LIFE LINES ON THE FOOT.

BecretS They Reveal to the Student of
 Character.
 There is a man in Philadelphia who claims that it is much easier to read one's character and past and future from the maps on the soles of one's feet than it is from tho palms of the hands. He calls it 'pedalogy."
 The pedalogist, while refusing to tell che names of tho owners of the feet ill most cases, showed a number of dia- grams the other day and explained to a reporter how he read the fortunes of the soles.
 Maxine Elliott, he said, lis pub lic character, and I do not mind men, tioning her name. Here is her story. Look at it. It's worth studying, for she Is not only one of the most beautiful women on the American stage, but it is remarkable in other ways. Her foot is 90 beautifully arched that little of her sole touched the paper when she placed her foot upon it. The intellectual and artistic lines are very clearly defined on her foot, and one need but sec and bear Miss Elliott, speak for 8 few moments to realize that her artistic and mental capabilities are of high order. The lines of intuition and imagination are both remarkably long,. The cross be- tween the line of love and the head line indicates that i'll love affair Miss Eli ott would be governed largely by req son. She has strong affections, accord ing to the long heart line.
 A contrast to Miss Elliott's foot was that of factory girl from Kensington. This was foot common to people of little education There was scarcely any instep to the foot. The lines of imagi- nation, mental capacities and intuition were very short, and the artistic line was entirely lacking. The heart and love lines were we'll defined and long. The lines also indicated frmness and great ambition, with decided fondness for pleasure, so the pedalogist explained.
 Still another foot was that of socie- ty girl Here again was the: high arch. It showed. among other things, that she did not have to stand on her feet. as did the poor factory girl. The lines told of her having less heart and less ambition than the factory girl too. There were selfshness and vanity in the impression. It seemed we'll that silk stockings and dainty shoes usually kept it from the sight of those who would read it's own er's character in the soles of that foot.
 There was the foot of the preacher and the policeman and the lawyer, and each seemed to tell story in keeping with it's owners vocation and habits. Last of all came the print of the man about town. There was no arch there. It had come down fiat footed" It looked as if it was used mostly ill walk ing up and down a fashionable street aud standing about the club. It had good nature and self satisfaction. some generosity and some brains ill it, but little ambition. Philadelphia Press

UNtNDING.

There Ia an end to kisses and to sighs; There is an end to laughter and to tearsS An end to fair things that delight our eyes, An end to pleasant sounds that charm our s ears,
 An end to enmity's foul hbeling And to the gracious praise of tender friend; There is an end to all but one sweet thing To love there Is no end. That warrior carved an empire with his sword. The empire now is but like him-a name. That statesman spoke, and by burning word Kindled nations heart into a fRme Now nRught Is left but ashes, and we bring Our homage to new men; to them we bend. There Is an end to all but one sweet thing To love there Is no end. All beauty fades away, or else, alasI Men eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see. The glorious shows of nature pass and pass Quickly they come; as quickly do they flee, And he who hears the voice of welcoming Hears next the slow, sad farewell of his
 friend.
 There Is an end to all but one sweet thing To love there is no end.

DINNER FOR A PENNY.
Now Fork Man Who Makes a Profit O1
 Very Cheap Victuals,

Now Fork Man Who Makes a Profit on
 Very Cheap Victuals.
 There are diners and diners in this city of contrasts. Some men here find it a difficult thing to get satisfactory din- ner for $26; others get along nicely on @ substantial meal that costs dime or lesa And there Is at least one strange little restaurant here where full repast can be purchased for 1 cent. It Is with out doubt the cheapest eating house in the world. This cheapest dining room of all is huddled down in corner al- most touching the famous Mariners temple of Oliver street, @ block away from Chatham square, where streams of people from all the four corners of town pass and repass. It Is little more than a wooden hut, some IS feet long and per- haps broad, with little addition tack ed on to 1t, which serves as kitchen Small as 1t is, however, 1t feeds an average of 1. .OOO people in day, 90 be- ing able to squeeze in before the counter at one time; on some days as many as 1.4OO have eaten there. Tramps, out casts, vagrants and men who have fallen so low that they will never get up in the world again, come daily, sometimes three times a day, with the last copper they have in their pockets, to drink cof- fee, munch the bread and eat the pea soup that constitute the bill of fare of this most lowly of eating houses. It is a strange congregation truly that one sees within its narrow four walls-a congre- gation of faces stamped with vice and debauchery, of patched and rusty gar ments and unwashed c1tiole. Women occasionally come to this penny dining room, but as the proprietor doesn't care for their custom, they do not annoy him often.
 You ask. What can @ copper buy2 We'll, incredible as 1t may seem in these days of lavish expenditure. three cop pers expended at this tiny restaurant will buy bowl of coffee. bowl of pea soup and four slices of bread A bowl of coffee and slice of bread. the slice cut generously, costs but cent For a cent, too, large bowl of soup is served, with another slice of bread. A cent more will buy two additional pieces of bread The bowl of soup is full quart, the bowl of coffee pint.
 eff a man wants to eat more than this at one time, the little proprietor says, Che must be glutton." At all events, no vagrant should starve with one of these cent dinners snugly slowed away beneath his soiled linen. The pea soup is rich, the coffee is cheap, but as good as one finds in many pre- tentious dining rooms here. and the bread is so palatable that the proprietor eats it himself. This cent eating house has been running for over five years, and during that time has fed hundreds of thousands. Some months the meals served have reached the 80, 900 notch.

Hon. Elijah A. Morse, of Canton, Mass, Member of Congress from Mas achusetts, forwards his endorsement of the remarkable curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, together with a letter from his sister, Mrs. Albert F. Morse, who writes to the people concerning her wonderful cure by this grand restorer of health and strength.
 Congressman Morse is a statesman of power and influence in Congress and his own state holds him in highest honor having elected him Representa- tive in the Legislature, Member of the State Senate, and one of the Governors Council. A business man of high order, he is known throughout the world as the manufacture of the Ris- ing Sun Stove Polish, which is sold in every nation of the earth.
 Congressman Morse says:
 My brothers wife received great benefit from the use of Dr. Greene's $ Nervura. She has been a long time ill and other medicines failed. She is greatly improved by the use of Nerv- ura. She had insomnia and nervous ness and can now sleep we'll There is no question that Dr. Greene $ Nervura is valuable remedy and it is down right benefit to nervous affections"
 MT. Morse's sister, Mrs. Albert F. Morse, of Canton, Mass, says:
 "I had been in feeble health for 23 years and had employed all the usual means for cure without much benefit. have had many hemorrhages of the lungs with severe neuralgia and in somnia.
 My friends had used and knew of the good results from Dr. Grcene's Nerv- ura and recommended its use to me. have now used three bottles and re- eeived help from the very first. have ROW become so much benefited that l

A Gifted Genius.

The new reporter had admitted that his knowledge of newspaper work was slight, but as the staff was short he was taken on. That he was @ good man he showed that evening in style peculiarly his own.
 He had been taking a late supper at an all night restaurant. and some little controversy arose while he was there. Grasping at once the fact that this was a news item, he stopped not to witness the trouble, but rushed to the office.
 Say" gusped he, out of breath. "there's @ rlan trying to kill the waiter over at the Australian restaurant, You'd better send a reporter over there right away. .'-Louisville Commercial.

can say that I am in the best health that l have enjoyed for three years. l sleep well and soundly and my food does not distress me at all.
 "I can heartily recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura to any person on ac- count of it's good effects on myself and friends"
 Surely no one who reads this posi- tive proof of the marvellous powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura to make the sick well, the powerful endorsement of this grandcst of medicines by one of Massachusetts foremost sta tcsmen, will hesitate another instant i'll seeking the sure road to health by using Dr. Greenc's Nervura.
 It is what thc world of sufferers needs. It is the great cure for weak ness, nervousness, tircd-out bodies, shal1y, unsteady and weakened nerves. It gives power and strength to nerves and body, with restored vigor and re- newed vitality; makes rich, red blood, cures dyspepsia, indigestion, cOnstipa- tiOn, kidney and liver complaints. It banishcs headache, slecplcssness, neu- ralgia and rheumatism. In fact it makes the sick well. Use it and prove for yourself it's wonderful power to cure.
 Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is not like the preparations put up by irresponsible and unprofessional people, but is the prescription and dis covery of widely known physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 w. 14th St., New York City, the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. It is plainly evident therefore why it always cures-because it is perfectly adapted for just these complaints. An other thing which can be said of no other medicine, and which practically assures cure by Dr. Greene's Nervura, Dr. Greene, it's discoverer, can be con- suited free, personally or by letter.

MARRYING FOR MONEY.
Clever Defense of Much COndemnG
 Matrimonial Step.

Clever Defense of a Much Condemned
 Matrimonial Step.
 Among the unnecessarily harsh judg ments pronounced upon human actions may he classcd tho universal scorn Cx- pressed toward the girl who marries for money. There are those who do not hesitate to draw the most odious com parisons between such girl and others of her sex, says 6 writer ill Vogue.
 Making of love, so called, sort of fetich, the world defles what is, after all, but an instinct, as though 1t were grander, finer thing than courage or probity or self denial, or any other real ly beautiful human trait. It applauds any insanity committed in tho name of love, provided always that the conven- tions are observed. Love that leads to the degraded lifo of the tencmcnts, to alliances with the diseased or morally weak, that throws away years of train ing in an art or 0 science, that breaks the hearts of parents of these things, and many as mOnstrOus, are OK cused if only "love' is offered as req son for their doing.
 In world like this, where, ln spite of countless public and private charities for the al1eviation of their suferings and tho permanent bettering of their conditions, thousands of helpless little ones expiate by cruel suffering and acute want their parents scorn of money con- alterations in matrimonial alliances, 1t cannot surely be wholly reprehensible to look with favor on mOneyed alliances.
 Sentiment is, indeed, to be preferred to sordidness, but the girl who decides for the decencies as well as the luxu- ries of life for herself and any chil- dren that may be born to her, by choos- ing wealth instead of poverty is not necessarily sordid. and, beautiful though sentiment may be, when to cherish it means inevitably life in small, unwhole- some quarters, the hot, stuffy town for the children even in their critical sec- ond summer (sinoe the little home can- not spare the services'of its mistress nor is there any money to spare for the seasons needed outing), when-as is usually the sentiment means all this frightful injustice to little, helpless i beings the price is too high, and it ceases to bo 0 virtue
