To make a mahogany table shine like a mirror dip a woolen cloth into a ta blespoonful of vinegar mixed with three of pure linseed oil and rub vig orously.

She had found an old scrapbook of his in w'ich were pasted some poems he had written to some one else and published In the college papers. "I thought," she said, "you had never loved any one but me." And he promptly reassured her that she had thought truly, and burned up his old scrapbook in the furnace In the basement And the next day he found that she had distributed on the mantel and the dresser not less than five photographs of as many former beaux of hers and invited two of them who were in town to dinner the next Sunday.-St. Louis Mirror.

But It Proved Too Expensive For the Bachelor Girlm. "No, we don't keep a pistol in our apartment any more," said the girl who draws for the magazines and shares a small flat with a young wo man who teaches in one of the private schools; "not since an expefience we had last winter. Before that we did, aid we had a perfect beauty of a pis tol, too," she added in a tone of regret fil reminiscence, "silver mounted and handle inlaid with pearl. We spent a good deal more than we could afford f.r it, but we didn't like those plain steel things. Now it's gone, though. I bad to give it away, and I don't sup pose Marian will ever consent to our Iaving another. "You see, this is what happened: I was the one who knew-more about andling a pistol, so I used to sleep with it under my pillow. We -were both awfully afraid of burglars, and s.ter there had been-'a series of rob beries in our neighborhood we were so error stricken that we were ready to lake alarm at the slightest sound. One night, to our horror, we were both atoused by a creaking noise and then a .ight bump, just as if some one, tip ,:oeing around, had stumbled against ;omething. For an instant we were simply paralyzed with fright. Then, looking tremblingly about the room. I made out over in one corner a tall, dark figure, perfectly motionless. I reached cautiously for the pistol, aimed it and fired twice. The figure did not fall. and the horribly strange thing w~as that it did not move or make n sound. Yet I felt sure I had hit it. "Although we were frightened halt to death we felt we must get up and light the gas to investigate. By that time people from the other apartments in the building were rushing to our door to find out what the shots meant. Well, the light revealed matters. I had simply ruined Marian's new forty dol lar coat which hung on a book in that corner. The noise we heard? Oh, that was some one on tihe floor below who had come in late and stumbled against a chair."-New York Tribune. A FATAL MEAL. The Untimely Ending of a Crow Who Swallowed a Centiped. "Saw a curious thing in California last winter," said the man who travel els about. "I had stopped for a mu met to chat with a man who was ploing, when he called my attention to a large centiped that he had just plowed up. "'Come along with me a few feet,' said he, 'and let's see what those crows will do when they find it.' "There were several large carrion crows that had been following the farmer and picking up the insects that were turned up, and they were now a few feet away, waiting for the plow to start again. "We went on a few feet, and the crows followed. One bit, black fellow soon saw the centiped and swallowed him at one gulp. Then, in the expres sive slang of the day, there was some thing doing in the neighborhood of that crow. With a caw of despair he mounted into the air for perhaps a hundred feet, then fell heels over head till he was a few feet from the ground. Then he managed to catch himself and flew upward again and away for the hills, cawing wildly. He had not gone more than 300 feet when he lost all control of himself and fell like a shot to the ground. We went over to where he had fallen and found him on his back with his feet in the air, stone "In a way I know how that crow felt when he awoke to the situation.

Severf Bleach Hon the Great Bar CATA0RH1 Catarrh has become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. it is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and 1roat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they de not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poisol1 and eliminates from the system all catar. rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases. Mr. T. A. Williams, a leading dry-goods mer chant of Spartanburg, S. C., writes: "For years I bad a severe case of. nasal Catarrh. with all the disagreeable effects which belong to that disease, and which maeke life painful and unendurable. I used medicines prescribed by leading phyicians and uggested by numbers of friends, b~ut without getting any better. I then began to take S. S. S.
