In London a century ago it was no
uncommon practice ON the part Of the
fast men" 10 drink bumpers to the
health Of lady out Of her shoe. The
Earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in
The Conn0isseur, relates an incident OF
this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served up for
supper.
1.-THE cook set himself seriously to
work upon it. He pulled the upper part
(Which was Of fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into a ragout,
minced the sole, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter and
placed them round the dish for garnish.
The company testified their affection for
the lady by eating heartily Of this ex-
quisite impromptu."

A Young Woman Writer Disooarses on
an Important Part of Man.
| Why do young men take such pride
In their mustaches? IL is, suppose, be-
cause they think mustache is orna-
mental Is it? Why do men have clean
Shaven lips when they could grow mus
taches2 And why do men wear half a
dozen struggling hairs when they ought
to have them shaved off? Why will men
continue to spend hours every day in
training the hair on their upper lip,
when it doesn't make them look any
more handsome, when it is annoying to
their sweethearts by scratching their
cheeks, when it prevents a cigar being
smoked more than half through, and
when it shows a horrid propensity for
getting mixed up with the food?
l don't think mustaches are orna-
mental. The ideal mustache has yet
to be invented, IL must not draggle,
nor be used as a shield to hide ones bad
teeth, nor be fierce. And oh, it must
not be waxed or loaded! What do men
say of women who use greasel When
you are enjoying spoon Don't you think
it takes all the romance ont of the thing
by having a nasty, cosmeticized piece of
hair edge its way against your lips2
And isn't it exasperating wh,H your
lover leads his mustache and never tells
you? You go home with your face like
a metropolitan extension map, and feel
very uncomfortable when father and
mother say there have been a lot OF smuts
about, for your face has got quite dirty.
No, mustaches are neither useful nor
ornamental, Were man and capa-
BILE of growing a most luxuriant mus
tache | would cut it off. A clean shaver
man looks much the incest. Girls like
beardless face. They are content TO
know that whiskers and all the rest
could be there if they were wanted.
You see, man with mustache is
generally bit Of fop, and girls don't
like tops. If n man doesn't keep It
trimmed it gets struggling and ragged;
if he does keep it trimmed then he
appears conceited. He is eternally
twisting it this way, giving it a curl
that way, stroking it and patting it, I'M
til he loses all character for manliness.
Now, clean shaver man seems TO be
dignitied. Women love dignity. Why
is it they are always so fond of curates
especially high church-and actors?
Simply because they shave. Women
want in men a smooth, clear cut face
not with a great bunch Of hair stuck out
under the nose. Whoever heard OF the
Greeks having mustaches? Whoever
saw a statue Of a Greek god with a
mustache unless he were an old god and
wore beard as well?
Mustaches are not ornamental, be-
cause they rarely suit the face, because
they are protuberance and hide the
outline Of the month, and because, with
a mustache, man is frightened TO
laugh, as it disarranges it. Only few
women care for them. Men think all
women do. That is a mistake. "a Fair
Critic" in London Tit.Bits.

consequence of the net of an ancestor
two thousand years ago, who inveigled
a king into eating human flesh. As a
consequence the beautiful race is ut the

TRIED TO BE AGREEABLE.
h Embarrassing Mistake Made by u
Travelling Man.

aThSti1ng MAN,
About the first thing the man with n
travelling case and dropping mustache
noticed upon entering the train was
the pretty young woman with a baby
sitting by'herself In the forward end OF
the car. The man looked exceedingly
aHable as he slid into the seat immedi-
ately behind the pretty young woman,
and within the space of u minute and a
half he had made friends with the baby
by means of Il series of wild pantomimic
demonstrations.
"A-goo, a-goo."
The man with the dropping mustachc
thrust his head forward SYSTEMATICALLY
and emitted q sound resembling the
gurgle of water running from u jug.
The infant was visibly pleased.
"Whose baby is oo?'
The man was clearly working the
child only as u means to nm end. He
glanced furtively now and then at the
pretty oman She looked steadily
from tbs window.
"Docs 90 love oo mlmma?"
The AR thrust his finger playfully
among the baby's ribs and was re-
warded with u delightful screech.
pretty baby, pretty mamma"
The man thrust his head forward with
still greater ostentation and opened his
eyes very wide. The woman gazed ab.
stractedly at the landscape.
Pardon me, madam
He leaned over the back of the seat
with respectful micn.

The pretty woman turned her head al

"Ah, yes"
The mar with the dropping mustache
sighed.
"And this cherub-"
He chuclsed the baby under the chm
"Of yours Is the sweetest--'
A look of Mortified establishment in
vested the pretty woman's countenance.
Dear me-" she suddenly exclaimed,

Growth Of the Order.

The report Of Supreme Chancellor
Shaw says.
At the time our Pythian congress was last in
session, July. 1880. the numerical strength OF
the membership, US shown by the reports for
the year ended December 81, 1850, were as fol-
lows:
Numter OF grand lodges ................. A
Number of subordinate lodges ............ 1874
Membership OF the order. ............ e83, s1
The official report for the year ended
December 81, 1890, shows, viz:
Number OF grand lodges ........ 49,. 81
Number OF subordinate lodges. .......... l,2N
Membership OF the order ............ 3s, 20I
For the year ended December 81. 1891,
viz: .
Number Of grand lodges. ............ 81
Number OF subordinate lodges ........... 400
Membership OF tho order ...... ...........S Nj, PA
And official reports as Of July l, 1891,
show, viz:
Number Of grand lodges 81
Number of subordinate lodges ........... $500
membership OF the order .............. 800, 0OO
"These fgureS though approximate, ore
based upon reports so far received
From the foregoing - made tho fol-
lowing computation:
Membership OF the order July L 1890. . .... sss. 500
Membership OF the order July I, 1893 ..... 2Sd,O 00
Or on increase in the two years ended July I,
1892 OF i1a.oOO, being ~ tho rate OF nearly " per
cent for the time.
At the present rate of progress 1t will
be safe to say that the membership Is
now fully 400, 900.
From the foregoing it may be seer
that the increase of membership during
the present administration is approxi-
mately l1a, 900, being q greater number
of Knights of Pythias than composed
the entire membership of tho order at
the end of the first eighteen years of its
existence.
Concerning the growth of the rank
the report of the secretary will say:
Since April 1, 1899. dfty-nine sections
have been instituted, Lara members I'D
mittcd and s2, $50, 900 new endowments
has been issued. A comparison with
the same period OF n year ago.
o. well Us with the subsequent quar-
tiers, will show that there has been
a continuous increase IN tho new
membership and endowment over each
succeeding quarter. During tho first
half OF the year 1899 tho new sections
organized number 1874 Nearly 5000
applicants were admitted, and the en-
