Celebrated His Winning.

"You talk about your cold feet
I saw a couple the night of
Fiz-Ruhlin fight that gave me a
cold for a week." said a barkeep-
er in a La Sale street wet goods
house to a Chicago Chronicle
man.
"Did they give you lung troub-
le?" put in a customer.
"No, but they made me feel
like the ice man on a frosty morn
ing in Spitzbergen."
''That is cold. How did it come
about?"
"Well, you see we had a trick
in here and during the fight got
the rounds as they were pulled
off. Early during the game a
man drifted in here and took up
a position before the ticket. He
was seated and had his eyes glu-
ed to the ticker all the while.
"Whoop!" he yelled as the sixth
round was over. Give won
nearly IS, ,000, and he started for
the bar where he counted out his
betting tickets. In addition he
had several hundred dollars cash,
for which he had been unable to
find takers. d."
"What happened them" the
customer asked.
"He bought a glass of butter
milk and slipped out"
"Is that how you pay your
brewery bills, rent, light and in
surance?"
"Not on the money of a fellow
like that" and the bartender
countenance bespoke the disgust
that was within him.

Was Just Common Lying.

"The cunning Of the Chinese
has been very mnch eXaggerat-
ed, " said a former sea captain in
conversation the other day. 81
will never forget my own exper-
ience. We had arranged with a
prominent Chinese merchant at
Hong Kong for quantity of tea,
but at the last minute there was
a hitch about the delivery of the
consignment. He told me it had
been temporarily tied up by the
officials on account of some mis-
understanding about the internal
taxes. | discovered by accident
later on that the lot had been sold
over my head to a chance custo-
mer and the tax story was a mere
pretext to gain time for the sub
stitution of an inferior grade.
'The tea merchant was a Sc
date, courtly old gentleman, and
he had told me of the outrage
with perfect calmness, looking
me squarely in the face, without
a quiver. 1t never occurred to
me to doubt his word, and but for
chance we would have been heavy
losers. When l exposed him in
dignantly before all his employees
and several foreign residents |
supposed he would be ashamed
and disconnected. An American
of his standing would have been
humiliated and crushed beyond
measure. I have known men to
commit suicide for less disgrace,
bnt he never so much as blinked.
He heard me through blandly,
made no comment and began to
talk about something else. He
had told a lie, was caught, and
regarded the episode as closed. "

The Young Mans Manners.

Society asks little of a young
man except to behave well. If
he be manly in looks, if he has
good manners, is civil to his eld-
ers, if he has any little gift of en-
tertaining-any "parlor tricks"
if he sends few flowers oc-
casionally, looks pleasant and is
polite, his way will be smooth to
success-always providing that
he is gentleman.
He never joins her on a through
fare unless the friendship be an
established oneand then only with
her permission-nor will he stand
and converse with her.
1t is provincial to walk "sand-
wiched" between two women,
to stare, or look after any one who
has passed.
In public conveyance a man
does not pay a woman's fare un-
less he is her escort, except in an
emergency, when he must ask if
he may.
Introductions are rarely made
in public places or conveyances.
A man precedes a woman when
entering theater or public place.
In a church the lady goes first.
He may precede her up a public
staircase, but in a private house
in ascending and descending he
follows.
In picture-galleries, elevators
in public buildings, hotels and
theaters corridors, they being
thoroughfares, man retains his
hat. In a hotel he removes it if
women are present.
If a lady bows to a man in a
restaurant he rises slightly from
his seat in acknowledgment.
When he is with a party, if a lady
with her escort stops to speak to
his friends he rises and remains
standing until she passes on. He
also rises if a man is introduced
to him when with a stag party.
If a bachelor show some little
hospitality it advances him much
in favor. If he has attractive
rooms, or, has anything to
show he may give an afternoon
tea or a chafing-dish supper.
Simplicity is in order. A bach
elor's entertainment is usually
regarded in the light of frolic
and his efforts indulgently con-
sidered.
A bachelor may live where he
likes without loss of social posi-
ton, if he belong to one good club
which he may only use for the
address on his card and note
paper. er.-October Ladies' Home
Journal.

According to,Law.

The following is clipped from
Croke James "Curiosities of Law
and Lawyers" "If man were
to give to another an orange, he
would merely say, Il give you
this orange, but when the trans
action is intrusted to the hands
of a lawyer to put it in writing,
he adops this form: l, A. b., here
by give, grant, and convey to you
all and singular, my estate and
interest, right, title, claim and
advantage of and in the said or
ange, together with all it's rind,
skin, juice, pulp, and pips, and
all right and advantage therein,
with full power to bite, cut, suck
and otherwise eat the same, or
give the same away as fully and
effectually as 1, the said A. B.,

ing"
Nobody can complain that ad-
mission to either branch of the
legal profession is too easy. A
table of the results of the last
four preliminations at the Law
Institution shows that two-fifths
of the candidated failed. The re-
suits at the final examination
were not much better. At the
examinations in April, indeed, the
percentage of failures was nearly
fifty; as against seventy five can
didates who passed, there were
thirty-seven who failed. The
percentage of failures at the bar
final.examination is even greater
Whether this increased severity
will produce a better race of law
yers is question on which it is
pardonable to entertain some
doubt. Comparing the result
with the past, we apprehend that
any attempt to establish the su-
periority of the present genera
ton would not be unattended by
difficulty. Law Journal Gon-

9. A. Grissinger, of this place,
in company with his father, visit
ed the latter's brother Andrew,
aged 76, at McConnellsburg, the
beginning of this week. For
some thirteen months past the
latter gentleman has been a suf-
ferer from paralysis, his entire
left side being affected, so that
he has been unable to move or
help himself. On Friday last
during the temporary absence of
his wife, the invalid fell from a
lounge on which he had been
placed and the shock of the fall
must have partially restored
action in that portion of his body
affected by the paralysis, as af-
ter a number of spasmodic eff
forts he managed to rise to his
feet and dragging his affected
limb after him moved some ten
feet or more across the room to
an outside door, where he sue
ceeded in attracting his wife's at
tention, and since which time he
has made marked improvement.
Another singular result of the
fall is evidenced in his eyesight,
which has become exceedingly
strong, he being able now to
read fine print with the naked
eye, a task exceedingly difficult
heretofore with the aid of strong
glasses. Semi. Weekly News.

The game of golf was put down
by an act of parliament in Scot
land in 1841 as a nuisance. The
fines were inflicted on people who
were found guilty of playing the
game, for it interfered with the
practice of archery, as men pre-
fered welding the club to pulling
the bow.

How to Grow Thin.

the absurdity of signing over
growing old, but there are very
few women who are sufficiently
philosophical not to be a little
chagrined at the advance of years
showing itself plainly in face or
or figure. There would seem to
be two distinct types of American
women-those who grow stout as
they grow older, and those who
grow thin. 1t is all very
well to say that the face looks
better when it is plump than
when it is thin, but every pound
of additional avoirdupois certain.
ly adds to a woman's age in ap-
pearance from thirty-five to fifty
There are many physical reasons
which induce added flesh, and we
are told that the figure settles as
one grows older, but it is this
very settling that all women are
anxious to avoid, and there is
really no necessity for it what
ever.
Steady banting always has the
desire result, in so far as the re-
ducing of flesh is concerned; but
there are other results far from
satisfactory which are apt to ac-
company it, and very often i'll
health and irritable nerves are
the outcome of trying to grow
thin. The avoiding of starchy
food is a simple matter and by
not eating potatoes and bread
very often an astonishing differene
in weight is soon perceived. Ger
tain salts, which, however, should
never be taken except under the
orders of ones physician, will
sometimes start a disposition to
lose flesh, which if followed
with giving up potatoes and
bread will work marvellous re-
suits.
Incidence, one of the greatest
factors in increasing weight, lies
within the power of fashion now
to take exercise that there is no
excuse for being lazy. 1t is i'm
possible for some women to walk
a great deal, but a certain amount
of regular exercise will benefit
even the most delicate. Sitting
invariably produces fat, and fat
just where one does not want it
about the stomach and hips.
When one begins to lose flesh
and this can be ascertained by
begin weighed every week-a lit
tie massage will be found a great
help. The messeuse, if she un-
nerstand her business, will soon
be able to tell where the super
fuous flesh is, and will direct
her energies to the particular
place or places. Of course mas
sage is an expensive luxury, but
it is not a thing that needs to be
continued, and a few hours will
often work wondrous change.
For instance, one hour three
times a week for fortnight has
been known to reduce the size of
the waist half an inch. Standing
erect, with the hands pressed
well down on the hips, and then,
with the hands still kept on the
hips, bending the body forward,
backward and sideways several
times, twice day, will also work
off accumulated fat about the
hips and stomach. But this ex-
ercise must be consicientiously
persevered in.-Harper's Bazaar.

Tricks to Rest the Feet.

the summer time, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
Women who are vain of their
feet have a notion that the only
way to keep them little and grace
full is to use them little. There
never was a greater mistake.
They miss a world Of enjoyment
and healthful exercise because
they don't know. There are
women whose trade is to teach all
these women the trick of foot i'm
provement One of them tells
the whole story in this sentences:
''The trouble with woman's feet
is that she does not rest them
properly"
These feet that there's so much
worry about spread when there's
no necessity for their spreading.
Even society women, who do not
work, ride in carriages and are
coddled like dolls altogether,
suffer from enlargement of the
feet. At 90 they wear twos, at
30 they wear threes and at 40
fours. Their feet do not grow,
and they won't wear any more
Sensible" shoes than they once
did, but they have rested their
feet wrong. They haven't sup
ported them in time of trouble
and they have let the muscles
take wrong directions - false
ones. They are punished.
When a woman has tramped all
day in heeled shoes she is tired
across the ball of the foot and the
instep is sore to the touch. If
the foot is placed in hot water the
muscles of the instep appear to
soften. If the feet are then put
fiat upon the ground, the muscles
actually do fall, and the trim,
round foot is just so much lower
and broader than it was.
When the instep of the foot is
tired, the wearer should strip the
feet and clothe them in thin stock
ings. Upon her feet she should
place a slipper with a totally diff
ferent heel from the ones just
worn-higher or lower as the
case may be. She should then
lie down and rest the tired part
of the foot If the instep, she
can turn upon her face and spread
the foot out until the instep is
resting upon pillow for every
inch of the breadth. The foot is
then at ease. The muscles are
rested and strengthened and the
foot at the same time preserves
it's arch.
Women who walk much in the
summer complain of a broadening
of the feet. They struggle, amid
aches and unhappiness, against
the growing conviction that the
shoes are actually getting tight,
and the worst of it is they don't
get loose again in the fall. But
the foot doctor has a remedy for
all that. She says:
"When the heat of the day is
over, and before time to dress
for dinner, the visitor at any
country resort can slip away to
some cooling brook near by and
give the feet the spring treat
ment.' 1t is what we call the
Slenderlng process.
"Select a spot along the bank
where the water runs fastest.
Take off the shoes and stockings,
and, dipping each pink tip into
the water, allow the cool stream
to run over the feet as high as the
ankles. Be sure to point the toes
a little and move the ankles gent
ly in the water to make the fric-
ton of the water greater. Let
the cold stream flow over the
tired feet for an hour, hold them
in the sun for Is minutes, dress
and go back to your boarding
place ready to dance all the even
ing in the smallest party slippers
in your summer wardrobe.
