter for industry, integrity and love for
the human race. Savey, my princess?”
She rubbed up and down and crdss-
vise with her cloth, but did not even
look at him.
“Case is justth’is,” he continued, as
he sat down on the railing and removed
his hat to wipe his brow. “I struck Chi—
cago a year ago from St. Louis. Ex-
pected to find something soothing here
something to sort 0’ lull my weary soul
into a state of calm repose. liver been
in Chicago?”
She was ready to wring out the cloth
again, and she soused it up and down in '
the water and had no word of reply.
“Beautiful city,” he went on, “but the
inhabitants thereof are inclined to be
over-particularwith strangers. Couldn’t
strike a job there to save my life, and
cheek finally played out. Chief of police
asked me as a personal favor to disap-
pear. and I always oblige the police
when it doesn’t cost you a red to do so.
Presto! change! Which in the Grecian
language signifies: ‘From Chicago to
Detroit on the bumpers.’ Do you fol-
low me, Beatrice?” '
She changed over to the other win-
dow and went rub! rub! rub! and gave
him not the least attention.
“Like the town first rate as far as I
have peregrinated around,” he went on,
using the lining of his hat to wipe his
nose. “Does peregrinated strike you
as too rich for the season? No. ‘Well,
then, let me further state that. I feel en
rapport with Detroit. Felt sort 0’ nil
desperandum when I first got in, but
I’m 0. K. now. Up on French and Latin,
my queen of the May? ’Scuse me, if I
have seemed to convey the impression
that you don’t know Virgil from Web-
ster’s unabridged. Old ‘Virge used to
be a particular pet of mine. Did I hear
a motion to adjourn?”
He probably didn’t, as her cloth went
wipe! wipe! wipe! and her back was
toward him.
“But delenda est Carthago, as I used
to remark in St. Louis. To come to the
point at once to secure a clearer and
more satisfactory understanding be-
tween us, let me assume the interroga-
tory. May be a little rich for this 10—
cality, but I have always been noted for
iiberality. Now, then, dum vivimus
vivamus,whlch shoots straight out from
the shoulder, and means: "Got any
grub in the kitchen for a traveler o’er
the long highway of life?”
She rose up and dropped the wet
cloth into the pail with a “spat!” gave
herhands a wipe on her apron and disap-
peared into the basement. Two min-
utes later she returned with a good-
sized sandwich and a couple of pickles,
and handed them to him without so
much as a look; she sensed the cloth in
the pail and went on with her window.
“Alterum alterius auxilo eget,” sa-
"In
other words: .Just my fit. You have
proved yourself an oasis in the sandy
waste of life, and allow me to return my
warmest thanks and to hope that your
future may be ne quid nimis, which, I
will take the. liberty to explain, signi-
fies: ‘Bully for you, old gal,’ and may
you never know what it is to want for
some spot on earth where your weary
soul can be lulled to forgetfulness of the
fact that you are dead broke and still
slipping.’ ”——Detroit Free Press.
Severe Test on Complexions.
Among flowers the lily seems to be
the most ‘severe test of woman’s loveli-
ness. In reality, it is too stiff, too un-
yielding, to be quite suitable for tuck-
ing into the belt or for wearing in the
corsage. But the form usually chosen
for the lily as a personal decoration is
to be seen in pictures, where fair young
persons hold sprays of them. * The ac-
knowledged beauty and the actress are
peculiarly prone to this bit of posing.
And the effect is usually unsatisfying.
Possibly the cause lies in°the formality
of this flower; in the fact that it is not
adaptable, and is stiff and uncompro-
mising. But there is, perhaps, a deeper
reason. The lily has come to symbolize
, for us the spiritual, and though this is
but a convention, it yet influences us,
*ifia*lvisixe*alzaain=#v« er
as if it were really a belief. ’From this _
arises the effect of unsuitability felt
when the stately white sprays are used
for personal adornment. It seems too
frivolous a treatment of them, and,
moreover, few are the faces in which
spirituality is so predominant that the
lily seems to belong to them.——Chicago
Chronicle.
For the Modish Matron.
A fabric resembling rich ribbed 01'1-
cutal silk recommends itself to the no-
tice. of matrons, who, while they have
a good dress now and then, consider
that it is wiser to have a handsome one
which will not easily show wear. For
that object nothing can surpass it, as
it will stand legitimate wear for a long
time, and a youthful variety of this
is made with spots and wavy stripes
of color in rose, green, blue, plum and
old gold. The crepe mohair, shot with
black, is appropriate for making sleeves
and vests when satin or silk are not de-
sirable, the elasticity of the stuff mak-
ing the sleeves set‘out just where they
ought. Tweeds and cheviots, which,
when tailor made, have so long been
a part of every lad y’s trousseau, are now
likely to be relegated to the cyclist and
sportswoman.——St. Louis Republic.
SHE WAS STARTLED.
An Inquisitive Youth Tumbled ()ver a Par-
tition Upon a SpiusL-sr': lied.
“When Mount Tabor, N. .T., was first
taken possession of by the Newark con-
ference of» the MI rhodist Episcopal
church,” said a. eltrgyman of that de-
nomination recently, “we had little
money with which to clear up the
grounds and erect the first buildings
necessary. After putting up a sort of
’open air pavilion in which the preach-
ing services could be held, we began to
cast around for some building where
transient guests might be accommo-
dated.
“The structure resulting from this
necessity was a long frame building,
which was christened the ‘Tabor
house.’ In constructing the house on
as economical a basis as possible, the
partitions were not run all the way up
to the rafters and the room was not
celled.
“I shall never forget,” contnued the
minister, “one of my first nights in this
rather crude hotel. After I had retired
I was suddenly aroused with a start by
the most unearthly shriek.
“ ‘Murder! Thieves! Robbers!
Help! Help!’ a woman was slloutinggat
the. top of her lungs.
“I hustled out into the narrow hall
in my night robe and found others in
the same attire—both men and women
~running around in a distracted way.
We all stopped before a. door from with-
in which the sounds proceeded.
“ ‘You beast! Help! Help!
der!‘ still came the cries.
“There was a sound of scuffling from
within and suddenly the door opened
and a woman, excited, panting, with
wild and disheveled looks, appeared at
the door clutching a boy, who was more
frightened even than was the woman.
“One glance settled it. The boy was
the son of a woman occupying the ad-
joining room. The little fellow, out of
curiosity, had climbed to the top of the
partition and, losing his balance, had
fallen over into the next room, landing
on the bed of a rather elderly spinster.
“The ridiculousness of the whole af—
fair seemed to dawn upon all at the
same time, and everyone joined in a.
good, hearty laugh. The boy was pun-
ished and the old maid left the next
day.”—N. Y. Herald.

Solidifies Under Beat.
A German chemist has made the dis-
covery of a new compound body which
is said to possess the peculiar quality of
solidifying under the action of heat
and again to revert to the liquid state
at a temperature below thirty-tWo de-
grees Fahrenheit. To this substance
the name of “crostase” has been given‘
and it is stated to be obtained by mix-
ing equal parts of phenol, camphor and
saporine with the addition of a smaller
proportion of the essence of treben-
thine. It is supposed that up to the
present time no body possesses this re-
markable propertyvof liquefying when
cold and solidifying when hot. Certain
substances, such as albumen, harden
when exposed to the heat, but once
they have attained this condition they
cannot be made to resume the liquid
state, although they may be subjected
to exceedingly 10W temperatures—N
Y. Sun.

A BRIOCHE.
How to Knit the Soft Foot cushions That
“’ere Once Popular.
There seems to be a renewed interest
in brioches, the soft foot cushions that
u ere once popular. I urge that they
are to enjoy a revival, like many other
luxuries, and think that readers may
be glad of a rule for knitting them
which has the merit of being an oft-
tried one. The foundation for the. foot-
stool is a leather-covered disk of mill-
board about nine inches in diameter;
to this the knitted stripe is Sewed, and
stuffed with hair,and pulled down to
make a deep depression by taking some
stitches through the board bottom
with carpet thread and a. sailor’s
needle. A large furniture button or a
short cord and tassel'tied in a bow is
sewed over the gathering. The brioche,
which originally won its name from its
resemblance in the shape to the French
cake of that name, is knitted of double
zephyr wool in stripes, 16 of them being
narrow and 16 wide, the latter narrow-
ing to a point at the center of the
cushion. Cast on 40 stitches in black
wool and knit seven rows of the narrow
stripe; then with an old gold color knit
two stitches and turn, knitting back to
the end of the row; continue to knit
back and forth with the old gold, tak-
ing each time two more stitches of the
black until within two stitches of the
top. Then knit down and commence
again with black, making another nar-
row stripe, knitting in the two black
stitches at the top in their turn. Villen
the last- stripe is finished it should be
sewed or knitted to the first stripe.
These directions are contributed by a
knitter who has had an experience of
over sixty-five years, and they ought to
be reliable. But I should advise anyone
who thinks them complicated to cut a.
pattern of the wide or gored stripe, mak-
ing the top like a melon piece, and, in
knitting narrow, by taking up two.
stitches together till the shape corre-
sponds with the pattern. If the brioche
is to be stuffed with downit must be
made with an interlining of ticking or ‘
stout unbleached muslin, else the fill-
ingwill continually be escaping in fluffy
particles—Harper’s Bazar.
To Treat a Sprain.
Most successful treatment is use of
hot foot baths for fifteen minutes three
times a day; follow each bath with mas-
sage for fifteen minutes, then apply
snugly a rubber bandage from the toes
up as high as ankle and have patient
walk. Ballet dancers use this method
with such success that they are seldom
incapacitated for work longer than a.
week—Medical Record.
