I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes now wail my dear time's waste. There can I drown an eye, unused to. flow For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long -since -can- celled woe, And moan expense of many a vanish- ed sight, Then can I grieve at grievances fore- gone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore -bemoaned moan, Which I now pay as if not paid be- fore; But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored, and sorrows end.

They were, says Our Dumb Animals, accorded the wildest protection by the ancient Egyptians. In the time of the Pharaohs they were held sacred, and after death their bodies were mummified and buried with great pomp. The Arabs also loved and honor- ed the cat. It is related of Mohammed that he cut off the end of his mantle on which a cat was sleeping, rather than disturb her majesty, the holy cat, In the city of Nabeta prayers were offered to a beautful golden cat, perhaps an ancestor of the big yellow cat of our day. The cat has developed many varieties depending upon climatic conditions and environment. In our own land there are many types. Pure white Angoras are the most valuable cats to -day, yet many a plain home-grown Tabby who is loved by the whole family would not be given in exchange for one of these high-priced animals. MENDING WORN LINERIE Often lingerie blouses and corset covers wear under the arms when they may be in good condition otherwise. One satisfactory way to repair this sort of break is to set in a new piece. Use a dress shield as a pattern, mak- ing the pattern deeper and more of an oval than the seield. Lay this pattern to the wrong side of the blouse and see if it is the right shape and large enough to cover, ccmpletly, the weak spot. Anew piece of the . blouse material can then be set in with beading or lace, matching that on the blouse perhaps and outlining so that it will not have the appearance of a patch. A tear can often be disguised by set- ing insertion in, in that place, and in that way prolonging the life of a garment. Perhaps en almost new waist has been apparently spoiled by a burn or a a hole made with acid, or a disfigure- ment caused by a stain. See if there cannot be a medallion of some sort set in large enough to cover the bad place entirely. Unless the spot or hole comesin the middle, it may be necessary to set two medallions in -one on each side of the front. But do not try this sort of repairing unless you feel certain it will work out well. In this way of combining colors and materials in one garment, it may be possible to renew the old, worn places by the introduction of some contrasting Material.

There bud been no opening offered, and be was wondering if be shouldn't begin on the stock subject of the gas bill when the cat entered the room and began rolling about on the rug. There was his chance, and he exclaimed: "Now, then, what in thunder ails that old cat?" "Be acted like that this afternoon when Mrs. White was in here, and she said he wanted catnip," replied Mrs. Bowser. "Wanted entnip?" "):es, You kuuw what catnip is, don't you?" "I've Fendi of a plant, called catnip, hilt what has It to du with cats?" "A gond deal. At certain seasons of the year, particularly In the tall, outs are crazy for It.

What is there to call for such vigorous lan- guage?" "Our old cat conies up and rolls a round and nteotvs. and you tell me he wants catnip." "Well, what of it?" A I ecture on Catnip. "What of it? Are you trying to make me believe that because some Idiot named a certain phut catnip cants like it or must have it? Don't attempt to get funny, etre. Bowser!" "Cats love catnip, and everybody knows it,",she replied. "Your mother need to raise it tor her cats, and you ort ht to remember that she did. would a nail Bonne liking Here selling the plaint every week if eats didn't love it?" "And I say that catnip is a medicinal plant and is used to make punitive:: of. No human being ever saw a cat taste of it or ever' will; You might as well look for a cat to eat thistles or Fay.

Catnip: Catnip! I'll catnip thatoldif gives another veli.,"e cath Mrs. Bowser realized that argument would be of no avail, and she hail read a page or two in the magazine when Mr, Bowser returned to the attack. Re wanted the catnip . question settled then and there, and he wanted it set- tled In his favor. ''You have 'Made certain statements Abbot cats and catnip," he continued,. "and I want you either to back them up or admit that you were guying me. I want your authority for saying that catnip is grown for cats,l "There may be other lines for it as well, but everybody knows that cats love catnip. If a cat Is sick it is bet- ter after eating of the plant." "That won't do, Mrs. Bowser; that won't do at all. I have only your en - supported word. T must have more than that." "Then go Over and ask the druggist, the butcher -ask people on the street. It's a tinny thing. You were born on a farm' and lived on one until you were fifteen years old, and you must have been as familiar with catnip as with burdocks," He Goes to Prove It. "I may have, but that proves noth, Ing. I have oleo seen cats eating hay and corn acid oats and fish bones. I never make a positive statement to you without '&sing able to back it op.

"All that 1 can ,ay is that cats love catnip;" she replied, "You make that as a plain statement of fact, do you?" "1 do." "Then 1 will prove that you don't know what you are talking about and heed a guardian." Mr. Bowser clapped on his hat and took a walk. He knew his family butcher to be an ex -farmer„ and he called at his shop and looked around and then in a casual way inquired; "Jones, did you use to raise catnip on your farm?" "The old woman raised a few bunches -just enough for her cats," was the reply. "How for cats?" "Why, cats eat it like fun, particular- ly about this time of year. If you have a cat over home and she is ailing just let her get at a bunch of catnip." "And you stand there and tell me that catnip is so called because cats nip at it? "I have never beard any other rea- son." "Then you don't know enough to come in when it rains! Cats and cat. nip have no more to do with each oth. er than bulls and bulrushes. No won- der you can't tell bones from beef!" "I can tell a jackass when I see one!" exclaimed the butcher, and after glar- ing at him for a minute Mr. Bowser snorted in contempt and walked out. A farmer who had been selling pota- toes to the grocer on the corner was just about starting for home, and Mr. Bowser walked tip and asked him: "Say, friend, du you grow any catnip on your farm ?" "Not as a crop," smiled the roan. "Phew bow (10 you grow it?" "A few bunches in the garden for the cats," "But what hits it got to do with cats?" ' "Everything. You could have found that out by asking your wife." Mr. Bowser Is Beaten. Mr. Bowser felt like calling him names and getting up a row, but the agriculturist was in a hurry and was soon driving away. An old man who was leaning against a barrel had over- heard the conversation, and he now butted in with: "You must have lived in a catless country not to have heard about cat- nip." "Did I ask your opinion, sir?" "No, but when I find a man who doesn't know catnip 1 feel it my duty to post him. 1 wouldn't wander very far from home if I were you! You might get lost!" "You old villain! But for your gray hairs I'd -I'd"- And Mr. Bowser put his fist under the other's nose and held it there for a few seconds and then passed on. His family druggist was a proper man to appeal to, but it was ten minutes before the searcher after information entered the store. It was another ten before be asked: • "Doc, do cats eat catnip?" "Do cows eat grass?" answered the druggist. "But is it really true that they do?" "They love it. Catnip is for cats. Cats are for catnip. They are one and indivisible. You can bet your last dol- lar On that." "But I never heard of such a thing." "Probably not. I believe there are several things you never heard of. However, you can settle this thing very quickly. Here's a bunch of the stuff 1 bought for my cht today. She's wandered off somewhere, and you can take it along." Mr. Bowser took the bunch and walked off. He hadn't got ten feet from the door when a stray cat meow- ed at his heels. Bel'ore reaching the other end of the block the number was six. When within 100 feet of his gate it seemed as if•there were twenty wail- ing, meowing felines around him, all making threats against 'his life if he did not give up that bunch, and he suddenly became panic stricken and fled. "Well?" queried Mrs. Bowser as she opened the front door and found hint on the steps ht'eatbiug heavily. But he gazed steadily at the rising moon and made no answer. He had been defeated, but he meant to save his honor. 00000000 0 0 0000,00 00 0000 Bound to Lose.

GENEROSITY Old Kink's always willing to preach, and hand out wise council and teach; but ask him for aid when your hungry and frayed, and he'd stick to his wad like a leech. He's handy with proverb and text to comfort the needy and vex- ed; but when there's a plan to feed in- digent man, old Kink never seems to get next. He'll help out the widow with psalms, andpray for her fatherless lambs; but he never would try to bring joy to her eye with codfish and saner kraut and hams. On Sunday •he joins in the hymn, and make's the responses with vim; when they pass round the box for the worshippers's rocks, his gift is exceedingly slim. He thinks he is fooling the Lord and is sure of a princely reward when to Heaven he goes at this life's journey's close -with which view I am not in accord. For the Lord he is wise to gold bricks, and the humbug who crosses the Styx will have to be sharp if he captures a harp; St. Peter will say to him, "Nix!" They size up a man nearly right when he comes to the portals of light; and no stingy oldfraud ever thimblerigged God on put on a robe snowy white. WALT. MASON. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Ink stains may be removed from the fingers with tartaric acid. Don't throw away any cooked vege- tables, They make acceptable salads when combined with raw, fresh vege- tables, such as celery or lettuce. The use of colored cotton thread in basting makes it much easier to follow the seams accurately. To remove stains from linen -fruit or even coffee stains when there is cream in the coffee -rub the spots with pure glycerine. Let it remain on for some time, then rinse the linen in lukewarm water. Equal parts of powdered borax and well -pulverized moth -balls will exter- minate all kinds of roaches. Fare must be taken to remove all edibles, in order to have the roaches hungry. Raw cabbage is much more readily digested than cooked cabbage. The cabbage should be fresh, crisp andcold; then it should be finely shredded and dressed with French dressing. A little salt eaten and followed by -a glass of cold water, will often cure a sick headache.

Throne and Many Robes of Pest Sul- tans Aro Incrusted With Thousands of Gems -Privilege of Seeing Treas- ures Gained Only by Influence -- The Chamber Is Jealously Guarded at All Times. R. J. Turner, in an interesting ar- ticle in the London Academy headed "Turkey's Treasure House," discusses the marvelous collection of jewels and curiosities that are in a corner of the old illachern Palace, known as the treasury. "Here, in all conscience," says Mr. Turner, "is loot enough alone to jus- tify a triumphal entry into the ancient city of Constantine and to make the mouths water of the Bulgarian or Ser. viae hosts if they were permitted to cross the threshold of the treasure chamber. "In the time of Abdul Hamid ac- cess to this veritable cave of Abdullah was difficult to obtain. Ambassadorial intercession in the case of Europeans was necessary, and not always suc- cessful. Since the advent of Mahmud aucl the Your, Turk, viewing privi- leges have been extended, but the signature of the grand vizier is stili necessary to insure the unlocking of the famous portals. "The procedure for a private view is quite an affair. After passing the sen- tries at the gate of the old palace and reporting one's arrival in the court- yard, a stately procession of befezzed wed frock -coated officials, headed by a venerable Bede, issues from a side httilclin°_. The guard comes to atten- tion. Before the huge lcey is inserted in the lock the seal of the door is broken by the venerable one and care- fully borne away. A distinct effort is required to turn the lock. The door opens only to reveal another barrier which is as solemnly unlocked. The black -coated procession flows in and e"positions. ¢ talc , up strategic !Dario n.. "T1ie most striking object that meets the eye is the famous jeweled throne of one of the Sultan's ancestors, This, as well as a smaller throne in the same glass case, is thickly incrusted with pearls, diamonds and rubies. It would be difficult to estimate the number of stones, seine of which are of a fair size, but there must be many thousands, and the effect on the wal- nut -colored wood is barbaric in the extreme. Its value is estimated at from one to two millions sterling. Here and there one sees a vacant set- ting, whe -ce the stone has disappear- ed, probably passing into the posses- sion of some nimble fingered favorite of the Sultan, "Ranged around the room in cases is a long line of figures of Sultans in their jeweled rubes and turbans. Some of the vestments are literally stiff with precious stones, while to fasten the aieret of the turban a stupendous emerald or ruby is invariably utilized. At idea of the size of the erdinncy run of the stones may be a rasped by locking at half a email sized hen's egg placed on end. "The scabbard of each warrior's scimitar is elaborately ilierusted with similar etunes, with a specially large One on tete top of the hilt. The col- lection of swords is mavniiticent, but it is wh -n one comes to study the dagger's that one realizes the hate for- tunes embedded in such weapons. In some cases the entire haft is a ounlios- ed of one stone -an emerald or a ruby, as the case may be -that ie to say, a mass of eider about three inches long and one and•a half inches thick. Dis- played separately are some huge un- cut, but polished rubies and enterable, quite as large, to use a homely ex- pre;,ion, as an e.rdinary cake of toilet, snap.

"Still steadily outflanked by the black coated brigade another roam discloses a magnificent collection of coins from the Romans onward, while other cases contain brooches, earrings and ornaments bejeweled beyond the dreams of avarice.
