The Duke de Twohig.

In those days it came to pass that Johnny,
Duke de Twohig) tried to play it on Jimmy
(Count of Converse). Now, Johnny was pos
sessed of many lots and was baldheaded.
Thereupon he said unto himself: "Yea,
verify, will cajole the count into building his
depot upon my lands; then will l raise my
lots unto $500 and bust the railroad" There
upon he smote his thigh and was tckled
nightly. Now, Jimmy, who was not a
stranger in the land, builded him shed on the
ground of Twohig and he labelled it ''The
Depot" and Johnny raised his lots unto $500
and the railroad busted not, for 10! and be-
hold! Jimmy bought broad acres on the banks
of the great river and will place his depot
thereon, and he goeth into the lot business
himself. and there is wailing and crashing of
two and half teeth in the house of Johnny
he soaketh his head and weeps, while Jimmy
placeth his thumb on his nose endwise and
waggeth his fingers Justify.

AHabit Peculiar to Women.

New York sun.
A man at one Of the Fulton Ferry windows
on the New York side at noon yesterday
looked at two CONS that proud beauty had
placed upon the black walnut board before
him, and, perceiving that they were moist,
said: "Merciful heavens what is to become
of a nation none of whose women can take a
few pennies out of pocketbook without first
transferring them TO her mouth? have not
kept an exact count, but that's about the
thousandth woman who has done that to-day.
About four out of every five that pass through
the gate are certain to do it. What makes me
madden than anything else is the age at which
they begin. More than half the little girls of
six or seven years of age have the habit, and
it comes as natural to women of older growth
as it does for them to turn and look at one
another's clothing"

The Beautiful Land of Nod.

Come, cuddle your head on my shoulder, my
dear,
Your head like the golden rod;
And we will 60 sailing away from here
To the beautiful Land OF Nod.
Away from life's hurry and furry and worry,
Away from earth's shadows and gloom,
We will sail off together to a world OF fair
weather,
Where roses are always in bloom.
Come, shut your eyes and fold your hands,
Your hands like the leaf of rose;
And We will go sailing to those fair lands
That never al atlas shows.
On the north and the west they are bound by
rest,
On the south and east by dreams,
It's the country ideal where nothing is real,
But everything only seems
Come, drop down the curtain of your dear
eyes,
Your eyes like the bright blue-bell;
And will sail out under star-lit skies
To the land where the fairies dwell.
From the river of sleep our bark shall sweep
Till it reaches the mystic isle
Which no man hath seen, yet where all have
been,
And there we will pause awhile.
will Groom you song as we drift along
To that shore that is blessed of God;
Then no! for that beautiful land,
We're off for that rare land,
That beautiful Land Of Nod.

THE DIFFERENCE IN MEN.

One man has every thing that is necessary to

mand, influential friends, wealthy relatives
ever ready to endorse his paper,-pcrhaps
steps into an established bushes, and yet in Il
short time ne fails. Another has none of these,
advantages and yet i'm short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment. One of
these latter individuals is our enterprising
merchant, j. NJ. Emerson. When asked by us
to what he attributed his success in business he
replied, that il was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions; by advertis
ing and giving the public just what he adver-
tised, and by not asking too much for any arti-
Gle in his stock, ALSO by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. In other words should a little child
though the highest and lOftiest person were
No doubt Mr.. Emersons views are correct

have noticed through all time an alliance
offensive and defensive by the moralist and the
ugly woman against the woman OF easy virtue.
These, with the desire of injuring the lady OF
easy virtue, accuse her of exercising an evil
influence over the salaries and heritages oil
young men. These poor people 1.-THE moralist
and the homely woman) ignore that it is pre-
cisely the charming role of the lady of easy
virtue that restores to the mass of laborers the
money which the capitalist makes as his profit.
The day that France succumbed to the
triple coalition of English gold, the Russian
cold and the failure of the grain crop, who re-
established her in six weeks? OF the 1900,
600 francs Of indemnify France was forced to
pay, those to whom she paid it did not retain a
cent oft. IT. equivalent went to these charming
ladies, on whom the soldiers of Europe threw
away their gold. And it was not the moralist
and the ugly woman who restored trade and
brought capital into the country.

HeaIthfuI Bread.

The famous LeipSic physician, Prof. Reclaim
in a late number Of the Gesundheit, has ven
tured to say good word on behalf of newly
baked bread. The majority of old people,
dyspeptics and hypochondriacs, he observes,
saw that they can only eat stale bread; they
find new bread too indigestible. The virtue,
he tells them, is not in the staleness OF the
bread, but in the care and thoroughnesS with
which they are compelled to mastcate it, on
account of its hardness. The tongue not only
deceives the human race in speaking, says the
learned physician: il is a great deceiver in
eating. As soon as the tongue perceives that
any morsel in our mouth is soft and welding,
we are persuaded that it may safely be
swallowed. No time or labor is spent
on its justification. Hence so many peo-
pie declare that sauer kraut, soft cakes,
nate de foe gras, eel and other favorite deli
cacies of the Teuton, do not agree with them.
The professor declares that none of these are
actually indigestible in themselves. As with
new bread, il is the case with which they are
swallowed which makes them indigestible.
Stale bread and hard biscuit, on the other
hand, are not Of themselves inherently so very
digestible; but they give the eater so much
trouble TO soften them that they are not sw2!-
lowed until they have been reduced into fit
condition for that process. Hence the stom-
ach has not that trouble with them which it
almost invariably has with the softer and more
delicate food which has never received more
than two or three turns with the teeth. Rapid
eating and insufficient chewing are the two
worst foes Of the majority OF dysPeptics and
hypochondriacs.
