Some talk of bringing me up on a bot

walking around with a grin on his

he remarked that I was just the quiet

Third Week Everything so so.
Nurse goes Saturday night. She brags
about what a little darling I am. but
I he"s talking for wages. I'm quite
sure she mistrusts me. People keep
coming in to pw me over and look at
my feet. The general verdict is
(ahem!) that I'm just the eutest, hand

all bosh, however, and I'm not at au

ors In avn Acceptabjsi Manner.
There-are tho guest in the limine.
You have longed for their coming and
now they are here vou feel that you
ami they can be jwrfectly hupp v. And
vet, if you but stopped to think of it,
says the Join- Qticni, your duty is by
no means fulfilled toward your visitors
when you have ushered them into the
spare room and have told them what
hour you breakfast.
And that spare room, is it heated P
If it isn't, have you put a sufliciency
jf clothing ou the bed? I was once a
visitor at. a place where I was expected
to sleep in the middle of winter under
nothing beyond a sheet and counter
pan;. If I hadn't known of an old
physician1", recipe fur keeping the feet
warm in a cold bed I sin uld certainly
have sat up all night. The simple
remedy is the putting of an exlra pil
low under tiie sheet on that part of
the mattress when the feet will come.
It is infallible and worth remember
ing. Hut as all the guests have not
such ideas at call be sure that there
an- plenty of extra covers in the
guestroom. See that the window
cm tains are good and that your guest
knows how to manage them. Nothing
is so unpleasant to a visitor as to be
cornpehwi -.- articles of clothing
to the wiiitiow-frxmeH because the
shades won't comedown or to experi
ment with noisily working curtain
lixtures at 12 o'clock the night after
the party. lie sure there are '.he fol
lowing articles in the room, however
small: Some good soap, a large jug of
fresh water, a clean glass of drinking
water, a supply of towels, both fins
and coarse, to suit all tastes. On the
toilet-table place a hand-glass, a pair
of small scissors for cleaning nails
clipping bangs, etc., a bunch of wooden
toothpicks, so th-tt your guests can
make use of these things without n
fending your taste at the table. I
sure the pin-cushion is well supplied
with pins, and that then is an easy,
soft-cushioned rocking-chair in the
room. Supply the bed with plenty of
pillows. Also place in the guest's
chamler a few entertaining novels.
One may serve to while away a sleep
less hour in the night or early morn
ing to your nervous guest. Without
in any way toadying to your visitors,
you should do all you can to prevent
homesickness on their part. Home
sickness is caused in a great measure
bv people expecting guests to do all
sorts of things that are distasteful to
them.
Until you learn the taste of your
visitor never serve any risque food
such as trijx', liver, fish, brown bread
or salad, without preparing a second
dish known to be liked by your gie,st
Nothing will make any one so tired of
a visit as being expected to eat the
particular kind of food that it always
gives one the nightmare to think of,
and of having to eat it or go hungry.
In serving stranger guests it is well to
remember that beefsteak, roast beef,
veal, lamb,' eggs, wheat bread, tea,
coffee, apple pie and sponge-cake can
be eaten by nearly everyone; while to
many such viands as ham, pork, mut
ton, Graham bread, chocolate, cocoa,
custard or cranberry pie, and choco
late cake are entirely distasteful.
Don't insist on tagging your friend
around all the time. Don't make her
room yours; and if she wants to take
a solitary walk don't bore her with
curious questions as to where she went
and w hy she went there on her return.
If she is used to a quiet life do not in
sist on taking her somewhere every
hour of the day, or she will go home
utterly worn out in body and mind. If
she is invited out be kind enough to
tell her what sort of dress is most ap
propriate. Otherwise not knowing
local customs she will be in a quan
dary as to whether sober black silk or
her giddy poppy surah be the propel
thing. When she comes to go, if pos

EXPENSIVE, BUT EFFECTUAL.
Farmer Who Cured a Couple of Homes
of a Kail llahlt.
It is pleasant to succeed in what we
undertake, but success is sometimes
.'t;rchased at. too high a price. A farm
it had two very handsome horses, of
iiose excellent qualities he was very
proud, but unfortunately they had ac?
.pnred the reprehensible habit oi balk
ing, which at times causeu their goon
master much annovance. One warm
day in August he was driving to town
with a load of hay. relates the
t ompanion. it was not only an un
usually large load, but the hay was of
line quality, and the farmer felt au
honest pride iu driving through the
village with it.
Just as he arrived at the top of the
knoll that looked down upon the main
thoroughfare, a long street lined on
either side with stores and shops, the
horses came to a dead standstill and
refused to move another inch. Neither
kind words nor the moderate applica
tion of the whip had the slightest effect,
and the farmer was in despair.
Suddenly a bright thought occurred
to him. 'Well. I guess these hores
will change their minds in about two
minutes."' he said smiling.
Rolling two large wisii of the drv
hay, he placed them carefully under j
the stubborn animals: then he made a i
smaller wisp t serve as a fuse, lighted
and placed it in such a position tha
the Banie would soon reach the othei
wisps. Then he ehtinfiered iitn the
load again and took the rins chuck
ling over his plan.
It succeeded. The horses feeling
the unusual and disagreeable heat"
stepjx-d forward briskly, but only just
far enough to escape fhe effect of the
flame. Then they stopped again. Ju
vain did their master from his Jofiy
perch urge them on and snap hi long
whip. They were motionless.
The farmer reflected. lt appears
to iih. he said, a moment or two
later, "there's an awful lot of smoke
for a mighty little blaze." lint as the
smoke increased he lir-t wondered.
and then slid to the irrotiud to investi-

the horses wa- now exact It under the

When Mr. P.-ivid Lindsay returned
from his ;- :i!.i in across a part t
the Australian desert a while ago, hw
said the whole ol ; ft.it. almost, water
less country was inhabited by uaiiviv
who get their w:it..'r supply by drain
ing the roots of the malice tree, which
yield quantities of pure water. This
tree, absorbing moisture from the air.
retains it iu considerable ipianlities iit
ts root:; and tlwis makes it possible to
jvo in ar. arid region, which would
otherwise be i:iiiiilia'i!:tbin.
There are people iu other part of
tins world who get their supply of wa
ter in peculiar w.-iv. The expiorer
Coudreali. for insLance, found a while
ago while wandering among tin
Turn ue-11 ii m.-ii neni hi :i i ns, i n the west
ern pari of (lui'.iiui, that it wa not
necessary for his, men to descend to a
creek when thev' wanted a drink of
wafer. A vine nown as the water
vim is found all through that region.
It yields an abundant supply of excel
lent drinking fluid whenever it is
called upon. This vine grows to a
height of sixty to ninety feet. It is
usually about as thick as the upper
part of the human arm. It winds it
self loosely around trees, clambers up
to their summits, and then f ills dowu
perpendicularly to the ground, where
it takes root again.
The natives cut this vine off at tlet
gnmniljaiid then, at a height of about
six or .seven feet, they cut it again
which leaves iu their hands a very
stout piece of wood a little longer than
themselves. Iu order to obtain its
sap they raise the lower end of the
vine upon some support and apply the
upper end to their mouths. The sec
tion of the vine, while showing a
smooth, apparently compact surface,
is pierced with many little veins,
through which the sap flows freely.
Six feet of the vine gives about a pint
of water, which is slightly sweet to
the taste. Cotidreuu says that it
quenches thirst as effectively us water
from the most refreshing brook.
The hushmen in the Kalahari desert
often live scores of miles from plueei
where water comes to the surface.
During a certain part of the year sharp
storms pass over the Kulahari, cover
ing the apparently arid region with
the brightest of verdure and rilling,
for a few short days, the water courses
with roaring torrent. The bushmen
know how to find water by digging in
the bottoms of these dried up river
beds. They dig a hole three or four
feet deep and then tie a sponge to the
end tif a hollow reed. The sponge ab
sorbs fhe moisture at the bottom of
the hole, and the natives draw it into
their mouths through the reed, and
then empty it into calabashes for
future use.
The animals that inhabit such
wates as the Kalahari are of courst
accustomed to living upon very small
and infrequent supplies of water. The
Kechuana do not lead their cattle to
1 ne drinking place oftener than once
in two or three days. It is said that
goats in the Kalahari frequently pas
months without water, and. according
to Mr. Mackenzie, there are certain
antelope which are never seen to
visit th drinking places.
In that enormous waste known as
the tiobi desert, north of China, show
ers sometimes fall during fhe summer,
and the torrents of a day fill the dried
up water courses through which wa
ter seldom run-. It is in these chan
nels that the Mongols dig I heir wells,
eecting tfi find a little water, when
ti)oii the surface of the plateau itself
the soil has hist all I races of humidity.
It is owing to the fact that a part of
the moisture .falling during a few
rainy days i thus preserved within
retch that il is possible fur caravans
lo cro t he desert .
