cannot all think alike, snd that Is the
reason why We now and then run across
an original thought expressed IN an
original way.
IF more people fancy that the present
tariff arrangement Is more oenehelal 70
them than the other, more people VIII

horizon Will clear up again, another prize
fight will be brought 70 our notice. and
the march OF Improvement will be once
more resumed.
And now If you will explain that
method of enumeration 10 me, We may
go on board our train"
Eyes, indeed" said the studious man
as he carefully folded his napkin, there
by revealing the fact that he lived
simply when at home, and that his wife
attended 70 her own work. "You see, |

fore the great work of finishing my col

II read some time ago that Mr.. Glad
stone owed his long life to the fact that
he used great care and method IN masti-
eating bis food, counting the number Of
bites carefully. giving thirty-two. for
instance, 70 steak, and from that down
10 two for ice cream. l have had TO
raise the rate on steak good deal on
this trip and lower it on tea At home
We have q very careful method of masri-
eating, as has Mr.. Gladstone at Hawar-
den, and . child who swallows his pie
even without giving it the regular num-
Der of bites has to pay a penalty Of
twenty chews on our beautiful CHI
mate. 1t Is very CHEEKY TO sit at our
table and watch and listen to the con-
versation mingled with the enumeration.
Sometimes we have q concert at
table. and the counting Is done to music.

accompaniment for fried tripe which

nocturne for shad, with half and three

Il Is beautiful. The grapeskin polka is
also very fetching. and a soup somnam-
bula IN b nat Is popular. Ny children are

Gladstone really has sliding scale of
enumeration like child who is binding

An Englishman got on at Greensboro.
Evidently a Pullman sleeping car was a
new thing TO him. 1t probably just hap
pened so accidentally, but one could see
that he was not familiar with it. The
berths were not yet made up, and it was
clear that he could not figure out how
one might sleep there three dollars
worth he begged my pardon, but was
this the sleeping car? said that it was
SO regarded.
Then he did not say anything for quite
awhile. Finally he begged pardon again
and inquired if that car went through to
New York. / said that from the talk
had with the railroad authorities sus-
pected that it would do so.
Just then the porter opened the berth
of No. o in such way as to squat the
life out Of q lady's new butterfly bonnet,
and my friend saw at once that the car
could DO what Is called metamorphosed
in moment. When his berth had been
made up saw him take his satchel and

nothing Of It till later on was aroused
from my brown study. which was then
at, by the entrance of figure and the
pattering Of bare feet along the aisle OF

haunted. for I hardly recognised the
