When Abroad, Speak English.

The English speaking tourist who
wastes half an hour of time, temper
and energy in trying to make some
dweller in foreign land understand
his bad French or Spanish only to be
shocked at length by some such a cues
ton as Cant you speak English?' is
almost as common nowadays as the
track walking tragedian. This is lit
tie story of his experience in Spain. as
told by ''The Dominic" in The Ladies'
Home Journal:
sOne day we all entered little shop
in Madrid, and the captain began to
speak in Spanish to the girl who was
behind the counter. She failed to IN
derstand, and so he tried again. Once
and again he tried and tried and sum-
moned up his whole vocabulary. At
last in his attempt to make his mean
ing plain by illustration he drew from
his pocketcase card and with it strok-
ed his chin. The girl fell into fits Of
laughter and in perfect English said,
'Oh, what you want is a fine tooth
comb"

How She Made a Profit.

In Paris a gentleman who is very
fond of fine paintings bought for $4,000
francs work entitled "The Bride Of
Abydos' and was congratulating him
self on becoming it's possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money in this manner.
s'How can avoid a scene?" he asked
himself. '.If l say that the painting
cost $4,000 francs, there will be an
awful time, and so I'd better say 1000.
No; I'll say 400O."
By this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
q beautiful work Of art for the nomi
nal sum of 5000 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased, but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up.
Next day the gentleman was obliged
to go to the south of France, and when
he returned after weeks absence
his wife met him with a beaming cOun-
tenance and said: 1--WE done a good
stroke of business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 5000 francs? Well sold
it yesterday for 4,500 a clear profit Of
1900 francs!

Vanilla For Mental Weakness

Vanilla is one Of the most powerful
restOratives known in cases of weak
ened vitality, when a large dose is Civ
en-. South America in general shows a
much slighter tendency to madness
than any Of the countries which may
be called civilized. Statistical authori-
ties attribute this fact to the ignorance
and thoughtlessness of the population,
but they themselves give the credit to
vanilla At the first sign of mental dis
turbance they ply the sufferer there

Birds Made a Sieve.

In the mountains of Tennessee a
stranger came upon a man who was
shoveling coal upon wooden sieve.
Upon inquiry how on earth he got such

Shifting the ResDonsibiIity.

An Irishman who traded in small

he visited the different villages. On
one occasion he came to bridge where

He found to his disappointment ne

A bright thought struck him. He I'M
harnessed the donkey and put it into
the cart. Then. getting between the
shafts himself, he pulled the cart with
the donkey standing in it on to the
bridge.
In due course he was hailed by the
toll collector.
"Hey, man. cried the latter
"Whaur's your toll?'
"Begorra," said the Irishman, "just

Hard Lessons In Good Manners.

School chaff is wholesome in most
cases, but it may cramp what should
not be cramped. AS to the chaff which
a man gives and gets at a university,
however, we do not think there can be
two opinions. 1t must do good, and it
has not the opportunity Of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay them
selves open to receive it. The quiet
man who wishes to read or to think
apart need hardly ever come into con-
tact with his fellows unless he so
chooses. The staggering or bump
tiOus man, the opinionated man, the
offensive man-these are certain to be
chaffed, and the chaff usually goes
home; not at once perhaps, but it usu-
ally gets there in the end with salts
factory consequences. The personal
remark may be rude, but rudeness is
often a very salutary weapon. 1t is
certainly one of the most valuable in
struments of English education. In
deed it may seem a strange thing to
say, but it is surely true that contin-
ued experience of calculated, fOrmu-
larized and we'll intentioned rudeness
teaches people to be polite.-London

A Roman Dinner.

A Roman dinner at the house Of a
wealthy man consisted chiefly of three
courses All sorts of stimulants to the
appetite were first served up, and eggs
were indispensable to the first course.
Among the various dishes we may in
stance the guinea hen, pheasant, night
ingale and the thrush as birds most in
repute. The Roman gourmands held
peacocks in great estimation, especial
ly their tongues. Macrobius states
that they were first eaten by Horton
sius, the orator, and acquired such re-
pute that single peacock was sold
for SO denarii, the denarius being equal
to about eightpence halfpenny of our
mOney.-Chambers Journal.

ThOuEhtlesS. Selfish.

Thoughtlessness of others is nothing
more than downright selfishness, which
is the curse Of humanity. The man
who On leaving an elevated train
pauses at the head Of the stairs to
light his cigar is selfish. He incom-
modes all who are behind him. The
woman who insists on passing up or
down the stairs ahead Of the eager
crowd, slowly, Indifferent to the haste
of others, must be an awful thing at
home. He who pauses to tie his shoe
regardless Of the interruption of traffic
is brute in his family. see all these
things dozen times a day and wonder
what kind of l''es such persons lead in
the family circle. One Of the common
evidences Of thoughtlessness is seen in
those who stand in the middle OF the
sidewalk to chat while mu!titudes are
forced to defect or make an offset in
order to pass them. The more see of
men the greater is my respect for
asses, dogs and mules.-New York
