A Neat RetOrf.

One of the neatest retorts ever made in
Cambridge, Mass.-not a bad soil for
good things-was a brief response lately
given by a young lady to an under gradu
ate who offered her with some hesitation,
his seat in the horse-car. She got in
with an old companion. The car was
crowded, and two young men sat n9ar.
One gave his seat at once to the elder lady;
the other kepthis place. His friend asked
him-disguising it, however, in German
why he did not give his place to the
young lady. He answered in the same Ian
guage: Because she is not pretty
enough" After a little reflection, how
ever, he, too, arose and surrendered his
seat. The young lady took it, and thank

A Clever Trick.

DR.. Haufc, tn celebrated physician of
Vienna, one uay received Telegram from
Cracow, requesting him to repair thither
with all haste, as Moses Abrahamson was
verJ ill, and required advice. This Moses
was known to be one of the richest men
of his tribe. The doctor, who had an
enormous practice and was very busy at
the time, wired back
"My fee will be two thousand FORMS.
A second dispatch urged him to come
without delay, but added that he might
surely do it for less. =
"Not a kreutzer less n two thousand
FORMS" WAS the rep4 from Vienna;
whereupon a final telegHm cameto hand,
directing the phy5icit u % come at once.
1t was the depth o. atnter and bitterly
cold, so that the med-al man was any
thing but pleased at ne prospect of the
long Journey. But V at was his disgust
on being met at the Cfacow railway sta
ton by a deputation ofqong-coated Polish
Jews, bringing the things that ne came
too late, as Moses APe'hamson had died
a few hours before, 11N
As there was no tllfn back to Vienna
that dav, he was peiAo'rce compelled to
put up for the night lei a hotel. Mean
while the news Of thu great doctors ar
rival had spread thrC9lgh the town, and
sick people of every. description, both
Jews and Christians, ,nbesieged his door.
SO many afflicted r .rsons touched his
compassionate heart, Rnd he freely gave
them the advice thcN;needed: When at

to step into the cabbage, a Polish jew

The Significance Of Rings.

1t is understood that a gentleman who
desires to marry wears a plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger of the left
hand. When he becomes engaged the
ring passes to the second finger. After
marriage 1t passes to the third finger. If,
however, the gentleman desires his lady
friends to clearly understand that he is
not lin the market and does not wish to
marry at all, he wears the signet upon his
little finger. This will inform all the ladies
that he is beyond reach. With the ladies
8 plain or chased gold ring on the little
finger of the left hand indicates mot en-
gagged" or ''ready for an offer" When
engaged the ring passes to the third fin
ger of the right hand. When married
the third finger on the left hand receives
the ring. When a young lady desires to
defy all suitors she places ~rings-one on
the first and one OF the fourth ingr.

A Clever Rehuke.

A good story is told of a prominent
member of society who has a habit of
tying a knot in her pocket handkerchief
when she wishes to fix anything in her
mind which must be attended to. She
was engaged in a desperate Irritation on
a certain occasion, and in her abstraction
d opped her handkerchief on the floor.
This was noticed by her hostess, who en-
dcavored to break up the Irritation by in
viting her guest into another part OF the
house. AS the latter rose from her chair
she stopped and picked up her handker-
chief, noticing, as she did SO, the knot
tied in one corner. ":What have [ for
gotten today" she asked audibly. That
you havea husband, " replied the hostess.
The story was repeated, and the lady,
who is a we'll known member of the di-
pIomatic circle, always keeps her hand
kerchief free from knots now.

The VVseOtes, Loaf

Good wheat bread and butter is the
staff of civilized life. Take away
wheat bread aud butter from our
families for a few generations, and
who is prepared to say that civilization
would not glide easily to a state OF
barbarism? There is sound philoso-
ply in this suggestion; because there
is no other kind of human food that is
so admirably adapted to the develop
ment of the human frame, including a
noble brain, as good wheat bread.
Civilization has seemed to keep pace
with the production of wheat, and re-
fined society the world over has
seemed to exist coeval with the wheat
en- loaf.
We find the lowest order Of intelll,
gences standing on a potato. Only
one step above this class, another or
der is found on a hee-cake. One de-
gree above this we meet with the class
that has risen in the scale of being as
high as il is possible for mortals to
rise on a pancake. Head and shout
ders above all these classes We find the
highest order of intelligences, with
large and Well-developed brains and
noble characters, standing securely on
their wheaton loaf. No other food
can excel the wheaton loaf. because II

It's Awful Swell.

1.-THE society women of New York
are very quick to catch the fashion,
specially il it be English" said a
Wellknown English actor as he stood
In front of the Windsor hotel, yester-
ny, while watching the stream of
carriages that rolled toward the park.
Nearly every victoria that passed was
occupied by n orstwo ladies, and in
every instance they held their parasols
In both hands, straight up and down
in front of their faces, and within an
inch of the tip of their noses. Their
oands and arms were in precisely the
position in which a soldier places his
when he presents arms. 1t impresses
The observer at first with the idea that
ile worna is afraid that the parasol
will blow out Of her hands if she does
not hold it firmly.
do you see how common the fash
ion isl" continued the actor. "Well,
hat is all the result of the prince Of
Wales trip through Ireland. American
ladies' formerly carried their parasols
gracefully and easily while driving,
but when the illustrated London pa
pers came over here with pictures of
the princess Of Wales and her escort
driving about the Irish cities and
holding their parasols like 1agstaffs, an
instantaneous change swept over New
York, and within a month all the wo-
men were carrying their parasols as
lhe princess of Wales carried hers.
And it's awful swell, too, don't you
think ?"-NeW York Sun.
