A Man Under Thirty-ave.

Miss Lillian Bell, the clever Chicago
authoress, prints rather q caustic view Of
1.-THE Man Under Thirty-fve"f II The La
dies Home journal. She asserts that con.
versation with a man under IS is impossi.
BILE, because the man under 35 never con.
verses. He only talks. And your chief
accomplishment of being a good listener
is entirely thrown away on him because
he does not in the least care whether you
listen or not. Neither is it of angus for
you to show that he has surprised or shock
ed.you. He cares not for your approval or
d~isapproval. He is utterly Indifferent to
you, not because you do not please him,
but because he has not seen you at all. lie
knows you arc there in that chair. He
bows to you in the street. Oh, yes! He
knows your name and where you live. But
you are only an entity to him, not an in
dividual. He cares not for your likes and
dislikes, your cares, or hopes, or fears. He
only wants you to be pretty and we'll dress
ed. Have a mind if you will. He will not
know it. Have a heart and a soul. They
do not concern him. He wants you to be
tailor made. You are a girl to him. That's
all.

Slightly Misunderstood.

We were talking of wrecks at sea. 1
have been In several and am still alive to
tell tho tale. The most remarkable Of all
was the loss Of the Oregon. Mystery still
hangs around it. It's sinking was like the
sinking of an island city off the coast of
Spain. There was one incident connected
with the going down of this magnificent
steamship that Invariably causes me to
laugh when I think of it. Mr.. and Mrs.
Coils p. Huntington were among the pas
sengers, returning from a tour Of Europe.
In the excitement of getting off in the
boats they were separated, Mrs. Hunting
ton, with other ladies, being hurried away
in n of the large boats forward Of the
second cabin. The sea was almost calm,
but the boat was so heavily loaded that
the gunwales were within an inch or two
of the water, and q slight movement
caused it to dip. Suddenly Mrs. Hunting
ton, who had kept up her courage well,
sprang up and shouted in a fearful voice:
(" My Coils! Oh, where is my Collis?'
She clasped her hands and looked anx-
iously toward the fast sinking ship.
"Sit down!'' roared one Of the sailors
as the water ran over the side.
"But my Coils! Oh, where is my Col
lisp
"Sit down, I say! DIN your collars!
Q drought to be glad you saved yourself!''

The keyboard is manipulated precisely

ToBAcco INSOMNIA.
5t Can Be Cured Simply by Abstentior
From the Use of the Weed,

Many brain workers suffer from ina5..!-
ity to sleep. This is frequently mot with
among those who work late ut night. Tho
sufferers complain that they feel most
lively just when the time for retiring has
come and that q long period Of restless
ness precedes a troubled slumbcr, from
which the slightest noise awakens them.
This is very often caused almost entirely
by overindulgence in tobacco. They smoke
just before going to bed, ignorant Of tho
fact that not only may tobacco prevent
sleep temporarily, but that it may render
1t less deep and consequently less refresh
ing. y
a grave responsibility attaches to those
who lightly seek to relieve a symptom
which is really a warning by a recourse to
a dangerous palliative. The inability to
sleep is often merely. the outcome of an
unnatural mode of life, and If this be cor
rooted the disability disappears Of itself.
Men who work late are commonly addicted
to the tobacco habit. To them tobacco is
not q relaxation after a days work, but a
nerve stilmulant which enables them to
accomplish tasks which would otherwise
be difficult Of accomplishment. When the
mouth becomes dry, alcohol in some form
OF other is resorted to as n flip to enable
the smoker to tolerate still another cigar
or two. Under these circumstances tobacco
acts as o cerebral irritant and interferes
with the vasomotor centers of the brain to
such an extent that tho vessels are unable
to adjust themselves forthwith to the CON
dition required for healthy and u%ntroubled
sleep.
Discretion in tobacco use would save
many from this distressing condition of
chronic insomnia. Smoking early in the
day should be discountenanoed, and it is
equally undesirable within an hour or so
of retiring to rest. The best remedy for
the tobacco habit, short of total %abstontion,
is to take a short walk in the open air aft
er the last pipe. Under no circumstances
should drugs be used for this form Of noe
turnal restlessness.-San Francisco Bull

There is a little house in Holland, at
T~eteringham, near Breda, with a brass
plate Oh the door, bearing the name, 81.
G.. dc Bourbon" The owner of the name
claims to be heir to the throne of France,
as tho son of the dauphin, who was lac
cording to this absurd legend) not muir
dered by i'll usage in the temple, but es-
capped and afterward passed under tho
name of Naundorff, working as a watch
maker. He lived till 1S45 and is buried
in the cemetery at Delft. The inscription
On his tomb describes him as Louis XVII,
King of France and Navarro, born at Vcr-
sailles on March 81, 1855, died at Delft on
Aug. 10, 1876.
His son lives in a very modest fashion
and passes much of his time in wood cary
ing, whereat he is OH expert. He has in
his possession some relics of the Bourbons,
an order Of tho Saint Esprit, a cross in
sapphires and brilliants that belonged to
Louis XVI and Il musical box of Mario
Antoinette. He declares himself TIC be
neither a conspirator nor q pretenler;
neither does he wish to change tho form
of government which France has chosen
for herself. He asks only one thing-that
the nance of his father should be respected.
But none the less the Naundorff legend is
brought to light once and again, just as
when 'Louis Charles, due de Normandie, =
issued o manifesto protesting against the
visit of the French ships to Kiel.
There is little chance of any heed being
paid to his assertions, unless some indis-
putable documentary evidence is forth
coming to support them, and which the
son of tho famous pretender, Naundorff,
In whom many persons believed some 60
years ago, notably in this country, does
