THE END OF THE BEAU.

Beau Nash, like Beau Fielding and Beau Brummel, was to expiate his con- temptible vanity in an old age of ob- scurity, want and misery As he grew lod he grew insolvent, and seemed in- sensible to the pain he gave to others by his coarse repartees. He was no longer the gay, thoughtless, idly-indus- trious creature he once was The even- ing of his life grew cloudy, nothing but poverty lay in the prospect before him. Abandoned by the great, whom he had so long served he was obliged to fly to those of humber stations for protec- tion, and began to need that charity which he had never refused to any, and learn that a life of gayety finds an in evitabe end in misery and regret. It was said that MT. Quin, the actor, tried to suprlant him as master of ceremo- nies, which Nash believed, and he grew ruder and testier. There is evidence that there was ground for this suspi- cion in letters of Quin written from Bath, in which he says, "Old Beaux Knash had mead himself so disagreea- ble to all the company"
 A new generation sprung up to which Nash was stranger; his splendor gradually waned. Neglect filled him with bitterness and he lost thereby the remainder of his popularity. His in come now became very precarious, so that the corporation voted him an al- lowance of ten guineas. to be paid to him on the first Monday in each month. He. long occupied a house known as osoI by Mrs Delaney, but he died in a smaller one near by--Nineteenth Gen. tury.

 he is at table His meal over he calls for his bill, and, gathering up all the change over and above the amount, place the volume in it's stead. This Is considered the walters perquisite, and very good one it sometimes is, fetch ing as much as three or four shillings at a second hand dealers. Occasion ally, however, it is but a paper covered novel and is practically worthless.
 Tt is now some years since one of our regular diners died. I always thought him a stingy gent in the mat ter of tips, for instead of springing his tips as others did he would hand over dozen or more foreign postage stamps Fortunately had the sense to put them aside, for only last year I showed my collection, numbering a couple of thousands or more, to a friend who had some knowledge of their value, with the result that made something over $250
 But the most singular customer l ever had was gentleman who used to bring his own knife, fork and spoon. He had great terror of germs, SUD- pose. Anyway, he not only refused to use the articles provided by the res taurant, but would not eat with his own second time. When he had finished he would hand them over to me with the the remark that it was against his principles to pay a waiter for doing what was only his duty but that if cared to have hos knife, fork and spoon for his part he recommended their instant destructon-I was at liberty to have them. As the articles were always of good quality, took them, and they proved a very handsome tip indeed.-Tit-Bits

The London Pail Mall Gazette'a
Paris correspondent writes: "A mo-
mentous decision-in appearance-has
been taken by the chamber in a casual
kind Of way. The manufacture and
sale of absinthe and the other decoc-
tons that go by the name OF appetite
ers are to be forbidden in France. Such,
at any rate, Is the purport of an
amendment tackled on to the Drink
bill that has just been voted. The
government is invited to issue a de-
cree tabooing all drink of which the
consumption, IL the opinion of the
Academy Of Medicine, Ii a danger to
the public health. The realization OF
this revolutionary measure. Of which
the author was. very fittingly, a So
%cialist. is, of course, impracticable. The
government will quietly ignore the In
vitation they have received, and the
chamber will have sufficient sense to
forget its bootless vote. Not, indeed,
that there is not much to be said for
the measure in itself, but to suppress
the practice of drinking aperitifs by a
stroke Of the pen is as feasible as 1t
wouHl be to abolish smoking by royal
proclamation. During the past
twenty years the habit has attained to
appalling proportions In France. 1t Is
calculated that In Paris alone some
COO, 900 persons consider t impossible
to dine until after they have swallowed
a so-called appetizer. Many people in
dulge in the habit before lunch as we'll
as before dinner, and needless to say
that the number OF those who are not
content with a single drink is legion.
The consumption of aperitifs in Paris
after increasing for many years at the
rate of 10000 hectolitres a year, has OF
late gone up by leaps and bounds. and
the annual Increase Is now 20, 900 hec-
tolftres. There are no two opinions
as to the fact that these aperitifs,
among which absinthe is no worse than
the many varieties Of bitters, represent
the very direst form of alcoholic pol
soning. The healthiest persons can
not swallow these lethal decoctions
with impunity; they are a sure cause
OF nervous disease and physical degen-
Grafton. The ravages they are causing
In France are universally recognized.
A serious effort to grapple with the
evil Is assuredly imperative;. unhap-
PLY, the vote Of the Chamber is not
serious"

MISSION OF TONGUE
Art In Literature and Beauty of Ex-
preston.

Art IN IIteFnLuf6 anu ocauty VI Gx-
preston.
Literature is art. 1t is art whose
crude material is language, as the
sc%ulptor's material Is marble, or as the
potter's is clay. Its mission in the first
place is so to shape its material that
form and beauty may emerge. The day
has not passed wherein the grace OF
words fifty spoken has power to quick
en- and inspire human life, nor has
Spencer's dictum. For pleasing words
are like the magic art" lost in reality
any Of its value, despitet the chroni-
cler, the intelligencer and all the apos-
ties of the matter of fact. 1t cannot be
denied, however, that a practical age
has had its effect. Men certainly do
hesitate frankly to confess that in their
own usage language is used as an
artistic material and subjected to ar
tistic treatment. There is apparently
a feeling that the confession would
involve something demeaning to the
content of thought. Rhetoric is in bad
odor-ehiehy the name. In the schools
they try to hide it under the name of
English" There never was, however,
in all the days of our civilization, a
more widespread and certain demand
for what is called good English" or
a more perfect appreciation of what is
said to be well written" Rhetoric
as a name has fallen into discredit. be-
cause 1t has come to be associated with
tinseled phrase and empty words. But
this is no rebuff to the art. Every ma
terial OF the arts, from ivory to wood,
has sometime been misused as tinsel.
The empty display Of material is not
art; 1t is child's play.-Atlantic

base Is made with two stone pinnacles
of the church as 1t was built fifty
years G and removed in the course

TRAINS
O. L. ricksrd's Methods of Handling
Track Riders.

Track Riders.
There is probably no other cycle rid
er today who Is SO versatile as Is ..
L. Pickard, trainer OF Johnnie Nelson
and Johnnie Lake, now team mates.
Pickard rides in the races, trains hr
men, attends to the motors, and builds
training quarters or cycle tracks with
equal facility. In his position he at
tends to everything, from cutting down
a motor frame to wiring a motorcycle
complete, or building a new bicycle. He
rides the motor, either on he front or
rear seat He knows the cycle and
the motor tandem, as he knows every
thing else, thoroughly. His work was
responsible for much of the SUCCESS oil
Nelson during the past season, for he
attends to every detail, and allows
nothing to go undone. Many have called
Nelson lucky in winning several hard
races, forgetting that II was the Iact
that a second motor was always Kept
ready and waiting to pick HIM up, or
that a second wheel was always I'M
der the hands of this trainer, and ready
to be rushed to him at any point
around the track. In five races Mel
son punctured, but he won all hve
contests. His extra wheel was not in
the dressing at such times, I'M
der lock and key, but was waiting for
him at the point where he dismouated.
That was not good luck, certainly. The
extra motor for Nelson was not on the
stand, and cool, but was circiing the
track, and at all times the riders were
watching Pickard for a signal, under
instructions from him. The fact that
they picked up their men SO quickly
and neatly, was not good luck. A
man of the caliber of Pickard is hard
to find, and when a rider has found
him he Is certain that unless in the
hardest kind of luck he will have an
ever break for the money.-Chlcago

The Holland Submarine Boat.

All cur readers are familiar with the Holland submarine boat, with which it is possible to go about completely under water. If the enemy have a big war ship lying in a strongly fortified harbCr the boat can be submerged and make its way to the ship. place q powerful explosive under it and blow it to pieces without appearing above water. While this beat secretly destroys ships of the enemy, Hcstetter's Stomach Bitters likewise attacks and overcomes dan gerous diseases. A few doses will give relief in any stomach, liver CT blood disorder. The Bitters not only cure the sick, but prevent the well from be- coming sick. It should be taken by all who need a strengthening tonic.

FI;CII Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work necessarily with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands Of business. the wants Of the family. the requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect Of the praiseworthy effort to. .keep up with all these things is commonly seen in d weakened or facilitated condition of the nervous system, which results in dyspepsia. defective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases in complete nervous prCstration. It Is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves and keep the di- gestive and assimilative functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla fer this purpose. It acts on all the vital organs, builds up the whole system. and fits men and women for these high pressure days.
