How a Woman Choose. Her Seat.


There are lots of things about wo-
men that can't be explained, and in
our business we can't help noticing
them" said the communicative con-
ductor. For instance, nine women
out of ten will invariably take seat
on the right hand side of car, If a car
is not crowded. I have often wondered
at this, and at last think have the
correct solution. I started out from
the barn with an empty car the other
day. and in five blocks had picked up
seven women, and they all sat in a row
on the right-hand side of the car. It
was just about the hour in the morn
Ing when the women come down town
to do their shopping. Three men got
in. and they sat on the left-hand side.
IA couple Of blocks farther down I
picked up another woman, and, instead
Of taking a vacant seat near the door
on the side. the side the other women
were sitting, as thought she would
do, she walked the entire length of the
car and sat down beside one of the
men. This bit of eccentricity puzzled
me until went to collect her fare, and
then l discovered that ,she was left
handed. See? All the other women
were right-handed. Yes; it does look
like rain, doesn't t?'-Philadelphia

Saved the Little Bottles,

" have a patient who is wonder

a prominent physician lately. ga few
weeks ago he had malaria, and I pre-
scribed quinine for him, giving him
four-grain capsules, so that he might
take the drug without discomfort. He
came out of his attack and few days
later called to see me at my Office.
Judge of my surprise when he exhibit,
ed the empty capsules and said, Doc
tor, thought you might like the little
bottles, so I saved them and brought
them back He had emptied each four
grain dose of the bitter powder, and
then essayed the rather hopeless task
of washing it down with water: 1
couldn't do otherwise than to take the
little bottles from him without a word
and next time I'll give him quinine
in another form. '-Philadelphia Pub

SOUVENIR CUPS LATEST.
Made of New Metal and In Many
Fantastic Shapes.

Made of New Metal and In Many
Fantastic Shapes.
One of the latest fads to show itself
In the jewelry trade is the souvenir
cup of metal. This article, says the
jewelers. Weekly, is already popular
in some sections of the United States.
The souvenir spoon fad had it's origin
in Washington, D. c., and so, too, the
souvenir cup in it's present form, seems
to have first appeared in that city a
few months ago. 1t has now extended
to other cities. In Washington the
cups became fad because that is a
great tourist center. So far these cups
have all been made to order in Ger
many and imported by one or two
New York firms, who calm to have
control, for this country, of all manu-
features of the metal employed in this
form. But if the demand expands and
develops into general fad there is
every reason to expect American
manufacturers to enter into COMPETE
ton with he German houses that now
have the monopoly. The metal used
is the new Kayser linn metal, which
has come into demand lately for vari
GUS uses, and the cups are sold either
in their natural condition or silver
plate inside and outside, or silver plate
outside and gold lined. The popular
shape is that of white tumbler three
and a half inches high by two and
three-eighths inches in diameter at
the top and one and five-eighths
inches at the bottom. There are other
more fancy shapes, such as a small
German beer stein and a small thin
goblet eight or nine inches high. On
the sides are local designs which give
the cups their souvenir significance.
