Tin food faddist, It seems, has become no end of a nuisance in other people's houses, and though the hostesses might be willing to endure It, the servants have risen in revolt.

The last two mental words were ac companled by a stamp of a small right foot ; then Lady Peggy tripled down stairs Into the hall, a triumph of sweet ness, complexion and pink chiffon. She patted her mother's knee as they Bat In the hired motor-brougham. "Aren't I nice, mununle? It's mar velous how I found such a new un- erushed bargain as this frock. Messrs.

Directly they entered the ballroom Pegjry saw Ird Montleithon ; he was bonding over cynical Mrs. Groombrldge and ' the expression on his clear-cut features was, as usual, enigmatic.

Nevertheless, he came to talk to her Inter. frank smile greeted him. "You are wonderful. How can you spare time for scenes of this sort?" "I have a boy's liking for pretty pic tures."

Let me ask you are you a sympathizer?" "With poor working women?" -Yes." "I would be. If I knew what to do; mere sentiments are not real sympathy.

Lord Montleithon:" He placed her hand on his arm, and led her out Into the dimly lighted cor ridor. It was a lace-edged frill he touched. "No, not at all ; It was a bargain." "My afternoon has been spent In get ting up facts for the commission down In Iambeth slums, face to face with the results of bargains.

Bedouins that wander in the destrt have -many rough and uncouth ways, but perhaps the most unique of these Is the way they doctor fever patients. They have a rough and ready method of attempting to cure fever caused by the wounds they have inflicted on those they have captured for sale as slaves. Ice baths being out of the question, the patients are buried up to their necks in sand in the hope that the cool soil will allay the raging fever. The victims remain buried for several days until, indeed.'it is said they are either killed or cured. Statistics obtained by those who have investigated the matter say that fully 80 per cent of the prisoners succumb to the treatment. The use of medicines is almost unknown among the tribesmen who Inhabit the deserts. "Misquotations." I When Louis XVI. laid his head be neath tho guillotine, his confessor, Abbe Edgeworth, dismissed him from the world, so history tolls, Vlth "Son of Saint Louis, ascend to heaven !" yet ! In reality he said nothing of the sort. The brave defiance, "The guard dies, but never surrenders," attributed to Carnbronne when, at Waterloo, the Im perial guard were ordered to throw down their arms, has been shown to have been the fanciful creation of some historian's mind; and the saying, "Providence favors the stronger side," or, as It has been corrupted, "God is on the side with the heaviest artillery," which has been attributed to Napoleon, really originated with writers of an tiquity. Cicero alludes to It aa an "old proverb." It would take volumes to contain all the blunders, small, large and Indif ferent, that historians have made, and the lamentable part of it is that the old blunders are constantly being made over again. Carrying It Alonsr. An elderly and most respectable looking man was recently brought be fore a magistrate, says the London Telegraph, charged with unbecoming and hilarious conduct. When he was asked what he had to say for himself, he mumbled something about "doing as the Romans do." "Very good," returned the magis trate. "Continue to do as the Romans do.

"Teach me," she pleaded. "I found a woman ill, probably dy ing, of low fever merely a nerve col lapse, brought on by worry acting uion an emaciated body and brain; her baby girls were playing on her mattress with old tins snatched from some gutter. She told me she had dropped down suddenly, after finishing the last of half a dozen chiffon robes. A message had come for them, but she could not go for payment." Peggy gasped. "The wage would represent not a farthing a score of tucks, yet some of this was to be deducted, since, her baby having died, she had let tears fall upon a frill of chiffon." Peggy caught his arm with both her hands. "Who were her employers?" "Messrs. Oakley & Lemereier." She gave a cry, and the minister un derstood. Breaking away from him she leaned against a pillar, beneath a bust of jus tice, and there she sobbed, In school girl-like abandon. The minister did not forget the wear er of the pink chiffon; her sweet, tear ful face came between his thoughts and nil statistics. Once, indeed, he con temptuously thrust away the profound figure proofs that were to convince his colleagues of the necessity for legis lation. "It is woman's soul that must win this cause or crush It," was his re flection. When he next visited the woman of whose case he had spoken there was a fire In the room, the baby girls played with dolls, the mother sat up In bed, supported by the strong, young arms of a girl, the descendant of kings, who had nursed her back to life. "Lady Peggy!" "Oh, my lord, she be an angel of goodness !" The girl and man came out of the house together Into the squalid alley. Ixtrd Montleithon had a cab waiting, and bellied her In without a word. In deed, the scene had changed to Bond street before he asked : "We siK)ke of tears and misery, but you have created smiles within that home Is there the remotest hoie that you will smile for me, In mine, Peggy?" "Do you truly wish so?" It did not seem to him so unnatural a desire. "I am an awful number of years your elder a serious enthusiast but I love you, dear." "How beautiful for I lost my heart to you, oh, long ago!" Peggy Malcolm's wedding gown cost a big sum, out never ierore naa sticu wondrous needlecraft been shown by any frock. Gratitude had guided every stitch, and blessings, not tears, had been shed over the chiffon. Manches ter Chronicle. BIT OF SWITZERLAND IN IOWA. tb Ragged Beauty of a Home on Blnffa of the Mlaslaalppl. One of the most picturesque spots In the vicinity of Burlington, and proba bly in all Iowa and the Mississippi val ley, is the Seholer home, says the Bur lington Correspondent of the Des Moines Register. It is known far and wide as the "Swiss chalet," and is in fact a perfectly constructed Swiss dwelling place. In every detail the idea Is carried out in the unique dwell Ing, not only on the exterior, but with in, where those who have visited Swit zerland and been entertained In the homes of that country may see that same arrangement of rooms and conve niences as In the original structures among the Alps. Mr. Seholer, who was born in Swit zerland, and received a good education In the institutions of that country, came to Burlington fifty-three years ago, and bringing with him an intense affection for the rugged fatherland sought to maintain the Inspiration in his sur roundings. He selected one of the most ruggeu portions or laud just south of Burlington at that time, and on the steep side, overlooking the broad ex panse of the Mississippi River, he erect ed the Swiss home. He did not dis turb the wild surroundings of the place except to tidy it up in the good old Swiss way, and to train some vines around the house. To-day it presents the same rugged and natural beauty that attracted the eye of the mountain climber fifty-three years ago, and Is oue of the pleasantest views to be obtained from the brow of Crapo Tark. Indeed, from the most frequented spots in the park this beau tiful old home appears like a picture of Switzerland, with the sweep of the river beyond appearing as one of the beautiful Swiss lakes. Mr. Seholer died the other day full of years and good works and possessing the regard of all those who knew him. He left his pic turesque home to his sons, and It will long remain as one of the attractive features of this locality. Bears the Signature Hair Statistics.

A Chicago lawyer tells how the most popular man In a Nevada town got into diliiculty with a disreputable tough for a long time the terror of the place and proceeded to "do him up" in a manner entirely satisfactory to the community at large. It becoming nec essary, however, to vindicate the ma jesty of the law, the offender was brought up for trial on the charge of assault with Intent to kill. The case soon went to the Jury. When they had beeu out about two minutes they re turned. "Well, gentlemen of the Jury," asked the Judge in a familiar, off-hand way. "what have you to say?" "If it please the court," responded the foreman, "we, the Jury, find that the prisoner Is not guilty of strikin' with intent to kill, but simply to par alyze, an he done It." So the prisoner was acquitted amid applause. Lippineott's. Too Much. "'That man Ueicerndoirt is the most conceited, insufferable, vain, arrogant.

Allusion is often made, especially in fashion journals, to "osprey" feathers. Few words have been more loosely bandied n'.jout than this bird name. The Roman author Pliny's "ossifraga" (bone breaker) has been identified with the lamniergej-er, a vulture that is reputed to break up bones too big for it to devour whole by dropping them from a height upon rocks. But both "ossifrage" and "osprey," a newer form, came to be applied to quite an other bird, the fish hawk, which is now the true "osprey." Yet the "os prey" feathers more properly egret feathers, or aigrettes do not come from this bird, but from the egret, or lesser whir heron.

These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to pour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the aciJ poison.
