Not Lost.

A Japanese nobleman once gave an Or
iginal lesson in political economy. One
evening as he was going to the palace to
take his turn in keeping the night
watch, he let ten cash drop out of his
tinder case into the stream, and then
bought fifty cash worth of torches to
search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at him for spending SO much
in order to recover SO little, and he re-
piled with frown: "Sirs, you are fool
ish and ignorant Of economies Had I
not sought for these ten cash they would
have been lost forever-sunk in the bot.
tom of the Nameri-gawa. The fifty cash
which have expended on torches will
remain in the hands of the tradesman.
Whether he has them or is no matter;
but not one of the sixty has been lost, and
that is clear gain to the country"

THE WOMAN oE FORTY.
1T That Age the Fair Sex Has Attain ed
the Most Attractive GraceA

At That Age the Fair Sex Has Attained
tho Most Attractive Graces
AT forty, if ever, the ladies know how
to make the most of themselves, which
is untrue of the vast majority in the
twenties. Perhaps at no other age is the
best type of women more strikingly
beautiful. She understands how to ex-
ercise her gifts and charms in most eff
fective fashion.
The grace of perfect self-possession,
often wanting in young women, is hers.
Ii she was diffident, awkward, and in
experienced, contact with society has re-
moved these imperfections. If she was
gushing, emotional, affected, and too
talkative, she has corrected these faults
and is warily winsome where before she
was positively wearisome. In the nor
NAL evolution of taste she has acquired
the rare art Of dressing faultlessly and
80 avoiding the detracting infelicities Of
earlier years. Her selections of style.
color, and material harmonize with her
figure, complexion, and the occasion,
and she doesn't look "a day over thirty"

later life, when her fine complexion
fades, wrinkles leave their year marks
across her brow, silver threads herglossv
hair, her eyes lose their luster and her
step its sprightliness. She may always
be agreeable, but never again so fascinat-
ing.
The woman of forty! She is distract
ing, delightful divinel Her society is a
solace which robs remembrance of all re-
morse and poverty of all pain. The spell
of her dark, depthless eyes wakens lat
ent emotions into ecstatic life while the
music of her voice thrills and fills the
soul with JOY unspeakable. Grace, good
ness, and gentleness supplement- the rare
and ravishing beauty of face and figure,
and her welcoming smile is a precious
prize, besides which wealth and learning
and kingdoms are but dross. Luxuriant
nature. in the infinite plentitude of her
blessings, has bequeathed to man naught
else SO intoxicating and incompatible as
the woman of forty.-Troy Press.

Before wife has gained the dignity Of
uncertain as to how she shall speak of
her husband by name to others-when to
allude to him as "Mr. Jones" when to
use his first name, when to give him his
title, should he possess one. Well-bred
women may be trusted never to use their
husbands Christian name in speaking Of
him to any one, except near relative OF
very dear friend of both. But, sometimes,
women who should know better address
their husbands in company or before SER
wants in this unconventional fashion. A
woman never makes mistake if she
speaks of "Mr. Jones" or "My husband.
1t is sometimes difficult to decide, when
the husband has title just what the
wife should do with it. This is tho
severest rule: She should not say "Gen-
eral A." or doctor B." but "Mr.
A." or Mr.. B." No matter what
he is-judge, governor. captain-to her
he is and should be plain "Mr. Jones'. " The
Que exception to this rule of ignoring her
husbands official or professional titles, is
when the wife presents him to any one
else. Then she says, my husband, SEN
ator Smith. or, simply, doctor Jones.
The reason for this is evident. 1t gives
the proper clew to the stranger, who
would wish, of course, to address the
new acquaintance with the proper title.
Last of all, let any woman take heed how
she wears her husbands title and allows
herself to be spoken of as "Mrs. Gov
ernor Jones, or "Mrs. Secretary Smith.
No matter what title her husband has,
she has no more right to wear it than she
has to wear his shoes.

APseullar Set of cu.tom.rs.

A drummer from a cloth-importine
house in Worth street, New York, tried
to sell some goods to a Chatham street
dealer. and he argued that line of
marked-down suitings would serve the
customers of the dealer just as we'll as
the latest spring styles. The old man
examined the samples, listened to the
arguments, and then said, emphatically
"Dey will not do fer me"
"Why not?" urged the salesman.
"Your customers would never know the
difference.
"Dey would; dey would. My customers

"What?" gasped the drummer.
Il say dey vos birds-eggs."
The visitor hesitated. The answer to
