Was it so much the better, OF so much

Lady Yorke fastened away, and I was
left to my own thoughts. Granted that it
was Nemesis, granted that Mark had done
wrong, it was a terrible punishment. 1t

him. l could sympathize with his diff

to that which he was most anxious to con-

Keeping a H0sDano a Lover.

During a discussion relating to the
management of husbands, Mrs. Yard
ley, a New York literary woman, SAID
that one great danger to marital hap
piness arose from seeking outside SYM
pathy when the charms OF romance.
poetry and sentiment found the dead
level of realty. 1.-THE troubles of mar
ried people," she said, should be
guarded as sacred secrets, for then the
differences r more easily adjusted
and harmony may be restored. One
great cause of turmoil is the money
relation. Another is that a man in
his friction with the worldforgets how
wearing are the small irritations OF
life. He is tired and does not wish to
listen to uninteresting details OF a
woman's small trials.
'The wife grows still and preoccu-
pied and dull, which furnishes him with
an excuse for %neglecting her, so they
drift away from each other. A woman
should never allowherselfto grow dull
and uninterestlng if she would keep
her husband a lover. If she would
preserve the romance of the counting
time she must be as entertaining and
anxious to please as in the days OF
the wooing."

Patrick was an employee in agroc-

the grocer, in weighing out a purchase

One Man Got the Report.

Five reporters of newspapers having
been instructed to take verbatim re-
ports of a speech by a celebrated
member of Parliament, to he made in
a neighboring town, left by a morning
train for a junction station, where
they hoped to catch another train
bound for the scene OF action. As
they travelled along they entered in
to an agreement not to take any I'M
fair advantage OF one another, no
matter what opportunity for doing
80 might present itself. They arrived
at the junction too late for the con-
Meeting train, and were in a difficulty
as to getting over the intervening
prospecting-four so thin scri beas{ hu MaVs
ing in advance of veritable Falstah.
At last they espied an old fashioned
wagon, drawn by a lean horse, and in
a very few minutes the t%reacherous
four were ensconced in the vehicle, fill
ing it completely. In vain did the
man of fat remind them of the agree
ment. His expostulations were re-
ceived with derision, and the driver
was ordered to start. The cheated
reporter appealed to the countryman,
Offering to give two pounds for q seat
on the dashboard. The offer was &C.
copied, and the man slipped down to
help him up.
"Stop!" whispered the reporter,
"Ill buy your horse for ten pounds,
cash down."
"Done!" said the driver, and the
| gold was handed over.
"Now," said the owner of thehorse,
"take him out of the traces and help
me on his back" :
1t was done, and the horse andride,
were soon lost to view. Next day ouly
one newspaper could give a full report
of the speechifylng at the meeting,
and four belated Journalists had q
bad time of it with their respective
editors.-Tit-Bi Bits.

To Set a Table.

Breakfast being the plainest meal of
the day. the arrangements of the ta-
BILE should always be simple, writes
Maria Parloa in her domestic depart
ment in the February Ladies' Home
Journal. The cloth should be spot
less. At each PERSONS seat place a
knife, fork, teaspoon or dessertspoon,
tumbler and napkin, and if fresh fruit
is to be served, a finger bowl if there
be no servant. Ii you have a waitress,
she will place the bowls on as you fin
ish with the fruit. If fresh fruit be
served there must also be placed at
each seat a fruit knife and plate. The
knives and spoons should be placed
at the right and the forks andnapkins
at the left; the tumblers to be at the
point of the knives. There should be
a space between the knife and fork for
a breakfast plate. Have the dish of
fruit in the center of the table. Have
a tray cloth at each end of the table.
Spread little butter plates at the top
of each plate. If individual salt and
pepper bottles be used, place them at
the side OF each plate. If large ones
place them at the corners of the table.
Put four tablespoons on the table,
either in two corners. or beside the
dishes that they will be used in serv.
ing. Put the carving knife and fork at
the head OF the table and the cups and
saucers, sugar and cream, cofee-pot,
hot-water bowl, ETC., and the mush
dishes at the other end.

for the famine stricken provinces of
Russia the steamship Indiana left here
on her voyage Of. mercy this afternoon
with the cheers and we'll wishes of
thousands and the strains of America
following her as she steamed down the
river. The great cargo she carried is
purely an American Offering.
The last sack of -four and the last bar
rel of provisions were lowered into the
hatch of the Indiana at 6 O'Clock last
evening. Twenty-Five Thousand sacks
of -four. the purchase of the relief com

The scene at the Washington street
wharf just previous to the departure of
the vessel vas one we'll calculated to
llnger in the memory of those who Wit
messed it. The vessel and wharfs were
crowded with people from all walks of
life. About 400 were admitted
to the Indiana's deck BY
special cards, while the general throng
lined every wharf and pier in the vicin-
ity. The exercises we're conducted on

out yer the river the Indiana pulled
into the steam with her n 70 . flags, made
specially for the OCCASION, and began
her long voyage. The flags which have
been presented to the vessel consist of
the national ensign of the United States,

TO BE
THE MIND TAKES A NAP.

Moments That Are Erroneously Be-
lieved To Be Spent in Thought.
In private conversation one day
last week one OF Chicago's Oldest and
most learned physicians gave utter
ance to the following:
why is it that when we see a per-
son gazing fixedly for severalmoments
vt a certain point on the floor or IN
the street, we say ne Dr. she is shrinking
hard about something? Nine times in
ten the person thus engaged-or olsen
gaged-is thinking of nothing. At such
times, if you only knew it, the mind 10
mapping and there is no thought.
Probably one of the Oldest fads-and
it seems to be nothing more-consists
ofpersons when at such times they are
asked what they are doing saying
thinking ha1d!'
"In the larger majority of cases
when a person is thinking hard or in
tently the eye roams from one object
to another and the hands and feet
are moving more or less.
"The busiest, hardest working brain
in the country insists on taking mo-
mentary maps several times a day.
Just before dropping off into one Of
these maps the mind commands the
eye to fix itself upon some object and
stay, thus usually insuring the hold
ing OF the head and probably every
part Of the body quiet. Then the
mind catches its little nap. These
little mind maps or flashes of rest
may never be more than twenty sec.
onds long, and yet they have been
full amount of good. They never
come to the deranged mind, and it
has also been discovered that the
supposedly sound mind which does
not take them is on the verge of in
sanity. Chicago Tribune.

select these goods in Europe. The

fitted to the figure as far as the waist
