Mr. Sol Smith Russell undertook the
other day to teach his son Bob u les
son in self denial

I KEEP the runty one 'un give the big

THAT was noble-that was manly
that was just what l should dor
said Mr.. Russell, proudly patting his
panipered darlings head. "Now,
that, my son, is what we can call an
act Of self abnegation, of denial, OF
sacrifice"
"Yes, SIR" said Bob, "But mother

A Poor Country for Saw Bones.
There is only one physician toevery
G,500 of the population in Russia, and
yet the destitution among members Of
tho profession is said to be alarming.
OF late there have been numbers OF
suicides of medical men who were
without the bare necessities of life.
This state of things is attributed to
the ignorance of the people, who con
suit soothsayers and magicians in
preference to educated medical men.
Men who have served in the ambu-
lance corps or as hospital attendants,
and thus gained q smattering Of mcdi-

The Bill Was Paid.

handed the bill back to the collec-

"NO sir. 1 mean to go down to

His First Practical Joke.

w. J. Florence says the first prac-
teal joke that was ever played on him
was the means of getting him out of q
scrape, and he has felt kindly toward
that form of wit ever since.
1t was when he was lad, playing
minor comedy parts in O Broadway
theatre at $40 u week. He thought he
WIS madly in love with young actress
at work for the same stipend. During
the play one night he invited her to
take some oysters after the perform
ance. Then he rushed to his lodgings,
changed his clothes, met her and took
her to an oyster house. His bill there
was Sl.90, but unfortunately he found
he had left all his money in his other
clothes. The waiter and the proprie-
tor both said his story was too diaph-
anous, and made him give up his
watch and his fathers ring that he
wore. Just then u white haired, be-
nevolent looking old gentleman came
out of one OF the private dining com
partments they used to have in those
days, and thundcred at the proprietor
Give that youth back his watch
and chain and ring. Let me pay his
bill. You ought to be ashamed, sir.
Amy one can see this is an honest
youth and his companion is a perfect
lady. [The lady was in tears. will
pay the bill and never set foot in your
place again"
Out III the street Florence was over
come with gratitude.
Give me your address, SIR" said he
to the kindly old gentleman. II will
return you the money tomorrow.
"Oh, never mind" said the philan-
thropist; ''that was q counterfeit 500
bill ! handed to that old fool. 1t was
worth nothing, and he gavo me $1S. 10
change for it. That's the way mako
my living. Good night" - Buffalo

Etiquette ut Il Church Fair

1t is not correct to charge less
than vs. on the 81 for articles on the
fair tables.
Do not keep your $I5 in your in
side pocket unless you are willing
to be thought mean.
1t is never proper to make man
take chance on a plush framed
mirror at the point of a pistol.
DO not be ostentatious in your
display of wealth at a chuLch fair.
This is vice of feXtravagant minds
a hint for the fair restaurant is
that it is never de rigueur to order
less than nine portions for three
people.
Bargain counters are never to be
found at well regulated fairs and
economy is gross breach of the
etiquette which there obtains.
Every wellregulated table should
have its "steerer" just as in the
game of bunco, to assist people to
find what they do not want.
Fashionable people never take
more than five glasses of lemonade
at once, or expect to find more
than one lemon in eight gallons.
1t is not quite etiquette to de-
cline to take II chance in a grand
piano rattle just because your par
lor is not big enough to hold more
than the legs.
In small country town it is not
considered right to charge admiss-
ion to the fair but small fee is
exacted of persons desiring to go
out.
When kind hearted member of
the congregation hes donated Il $40
clock to the fair, it is not good form
to ask him to buy it back for $40
If yon are a poor man and win
an elephant in Il rattle it is perfect.
ly proper for you to give it back to
tle managers of the fair to be raf
fled for again.
1t is not becoming in a man to
leave a church fair with more gold
in his pockets than he would have
there after "hold up" by the ban
ditti of Texas.
If you pay 5 cents for a "grab"
keep your temper if you get hand
full of paper and pewter spoons and
not the French ormolu clock you
expected.
1t is not considered proper to buy
useful things at the fair, so that
clergyman need have no hesitation
about purchasing II poker layout if
he is asked to,
Persons acquainted with the eti-
quette of church affairs will wrap
up a pin cushion the minute the |
visitor says he doesn't want it.
In the cause of charity il is al
ways proper to make others ridic-
ulous, so if there are two rich dudes
from whom you would like to rea-
lie substantial aid, get up a vote
for the greatest donkey in town,
leading the list with the gentle
men III question. They will then
appear and squander their sub
stance in riotous voting, unless
they combine and call it off.

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: "For years, was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal a bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out new growth. I
could hardly trust my senses when 1
first found my hair growing; but there
1t is, and / am delighted. look ten
years younger"
A similar result attended the use OF
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
II. Bedloe, of Burlington, VT, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, OF Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss Of lair may be owing to i'm
purity of the blood or arrangement OF
the stomach and liver, in which case,
a course OF Ayers SarSaparilla or of
Vigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone TO all the functions OF the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none OF these
remedies can do much good without
a persevcring trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.

Imagine. if you can, the condi-

that if Mahone had put negro pc.

have suffered under the fierce in

We Can imagine but we Cannot de-
