) FUN AND FANCY. H i I Exporter: u So that absconding cashier got away by sacrificing his beard, did he?" Detective: "Yes; I missed him by a close shave." Friend: "You took your son into your establishment some months ago to teach him the business, I understand. How did it turn out?" Business Man (wearily): "Great suc- cess. He's teaching me now." Friend: "Hallo, Pat! I scarcely knew you with your whiskers off." Pat: "The same wid me, me bhoy. I didn't know meself when I looked into the glass, except by me voice." Confidential Clerk: "Your wife is in the outer office, air, and would like to speak with you a moment." Employer: "Yes. Ah—er— Jenkins, just see what my balance is at the bank, will youf "Is the baby *trong?" "Well, rather. You Aiiow what a tremendous voice he has? "Yes." "Well, he lifts that five or six times an hour." Suatt, the famous actor, was one day alighting from a coach after a long journey in the pouring rain, when a friend who had oorae to meet him asked, Are you Suett? The immediate answer was, "No, I'm drip- ping i Mamma: "What is that book you are read- ing, Willie?" Little Willie: "It's a book ,called 'Child Training' that I borrowed." Mamma: "Do you find it amusing?" Little illie: "Oh, ha I merely wanted to see if I had been brought up properly I H Is your husband up yet? asked an early morning caller. "Yes, I believe he is," replied the stem-looking wife. "I'd u*.e to •ay a iew words to him," said the visitor. "I'd like to say more than a few. He hasn't some home yet!" "Did your husband have any luck on his shooting trip?" asked the friend of the family. "Yes, indeed," replied the knowing lady! "He managed to get home without •hooting himself or anybody else." -t "Don't you know, my boy," said the clergyman, gravely, "that you should not play. football on Sunday?" "That's all riglit, sir," was the cheery response. "We ain't playing; we're only practising for to- ondortow's game." ■ I'M: "J "Yoti: are positively the most conceited man I ever ?net! said a young lady to her brother. I conceited exclaimed the ^outk. ''Why, there's not an atom of conceit in my body! Another man with half my ability- would be unbearably proud!" When the register was, being signed the vicar asked the bridegroom: "Have you had any hail this morning?" The man blushed and hesitated, but at length replied, "Well, sir, I did just have a glass afore I started." Old Gumleigh (to conductor, who has just given him a ticket): "Young man, I laid the first foundation of my fortune by saving tram farea. I Conductor: "Ah, sir, that may be so; but you must remember that a oon.ductor couldn't do that sort of thing nowadays with these bell-punches and the check system." The Actrem: "Dear me! I have lost the kandbag containing all my diamonds. What *hall I do?" Her Manager: "Oh, don't maie a fuss about a little thing like that." The Actress: Biut the handbag also con- tained a sovereign." Her Manager: "Great Scot! I'll telephone for a detective at once." "Did I hear somebody in this crowd say I was a liar?" blustered the village bully, approaching a group of men he thought he knew. "Where's the guilty party?" "Maybe it was me," quietly rejoined a husky stranger, who measured fully 6ft. and looked to be stronger than an ox, as he pulled off his coat and proceeded to roll up his sleeves. Oh, that's all right," continued the bully, as he hurriedly backed away. "Keep your clothes on; I didn't say I wasn't." "I never saw anything like this tide! gaid he. "Here I've been pulling steadily for ten minutes, and we don't seem to have moved a foot." "Oh, Mr. Stroker," said she, after a pause, "I've just thought of some- thing. The anchor fell overboard a little while ago, and I forgot to tell you Do you tuppoae it could have caught on something? A lady was applied to for charity by a well- dressed woman. "Are you married? waa the question. "Yes." "What is your hus- band I "Out-o'-work." "But what is he when he is in work?" asked the lady. "You don't understand, miss," was the reply. "He's a regular out-o'-worker." A negro was under suspicion for chieken' stealing. He was called before the pastor and deacons of his chapel, and evidence was given as to character. The parson inquired of one of the witnesses: "Now, do you think that Brother Sambo is the man who would be likely to steal chickens?" "Well," said the witness, "I would- not like to say that, pastor, but if I was a chicken and, Brother Sambo was about I should roost high!" A gentleman, the son of a well-known M.P., was riding recently near Edinburgh, when he overtook an agricultural labourer driving an empty cart. Thinking the oppor- tunity favourable for soliciting the man's views on political matters, he asked him several questions, but found little encourage- ment. "Do you go in for politics about here?" he at last asked in despair. "No," said the man "A'm gaun for gas-pipes." Mistress (angrily): "How dare you talk back to me in that w»y? I lIever saw such impudence. You have a lot of nerve to call yourself a lady's maid." New Maid: "I don't call myself that now, ma'am; but I was a lady's maid before I got this job."

! HOME HINTS, --.
HOME HINTS, f This is an easy way to clean knives: Take a large cork from any empty bottle, and moisten some powdered batl. brick with a little water. Dip the cork in the bath brick, and .inen rub it up and down the knife blade. Finally, rub with a little dry bath-brick, and the result will be a brilliant polish with almost no trouble. r Lace curtains, that are torn can be mended in this wiily: Wash and iron as usual, then while the curtain is still lying on the ironing- board dip a piece of plain net in cold starch, squeeze as dry as possible, lay it over the hole, and iron till dry. The edges of the hole: should be drawn together a* much as possible first. I The difficulty so often experienced in cut- ting soft, flimsy materials, such as chiffon, •oft (silk, etc., is easily overcome by pinning the material on to paper, and cutting both together. If this is done the chiffon ean be cut perfectly straight without any catching or rucking up. For sallow skins no treatment it 80 im- portant as thorough washing twice a day, and friction afterwards with a fluffy toweL Frequent half-washings are very bad for any complexion. Treat any constipation present by a diet of porridge, whole-meal bread, and stewed fruits, and by plenty of outdoor exercise. A wineglusful of any apsrient mineral water, in an equal quantity of hot water, half an hour to an hour before break' last often does good. < Leather upholstered furniture lasts mueJa I longer if the leather be periodically revived with this mixture. Take one part of the best vinegar and two:parts of linseed oil; shakd well together. Apply a little on a sofT rag, and then polish with an old silk handker- chief or a wash leather. In this manner the leather is not Only cleansed but also softened, I; so that cracking is prevented. Fires made wholly of coal are very expen- sive. Take a bucket of water and mix into it sixpennyworth of cement, two pennyworth of powdered chalk, and a breakfast cupful of common salt. Pour this on to one hundred- weight of common slack, and mix well witli v spade till of a thick pasty consistency. Then make into balls the size of a large orange, and put aside to dry. When hard & couple of these put at the back of an ordinary i 4rewill much economise the use of a good expensive coal, and help it last longer.

GBMS icyiR rnqfl" Rings set with precious stones should always be inspected from time to time to ascertain if the gems are at all loose, especi- ally in the case of claw, settings. It is also a good plan to wash them periodically in warm soapsuds to which a few drops of sal volatile have been added, an exception being made, ihowever, in the case of turquoises, which should not be damped. In every case the claw settings should be cleaned by means of a wisp of blotting paper rolled into the form -fit a shading "stump" and worked into the in- terstices so as to clear them of any accumu- lation of dirt. I THE MODKL HOSTSSS. A woman may possess wealth untold, sho may have the kindest hearts and the brightest of minds, but unless she has absolute control of her feelings thert will be some time in her career as hostess that she will display annoy- ance or flurry, and the contagion spreading to I her guests will cause an otherwise successful entertainment to die out in undisguised failure. A model hostess must to all appear- ances be made of stone, so far as disagreeable happenings are concerned. Even though a guest or carelese waiter inadvertently breaks a bit of china which can never be replaced, she must smile on as though the loss of the entire set would but emphasise the pleasure of the evening. Her well-bred calm inspires her guests with a feeling of confidence, and everything will paas off to a happy conelu- sion. An imperturbable calm and a ready tact are the two important factors in tibtf making of a model hostess. j I THE CAM OF GLOVES. I II a glove is of the right size and cat, much of its subsequent tiiictability depends upon the way it is first put on. It should be perfectly adjusted to the hand, with every seam straight and, true, each finger pushed down to its proper place, and the whole fitted smoothly and carefully. No attempt should be made to buTton the glove till the hand is perfectly fitted; then begin at the bottom and proceed gently. Do nothing with gloves in a hurry. Gloves should never be drawn off by the finger tips, unless they are old and loose. Removing them in that way stretches the ends of the fingers. Instead, take the glove by the wrist and draw it gently back over the hand till the second joint of the finger is reached. It can then be drawn off f the finger-tips. When it is thus taken off, the very best way to treat it is to leave the fingers distended, just as they come from the hand. A torn kid glove can in most cases be mended so as to defy detection. Under the tear, on the inside of the glove, place a piece of strong silk of the proper size, and eecure it by invisible stitches. Then quilt the leather upon it with darning stitches.

MERCHANT OFFICERS BRAVERY.
MERCHANT OFFICERS BRAVERY. Steps are being taken by the Imperial Mer- chant Service Guild to notify in, the proper quarter the heroism of the late siri. J. Nichol- son, chief officer of tke steamship Lima, who lost his life, when engaged in rescuing the,erew of his ship, wrecked off the coast of Chili. Launching a boat in a rough sea, he succeeded in making a, rope connection with another vessel, the Hatumet, and, after several daring attempts, got the end of a small line from, the Lima, which was to be used in hauling the people through the water. But before anyone, had passed by it a heavy swell threw the boat clean out of the water, and she fell bottom up, Only two men, iri'her'were saved the others, including Mr. Nicholson, being swept away. Captain Peters, of the Hatumet, and his officers, have signed a letter, to the guild, de- claring t-liat Nicholson "will live in our ries as a man with a heart as brave liB a lion, and a brilliant example of British pluck." ¡'

TEETOTAL JUSTICES. J Giving evidence before the Commission on the election of J.P.'s at Scotland House, S.W., Mr. R. F. Wilson Holme, of the firm of Messrs. Godd^n,; Son,, and Holme, solicitors to the Brewer* s" Society, said he desired to call atten- tion to the fact that men sat on the Licensing Bench who were biased, against the licensed trade, often even to the extent of advocating the absolute prohibition of the sale in any way of intoxicating liquor of any kind. He sug- gested that no man should sit on a Licensing 'I I Bench who had publicly expressed opinions in- I compatible with the' exercise of that discretion. i

COTTON WAREHOUSE IN FLAMES. I Damage involving the loss of about £ 30,000 was caused through a fire which occurred at a cotton warehouse in Liverpool. Alarm was ( created by some of the steps in the stone created by some of the steps in stone staircase expanding owing to the intense heat j and bursting with a terrific report. The full j strength of the fire brigade was present, but several hours elapsed before the outbreak was sbudued. Four floors w^re destroyed, and the contents of others scorched and damaged by water. The origin^of the outbreak is unknown.
CHILDREN'S HUNGER MARCH.
CHILDREN'S HUNGER MARCH. About 100 children between five and twelve .years old, the majority clad almost in rags, assembled at Fulham-cross on Monday, and, marshalled by Stewart Gray, of "hunger march fame, marched through the streets to Putney Heath. "■ = At the head of the procession was carried a banner inscribed, "Potato Patches for the/ People: Children's Demonstration for the Parents' Land." Mr. Gray had expressed his intention of pro- ceeding to Wimbledon to enclose land for the unemployed, but owing to the attitude of the police it was decided to end the march on Putney Heath. There he gathered the children round him, and on putting the question found the majority had had no dinner. The large crowd which had assembled promptly subscribed a respect- able sum, and this was expended upon oranges and buns.
LEFT THE HOUSE ON FIRE.
LEFT THE HOUSE ON FIRE. One of the most curious holiday incidents re- ported on Monday occurred at Hull, where John Henry Tomlinson and his two sons started for a day's enjoyment, and unconsciously left the house on fire. They started from home about six o'clock, but before going one of the lads struck a match to enable him to put a penny in the slot of the gas meter. The dropped match evidently set fire to the house, for when Mrs. Tomlinson awoke some time later she discovered the bedroom full of smoke. Flames prevented her and the five children descending the staircase, and, amid great excitement, they were rescued through the bedroom window.
A BICYCLE FOR NOTHING.
A BICYCLE FOR NOTHING. A gentleman well known in West Ham was Cycling through the Broadway, Stratford, on Tuesday afternoon, and the traffic being very thick he got into difficulties. He managed to steer clear of an approaching tramear, but in doing so collided with 'a motor omnibus and was thrown violently to the ground. He sustained slight injuries, and apparently disgusted with cycling got up and exclaimed, Confound the thing; I have had enough of it. Who wants a bicycle? A passer-by ex- pressed his willingness to take the machine, and the gentleman at once handed it over to him. The fortunate pedestrian immediately mounted it and, thanking the donor, rode away I
