An amusing story is told of how tho
late Lord Fitzgerald discounted a treas.
ury official who was sent over from
England to complain of the excessive
expenditure for coal i'll the lord chief
Justices court. He received tho man
and listened gravely and formally while
the latter stated his GRAND and en-
larged upon the Importance of economy
In the matter of fuel. At the conclu-
sion Of the discourse ho rang the bell,
and when tho servant appeared said,
Tell Mary that the man has come
about tho coals.''

The Abscntminded Man.

An amusing case of absentminded-
ness was experienced by young south
slider the other evening. The young
man is usually of Il bright nature, but
for some time past his friends have been
noticing that he does some peculiar
things. Not long ago he wns Mt re-
ception, and few minutes before. clos
ing time he went to the coat box and
secured his hat and coat. Then he walk
ed up stairs to the dancing floor and
picked mp another coat and walked
homo with it OH his arm. Arriving at
his home, he found that ho had ono
coat on and another on his arm. The
next day be found the owner of the ex-
ira coat, and mutual explanations fol-
lowed and all was we'll. But that has
been eclipsed by his latest exploits. He
had finished his toilet and started for
tho street. AS soon as he made his ap-
pearanco he was greeted with smiles
from everybody who saw him. He
walked down the street and could not
imagine what made the passersby smile
at him. Finally he reached the restau-
rant where he takes his meals, and then
he realized that he was carrying some
thing i'll his hand. He looked ut it and
found that he had carried the lighted
lamp from his room and had walked
several blocks along tho main street
with it i'll his hand.
Another case is cited concerning tho
same young man. At the office where
he is employed he has occasion to an
swer many calls at the telephone. Ono
evening he was reading book in his
room when an alarm clock rang in the
adjoining room. The absentminded
youth got up and commenced to yell
Hello! Hello" and when the occu-
pant of the other room inquired as to
the cause of tho yelling the young man
said in sheepish manner, "Oh, i
thought it was the telephone bell ring

Talk 1t Over.

have learned some things in the
course OF long business life and still
have great many others to learn.
But the chief thing have learned
can be condensed into one nugget of
wisdom i'll three words, Talk it over.
If thy business enemy offend thee,
don't smite him on the cheek. Take
him by the buttonhole in Il friendly
manner and talk it over.
Some one tells you that Smith, down
the street, has said or done something
to your detriment. Perhaps he has, and
perhaps he has not. If he has, your best
policy is to prevent his repeating his re-
mark or deed in the future. If he has
not, you don't want to do him an injus-
tico, even i'll your own mind
Put on your hat. leave your temper
at home, go down and make friendly
call. Be neighborly, frank, open. Tell
him tho truth and ask him for equal
frankness. Nine hundred and ninety
nine times out of thousand tho whole
matter will he explained and straight
ened out in five minutes, and you will
part as personal friends rather than as
personal and business enemies. You
will both feel better, you will live eide
by side i'll harmony; the earth will be
brighter, the sunshine clearer, your OWN
heart lighter and mankind take ON n
moro friendly aspect. Don't get mad
and rush to your desk and send scorch-
ing letter; TO man and Il Christian
and go yourself.

A young Homan about to be presented at
court receives the fullest instructions as to
her behavior. She is told how to dress: how
to manage her train; how to courtesy cor
rectly. Every incident is carefully rehearsed
SO that she may commit no blunder in the
presence of royalty. If all this trouble is
worth while for the satisfaction of one brief
moment, how infinitely more important it is
that young girl about to enter into the
sacred precincts of womanhood, should be
properly instructed in all that concerns a
lifetime of possible happiness, or possible
misery.
Every mother ought to see to it that her
daughters are healthy and strong in wo-
that any neglect or irregularity of the spe-
cial functions of womanhood may result in
fe-long weakness and disease.
Any mother or daughter may write con-
corning these delicate ailments, with the
utmost confidence to DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.
Her letter will be answered free of charge
with suggestions for selftreatInent at home,
by which these complaints may be overcome
without need of notifying examinations.
DR.. Pierce has had over thirty years ex-
perience in the treatment of women's dis
eases, and is an eminent specialist in this
particular field of practice. His Favoritc
Prescription - cures completely and perna-
nently the most obstinate cases of feminine
weakness and disease. 1t heals all inflamed
conditions, strengthens and tones the nerve
centres and the entire womanly organism.
For prospective mothers and nursing
mothers, the Favorite Prescription f" is
perfect strength sustainer.
