Tho Note Hurt Her Feelings.

A young gentleman whose gallantry
was largely in excess of his pecuniary
means sought to remedy the defect and
save the money required for the purchase
of expensive flowers by arranging with a
gardener to let him have bouquet from
time to time in return for his cast of
clothes.
1t thus happened one day that he re-
Ceived bunch of the most beautiful roses,
which he at once sent off to his lady love.
In sure anticipation Of friendly welcome
he called at the house of the lady the same
evening and was not little surprised at
the frosty reception he met with.
"You sent me note today, the young
lady remarked after pause In the most
frigid tone
"I-anote9" he inquired in blank aston.
ishment.

"And there was note insidep'

Longevity Influenced by Water.

Solid and dry as the human body ap'
pears, water constitutes more than one
fourth Of its bulk, and all the functions OF
life arc really carried on In water bath,
and, although the sense Of thirst may be
trusted to call for a draft Of water when
required, the fluid can be imbibed most
advantageously for many reasons besides
merely satisfying thirst. In the latter
stage Of digestion, when communion of
the mass Is incomplete, 1t Is much faoili-
tated by moderate draft of water, which
disintegrates and dissolves the contents of
the stomach, fitting it for emulgencs and
preparing it for assimilation. Hence the
habit of drinking water In moderate guam.
titles between meals contributes to health
ndindioates the fact that those who visit
health resorts for the purpose Of imbibing
the waters Of mineral springs might profit
by staying at home and drinking more
water and less whisky.
Water Is the universal solvent of nature
and the chief agent in all transformations
of matter. When taken into an empty
stomach, 1t soon begins to pass out through
the tissues into the circulation to liquefy
effete solids, whose e1cretion from tho sys-
tenn is thus facilitated. Very few people
think Of the necessity Of washing the in
side as well as the outside of the body, and
he who would be perfectly healthy should
be as careful about the cleanliness Of his
stomach as that of his skin.-New York

DAUDET AS A YOUTH,
He Played the Heroic and Was Told to
Get His Hair Cut,


Get His Hair Cut,
When he was a boy, Alphonse Daudet's
father failed, and for some time the two
lived together in poverty in Lyons. An
elder brother, Ernest, however, got posi-
ton in glass store in Paris, and finally
when II years DID, Alphonse went to live
with him and to try his fortunes in the
great city. Ernest's wages amounted to
only $50 q month, and Alphonse brought
nothing with him from Lyons except about
40 cents and voracious appetite. He is
even said to have worn rubber boots ON
that memorable journey. The two broth
ers took lodgings in an attic and for sew
eral years led poverty stricken life.
Nothing, however, discouraged the two
lads. Both had confidence that there was
future in literature for Alphonse, who
In these trying years wrote volume of
poems which he had succeeded in getting
printed. A copy of the volume fell under
the eye of Empress Eugenie, who persuad-
cd her brother in law, the Duke of Morny,
to hunt the young man up and help him.
The result of the empress interest in tho
young poet was that the duke invited him
to cali upon them. When Daudet entered
the duke asked:
Can you write?'
eyes, sir, replied Daudet.
VERY good want secretary. Pay,
5000 francs. Good morning"
The boy was nearly overcome. He had
never imagined that any one was paid that
much q year-about 81, 600 But he sud
denly remembered that he differed in poll
tics from the duke and drawing himself
up announced the fact.
Instead of being deeply moved by his
heroic course, the duke said: ooh, go and
get your hair cut. l don't care anything
about your political beliefs. "-Pittsburg
