What caused that long, lacerated

girl or woman left a pin in the under
clothing which she sent to the wash,
and that ugly-looking scratch on the
IaundreSs hand was the result. To
use pin in clothing where button or

do other persons damage indicates some

any doubt, their alarm was soon set at

THE young girl who uses chewing
gum is foolish and, perhaps, ignorant"
The speaker was a well-known ply
stefan and he was speaking of the hal
which was thought to have gone out of
fashion, but which seems to have be-
come prevalent again.
''If the girls who affect the habit only
knew that it ruined the eyes and in
iuriously affected the whole nervous
system they would. perhaps, cease to
cling to it, continued the speaker.
THE practice of chewing gum is more
general than most people suppose, and
is really injurious to those who affect it.
''You ask how is this? will tell you.
The muscles of the jaw are connected
with the spine, and from the spine del
icate nerves branch out in all directions.
Some of these extend to the eyes and
are known as the optic nerves. If you
will notice a person eating you will see
a alpitatio of the temples, which is
caused by the working of the optic
nerves. These nerves are very sem
sitive. If overworked by an incessant
motion of the jaws they become weak
and shrunken and the eyesight is i'm
paired, for tt shrinkage of the nerves
draws the eye back into the socket and
as a result the pupil of the eye becomes
affected. Then the eye becomes weak,
Its color changes, and eyeglasses be

"Robbing Peter to Pay Paul"

This expression arose thus: On De-

Peter Westminster, was advanced to
the dignity of cathedral by letters
patent: but ten years later it was joined
to the diocese of London again, and
many of its estates appropriated to the
repairs of st. Pauls Cathedral. One
hundred years later, in 1910, we find him

Earl of Chatham, in 177S, each of the
METROPOLITAN cemeteries laid claim to
the honor of burial. The City of Lon

William Pitt should be buried in st.

NOT AFRAID OF DRAUGHTs.
One of the Peculiarities of Empress
Maria Theresa of Austria.

One of the Peculiaritfes of Empress
Maria Theresa of Austria.
1t has been said that Queen Victoria
sleeps in unheated rooms, and that in
frosty weather she has the windows OF
all her living rooms open, SO that guests
visiting Windsor must be chilly.
This has called attention to the
memoirs of Caroline Pichler, which tell
that the Empress Maria Theresa pos
sessed a similar popularity. The moth
er of Caroline Pichler before her mar
riage was reader to Maria Theresa and
she also assisted the Empress with her
toilet. She relates the following:
1.-The Empress, being large, stoutly-
built woman, warmth was not agreeable
to her. She did not allow her apart
ments to be warmed. She had no fear
of draughts: she did not know what
rheumatism was. In winter time the
window was often open beside her writ
ingtable, and wind would blow the
snow in onto the paper from which | was
reading to her.
The Empress went to see a process
sion on Corpus Christi Day. 1t took
place under the hot sun in Vienna, and
she returned to Schoenbrun Oyerheated.
She threw off her outer garments and
sat with dressing mantle around her
in the middle of her dressing-room, of
which the windows and opposite doors
were open to cause draught. Then
the Empress drank lemonade and ate
iced awberries, and while doing SO,
in order to lose no time, she had her
beautiful long hair brushed.
Service to the Empress was often
very painful during the winter, as one
had to work with cold hands and the
body would shake with cold, while the
Empress did not seem to feel any thing
of it,
1t is told of Kaunitz, who was much
spoiled, that when he came to make a
report to the Empress he was wrapped
in furS, so as not to catch cold in her
rooms-London Telegraph.

CUPID,S PROTEST.

The world is whirling madly,
Receptions, balls and teas,
And invitations fiutter
Like leaves upon the breeze;
One meets the dear Four Hundred
AT every turn, may be,
But still there's one face missing
Young Cupid: Where is he:
The de5ufdntes so lovely.
In gauzy gowns OF white,
Behind a wealth of roses
Are nearly hid from sight.
Mammals in richest raiment
Preside with beaming smile
Amid their budding beauties:
Where's Cupid all this whilef
Alone, within a corner,
With wings a-droOping low;
His arrows lie UNDECIDED.
Unstrung his crafty bow:
I'm sadly out of fashion;
It's very plain to see
To-day that men and maidenS
Have little need of me.
When two sit on stairway
1 stealthily draw near
A mystic Browning murmur
Falls on my list'ning ear:
And where, with dim-lit fragrance,
ConServatorieS lure
And fountains play, they whisper
The tenets of mind-cure,
Strange that those hearts so tender
Can all my arts withstand
Amid the strains expensive
OF that Hungarian band.
While klunder's richest roses
Shed fragrance every where
But, oh, the bliss of stealing
One sweet flower from her hair.
~Oh, de6utdEtes so charming
Who WELD a mighty power,
Come, let these fads be bauished,
Talk nonsense by the hour;
Give Cupid kindly welcome,
For still he waits to show
To modern men and maidens
The love of long ago
