Requisites For Civilized Man.

The primary class in school had the
question: Whatare the three requisites
for civilized man?
Answer Food, clothing and shelter.
The next day there was review.
The teacher put the question. All
could remember food and clothing, but
the third had escaped Decentralization.
The teacher then repeated: when a
man has food and clothing what else
does he need to make him happy?"
One little fellow frantically waved
his hand and stood up.

a Gross Act OF Cruelty.

WHY should we be crue, TO ourselves? 1t is
q piece of senseless inhumanity, for instance,
for any one of US to infiict upon his bowels
and stomach the convusive, g.iping, violent
action OF drastic cathartic. Many people
enamored OF pills, powders and pouons are
continually doing this. They are only keep
ing up the agony" perpetuating the disturb
ance, by this foolish course. Who don't they
take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and get
thoroughly and promptly set right! This
supreme laxative never gripes, never pro
duces violent effects of any sort. Yet 1T IS
very effective and brings about permanent
results. For liver complaint, dyspepsia ner-

ney complaints, 1t is eminently servlceable.

She answered in a voice that cam,

She answered in vo.ce that can't
right from the heart:
"Oh, yes!-very happy. He has al
ways made me very happy. ! have
never had cause to regret anything
Looked at her made sad, surprised,
amazed by the power of love! That
rich girl had followed that man that
peasant. She had become a peasant
herself She had accustomed herself to
his life ~ life without pleasures, with
out luXuries, without retinements of any
kind; she had bowed to all his simple
ways. And she loved him still. She
had become country wife wearing
the coarse bonnet, the canvas apron.
She ate from an earthcn plate upon a
wooden table ate cabbage soup, boiled
with potatoes and lard She slept at
his side upon a bed of straw.
She had never thought of anything
but him! She had never regretted the
dainty dresses or the rich textures. or
the elcgancies, or the softness OF sofas,
or the perfumed warmth of curtained
rooms. or the caress of downy beds into
which delicate bodies plunge for sleep.
She had never wanted anything but him
he was there--she desired nothing
more. She had abandoned life quite
young and society and those who
had reared her tenderly loved her fond
ly. She had come alone with him, to
dwell In that savage ravne. And he
had been everything to her, everything
she could wish, everything she had
dreamed, everything she had waited
for, everything she had hoped for. He
had filled her whole existence with hap
piness, from first to last. She could
not possibly have been more happy.
And all night long, as | listened to
the hoarsc breathing of the old soldier
lying on his pallet beside her who had
followed him from SO far away, kept
thinking of that strange and simple adj
venture, composed of so few incidents.
And | left at sunrise, after shaking
hands with the old married pair.
The narrator paused. A woman
said:
THAT is all very well. But she had
too facile an ideal -wants too primitive
and exigencies too simple. She must
have been silly
Another woman murmered slowly:
''What matter she was happy"
And far away, in the depth of the
horizon, Corsica buried herself in the
night-slowly melted back into the sea
-effaced her vast shadow which she
seemed to have made visible only in
order to tell us the story of those two
humble lovers who found shelter on
her shores.

Women and Wall Street.

There is an erroneous idea that won-
en- who dabble in Wall street are be-
painted, bejeweled and live a life of
sybaritio ease They are popularity sup
posed to roll up and down Wall street
in gorgeous carriages with prancing
horses and q coaohman and footman in
livery. It is believed by many residents
in the United States that some made
their fortunes by the turn of hand in
Wall street, and that the life of the
speculative female is one long sunshiny
day.
If there be any such fortunate wom-
en-, Wall street men know nothing of
them. There are only few brokers'
offices where women are ever seen, and
these women do not bend over the tick
er with feverish excitement and sip
champagne between the rise and fall of
prices on 'ohange. The woman who
ventures into Wall street these days is
very much out Of place. To begin with,
few brokers, or bankers, for that mat
ter, care to have women visit their Of
fees. They attract too much attention.
They have no knowledge of the value
of time, and they monopolize BUSY
mans attention so that business is often
at standstill. Then, as rule, the av-
erage speculative woman is poor loser.
She can understand all about making
money and is brimful of good nature
while the market is going her way, but
when things go against her and her
margin is surely and swiftly being wip-
ed out she is apt to become disagreea-
BILE, if not hysterical, SO that brokers,
as rule, prefer not to deal with wom-
en-. And thus comes to an end one of
the pleasing fictions of Wall street,
