Misplaced BenevOlence.

A one-legged man stood in dark
doorway on Clark street last evening.
He leaned heavily on his crutches, and
looked weary and discouraged as he
gazed at the passing people. Presently
a tall man. with long hair and benev-
client eve, halted near by and observed
him pitingly.
There. my friend. is % cents for
you." said the tall man. patronizingly.
as he pulled coin out of his pocket
and held it toward the one-legged man
with something of flourish.
What's it FORE inquired the de-
spondent cripple, in to ne of surprise.
1T will buy you supper" said the
tall man grandly. Promise me you'll
not spend it for drink"
kind of you, I'm sure" murmured
the weary one-legged man. ''Call here
in the morning and hand it to the cashier
or one of the clerks"
why, are you not -" stammered
the tall man.

said the cripple, quietiy."I am trying to

Why Sick People Drink Tea.

Why is it that those who are sick or
convalescing from sickness ask for and
relish cup of tea? Why is it, again.
that physicians will so often recommend
tea and forbid coffee? Plainly. the an
swer is because tea is the most whole
some beverage. and in this respect ex-
GELS coffee. But while the use of tea is
increasing, there is one class of the
community who do not realize the adj
vantages that tea offers them; and that
class is the very poor in purse. who re-
gard tea as a luxury that they cannot
afford. when, if they did but know it,
they could not afford to do without tea.
1t is the general use of tea that will save
many doctors bill. 1t is tea that as
sists digestion, and it is tea that makes
ones beefsteak go farther. In this re-
spect it is positive economy, and it is
not always the lowest priced article that
is the cheapest. Quality in tea means
strength and flavor. and it is much bet
ter and cheaper to buy good tea at a
fair price than to get the very low in
price; and it is good tea that the poor
man wants.-Scientifc american.

There are two members of the House
who have twin brothers who greatly
resemble them. The Legislators who re-
ioice in duplicates are Phil Thompson.
Of Kentucky, and Representative Horr,
Of Michigan. 1t is not an unusual thing
for MIR. Thompson's brother to find him
self gathered by the arm BY one of the
Hon. Pills Democratic colleagues and
dragged in on the floor of the House,
and the Injunction Numbered in his ear,
''Why the dickens don't you get in your
seat and vote? Our bill is upon its pas
sage"
The other day Mr. Horr' brother APP
preached the main door of the House.
and the polite Democrat in charge
promptly snatched open the green baize
door and bowed him in on the House
floor. The Michigan twin strolled over
to his brothers seat, sat down. and took
part in all the opening ceremonies of
the legislative day except that he failed
to answer the roll call. Representative
Reed, of Maine, who has some peculiar
way of identifying the Horr brothers,
concluded he would have little fun,
and slipped over and posted the Door
keeper. That functionary stalked over to
the desk of the Michigan Statesman, aud
informed the intruder that he must come
out. But" said the occupant of the
chair. nv name is Horn; I'm from Mich
igan." The Democratic DoOrkeeper
looked hard at the intruder. and would
have weakened had not Mr.. Reed made
signs for him to go ahead; that it was all
right. '.But you are not Representative
Horr," said the guardian of the House,
land you must come outside" just
then the real Representative of the
Eighth Michigan District came in, and
the Doorkeeper glared at the two in evil
dent dismay. '.All right" said Repre-
sentative Horn. to his brother; ..you go
outside and I'll come out and talk to
you.n As the twin passed out the Door
keeper took a sort of mental photograph
of him with his eyes. and said 10 his
chum: s.I'll be bowed if he comes that
game on me again" In moment or
two Mr.. Horr left the floor and joined
his brother in the corridor. After they
had finished their chat the Representa-
tive said to his brother: "You 90 in
now and take nv seat again" As he
passed the portal the Doorkeeper smiled
confidently and said: "All right, sir, l
know which is which now" When cit
izen Horr was again in his brothers
seat, Mr.. Reed again beckoned to the
Doorkeeper and said: ''Great heavens.
you've let the wrong man in again. !"
and then pointed to Representive Horr,
who was coming in from another door.
The bewildered Doorkeeper looked at
the two Horrs, and then IS the cold
sweat gathered on his brow. he stam-
mered out: For Heavens sake, mark
'em some way, or I'm likely to turn the
other fellow in caucus any night. y

To eat supper just before going to bed is
a great aid toward getting aeshy. The
food so taken goes all to lat. A nap after
each meal is also conducive to the same
great end, but gentle exercise should be
taken between meals to promote appetite.
Large doses Of fresh air, avoidance OF en-
vious thoughts, eutirc contenlment with
ones lot in lie, ones children, husband,
relatives and friends, complete selE.satis-
factlon-all are conducive to the same
great end. There is one great advantage
derived iron the craze on fat or not lat.
It is q poor rule that don't work both
ways, and many Of the laws for
gaining or losing flesh are the same
and are great health prompters. The ior-
nation OF tennis, skating, swimming and
walking clubs, the patronizins OF them by
both stout and thin alike, is adding greatly
to the death OF our women. The role OF
is no longer fashionable and it is
considered rather q renroach be delicate.

Small waists and feet, or rather shoes. are

them beautiful and strong enough to stand
