A Connecticut Poet.

There is movement in Connecticut tC
erect a monument to the memory of the
poet, James Gates Percival. He was q
peculiar man and had all of the poets
idiosyncrasies. On one occasion he was
invited to meet a number of gentlemen
in New Haven, who were in their turn
notified that they were to have the pleas.

lowance was made for his utter indiffer-
ence to the passing Of time, and up to
midnight he was expected.
At last, as morning drew near, deem
ing it certain that the poet had forgot
ten the invitation, the guests went home
and the host put up the bars and went
to bed. At about ? o'clock in the morn
ing he heard some one at his front door,
went down, asked the object of the call
and found that it was Percival. The as
tonished host let the poet in, and the lat
ter blandly said that he had inferred
from what had been said that there were
to be others present. The host told him
that the others had all gone home. The
poet expressed regret and settled him.

A Queer Business In China.

In China a baldheaded man of almost
any age can within the space of 4S hours
be transformed into blooming youth
as far as the hair is concerned; or a
beardless youth of IS can be made to
look like 60 within the same length of
time by having planted upon his face q
genuine gray beard four feet long; or an
old maid without eyebrows can be trans
formed into a girl of sweet 16 by being
fitted out with Il beautiful pair of brand
new eyebrows or eyelashes of any color.
1t is not very costly operation in any
case, although it is little painful, but
then as it is only temporary, what mat
ter does it make to have beauty restored
to you if YOU do have to suffer little
pain for only "a hours or even As hours.
Without it you may have to be poor and
homely all your life.-Wong Chin Foo

for an impecunious young lawyer.

has $4,000 year of her own, and she
spends every penny of it upon her clothes.
Her dresses last year cost about 81 DOC, her
hats and bonnets about $500, her lingerie
another $500, and besides there are her
jackets, gloves and all the other Access

ception in her world; most of her friends
spend quite as much and many great

General Vallejo and Fremont.

When the destiny of the province of
California hung in the balance, and Eng
land and Russia, as well as the United
States, eagerly held out hands for the
prize, General Vallejo unhesitatingly
gave his adherence to the stars and
stripes. Fremont doubted and impris-
oned him, but soon set him free.
One day during that imprisonment a
young American officer, doubtless a spy
sent by Fremont, rode up to the family
residence i'll Sonoma, and Offering TO
Mrs. Vallejo an English and an Ameri-
can flag asked in Spanish. Sonora,
which of these do you prefer
The lady looked at him a moment as
if to read his purpose; then clasping the
American flag to her bosom she kissed
its folds and said: This is the flag my
husband has taught me to love. 1t is
the one he wishes to see wave over his
beloved California
The officer smiled, and bowling grace
fully to all present took his departure.
A lady who stood watching the cour-
teous American as he rode away turned
to Mrs. Vallejo and said, mo es Oso"

peor., Who Take onense Easily.

In this world there are certain clas.
of individuals who roam about with 6
chip on their shoulders, daring others te
knock it off just for the luxury of in
dulging in first class quarrel. To the
gentle hammered, sweet dispositioneG
ones this seems a very questionable sort
of enjoyment, yet to some a wordy wal
or full fedged feud constitutes the
chief excitement of their lives.
These people always have quarrel OF

haven't chance to do 20 verbally. It il
this penchant for writing letters that
helps to keep them continually in hot
water, as the black and white characters
are decided evidence against them even
after their anger has had time to cool.
Now, if there were any sense in this
sort of conduct, there would be some ex
cuse for it, but there isn't, and, more
over, it makes you doubly unhappy to be

Bad Manners In the Use of Words.

The laws of common courtesy hold in
the use of words as well as dishes. AS
unconsciously as you turn the handle of
the pitcher in passing it should you turn
the handle of your sentence and present
your thought right side up. You would
not toss the book you are asked for across
the floor and leave your brother to pick
it up. Why toss your answer in similar
hit or miss rudeness:
1t is not rudeness of manner to which
/ refer, but the rudeness of not making
your sentence at least neat. The most
admirable and affectionate of persons
will fill your ears with a thousand need
less words that do but conceal their
meaning, or make some noncommittal
reply which forces you to repeat your
question.
y very large part of the misunder-
standings i'll life, with all the sin and
sorrow resultant. is traceable to this
same carelessness, this stupidity, these
inexcusably bad manners, in the use of
words.-Charlotte p. Stetson in Kate
Fields Washington.

The Modern Shave.

"The nose pulling barber is hard to
find now unless one goes into the cheap
Shops" said George D. Hamilton Of
Memphis. ''There was time not SO
many years ago when a barber would
take you by the nose if he had to shave
your upper lip and almost pull the pro.
tuberance up by the roots. a friend OF
mine told me he went into shop once,
and the barber asked him if he would
have thumb or spoon shave, meaning
thereby that if my friend was fastidious
about having the barber jab his thumb
in the corner of his mouth to extend his
jaw he would use a spoon for that pur-
pose. But those days are gone. Even
the talking barber is a missing link be-
tween the new and the old tonsorial
schools. All the disagreeable features of
a shave have disappeared, and the opera
ton is now smooth and pleasant. The
only people who find anything disagree
able in the process are those who shave
themselves or who get shave in Scent
shop."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Population of the Moon.

There is plenty of authority for be-
lieving that there is a man in the moon;
in fact, there is authority for believing
that there are women and other animals
there. Dante declares that Cain was
banished to the moon, and that he can
be seen there at any time. Chaucer de-
clares that the man in the moon was
guilty of larceny, and that he carries a
thornbush. Shakespeare loads him with
thorns and gives him a dog. Accord
ing to the general version, he was ban
ished there for gathering sticks on Sun
day, and the Germans have amplified
this theory by giving him a woman who
had been caught churning butter on
Sunday.-New York Telegram.

Deaths Due to BAD Milk.

Five thousand little graves are dug
each year in Philadelphia for babies, and
5000 little headstones are yearly set up
over their graves, all due to deaths
traceable to the diseases which spring
from wrong feeding. In the overwhelm-
ing majority of instances the poor food
of which these babies die is bad milk,
diseased milk or skinned milk. Deaths

a Cheeky Customer.

Il had a unique but tantalizing expe-

works in Kansas City hair store. "a
man came into our place and asked to
look at some false boards. OF course he
was accommodated, and he spent over
an hour going over the lot, trying them
on and examining himself in glass. He
took up my time, and after he had ex-
amined everything in that line in the

considering whether to raise beard or
not and wished to see how he would look
