Studying to Please.

He had been particularly fortunate in his business and felt in the mood for tip ping the walters at his hotel rather liber- ally. As result, every time he entered the dining room half dozen willing wait CTS rushed for him like football players in a big match. This came to be annoying after awhile, so he called the head waiter to him and said:
 ''Now, sce here, don't want all the walters in the place bothcring mo every time getsomething to cat. Settle on one man and let him attend to my wants.'
 Then his eye roamed around at tho as- semblcd attendants, and without any par ticular reason he said:
 ''Thore, lot that fellow with wart on his nose look out for me.
 So 1t was settled, and for somo time tho designated waiter was on hand. One day, however, tho man with money found an other attendant at his table. He motioned to the head waiter.
 Didn't I tell you to let mo have the waiter with a wart on his nose?'' he de- manded.
 ''Yes, sah, but this one will be better, sah. He has two warts on his nose '- Philadelphia Press.

The Glove as a Preventive of Nausea.

The funny men in tho alleged funny pa- pers, says Dr. E. B. Sangree in the Phila- dolphin Times and Register have so long made merry over tho man with the eleven breath that am rather timid about advo- eating this odoriferous spice. Yet my expe- rience has been that tho clove Is a good shntinauseant Persons who get ''qualms' when riding in the cars or on boats can al most certainly quiet them by slowly chew ing a clove or two. Indigestion, accom- panied by formation of gas, nausea and dizziness, will often yield to the same sim pie measure. There are other and better means of accomplishing these results, but tho value of the clovo Is that 1t occupies so little room, is so easily carried about and can be so readily got when wanted.

I9ll Second Avenue.

Butwc hold that by breathing tho impure air of badly ventilated rooms chill may be very easily contracted that will end in ''cold."
 In cold weather we distinctly recon mend tho ordinarily healthy man or wom- an to try tho effect of outdoor exercise, es- pccially when tho feeling is strong that it is too cold to go out of doors. Exercise under such circumstances will usually act as tonic to the whole franc and brace up tho nervous system, the special function of which is to regulate the heat of the body. The skin should be freely exposed to the air before dressing in the morning, and after tho morning washing or cold tepid bath rub tho body into glow with Q coarse towel and you will be very near ly cold and waterproof. = Philadelphia Times

MY CASTLE IN THE AIR.

 If 1 could go ballooning
 And had tho time to spare, I'd journey to discover
 My castle in the air. It stands, that stately building, Beyond the yellow moon, Where tradesmen's bills can never come Not even by balloon. The water rate collector
 He eyes its door in vain, Because it's cistern runs with
 No water, but champagne. It's roof has been constructed
 So very high and steep No lovelorn cats can chamber there To frighten gentle sleep My neighbours hens can never
 Defy the garden wall Because there are no neighbors
 Or hencoops near at all. So. in the garden holding
 In rich profusion grow Tobacco trees and caulif1owers
 And roses all arrow. Ohl could reach my castle.
 I'd never need to think. I'd never need to scribble
 And clothe my dreams in ink. So when Pm rot so busy
 I'll hire big balloon And sail away with-l know whom Beyond the yellow moon. David Ia Costa in Home and Country.

On the after noon about which we nre speaking I re- member setting forth on my walk in the still glow of tho tropical calm and won- dering rather at tho intense stiffness of the surrounding forest. Then the air grew cooler, and tho green of the foliage in front seemed to deepen, and presently there was Q sound as of a giant waterfall in the distance. Waterfalls do not, how ever, grow louder every second, whereas tho noise in front did so. Then there was a loud, angry growl, as of dozen lions. A minute more, and tho whole jungle be- gan to roar as if 30 squadrons of heavy cavalry wero coming up at gallop. Thon came drop of rain and peal of thunder which seemed to make tho world stop.
 Then the storm began. The sky above darkencd; the trees clattered; tho brush wood beneath hissed and bowed itself deluge of raindrops plotted out the narrow view. Down it came, soaking through the densest leaves under which one fled for refuge, striking the grass and sand with millions of dull thuds, dashing furi- ously against the leaves as if they wero so many hostile shields, streaking the air with innumerablo perpendicular lines and hurling itself down with the force of bull lets.
 In such downpour ono may as we'll walk and get wet as stand still and get wet. Unfortunately one did not know where to walk to.
