"We Americans travelling abroad are
apt to be very proud of our reputation
for cleyerness, said tourist who went
bicycling in Europe last summer. "And
no doubt we have reason to be. But
am going to tell you how I had some Of
the conceit taken out of me.
We were going through Switzerland
and had reached the close Of the first
days descent toward Geneva. The road
had been too steep to coast without the
aid OF brake, and as we were afraid to
use our brakes for fear our tires would
not last us through our trip we back
pedaled all the way.
As we were sitting after supper on
the veranda Of the lodge discussing the
fatigue Of our unusual exercise and
dreading the morrow, which meant
more of the same sort, our attention was
suddenly called to a cloud of dust de-
scending the mountain side. Then we
saw cyclist, coasting as nice as you
please, towing good sized sapling by
a rope tied to the rear of his wheel,
which acted as an effective brake with
out injury to the tires. One Of the boys
calculated, Well, why didn't we think
of that?' The rest were simply dumb.
That man was German. 1 now take
off my hat to our German brethren of
the wheel. New York Sun.

Grace had returned to her task and
made one or two awkward motions

Aunt Faith had admitted him and had
retreated toward her chair. There were
shame and pleading in his voice.
Grace caught her hat and went to
him without another word.

as if she hardly understood this new de-
velopment of affairs, she ran back and

A FEW DoN'Ts.
Advice That Has = Direct Bearing OF
Health and Happiness.

Advice That Has = Direct Bearing on
Health and Happiness.
Perhaps you have all heard or read
the advice contained in the following
"don' It's" but it is good enough to be
repeated over and over again We take
them from paper that seems to think
as we do about it:
Don't catch cold. Catching cold is
much more preventable than it is gen
orally supposed to be. Keep your feet
warm and dry, your head cool, your
chest well protected Avoid exposure
with an empty stomach. Take care not
to cool off suddenly when you are heat
ed Keep out of drafts, wear hannels
and be careful generally.
Don't sleep in the same hannels that
you wear during the day.
Don't wear thin stockings or light
soled shoes in cold or in wet weather.
Don't neglect personal cleanliness,
but use the bath with moderation and
in accordance with your general health.
The daily cold bath is all right for the
rugged, but it is great tax upon the
vitality Of weak persons and should not
be INDUCED in if the results are at all
doubtful. Tepid water is always better
for those that are not in robust health.
Judge for yourself.
Don't keep the sun out of your living
rooms and your sleeping rooms Sun
light is absolutely necessary to put in
proper condition the air that we breathe.
Don't neglect your house drainage.
The first condition of the family's
heath is a dry, sweet atmosphere.
Don't forget that DR.. Good Habits,
Dr.. Diet and Dr.. Exercise are the best
doctors in the world.-Philadelphia
Times.

1t is not generally understood fact
that the condition of the teeth has
much to do with the health, beauty and
usefulness of the eyes That an liberated
tooth will often cause extreme infiam-
nation of the eyes is true, and case is
reported of almost total blindness caused
by the teeth crowding together. A half
grown boy, who had complained of al
most incessant uneasiness in his jaws
and had been visited with periodical at
lacks Of the most violent toothache, re-
tired one night in his usual condition,
but upon awakening the next morning
it was discovered that he was blind.
The eyes presented a most unnatural
appearance and the countenanoe was
strained and distressed. After good
deal of investigation it was decided to
remove some of his teeth and see if this
would afford relief Six teeth were ex-
tracted and the boy was given sedative
treatment. After few days the sight
became normal and there has been no re-
turn of the difficulty. Children who APP
pear to have too many teeth should be
carefully looked after, especially if they
complain Of their eyes in any way.
Sometimes the symptoms are only Sec
ondary, but an acute diagnostioiAn will
speedily detect the exact state of the
case. New York Ledger.

The Word 'Toast. -

The word "toast, ? used for describ-
ing the proposal of health in an after
dinner speech, dates back to medieval
times, when the loving cup was still re-
garded as an indispensable feature of
every banquet. The cup would be filled
to the brim with wine or mead, in the
center of which would be floating a
piece of toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto the host would pass the cup
to the guest of honor seated ON his right
hand, and the latter would i'll turn pass
it to his right hand neighbor In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table, each one present taking
sip, until finally the cup would come
back to the host, who would drain what
remained and swallow the piece of toast
In honor Of all the friends assembled at
his table

And play around your bower.

That could understand,
And the perfumes Of my petals
You'd spread Ger all the land

The Plan Which Large Manufacturer
Found Successful.
The question, "What is to become of
the old man?'' is one that is frequently
discussed. Generally it is meant to ap-
ply to men who have not been able to
save sufficient money to support them
in their declining years and whose eco
nomic efficiency has become impaired
by the passing of years To be depend
ent upon their children or relatives is
humiliation that would imbitter that
part Of their lives which should be free
from care. The almshouse is horror of
degradation from which they shrink.
In some countries the governments have
endeavored to solve the problem by a
system of labor pensions. This is done
in Germany; but, despite its merits, it
still savors of charity or paternalism.
A few individuals have sought for a
solution in this country In at least one
community the employer of /, 900 men
insures the lives of all his wopAmen up
to So, 200, and after % years Of continu-
GUS service an employee may retire and
continue to draw full wages as long as
he lives To do this the employer says
that it costs him not over l per cent of
his wages account, which he regards as
the cheapest possible insurance against
strikes and against the disturbance
caused by constantly changing his work
ing force He puts by every year that
small percentage of his profits to the ac-
count Of wear and tear upon labor, just
as he does larger percentage to the ac-
count of wear and tear upon machinery.
He is an earnest advocate of a national
labor pension and insurance system-not
by the government, but by an associa-
ton Of employers. New York Mail and

PARADISE ALE Y.

The passing of Paradise alley is an
event of no mean importance. The
famous alley in Now York has been
DESTROYED and it's wealth Of poverty
has given way to the onward march
of progress 1t was from this alley
that the author OF the song bearing its
name caught his inspiration. Md
there is something about the song that
cannot die. 1t will not live always
under the title of Paradise Alley, bur 1t
will find expression IN some manner
and uudpr sDrlp title so long as the
human heart beats responsive to TIE
cal, of distress or the appeals OF power
tv. The Thought was not new to tie
song writer. 1T has been cOteDr0ra-
neous with all generations. The alley
in poveyt, row was u good SUBJECT,
and unuueStionably there was III the
allev some bright light, some ragged.
bricht-faccd little dar qhter of Widow
McNallv, an1 undoubtedly she added
some hanpin ass to those about her.
One of the 3'DrieS OF natune is found
in it's law of compensation. Never
was community so rich that it did
not have some sorrow or atfllctlon
never was a neighborhood SO poor that
il did not bave some Sunshine and hap
Diness. Paradise alley had its daugh-
ter of Widow McNaliy. in her the
poor and destitute, the afflicted and
suffering, found friend. She was up
bright and early fillnC thc dinGy alley
with music of her cLeery voice. She
was a wild rose in spot barren of flow
Rs and vegetation a song bird among
the dpspondeut "a living hope IN the
realms of despair; promise to the
heavy hearted ; a voice from the upper
and better world a ray light in the
darkness the morning calling to the
night the sunshine of Paradise alley.
The alley may become thing Of the
past but the sentiment Of the song Will
be cherished. 1t has been sung in
every city and hamlet in the land; its
merry swing and sw'" ~ pathetic
gladness have touched tne hearts of
high aud low, of rich !; I'd lDor alike !;
its rollicking sadness ait 8 apathet1c
iov have given it Dopula tiy III every
walk and grade OF life. II is put the
echo of songs sung long years ago; 1T
is a continuation of the mingled signs
aud hopes, sobs and laughter. which
have given pathos aud sweetness to
the melodies which from time
immemorial have sprung from union
of poverty and love. We forget the
commonplace Of the language Ill the
beauty of the sentiment. They may
remove the grimy walls and dlngy
hooks which constituted the real
Paradise alley; they may obllterate the
words which form the title. but they
cannot destroy the sentiment which
made the song -Qninu's Review.
