Caution in lntroducf!ons.

Outside of ones own house every
one should be careful in the matter of
making introductions. A lady at a
friends house may safely introduce
two persons whom she knows well. A
man makes introductiOns more care
fully, and both men and women must
first, IL possible, get the consent of the
persons to be introduced. An excep-
ton to this rule, which hardly needs
to be noted. comes when three or four
persons are thrown together, some of
whom are strangers to all but one of
the others. In this case to save awk-
wardness simple Introduction should
he made. Some persons Of genial dis
position feel 1t necessary to introduce
all ersons in their immediate neigh
borhood mt any social function. 1t is
needless to say that this wholesale in
Producing Is entirely mistake, and
that those who engage In II usually
make themselves very obnoxious to
their acquaintances. A woman has al
ways more freedom than n man in
making introductions, and man, for
example, will hardly offer to introduce
two ladies to each other unless he
knows them both very well.-Woman's

Panther Is a Great Fighter.

ing he won't shirk. Near JubbulpoS
panther came down out of the foot
hills. crossed two miles of open coun-
try and entered a yard in which We're
half dozen goats. AS he was about
to spring upon one Of them an alarm
was raised. The beast entered shed
and hid himself behind some barrels.
Six soldiers under arms happened to
be passing, and they were called in to
shoot the intruder They stationed
themselves at the door and an open
window. and threw stones at the bar
rels. The panther realized that he
must fight. and out he came. A man
with sabre advanced and made II
cut at him, but the blow was avoided
and the soldier bitten in the hip. Then
two men with fixed bayonets rushed
in. BY his agility the panther eluded
their labs. and presently his teeth and
claws had placed both men out OF the
fight He could have gone then, but
he made no effort. The remaining
soldiers fired upon him, but he es-
capped their bullets, and springing up
on one he crushed him down, clawed
his shoulders and back I'm a terrible
manner, and then stood over the body
and growled defiance. Let alone for
n few minutes he galloped off"

Cot Their Mail at Sea.

The question as to whether the rich
man can get more out of life than the
man of moderate means has received
fresh illustration from the report of
a recent speculation on the Stock Ex-
change in which the son of the lead
ing Standard Oil magnate is said to
have cleared halt million of dollars.
If that is the best use to which this
favored youth can put his life and
talents, then his share ia this worlds
blessings is small indeed and he is
not to be envied observes the New
York World. If out of all the possible
opportunities offered him he appre-
ciates only the chance of becoming q
sordid gambler greedy grabber of
other peoples money-he is as poor
as II he needed his gains to live on.
Ii at the age of ambition and aspira-
ton, of generous sentiments and high
ideals, this young man sees in life
only chance of heaping up money
which he cannot spend and does not
know how rightly to use, his life is a
failure and his fortune not a distinc-
ton but degradation. Sad and
melancholy beyond expression is this
illustration of all that bonndless
wealth can do for the heir to one of
the greatest fortunes in the world.

In nineteen cases out of twenty, the
beachcomber of the Azores is sailor.
His occupation is considered legiti-
mate one. and every man Is in business
for himself, and has so much territory
which he can call his own. The fights
of each are as well defined and protect
ed as in mining camp. Efforts have
often been made by the authorities to
abolish beachcombing, or to take it
over to themselves; but every attempt
has stirred up rebellion. The man may
have beat Of five miles, or only of
one, according to the trend Of the coast.
AS rule he knocks up shanty Of
some sort about midway of his beat.
No capital is required to start in bust
ness, and unless the comber strikes
luck he is hungry and in rags the most
Of the time. While the men protect
one another to a certain extent, a
| Jumper Is certain to turn up about
so often. Then 1t is deadly fight be-
tween two desperate men. The one
who survives takes the beat. The body
of the one who is killed is not found
by the authorities. If comber makes
rich find his beat Is offered to the
highest bidder, but there are no pa
pers to be passed. The average life Of
a comber is only year. If he doesn't
hit 1t and retire by that time, he Is
pretty sure to be done for by jumper,
or to meet his death in the surf. AS in
the cases of brigands, the native pop
ulation stands in with tile shore hunt
ers, and whatever of value comes
ashore finds a safe hiding place until
1t can be realized on. The average
beachcomber has neither honesty nor
mercy in his heart, and to protect his
salvage will not hesitate to commit
murder.

To Breathe Systematically

The supplying of oxygen is not the
only function, although 1t Is the most
direct and vital one, of proper breath
ing. A very thorough expansion
Of the chest insures the proper filling
of the lungs with air, dilates all the
minute air cells, especially those at
the SUBMITS Of the lungs where mo-
ton Is least and where the seeds of
consumption are usually first planted,
and increases the circulation of the
blood throughout all parts of these or
gans.
Still another effect of proper breath
ing is identifying one. The chest is
brOadened, the shoulders are thrown
back, the figure is erect and the car
riage graceful.
Perfect breathing Is not natural to
most men and women of sedentary oc-
cupation and indoor life. Like ALI good
things, 1t must be worked for; and the
work must be persevered In until full
and deep respiration has become a
habit.
The means of attaining this object
are various and cannot he recounted
here; but they are all oased upon the
principle of removing permanently
every obstacle to the free entrance of
air into the lungs.-Youth's Com.
panion.
