He recks not of his coming age,
To him the world is bright and green.

Who feels the pierce of Sorrows lantz,
See my own wreck pretty muss
And loudly yell, my name is Pantz."

For one of our S25 90 bed room suits.
An ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure; a look at these suits is
better than a column of talk. We are
perfectly willing to tell you all about
them, TO tell you how excellent they are
in quality and how remarkably reason
able in price, but We are infinitely more
willing to have you see them, If only for
an instant. They will appeal to your
eye, to your taste, to your good judg-
ment and to your pocketbook as no ether
bed room suit ever did. This is rather a
f~1at-footed and positive proposition, but
you will see how true it is if you will put
it to a test.

Erervthinc was LoveIy.

The first girl was telling her friend all
about the funeral. She put her handker
chief to her eyes occasionally rs she spoke,
and it was plain that she was deeply af-
fecte6.
Poor Julia is dead" she said slowly,
land today went to her funeral. Oh, it
was the loveliest funeral ever saw. There
were nineteen lovely hacks and a lovely
hearse, all trimmed with lovely plumes
that nodded in the sad winds just lovely"
She wiped away a falling tear and went
on: IL went in the house with great
many misgivings | was afraid l should
be overcome, for Julia was one of the best
friends | ever had. She had such lovely
character Well, the house was thronged.
Everything was just lovely. Poor Julia
was laid out in lovely ccfiin, all covered
with lovely roses, and there was besides
the loveliest collection of crosses and
crowns on the floor. The preacher preached
a lovely sermon, telling all about what a
lovely character the girl had, of her lovely
temper, and of the lovely angels who would
lovingly welcome her through the golden
gates Excuse me while / dry these flow
ing tears"
She dried
"But it was when l came to look at the
dear face of the dead girl that was most
overcome Her hair was smoothed down
in lovely bang, just as l used to know
her in life. Her complexion was lovely
and white, for, you know, she suffered
dreadfully, and was bleached to the lowell.
est white tint | ever saw And could not
help thinking, as | gazed upon my dead
friends dead face, if she could only get up
and look in the glass and note her lovely
complexion in death, the terrors of the
dark journey might well be lightened for
her. A lovely bunch of roses held in her
hand made her look true to life"
Here the rising flow of grief came back
again, The dog on the mat arose, walked
around the room three times and then laid
down and died. But no one seemed TO
notice it.-New York Recorder.

She Wanted the Pin Badly.

,''rve heard of a girl pawning her en-
gagement ring to buy her lover a Christ
mas present, but never heard anything
stranger than story told me while out
west recently" said the barber, as he strop-
ped his razor the other day.
I'm a combination jewelry and pawn
shop diamond pin was exhibited for sale
1t caught the fancy of young lady. The
more she gazed on the pin the more she
wanted it for the man she loved
"She went home and got all the money
she possessed. Coming back to the store,
she asked the price of the PIN and found
it few dollars more than she had.
Haven't you any old gold that you can
turn into cash?" asked the jcweler I'VE
will buy old gold at any time"
The girl thought minute. Suddenly
she frightened up and took set of teeth
from her mouth. The plate was of solid
gold.
Cant you use thatP" she asked the
pawnbroker?
II shall have to weigh it," he said
"All right"
"And to weigh it / shall have to knock
the teeth off"
"Knock them off, then"
The broker did so, weighed the plate and
found that its value made up the lack and
ninety-three cents.
The girl took her ninety three cents and
the diamond, and went out with hand
kerchief over her mouth.-Boston Herald.

How Chinese Pull Teeth.

eve have Il powder which rids us of our
bad teeth in China" said See Now Lin.
"The doctor comes, and thisis what he does:
He gets little powder on his finger and
rubs it on the tooth. Then he does this"
BY way of illustration Now Lin slapped his
right shoulder with his left hand. Then
he opened his mouth and said as near us
the sound can be eproduced-ch-sch.
"Then out comes the TOOTH There is very
little blood"
"Do you deal in the POWDER"
Nov jim shook his head and smiled q
Chinese smile. 1--WE do not bring it here"
he said in his rather imperfect English
mo use in bringing it here. The voyage
over the ocean destroys the good of the
powder"
''Is anything used with the POWDER"
eyes, sometimes. Now, here is little
front tooth. Well, the powder is all that
is necessary for that. But suppose it be q
tooth here" Lee Now Lin placed his fin.
ger at the farther corner of the lower left
jaw. "You see" he went on, "some teeth
are like four legged tables, and others are
like two legged ones. When it is a four
legged one the doctor puts piece OF
plaster on the temple, applies the powder,
hits the man on the shoulder, and out
comes the tooth. There is very little
blood. 1t is much easier than drawing
teeth in this country, and the price is only
about five cents or a dime st Louis
Globe Democrat.

Picking the Teeth at Table.

The practice of serving toothpicks as a
course is no longer observed in polite so,
ciety. Neither are they used as side,
board decoration and centerpiece for the
table Neither are they served along with
after dinner coffee, and it is not polite tc
pick the teeth at table; it is rather the act
of scavenger even if the face and mouth
are covered by a napkin, as some people
seem to think is correct. Really refined
people suffer pain rather than to pick their
teeth at the table. A person might as well
brush the teeth at the meal, and it would
be quite rs agreeable diversion. The
toothpick is properly an article of toilet
and for the bathroom and the dressing
room, and not for the dining room. People
do not clean their nails at the table, which
would be far more preferable than the
opening of cavernous mouths.
The time has really come when some
thing should be said about this disgusting
toothpick fad Better go to the dentist
and have the holes plugged up with gold
and cement instead of prying meat out
with a toothpick. The whole thing is
pandering to low taste instead of high
one, and it is high time that it ceased to
be a custom, or to be tolerated as such.-
Exchange.

Mortality in the South.

By the census statistics the mortality
among whites for the census year 1880 was
14.74 per 1000 for the whole United States,
including the south; and for the southern
states alone, from Maryland to Louisiana
inclusive, it was but 14.04 per 1000. by
the best of all demonstrations, therefore,
the south is proving the salubrity of her
climate, the fertility Of her soil, the extent
of her natural resources and her fitness
for the support of a large population. An
empire in extent, her lands are still not
one-half occupied Her population per
square mile averages about one-third that
of the average northern state, and but one
fifth that of the more populous ones
