The Society of the Neglected..

In one of the western cities 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 woman. From all that can be
learned regarding the inside proceedings
it is believed that the members do not
indulge in signs and tears and all the
old time evidences of heartbreak. On
the contrary, it is understood thai 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 thing under the depress-
ing circumstances, but it is fact that
the club appears to enjoy it. 1t is even
said that they get a good deal OF pleasure
out of following, as it were, The exist
ence Of the individual women who have
rejected one or more of them. They
eagerly watch for gains in avoirdupois
and for wrinkles and for rumors of bad
temper. One of the choicest possessions
Of the society is photograph of one
time haughty sylph who now weighs
1888 pounds and has nine red haired
children. cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE sAGEBRUSH.

krhsc Colorado morning the purple mists
unfold
And phantom mirage picture is on mountain
wall enscrolled,
Then the air from distant foothills is like odor
. Of new wine,
And the breath from scrubby sagebrusn Is
more fragrant than the pine.
The eastern birding HES him to forest deep
and wide.
On a tree tops highest branches he wooes his
feathered bride.
But the western songster MARBLES of "the land
that is mine aim
From a clump Of pale green sagebrush on the
gently billowed plain.
The gaunt and long cared rabbits their longest
gallops gauge
To rest at home securely in their hutches
meath the sage,
And the coyote calls together all his gray and
willy train,
swift shadows in the shadow of the sagebrush
on the plain.
It's brave and woody armor the winters frost
defies,
And it clothes the lonely sand world with a
bonny sweet surprise.
Summer smiles upon its proves, guarding
fields of golden grain.
It Is forest, grass and hedgerow to the wild
and sandy plain.

One such case was very absurd in the

One day Marchesi lost patience with

"Get married, my dear child" said
she, land become good wife. You

The girl laughingly replied that she
believed it was easier to get good en-
gagement than a good husband, but
shortly afterward, on coming for her
lesson, she whispered:

AIDS HEALTH

Sound Teeth and Body Only to Be Had
by Its Frequent Use.
It is but little thing, yet on its
proper use depends much of the happi-
ness of modern man. Why civilized
teeth should be so rotten is question
which has often been debated, and prob
ably the true answer is more complex
than some would think. Many good
mothers are content to put all toothache
down to lollipops, but that sugar in it
self is not responsible for bad teeth is
proved by the splendid ''ivories'' often
possessed by negroes who practically
live upon the sugar cane and thrive
upon it, too, during the whole of the
season when it is in maturity. Dental
decay is common enough, however,
among negroes in towns, and it seems
clear that the carries of the teeth which
is so common among most civilized
races is due not to any particular article
of diet so much as to digestive and nu-
tritive changes imposed upon US by our
mode of life and to some extent by the
fact that by hook or crook we do some
how manage to live, notwithstanding
our bad teeth, whereas in a state of ma
ture the teothless man soon dies.
Recognizing, then that until the time
arrives when some great social reformer
either mends or ends our present social
conditions our teeth will tend to rot,
and that, whatever the predisposing
causes, the final act in the production of
carries is the lodgment of microbes on
and around the teeth, we see that for
long to come the toothbrush will be a
necessity if the health is to be main
tanned. 1t is only by the frequent use of
this little instrument that tn )se minute
accommodations can be removed which
are at the root of SO much mischief. A
few elementary lessons in bacteriology
would, We fancy, greatly startle many
people and certainly would show them
the futility of trusting to one scrub a
day. The fact is that if people, instead
of looking at the toothbrush from an
aesthetic point of view and scrubbing
away with tooth powders % to make
their front teeth white. would regard
it merely as an aid to cleanliness, they
would see that the time to use it is aft
er meals and at night, not just in the
morning only, when the debris is left
from the day before has been ferment-
ing and brewing acid all night through.
They would also see how inefficient an
instrument the common toothbrush is
unless it is used with considerable judg-
ment. One of the secondary advantages
Of spending q good deal of money on
dentistry is that at least one learns the
value of ones teeth. BY the time we
have got them dotted over with gold
stoppings and gold crowns we learn to
take care of them, even although that
may involve the trouble Of cleaning
them more than once day and using
perhaps moro than one brush for the
purpose.

Naming the Baby.

She was young mother, and it was
her first. 1t was the prettiest, the most
intelligent--in fact, there never was
such all infant. So she thought it should
have a name which would distinguish
it from all others. After great deal OF
thinking she announced her decision.
"Papa," she said to the happy father,
81 have thought OF q name for the baby.
We will call her Imogen.
Papa was matter of fact man, who
knew there was nothing in that baby
different from most others, and he didn't
wish to see his child saddled with a
name that wouldn't fit in with other
circumstances.
Clancy her marrying man named
Snools," he thought. "Imogen Shocks
will sound nice, won't it? But if say
30 she'll begin to cry and will insist
upon it,
After little reflection he thought of
plan.
81 think that's lovely name, my
dear!' he cried. 'It was my first sweet
hearts. She will take it as a compli-
ment, and it will always remind me.
Yes, that and your dear mothers name,
Mary, are the best / know"

The Lost Dime.

He tried at first to get the dime out
with his fingers, next he took his cane,
then his pocket knife. and he even
pressed into service the fingers and knife
Of the messenger boy sitting next him.
But it was no use. The dime would not
be lured from it's resting place, and, be-
ing plainly ignorant of cable Car ETH
uuette in such emergencies-namely,
asking the passengers to hold up their
feet while the whole section of Slated
flooring is lifted-he finally gave it up
and with very red face and muttered
word left the car. His feet had hardly
left the step when the conductor came
quickly forward from the rear platform.
With the other passengers he had be-
fore this been disposed to smile at the
discontinue of the owner of the dime,
but now his manner was changed. "All
that fuss over 10 cent piece, said the
conductor as he raised the flooring and
nicking up said 10 cent piece, dropped

UNSPOkEN SYMPATHY.

And make your wheel buzz down below.
You can't stop me while water flows.
I may be q river yet-who knOwsf
See how tho brown mold over me Sits.
Bury me deeper meath leaves in drifts.
Forget IN here, deep out Of sight,
Where - Is dark-as dark as night.
You can't hide me while acOrns grow,

Keep me in dresses and play I'm girl:
Keep my long hair nicely in curl.
But I'm a boy, doubt that who can,
And some bright day I'll be a man.
The world will know me-that's what I said
For I've thinker in my head.

A Picture of China Today.


Mandarindom literally goeth about as
q roaring lion seeking what it can de-
your. Offices are held at fixed prices by
metropolitan and provincial authorities
taxes are collected in full, but are deci-
mated before they reach the imperial
treasury; "the big fish eat the little
fish, and the little fish eat mud" by
which smile the Chinese proverb ex-
presses aptly the fact that the great
officials feed upon the smaller ones and
that they in turn feed upon the people.
No official position in the empire can be
obtained without the use of money, nor
retained without illegal practices. If
then nothing can be hoped for from the
rulers of China, what can be said about
the student class which is placed at the
head of the four divisions of the people?
This class is conceited beyond endur-
ance; they still speak, Of the Ground
heaven and square earth" and dilate
upon the five elements.
Foreigners are still to them barbarians
who came to China to learn the laws Of
propriety; the five great continents rep
resent only divisions of ancient feudal
states tributary to their country, and
commerce is despised as only being tax
en- up by those who have not the men
tai power to master books. They wear
their large goggles, cultivate their fin
ger nails into enormous lengths, assume
the staggering gait with which Con-
fucius is said to have walked and have
a silent contempt for all but them
Eelves. They regard woman as their in
ferior and rightful slave:-North China
