The Things at Home.
All up and down the land I ifo
'Viih mother, malum: rails,
And sit In chairs so much too high
In strange and different halls.
And cannot think of things to say.
And feel so pleased to start away.
Hu; when we come to homo again,
I'm glad as glad as can be
To sc > the very oldest toys
All waiting there for me—
The horse with missing tall, the blocks.
And all the soldiers In their box;
The wagon with the broken shaft,
The doll that will not talk.
The little duck that ran so fast,
And now can't even walk.
They all are friends so triefl and true
Because of what they used to do.
And every day when I'm away
1 know they miss me so.
1 never ought to leave them once—
They're sensitive, you know—
And Just to comfort them a mite
I take them all to bed at night
—Carolyn Halley, In the Bee Hive.
Robin a Ventriloquist.
The familiar robin is at times a
ventriloquist. The bird seated only a
few yards off is singing, and the ,
sound appears to come from some oth
er bird at a distance. When singing '
thus the beak Is kept closed and only I
the ruffling of the feathers of *he
throat shows that the robin is singing
at nil. Such a power might be useful,
especially to n bird like the blackcap,
which sometimes sings when sitting
on the nest.
As regards mimicry, the starling is
our most accomplished mimic. He will
sing so like the song thrush and black
bird that It Is hard to tell the differ
ence, and in autumn he gives a fine
imitation of the curlew.
The blackbird as a rule is not a
mimic, yet Yarrell relates that it has
been heard to crow like the cock, and
the writer of these notes had the
pleasure of hearing it do so on one
occasion. Sometimes the imitation is
unconscious, as in the case of the jack
ass penguin, which, according to Dar
win, makes a loud noise “very like
the braying of an ass."—London Field.
f
Spiders’ Prey.
Far up In the mountains of Ceylon
there is a ppider that spins a web
like bright yellow silk, the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten
feet or twelve feet. The spider sel
dom bites or stings, but should any
one try to catch him bite he will, and,
though not venomous, his Jaws are as
powerful as a bird's beak. The bod
ies of these spiders are very hand
somely decorated, being bright gold or
scarlet underneath, while the upper
part is covered with the most delicate
slate-colored fur. So strong are the
wel>3 that birds the size of larks are
frequently caught therein, and even
the small but powerful scalp lizard
falls a victim. A writer says that he
lias often sat and watched the yellow
monster—measuring, when waiting for
Ills prey, with his legs stretched out,
fully six inches—striding across the
middle of the net, and noted the rapid
manner in whicli he winds his stout
threads around the unfortunate cap
tive. He usually throws the coils
about the head until the wretched vic
tim is first blinded and then choked.
In many unfrequented dark nooks of
the jungle yon come across skeletons
of small birds caught in those terrible
snares.—Dundee Advertiser.
Theft He Couldn’t Deny.
The attorney for the defence looked
keenly at the witness who was testi
fying for the prosecution. “Your
name, if I understand you correctly,”
he said, “is Horace Hinsey. Is that
right?"
“Yes, sir.”
“Did you ever live at Nashua?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And at Wilmington before that?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Mr. Hinsey, have you ever been
arrested on a criminal charge?”
“No, sir!” indignantly answered the
witness. "Nev’er!"
“Did you ever commit on offence
for which you might justly have been
arrested?”
“Never, sir.”
“Mr. Hinsey, is it not a fact that
you once stole from your own father?"
Here the attorney for the prosecu.-
tion interrupted, hut the witness chose
to answer.
“No. sir!" lie exclaimed. “Never
In my life!”
“Now, Mr. Hinsley, suppose I should
tell you that I know of a case when
you did steal from your father?”
instantly the witness’ brow cleared.
"Gentlemen,” he said, turning to the
jury, “he’s right. I remember now.
When I was about 8 years old I stole
half a dozen eggs from my father’s
grocery store, took them down under
the bank of the creek, cooked them
anl helped eat them. This lawyer,
who was a boy then, not only helped
me steal those eggs, hut put me up to
stealing them. How are you, Jim?”
The judge and jury joined In the
laugh that followed and the rest of
the examination was conducted on
more friendly lines.—Youth’^ Compan
ion.
Roger’s Birthday Party.
“Must I have a party, mama?” asked
Roger, watching his mother as she
tried to pick out the very prettiest
invitations.
“Why, dear, don’t you want a par
ty?” asked his mama in surprise.
“Yes, hut not the kind I always
have,” said Roger. "I’d like to have
all the things and then not ask the
hoys and girls. I could have a nice,
long party all by myself that way, hut
row it’s all over in one day.”
“Would you really like to do that,
Roger?”
"Indeed I would!” said the little
boy. “Just think how long the candy
and nice things would last.”
Mrs. Miibank did not say anything
more about what kind of a party it
would he, but Roger noticed that she
was very busy all the time until the
birthday catne. Once he asked her if
she had invited the boys and girls,
but she said she had not, and then
told Roger to run away and play, as
she was very busy.
On the morning of Roger's birthday
he was very much surprised to find a
table set just for him in the dining
room instead oi his usual place with
his papa and mama. There were
flowers and candies and oranges on
the table, and a great, splendid birth
day cake with seven candles, and so
nvany nice things that Roger could
only open his eyes very wide and
stare at them.
"You may have all these things for
your own, Roger," said his mama.
"You are to have a nice, long party all
I for your own, and eat them whenever
you please."
Roger took a large slice of cake and
an orange for his breakfast, and all
morning he kept running to the table
for candles or nice things when he felt
hungry. At noon he did not care for
very much dinner, and at supper time
he had a headache and could not eat
at all During the afternoon several
children came in to play, but Roger
carefully closed the dining-room door
for fear they might want some of the
goodies, and he even forgot to offer
any to his papa and mama and grand
mother.
But a very strange thing happened
next day. A very lonely little boy
begged to come hack to his place at
the table and have his howl of bread
and milk, for he said he was tired of
having cake and candy and popcorn
and oranges all the time. “Please
may I ask the children to come this
afternoon and tiave some of my birth
day things?" he asked. “I am sorry
I was so selfish.’’
So the hoys and girls were glad to
help dispose of things, and they had a
very merry afternoon. "No more long
parties for me,” said Roger, looking
at the empty table. "This kind suits
me best.”—Hilda Richmond, In the
Sunday School Times.
The Piazza Girl.
“There have been six girls in the
office this morning,” the dean re
marked, glancing keenly at the gray
eyed girl before him, “who have said
that they were willing to do anything
to earn a little money."
The gray-eyed girl did not flinsh.
"But I am ready to do anything,” she
answered, with a smile that empha
sized the significant word.
Tiie dean turned to ills desk, and
rummaged in one of the pigeonholes.
“There are several ladies on the
campus who are in need of some one
to sweep their walks every day, and
wash the piazzas once or twice a
week. Are you willing to do that? Of
course, it will not bring you in much,
but it is all I have to offer at present."
“I shall be glad to do it,” the girl
replied. “May I have their address
es? Thank you very much.”
The dean leaning hack in his chair,
watched his visitor as she crossed the
campus. Six other girls had refused
the work that morning. "But it re
mains to be seen whether she does it,
after all,” he said, to himself.
She did do it. Every morning for
nine days he passed her on his before-
breakfast constitutional. She always
spoke brightly, with no apparent con
sciousness of broom or mop.
“Means what she says, gives honest
work, no false pride,” the dean
thought with satisfaction. Then sud
denly the piazza had a relapse. When,
two weeks later, he met her, he asked
about it.
“Oh,” site explained, l am doing
typewriting for Prof. Sumner. He
asked me if I could do it as well as
I could sweep walks, and I told him I
could. It is fascinating work,—copy
ing the notes of his experiments.
“I’ve no doubt,” the dean declared,
“that you intend to perform experi
ments of your own some day.”
“I’m going to try," she laughed.
When he readied that point in his
favorite story, the old professor al
ways stopped.
“And did she?” somebody was sure
to ask.
“No,” he fumed, “she went and mar
ried a young upstart of an instruc
tor. She swept his piazza for a while,
till he made a reputation, and she
copied his notes, and I’ve no doubt
did half his work,—he always said
so.”
“It seems a pity,” the sympathetic
listener, lured on so far, would proba
bly begin, only to he vehemently in
terrupted.
"Pity? Where’s the pity? What’s
a pity? She helped a man do his
work in the world, and brought up
three sons, any one of whom would
have washed piazza floors cheerfully
to get an education. One is building
bridges out West, one is helping bmld
brains in the East, the third is still in
college. I’d like to know how a wo
man could put her education to better
use."
Then he would smile, and look out
across the campus, with its group of
girls.
“I used to doubt the wisdom of high
er education for girls. The girl who
washed piazzas converted me,” he
would finish.—The Youth’s Compan-
Joii-
Spanish Women.
Spanish woman are not the person
ification of southern passion, as we
have been taught by “Carmen” and
romance to believe; they are physic
ally and mentally superior to Span
ish men, capable of passion, but far
more difficult to woo than northern
women.—Glasgow Nows.
College Chess Champion.
Miss Mary Gordon Williamson, Mr
A., Edinburgh university (graduate in
honors), won the minor championship
of the Scottish Ladles' Chess asso
ciation at the Stirling congress with
out losing a single game. According
to the (^ueen, she is a member of the
celebrated chess family, being a
granddaughter of “Delta," the Rev.
John Donaldson, minister of Klrkcon-
nel. His brother-in-law, Dr. Gordon,
of Newhattle, played as "Oatnrae."
Greatest Natural Beauty,
No woman need he told that fine
teeth are one of the greatest natural
beauties, and if she Is an actress or
chorus girl she knows the full Im
portance of having a good set of Iv
ories to show like a dontlfrlco adver
tisement over the footlights. The
World’s London correspondent says
the pioneer of toothsome beauties was
Ellallne Terriss, and now nil the stage
charmers aro following her example
and showing their teeth in a perpetu
al grin. But first the teeth must be
above reproach. Nature is sometimes
kind to fu^jire actresses in this re
gard, and then again, art is kinder,
hut whatever produces the semblance
of wholesome, gleaming teeth, praise
he to the gods and dentists. The
stage has noble purposes. It has
taught women how to dress, and it
now teaches the whole world to be
careful of its teeth.—Boston Herald.
Bridal Modes.
The bride who clings to white satin
and Spanish lace will find that both
materials are wonderfully in style
again. The finest of old Spanish lace
is brought out from the family treas
ure chests and used for the decora
tion of the June bride. Spanish lace
is always elegant, and it would well
repay the bride of today to purchase
as much of it as possible, for It will
come In good as long as she can wear
lace. It is durable and there is a
certain elegance in its texture which
makes it ideal for bridal wear and
for wear on all occasions when one
uses lace.
The chiffon materials are much used
for bridal occasions. There Is also a
thin crepe de chine, which is in fav
or. But chiffon satin, chiffon taffeta
and chiffon cloth are among the fav
orite summer stuffs. There are
brides .who elect to go to the altar in
the simplest of white mull gowns,
heavily worked with hand embrold-
efy. A gown of this description looks
much more innocent of expense than
it really is.—New Haven Register.
Delightfulness of “Daughter.”
"Sit here, daughter!” The dignified
elderly father designated a seat to
the . quiet, middle aged woman who
came with him Into the somewhat
crowded railway suburban train.
Something in the gentle authority and
kindness of the tone caused two of
the nearby passengers to look up in
terestedly. The fine faced woman—
as dignified as was the father—seat
ed herself at his suggestion. A mo
ment later the father, from his seat
Just behind, across the aisle, leaned
forward to make some remark about
the crowded conditions.
It was a slight and passing incident.
Yet there was that degree of defer
ence and direction on the one hand
and of delicate acquiescence on the
other which gave to the relationship
of the white haired father and gray
haired daughter thoroughly unmistak
able distinction.
"I wish my father would call me
‘daughter’ in that way. There is a
dellghtfuine8s in it that gives me a
positively new sensation,” said one of
the two young women passengers
who had heard and observed. “I could
obey any man—father, husband,
brother, son—who would take car? of
me in that tone of voice.”—New York
Tribune.
All Lines of Industry.
American women are forging to the
front in all lines of industrial pursuit.
As wage-earners and bread-winners
they are making their male brethren
recognize them as foewomen worthy
of their attention in ways other than
sweeping carpets and cooking break
fast.
In the avocations of life—303, as re
ported by the Census Bureau—women
fill places in all except nine. They
are physicians. They have planned
are lawyers. As chemists they have
made discoveries. The arts and sci
ences knowing them, beckon them
still further onward.
In the United States 6,000,000 wo
men work for a living. Not many
more men do that. Onedialf of the
single women are self-supporting. In
the city of New York 400,000 provide
themselves with food and raiment
without the assistance of man. And
here, too, according. to Herbert N.
Casson, unhappily there are 40,00(1
women hunting for jobs.
The competition of women witll
men is one of the signs of the times.
We now hardly realize the signifi
cance of our own epoch. Future his
torians will tell other generations
about it when we have passed, not
realizing our own times.—New York
American.
Duties in Dining Out.
“How few guests at o-ne’s dinners
come in a temper and with a manner
which help bring the best results out
of one's efforts!"' exclaimed the hos
tess of the night before, in a day-after
mood of reaction, as she and her vis
itor sat talking it over. "Time and
thought, as well as money, go into the
planning of a really good dinner, and
it ought to be the guests’ duty to
bring their best and brightest selves.
I feel as if my dinner had been a.fail
ure, the people were so uninterested."
“Nowadays we talk not because we
have something to say, but because
we aro afraid of not talking," said the
visitor from the modern Athens.
"Yes; the most of what people say
now Is for the sake of making a
noise," returned the hostess of the
dinner. "That was what 1 objected
to so much last night.”
"We all know perfectly well that
we have nothing new or amusing to
say concerning the weather or the
latest novel,” continued the other,
following out the train of thought.
"And yet we go on talking about the
weather and the play and the novel,
despite the inward conviction that we
are boring our neighbor; or else we
run some pet hobby into the ground. ’
“I wonder if people generally might
not fairly be divided into two classes, ’
mused • the hostess of overnight,
“Those who know nothing about any
thing and say It conventionally well
enough, and those who know or care
a great deal about some one thing
and will talk of nothing else."
“Somebody, somewhere, said that
the great principles of conversation
are simple negations; don’t assume
that your companion is imbecile, and
don’t assume that he ig interested in
shop,” quoted her companion. "It cer
tainly doesn’t add to the enjoyment
of a good dinner to thrash out anew
the weather subject, or to wear to a
greater thinness some already
threadbare topic. One can put a lit
tle thought into one's conversation
without impairing one’s digestion.”
“The idea that conversation should
be improving or instructive is a mis
take, I think,” suggested the hostess,
with an edge of criticism in her
voice.
“Never pedantry!” exclaimed the
other, quickly. “Better than that, too
many stories. For instance, I knew
a man, not so very clever, who used
to keep a notebook of stories, and be
fore he went out to dine anywhere, he
would freshen up his memory of those
stories, and so add his share to the
conversation.”
“At least, he appreciated his duty
in dining out,” said the hostess,
laughingly. "But to go hack to our
subject, a good conversationalist
neither preaches nor lectures. In
fact, nonsense has a large place; a
really good diner-out ought to be a
past master in the art of talking non
sense. No one who is above non
sense is ever really acceptable, as
the world goes.”
“Gentle nonsense, then," said the
modern Athenian, by way of summary,
“an avoidance of facts and a light
touch in discussing all things make
up the charm of dinner table conver
sation. I suspect that the charm of
personality lies behind the success of
It all—in dining, as in every other
state of life into which we are called.”
—New York Tribune.
Fashion Notes. ”
Voile and chiffon are two favorite
foundations for trimming.
The more sheer the material the
more effective is the braiding of .sou
tache.
Nowadays the greatest elaboration
is put on gowns made of washable
materials.
A new idea in linen collars and
cuffs for coats is seen in a set made
of glass toweling.
The lace and fringe which trim the
long coat of heavy net are dyed to
match the net perfectly.
When selecting a cretonne for your
waistcoat or as a finish for your cloth
suit, get one of the old-fashlonet de
signs.
Long green tail feathers and coarse
net in a moidore shade are the
Frenchy trimming on a hat of soft
taupe straw.
Those short but very full ruchings
worn about the neck and tied with
ribbon ends are a smart addition to
the street frock.
New parasols have their polished
handles decorated with large chenille
tassels slipped through crystal rings,
or immense bows of ribbon.
The prettiest of fancy stockings
and that in best taste is the one
which exactly matches the gown and
is embroidered in self color.
A novelty is the new weave in a
silk glove. This is almost like filet,
net, crossed with bands of the plain
weave arranged to go around the arm.
The hat of cerise which is begin
ning to show the effects of frequent
showers and strong winds is being
changed to one of an entirely differ
ent color.
Solid embroidery In color and
braid of the same color let into the
material instead of lace produces quite
a noyel effect oa the blouse of dainty
white linen.
PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
The only original thing about some
men is original sin.
Hold on light to your temper 'round
the curves of matrimony.
„ Alas that tlie fever of love should
so often be followed by a chill!
Poverty is only a relative affair, af
ter all; It is X minus the things you
want.
Heaven must be something like an
afternoon ten, as far as the dearth of
men is concerned.
Cold water never cured n fever and
a woman’s indifference never put out
the divine fire of n man's love.
The woman who is wedded to .in
art and also to a man pays the full
penalty for thnt kind of bigamy.
A man always remembers a girl’s
first kiss the longest—because usually
that's the only one he had any trouble
in getting.
A man isn’t as curious ns n woman
—because usually n woman tells him
everything before he has a chance to
become curious.
Man Is such a paradox that a wom
an is forced to make him believe that
she doesn’t take him seriously—or
she won't get a Chance to take him at
all.
What do they know about one an*
other that makes every mnn who kiss
es a girl warn her so darkly and im
pressively not to trust any of the
others? *
To keep a man's interest at high
pressure deal yourself out to him In
homeopathic doses; one only wants
more of anything that one cannot get
enough of.
Love is a sort of club sandwich af
fair, composed of large slices of self
ishness, seasoned with passion, spiced
with jealousy and covered with thin
layers of sentiment.
In the love game nobody knows ex
actly what he wants; but a wise man
tries to get what he thinks he wants
and a wise woman tries to think she
wants what she gets.
When a girl can get a man to talk
about her eyes and hair she isn't go
ing to interrupt him to ask his opin
ion on a little thing like the political
situation, new thought, or Bernard
Shaw.—Helen Roland in the New
York World.
BERLIN TAXATION.
Over Six Hundred Thousand Incomes
Taxed.
The population of Berlin for the year
1906 was giv£n at 2,040,148, and of this
number the Tax Commisioners, after
deducting non-taxable children under
14 years of age, the military, and oth
ers by law exempted, found that there
were in round figures 1,125,000 persons
subject to assessment for income tax.
Nearly half this number, however
was found to have incomes of lesif than
$214 per year, and therefore, in Ber
lin, become exempt from income tax.
On the income tax rolls there were
600,899 names. Of these 315,610 had
incomes of from $214 to $286 per year,
and 226,678 had incomes of from $289
to $714 per year. There were 46,181
persons with incomes from $714 to
$2380; 10,800 with incomes from $2380
to $11,900; 1103 with incomes from $11,-
900 to $23,800; 470 with Incomes from
$23,800 to $119,000; 39 with incomes
from $119,000 to $238,000; 4 with In
comes from $238,000 to $476,000; 2 with
incomes from $476,000 to $714,000, and
2 with incomes over $714,000 per year.
Thus of the 1,125,000 persons in Ber
lin who support themselves or them
selves and families only 56,611, or less
than 5 1-4 percent had Incomes of $714
or moro per year. About 1,066,000 had
less than that amount, and more than
half of these less than $214 per year.
The servant who earns from $5 to $7
per month has the sum that her board
and lodging would amount to charged
against her in computing her income,
and even the probable tips of the wait
er are estimated for the same purpose.

Remarkable Cure of Pneumonia.
Dr. M. R. Combs, one of Terre
Haute's best-known physicians, is re
covering from pneumonia, and the
medical fraternity say that his life
was saved by heroic treatment of
which there is no record of a like
case. A freezing water bath was giv
en him at the moment he was thought
to be dying to shock the respiratory
centres and thus restore respiration.
Cold water baths in cases of fever are
frequently administered to lower the
temperature, but Dr. Combs’ temper
ature was normal. He was kept in the
bath three hours. The death rattle
ceased after a short time following the
immersion and respiration soon be
came stronger.
The entire staff of Union Hospital
had been interested and assisted In
the fight for his life when, at the crit
ical stage, Dr. Niblack suggested the
ice water bath.—Indlanapollc News.
Tribute to the Apple.
How pleasing to the touch! I love
to stroke its polished rondure with my
hand, to carry It in my pocket in my

salmon-fleshed greening! You are so
alive. You glow like a ruddy flower.
You look so animated, I almost ex
pect to see you move! I postpone eat

CAB 8ERVICE IN MEXICO.
Close Tab on the Hackmen—Differen

“In the City of Mexico thore i
the most complete inspection of th
cab servioe I’ve ever seen anywhere,
said Col. J. M. Strange, of St. I,oul8.
“The police in the capital of th
sister republic keep such close tab

thing for any argument to ever rise
between a cabby and his fare. The

The cabs are differentiated by the
flags they carry and stripes on the
side of the vehicle. It is a color

and red cabs only 75 cents. The blue
flag rigs are of course a trifle smart
er and have horses a shade better
than tho cheaper ones denoted by the
rod flag and criniBon stripes. Also
tho pilgrim from the United States
must take notice that If the top ol
the carriage is thrown back he must
pay an additional 25 cents per hour.
