MIND YOUR BUSINESS,
Bob Burdette Tells How One May Grow
Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.

Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
"Diligent in his business!' 1t is the
man who is diligent in his own busi-
ness to whom this exalted position is
promised. There are people, dearly
beloved, who are diligent in every
body else's business and have, There
fore, no time to attend to their own.
They do not stand before kings; they
more frequently stand before the po-
lice Judge. Their diligence is not COM
mendable. A workman is known by
his chips; SO, alas! is the faro banker.
Do you be diligent in your own busi-
ness and be content with its rewards.
You may not walk so many miles in
six days as Fitzgerald. but you can
sleep a great deal more in that time,
and if you do not get so much money
for it. neither do you get so many bis
ters. On your little salary at the sus-
pender counter, you can not clean up
$500, 900 on Wall street this week. But
then neither can you be cleaned out of
$45O, 600 next week. You may
not be able to set the fashions
in male attire, but you can fill
your soul with nameless joy and an ex-
altation of celestial birth, and climb to
the top of high Olympus, and lean
back and pile your feet on the sofa,
and make yourself easy with the i'm
mortal gods, by paying your landlady
every Saturday and keeping even with
your tailor. You may never be the
Washington correspondent of society
paper, but then your hair won't turn
white in the agonized effort to explain
what it is about a Senator wife, Whoe
has red hair, freckles, no upper teeth.
a hair wart on her nose, and twang
in her shrill voice that ''makes her 50
bewitchingly beautiful and universally
admired" Just be diligent in your
business. and wait in patience for the
reward of your diligence. 1t may be
little slow in coming. The mills OF
the gods grind slowly, so does q hand
organ on the "Last Rose of Summer
stop, but it always gets there. And
don't pay more for the reward than
the reward worth. A man who lives
on twenty-nine cents day will be apt !
to die wealthy. but he won t die very
fat. 1t is the liberal soul that shall be
made tat.-Bardette, tn Denper Repnb-

SMOKING IN JAPAN.
The Utensils Considered indispensable to
Well-to-Do Smokers.

Weti-to-Do smokers.
The visitor at Japanese house,
after being regaled with tea and cake
in tiny dishes, next sees the rosy
checked maid enter with the tobacco
bon. On a mimic mountain of white
ashes reposes red cone of glowing
coal like volcano peak. A pouch of
tine-cut rolled into pill is put into the
brass pipe-bowl, and a light is had by
touching it to the coal. Then sitting
back ON ones heels, elbow in palm and
pipe in mouth, sociability and smoke
become the orderof the hour. Pendent
from the girdle of the visitor one will
see a long narrow, an oblong, and
perhaps a small oval, bag of leather,
OF of fine plated bamboo thread. or of
paper stamped SO rs to closely initiate
leather. These three pouches contain
the pipe, tine-cut tobacco, and flint
and steel. The clasp of the pouch
will usually be a piece of elaborate
art in gold, inlaid or pousse
metal Connecting these utensils of the
smoker by silken cord. like a gang
lion its nerves, is q knob or mass of
carved ivory called netsuke. The
netsuke as to use is button; as to art
is a statuette. portrait, bust, figure,

MOMENTS OF TERROR.

Hair Strengthening Experiences In the
Shaft of Nevada Mine.
II was working at the Chollar in
1885," said an old-timer the other
night. 1--WE were sinking the shaft
with a bucket, and were down over
five hundred feet We had a double
compartment shaft, all boarded up
We used to lower our timbers one at
time, and, thinking that It was too
slow, we bored holes in the timbers and
passed chain through and then low
cred several atonce. This plan worked
well until one day. There were six of
us at the bottom of the shaft, and
among our number was tall State of
Maine man, who had come to earn
money to buy farm.
'.They were lowering a number of
timbers, and we paid no attention to
them; but it seems that they caught
IN the side of the shaft, and the cable
unrolled on them until the load was
too heavy, and then down they came,
one after another, ripping and tear
ing down the boarding. We made
ourselves as small as we could in
that shaft, three being in it and
three in the other compartment, and
we thought the timbers and boards
never would stop coming down.
Not a man moved until every thing
was quiet, and then we went to the
other compartment and were pulled up.
The Maine man Revt opened his
mouth. but put on his coaA and started

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS.

But common words above rss

So was silent for a little space.

So spent long days with rhetoric and tutor,
In framing sentences I dreamed might suit her.

The deacon had been doing we'll for
himself, but he had said too much at
last The picture of lifelong love-of
love born in passionate youth and en-
during in old age, brought back the
memory of Roses happy past too WV
idly. She had hesitated, but she did
so no longer. She threw back her vail
and looked Deacon Dow full in the
face.
Il loved as your mother did, once"
she said; "My betrothed lover died,
but l love him still. l should commit

The deacon drove on awhile in ST.

1--WE can't live with the dead. If you
think better Of it, let me know
He paused at the gate of Mrs. Per-
rvs little cottage, and set Rose down
and drove away.
Rose fingered a moment, then the
door opened, and her mother hurried
out.
Her face was wet with tears
Rose" she cried. clutching her
arm, "the deacon drove you home.
Did he ask you to marry him?''
Yes said Rose.

Mrs. Perry. "Oh, Rose. if you had

alive. Oliver has come back home
again"
And the next moment Rose was
clasped in her lovers arms.
He had returned as poor as he went;
but she cared nothing for that, and if
Mrs. Perry was disappointed, she was
soon comforted, for it was not long be-
fore the deacon said to her one day:
