In Hyde Park lives a young matron
who is of such high nervous tempera-
ment that il she drinks the very small
est amount Of alcoholic stimuIant be-
fore going to bed the result Is sleepless-
ness for the remainder Of the night.
Some nights ago a number of friends
dropped In for the evening, and the
husband, who, by the way. is a south
erner, suggested that be make q mint
tulep for each Of the company. The
suggestion was received with delight,
and the 1uleps were promptly mixed.
In his wife's glass, however, he put
only enough whisky to favor the
water. probably not more than q tea
spoonful. or this she slipped about
half. The result, however. was the
same. She was troubled with insomnia
all night long, and 1t was not until
o'clock in the morning that she drop
ped off to sleep and. as a conse-
quence, was not called for breakfast
At 10 o'clock she came down stairs
and hearing the voices of children on
the front porch stopped to listen Her
heart filed with mOtherly pride as she
heard her elder son. boy Of o, telling
seven or eight children from the neigh
borhood that they must not make too
much noise as his mamma was asleep.
Imagine her horror. too. as the young
hopeful added:
she drank SO much whisky last
night that she couldn't come down to
breakfast this morning."-Kansas City

II there be one thing that l more than
another admire it is the having ones
wits about one-perhaps because l never
had mine. To be possessed only of
resprit d'escaliers is simply an aggrava-
ton.
AS illustrative of ready witted men
recall an incident that l have often told.
but never published. Let me do that
now in justice to one that is gone.
In company with the late J. R. Osgood
l once of an evening dropped in at Wal
lacks old theater. We could get no
seats, as there was standing room only.
AT the end of the first act two orchestra
seats were vacant in front. and we walk
ed down and took them. Barely were
we seated when two gentlemanly look
ing young men came down the aisle and
addressed ME.
Beg pardon. but have you checks for
those seats%

good replied: mo. Have your"
They hadn't. 1t was merely a bit of
supreme bluff. But how few would have

A swan.

May Of Punch about his youth.
You seem pretty well contented with

of man who knows what unhappiness

with his odd little chuckle. "Let me tell
you a very short and very true story.
Not half dozen blocks from where we
are sitting ! met a youngster one day
with a big slice of bacon between two
slices of bread in his hands 1 was car

HAIR AND CHARACTER.
Some of the Things q Barber Claims
to Have Noticed.

to Have Noticed.
Did you ever notice that people Of
very violent temper have always close
growing hair? 1t is a fact that every
man having close growing hair is the
owner of q decidedly bad temper. 1t is
easy enough for me to note at q glance
how a mans hair grows. Then know
how to handle him.
Men of strong temper are generally
vigorous, but at the same time they are
not always fixed in their opinions. Now,
the man with coarse hair is rooted to
his prejudices. Coarse hair denotes OBJ
stinacy. It is not good business policy TO
oppose q man whose hair is coarse. The
eccentric man has always fine hair, and
you never saw a man Of erratic tenden-
cies who at the same time had a sound
mind who was not refined in his tastes.
Fair hair indicates refinement. You
may have noticed that men engaged in
intellectual or especially in aesthetic pur-
suits, where delicacy Is required. have
invariably fine, luxuriant hair and boards.
The same men, as a class. particularly
painters, are always remarkable for their
personal peculiarities.
The brilliant, sprightly fellow has gen.
orally a curly beard. If not. his hair is
curly. It's easy to bring smile to the
face of the man whose hair is curly. He
laughs where colder natures see nothing
to laugh at.
There is d great difference between
coarse hair and hair that is harsh.
though 1t requires an expert to distin-
guish 1t. For example, a mans mustache
may be as fine as silk and yet cannot be
trained to grow into a graceful curve.
That's because the hair is harsh. Now.
people whose hair is harsh have amiable
but cold natures. They are always ready
to listen, but it is difficult to arouse their
feelings. In men of this disposition the
hair of their heads is generally-in fact.
almost always-of a shade darker than
their boards. When the beard is full.
covering the entire face. the color varies
from a dark shade near the roots to red.
which colors the ends of the hair. These
men have very rarely good memory.
They forget easily and often leave a cane
or an overcoat behind them in the barber
shop. They are great procrastinators and
are bad at keeping appointments.
Think over your acquaintances and
see IL the man who is habitually slow has
not a mustache or beard of a lighter
shade than his hair. It's always the
case. These are the men who come in
late at the theater and get to the station
just in time to miss the train.-Scottish
American.
