And In all the house the^e was no <smlly who hailed the in novation with such Joy as did the Sa llnsky family. The llrst night that It was there the elder Sallnsky, father of the younger one, grasped at once ita portent, for the lnatant he saw it he stepped to where young Isldor slept on the floor snd dumped him, neck and heels. Into the tub. It was Just the proper length. "A fit! a fltr cried the elder Salln ?ky, ^who was employed somewhere In tha depths of the clothing trade; "a lovely lit! What would we have done Without itr And to come down to a line point, to what better use could the tub be put? Otherwise it had been a mere orna ment, a useless luxury to be deplored rather than admired. But now-Wt was superb.' ^ Isidore Sallnsky lived in the Four teenth Ward. In the Fourteenth Ward there was s public school. There wss one public school in the I tfty where teachers were psld $10 more a month thsn at the other ?chools. The Fourteenth Wsrd was that school, ft was situated "down Neck, with all that implies. It wss ?n the dther side of the canal. It had a record. The teachers earned their money. It might be said that they were tillers of the soil, for lu a very tsrge degree their charges were Identi fied with that particular article. They flld their work. They took the raw material out of the gutter, and turned It out at the end of a few years clean ?nd white'and beautiful to look Upon. The record for dirt In the Fourteenth Ward School had been held for some ilx months by young AJbe Abramsou. On the dirt Question no one could ap proach hlui?and no one cared to. But that was before Isldor Sallnsky en tered the arena of events. Miss Van Steenbergh, a girl In her teens, had sharge of the third year at the Four teenth Ward School. This Is two years higher than the aand-playlng clay modeling class. Abe Abram^on was ?f this class, and it was Into this class that Isldor Sallnsky Impelled himself. And the Instant that he entered the floor Miss Van Steenbergh knew that Abi A bra ru sou's reign was over knew that Isldor Sallnsky was the champion of the world. At the close of the day she took Isl lor to one side snd lutfcrviewedlilm po litely on the, subject. "ftldor," she explained In as delicate t banner as was possible, "you are. ?b, >so dirty I Yod must wash your face and hands and keep yourself ?lean. You?you must tske a bath. I? 1 want you give this note to your moth er when you go home. Will you?" "?"'t tske a bath. wb*t do you think?" remarked Isldor all in one breath. Then he added: "My father ?eye that msybe next summer, when it fete warm sgsln, maybe I can tske a both. I don't know," he continued, re flectively, "I don't know If I had one lsst,jutnmer or not. I ferglt." Miss Van Steenbergh shook her head. ?I know," she went on. "But you must take a bath now. Haven't you t bathtub In year hoaae, or some soap ?r something? You must keep clesn. >r vje can t have you here, you know." Isftore looked at her reproachfully. *A bathtub!" he exclaimed. "I stay !n one every night! Sure!0 The teacher smiled upon him. "I'll tell lou what to do," she said. "When rou go home, turn on the water In the tub, snd All It full, and get In. It's lots of fun?snd there sre quite a lot >f little bpys who do It You oan g>lafth around all you want to. You'll ry It, won't you?" He kiliflot her aghast.

T*l? of a Typewriter. "Hello! This Is the firm that left a typewriter at yonr office on trial, and we think yon've had It about long enough. Are you going to buy It?" These were the words that were 'phoned to a clerk In Allegheny City Hall recently, and before be stopped to get hla breath he yelled back that the machine was not much good any way, ^nd he had decided not to buy It "T^en we'll aend a man to night to take It away," came over the wire. The clerk ssld: "All right, come and get the old thing." Now, the truth Is, that some of the City Hall jokers bad planned some fun, and It was one of them at another telephone In the same building who called up and pretended he was the typewriter agent. Later In the day the wag sent a young fellow, who was a stranger to the clerk, to get the ma chine. 'I'm here after that typewriter." the caller remarked, as he bad been In structed. Without hesitation the device wnt placed In his hands and he lugged It nt once to where the Jokers were in waiting. Next day one of the young men telephoned once more and pre tended he was the typewriter sales man. "The reason we have not called for that machine," he explained, "is be cause we have been too busy, but we'll take It sway to-morrow." Disguising his alnrm over what looked to him like a swindle, the clerk gasped out, "All right," and then com menced to worry. Some days later De tective Jimmy McKay was put next to the prank and asked to deliver the missing property to the clerk and ex plain to the victim of the Joke that some young fellow had been found trying to sell the typewriter on the ?treet When that clerk reads this Hem a cobweb will have been cleared from his bewildered brain.?Fitsburg Dispatch.

Really the moot practical and sitls factory gowns are those of lightweight Moths, says the Pilgrim. For these, rolles and veilings sre the materials fo buy. The most expensive grade of nun's veiling can be made up into charming dresses. These veilings tuck most successfully. A skirt with sev eral wide tucks or two or three broad Musters of narrow tucks needs no other trimming; or. If one does not care for tucking, two or three bands of allk of different widtba may be used on rows of silk plestlng, putting on the first row twelve to fifteen inches below the girdle. Ttmpm. Cnless tempers can be harmonised, no marriage can be truly happy. 8ouie may say that to resort to reasoning out every little quibble will lead to a melancholy existence. Reason should never be considered a tyrant, as Bryant said, but a counselor. However bard the struggle may be. It is sure to load to wonderful results, and as nothing In this life Is gained without struggle and honest effort, man led couples who are not happy only because they can not harmonise their tempers, will find that the struggle, even if it has taken yeara and years, will be worth the while, says Success. fMhloubU 8 am mar Color*. In millinery this season all the ilisdes of green are the height of fash Ion, particularly a very vivid apple green. Though flowers are the favor ite trimming for summer-time hat, yet fruit Is considered extremely smart, particularly currants. Not only sre clusters of red currants used, but green and white currants. It Is distinctly fashionable this sum mer to hsve the gown snd Its every accessory match in color. Pongee tan Is one of the favored shades. The lat est low shoes are made In this color, and with them stockings sre worn which exactly match. Laces are hIso dyed in this same shade.?Woman's Home Companion. Th# Mother's Son, ~* When the mother sees how eagerly her baby turns to the father for praise and how happy he Is to be a "really, truly boy," her heart rebels, as she puts away the dainty little dresses, the lace-trlmmed coats and the tiny white shoes, to make room for the sort of clothing boys must have when they have outgrown their babyhood. In her heart the mother wishes her boy had been a girl, and In fact a great many mothers keep their poor little chaps In dresses until they ate ashamed to go outside of the house for fear of the ridicule from the other boys; and he halls with delight the arrival of the sister who can take his place and give him a chance to be like other boys. Child Hint*. In bringing up our children, we have learned that in regard to religious mat ters. the sacred needs to be diluted with the secular. In other words, re ligious instruction In the abstract is not nearly so efficacious in character building as the making a few princi ples of righteousness a vital part of life. Practice Is better than precept. My boy quickly learned the Bible's Injunctions as to kindness and gener osity, says a thoughtful mother, but when he gave ten cents of hard earned money to help a poor woman, the act made a greater Impression upon his nature than all his Sunday schooling. Most of us parents need to realize that actions speak louder than words?that a good example and right deeds by parents during the week have more effect upon the child than church going alone. To Flare Nor* Thaa Ktcr. Word comes from Paris that the flaring hems of our fall gowns are to flare more than ever, and that crino line and featherbone are to be used to make them stand out. Moreover, says the New York Post, the many ruffles we aro wearing are to be In creased rather than diminished. It Is not artistic to cut up a fabric too much, and It really seems a frightful waste of time to cut one's clothes Into a thousand pieces and then sew them together again. We bavo been through the 1830 period, and are passing through the 1800's. It would be too bad if we were forced Into the early seventies with its long-trained, tijbt flttlng, beruffled gowns. The possibil ity reconciles us to the widening of the skirt. Still, If It keeps on much longer It will require thirty ysrds of sflk to make a gown, especially if sleeves grow with the skirts. Th* Olrt Who's Alwan Ut*, The girl who must get up early each day can save herself needless worry and have much more time for the coveted morning nap If she will make a few needful preparations before re* tiring. Sew on loose buttons, polish the shoes and mend the gloves. Ar? range the clothing and accessories conveniently near on a chair to facili tate dressing in the morning. Cloth Ing which .has been worn all day should be taken off after reaching borne, brushed and hang la the opea air or spread over a chair near an open window. You will feel and look bettet for this extra care of jonr clothing Be particular to brush your hair thor oughly before retiring and It will need less care in the morning. Manicure your nails and hare all toilet article* In place for Immediate nse in the morning. The want of a pin or a veil at the eleventh hour and the turning of a room topsy-turvy In an effort to find the desired article is an noying. to say the least. In brief, learn to systematise your dressing, then there will be less rush and plenty of time for a nourishing brealcfsst which is of vital importance to (?ui health. AmmHtsmm Warn Art TnltUit.

A pepper mill is a piece of silver not often seen on tables nowadays. Rng< lish housekeepers, however, still ue the pepper mill, and American silver smiths sometimes keep it to meet thai demands of old-fashioned families whs prefer to grind their own pepper ratln* er than risk tJbe chance of adulter** tlon. The pepper mill dates bsck tm the time when pepper was a scarcer commodity, and was always ground at the table from the pepper corns. Pepper was so valuable In tboee day* that rents were often paid in peppea corns, and the high prices thejr brought were among the incentive* that Induced explorers to brave tbe dangers of the unknown deep. If m short passage rould be discovered te the Indies It was agreed by all thag a wealth of pepper could be easily; brought to Europe.

It should be generally known thaff "egg powders" have nothing in com mon with eggs but the color. When ever* It Is desirable to give a yellow ap pearance to articles of the bread aw? cake order, a little liquid saffron col oring may be mixed with the watar or milk used for mixing. In mixing, .water is all sufficient for tbe plainest forms of quick bread, but skim or ne?r milk adds to the nourishment andi richness. Buttermilk is of service, but Instead of using baking powdrr add a teaspoonful of carbonate of and*, and half a teaspoonful of tartaric acid to every pound of flour. The rea son for this variation is that, owing h? the capacity of buttermilk, less ac?d. in the form of powder Is required. The properties are. on an average, a heaping teaspoonful of powder to n pound of flour for bread, but this may, be Increased by one-half for scones^ also, if the powder has been kept for any length of time, allowance must be made, as It loses itp strength. About half a pint of liquid per pound I* right, but this most be regulated by the quality of the flour and the amount) of fat used In the mixture. The crust inn.v be softened by brush.
