Worth, the man dressmaker of Paris,
does not find the republic 10 his fixing,
and everybody can easily understand
why. In addition 10 the simple man
ners which have been thought becom-
ing for republic, Worth is no longer
unrivalled in his special field. There
are other men dressmakers who are
thought TO be better, and who do not
make dresses for actresses and so get
themselves talked about In the news
papers. Strangely enough, while IL is
the republic of France which almost
destroys Worth, 1t is the republic OF
the United States which saves him

The Meanest Man in the World.

vi all the mean characters that have
come under our observation, the mean
est OF all is the dyspeptic cynic, 10
whom grumbling has become q second
nature, The weather is always too hot
or TOO dry; the meat is too rare or too
thoroughly cooked, too fat or too lean
in short he grumbles about every
thing from his coffee to Congress. lie
is always in want of something he hns
not, and forever discontented with
whatever he ha-. Oontrariness is b;s
distinguishing trait. If his wife desires
10 spend the evening with q friend he
insists upon staying at home. He warns
all ms bachelor friends to beware of
matrimony. His brain is so full of
whims and crotchets, there is little room
TOR reason or sense. But the dyspeptic
cynic reaches the acme of disagreeable-
hess when diseased liver has supple
mented the grumbling by hypochon-
dria. Then the slightest unpleasant
circumstance is magnified into some
thing momentous and terrible. The
victim becomes distrustful of his best
friends, and all sorts of imaginary evils
haunt the weakened brain. This pic
ture is not overdrawn, as thousands of
homes can attest-homes in which do
mostic happiness and harmony have
been wrecked by-nothing more than
a dyspeptic and chronic disease of ,thc
liver. Given sound stomach and a
healthfnl liver and the results will al
most invariably be health and cheer
