 He went forth, but on the way be. thought him of the clipping bureau, where. he argued, he could get the pa- pars for nothing. So he invested --a money in a good cigar, obtained the pa- pers when the clipping man was through with them ard turno7 home
 On opening che papers his wife dis covered that two items had been clipped from one and four from another, and then there vas trouble.
 It was i'll vain that he tried to ex- plain. In fact, he couldn't explain. The more he stammered out excuses the more his wife's curiosity was aroused.
 The next morning when he appeared down town his head was bandaged and he looked i'll.
 He is now consulting lawyer as to the advisability of suing the clipping bureau for damages. Atlanta Constitu tiOn.

Now when we come to reflect that system ofnerves con centrated in some part of the body are all aching at once, with their throbs and pull sations of pain, we know what the worst form of Neuralgia is. It is very common, very violent, simply because it is very often, like toothache, allowed to take its own course.

Buch with the dynamometer, man Is pre- cisely at his weakest when he turns out of bed. Our muscular force Is greatly increased by breakfast, but It attains to its highest point after the midday meal. It then sinks for a few hours, rises again towards evening, but stead fly declines from night till morning. The two chief foes of muscular force. according to pr. Buch, are overworK ard idleness.

How the Whale Escap d.

A whale Is seldom caught mapping. When, however, one Is walked from his after-dinner sleep by a passing vessel, be makes off from the intruder In great haste. The author of a recent book, with Russian Pilgrims" has a good story to tell of a whale thus disturbed.
 One day at sea, when l was a chap lain on the Vancouver, a big whale created a sensation. The upper deck was covered with loungers, for it was lovely summer afternoon, and all the deck chairs had their novel-reading oc- cupants.
 The whale was sleeping In the sum- shine, and suddenly felt his tail tickled by the passing monster. He leaped bodily out of the water in his anxiety to hurry away. The fashionable crowd gave a shout; novels flew and chairs emptied themselves quickly, as every one rushed to the rail; but the whale dived, and an infants voice said: Ma, did the whale jump out of the cabin windowW

 The novel called "The Londoners," which Robert Hichens has lately com pleted, is yet another new departure made by the author of Flames" from which book 1t differs totally. It is said to deal in not too serious a vein with society in London and at Ascot.

The Society of the Rejected.

In one of the western cities a lot of men have formed an organization, the only condition to membership to which being the fact that the candidates mat rimonial advances have been rejected by 8 woman. From all that can be learned regarding the inside proceedings it is believed that the members do not indulge in sighs and tears and all the old time evidences of heartbreak. On the contrary, it is understood that they have what may be termed riproaring good time. Their ritual, if it may be so designated, prescribes frequent mutual congratulations and hearty assurances of future happiness and fond wishes for continued freedom. This doesn't seem quite the right thin0 under the depress- ing circumstance, but it IS 8 fact that the club appears 10 enjoy it. It is even said that they get @ good deal Of pleasure out or following, as 1t were, the exist ence of the individual women who have rejected one or more of them. They eagerly watch for gains ill avoirdupois and for wrinkles and for rumors of bad temper. One of the choicest possessions of the society is a photograph of a one time naughty sylph who now weighs 2S3 pounds and has nine red haired children. Cleveland Plain Dealcr.

Peary, the Explorer, on Baking Pow
 ders.

Those going to the Klondike must re- member that reliable baking powder is an absolute necessity. If, after long and expensive trip and the great cost of transportation, the baking powder proves inferior or has lost its strength, the miner will be practically helpless. It is no time or place to experiment. What is required is baking powder that has actually stood the test of the arctic climate.
 The wellknown explorer, Lieut.. Peary, U.S.N., says of Cleveland's baking pow der, which he used on his Arctic Expe- ditions:
 "Cleveland's stood the tests of use in those high attitudes and severe temper atures perfectly and gave entire satisfac- tion. Mrs. Peary considers that there is no better baking powder made than Cleyeland's. I shall take it again on my next Expedition"
