near East Madison recently, he was run
into by yoke of cattle loose in the road
and his wagon and himself badly injured.

better drop around and see him or he may

All admit that

Misunderstood.

Two young lawyers made a dying
trip up North the other day. One is
stout and roseate, the other pale, ca
daverous, and of the proportions of a
stOvepipe. The business for which
they had set forth being accomplished
they passed leisure hour with brother
lawyers in the sample room of the no
tel. Soon the party became somewhat
mellow, and as time grew apace the
stout gentleman grew more roseate
and good natured, while his Specter-
like companion grew more bOisterOus
and ill-patured, finally reaching such a
bellicose condition that he offered for a
small consideration TO whip any indi-
yidual in the hOstelTy who yentured TO
disagree with him upon any of the top
les touched upon, war, science, poll
tics, governmental and sporting mat
terS, further Offering at the same time
to back his Judgment for sum of
money which, in the widest range of
vision, had never crossed his eyesight.
There were some pretty tough custo
mers about the hotel, who took offense
at some OF the remarks ventured, but,
strange to relate, none in any way at
tempted to controYert the statements
made or resent the same-but to the
astonishment OF the lean lawyer, look
ed wisely at each other, smiled signifi-
cantly, and-partOok Of more refresh
ments. When the hour for departure
arrived, one of the above-named at
taches assisted in carrying the luggage
of the Albanians to the depot, and
when he perceived the direction which
the passengers meant TO take. he looked
suspicioysly at the stout lawyer and in-
quired in a subdued voice: Say, Mis-
ter, aren't you an Officer?" IAN Of
icer? No, certainly, not, !" replied the
astOnished disciple of Blackstone; why
do you ask?"
"'Cause thought you were going
the other way, and was bringing lu-
natic to Utica"
The fat lawyer never informed his
lean contemporary how he escaped a
thrashing at the hands of the village
hotel men.

Announcing engagements.

When a couple are engaged there is
seldom any sensible reason why all the
world should not know it, and, there
fore, the new fashion of announcing en-
gagements Just before prominent ball
and having the ladies and gentlemen
congratulated by their friends is to be
commended. To be sure, if the engage
ment is afterward broken, the thought
of these public congratulations would
be embarrassing; hut If the fashion tends
TO prevent promises OF marriages being
lightly given it will serve good purposes.
The gIrl who might say yes when asked TO
marry, with the mental reservation that
if anything better comes along she will
contrlve not to keep her word, will think
twice about it if she has to go through
such form. Marriage engagements
are frequently too lightly entered into
and too lightly set aside. The engage
ment should be nearly as sacred con-
tract as the marriage itself, and it
should be such an engagement that both
parties would be proud to have it known
among all their common acquaintance.

Jay Gould On Earing.

~ am very fOnd of baked potatoes, y
said Mr.. Jay Gould to a gentleman who
was talking to him the other day. They
are about the simplest thing one can
eat, and find that the simpler my food
is the better for my head. At home
do not care for what you call fancy
Dishes Plain meats and vegetables,
good bread aud butter, good milk, some
times pOrridge or grits for breakfast,
satisfy me. As on may suppose, L 1nd
my time filed up pretty well with busI-
ness. and l certainly find that | can get
along better when my food Is the plain
est of the plain. | have never lost my
fondness for the country food used to
be accustomed TO in my boyhOod, and |
think could relish one of those mid
night melons as we'll now as did then,
although | should probably eat it at a
different time"
What do you do when you go to
some of the elaborate dlnners!"
"Those are terrible things, those
heavy dinners" SAID Mr.. Gould, with a
smile. II rememb, T once being at one
and eating some dish, forgot the name
of it, which was yerj good, but after
which L was sick for week. Now
when | go to them take little soup II
it Is plain, a piece of roast meat or game
and some plain potatoes, If can get
them. If not, some peas OF IN fact any
vegetable, provided it is without sauce,
for | have found that these sauces,
which they put on what would other
wise be good. spoil the fOOd-at least
for me. For the rest of the time L sit
at the table, play with something on my
plate and pass the time as well as can.
81 do not myself believe that any
man can stand the strain OF a large
business unless he lives upon the SIM
plest food he can get. Men who train
for feats of physical endurance find that
they are obliged to be careful IN tfeir
diet, and when the strain Is mental, 1t
has been my experience that the same
rule applies. do not mean to say do
not like some of the dishes which L
cannot eat, but find that | cannot eat
them with impunity. Fortunately | Am
not sufficiently fond of them to make it
any sacrifice to give them up. My Idea
of a good breakfast is "a piece OF steak, a
mealy baked potatOe, some graham
bread and a glass of milk, and | find
that can get along very well when |
have it. Your complex dishes OF high
fiavors are very coed, but they are not
business.
No further comment than this from a
man who has demonstrated the power
of brain in the work Of the world is
necessary to show what the real import
ance is of proper food to any person who
works. Whether he is an artisan at
three or four dollars day, or a million
aire who sways the fortunes OF corpora
tions by the touch Of finger on tele-
graph instrument, the truth remains
that the American citizen makes his
way by his work, either of brain or OF
hand. And the first question lie has to
consider is the kind of fuel he shall con.
consume in keeping the machinery in
motion.

Art ir Handling a Fan.

When fans were first introduced into
Europe they were used by men as well
as women, but it was soon discovered
that the awkward hands of masculinity
had nothing iu common with an imple-
ment so light and graceful, and soon it
became the sole prerogative of women
to carry fan. In her hands it became
a means of fascination, of grace, of
love making, cf cOquetry and of kind
of silent talk on all kind OF subjects.
To it she confided her Joys, her hates
her revenges, and after the combat she
would kiss it as duelist sometimes
does his sword A French lady of the
time of Louis XIV declared that thowever
agreeable, graceful and elegantly
dressed lady might be she would nee
essarily be ridiculous unless she knew
how to handle a fan; that you could
tell a princess from a countess, a count
ess from a marguise. maTquise from
an untitled lady by the delicate move
ments of her fan, and that this subtle
instrument. by its opening and closing,
its rising and falling, its sweeping and
waving, It's pointing and beating, con-
veyed an encyclopedia of meaning.

some Cranky Bathers.

"There are tricks in every calling it
seems, ;" said the proprietor of fash
ionable Turkish bath establishment in
New York.
"What peculiar tricks are in your
| businesspn inquired reporter.
''In the message operation much de-
ception is frequently practlced by the
operator. In the first course after leav-
/ ing the sweat bath a hand-rubbing is
given with warm water L is is very
delicate and soothing performance, and
when rightly administered places the
bather IN a splendid condition TO re-
ceive the fesh-brush. Expert opera
| tors can with well-feigned labor slight
their work and leave the bather IN
doubt whether the performance Is salts
| factory or not. 1t is done by noise
chiefly. The hands in running over
| the flesh are raised and brought down
hurriedly, producing a series of pops,
pops, which is music to the ear of the
manager II does not hurt. but at the
same time it is not as beneficial as a
rub. When the operator pops a great
deal he is doing the bather-sO to speak
up, rushing things to get through.
Some bathtrs, though prefer these pop
ping operators. The popping is in the
massage as flourishes are in writing,
entirely superfluous, but still ornamen-
tai when produced by experts. Some
| old operators can carry on converse
| tion by means of these pops. L remem-
Der had two operators who had at
tanned to this proficiency. A million
aire was stretched on one of the mes
sage tables and dry goods clerk on an
other near by. The operator for the
former conveyed the intelligence To the
one for the latter that he expected big
| tip. The latter answered in disgust
ed tone, telling of his cheap customer,
and predicted no tip. The millionaire
did not tip, but the cheap clerk did,
much TO the surprise of his customer.
'But these attendants OF operators
deserve great credit for their skill and
! frequently their forbearance and good
nature. Customers are often exacting
and want double the scrubbing others
get. There is a wealthy old gentleman
who is a bull in the market and Tegu-
lar bear in the bath-hOuse. He has a

because, many generations ago, "a see
ond cousin of his grandfather died with
one. For this reason he has an hour
consumed in scrubbing that particular
place. He doesn't pay any more either.
These are some of the drawbacks exper-
fenced
"YOu often have some queer custom
ers, do yOn notr"
Yes, plenty of them, from the full
fledged crank TO the mOnOmaniac and
mild idiot. An old lady imagines that
by regular course of sweating she can
change her disposition and ideas entire
ly.
"In every seven years. " she said, we
take on new form, and | propose a
system of sweating to do it in a year or
less time.' Poor thing, she stays in the
hot room until the perspiTaiiOn rolls of
her. But it is doing her good, and her
ideas are reevidently improving. a young
cripple thinks his withered arm will
grow out again, and takes a bath every
day. / could mention many other
cases. The attendants soon learn TO
humor the cranks and pity human na-
ture."
