A COMPLIMENTARY MIRROR.
Merchant Reveals a Cause of 4

"A Merchant Reveals Cause of His
Success.
have always attracted attention to my
window" said a Broadway merchant to a
New York correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader, by means OF very simple and
commonplace device that | should think
would be utilized by more men dealing
in. such wares as mine. In my win
dow is q mirror, as you have of course
noticed. 1t is the only mirror to be
seen from the sidewalk between Madison
Square and Thirty-third street. There is not
regular promenader in the neghborhood
who doesn't know my mirror. Women an
ticipate 1t block away, and when they ar
rive opposite to 1t they take quick glance
to see II they are looking will. 1t is just
here that catch them. That is a peculiar
mirror. 1t lends a fresh color to nearly
every face. 1t refuses to reflect sallOwness,
and at the same time it sOftens the tip of a
TOO red nose. The men and women have
cause every time they pass it they get
such picture of themselves that they
are made happy. A woman who has
been up late the night before comes
along with sad countenance, and when she
gets to my window she looks up at the mir
ror. Instantly light Of joy springs into her
eyes and her gait grows elastic. Instead Of
the paleand heavy-eyed creature that she
feels, She sees face that is deliciouslv pink,
while the eyes look only poetic and interest
ing. A man who is feeling mean and needs
shave shambles up, and when he views
himself in the mirror he is delighted. He
looks ten years younger than he did when
he examined himself in his own hand
glass that morning, and as for shaving, he
is SO attractive as he is that he goes away
wondering if it wouldn't be a good plan to
let his beard grow. Oh, it's great. If you
were to ask me the very best way in the
world for a storekeeper to draw attention
to his windows would say put in compli-
however, to secure mirror that softens
blemishes. The public is very conceited,
and when you prove that its nose is infiamed
1t becomes your enemy. By all means Sc
cure a complimentary mirror"

HE SAW. THE MAN HANGED.

1t Was His Uncle, But He Wanted q
Holiday and Went Anyhow.
There was to be a hanging at the county
seat of county in Illinois, and the night
before the execution stopped with family
about seven miles distant, is the way the
New York Sun sets out to tell the story.
Nothing was said about the matter until
after supper, and then the man Of the house
said to his wife:
you call Bill in. and We'll see what the
stranger says about it."
Bill proved to be an ungainly, slab-sided
young fellow about is years Of age. who had
peen too bashful to show up at the supper
table. When he had entered the room his
father said:
!" Stranger, there's going to be man hung

Mrs. cooper,s Bible Class.

A large number of ladies and gentlemen
took part in the discussion of the lesson in
Mis-. Cooper's Bible Class yesterday. The
principal topics were: 1.-THE Nature and
Power OF Humility" and "The Duty and
Joy of Self-Sacrifce. In defining the nature
of meekness, it was argued that meekness
did not mean weakness and good-for-noth-
ingness. True meekness includes energy
and power. But it acts under the dominion
of benevolence and kindness. 1t was asked
If meek people ever amounted to much In
this world? The teacher replied In the
words of the Beattude: "Blrssed are the
meek, for they shall inherit the EARTH" In
other words, II you wish to govern othere,
be meek. The promise Is: "The meek will
he guide In judgment. the meek will he teach
his way" Weakness Is the highest power
known. 1t is the holding Of the entire mind
under great prOv0cation in a calm, sweet
and gentle mood.
In speaking Of self-sacrifice, 1t was said
that Jesus made change from selfishness
to benevolence the very marrow Ut religion.
All great schemes of reformation will fail
which do not begin with releasing us from
sclfishness. The true reformer must, like
Jesus himself. go down 10 the lost, and lift
them up This is what General Booth is
doing In Darkest England" All moral
developments must come through the change
OF the individual moral sense of the COM
munity:s 1t is good plan to begin deep
down In the bedrock of early childhood.
This Is the most hopeful plan.

SUSPENDED BY A FINGER.


One of the Most Singular Accidents on
Record.
One Of the most singular accidents on
record befell Mrs. j. S. Hardy of Madison
one day last week, says the Bangor News.
She went into the stable to see about her
hens, and. stepping upon the feed-trough in
one of the stalls, reached up with her
right hand and drew herself up An
iron garden-rake hung there, and she
placed her hand on that. In doing so her
feet slipped from under her and she fell
catching one of the teeth of the rake into
the flesh Of the second finger, above the
joint, and there She hung, just high enough
for her feet to rest on the floor. In this try
ing position she concluded she might die be-
lore any one could come to her assistance
but with rare presence Of mind she caught
the handle of Zoe which hung beside the
rake with her left hand, drew herself up so
as to unlock her finger and fell unconscious
to the floor. After time she recovered and
went into the house.
