DIE TO NERYousNEss.

l was visiting an old friend of minein
New Jersey recently. He lives in quiet
little suburban town which goes by the
euphonious name of Highville, and as he
seems to be perfectly contented, he ex-
hlbits the unusual combination of living
in New Jersey and also of being happy.
Highville is the proud possessor of two
churches, one being the Methodist and
the other the Episcopal. Both have
large and fashionable congregations, and
you can generally see number of New
Workers present. Highville is compare
lively near the city, and is rapidly grow
ing in favor as nice, quiet little place to
live in,
One Sunday about a month ago there
was new arrival in Highville. He came
on Saturday afternoon. and ON Sunday
morning, little before service was corr
menced, he entered the Episcopal church,
says a writer in the New York Herald.
He was past middle age, and wore a
beaming smile as he walked up the mid
die aisle, glancing from side to side.
The pew next to the front was vacant,
and he took a seat with a rather uncer-
tain air
Can sit here?" he said, speaking to
his neighbOr in the adjoining pew.
"Oh, yes; the pews are free"

intimate friend of Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land"
Certainly"
"Who is the minister?''
"Mr. COwles."
HAS he been long in Highville?"
Eyes, half a dozen years."
He was evidently uneasy, and stood up
facing the congregation with an expect
ant air. He turned to a gentleman who
sat behind him and said, i'll an eXplana-
tory way:
II am expecting a friend, an intimate
friend of Mr.. Grover Cleveland Can |
sea- her here?"
Certainly"
He was not satisfied. Perhaps she
was already in the church, and he walked
down the aisle, peering into every face.
He had already seated himself again
before lady and child appeared in the
aisle, to whom he hastily offered seats.
is this your pew, madam"
Eyes, sir"
"May sit here?"
Certainly"
II wish to offer seat to a friend OF
mine whom | am eX Expecting. She is an

To this there was no answer, merely a
| bow. Our friend continued
"What is your name standing up and
leaning over the chil0?''

with an l."

He is restless and looks around. A lady
and gentleman appear. He gives seat
to the pair Again the question:
What is your name?"
Dent"
"My anne is Walton. Mrs. Dent al
low me to introduce you to my friend,
! Mrs. Paine" He. is. evidently used to
the amenities of polite society, and fears
the ladies might not feel at ease sitting
side by side in church without an intro
ductiOn.
Another restless waiting. Then MOTTO
ing Mr.. Dent, who has taken ii scat ia a
corner OF the pew, he goes over to him,
and asks:
Won't you take my seat?"
mo, thank YOU"
"You can't see the minister over
there"
"Nn matter"
In the meantime the services com
mence. Mr.. Walton seats himself and
subsidies.
The intimate friend of Mrs. Grover
Cleveland does not seem to have made
her appearance.
And Mr.. Walton has faded from New
Jersey.

ADVERTISING CIRCULARS ABJURED.

As to the circularizing system OF adj
vortiSiug, | am informed in many quar-
tiers that it has been overdone, that it
bores the public and is getting out f
date. All old mercantile houses have
tried it more or less, and many of them
have reformed" as one veteran in the
dry goods trade remarked to me recent
ly, because we became convinced that
there is better, neater, more convent
ent and more profitable way of keeping
ourselves before the publicity adver.
Using in the newspapers. 1t took us sew
eral years to find it out, but | tell you
now we are thoroughly converted to the
belief that the newspapers are the great
est possible mediums for u.s." Such is
the opinion of nearly every prominent
merchant and business man in New ork
as we'll as elsewhere. People will not
take time to read circulars. The latter
are quite generally regarded as imposi.
tions and nuisances. There is an Ordi-
nance in nearly all well regulated cities
against scattering circulars or anything
OF that nature in the streets or on the
pavements, and any person having the
temerity to attempt it in New York city
will be promptly arrested. The circular
for advertising purposes is doomed and
has been for years, except perhaps for
political uses, sOcialishc and religious
prOpasandism aud the like.-NGSc s

In many kinds of business a want of
attention to the details will result in
loss where a profit could have been
easily made if the minor parts of it had
been closely watched. Many little

II sec, said prominent doctor yester-
day, that lovers of soda water and iced
drinks have at last found a way to partially
overcome the deleterious effects of such
things being suddenly taken into the
stomach on warm day. They are using
straws to drink soda water, and 1t is Il good
thing. An overheated person rushing w
to a soda water fountain and gulping down
the frigid concoctions that they serve there
cannot imagine the harm he is doing TO his
system. The straw method is a mucl
slower one and the liquid gets heated VI
to nearer the temperature of the stomach
before it gets there and so does less harm.
