The Neighborliness of Neighbors.

Talking about neighbors-people gen
orally do, you know-quite a good story
turned up the other day. Whether or
not it is true must he left to the reader,
but certainly it not inaptly illustrates a
rather too common weakness of these
frequently too distant near ones.
An old lady who had recently moved
into fashionable locality with her two
daughters was somewhat aggrieved at
her distinguished neighbors not calling.
In truth, only seven of them did So
one to inquire as to the character of a
former servant and the other six to Sc
cure subscriptions for various charitable
institutions.
Under such circumstances the de-
lights of social life were somewhat cur
tailed. Whether or not this went to the
old lady's heart cannot be said, but GER
tain it is that in few short weeks she
was dead. The neighbors flocked to the
funeral The rooms were crowded. All
was pity, love and sympathy. In the
middle of it all the old lady sat up and
said it did her good to see so many kind
faces about, while the two daughters
handed around coffee and ices, the guests
finally departing in the funeral car

A Story of Beaconsfield.

Lord Beaconsfeld was in theory a
female suffragist But his Irritation was
OF avery platonic character, for, al
though he had often the power to give
practical effect to his pious opinion, he
took care never to do so. Once the oppo-
sition leaders We're very anxious to find
out what course he intended to pursue in
regard to certain matter. They turned
loose upon him well known political
beauty. She talked and talked, he gazed
and gazed. At length she asked him.
He oppressed her hand, looked unutterable
admiration and observed, pretty dar-
lingp" I remember how my admiration
for Lord Beaconsfeld rose when I first
heard this tale. London Truth.

Luck In Old Shoes.

The Chinese value pair of old boots
which have been worn by an upright
magistrate, and the custom of wishing a
friend 'happy foot" is still observed
all through Europe. The casual putting
on the left shoe on the right foot, put
ting it on uneven or crosswise, bursting
the latch or tie, lacing it wrong and
losing button are all bad signs. A
Yorkshire man will spit in his right
shoe before putting it on, when going
out Oh important business, to bring luck,
and many an English girl has been
known to hang her boots outside of the
window ON ST. Valentines night for
love luck.
Professor Black tells us of singular
superstition existing in England, which
insists that if the youngest daughter of
family marries first her sisters must
dance at the wedding without shoes, SO
as to insure husbands for themselves.
Old shoe throwing is done for many
purposes. In Ireland the election of a
person to almost any Office is concluded
by throwing an old shoe over his head.
Ihe gypsleS say:
Hurle after an old shoe,
I'll be merry what here do.
In the isle of Man an old shoe is al
ways thrown after the bride, as well as
the groom, when leaving their homes,
and in the south the Oldest person on
the plantation, white or black, always
throws shoe after any one starting on
a long journey. 1t is said that Nine.
Patti and other women of high standing
on the stage preserve most carefully the
boots they wore at their debut, which
they consider lucky to wear on the first
nights of engagements forever AFTER

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the Crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the commonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work if he
will take care of his health and when he
feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.

Werkojank, Siberia, Is the Coolest Region

The coolest region of the globe, that

Vegetation is scanty. There are no

He HAS MOVED.
Gradually Acquiring Information Concern-

Gradually Acquiring Information Concern
ing Methods of Collecting a Bill.
when we moved into the country"
said Mr. Changoofair, 81 almost won
dered at the absolute, confidence Of the
boss of the moving party. 1t was a long
haul two or three vans, and the bill
matter of $40 or $50, but they moved
everything out of the vans into the house
clean before the boss driver presented
the bill. wondered what they would
do if somebody should say then that he
would call at the office and settle or
something of that sort. But, then, I
knew was going to pay; that it had
been perfectly safe to get the stuff in
and collect the bill afterward of me, and
made up my mind that they were
keen men, who knew people when they
met them, whom they could trust and
whom not.
"Well, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved us in, but
they didn't know us at the Office any
more than if they had never heard of
us. Arrived in the city, the men with
the vans--it was a different crew from
that that took us out-began Juggling in
the things just as the men that moved
us out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay, and wondered
again what would happen if they got
the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept on hustling
the things in just as if they felt perfectly
easy and secure about that.
after awhile the stuff was pretty
much all Theoretically all but the
piano-and wondered why they hadn't
brought that in before, because l had
seen it loaded, and knew it was one of
the last things loaded on at the very
rear end of one of the vans. So I went
out to see, and there was the piano,
right where had seen it when it was
put aboard, at the extreme rear end of
the van, while all the stuff in front had
been taken out, carried around the end
of the piano and Oh into the house. In
front of it the van was empty.
Passing through the hall, I met the
head driver, the boss of the party, and
he, just casually meeting me in that
way in the hall, handed over the bill for
the moving, and paid it on the spot.
Then, everything else having been
moved in, the whole gang Tailed on to
the piano and walked it right into the
house.
"Of course it may have only just hap
pened that the piano wasn't moved in
until had paid the bill, but this didn't
give me quite such a flattering opinion
Of myself as the other way had, but it
more than confirmed my original opin-
ion of the shrewdness and ability of the
van folks. They made few mistakes and
took even fewer risks New York

PREMATURE WRINKLES.
They Are the Record of Thoughts Forced
on the Face.


They Are the Record of Thoughts Forced
on the Face.
Wrinkles are as natural to old age as
is a full, smooth face to childhood They
are due mainly to certain shrinkage of
the muscles--a shrinkagc which charac.
terizes more or less the entire system in
the later period of life. 1t is in conse-
quence Of this general shrinkage that in
advanced life the height is somewhat
lowered; that the substance Of the jaws
contracts, thus often giving rise, by
pressure on the nerves that pass through
the bony canals, to severe and difficult
neuralgia, and that the brain substance
becomes reduced in bnlk, water s.Illne
the vacant space. We're It not for the
fixed habits and accumulated resources
of lifetime an old mans brain would
not be equal to the work which he still
performs easily There is, of course
much difference between old people in
this respect, which is due largely to
temperament, habits of thought and of
feeling and modes of life.
The papers lately told of man over
100 years old whose face was wholly
without wrinkles. This was very ex.
ceptional case, for the great body of us,
if we attain length of days, must take
them with the addition of physical de-
cay. Even the proud belle must make
up her mind for wrinkles. but it, as she
grows older, she grows in good sense,
intelligence and kindly sympathies, her
beauty of character will have an attrac-
ton far beyond beauty of face. While
wrinkles result from the natural work
ing Of the system. they may also be
caused by a perverted condition of the
system, as are pimples, blotches and
boils.
Now, the human face, unlike that of
brutes, was meant to be the mirror of
the mind" the visible expression of ev-
cry passion, emotion and inmost feeling
Herein is its chief beauty; hence its
numerous muscles and nerves, whereby
it is so wonderfully adjusted to this end
But muscles in constant or frequent ex-
ercise increase in volume, strength and
readiness of action; hence habits of
thought and feeling become stamped on
the face, and we read so easily the
character of the proud, the vain, the de-
ceitful and the sensual man or of the
kind, the calm, the energetic, the frank,
the candid and the honest man. But
there is nothing like care and worri-
ment to pillow burrows in the forehead,
and these are badly marring the faces of
some men and women. We pass in the
streets persons of 30 whose foreheads are
more wrinkled than the brow should be
at 20. Some of these may have more
care than others, but they unnecessarily
yield to the tendency to express them in
the face.-Leeds Mercury

Charitable Chinese.

The Chinese are a charitable people,
all of whom give freely up to their af-

man is a member of some charitable
body. During the terrible plague which
fell upon Hongkong some years age
hundreds of collins were gratuitously
provided by the richer of the native
merchant class. But not one of those
Hongkong Samaritans thought of send,
ing medical aid to his stricken coun
trymen. Often in China you will see
some old grave broken open. Those who
cared for it and worshiped about it are
dead or gone to Australia or California.
Usually those broken graves display a
heavy coffin Sometimes through the
cracks of mortar or earth we see a. large
jar of clay, painted green blue or red.
Such urns contain the bones and ashes
of poor Cinnamon who have died far
from home

THE, RAINBOW IN THE SPRAY.

The tide is foul that sweeps about the tow
A yellow, turbid, Disseminating flood
OF city refuse mixed and oil and mud.
But when q ferryboat, big, ugly, brown,
Against the gale OF March comes numbering
down,
The waves she filings to either side are bright
With spray as dazzling in the suns keen
light,
As white, as fair, as pure as snow st dawn.
And in the spindrift from each chopping crest
The colors of the rainbow mect and play.
SO in each life, however dull and gray,
There comes some breeze of fortune at its best,
Cheering the heart with love or hope or rest
And shining like the rainbow in tho spray.

and has not to any appreciate extent
been diverted and wasted in wanton
luxury 1t is none Of the public's busi-
