when a fast trnin rounded the curve
behind him. AS the engine whistled
he quickencd his pace. With every
step the train was rushing nearer, and
there was not n moment to lose.
Once the young man stumbled and
seemed nbout to fall, but quickly re-
gained his balance and hurried on. As
he reached the place for which he had
started the train was close behind. and
he had just time to swing himself over
the side Of the bridge MS the locomotive
thundered by. The ends of the ties
were slippery with grease from drip
ping axle boxes, and his foot slipped
wide as he left the track. His right
hand, stretched blindly out before him,
touched round iron bar. bracing two
parts Of the bridge, and, with grip
like that Of drowning man, his fin

he swung in empty air. In another his
left hand had found place beside his
right. and his feet touched the well
come edge of brace below. With
bleeding fingers clutching the slender
iron bar that vibrated widely from side
to side, moments seemed hours.

young man was able to climb slowly to

THE FEMININE PHILOSOPHER.

Jealousy is accountable for most of
the broken friendships.
The prettest woman on earth Is the
one least conscious Of her charms.
The weakest point in mans nature
is to harm woman by malice of
speech.
One of the first aids for wounded
heart is to secure another object of af-
fection.
The happiest woman is the most de-
pendent one, despite all new womanish
theories.
The persons who work behind a wom-
ans back are generally very lazy before
her face.
The woma2 who keeps her hat on in
the theater lays herself open to the sus
picion of being bald.
The loyalty of most servants is in
proportion to the, size and regularity
of the wages paid them.
When youth isunder 20 he delights
in being called .old fellow" when he
is over 40 he enjoys the title my boy"
1t is only an absolutely cocksure
houseleeper whoiets the morning sun
in upon the, furniture in her drawing
room.
There is much-more worry in the
heart of the woman who adores foot

fear too. ,Vft

gerous symptoms. At the same
time the infection cannot be lost
sight Of, and the danger Of serious
complications, II the case be neg
lected, is an ever-present one.
To those who dread the grip, not
for the Iniseries Of influenza proper,
but for the calamitious afterclaps of
Bright's disease, consumption or
hopeleless debility, good and timely
advice would seem to be, look to
your catarrh trouble. Consult q
specialist, one thoroughly trained
and qualified by years of experince
in the treatment Of those diseases
that effect the respiratory organs.
DIR. Ramsey's new method of Dry
Air Medication is admitted to be
second to none in the treatment and
cure Of chronic catarrhal conditions.
The treatment is mild and painless; /;
1t can be easily administered to
small children.
1t is the only rational method of
treating this class of diseases, and
is strictly up to date in every sense
of the word.
Limitations of medicated dry air
opens up, cleanses, soothes and
heals the obstructed and in1amed
air passages, while at the same time
the constitutional or internal RENEE
dies build mp the system, giving it
toLe, vitality and strength to recover
itself, and to resist the attack of 9TH
er disease.
In the majority of cases where la
grippe or ca dyArrhal fever has result
ed fatally the patient has long been
u sufferer from chronic catarrh.
Nearly every case Ct la grippe leaves
a systemic catarrhal condition
which, unless It is cured, renders the
patient liable to chronic bronchitis
or pneumonia and consumption. La
grippe often causes chronic oatarrh; (;
chronic catarrh in turn often invites
la grippe. PEOPLE at this time of the
year should be more careful than
ever to check the progress Of catar-
rhal trouble, and, II possible, Grade
cate from the system every symptom
of catarrhal poison.l

Rather curiously Roxane In "Cyrano
de Bergerac" belongs to the modern
type which dates from the days Of
the Hotel de Rambouillet and has al
ways had its votaries In France. To
those precieuses mere conversation
was une betise. They. liked declama-
tions: discussion, not on the right of
woman to the ballot. but whether she
should be held little higher than the
angels or consent to be beloved. This
phase of preclosity led up to the

fashion Of preparing an intellectual bill

An Insult Well Handled.

You can always trust the American
woman to take care of herself. The
friends of girl who lives in Eight

an adventure which befell her one aft

standing. this Eighteenth street girl, at
the corner of f and Eleventh streets

the town-for most Washingtonians are
too well aware of the girls social emf

airily:

The girl turned to look at him.
"Guess you've forgotten me-" he
went on with growing familiarity. ~

The girl looked at him steadily for a
moment.
"Oh, remember now" she said. "It
was at Colonel Blanks. You are Colo

Most children are fond Of keeping
rabbits. The varieties most generally
preferred are the tame Himalay-
an and Dutch rabbits and Belgian
hares--as these are hardy and not ex-
pensive. They must be kept in a
warm, sheltered place and be provided
with roomy hutches and grass run II
possible. Rabbits are very fastldious
animals and will scarcely ever touch
musty or stale food. Variety In food Is
essential to their health.
Too much green food Is hurtful;
therefore give little grain once a
day. They may have peas which have
been soaked and dried oats. tares. hay,
bran, sliced carrots, turnlps. lawn
mowings. dandellons. milk. thistles and
n little oil cake occasionally. Give wa
ter night and morning, but do not leave
the pan in the hutch. Plenty of clean
Etraw must be supplied and the hutch
kept perfectly clean.

Joe Mccormick of the International

Every one who has ever been child
will recall that sense of injury entailed
by being sent to bed early-that convic-
tion that you were being deprived of the
most interesting part of the whole day.
There is really no knowing what the
elders are up to when once they get
the youngsters tucked up safe in bed,
but 1t stands to reason 1t must be very
interesting, or why would they be in
such hurry to get the youngsters out
of the way?
With some children this amounts to
more than mere feeling. It was little
girl of the latter sort who begged so
hard to sit up just for once that her
mother one evening, not SO long ago
said that she might How the little
girls eyes danced at the prospect of all
the wonderful things she would see for
herself upon this her first occasion of
"sitting upw How commseratingly
she regarded the other children who
were as usual packed Off to bed at an
early hour! She seated herself In her
small chair and eagerly awaited devel-
opments.
But imagine her surprise when her
parents, as was their custom, seated
themselves at the library table and. un-
socially, but hyglenically, turning their
backs to the light, began to read. For
some time the little girl rocked away
in her small chair In silence. Then
