Mr.. Simon Bedford, recently retired, lived
within hearing distance of two blacksmith
shops for 81 years, yet so long as he was 10
active business he never knew that he had
nerves, nor was he ever disturbed in the
slightest by the Gathering on the anvils, if
indeed he ever heard them. But he has
time to think OF and to be disturbed by
such things now.
Just when he wants to take that second
sleep in the early morning the sons of Vul-
can begin their pounding, and the poor
man has to get up. He stuffed cotton into
his ears, but without effect, and so he has
come to have positive envy of men who
are born deaf.
Driven to desperation, Mr.. Bedford one
day sent for the two rival blacksmiths, and
on their appearing in his library lie said
My friends, | am getting to be an old
man, l fear. Now, You two have been neigh
bors of mine for a hong time, and | have
given each of you some work. Not caring
to tell them his real purpose, he went on:
Il am anxious to be of service TO you both.
| IfXou two agree to set up In another shop
| some distance from where each of you is
now working, | will give you $500 apiece.

Much angered, Mr.. Bedford sent for the
men and said, Did not give you money

is especially the district of the bull Here,
at the age Of one year, the young bulls are
separated from the heifers, branded with
the owners mark and turned out loose on

When year older the young bulls are
gathered together in order that their met
tie and fighting qualities may be tested.
One of them is separated from the herd and
chased by man on horseback, who by the
skillful use of blunted lance overthrows
the escaping bull, whereupon another rider

Only those who have examined the mat
ter carefully have any idea of the many
figures of speech in use in our ordinary ev-
eryday language. Indeed these figures are
as intimately woven into the web and wool
of our language as the figures in Persian
rug Even the most rigid science has to
depend on figures of speech to make itself
understood.
But as some people use more personal
ornaments than others, so some indulge
in more figures Of speech, and Mr.. Robb of
Williamsburg, y. Y, is one of these.
Recently, when thinking of changing his
dwelling. lie called ON German landlord
who had number Of houses 10 let.
Mr. Robb was shown the most desirable
of these 1t was "a very nice residence, but
it struck the prospective tenant that the
rooms were rather small, and he expressed
his opinion i'm this way:
"It's a nice house, Mr.. Goldberg, but the
rooms are too small. Why, in most of
them there isn't room to swing cat"
"Not's dot You say" asked the landlord
II say | couldn't swing a cat in most of
these rooms"
"Gott i'm himmel! Vot for you want to
swing der gat in dem rooms, ehY"
well" laughed Robb, II might want
to, you know, and if | should there isn't
room"
81 don'd like dings like dot" muttered
Goldberg. II own dem houses den year
unit hat goot denants, bud none oof dem
vos in dot swingin gat piziness"
Promising to see Goldberg again, Mr.
Bobb left, but he did not return, for that
evening Mr.. Goldberg's son called on hin
and said:
"Nlein fador, Muster Goldberg, he sent
me rount to say he is goin to rent dot hous

Once at an official dinner Catherine II of
Russia had an animated discussion with a
foreign ambassador who had displeased
her. She spoke with more anger than dig
nifty. In the midst of her TRADE she over
heard her secretary, Chrapowicki. say in an
undertone:
at is pity for the little mother to lose
her temper this way"
She stopped abruptly, and during the re.
mainder of the dinner was gracious and
merry.
As she left the table, however, she went
straight to the impertinent interrupter and
said, How dare you criticise my words in
public'"
Her voice trembed with anger, and her
hand shook so that she nearly dropped a
cup of coffee which she was holding She
set down the coffee untasted and told the
unfortunate secretary to 20.
The man believed himself ruined and eX
pected TO be sent to Siberia next day. He
had no sooner reached his home, however
than messenger came to summon him tC
the empress
He found the empress still angry and ex
cited. She reproached him bitterly for re
turning impertinence for the kindness she
had shown him. He threw himself ON his
knees before her

There are men-and women, too--whosc

Others much better than themselves fail.
Dick Eolingsby was man Of this kind.
Dick and were distant cousins aud play

recall as distinctly as if it were yesterday
that Dick had a great habit of breaking
tops, letting kites get loose, losing books
and bursting the barrels Of shotguns, lint
the things lost or injured were never his
own-they always belonged 10 myself or to
some other boy.
Whenever it came down TO the division
Of an apple, an orange or a piece Of cake
always the property Of some other boy, for
Dick never divided his thiugs--he invari-

He grew up to be fine looking fellow,
though with rather a cynical expression.
remember my father, with the privilege
of kinsman, pointed out to Dicks parents
on one occasion what he thought were The
defects in the boys character, but they
thought his peculiaritics would the better
qualify him for the calling Of u merchant,
which it was decided he should be.
Soon after Dick Folingsby came Of age,
his father and mother died, leaving him an
estate that brought in about $1,000 year.
If Dick had been left poor, am quite sure
that he would have won his way, like many
men of the same disposition and achieved
fortune, but competency was a death
blow to his ambition. 1t seemed to enCr-
vate all his nobler impulses, while it in.
tensifed his selfshncss.
From first to last do not recall having
heard Of Dicks giving away one cent il
charity or helping "a man who was down
from that impulse Of sympathy which We
often find associated with natures that arr
far from noble.
And yet rs look back upon his career

1t is through Irritation, which has ad-

many manageable young folks lose their
chance in life. Filtration destroys conf
dence between the persons who indulge in
it; IL prevents the natural growth of mutual
esteem; it is not thing Of good faith 1t
is an error to suppose that lovemaking
and Irritation are identical; they are, in
truth, antithetical. LOvemaking is ten
der and ennObling, while Irritation is cruel,
foolish and demeaning. The one is the
prelude to welded happiness the other is
inimical to IT, Young men aud women
