What Every Man Should Know.

No part Of the toilet should ever be
performed in public. All such opera
tions as cleaning or cutting the Lails
picking the teeth, removing shreds
Of dried skin from the face or hands.
pulling out stray hairs from the beard
or scalp, should be performed in the
privacy OF ones own apartment, not
on the street, in the car or boat, or In
the drawing room. Some men con
slider they are quite justified In scrap
ing and pairing their nails in the pres
ence Of their families assembled AT
the breakfast table II they preface
the action with a perfunctory "EI-
cuse me. " or by your leave" Others
do not take the trouble to apologize
even thus slightly.
And without passimism It may b.
alIimed that only exceptionally does
one find man who will not pick his
teeth after meal, IL not before
guests or in a public restaurant.

There are still households in which

Abstinence from the above men

the first step in good breeding. Such
avoidance is among the things a man
ought TO know and to practice.

The Shah OF Persia.

The smallest detail Is submitted TO
him, and is not decided except upon
his authority. His ministers disavow
all initiative and tremble at any et.
ecutive responsibility. Imperious,
dlligent and fairly just. the Shah is In
his own person the sole arbiter OF
Persia's fortunes. All policy sma-
tsates from him. He supervises every
department with curiosity that re.
qulres to be constantly sppeassd, and
his attention, both to foreign and do
mestic politics, Is constant and un-
remitting.
There Is a consensus OF opinion that
he is the most competent man Ia the
country. and the best ruler that IL
can produce. Nor will any one deny
him the possession Of patriotism and
Of genuine interests In the welfare OF
the nation. IL Is no mean criterion
Of the strength and also of the general
popularity Of the Shah that he 10 the
tirst Persian monarch who has ven
tured TO leave his dominions and
journey 10 foreign and ipfidel lands,
not as conqneror at the head OF an
army. but as friesdly visitor, II not
as volunteer tourist.
The immense amount Of money
spent by the Shah Ia the purchase Of
furniture and cariositIes in Europe
also excited a feeling OF discomfort.
and bis second tour was uDqusstien-
ably unpopular among bis subjects.
That he was able TO venture upon a
third is a proof Of the absolute se-
curity OF his position, bat II Is also
due 10 the sentiment which he has
taken care to dIffuse among bis sub
jects that the princes OF christsndom

The Girls Who Waits.

When most pretty girls reach nine
teen they become engaged to some
poor young man, and as he hasn't
the money to marry on, they wait un-
til he has saved il. The waiting pro-
cess is long snd tiresome one. While
the young man is having a good time,
spending 90 cents and saving 10 cents
for his marriage, the girl is growing
older. a little more careworn, and
wasting her youth in waiting for a
man who in most cases finds some one
more attractive and breaks the en-
gagement.
II girls will look around at the great
number OF girls who have waited
for some poor man TO their sorrow,
they will probably hesitate before en-
tering upon an engagement that
promises to be long and fruitless, and
that leaves them worn out, and with
no feith in human nature at the end
Very often girl who is waiting for
a young man to get rich throws away
the real opportunity of her life; very
often she is the slave to the caprice OF
man who finally deserts her. Very
often, under such circumstances, a
woman gets the wrong idea Of life,
and accuses the world OF faults IL IL
not guilty OF. In a way, men take
very good care OF themselves, for the
reason that they accept the lessons
OF. life hard though theysometimes are
but women make the mistake OF
trusting too much and suffering need
lessly for it.

Flv far and wide, a flrery shower;
Virtue and truth must still be marks,
Where malice proves It's want OF power.

Lies red and glowing on its breast;
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its rest.
''Stsnd like an anvil'' when the sound
Ofpondrous hammers pains the ear;
Thine but the still and stern rebound
Ofthe great heart that cannot fear.

Pension Debate,

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE re-
publiCans this afternoon filibustered
against any limitation Of general debate
on the pension appropriation bill. The
democrats were compelled to yield and
the house has resumed the consideration
OF the pension appropriation bill, with
no limitation as to general debate. Mr..
Tarsney's speech on the pension ques-
ton was the feature Of yesterdays de-
bate on the pension appropriation bill
1t was listened to closely throughout
and he was often spplauded. Democrats
and republicans alike accepted it as the
exposition Of the democratic doctrine on
the subject. Mr.. Crisp warmly con-
graduated the Kansas City member, as
did also several republicans. He scored
bounty jumpers and the like in hot terms
and declared that there should be vigor-
ous reform.
Mr.. TarSneY devoted especial attention
to the law Of 1880, which he declared un-
necessary and law which opened the
way to gross frauds.

National Quarantine.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE ma
tional quarantine bill agreed upon by
both houses Of congress Wednesday is
generally regarded as much better than
could have been expected when Tam
many made its fight for Dr.. Jenkins and
states rights men aided it. This was
due entirely to the action Of the senate
in amending the Tammany doctored bill
in striking out the enRcting clause and
substituting the best part Of the senate
measure. When the substitute went
back to the house, Mr.. Kilgore feebly
6libustered, but for once might was with
right and right won, and the bill was
passed and will become a law.
The bill makes it lawful for any vessel
from any foreign port to enter at any
port Of the United States, except as pre-
scribed by the act. The vessel must
bring with il q bill Of health from the
United States representative at tho port

Alliance Of Nations,

AAl1dHOo VI 4ablOuSp
WARRINGTON, February IA triple
alliance between the United States,
Russia and France, such is the interna-
tional combination of forces for mutual
benefit and defense which has been
secretly pending for six years, and
which, unknown to the diplomatic world
at large, eliminated in an extensive ses-
sion of the United States senate two
days ago.
This is the first public announcement
OF the weighty meaning which lay be-
hind the seemingly unimportant and
formal announcement that "the extradi-
tion treaty with Russia has been rat
fled"
That was the sum total of the an
nouncement which was given to the
public. But the ratification of this treaty
meant an epoch in the history,of this
country. It meant that the century will
close with what Prince Gortschakoff, the
great Russian chancellor, once described
as necessary for the universal equilib-
rum Of nations-nsmely, an alliance be-
tween the United States, Russia and
France"
In ratifying these treaties, the United
States government has received distinct
pledges, both orally, through the Russian
and French legations in Washington,
and by correspondence through the de-
psrtment Of state with the foreign
officers Of those governments, OF their
support, by force If necessary, against
any interference by Germany, Great
Britain or any other European power
with the maintenance by the United
States Of what is commonly termed "the
Monroe doctrine"
In other words, the control Of the
Hawaiian islands, the annexation Of
British America, the acquisition Of
Cuba, Of Hsyti and San Domingo and
the ultimate expulsion of Great Britain
from Bermuda are all possibilities in
fulfilling which the United States would
be upheld by the two powers which in
European politics are most distinctly
opposed to the Driebund, the alliance
between Germany, Austria and Italy.
It is stated tonight that the Hawaiian
commissioners and Mr.. Foster have
made substantial progress towards an
agreement on a bassis for bringing the
islands within the territory of the United
States.
It is believed that at the conference
yesterday most Of, if not all, the points |
under discussion were incorporated in
the text Of the protocols. These points |
are more numerous and perplexing than |
might be imagined at first, and they pre-
sent several questions which have never
before been considered in the history Of |
this country.
