HIS POtUer to Please,

A venerable white haired clergy
man in one Of the city churches re-
Gently preached in Norfistown. He
had hardly got home from the
church before the door bell rang
and a charming girl of eighte
asked to see him. He received her,
they talked about the sermon and
other things, until finally she asked
diffldcntly:
"Oh, won't you please give me a
lock OF your hairT'
Certainly, my child" said the
old gentleman, battered at the re-
quest. W'Il send it to you to NOR
row." and be did.
On his return to the city he had
five more requests OF tho same kind
and he proudly boosted t. his wife
that he was glad to see that he had
not yet lost his power to please. He
declared his trip had been most
charming and all went we'll until his
wife received this note:
"My Desr Mrs. X: Won't you
please ask your good husband to
send me just little lock of his
hair? We have all been taking les
sous in making hair flowers, SO
many of the other girls asked him
and he sent it to them, but
Thought | would rather ask you to
get it for me. Now, won't you
please do this for me, it is SO hard
to get white hair for lilies of the
valley?"
This was a terrible blow and the
less now said about locks of hair

ence the better Philadelphia

Queer Cure for Pneumonia.

Attention has lately been direct
ed to the benefit derivable, in cas-
es of pneumonia, where there is
great embarrassment of breathing
from accumulated secretion in the
bronchial tubes, by inverting the
patient and having him cough VIC
lently while in such position. 1t is
easily accomplished by strong as
sistant standing on the patients
bed, scizing the sick mans ankles.
turning him face downward and
then lifting his feet four or five feet
above The level Of the mattress. II
the patient, with his face over the
edges of the bed and his legs
thus held aloft, win cough vigor
ously two or three times he will
get rid of much expectoration that
exhaustive efforts at coughing
failed TO dislodge whom not thus
aided. Life has been saved by re-
peated performances of this maneu-
YER in pneumonia accompanied with
great cyanosis, due to inundation
of the bronchial tn les with mucous
secretion. 1t, of course, will have
no effect on the exudus in the yes
icles In a similar way gravity is
OF value in employing the lungs of
mucus during einerizstion.-N, Y.

John BtGW OaUHs Up.

The London Daily Telegraph says
it may fairly be acknowledged that
the American girl is the girl Of the
period. What she may become in
the future no body can tell. At
present her destiny seems superb.
Her father finds silver, strikes oil.
kills pigs by the million, or raises
corn by the square mile. She IS
pretty, cnn talk well, does not know
what Difference or diffidence means
and enters Europe full of money.
"If he but shakes travelling cloak,
down our Appian roll the scudi,"

tenderness and iDnumerable checks.

t9ld-marriage does not seem to
the fair American what is still
means to the majority of English
women. Whether we call it a viz
tue or a fault, she eau do without
it. French women, their country
men say, are not blameless as
wives but perfect as mothers.
Young American ladies of culture
do not greatly desire, it is said.
either to be wives or mothers. It
is well, then, that they should come
to English soil to fnd out for
themselves the attractivehess OF
English Nurseries and homes.
They will learn here that no queen
ia society has 50 true throne as
the wife and mother who mixes
love with rule, and even fin fu-
ture years the slender yankee belle
is hidden behind the ampler beau
ty of the English matron we may
still hear from her lips the wit sand

tellegent questions and the rapid

A WelI to Do Hegrar.

A well known figure in tho neigh
borhood of the Stock Exchange is an
old man with q long gray beard and
watery eyes, who dresses in shabby
clothes and plays dolsful airs upon g.
piccolo. His appearance is SO miser.
able that many people drop a dime
into his battered hat. This was what
q prominent broker was about to do
when one of Inspector Byrnes' detec-
tives stopped him and said:
THAT old fellow is a fraud. I'll
bet he has more money in his pockets
now than you have. We looked up
his record the other day and discover
cd that he was worth a good many
thousands of dollars, but he will not
stop begging"
The broker returned the dime to bis
pocket and the old piccolo player
glared with his watery eyes at the de-
tective.-New York Journal.
