Your Best Young Man,

"You can't always just tell what your
best young man is going to develop in
to-" said the girl in the blue jacket.
Nov, l know young man. and when
first met him l said to myself: AT
lastl Here he is! A real live man
without fad. And was happy in
the thought that he wouldn't talk foot
ball or theosophy to me. But it didn't
take me- long to find out my mistake.
Of all the fads l ever heard of that
mans fad is the very worst.
He does tricks with cards and can
juggle things" continued the girl in
the blue jacket, as her eyes grew bright
and her cheeks pinkish. AT luncheons
he fishes his handkerchief out of my
muft and finds his gloves in my jacket
pocket. If you hand him glass Of water,
he'll turn 1t upside down and ask you
blandly why the water doesn't run out.
AT home he makes life miserable for me.
and when he goes away | call In the
girl and have her sweep Up the rem
nants of the teacups that he breaks.
He balances parasols, guitars, vases
in fact, everything that he can fnd-on
the end of his nose. l cant do any
thing with him. l am trying very hard
TO make him angry so he'll quit call
hg, but he is so absurdly good natured
that fear l shall never succeed. st.

The discovery of the principle of ole
manufacture of satin was a pure accident.
The word "satin, " which originally WINS
applied to all silk stuffs, has since the last
century been used to designate simply
those TISSUES which only present lustrous
surface. The discovery was made by a
silk weaver named Octavio Mai. During
IA dull period of business one day he was
pacing before his loom, not knowing how
to give a new impulse to his trade
As he passed the machine each time he
pulled short threads from the warp, and
following an old habit put them into his
mouth and rolled them about, soon after
splitting them upon the floor. Later he
discovered little ball of silk upon the
floor of his shop and was astonisbed al
the brilliancy of the threads. lie repeated
the experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in giving satin to the world
