An Oddly.

Joubert. the French moralist whose
Thoughts" had great success, was SO
odd and original that witty woman
declared he gave her the idea of soul
which had met by chance with body
that it had to put up with and do with
as we'll as it could.
His friend and editor, Chateaubriand,
described him as an egotist who was
always thinking of others. His ambi-
tion was to be perfectly calm. yet no
one betrayed SO much agitation as he.
In eating and in taking exercise he
was as inconstant as coquette. For sew.
eral days he would live on milk; then
for week he would eat nothing but
hash. On one day he would be jolted in
a carriage full trot over the toughest
roads; OH the next he would be drawn
slowly through the smoothest alleys.
He had library Of mutilated books,
for when he read he used to tear out of
book the pages that displeased him. =

When the bridal pair entered and the

There are many BARRIERS who will not,
own q white handled razor because OF
an old superstition that bad luck goes
with it. A razor is to the barber what a
locomotive is to the engineer. and there
are more things to learn about it than
one would suppose. For instance. there
are razors that will ont pertain qualities
Of hair better at certain seasons than M
others. Climate and weather have
great deal to do with razors. Some will
cut better in cold weather aud some In

that affect razors, and they and many
more all tend to make. the barber who

only snatched the pistol from the Har-

By the time she and Harry were seat

short time-peace was restored and the
improbable prodigal sent off to a pri-
vate apartment in charge Of his mis-
guided brother, but Mrs. Peytee's agi-
tation on this occasion, like Charley's
own, was Of an uncommonly enduring
nature. She had too much astuteness to
make nuisance of herself, and as ev-

to pass over the late unpleasantness as
the most natural thing in the world,
preparatory to getting away as soon rs

colonel with an air Of dependence upon
his protection and subtly conveyed
sense of safety in his shadow which he
found very touching. She showed dis
eliminating Judgment, too, as to where
to turn, that pleased him and raised his
idea of her Intelligence. Evidently she
did not make the mistake of consider

notion that it would be a pleasant thing
to. do the driving himself on the way
home and to have Mrs. Peytee on the
seat beside him. The reprehensible fact
was that the bit Of a tussle had stirred
