A Delicate Compliment.

To be able to compliment without
seeming to fatter is q rare gift, and
probably no race of men are endowed
with that gift more extensively than the
French.
An example Of the Frenchman's rare
tact in matters Of this sort is shown In
that sweet little story of man who had
ventured to compliment a white haired
old lady upon her beauty.
"Ah," said she, II fear you fatter me.
You call me pretty? Why, I am an old
woman, my hair is white, and see. here
is q wrinkle"

dame; that is not wrinkle. It is,but 8

Are You Left Eyed or Right Eyedq

There are but few ambidexters, either
In the matter Of hands, feet or eyes. II
may sound rather queer but it is fact
nevertheless. that 90 out Of every 100
human beings are right handed, left
legged and left eyed.
Felix Hement, who knows more about
eyes in minute than half Of the opti-
clans and oculists of the country have
been able TO learn in a lifetime, re-
marked that it is an established fact that
we all use one eye more than we do the
other which establishes as clear a case
of left and right eyedness' as though
the same terms were used 10 denote u
preference in the use of hands and feet
II you want to decide as to whether
your friends or relatives are right or left

that her niece Mary. who was attending

she told her husband the next morning
that he must go Immediately to Wau-

she would go if he did not, he got into

what Nature Doc Dor uer HOO.

The wild forest trees bear a great
abundance Of foliage. and this shows
that nature provides for her own in a
most bountiful manner, The inferiority
of the foliage Of the mountain trees and
those growing near lakes and rivers is
due to the rich substances contained in
decayed leaves and water forming a
chemical action with the solar rays.
Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbonic
acid and the gaseous substances in ma
ture are sufficient to complete the annual
growth of forest trees of all classes.
Along the broad reaches of the north
ern and southern rivers this fact is clear
ly seen and well defined. The rich nav
igable lowland rivers, such as the Thames
in England and the Loire in France, dis
play the richest and most luxuriant
trees. Boston Transcript

Howard, the superintendent of st. An

play with and fondle them.
Il remember one instance" continued
Mr.. Howard, with a faint smile, "when
Dr. Brooks disarranged our plans COM
pletely, and this disarrangement almost
resulted in small riot. He always at
tended our Christmas festivals and was
always eager to take an active part IN
the distribution Of the gifts and in tho
festivities in general. This occasion in
particular was the year before he was
consecrated, and the exercises were go
ing along swiInmingly. We had regu-
larly arranged programme, which pro
vided for the giving out of the bags OF
candy at the very last.
"Well, Dr. Brooks was surrounded by
a crowd of the smaller children, the
babies Of the mission, and about tho
time that the exercises were about half
over these little ones began to clamor for
candy, and the doctor couldn't stand
their pleadings He simply got mp and
commenced to unload the tree of its
sweets, tossing the bags Of candy TO tho
little ones. No sooner had he begun TO
do this than the older children, perhaps
a grade higher, raised a great rumpus,
and there was nothing for us TO do but
to shut DR.. Brooks off, call a halt and

Lowing Spirit In a Canary BIRD.

A Philadelphia gentleman hasa canary
that he calls Noah. He allows Noah an
occasional free fight in the garden. One
day when time was up the bird declined
to come into the house or be taken, but
when approached flew off space. He
would then fly back, still declining to be
taken in. At last his performance in
duced his owner to go out and follow.
AT once he burst into a joyful song and

A cood .fudee Of Human nature.


A noted Methodist minister Of Ohio
tells of an incident that occurred on
train on which he was travelling east
ward TO attend a conference When the
train had left the second station beyond
D., the conductor, who CHANGED to be
a parishioner Of the doctor, came up to
him and said: Brother c., there's a
woman in the next car who says she had
her pocket picked since getting on the
train at D. and says she has no mon
ey to pay her fare. Now, as you are q
good Judge of human nature, would
like to have you talk to her and see if
she is a worthy object for a free ride"
The Rev. Mr. c. promptly acceded
to the request and went into the next
car, where the conductor pointed out
the woman in question. Mr.. c.
walked leisurely up the aisle, and stop
ping at the seat occupied by the woman
said: $50, my good woman, you have
met with a misfortune in having your
purse stolen. Would you mind telling
me Just how il occurredg'
just then the woman raised her eyes
and shrieked: "Oh, Mr.. c., please
don't have me arrested. Please don't.
III never steal again. Mr.. c., who
was completely dumfounded finally rec
ognized the woman as a former servant
of his household who had decamped un-
tremendously the previous week with a
valuable portion of his wifes wardrobe.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
conductor kindly waited until he reached
the next station before putting her off.
Much to his disgust it proved to be her
destination. Chicago Herald.
