Strayed Away,

From the Detroit Free Press.
The young man with two watch chains
across his vest boarded a Woodward avenue
car at II o'clock yesterday forenoon. Among
the passengers was an old woman who had
been inquiring about taking the Bay City train
at the crossing. She looked across at the
young man with great interest for minute or
two and then said
"Your time must be very valuable, young
man."
lie bowed and mumbled something which
she could not catch, and, leaning forward, she
asked
81 s'pose one o. them watches is for when
you 60 down and the other is for when you
come up, Ell !"
He shifted around to look out Of the win
dow, and seeming somewhat vexed at his
want OF courtesy, she continued
Seems to me it would be cheaper to hitch
an eight-day clock to your shirt bosom"
He didn't reply to that, either, and tapping
him on the knee with the handle Of her UNI.
brella, she inquired:
young man, want to catch the Bay City
train"
"Yes'm."
"What time is it by all your watch chainsH
"I-I-about IL !" he stammered.
"You didn't look. Come, now, here's an
old bulls eye that's been in the family 4S
years and never had an inch of brass chain
hitched to it. I'll bet ii shows the right time
nearer than anything you've got"
She hauled out a watch almost as large as
saucer and ratified il around and waved it
about, and as she slid along the seat towards
the door she continued
"I'd let them chains run down and hitch to
your boo'-s'Iaps Any young man as will
go and toggle himself all up and criss-cross
his vest with chains and spangles must have
| got strayed away from some IS cent store
and wants TO be identified and returned. Have
you got baked Eaters hitched 10 the pocket
ends? Say"
But he dropped off and fell down and got
up and got away before she could further
abuse him.

thinks that probably the language spoken by
Christ was Greek, as Hebrew was a dead
language at the time Of his mission on earth.
lie also says that the people of Palestine at
that time spoke Aramac and Greek, the latter
being the language of the civilization of that
age. Another scholar comes forward and
says that the Hebrew became dead language
during the Babylonian captivity, and that the
Chaldaic took its place with the Hebrews,
the Hebrew became the Sanskrii, (called Lo-
sonhakodresh), of the Jewish hierarchy, and
the learned Rabbonim. In the days Of our
Saviour the Jewish hierarchy and the learned
and cultured people spoke both the classic
Greek and the Latin. The language, however,
which was spoken by the masses was the
Syro. Chaldaic, which was the language in
which Saint John the Baptist, Jesus Christ
and his apostles spoke and preached to the
common people. This was the language Of
the Targums, and also OF the Talmud."

1t is natural for men 20 love women-they
can't help it; but they wouldn't be men II they
didn't love themselves the best. If a youth
has SIS he is willing to spend so on his sweet
heart, but he wants to spend the other 81 50
on himself. The lesson for girls to learn is
only to demand the 50 cents. Seriously
speaking, however, a lady Of delicate and
womanly tastes will not expect expensive
presents from gentlemen. If lady wishes to
command the respect and admiration Of her
gentlemen friends she will not permit them to
II they are wealthy they will understand her
delicacy, il they are poor they will appreciate
her thoughtfulness. By accepting such cour-
tesies as she will be able to return she can
preserve her independence, will place herself
under no obligations and will have nothing to
regret in future years.

What is it that makes all those men who
habi,ually associate with women superior to
those who do not : Solely because they are
in the habit Of free graces, continued CONVEX
sations with the other sex. Women in this
way lose their frivolity, their faculties are
awakened, their delicacies and peculian,ies
unfold all their beauty and captivation in the
way of ellectual rivalry. And the men lose
their pedantic, declamatory, or sulen manner.
The coin Of the understanding and the heart
changes continually. Their asperties are
rubbed off, their better materials polished and
frightened, and their riches, like gold, is
wrought into finer workmanship by the, fin
gers Of women than it ever could be by those
OF men. The iron and steel of their character
are hidden, like the character and armor Of a
gent, by studs and knots of gold and precious
stones, when they are not wanted in actual
warfare.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There has been a sudden boom in hot
water cocktails. Nobody knows where the
boom started, but it certainly is in full swing.
The correct thing in the morning, when the
man is in the prosaic and uncomfortable con-
dition known as "big head" is to take hot
water cocktail. The drink consists OF hot
water in an ordinary glass and is gulped
down at a single toss. The blandness with
which bartenders charge IS cents for it has
not been equaled by any extortion of the
kind known in recent years. 1t is said TO be
a very healthy drink, but its popularity is
probably only due to the passing summer
fancy.

A PROMINENT and successful merchant,
Mr.. Bullene, of the firm OF Bullene, Moores &
Emery, Of Kansas City, was asked If he ad-
vertised in newspapers alone. He replied
" Certainly, the newspaper is the only proper
medium for a live merchant to employ. When
you find a merchant attempting to do business
without advertising in the newspapers you can
make up your mind he is not very anxious for
customers. The people read the newspapers
now-a-days." Then being asked il he adver-
tised the year round he said; eyes, sir.
Our contracts are for six months and year.
The dull season is the very time to advertise,
you know. Our policy is to put as much
money iato newspaper advertising as into
store expenses-that is, rent and light. All
the successful merchants Of to-day owe their
success to legitimate newspaper Advertising"
WHILE there is but little being said about
the chances OF visit from the cholera, il is a
noticeable fact that the sanitary boards of the
cities South and East are earnestly at work in
an endeavor to clean up and protect the
health Of the communities under their charge.
San Antonio is justly entitled to the reputa-
ton it has always enjoyed, and while it
is the most healthy city in Texas, yet in view
OF the extreme hot and dry weather of the
past six weeks, it is well that every precaution
should be taken. Beyond the work done by
the city seavenGeri, no other preparation or
cleaning up is observable in the city, and
while the advice is purely gratuitOus, yet the
LIGHT would suggest that the Board Of
Health take quiet trip around and through
the city and see II there is not an opportunity
for some little improvement in its sanitary
condition.
