GATHERING IFS RULES.

The rules. inscribed on a tablet now
in the Hermitage, the famous st. Pc
tersburg Museum of Art are as fol-
lows:
/. Leave your rank outside as well
as your hat and sword.
II. Leave your right of precedence,
your pride and any similar feeling out
side the door.
( III. Be gay. but do not spoil or gnaw
anything.
w. Sit, stand, walk as you will,
without reference to anybody.
V. Talk moderately, not loud. so as
not to make the heads or ears ofothers
ache
VI. Argue without anger and with
out excitement.
VII. Neither sigh nor yawn, nor
make any one feel dull or heavy.
VIII. In all innocent games, what
ever one proposes, let all join.
N Eat whatever is sweet and savo-
nv, but drink with moderation, so that
each may find his legs on leaving the
room.
X. Tell no tales out of school. What
ever goes in at one ear must go out at
the other before leaving the room
Whoever offends against rule x shall
never again be admitted.
Our grande dame will call these rules
her Ten Commandments.

Theme is known to most people as
the active principle Of tea or that sub
stance which confers upon the cup its
cheering and stimulating properties.
Caffeine Is the analogous principle of
coffee, although this latter substance
also occurs in tea. Some investiga-
tons into the development of theme
shows that 1t is in the skin or covering
Of the leaves of the plant in their
young state that the active principle is
best developed. I have always been
given to understand that the young
shoots thus amply provided with
theme and representing the finest of
the crop are sent to Russia, where
they fetch a high price
What we get in England is presuma-
bly, the older leaf, with, should say,
less theme and a deal more tannin.
1t would be interesting to know what
proportions of theme and tannin ex-
list in some of the cheap teas that are
so largely consumed by the British
public. Theme itself is nerve stimu-
liant of undoubted power. but the guam
tity we get in our cups is, of course. in
finitesimal Sometimes, should say,
it is so microscopic in amount as to
render it doubtful whether we can be
cheered at all by the tea tray festiyi-
ties. London Chronicle.

D., L. & w. RAILROAD.

The Easy Steward and the Auda-
cious "Grafter."
A man walked into one OF the up
town college clubs one morning and sat
down in the smoking room. His air of
assurance was hardly in accord with
his tattered clothes. 1t was early, and
none of the members was about. He
rang the bell, and the steward re-
sponded.
ut seems good to get back into the
club again." he remarked.
YES sir" said the steward.
II used to be member here, but I've
had hard luck and can't afford 1t any
longer"
YES, sir; I'm sorry. SIR said the
steward
"By the way, I'm little short of car
fare this morning" said the nervy
stranger. "Could you let me have ten
cents until call here againT
The surprised steward reached into
his pocket and handed out dime.
"Thank you" said the man. Now
I'm also little hungry, having had no
DIGtlh ldSl no yOu puppOpC yOu NOu4u
gather me up little luncheon|
The steward was stupefied by such
display of nerve.
"And a little whisky with dash of
bitters would not go badly with the
food"
The steward fled as one of the mem
bers entered The stranger saw the
new arrival and rose hastily.
81 am too early for my friend" he
said as he walked toward the door
81 will return later" Then he added
in an undertone, which the doorboy
heard 'Too bad, too bad! That stew
ard was easy He'd given me the club
If I'd asked for it. It's wonder those
members wouldn't stay away" The
man of nerve walked down the street
with his head bowed in deep thought
''How to get that luncheon without
paying for it, was his theme.-New

can't see for the life Of me. why people should
be good
And always try to do the things the Bible says
they should
My ma she's always tellin' me that il I'm wick
ed
Won't never have harp to twang nor live up in
the sky;
But Uncle William died last month"; and, oh, he
used TO sweari
And il he ever went to church, why, no one saw
him there;
Still, when they had the funeral and when the
preacher prayed
He spoke about the golden harp that Uncle viii
liam played.
And then he told us how
Contented Uncle william is,
Up there with those white wings OF his,
Cause he's in heaven now.
Pa used to tell US all about the way old Briggs
would cheat
And gouge the poor and take the shoes right off
the orphans feet;
He wouldn't pay his taxes, and he took the Wild
owls mite
At least heard pa telling he took the mite
all right
But when they had the funeral the church was
crowded and
The preacher said he'd gone away to join the
angel band;
He trembled when he spoke about "the one
who'd gone before
To live in everlasting bliss upon that shining
Shore"
And then he told us how
Contented the old skinhint is
With that nice golden harp Of his,
Cause he's in heaven now.
