SHOPPING IN THE AIR, New Amusement That Is Much Enoour- aged by Economical Husbands.

A new phase in the aumsement of shop- ping has developed in this city which may prove a bonanza to economical husbands. One illustration will give an idea of its utility as a money saving scheme,

A gentile little woman, well dressed and with a pleasant, dreamy expression in her brown eyes, met a friend at one of the large department stores down town, She carried a list of shopping wares in her hand, to which she referred from time to time. When she had greeted her friend, she referred to this list.

‘*] want to find a mahogany stand first,” she said, ‘‘one that will hold a book of illustrations—something like a Chippen- dale, with spidery legs.’’

‘‘Is the house finished?’’ asked the friend in a low voice.

**Oh, yes, from basement to roof, and it is a beauty. Iam almost sorry it is done, it was such a pleasure to build it.’’

‘*You need not be in a hurry over the furnishing,’’ suggested the friend.

‘‘That is true. I thought I would mere- ly look up odd pieces today. When I be- gin with the curtains and carpets, it will take a long time. I want everything to correspond with the house.”’

They walked through the furniture de- partment of the store and found the table, but it was marked ‘‘Sold.’’

‘‘Have you another just like it?’’ asked the little woman, with breathless eager- ness.

*‘T can get one for you,’’ said the clerk.

‘*But it might not be an exact duplicate of this.’’

‘Then, madam, you need not take it.”

“Very well. You can get it for me on that condition. How soon can you have it?’’

“In a day or two. Will you give me your name and address?”’

But the customer objected to this and left the store, promising to return later. But she never did. She was shopping on new lines. The house she had built was one of imaginution solely, a castle in the air, and the furnishings were of the same vague order. It will take her six months to buy them and keep her from doing any real shopping where money must be expended, She is one of a large class of good housewives who live in rented homes and can never ):ave the actual experience of building and Stting upa house. And - they do not impose on the merchants any more than the regular shoppers who han- dle everything, but never purchase. It isa system that commends itseif as consistent and unique.—Chicago Times-Herald.

LERGYMEN MUST PAY.

New England Preachers Are Not Favored With Railroad Passes. ‘*Preachers who ride on railroad trains in New England are not favored with free | passes. They pay the same fare the gen- eral public is required to pay,’’ said W. E. Babcock, a railroad official cf Boston. ‘*‘All New England lines decided a long while ago Shat preachers should pay full fare. I don’t see why a man who is trying to save souls and draws $6,000 a year sal- ary for working one day. a week should be hauled about the country free of charge, while the poor devil who works six days a week must pay full fare. The custom of giving railroad passes to preachers origi- nated in the days of the carly settlements in various parts of the country when a min- ister traveled from place to place on a larize circuit and sometimes had no fixed salary, but accepted donations from the people. In those times the” se’ tlers were unable to donate liberal sums. So the railroads thought it no more than a proper spirit of benevolence to allow the preachers to ride free. But is there any valid reason these days for a minister of the gospel havy- ing a fine pastorate, drawing a coimforta- ble if not princely salary and living off the fat of the land—I say, is there any valid reason why such a fayored individual should expect to ride on a railroad train for nothing?’’—St. Leuis Globe-Democrat.

On the Orinoce,

Scrambling through a creek choked with bulrushes many times higher than our heads we climbed up the clay bank and attempted to push through the dense undergrowth in the direction of the tur- moil. More easily said than done.

The profound density of that tropical forest is indescribable. Thorns, palms, lianas and other creepers were bound to- gether in an elastic but impenetrable mass, and it was only by crawling on all fours that any progress was possible, Fearsome creatures, but half seen in the somber for- est shade, wriggled away through the ooze at our approach, and at each step swarms of mosquitoes rose from the decaying veg- etation, settling with determined ferocity on every available bare spot of skin. Once we ran our heads against what seemed a thick liana, but which, twisting rapidly away, proved to be a large anaconda, Un- fortunately he was out of sight before a rifle could be disentangled.

Suddenly a deep throated roar resound- ed in a tree just over our heads, and, look- ing up with tingling nerves, we found it had been emitted by nothing more formi- dable than a large gibbon, which, not being deemed worthy of powder and lead, was left unmolested, and, torn, bleeding, drip- ping with perspiration and half frantic from: mosquito poison, we returned a sor- ry spectacle to the leunch.—-Chambers’ Journal.
