One well-known physician has been
prescribing a decoction of sassafras rs
not only a good drink, but one that
will rapidly reduce the flesh. The
taste of sassafras will prevet many
persons from trying to drink when
there are other draughts more pleas

glycerin, five drops; formalin, five
drops. Mix and let the wash stand
over night or until thoroughly dis
solved. Then add enough rosewater
to make it as thin as glycerin, and
it will be ready for use. Moisten the

She was a slender school girl, says
the New York Evening Post, with an
expression of pride in her refined face,
now serious, and now half inclined to
laughter, as she stood in line before
the window of the paying-teller. In
one hand she clasped a pass book, and
in the other a check which bore un-
mistakable signs of infinite pains,
much time in writing, and the lack
of blotter. Outside a brougham was
drawn up at the curb, a footman stood
at the step, and an elderly woman
looked expectantly from the window at
the girl in line. 1t seemed as if those
ahead of her were ponderously slow in
transacting their business, but at last
it came her turn, and she pushed her
paper across the counter with much
Importance. Evidently she was the
daughter Of a well-known depostor,
possibly an official of the bank, and
the check was the first on her own
private account just opened. The tell
err was very courteous as he reached
for his orderly array of bills.
What denomination?' he inquired.
The maid was a bit disconnected, but
she rallied bravely, and replied:
"Episcopalian, thank you"
If the mirth of the teller was tempt

gravely counted out the full value of
the check in silver and small bills,
which the miss gathered in, and
marched proudly back to her mother.

Big men, says the New York Jour
nal. are usually shy and diffident and
lacking in self-assurance. The woman
who appeals to them is usually some
sparkling, vivacious, fairy-like' crea-
ture with kittenish ways and roguish
chances.
The little man, on the contrary, is
seldom burdened with humility. He is
a being of great aspirations and stu
pendous ambitions; he believes in him.

orally can get the woman of his choice
to smile upon him.
The dainty, wee, Titania-like woman
possesses no charms for him. "a nice
little thing" he says. of such a one.
Fall in love with her? Oh, no. she
always makes me want to take her by

The five-foot-six or seven man likes
a woman to be one or two inches his
superior, and thoroughly mature. He

ter school girl His ideal resembles
the strong, heroic women Shakespeare
has pictured, full blooded and vital
full of character and spirit, with a fair
spice of temper.
The big man breads a woman's
tongue, he is alarmed at the lightning
of her eyes, when they flash in anger;
but the little man is amused, and
rather likes it; that's one of the subtle
secrets of the little mans mastery.
Tall and willowy, with the promise
of richer, rounder curves as years go

carriage, a touch of hauteur, and above

A teacher in a public school, says
the New York Sun, gave to her pupils
this question: How can we make
school happy?" Below are some of
the answers she received:

you get through" (She carried her
principles into practice as she was a
model pupil.)
John, aged 10, sent this: Keep

seatmate kindly. Don't talk. Obey the
teacher. Do your work neatly. Help

carrying them out was concerned.)
