The Most pesp1caple Man.

The man whom thoroughly and pos
itively hate, and against whom as a type
| would warn young women, as the
board of health officers warn the public
against infection with scarlet fever
card. is the domestic tyrant, the man
who is Il bully in his own family, the
man who is a hero at home and a coward
among bigger men than he. When he
was boy, he loved TO torture kittens,
trap rabbits and tease birds by breaking
up their nests and cracking their eggs.
But ayearling calf or sitting hen would
always make him run. Now he is a man,
he swears at his wife and nags her life
away. He sends the cold chills down
the children's spines whenever his steps
draw nigh and is as pompous and big
feeling among the women folks and the
helpless boys and girls as a fussy old
turkey gobbler with his hens.
Fun can no more thrive where he is
than pansies can live in coal gas. He is
civil to the black man who gives him his
dinner, to the boy-provided he is full
sized-who blacks his boots and to who
ever is richer and stronger than he, but
poiteness for his wife was laid away
with his wedding garments, and he curses
his daughters and his sons for every
trifiing misdemeanor in way that would
rouse a uewsboy to thrash him if he
spoke to the lad with equal insolence.-

The Word "I3uxom."

When we now speak of a buxom per-
son, we think of such a one as Mrs. Luz
pin in Martin Chuzzlewit." plump,
middle aged, good looEing, good ma
tured, kind. agreeable woman. We do
not usually apply the term to thin
woman, or to o young girl, or to an old
woman. Assuredly we should never
think of calling a man or boy buxom.
The word, however, once really meant
pliable or flexible, and afterward obedi-
ent. 1t Is the same as the Anglo-Saxon

In the Salisbury Manual the woman
at the marriage service promised to be
"bonair" and "buxom," which is ex-
planned in the margin to mean meek and

The Puzzle of Society"

Talk about your puZzles-Chinese or
any other kind-the greatest, the most
complex, the most inexplicable puzzle is
'society"-the society that you contin-
ually hear about, that bubbles up, that
effervesces, that widens out its own lit
tie ripples every now and then into one
gigantic wave that washes up from the
depths sediment that dims the luster
and sparkle and makes one wonder
where on earth real society is anyway.
Now, here is a young man who came to
US with carefully prepared letters Of in
PRODUCTION socially He did not consider
it necessary to push himself. He was let
beautifully alone until accident proved
him a desirable man to know.
Another man came here recently with
no letters-crtdit or social. He picked
up an acquaintance ut IL popular hotel.
He let drop casually that he was from
England and was looking up real estate
here in America. This acquaintance,
who had the entree to society, intro
duccd him to his friends. They invited
him ont. Others invited him in turn,
and he WAS drawn into socicty's vortex.

Drying Brewers Grains.

A special machine has been devised for
effecting the drying Of brewers grains in
vacuum at low temperature. Brew
ers' grains" are now largely employed
for feeding COWS and horses, but the high
nutritive value Of the spent grains known
by that name is not generally known,
The dessicated product Of the new proc
css has proved to be of a highly salts
factory character being free from the
peculiar bitter taste so often possessed
by brewers grains and showing on anal
ysis very high percentage Of proteids
and fat producing material.
The advantages claimed for the vac
uum drying process are: The lowest
working expenses with greatest capac-
ity, rapid drying at lowest tempera-
ture and consequent excellent quality
of the dried grains; no loss of material
or nutritive properties, as the grains are
not pressed before drying; a clean and
simple process, and the avoidance Of
vapor in the drying rooms OF vicinity

The advice is given by well known
society woman who travels a great deal
to wear ones best underclothing while
on the cars. Never mind if it does get
soiled," she says. II have known of the
most fragrant cases of neglect during
railroad accidents Of people whose I'M
derwear looked as though they might be
poor. This is shameful fact, but the
people who pick up the wounded after a
wreck are intensely human. Many of
them do not propose to open their homes
to sufferers unless they are to be paid
for it. They judge of the ability of peo-
pie to pay largely by their underwear,
as the outside garb Of most well to do
people is more or less the same in these
days"
The idea of arraying ones self with a
view to accidents when starting out on
a journey is perhaps likely to suggest
useless forebodings, and this advice is
likely to cngender pessimism regarding
the character Of ones fellow men, but it
may be worth needing. Her Point of

Methods For Secret Correspondence.

At trial in France it was shown that
the chemist Turpin, who is undergoing
five years imprisonment for treason,
made arrangements with friend to carry
on secret correspondence. A letter from
the prisoner, giving the necessary direc-
tons to his friend, was read in court. An
official inquiry was made and some in
teresting information supplied by the
convicts, from which it was shown that
when private news is to be supplied to a
prisoner formal letter, apparently con-
tanning nothing of Importance. is sent.
This, being read by the governor, would
be passed on to the prisoner, who, under
standing the missive, and that it was
only necessary to read between the lires
written in milk, he could make this per-
fectly decipherable by rubbing it over
with a dirty finger or an old slipper. An
other ingenious form of secret correspond
ence consisted in leaving letters out of
words, as if the writer were illiterate.
The omitted letters put together formed
the requisite words and sentences.-Lon-
don Public Opinion:
