He Stood The Test Bravely.

A Woodward avenue dentist received
whom he soon had reasons to believe
were lovers. The girl had an aching
tooth, and as they entered the office the
young man said:
Now, darling. the worst is over
just take seat and it will be out in "a
minute"
'Oh. l dasn't.n she gasped.
But it really don't hurt you any, you
know
but I'm afraid it will"
1T can't. I'd have one pulled in a
minute if it ached.n
IL don't believe it"
ooh, yes. l would
Has she got bad tooth?" asked the
dentist.
Yes, sir; It has ached for week.
and Eve just succeeded in getting her
down here. Come, darling, have it
out"
''Oh! l can'tr'
But you must"
Il can't stand the hurt
Hurt? Now. then. FL have one
pulled just to show you that it doesn't
hurt"
He took a seat, leaned back and
opened his mouth. and the dentist
seemed to be selecting tooth to seize
with his forceps, when the girl pro-
tested:
Hold on! The test is sufficient. He
has proved his devotion. Get out. Har-
ry. and FIJI have it pulled"
She took the chair. had the tooth
drawn without a groan, and as she
went out she was saying to the young
man:
Now l can believe YOU when YOU
declare that you would die for me-
And yet every tooth in his head was
false.-Detroit Free Press.

Professor of kissing.

had a curiosity to call and inquire
into this osculatory science. says a
Washington letter in the Detroit Free
Press. The professor is quiet little
man of declining years, who teaches
the art of conversation, how to write
letters, and carries on brisk business
in the answer and regret line. He was
once a Consul to some foreign port,
and wears distinguishing badges of
past office.

introduced the eye-kiss, which is much
more serviceable and proper than the
lip-kiss. The accepted lover kisses his
betrothed on the eye lids. 1t is very
atfpctiona ate and noptical :"
/ found that the old man taught
stage kissing. 1t was rather tame and
coIorless, being mere mechanical sa-
lutte with closed lips. He assured me
that few people knew how to kiss well;
that it was most neglected branch of
social education, and that his method
was so correct that strangers could sa-
lutte each other with perfect propriety.
Those who have seen kissing on the
public promenade, at depots and in
cars will be pleased to know that the
smack is obsolete. and that school of
kissing will not allow it's pupils to make
spectacles of themselves in public.

A Lesson in SeIcRelianSe,

Mr.. Depew told me an anccdote. A
| good many years ago Young freight
clerk was employed at one of the couu-
try stations on the Erie Railroad. He
was farmers boy. who had nothing
but common school education, but
was regarded as pretty bright chap.
He indicated this youthful reputation
by his management of the little freight
business TO which he had to attend. and
was soon transferred to more impor
tant place near Buffalo. There he be.
gan to reveal the genius that was in
him by suggesting certain new methods
of dealing with freight. and there he
came under the eye Of Commodore
Vanderbilt.
Some time later after the consolida-
ton of the Hudson River and New
York Central Railroads the old Com
modore desired to get Il man to take
charge of the freight business, and
thought of this Young man. He sent
for him and offered him Il salary OF
Sl5, 900 Il year to assume the duties of
master OF freight transportation. The
clerk was rosy-cheeked. yellow-haired
young man, who at once accepted the
offer with such confidence in his abili-
ties as to please the old Commodore,
who hated a man who had no self-con-
tidence. Not long after he took charge
very complicated and difficult pro-
blem in freight transportation arose
1t puzzled the young fellow so that he
could not sleep nights. If he made a
mistake he felt that it would be fatal to
his reputation. probably to his career.
while if he succeeded he would simply
accomplish what he had been hired to
do. At last in his anxiety be yentured
to call upon the old Commodore, stated
the difficulty to him. and asked advice
The old man looked at him a moment
and then said:
Jim, what does the Central hire YOU
for?"
ITO take charge of the transporta-
ton"
We'll, do You expect / am going to
earn your salary for you?'
That was all the Commodore said
and the young man turned on his heel
and left him. He went out and acted
on his own Judgment; acted with uner-
ring foresight, and was soon promoted
to the Fice-Presidency. Later on he
succeeded William H. Vanderbilt as
President of the New York Central
system. That was the career of jim
Rutter, Mr.. Depew said, and he char
acterized Rutter as one of the greatest
railroad geniuses that the age of rail
reading has produced. Rutter killed
himself in the services of the Central
by overwork, habit which Mr.. Depew
neither encourages by his own example
or favors in any of his employees. =

About the Opal.

The absurd superstition held by so
many that the opal brings ill-luck to
its owner, as if there were a compell-
ing power or genius residing in stones,
would not seem to be shared by those
who rate the two opals belonging to
the French crown Jewels at So. 900, or
the famous one sent from Hungary to
the first world exhibition at SIC, 600, or
by those who protect the delicate and
friable edges of very brilliant speci-
mems by Il thin lamina of quartz. The
hungarian merchant who takes the
pains to export the opal to the east by
means of Greek and Turkish agents,
from whence they return to European
markets rs oriental gems. are hardly
inundated by the existence of the SUI
perstition; nor could Humboldt great
ly have regarded it when he brought
to the polite world the first specimens
of the superb stone known as the Mex
lean first opal, too precious to be
owned, with its red and fiame-colored
splendors, by many with less than i'm
perial purses. Harper'S Ba.ar.

There was just one vacant seat in

woman mounted on the step and in

for her, but she climbed in and started
to sit down in the one seat. The ladies
on each side of it saved themselves by
climbing upon the laps of their neigh
