A MEAN REVENGE.

A story told in the Washington
Star about a paying teller in one of
the banks of that city and a George
town belle, shows how man failed
to gain victory over himself because
to his moral palate revenge was sweet.
He is favorite in the set in which
the Georgetown girl moves. He and
she had words-so many words, in
fact, that the girl, who is said to have
more than bit of temper, ordered
him never to presume to speak to her
again as long as he lived. She for
bade him to recognize her, even, and
said that she would make it point
to forget that she had ever met him.
The other day she went to the
bank in which he is employed to have
a check cashed. The blond young
man appeared at the window. He
took the check and examined it care
fully. 1t was broiling hot day.
The Georgetown girl was in a hurry:
She hadn't an acquaintane within half
an hours walk. The young man
handed the check back.
every sorry, madam" said he,
"but you'll have to get somebody to
identify you before I can cash the
check"

SECURING mice FUNERALS"

This seems to be an age OF societies
and o-operation for all things. What
ever men wish to do they call a meet
ing to decide how it shall be done.
This arises from the fact that the in
dividual man is afraid to act upon his
own impulses for fear of being a sub
ject of ridicule or being called crank.
So everything must be made fashion
or fad. We now read Of cooper
ative society being formed to provide
its members with what it is pleased to
call "decent funerals" In a meas
ure, this is commendable, as it fur
nishes an incentive to provide for the
fate common to us all, and perhaps
when the average home is least pre-
pared for it. But aside from this, an
other indirect good may come. Such
cooperative organizations cannot fail
to call public attention to the fact
that much of the expense attending
the modern funeral, even in families
of moderate means, is foolish and un-
necessary. The desire for display is
responsible for the inability of many
families to meet the bills of the un-
dertaker. The cost of the modern
funeral is such that the average wage
Garner who finds the support of
family severe tax can scarcely afford
to die. Indeed, the funeral of today,
conducted in accordance with the de-
mands of prevailing custom, is too
costly for the well -to-do, who are
supposed to have something "laid
by" with which to meet such con-
tingencies.
The difficulty in instituting reforms
in this direction lies in the popular
misconception of what constitutes a
"decent funeral" or "nice burial. F"
AS matter of fact, decent regard
for the proprieties of such an occa-
sion does not call for the expensive
trappings that are usually provided.
A mans demise need not be used for
the enrichment Of undertakers and
liverymen in order to provide "de-
cent? fuaera1 Neither 40 the usual
expense of funeral justified by any
consideration Of proper respect to the
memory of the departed. They who
are borne to "the windowless palace
of rest" are not concerned about the
number of carriages or the cost OF
the caskets that hold their mortal re-
mains. .-Lancastey Pa Examiner.

A MIXED BUSINESS.

''But I don't know you, madam" 4"
the bank cashier said to the woman
who had presented a check. The
woman, however, instead of saying
haughtily, "I do not wish your ac-
quaintance, sir p merely replied,
with an engaging smile:
ooh, yes you do, 1 think, I'm the
'red-headed, old virago' next door to
you, whose scoundrelly little boys are
always reaching through the fence
and picking your flowers. When you
started for town this morning your
wife said, Now, Henry, if you want
a dinner fit to eat this evening, you'll IL
have to leave me a little money. I
can't keep this house on plain water
and cd a day"
"Here's your money, madam, :"
said the cashier, pushing it towards
her and coughing loudly.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.

1t is curious to note how some of
the articles of trade, conducive to
human luxury and convenience, and
which are in general vogue today,
were originally produced. For in
stance, it was an alchemist who, seek
ing to discover a mixture of earths
that would make the most durable
crucibles, one day found that he had
made porcelain. The origin of the
still-popular, blue-tinted paper came
about by mere slip of the hand.
The wife of William East, an English
paper-maker, accidently let a blue
bag fall into one of the vats of pulp.
The workmen were astonished when
they saw the peculiar color Of the
paper, while Mr.. East was highly in
censed over what he considered a
grave pecuniary loss. His wife was
so much frightened that she did not
confess her agency in the affair
After storing the damaged paper for
four years, Mr.. East sent it to his
agent at London, with instructions to
sell it for what it would bring. The
paper was accepted as a "purposed
novelty" and was disposed of at quite
an advance over the market price.
Mr.. East was astonished at receiving
an order from his agent for another
large invoice of the paper. He was
without the secret, and found him
self in a dilemma. Upon mentioning
It TO MS wife, she told MIN about the
accident. He kept the secret, and
the demand for the novel tint far ex-
ceeped his ability to supply it.
1t is stated by the Roman writer
Pliny that the art of making glass
was accidentally discovered by some
merchants who were travelling with
nitre, and stopped near river issu-
ing from Mount Carmel. Not readi-
ly finding stones to rest their kettles
on, they employed some pieces of
their nitre for that purpose. The
nitre, gradually dissolving by the
heat of the fire, mixed with the sand,
and a transparent matter flowed,
which was, in fact, glass.

THE SAD CASE OF ELI MINCH.

Mr.. Eli Minch, rich bachelor. who died In New
Jersey few days ago, claimed that he had never
circus; never played cards, checkers,
dominoes, baseball or shinny never skated with
a girl: never went counting, and never was in
love.
What did he live for. anyway?
Poor Eli Minchi
He never had the time to play,
He never loved maiden fair;
He never rushed, on circus day,
Away from duty and from care,
Poor Eli Minchl
He never held maidenS hand
While gliding DER an icy plaiD
Nor tumbled with maiden, and
Got up with her to try again
Alas alack for Eli Minchl
He just made money day by day,
And let no dear one come to lay
Her cheek against his own and try
To get him woozled up to pay
For gimcracks that she wished to buy
Poor Eli Minch
He meier bent DER the checker board
Or mourned when faulty moves were made,
His only pleasure was to hoard
And now beneath the sod he's laid,
And no one weeps for Eli Mlnch.
He never knew the sweet delight
Poor Eli Minch-
Of sitting, with but little light,
Close. close to some enchanting girl
And counting her till late at night,
And going home, with head awhirl-
Poor Eli Minch-
To dream sweet dreams of all her charms;
He ne'er saw one with wistful eyes
AS he held out imploring arms
Rush into them-with happy sighs-
Alas for luckless Eli Minchl
He never hurried home at night
Poor Eli Minch-
To lisping little ones whose bright
Eyes danced with love, whose childish glee,
Was shouted as he came in sight
And pounced upon them hungrily-
Poor Eli Minch!
His cheeks were never stroked by small,
Soft hands that stole out of his own;
He piled up wealth, and that was all,
And went his lOveless way alone
All, poor old cheated Eli Minch!

A SONG OF cHEERFULNEss.

Let us be cheerful What's the good of signing ?
(OlordyI Thursday next the rent comes due y
What's to be gained by all our coward crying?
20 dearl dear And coal is needed too)
Let us look up The sun is brightly shining,
II feel that latest sketch is sure to miss.)
So let us leave our grieving and repining,
(Did ever mortal have such luck as this y
Let us be cheerful Nature smiles around us
Il cannot seem to make these poems goo
Remember all the blessings that have found us,
q wonder why misfortune haunts me so.)
The world is genial. after all, and kindly,
So let US trust it cheerfully and blindly,
that's correctly
Let us be cheerful Facing what's before us,
U hope that other man won't call tOday,)
Tuning our souls to natures hopeful chorus,
Qf this keeps on I'll have to move away)
Observe the birds, how cheerfully they twitter,
20 what a dreary grind this grows to be y
They do not make their brief existence bitter
Gwen my postage stamps are out, see)
Let us be cheerful We, the poet
II can't scare up cent for Sadie's hat.)
Let sordid care be from our spirits parted.
(How can have the cheek to tell her thatD
A mind at ease, a soul in perfect quiet
Great CRsar must chuck it. / can't stay,
With every nerve and hbre In riot
To write song of cheerfulness todayD
Dents d. Nc CdTthy.

THE BOY WHO SMOKES.

Try by every means in your power
to prevent your boy from smoking
until he is grown, at least. What
ever difference of opinion there may
be upon the advisability of smoking
for men, there is none as to its per-
nicious effect upon boys. 1t effects
the action of the heart and reduces
the capacity of the lungs. Young
men who are being trained for athlet-
les are not permitted to smoke by
their trainers, because, as they say,
''It is bad for the wind" The ar
gument that will appeal most forcibly
to your boy is that smoking will stunt
his growth. 1t has been proved that
youthful smokers are shorter and
weigh less than their comrades who
do not smoke. Cigarettes are partic-
ularly injurious. Nicotine, the ac-
tive principle of tobacco, is said by
chemists to be, next to prussic acid,
the most rapidly fatal poison known.
The tender tissues of growing boy
cannot absorb even very small guam
tity of it without most injurious re-
suits.
