The Art of Putting Things.

Every one who wishes to get through
life usefully and pleasantly should study
the art Of putting things.
Unpleasant things have to he said
sometimes, but how many quarrcls and
heartburnings would be avoided il we
could always say them with tact and
courtesy!
The story is told of DR. Holmes that
once when Il man stood before him at
the theatcr, completely shutting out his
view of the stage, instead Of gruffy ask
ing him to sit down the doctor said: Il
beg your pardon, sir, but when YOU see
OF hear anything particularly interesting
on the stage will You please let lis know.
as we arc entirely de1,endent on your
kindness:" This was sufficient Witt,
smile and apology that only the art
of putting things could have extracted,
the gentleman took his seat.
There is story. of separation that
took pace simply because a gracious al.
nouncement had been couched by the
husband in ungracious terms. He SAID:
my dear, here is little present. have
bought to put you in good temper"
''Sir," was the indignant reply, ''do yon
mean to tell me l am bad-tempered anl.
YOU have to bride ME to be otherwise
Why, | am always good-tempcrcl. It is
your violent temper that makes us fall
out" And SO the quarrel began again
and went on to the bitter end.
At no time is the art of putting things
more useful than when We have to lini
fault, which is a difficult thing to lo
we'll. We all have to find fault occasion

is done with such little tact that it loses
it's intended effect. Often it makes VIII; t

time for finding fault. In the right per-
ception Of what that time is lies the i'm

discrimination in fault-fnding is likely 10
be fatal to it's success. The reprool
which is given at the right time and in 4

proves most effectual. - Philadelphia

EXCURSION ANNOUNCEMENTS

Mr.. II. =. Smith, who is the Eastern
representative Of the Big Bend Land
company OF Spokane, Washington,
was seen by a reporter at his office at
the St. Charles hotel at milwaukee,,
Wis, last evening.
Mr.. Smith said that on account Of
the numerous inquiries and urgent re-
quests received from farmers all over the
state, who wish to visit that section as
early as possible, he has decided to run
the first of series Of excursions to the
Big Bend country, Washington, within
the next thirty days. On these cxcur-

qualities have been attributed to it's pos
session. The familiarity OF islanders

by the national custom that led the an
Gent Britons to paint their bodies, are
sOiemnly urged as the foundation Of the
English proneness to washing; and the

Young Englishmen are held to replace

and more frequent acquaintance with the
articles Of the washstand. With fanci-
full theories we have naturally no con-

same, if equally indScernible, reasons as
a tendency to roam or a dull ear for mu
sic. If, however, we do not attempt to
explain the presence Of widespread
habit and leave it to idle imaginations to
determine why Englishmen wash, it is
nevertheless our concern that such hab-
its should be for the general welfare, and
should not be carried to injurious excess.
1t is quite obvious that even in England
there are people who wash too little.
1t is not so generally recognized that
some people wash too much. The skin is

is used in the morning and at night the

the. case. soap and water are used three
