TIE KIND or MRN WHO EASCxNAEB

A curious study Is the consideration
OF the kind Of men who iascinase women.
I have known . man, o fellow with the
head and hair d tramp, and the dress
OF . doctor with lean practice, . per-
son who wriggled like snake when be
walked and had q clammy hand, yet
this person was q perfect woman killer.
One girl was betrothed to him for three
years, a-d then he Tilted her coldly for
new flame. The new love afair ended
with tragedy, for when ID turn he
shook the new love Of, the restless,
grlef-stricken girl ended her troubles for
ever in aneighboring river. There were
other women who loved the fellow al
most as desperately, although they con-
soled themselves more easily. VIVA.
they could ever see in the man TO fall in
love with passeth understanding.
There was another great lady killer,
too. who seemed TO melt women's hearts
as hot roller melts butter. He prom
lsed to be one Of the great men Of the
country, and women bowed down and
worshiped his supposed Intellectual
powers. There were Ave romantic
school girls in love with him at once, If

NEWSPAPER BORROWERS.

An exchange recently published q let
ter from lady subscriber in which she
complained bitterly Of the annoyance
she experienced from the habit her fe-
male neighbors had Of constantly bor-
rowing her paper. The exchange failed
to advise her on the subject, and, as the
matter is serious one, we have our
selves looked about for some method Of
relief, and now think we can offer thu
suffering lady, and oil others similarly
situated, an adequate means of succor.
Here is our plan Let the lady imme-
.diately upon receiving her paper care
fnliy cut from itsome itsm-it makes no
particular difference what 1t is-most
any item will do only let it be neatly and
carefully removed from the paper. Then
the following procedure will be sure to
ensue: In a few moments the neigh
boris boy will come after the paper-he
will take it homo-within three minutes
he will emerge from the house, he will
scoot down street and very shortly re-
turn with folded newspaper Of the
same date as the one just borrowed.
By the time the clipped paper has
circled round among the female borrow
ers, the streets will be lively with hurry
ing boys, and the revenue OF the news
paper will be materially increased Not
one woman among them would be able
to sleep wink without knowing Just ex-
actly what that cut-out item was. The
next day tho lady must pursue the same
course, and similar results will surely
follow. In an extremely obstinate neigh
borhood these proceedings have to be
repeated three or four days, but no
longer. By that time the lady will be
able to read her paper in peace, and the
newspaper finances will be the gamer
through several new Subscribers. The
rule is infallible wherethe borrowers are
females, but it can't be vouched for in
the case of men. There isn't that inher-
ent curiosity to work upon, You know,
and-and-but perhaps we are getting
little too deep. -

fatigue Of the eye when reading by the
aid Of artificial light is due more to the
want Of light than the excess, for the
pupils are more dilated in room brill
iantly illuminated than they are by day

the muscles controlling the mechanical
part Of the organ Of vision. He suggests
that, as the electric light contains a
large proportion Of chemical rays, the
remedy may be found IN the use Of
yellow-tinted globes for the lamps. It
does not seem to have occurred 70 the
physicist that what is wanted is an cleo
trio lamp capable Of dinnsing the light

When the foghorns are dismally boom
