He was six feet tall if he was an
inch, and the shoulders of the girl at
his side were on level with his own.
1t was plain that they didn't belong to
Kansas City, and as they came into
the county court house in an awkward,
hesitating way, with many glances at
the lofty ceilings and broad staircases,
the loungers in the corridor put them
down for Pike County. They had just
been married.; that much was learned
later, and they We're taking in the
sights of the city before returning to
the country. After satisfying their
curiosity regarding the first floor of
the court house the pair decided to risk
Il ride in the elevator. Approaching
the cage, they scrutlnized every part
of it carefully and, entering the car,
the man said to Andy OHare, the con-
ductor, "When dye start?'
O'Ilare nearly fell off his stool with
surprise, but said, as he sized up the
visitors: I'VE start now," and slam
ming the door of the elevator he pulled
over the lever and the car shot upward
with twice its usual speed. In fact,
so quickly did the car ascend that the
bride fell to the floor. and clasping the
knees of her husband, cried loudly: Il
amt ready yet! l amt readyw
They We're the most surprised bridal
couple that ever came up the road, and
when they had reached the fourth floor
the groom turned to OHare and in
quired, How much do l owe you?"

THE HALL OF WASTED THINGS.

At the Castle Of Mems Sorrows, in the
Hall of Wasted Things,
Are broken old betrothals, and old be-
trothal rings,
And long-forgotten kisses, and old letters
never sent,
And heartstrings of young lovers that
faithess ones have rent,
And long-since burnt-out passions, and
the fires of wasted loves,
And cast-off maiden's ringlets, and pairs
of maden's gloves,
And smiles that men have treasured, and
sweet glances gone astray,
And broken words of lovers, and hours of
many day.
Now with these I'd fain deposit some few
things of my own
Some paltry, wasted triAes that some one
has outErown:
This tiny, battered locket, and this bit of
gem-set gold,
And the love I've left unspoken, and the
love | may have told
May they lie and be forgotten, where the
gray-robed angel sings
The Angel of Oblivion, in the Hall of
Wasted Things.

Here Is what one Chinaman says in
the North China Daily News about
"Corsets Against Small Shoes:
What is the use Of binding the feet /?
1t is of the same use as Tightening the
waist among you Europeans. Do you
tighten the waist for comfort? No. Is
it to make you look taller or shorter
No. Then what is it for? 1t is for
beauty. 1t is to catch the eyes of men.
So Is foot binding. They are both for
the benefit Of men. Foot binding does
not do as much harm as waist tight
ening.
when so many of your men have
written against the harm of waist
tightening and not succeeded, how car
few Of your women think to put a
stop to our ancient custom? You have
many medical women. Why do they
not loosen their waists before they ask
our women to loosen their feet? Your
enlightened Christian women should
begin at home by forming an anti-waist
tightening society; then we Chinese
may follow your example,

More fashionable than taffeta or vel
vet just now is the fine flannel shirt
waist. The empire touch of gold is
desirable in small quantities, but the
difficulty is not to overdo it. A little
goes a great way. One is surprised by
the variety of weaves and colorings and
widths in gold tissue.
One gold tissue band is patterned at
intervals with very small polka dot
Of black velvet. Another piece of gold
shows the little Louis Quinze bow-knot
In black velvet. A fleur de lys, also in
black velvet, studs the surface of gold
ribbon at intervals. Only one figure is
used in row, no matter how wide the
gold ribbon may be. This looks better
than If the entire surface was spotted
into patterns.

Listen" said John, rapidly. "The

to this must not be a cause of disunion
between us. Let her choose which one

"All right" said the other, that is
quite fair.
Lille entered, took the two men by

chair between them, said:

= certain type of women will be glad
to hear that the "girly" girl appears
to be coming again to the fore, and
that there is quite demand for the
old article, the rgandie-gowned, CO.
Quettish beauty who does not golf, or
play tennis, or shoot, or sail a boat
who wears beautiful clothes all
ilounced and frilled even in the day

form Of exercise being to take a ride
every day on snowy but gentle hack
clad in perfectly fitting London habit,
although it would seem more appro-
pirate to her style to wear the flowing
skirt and plumed hat of her prototype
Of fifty years ago. 1t is very obvious
that they feel it pleasant change
after the good comradeship that has for
the last dozen years marked their in
tercourse with the fair sex. They like
the soft beauty's eXactions, her little
ways and pretty tyrannies; they enjoy
feeling, oh, so strong, beside her
avowed weakness; they like to listen to
her artless batteries and bask in her
admiration of their prowess. With
such one they feel that they have re-
gained their ascendancy, that they
once more are lords Of creation. What
wonder, such being the case, that GER

this out, and that they have been the
first to profit by this possible change in

The Murder of Sleep,

The question Of city noises has come
to the front of late and an endeavor
has been made to restrain and regulate
them in some degree, but there has
been good deal of Straining at the
gnat and swallowing the camel in the
matter. Organ-grinders and street
hawkers are doubtless nuisance
sometimes, but their operations are a
mere trite compared with other noises
that we have to endure, and, moreover,
the disturbance they make is usually
confined to the hours of daylight.
When preventable noises invade the
hours of sleep, the matter becomes
more serious; for, in this busy, harass.
ing life, sound rest at night is an es-
sential to the maintenance of the
working powers.
One of the most alarming concomi.
tants of modern civilization is the in
creasing prevalence of lunacy and
other nervous diseases. The cause is
doubtless to be found in the hurried,
anxious lives that we lead, in the in
tensity of our studies, the fierce COM
petition in business and the general
difficulties of life with most of us.
How many breadwinners, whether
professional men, business men, arti-
sans or factory girls, return to their
homes day after day utterly exhausted
by their continuous labors! To such,
undisturbed sleep is the best of all
tonics bur this is often difficult To oh
tain, and its deficiency means impaired
health, or even complete breakdown.
The contrast between the health and
development of the agricultural labor
