You can stop it if you really admire and

Dinner with Mr.. Gladstone is the stately
ceremonial meal which it has become 10
the upper and upper midd e-class English
man. Mr.. Gladstone invariably dresses
for it, wearing the high crest collar which
Harry Furniss has immortalized, and q
cutaway coat which strikes one as of a
slightly old-fashiohcd pattern. His di-
gestion never fails him, and he eats and
drinks with the healthy appetite of a man
Of 30. A glass of champagne 10 agreeable
to him, and If he does not take his glass or
two of port at dinner, he makes it up by
two or three glasses Of claret, which he
considers an equivalent. Oysters he never
could endure, but like Schopenhayer
and Goethe and many another great
man, he is consistently hearty
and unfastdious eater. He talks
much in an animated monologue.
though the common complaint that he
monopolizes the conversation is not a lust
one. You cannot easily turn Mr.. Glad
stone into train of ideas which does not
interest him. hut he is a courteous and
even eager listener, and if the subject is of
general interes. he does not bear In it any
more than the commanding part which
the rest Of the company invariably allows

Tho Intense Hatred or tho Pimas for the

The memory of the Pima nor do his
traditions run SO far back that mortal

The first thing the Pima child is taught
is to hate the Apache, the vandal of the
great American desert, and he seldom
forgets his teaching. Though it is not
SO bad now that the Apachcs have sur
ecndcred to the United States govern
mcnt, still the hatred exists, and when
the opportunity is presented the Pima
spits at and heaps all kinds of contumc-
~ upon the heads of the Apaches.
AS is known the Pimas seldom leave
their valley homes, and, as the Apachcs
are now ON the reservation under the
surveillance of troops, it is rarely that
they meet, though last winter Il com
pany of the Apache soldiers were
brought through this city under a

The woman wears her betrothal ring

speaking of cold weather, l have
discovered that TIE cold affects men and
women differently" says writer in
the New York Herald. II mean that
despite the fact that both sexes are of
the human kind they have not the
same vulnerable points for Jack Frost
to nip.
'Iou may have noticed as I have
that Il woman when outdoors in a cold
day goes along apparently comfortable
except for her nose. She covers it with
her mittcned or glovcd hand or if she is
very nice she holds her handkerchief up
in front Of it.
ut is the tip of her nose that the cold
takes hold of and won't let go. Her
checks and her chin never seem to suffer.
but her nose always gets red and cold
and frostbitten.
Il believe that physicians say the
vulncrability of the feminine nose is
caused by corscts, or rather by the
lacing which the wearing of corsets i'm
plies. At any rate it forces the blood
to the nose and makes red noses as well
as tender noses.
And the only moral can see in it is
that if the girls would shed their corscts
they might not in course of time be
forced to the undignificd proceeding of
holding on to their noses.
Now, with man it touches him on
the ears. There's where Il man feels the
cold first. It's his ears that tingle when
the mercury slips down toward the zero
notch; it's his ears that freeze when he
stays out in the winter weather long
enough"
