A HUSBANDS REVENGE.

A charmingly pretty cyclist recently
attracted the attention OF a certain
French vicomte, we'll known among
the elegant automobilists in Paris, and
he obtained an introduction to her.
She was the wife Of fashionable dent
list, Mansieur t.
The vicomte received permission 10
call, and was received several times by
the lady in her drawing room. AT last,
however, he behaved in such a lover
like manner that Nine. T., being an
noyed, told her husband.
On the following day when the
vicomte appeared Monsieur T. sur
prised him in the midst Of passionate
declaration to his wife, and, pretend
ing to have heard nothing and to re-
gard the visitor as patient, he invited
him to his consulting room.
The vicomte was charmed to be let
off in this easy manner, and at once
said that one of his back teeth had
been aching. AS a matter of fact, MS
teeth were faultless, and he was ex-
ceedingly proud of them.
But the dentist, making him sit
down, examined his teeth deliberately
and carefully, and then, suddenly an
plying the foreceps, extracted large
molar.
There" he said. 81 don't think II
will be necessary for you to call again.
That trouble is settled"
Then he calmly pocketed his fee OF
20 francs. and the vicomte departed. a
sadder, IL wiser. man. He has MT
called again.

A young reporter was going out to
dinner yesterday, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, when he met a young
lady in whom he has been very much
interested lately.
She looked up at him and smiled her
brightest smile, and the young mans
heart was joyful.
We'll, what's the news?" she ques-
toned, as he fell into step.
Empress of Austria's just been as
sassinated," he replied, with all the
importance OF the first telling
The girls face took on an appropri-
ate twist of sadness.
ooh, isn't that too bad" she cried
sympathetically did it hurt her very
badly?"
The reporter gasped, and that par
ticular young lady will never know
quite how much her simple, kindly
question cost her in his opinion.

Alphonse de Man, contractor for the

We are promised a revolution in
matches. There is a prospect OF the
wooden match industry being appar-
ciably affected by new invention for
manufacturing matches from paper. as
the best wood for this purpose IS con-
stantly growing scarcer and more
costly. The new matches are consid-
erably cheaper than the wooden prod
uct, and weigh much less, which counts
for much in expectation. The sticks OF
the matches consist of rolled paper i'm
mersed in solution of wax, stearine,
and similar substances. They are made
in one operation, being turned by ma
chinery into long, thin tubes; pieces of
