Now close the mouth quietly. and then
in rapid succession you may masticate the
celery, but the mouth should be kept
closed at such times. People who open
the mouth while chewing their provender
make a great mistake.
To eat your celery without being audible
Is an ambition that's highly Iaudable.
| quote the above from the preface of
a little work OF mine, entitled ''How to
DOmesticate Man"
| have spoken several times of the ETH
quette Of sleeping cars. and these rules
are general, OF course, applying to all
classes of people. However, | hope you
will not allow Bartholomew to lie for you
as some husbands do when their wives
want to swap an upper berth for a lower
one. Not long ago / had a good lower
berth near the Thermometer so hat |
could watch the squirt of the mercury as
it clomb up and looked oyer the edge Of
the tube and then gently crawled back into
its bulb again with blue lips and chatter
ing teeth.
Anon man with a luxuriant head OF
whiskers came to me aud said | could do
him a great favor if | would swap berths
with his wife, as they had been unable to
get a lower berth. | said Lwas not very
well and l in other ways seemed to hest
tate and hang back, for il is not long
since | gave my pleasant little berth to an
unknown woman who had not the grace
of God IN her heart nor the grace OF any
thing else in her general bearing. She
did not even thank me, but ate crackers
and cheese all the way from Buffalo to
Chicago, and kept the section looking so
tough that | could not stand 1t. got
pneumonia, and it took two weeks to rim
olt my poor congested lungs.
Well, this Mr.. Whiskers said that the
only reason he wanted a lower berth for
his wife was that she was almost always
seasick while travelling on the cars, and
especially when in m upper berth. He
also added that her berth was over mine.
Recalling the general gloom and otner
things that a seasick person can cast over
a community at times, | decided to yield
my berth. Next morning | told the con-
ductor about it as | put a large plaster on
my chest. He said yes, that was getting
to be quite a popular way of soaring a
man out of a lower berth now. He hardly
made a trip, he said, that some man was
not ritied Of his berth right in that man
ner.
Keep the mouth closed while sleeping
on The cars. Your mouth will thus taste
sweeter even to yourself in the morning
than it would otherwise, and besides you
are less apt to snore. Snoring, which is
at all times reprehensible, is doubly so on
a sleeping car and on Il bridal tour.

At the railway eating houses or othe r
eating works, avoid extending the neck
with Il serpentine motion while swallow
ing, and endeavor also to avoid any re-
port when swallowing. Eating is done
mostly Tor the purpose of nourishing the
physical strength, and not to brighten
other people away from the table. So
you should not move the head to suit the
motion OF the knife while eating. Keep
the elbows close TO the sides. Raise the
knife slowly, together with its contents,
and insert both into the mouth with an
air of natural candor and sincerity which
will en1ear o to one and all. II
food should lodge on the blade of the
knife up near the hilt, do not try to get
it off with the mouth, as the blade may be
longer than you had calculated and
iniure your voice. A friend of mine
made a mislick of this character once,
and his voice has been cracked in two
places ever since.
Finger bowls with small Turkish towels,
on which the monogram is worked, are
still in favor. Do not take off the cuffs
and turn them when about to use the
finger bowl. 1t looks too much as if
you were affecting a great degree of neat
ness in order to attract attention to your
self.
When you are married try to be a
good wife to your husband. Try earn
estly to make him so happy hat he will
hardly miss the dear old home nest from
which you have so suddenly snatched
him. Be gentle with him, guiding his
young and tender feet along the narrow
and somewhat lonely pathway of recti.
tude. firmly vet softly keeping him
pointed 10 the right direction, as his
parents had done previous to the time
when you entered the hallowed precincts
of his Rome and ierked HIM loose from
the genial soil in which he had grown.
You take upon yourself a frightful re
sponsibility, Estella, when you seek for
the hand of a young man who has never
been married before, and though etiquette
will come in very handy during your mar
ried life, real affection and unselfsh horse
sense are better. | hope that Bartholo-
NEW will treat you white, and | do earn.
estly hope, also, Tor your sake, that he
does not belong to that great army of
gentlemen who claim to be their W
worst enemies.

ONE MOMENT.

DR.. Wagner & Co., the most uniformly sur
ceSsful medical specialists of the age, feel IL
lneir hohest auly 70 caution the PuDnc gen
loss of manhood or anS form of nervous dir
eases in particular, against the numerous I'M
principled p~retenders in various parts of the
country who are passing themselves of upoh
the people as experienced specialists to sex
ual disorders, whereas they are generally
frauds who possess nothing but a legal dl-
pIOma to keep them out of prison for their
fearful medical malpractlces.
We have had hundreds of patients who
after being most shamefully robbed by these
medical pirates and their disorders greatly ag-
gravated and their lives endangered, have
come to us In despair and TO be cured only
with great difficulty.
Remember thai Il requires something more
than a plausible advertisement and a bogus
testimonial to really cure this class OF dis
eases and only a physician specially fitted
anu adapted 10 It's pathology and research by
long scientific skill is capable OF
treating them successfully.
Many receive a mere temporary relief at
the hands of these medical shams to find out
70 their sorrow that they are GETTING worse
than ever; that instead of being cured they
nave been spending Valuable TIME AND
MONEY In vain. After seeing that they have
been swindled they often come to us in the
most hopeless condition Imaginable.
Come at once, don't delay. Avoid these
shams. and thus save your time, your health
us and you shall have the fun benefit of our
scientific advice, based upon n long medical
experience in sexual physiology. CONSUL
TATIoN free OF charge. Remember this fact
Dr. Wagner, & Co., always tell their pa
tlents honestly what their case will cost.
There are no extra charges and disappoint-
ments II their advice is followed, They give
their advice and sympathies 20 all who suffer
most freely and their long experience and
valuable medical discoveries enable them to
cure many HOPELESS cases., where all others
have utterly failed. Remember these facts.
Their charges are always very low for the ser
vices rendered and the benefits conferred.
Think over this, read and reflect, then give
us a call, 1t Will cost you nothing, and re-
member you are at perfect liberty to decline
our professional services, If you feel disposed.
We deal honestly with all.
The best evidence in support of this fact Is
this notice: Our patients appeal to our Judg-
ment as n duty we owe suffering humanity to
keep IL before the public, for the benefit OF
ialty.

alter accusing boil branches OF the lcgis-
lature of having been governed too much
by partisanship. he goes on to say:
From eight O'Clock that evening until
halt past eleven next day it was simply a
fight to see which side would make the
other give in. Three conference commit
tees were held, and it is only fair to saw
that the council showed a greater spirit Of
concession than did the house, for the
council finally receded from all their
amendments except two-the one cutting

Although this action of The council
vas osNSnoioS OasVu upOu u X ltCnnlC'
allty its real purpose was to get a whack
at the governor. The house felt it their
duty to stand by the governor to the very
last. This led them to the Inexcusable
length OF refusing to pass a special appro-
priation bill hurriedly passed by the
council during the night. This special
appropriation bill provided for the pay
ment OF the special officers of the legisla
ture not paid for by congressional appro-
priation and also for the transportation of
prisoners. The council thought these
Items were absolute necessities and wanted
to provide for them in case the general
appropriation bill failed to pass.
This was only Justice but the house
refused to pass it. preterring to use it
as an additional lash to make the
council recede from their last two amend
ments. Neither side would give in, and
when at half past eleven the governor sent
word to the house that he had no further
communications for them the house
promptly adjourned after passing a long
resolution that it was the fault of the
other fellows that the appropriation bill
Jailed to pass. Then the council passed a
long resolution hat it wasn't their fault
that the appropriation bill failed to pass
and they adjourned"
While the matter is not amplifed here
it bears out the statement OF the case
made in The LEADER last Sunday morn
lng. That statement has not yet been
assailed by our contemporary.

A Tinkor's Story.

Peter DAILY, wandering tinker, sat
mending an old wash boiler in front of a
tenement house on Forty-eighth street
near Eleventh avenue, singing merrily
away as he filled up the holes with solder.
Peter was in talkative mood, and a
few minutes conversation disclosed the
fact that the tinker has history.
He served ten years in the British army,
and has seen some hard service under the
hot sun of India. His father was tinker
before him in county Antrim, Ireland,
where Pete was born, and he learned to
use the soldering iron almost as soon as he
learned to walk.
rom the British army Peter went to
Australia, and from there he wandered
over half Europe, carrying his little fur
mace and kit of tools, and working his way
as he went. He can shout Boilers ITO
mend' in half dozen different languages,
and speaks German as well as any good
subject of the kaiser. But he says there is
a reason for that. In little town in Ger
many he received wound from bright
pair of blue eyes that was worse than any
he had received in the army, "and which. !"
Peter says, Twill never get we'll" But he
doesn't care much about that part of it,
for the little German maiden consented to
go with him and take care of the wound.
So Pete took her along as his wife, and
says she is doing her best to keep the
wound fresh.
His wanderings are done now, however,
and every night he goes home to the fiat
where he lives on the west side, where the
smiling face of his Gretchen and their
three sturdy rogues of children are await
ing his return. Still Pete likes to talk
about the old times, when he was "sojer
bye" and many an hour does he while
away telling the neighbors of his advent
ures.-New York World.
