How Girl Appreciates Courteous Thing
DelIcately Done.
"There are some lovely men in the
world, even if they are scarce"
1t was a pretty girl who was thus
philosophically mingling opticism and
pessimism in her view of the less as
suming half of humanity. She pro-
ceeded to illustrate her position as fol-
lows
''The other day l had to go down
town by myself. l am not so very used
to going down town, and there is pre-
ponderance of masculinity down there
that always scares me little. This
time / went on the elevated road and
got off at Rector street. 1t was about
eleven o'clock in the morning, and the
train and the station were black with
men. There was not a woman, sister
woman, to be seen when the lace of my
petticoat caught in something just as
was leaving the car, and with loud,
triumphant Zig ripped off to the eX-
tent of about two yards. There was
all this white stuff hanging, and / had
to get rid of it some way. l stepped to
one side and began trying to tear the
lace across, but the lace was as strong
as the sewing had proved weak; not
thread of it would give Every one of
the stream of men passing turned his
head to look at me struggle, and could
feel my face crimson with eXertion and
modification. That kind of situation
has a hasheesh' effect, and though it
seemed like hours L suppose it was
only minute, till gentleman, busily
talking to a companion, passed close to
me and, hardly turning his eyes my
way, held out an opened pocketknife;
then he walked on very slowly and ap-
parently absorbed in conversation. 1t
was the work of a second to sever that
lace, roll it up in my muff and return
him his knife. My gratitude Was too
deep to express itself in what the plays
call the smooth, hollow phrases of So

lips, but am sure l looked things un-

slightest bow, and touching his hat re-
turned to his muttons with his friend.

Portraits of Great Men.

1t would be great help if with every
picture of man could be published
little table setting forth his height and
weight and other physical characters
tics. Sheridan on the $40 bill looks as
large as Hancock on the SO bill; but
Hancock was a head taller than Sheri-
dan, and would have made two of him.
Grant was not a tall man. Oliver Wen.
dell Holmes isn't five feet six; probably
five feet three is nearer his height.
Maurice B. Flynn, always depicted in
evening dress, was short and slender.
Powderly is short. The caricatures of
many well-lxnown men misrepresent
their size, possibly with intention.
George William Curtiss is tall, ''big''
man, not in the least wasp wasted.
Sir John Macdonald, the ruler of Cana
da, is not the tall man that his pictures
make him. but is short, slender and
STOPPING. Stanley, the explorer, is very
short. Longfellow's leonine head
seemed to imply large body, but the
poet was short man. So one might go
through long list of famous persons
whose photographs show their faces,
but do not give any real idea of the men
who own the faces.-N. Y. World.

INC swiss Guard,s MIstate.

disappearing is allowed during car
nival time in certain italian towns be-
tween sunset and sunrise, but not during
business hours of the day. Cardinal
Mazella being lately at Pisa, and having
an official visit to pay to some dignitary
who lived close to his hotel, set out on
foot in his scarlet robe and beretta. A
policeman, unaccustomed to see aprince
of the church unattended and walking
in the street, stopped his eminence and
severely informed him that it was for
hidden to go about "disguised' in broad
daylight. He had taken the cardinal for
a hummer. This was better, however,
than what happened to cardinal at the
last ecumenical council, when a great
crowd of bishops were pressing into ST.
Peters, so that the Swiss guards could
not keep a way clear for the pope and
his suite. One of these men, impatient
at being showed about, lifted the stock
of his halbert, and ramming it behind
him hit a cardinal in Che pit of the stom-
ach. A moan from his eminence caused
the guard to look round upon which he
humbly excused himself on the ground
that he thought he was hitting bishop.

STANLEY'S SERVANT.
How He Was Taken for a Prince by Some
Titled Ladies.

"You know" said Milward Adams, of
the Auditorium, 'that Stanley has an
Arab body servant WHOM he picked up
in Africa. This persons name is Sail,
and Stanley thinks a great deal of him,
for once in the interior of Africa Sail
saved the explorers life. He is a good
looking, swarthy young fellow, though
not black like negro. On Stanley's
trips three times across Africa, Sail
was with him and the two became much
attached to each other. So when Stan
ley came back to civilization he brought
Sail with him, and he carries the Arab
youth everywhere with him.
''Sali has nothing to do but wear
picturesque toggery of the Arab sort,
with red fez which quite sets him off
and gives him really distinguished air.
One time shortly after Stanley had re-
turned to England he was the honored
guest at lawn party where only the
biggest of England's social lions were
invited. Stanley takes him everywhere.
and would stay away from the queens
castle if Sail were barred. Some
how it got whispered about among the
titled ladies present that Sail was an
Arab or African prince, and, the idea
having been suggested, gossiping
tongues quickly accepted the fact.
Presently, greatly to Stanley's surprise,
he noticed Sail with the duchess of So
and SO on one arm and the Baroness
Blank on the other, parading up and
down, while other titled ladies followed
them about. When luncheon came Sail
took one of his new found admirers in
to lunch and responded to the your
highpesses' that were showered upon
him with perfect equanimity. He was
smart enough to take advantage of the
error and to be for little while men,
ber of royalty himself
'After luncheon a number of the
ladies confided to Stanley that they
were charmed with Prince Sail, his COM
panion, and asked to know all about
him. Stanley, with an amused twinkle
in his eye, told them that Sail was
model servant and that he thought
everything of him. The ladies were
fearfully mortified and hastened to Sc
clude themselves for the rest of the
afternoon. You see, in England it
makes all the difference in the world
whether you are charming in yourself
or whether there is handle to your
name. Chicago Post.

A Dinner DelIcacy.

A dish of salted almonds is an agree
able adjunct to dinner and serves to
pass the time between courses. They
may be prepared as follows To cup
full of blanched almonds add table,
spoonful of melted butter or olive oil.
Stir well and and let them stand for an
hour, then sprinkle with salt, using an
even tablespoonful for each cup of nuts.
Now pour the nuts into a baking-tin,
place in moderately hot oven and bake
until brown, stirring them occasionally
while they are browning. The recipe
may be increased to suit any amount of
nuts desired. They are served in a
small bon-bon, olive or almond dishes,
and one or two dishes for dozen guests
are sufficient, as they are intended
simply as dehcacies, and are not to be
eaten in quantity. Peanuts are also
served in the same way, and are very
appetizing. g.--N. Y. Ledger.
