Learning Not ca smoke.

No one who ever saw or heard
Chauncey M. Depew, with his per-
ennial flow Of wit and apparently in
exhaustibility of good spirits. would
imagine that he was engaged in a
sturdy battle against O habit which
threatened to iniure his health. Yet
there is his own i~nviolate word for it
that such is the case. He says: Il
have smoked ever since 1 was twenty
but of late years the habit has grown
upon me until / averaged about
twenty cigars a day. l noticed that
I was and low spirited, and
my excellent digestion was going
back on me, but I called it malaria
for q while, and then talked about
nervous prostration and brain
trouble, but 1 knew in my inner
consciousness that the real difficulty
was nicotine. First I tried to cut
down the number of cigars and then
to smoke milder sorts, but while /
would smoke less one day. I'd drop
the next back into my old habits,
till finally matters grew so bad 1 was
forced to look them straight in the
face and decide whether / was going
to permit any habit Of the sort to
wreck my health, impair my useful
ness and destroy my life. OF course,
1 decided I wouldn't, and as I could
not control the habit, I simply aban-
doped it.

A willy Magistrate.

A district magistrate of Shanghai
had brought before him q man
charged with stealing a table. The
man denied the charge. alleging
that he was so feeble from i'll health
that it was physically impossible for
him to commit such a crime. The
magistrate listened gravely to the
tale, and p~rofessed his sympathy and
sorrow for the poor man. go

a you are very poor. take that bag,
which contains $40 900 cash, as a

made obeisance. threw the heavy bag
over his shoulder, and departed.
He had not gone far before he was
arrested, brought back and found
guilty. the magistrate remarking
that a man who could carry off q
heavy sack could have no difficulty
in stealing a table.-N. Y. Sun.

PRETTY FACES UNDER WHITE
CAPS.

Prevailing Fashion for Empl Oy-
ing Attractive Ladies' Maids.
1t is a fashionable fad at present to
employ the prettiest and nattiest
hand maidens that money can hire.
On q fine afternoon in the cross
town streets and parks the stroller
may see SEINE really charming
specimens of young womanhood.
A general daintiness of attire, which
is further increased by the demure
white cap, is their chief characteris-
tic. These maids form q privileged
class among our modern servants.
They look with equal scorn upon the
old fashioned colored nurse, whom
they have gradually s%upplanted, and
the recently landed Irish girl,
who is much their social inferior.
Most of them, too, are bright, in
telligent young women, who IN
derstsnd thoroughly all the mysteries
Of The toilet, the packing of trunks
and the art of sewing, and on some
occasions even the keeping Of their
> mistresses' private accounts.
For these maids the policeman, with
all his advantages Of uniform and
authority, has little charms; it is the
natty English groom, or the
smooth-faced butler, with the man
ners of Lord Chesterfield, that they
are naturally attracted towards, and
who generally. in time, becomes the
successful sutton for their hands.
Their life is a very pleasant one.
In Summer they visit the best water
ing places of this country, and a
European trip affords no great
novelty to this privileged class.
When one compares the arduous
duties and long hours of the shop
girl with the easy fortunes of the
modern ladies' maid it is a wonder
that more young girls do not adopt
the latter calling. oven at the sacri-
fee of a little personal pride.-Mail

John, he may be honest or he
may be after our pork. I'll hold
him here with the shotgun while you
go and see il his horse and buggy

He ordered me to sit down, and
then he took a seat in front Of me
with q gun across his knees, and my
every movement was watched until
Johns return. Then they half be-
lieved in me, but as / went to my
bed my door was locked on the OUT
side. and when I got ready to leave
in the morning the farmer took me
aside and said:
"'My friend, if you are all right
you need not be afraid. If you've
got an eye on my horse, however, /

dogs. and John and me sit up all

Scares timid jack-rabbits and wolves into

How often l wished that I was a steer,
With a long shiny horn at the butt OF each

With a clear, fearless eye, and tapering

That would snap like a whip In the mad

And lope over the hills with a laundering

And snort like a terror, and hump up my

And I'd laugh at his oaths as he fell to the
