In Paris a gentleman who is very
fond Of fine paintings bought for $4,000
francs a work entitled The Bride of
Abydos" and was congratulating him
self on becoming its possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money In this manner.
~How can l avoid a scene" he asked
himself 'If l say that the painting
se1t 1900 francs, there will be an
awful time, and so I'd better say 1000.
No; I'll say 1000"
BY this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
a 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 a weeks absence
his wife met him with beaming coun-
tenance and said: "I've done a good
stroke of business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 1900 francs? Well. sold
1t yesterday for 4,500, clear profit OF
1900 francs"

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 university,
however. we do not think there can be
two opinions. 1t must do good, and 1t
has not the opportunity of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay them
selves open to receive 1t. 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 1t usu-
ally gets there in the end with salts
factory consequences. The personal
remark may be rude, but rudeness Is
often very salutary weapon. 1t Is
certainly one of the most valuable In
struments of English education. In
deed 1t may seem a strange thing to
say, but 1t Is surely true that contin-
ued experience Of calculated, formu-
larized and well intentioned rudeness
teaches people to be polite.-London
Spectator.

Waited For n Yayvn.

Two young fellows recently went
out on shooting expedition, driving
to their destination in a trap. They
had excellent sport, and toward night
fall they returned to where they had
hobbled their horse and were proceed
Ing to hitch up when they discovered
that neither of them knew the way to
do it. In about an hour they had most
of the harness on; but, try as they
would, they could not get the bit into
the horses mouth. At last one of them
sat down in despair, and his compan-
ion said:
We'll, Tom, and what are you going
to do now?"
I'm going to wait till that brute
yawns," was the reply. And they did.

ST. .Inhn,a Eve.

Curious and quaint beliefs still pre-
vail in some parts of England concern
ing st. WINS eve. Lassies still place
their shoes before retiring for the
night, at right angles, forming T, re-
citing the lines:
Hoping this night my true love to see
i place my shoes In the form of T,
under the idea that their future hus-
band will be revealed to them in
dreams. Formerly supper was placed
on the table with the belief that the
future husband would enter by the
open door. There is, too, prevalent
idea that especially fortunate are the
children born on st. Johns eve, the
rhyme running:
Under the stars on the eve of st. John
Lucky the babe that those stars shine on.
