Men OF the World.

The thoughts of worldly men are for
ever regulated by a moral law OF gravit-
alton, which like the physical one, holds
them down to earth. The bright glory
of day and the silent wonders OF a star
lit night appeal to their minds In vain.
There are no signs in the sun or In the
moon, or in the stars for their reading
They are like some wise men, who,
learning to know each planet by its
Latin name, have quite forgotten such
small heavenly consultations as charity,
forbearance, universal love and mercy,
although they shine by night and day
SO brightly that the blind may see them;
and who, looking upward at the spangled
sky, see nothing there but the reflection
of their own great wisdom and book
learning. 1t is curious to imagine these
people of the world, busy in thought,
turning there eyes toward the countless
spheres that shine above us, and make
ing them reflect the only im"ges their
minds contain. The man who lives but
in the breath of princes has nothing in
his sight but stars for courtiers breasts.
That envious man beholds his neighbors'
honors even in the sky; to the kmoney
hoarder, and the mass Of worldly folks,
the whole great universe above giitters
with sterling coin, fresh from the mint,
stamped with the sovereign's head, al
ways coming between them and heaven,
turn where they may. So do the shad-
ows of our own desires stand between US
and our better angels, and thus bright
ness is eclipsed.

Knee Breaches.

We devoutly hope that the above style
of garment will not become the proper
thing in dress. Nature has not specially
designated us as the proper figure TO fill
out pair of knee breeches, and an all
wise Providence did not select us as the
man to wear se-ftting wardrobe.
This is the only striking difference be-
tween ourself and the lamented Wash
ington, deceased.
In the first place, it is moral impos-
sibility for us to maintain a'friendly feel
ing and q close relation between our
knee breeches and stockings. A garter
that would be tight at the knee gener-
ally slides down over the concave calf
and hangs on the instep like the inter-
fering machine that trotting horse
wears. The garter has always been
mystery, snare, and a delusion to us.
1t does not match our complexion.
Once we wore knee breeches and long
white stockings at a masquerade. Later
we took off the mask because it was hot
and uncomfortable, and because it was
hollow mockery. When man has
knee joint like the sheet-iron
elbow of an old-fashioned stovepipe and
a calf like lead pencil, it is useless for
him to mask his face.
Knee brooches are made for men who
are aesthetic, and who walk a good deal.
Sedentary men either get too fat or too
lean, and they do not create good inn
preston in this style of garment.
Then, toe, the foot should have n SYM
metrical shape in order to match this kind
of apparel A flat, long foot with alb
normal heels and stupendous bunions on
it does not fit this peculiar garb. 1t
looks out of place and SUI gereris, as it
were.
Another reason for strong opposition
on the part of the press relative to the
knee pants is the fact that the ladies,
who are now rapidly adopting the mod
ern changes in mems apparel, will, of
course, take up with this one We do
not feel, as husband and father, like
charging upon this aspect of the mat
ter. We never can write about any sub
ject when we are in pain. We must still
this heartache before we can proceed.
To resume: We deem it bad enough
for mankind to wear pantaloons that bag
at the knee when we sit down, without
embracing garment which will open at
the knee like Soldene smile when we
take chair.
Knee breeches can meet with no cor
diality on our part. We cannot hold out
our hand in friendly, heartfelt welcome
to q wardrobe that makes slim man look
like the memory Of a lost cause.-Bill
Nue.

How George Sand Took Her Name.

Together with Jules Sandeau she set
TO work. They labored hard and fast;
with her energy and perseverance she
knew no fatigue; her example stimulat-
ed her less industrious companion. AT
the end of few weeks they surprised M.
Delatouche by presenting him the
manuscript of u complete novel, Crosse
ct Blanche, on In Coincidence ct la
Religieuse." The good man introduced
them to publisher, and they received
the sum of four hundred francs for the
work.
1t is the old story 80 often repeated;
they wanted bread, and they wrote a
book.
Meanwhile the youngauthoress sought
a legal separation from her husband,
and was compelled to revisit Berri.
Before departing she arranged with her
literary partner the plot of new novel,
a certain portion of which he was to
have finished by her return. Jules
Sandeau, however, neglected this; and
perhaps it was just as well he did, for
when she returned she produced the
story complete. 1t was called "Indiana.
However, it lay for some time. "Rose
ct Blanche" had not been so successful
as It's authors anticipated; but by and by
the volume fell into the hands of IL pub
Usher who, liking the style sought out
Jules Sandeau in his garnet. From him
he learned that Mime. Dudevant had
written half the book, and had, more
over, manuscript novel lying by, which
was offered him. This the publisher ac-
cepted. She declared it should be pub
lished under the same name as their first
book; but to this Jules Sandeau would
not agree. He had not written page
of it, and refused sharing the fame which
he foresaw it would bring her. She,
generous and impulsive, insisted; he still
declined. Then the publisher interfered.
Said he: "Sand is name common to
many; cannot you choose another Christ
ian name? Wait, here is the calendar.
All, it is the 23d of April, the day of the
English st. George. Call yourself
George Sand, and it is finished,
madame"
And so the name, destined to become
one of the greatest of literature, went
out to the world. Chance has not
unfrequently determined name.
The book was a great success; the
public received IL with enthusiasm; the
publisher gave her twelve thousand
francs for it; to her it was O fortune,
her name was made.

The COrk-Screw.

In 1926, an attempt was made by an
enterprising publisher In Cork, named
Bolster, to give Ireland literature
peculiar to her own. Some of the liter
att of the South of Ireland expressed
their willingness to second the enter
prise, but they all felt that the assist
ance of Mr.. Shiel was essential. To pain
his aid Bolster made a pilgrimage to
Dublin and laid the matter before him.
Mr.. Shiel approved of the plan, men,
toned several subjects on which he
would write, and finally put the bust
ness question: GLOW much per sheet?"
Bolster, somewhat embarrassed, said he
could not promise any remuneration as
yet, but that az soon as the thing was
success Mr.. Shiel should be remember
ed. 81 am afraid" said Shiel. shaking
his head, "that your terms will not suit
me. But, as you did me the honor to
ask me to write for your magazine,
would like to do something for you. In
stead of calling your magazine 'Bolster's
Irish Magazine, would suggest, con-
sidering the place from whence it is to
come and your manner of conducting
business, that you call it the Cork
Screw"

Mr.. Vanderbilt's Joke.
London Times.1

A number of friends invited Mr..
Vanderbilt to take dinner at the League
House, and when the champagne had
been reached and the party had come
to that state of jollity which begets
familiar pleasantly, Mr.. Vanderbilt of
fered to bet any or all the gentleman
present that they could not guess with.
in five dollars of the price of the suit
of clothes he had on. OF course there
were plenty of takers. Most of the
gentlemen out of politeness and for
other obvious reasons named a higl
figure. from SIS to S125. "Well," sale
Mr.. Vanderbilt. leisurely, after the bets
had all been made, 81 guess I'll take
this pool. Ny suit cost me precisely
S25." The party laughed at this unex-
pected denouement, and Mr., Wander
bilt's economical tailor was heartily
toasted. All this goes to show that
Mr.. Vanderbilt is a man of cheerful
disposition and fond enough of fun to
lay down some of the cares of business
and enjoy himself as . man of his means
should.

"How does a rhinoceros act?" asked
the old man, thinking that he would
catch her on natural history.
"Acts like fool, that's how he acts"
and Mrs. Wickle walked rapidly away,
leaving the old man several PAGES be-
hind. He finally caught up, just as a
young man came walking along.
"You are walking pretty fast" said
the old gentleman.
His wife didn't say anything.

The old lady made no reply, but the
young man took in the situation.
"You old villainl" he exclaimed, ad-
dressing Mr.. Wickle, "what do you
mean by attempting to thrust your
company upon a lady who does not
want you? It's becoming too frequent
for ladies to be insulted on the streets
by loafers. Get backp'
The young man struck at Wickle.
The old lady dubbed her umbrella, and
exclaiming "That's my husband" gave
the young man an undignified blow.
The old man, encouraged by his
wife's strike for the union, jumped on
the young man and held him while the
rafting ribs of the umbrella fell on tho
youths head with a sound like the fall
ing of hail stones.

nestle felicity" said his wife, after the
battle.
"No. SIR" said the old man. "When

happiness of my household he catches

A YOUNG, rich, and pretty widow in
London, with plenty of animal spirits.
and in want of some innocent amuse-
ment, hit on the original plan of
inscribing her name in the books
of matrimonial agency as a
wealthy but blind candidate for matri-
mony. The number of suitors was
legion, and the young widow amused
herself TO her hearts content. Some
came in shabby clothes, some stretched
themselves at full length on the sofa and
made themselves quite at home, but
spoke in tones of the deepest affection.
The charming widow was, however, soon
obliged to cut the joke short, for one Of
her suitors, after annexing pair of can
dlesticks introduced q bunch of long
fingers into her pocket and distracted
her purse.

how little ground there is for the wild
declarations made about Senator

Senator Cameron urging the nom

Davies. They would further have seen
Senator Cameron for Butler for

Cameron is entitled to his preferences

trolls the opinions of the intelligent re-
