Funeral Representatixe.

Busy men have no time for attend ing ordinary funerals, therefore it is now become the fad to send seere. taries and office boys to pay the final tribute of respect to friendship.

Some mu- tual aequaintanees, talking about the funeral a few days later. expressed surprise that neither Blank nor Thank, both intimate friends of the deceased, was present, and were still more surprised to learn that the firms office boy did the honors by special appointment.-N.

The Morphia Victim.

Even the Arab does not lie so per sistently as does the morphia victim. All sense of honor deserts her. Whereas perhaps formerly she was scrupulous in money matters, she rap idly becomes little less than a thief. If she is hard up, in order to buy drugs she will invent the most elaborate and plausible stories and screw money out of the unsuspeeting. There is no doubt whatever that drug-taking is enormously on the increase. No one who has ever witnessed the rapid de- terioration, both in appearance and in character, which inevitably follow from it can hesitate to call it one oi the most frightful curses of modern days.-London Queen.

THE CHARM OF YOUTH.
Young Woman Can Afford to Re Careless in Her Treatment
 of the World.

There is a charm in youth and hap piness that carries a certain amount of thoughtlessness for a time. Yet this charm is only passing one, and soon fails to win considera kon Il it is not accompanied by q SFaih Jig nity of poise and wisdom hnd tac,, which youth as well as 4 may pos -sess. The old saying, "@uty is only skin deep" is daily pr&d by the SUI. iperior charm which knuine beauty of character exerts the most triv- ial minded of indivAhals.
 No young womH can afford to be bluff and careless h her treatment of the world. In 6e old days of the colonial times, .nual work was more necessary than exact culture, but they have passed.

Women did not have time to be properly educated Their energies were limited to their homes. All this is changed, says the New York Tribune.
 The world demands of anyone who would reap its rewards of success c great deal of intelligence, and also unselfshness. It demands good man, ners, which have their root in un- selfshness and thought for others. A wise young woman who expects to succeed in any vocation does not eX- peet any consideration because oi her "thoughtless" youth. She aims to be thoughtful and considerate as we'll as helpful. A girl who is called to enter family as companion, governess, or even as serving maid may be so tactful and thoughtful that she is invaluable or she may be so thoughtless that everyone in the house is relieved when she takes her departure.
 One of the greatest elements of success which young woman can possess is the power of effacing her own personality in her work so quick. ly and so well that the worker is for gotten in the perfection of her work, The aid her helpful hand has given.
