In the pugiistic world now it is
nothing but Sullivan, Sullivan,
Sullivan. Slavin Is continually
barking at him, Peter Mahor
wants four round go with him
and many of the lesser lights in
the ring are telling that the day OF
SulIivan's supremacy is past, For
all the barking and horping, how
ever, the big fellow has nothing
but contempt He is bound to
remain on the stage for some
months yet, but when his theatrl-
cal contract expires it is imagined
there will be a terrible reckoning.
Sullivan's greatest enemy never
did hlm the Injustice of calling
him coward, and when he is free
to sign articles for a mill he will
show himself the same manly
fellow as of yore. But aspirants
for championship honors will DO
scarce then.

TWENTY-FIVE or"

A want of familiarity with business
practices sometimes leads to amusing,
and sometimes to EN- barrassing results;
and occasionally to both, A woman
who kept small seaside hotel thought
it would be profitable to bring the fact
to the attention of the public. Accord
ingly she drafted a suitable advertise
ment, and carried it to the counting
room of newspaper, where she in
quired the expense of several inser-
tions.
1t was the custom Of this paper, where
advertisements were inserted more
than four times, to deduct twenty-five
per cent from the usual rates. The
clerk read over what she had written,
estimated the space it would require,
and said: ut will come to twenty-six
dollars; but as it is going in over four
times, it will be twenty-five Off"
"Ohw she exclaimed. "Why, that S
very reasonable" and putting down a
dollar she started for the door.
1t was difficult to tell which was the
more embarrassed, the landlady or the
clerk, when he called her back and eN-
planned that twenty-five" Off meant
twenty-five per cent, and not twenty
five dollars. Youths Companion.

And the Line She Needed Most Was Lack
Ing.
She was crazy about palmistry. She
had bought half a dozen books and
studied the lines and the mounts and
the islands and the crosses and the
stars, and she had read her Henry s
fortune time and again. So he under
took TO read her hand one night, with
her help.
This is my heart line, dear" she
said, as she traced her fingers across
the palm.
Eyes, your heart line"
"You see how well defined and strong
it is!'
Eyes, beloved, but it is not quite
straight and this book says that those
little lines running out of it are evi.
dences of previous affections.
"Oh, but this great big break is you
Then there's my head line"
Eyes, darling, If your heart were as
level as your head-I mean in palmistry
Il would not be so Jealous"
But you mustn't read it like that
What are you looking for?"
He was very anxiously scanning the
book and the hand.
Dearest, l love you You have &
magnificent life line and a splendid
heart line and level head line, but
"Well?"
81 am poor, and if you could only
show me the kitchen line, the future
would be an unbroken dream of happi
ness. ALBANY Argus.

turn of fashions wheel, and we have
the most delicate tints and tones, and
colors so light that one could fancy our

green and dull pink are among the most
popular colors Cloth, suitings camels
hair and fine twills of various sorts are
shown in small checks or narrow
stripes, in which are white, yellow,
light blue and tan, gray or brown
threads, A handsome plaid is made up
of dull pink, pale blue, nut brown and
lemon yellow threads in about equal
proportions, Another has a predomi-
nance of the yellow glazing green
which is one of the leading colors OF
the season, and will be very generally
used in millinery as well as in suitings.

awhile, and then he opened up again:
''These are the days." said he that

The Sunshine of Smilas-

There is one kind of sunshine which
it is needful to bring into every home,
and that is the sunshine of smiles"
Next to the sunlight and warmth OF
heaven is that of cheerful face. Nc
one can long withstand its influence;
no one can mistake it. A bright eye, an
unclouded brow, sunny smile, low
ing word, all tell of the peace and JOY
that dwell within. One glance at such
a face has lifted the mists and shadows
from many a heavy heart and scattered
the fog from many a burdened spirit.
A bright warm, cheerful face inside
the home will drive away gloom and
render it impossible for it to exist The
germs of disease, which may Turk
at times in the most elegantly furnish
ed room if kept dark. will vanish away
before the bright and CHEEKY sunlight
Open, therefore, the windows of your
heart and let tue sunshine n.-Quiver
