Navajoes Sell Wool am Bw Yarn.
The Navajo Indians of Arizona are a
material factor in the wool market. The
tribe is wealthy through its flocks. The
tribesmen are believed to own little
short of 1,000,000 head, the care of the
flocks and the weaving of wool being
almost the sole occupation of the 22,-
000 Indians. Singular to relate, only a
small part of the Navajo wool crop is
worked up at home into the wonderful
blankets that have made the tribal
name famous. Only the coarser and
cheaper blankets are now made of the
native wool. The up-to-date Navajo
weaver uses Germantown yarn and Dia-
mond dyes.—Ainslee’s Magazine.

Fv THE STORM.
3 os seostetirstresttitess
“If we can't agree, ma'am, it's high
time we parted company,” said Mr.
3arnabas Buffington.
“My sentiments exactly,” said Miss
Patty Chickson, “and the sooner the
better, according to my way of think-
ing.”
Mr. Buffington was a portly individ-
1, with a Roman nose, iron-gray
and a stout, short figure.
Miss Chickson was tall and spare,
with little spiral curls and the remains
of a complexion, and with blue eyes,
that had been passing bright 20 years
ago.
“There is an end to all human endur-
ance,” observed the gentleman stern-
17.
¢ Sir” said Miss Chickson, “I have
put up with your eccentricities until
forbearance has ceased tobe a virtue!”
“A month's notice!” said Mr. Buf-
tington, savagely flourishing his yel-
low silk pocket-handkerchief.
“You are quite at liberty to go at
the end of 24 hours, for all 1 care!”
retorted Miss Chickson, with dignity.
“Madam, I take you at your word,”
said the gentleman.
Mr. Barnabas Buffington had lodged
with Miss Patty Chickson for 10
years. He was rich and eccentric;
she was poor and proud. As young
people, there had been certain love
passages between them—or ratler the
buds of loves passages, which had
never blossomed into full perfection -
and when Mr. Buffington came home
from China and found his old pastor's
orphan daughter trying to gain a
scanty livelihood by letting apart-
ments, he engaged her entire second
floor at once, and paid his way like a
rajah.
“Poor girl! poor girl!”

Miss Chickson had her petty peculiari- |
ties. The consequence was that little
collisions were inevitable.
And one day there came a longer
measuring of wordy words than usual,
and Mr. Buflington and Miss Chick-
son formally parted.
“Ten years is quite long enough to |

old bachelor.
“I'm only surprised that I haven't
turned him away long ago,” said the
old maid.
So when Mr. Buffington had gone
away, in a cab piled high with bag-
gage, Miss Chickson rang the bell for
her maid.
“Barbara,” said she.
“Yes, ma'am?’ said Barbara.
“Mr. Buffington is gone at last,”
“So I perceive, ma'am,” said Bar-
bara. “And won't he come back again,
ma'am?”
“Never!” said Miss Chickson, with
spirit.
“Oh!” said Barbara, rather sur-
prised.
“It will be necessary for us to re-
duce expenses,” remarked the mis-
tress. “Of course I cannot any long-
er afford to keep so large a house as
this. Mr. Buffington, whatever were
his faults, cannot at least be accused
of parsimony.”
“Certainly not, ma'am,”
bara.
“Of all liberal,
spoken gents—"’
“Barbara, you will oblige me by
hilding your tongue!” said Miss Chick-
son.
“Certainly, ma’am,” said Barbara.
“Get me a cup of tea,” said Miss
Chickson, “and when I have drunk it
1 will go out to look for a cheaper
house, in a less aristocratic neighbor-
hood.”
Barbara brought up the tea, in a
quaint little Wedgewood teapot, on a
Japanese tray.
Miss Chickson drank it in
looking sadly at the fire.
Tea was, so to speak, Miss Chick-
son's inspiration. When she was low-
spirited or in doubt or puzzled, or in
any way thrown off her mental bal-
ance, she drank tea, and straightway
became herself again.
Meanwhile, Mr. Barnabas
ton, in the solitary
west end hotel, was
at ease.
“I don’t like this sort of thing at
all,” said Mr. Buffington to himself,
one morning a month later. “It Isn't

looking about a cat. I'll go out ana
look down the advertising columns of
the daily paper and see what Induce-
ments they have to offer in the way

ly gentlemen.”
So it came to pass that Mr. Barna-
bas Buffington sallied forth, not house
hunting, but home hunting.
It was not a so readily disposed of
business as he supposed. This house
was next to a livery stable; that one |

He rang the bell; a neat little maid- |

cap responded to the summons.
“Please, sir, misses ain't at hoe,
but I knows all about the rooms,’
said the little damsel. “I can show |
‘em, and I can tell you the terms.
Barnabas Buflington liked the look
of the rooms. There was a bright
coal fire burning in the grate.
“Misses wanted the rooms to be well
aired,” said the girl, courtesying at
every other word.
“Your mistress, my girl, is a woman
of sense,” said Mr. Buffington. “This

He was walking pensively along a |
quiet and shady little street, with
both hands thrust deep down in his
pockets and the front of his hat tilt-
ed down, over his nose, when, chanc-
ing to look up, he perceived a gray cat
dozing in the bay window of a modest-
looking house and on the doorway
thereof was placed an unpretentious
notice:
“Board and Lodgings at Moderate
Prices.”
“I like the look of that place,” said

“I know a better plan than that”

Mr. Buffington. “I didn’t know how
much until we separated. Let us set-

“At our age?’ said Miss Chickson.
“We shall never be any younger,”
said Mr. Buffington.
“If you really think people wouldn't
laugh!” hesitated the spinster.
“What do we care whether they do
or not?” said the bachelor, recklessly.
And the result of this conference
ras that Mr. and Mrs. Barnabas Buf-
fington are now sitting, one on either |
side of the hearthrug, with the gray
cat in the middle, as harmonious a
trio as one will often find. |

Straw Hats.
Our first straw hats, worn about the
beginning of the century. were of the
palmleaf variety, the material being
imported from the West Indies and
braided in this country. Following
them in a few years came the moun-
tain Leghorn type. made from imported
Italian straw, and then, in the twen-
ties, the Maracayboes and Panamas
In 1840, or thereabouts, straw braids
were imported from Italy and shaped
into hats, and factories sprang up in
all parts of this country. Straw braids
are now imported from Japan, China
and Italy. Over $35,000,000 of capital
is invested in hatmaking in the United
States—New York Press.

off the lid carefully, and throw box and

water Next morning add two gallons

harden before using; turn the cakes
over and expose them to the air to
promote the drying.
The Fashion in Tablecloths.
Tablecloths to which up-to-date
women accord the highest homage are
of plain [rench damask, hemstitched
and worked with magnificient sprays
of filled-in embroidery. These spray.
are varied in shape. Some tablecloths
have two,
and swinging their way along the ends
and up the opposite side for a short
distance others have bands across the
ends, while still others have great,
bunchy effects. The important thing
about these sprays is, of course, that
they must not interfere with the plac-
ing of the plates.
| When the filled-in embroidery covers
the sides of the tablecloth
thoroughly no monograms are used. |
But ordinarily a tablecloth is embroid-
(ered with four, one at each corner,
24 inches from the end and 12 inches |
on each side of the centre. This ar-
rangement places them so that they re-
main uncovered during the entire meal.
For more ordinary use tablecloths
are’still of French damask, with wide
hemstiteh. The patterns vary; some
are large, others small, and generally
a woman chooses them to suit her
fancy. - Yet there seems to be a ten-
| dency to select the small, plain pat-
terns, rather than those more elgbo-
rate. For instance, a popular design
is merely striped damask, with a fancy
| square woven in the centre. Fringed
| table linen rarely mow is used.
Spiced Gooseberries—For five pounds
of fruit allow three pounds of
sugar, one pint of vinegar and one
| tablespoonful each of ground cinna-
{ mon and cloves. Mix all together,
cook until thick, stirring occasionally,
and seal in glass jars.
Currant Pie—Make with under crust.
I%ill a deep earthen pie plate three-
| fourths full with the currants, after
| they have been heated to the boiling
| point, sprinkle over a cupful of sugar,
cover with rich paste and bake in a
! moderate oven 40 minutes. Dust the
top with powdered sugar
Spanish Sweet Pepper—Parboil for
10 minutes three green peppers; halve
| them, dip in oil and fry for 10 minutes;
| when cool shred fine, mix with an
equal weight of cold cooked fresh fish
flaked; sift in a cup of shredded young
lettuce; pour over a mayonnaise and
serve on lettuce nests.

Cheap Reading a Novelty in London.
The sixpenny novel has come to stay,
much to the consternation of the pub-
lishers., who fear that this cheap litera-
ture will work a revolution in the book
trade. Almost every day sixpenny edi-
tions of popular novels are being launch-
ed on the market. The success of the
sixpenny ventures is attested by the
enormous circulations that have been
secured. The six-shilling novel circu-
lates from 1,500 to 30.000, with a
phenomenal instances when the _sale
has leaped to 60000 and go,000. But |
the edition for this reduced price gen-

The quality of bread made 1s ind

who ate it. The finest and whitest was
called “simnel bread” and was only con
sumed by the most luxurious persons
occupying high rank and in affluent cir-
cumstances. The wealthy middle class
used “waste bread,” which is supposed!
to have resembled what we know as the |

a twisted form. Tourte was used by the

Every mother possesses information of vital value to her
voung daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and
the responsibility for her future i is edt in the hands of the
mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought-
less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother
on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical
well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her
children also.
When the young girl’s thoughts become sluggish, when
she experiences headaches dizziness, faintness, and exhibits
an abnormal disposition to ‘slee »p. pains in the back and lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the
society of other girls 5, when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly.

system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in
this hour of trial.

of Mrs. Pinkham’s efficient advice to young women.

“DEAR Mes. PrvgnAM :—I cannot praise Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound enough. It is
just simply wonderful the change your medicine
has made in me. I feel like another person. My
work is now a pleasure to me, while before using
your medicine it was a burden. To-day I am a

No matter how pleasant your surroundings,
health, good health, is the foundation for en-
joyment. Bowel trouble causes more aches and
pains than all other diseases together, and when
you get a good dose of bilious bile coursing
through the blood life’s a hell on earth. Millions
of people are doctoring for chronic ailments that
started with bad bowels, and they will never
get better till the bowels are right. You know
how it is—you neglect—get irregular—first
suffer with a slight headache—bad taste in the

during the day—keep on going from bad to
worse untill the suffering becomes awful, life
loses its charms, and there is many a one that

bowels with CASCARETS. Don’t neglect the
slightest irregularity. See that you have one
