Mrs. 'Wiggles has the very great mls
fortune, to be married to a purist, and
what she has to endure, so her neighbors
say,; passes all belief. For Instanoe, here
Is a conversation said to have been over
heard by the Dubbses, who live! next door,
one morning last week'.
"Henry," called Mrs. Wiggles from up
stairs, addressing Mr. Wiggles, who had
got up early to start the furnace, "what's
tha thermometer this morning?"
"Same as usual, my dear," Mr. Wiggles
replied, calling up through the flue. "It
is a little Instrument made of metal, glass,
and mercury designed to show degrees of
heat and cold. It is a simple and Inex
pensive little contrivance, and no home
should be without one."
"I mean, what does It say?" returned
Mrs. Wiggles, with an expression of coun
tenance which, not having been seon, can
only be imagined. '
'It does not say anything, my love," re
plied Mr. Wigglea, brushing some soot out
of his locks. "Up ta this time nobody
has thought to invent a talking thermom
eter, though I suppose that It would be
possible by means of a phonographic at
tachment which operated by a delicately
adjusted device of some sort to get the re
sults which you seem to believe are al
ready attained."
"Oh, you know what I mean," retorted
Mrs. Wiggles, somewhat stridently.
"Where Is the thermometer, then, If you
are going to be so very, very particular.
"It is Just where we left it last nigh
dear heart," returned Wiggles; "sorirk;
on to the left-band Jamb of tha front tictr.'.
I fancy that if It had not been screwed vv
it would have disappeared long ago. Where
did you think It wasT"
"Has It rUen or fallen?" demanded the
lady.
"Not that I know of." said Wiggles. "If
it had risen, J think ws should have seen
the old sorew-holes In the place where It
bad been, and as for falling, I know It
hasn't done that, because thermometers
are rather fragile thinga, and If it had
fallen at any time there would bave been
signs of fracture at least, even If the whole
thing had not been shattered to pieces.
Don't worry about It, anyhow. I fastened
It on the door-Jamb myself, and with four
screws it can hardly ootne loose that la,
not all at onoe."
"Henry Wiggles," roared the lady's voice,
growing more than severe, and having
about It certain qualities of icy sharpness,
"do you mean to tell me where the mer
cury stands, or not?"
"Of course I do, lovey," replied Wiggles,
lighting the fire at last. "It stands In the
little glasa tube that runs from the bulb
at the base of the thermometer up to the
top. Where did you suppose It stood on
Its head?"
Here the conversation stopped.

The Call of the West.
The following story Illustrates what can
be accomplished by a rolling stone rolling
in the right direction: A boy of IS, the son
of a mechanic In a small town, began to
get restless. He longed for a wider field
and better chances than those offered by
the odd Jobs he had thus far been able to
obtain. A relative came from the north
westt where he had gone years before, and
his stories of the newer country fasci
nated the youngster. Hventually arrange
ments were made whereby the boy could
go back home with this visitor, and the
latter got hlra a Job In the electric lighting
plant where he himself was employed. The
lad's pay was 4 a week at the outset and
he paid his relative $2.50 for board. Elec
tricity interested blm. deeply and be spent
much of his spare time studying Its prac
tice and theory. At the end of two years
his pay bad been doubled and the company
j vas greatly Interested In him. He sent
ome money nome occasionally, ana began
saving IL.60 weekly. By the fifth year he
was getting $100 a month and bad $1,100 in
a building and loan association.
Then he married a girl who liad saved
1500. With $1,500 as a starter they bought a
lot In a new section of the town and built
a home, the place costing $4,000, and being
carried on a $2,500 mortgage. It waa cer
tain that the neighborhood they selected,
though then mostly commons, would eoon
be a fine residence district. The young man
had an eye to tha Interests of the company
and made an arrangement whereby prac
tically every modern convenience and
a highly modern system of lighting were
Installed in his bouse, the company bearing
out part of the cost. This resulted in put
ting the electric current in every new
house built in that section; for, when
people saw his home, nothing but eleotri
clty was considered In their plans. Today,
after fifteen years, this man Is superin
tendent of the electrio company, with a
salary of $300 a month j his home Is clear
and another house is being paid for on the
building and loan plan. Saturday Evening

Carriage boots for babies can be bought
now in the Infants' department of a large
Broadway store. These foot coverings are
of knitted wool, soft and fleecy, and are
high, as they reach far up the legs.
The tops are finished with fur edging In
exactly the same way as are boots for
grown-ups.
For those who prefer the average length
bootlea this same style trimmed with fur
can be scoured.
Babies' mittens In soft grays and whits
angora are attractive, and so ars the leg
gins and other woolly comforts.
Kid and leather are popular as trim
mings, but of course, are expensive, and so
I suggest using the arm lengths of kid
gloves after the band portions have been
worn out.
From such pieces of kid beautiful quills
could be made. The shapes of these kid
quills may be any that are desired. The
framework of them should be buckram,
and on this the kid Is fastened. The stem
of the quills may be Indicated by tiny
black or white beads and a border design
worked, if such Is desired.
The edge of the quill should be made fast
to a fine silk wire. The back must be lined
with moire, using the same tone as the kid.
A row of beads set on closely around the
edge w-IU give a neat finish.
fcmall cut gold beads worked Into tan
suede will be a pretty combination, as will
steel or silver applied to gray.

BY LAFAYETTE PARKS,
'There Is a man out in Chicago trying
to cat thirty-two quail in thirty-two days,"
beglna Rrightslde, when Son has signified
his intention of lingering for a brief suasion
at verbal calisthenics.
"Iioks easy to your little Willie." com
ments Bon, aa he strikes up a match for
the "coffin nail."
"I've heard It said that no one has ever
been able to accomplish the feat," contin
ues Father.
'Whenever you get ready to buy. Top, I
am willing to tackle the Job," announces
Son. "The coy quail, perched Un golden

I could die eating the little birdies."
"They say that la what happens to any-
one w hen he gets up near the thirty mark."
says Father, dlscoursgingly.
"1 ve paid the check for bright-eved
dames 'who I think could eat fifty quail
In one after-theater supper." Son com-
plaina. "If anybody wants to take the short
end of nne of thoae bird bets, all he need
to do to cop It off Is to pick an eater from
the Great White Way. You'll find a bunch
of kiddos In that Alley who can eat a quail
a minute and never wink an eyelash or
pay a cheok."
"This city seems to be quite a place for
eating," ruminates Father.
"It's the last word in Big Bats, all right."
assorts Son. "If thoae Chicago chaps have
got a bundle of long green thnt worries em
to cart around, all they need to do to flag
It la to try out that quail game along
Broadway. Why, there are cute little
skirts you'd think might atmost die of in

who can make disappear In one evening

watch and diamond locket to get together

Some Suggestions About Amateur
Amateur photography that includes ex
posing, developing and printing pictures
taken Is fascinating and, contrary to the
general opinion, no special apparatus, a
dark room, etc., Is necessary to success.
The requisites can be made at home.
Of course the first essential Is camera or
kodak that will take clear photos.
This does not necessarily mean an ex
pensive Instrument. In fact, a noted pho
tographer declares that the simpler the
construction of the camera the better, if
it be perfectly light-tight. He adds: "The
best camera for general Use Is one which
will make photographs four by five Inches,
or five by seven inches, adjusted for use
on a tripod." '
The model camera Is light and compact
and should be capable of reversing. While
a tripod is an aid to successful photogra
phy,, the kodak, etc, that Is held in the
hand will take excellent pictures.
Most persons know, without being told,
that a photograph should only be made
with the sun shining from behind the cam
era or from one side of it
The experience gained from developing
plates at home, too. Is valuable. For in
stance, when a person Is not sure how long
to expose a plate It Is well to use a second
plate on the same subject, giving it either
a longer or a shorter exposure. When
developing the plate It will be readily as
certained whioh makes the better picture.
Of course, In the case of a snapshot
camera the button la simply pressed.
In choosing subjects for beginners pro
fessional photographers are agreed that
simple objects, preferably landscapes, are
best. After taking the pictures the devel
opment process comes.
Any room from which all rays of sun
or white light can be excluded will answer
tha purpoee of the dark room. There
should be running water, but If this Is Im
practicable then a pall of freah water and
another for receiving the waste water must
be provided. The kitchen or bath room
may be utilised at bight or If a room can
be made dark by covering the window
with a dark cloth, except one pane which
should be covered with red glass or paper,
the developing can be done In the day
time. If a single ray of white light reaches
the sensitive plate it will be spoiled.
Tha red light does not affect It unfavor
ably. Therefore, when developing at
night a red light may be used to work by.
Two trays will be necessary, a four ounce
graduated glass and a minim gradual fof

"Of course." explains Father, "the food
In our best restaurants Is most temptingly
prepured."
"You don't have to tempt the skirls suf

get anything better, a plate of hum and.

measuring the solutions: alto a smsll pair
of scales.
The chemicals reaulred are a nackae nf
dry plates, a Dnuml of hvnnsulnhlia nf
soda, a pound of bromide of potassium and
a package or developer containing two
solutions.
Though there are developers ready pre
pared. If amateurs wloh to use them, the
following formula is unsurpassed:
Pyrogalkil, one ounoe; sulphite of soda,
four ounces; sulphurous acid, four ounces.
and water, ten ounces, in another vessel
put together carbonate of potash, threa
ounces; carbonste of soda, one dram;
water, ten ounces. The developing fluids
made by mixing one dram each of the
solutions with one ounce of water.
The plat should be placed on a tray
filled with water and allowed to remain
a few moments, when it muat be trans
ferred to a second tray containing the de
veloper. The plate should be held by the
edges and not touched that la, the sensi
tive side of it. The plain glasa will ap
pear right and glistening, the senslUv
side dull.
At first a dark streak will appear in
the middle of the plate, then half of the
negative will darken. Tills is the sky.
Soon the details will be observed, and
then care and patience must be exercised.
The tray should be gently rocked to and
fro until the picture is clearly seen, and
the milky while appearance of the plate
is changed to a dark gray color.
The plate must then go into the fixing
bath after being washed in two or three
clean waters.
The fixing bath is prepared by simply
dissolving four ounces of th hyposulphite
of soda in twenty ounces of water. The
negaUve must remain In this solution until
all yellowness disappears.
After th "fixing" th plat should be
placed under running water and then set
to dry. When dry It Is ready for printing.
For this process the plate is placed in th
frame film aid up, then a sheet of print
ing paper Is laid on the negative, sensitive
side down. The wooden back is then put
in. When firmly secured expose to the
sunlight, on a window sill or similar place.
No shadow must fall on tha plate.
From one to two minutes Is usually long
enough for the printing. When taken from
the frame the prints should be placed In a
box or drawer away from the light.
