THE DOCTORS REASON.
Professional Advice Which, If Close
" Followed, Would Do Wonders.

The doctor looked serious.
"You should be very careful for at
least a month" he said.
NIs'it so bad as all that?" askedt The
patient. %anxiously.
"lf the result is to be as satisfac-
tory as / would like to have it, you

the now thoroughly alarmed patient
"A-am | eating too heartily"
Much TOO heartily You should
eat simpler food and not much of it
If YOU follow my advice you'll cut
your butchers and grocer's bills just
about in half"

cording to London Tit-Bits. "How

O KNOWING.
The Boy Was Bright, But Failed to
Get Position.

OEL \ OoAIANAs
A story is told of a certain trades
man whose premises were almost en-
tirely destroyed as the result Of a
mysterious fire, says London Tit
Bits.
The stock was fully insured, and
there was talk Of arson. Proceedings
were actually taken against the own
er of the business, but owing to lack
Of evidence the prosecution fell
through.
Soon afterwards the shop was re-
opened with an entirely new stock,
and the tradesman advertised in the
local newspaper for an errand boy.
Among the applicants for the post
was a bright youth who had just left
school.
"Well, my boy" said the trades
man, "and what do you know"
ooh" was the cool response, II
knows a lot. For one thing | knows
how to keep my mouth shut, an if
you're thinking of having another
fare-up you'll find me as close as a
hoyster!"
To the youngsters surprise he
wasn't engaged.

At THE DOCK.
Jim and Els London Trousers on the
Incoming Liner.

Amusing incidents are common at
the New York piers when the biglin-
ers sail or when they warp into their
berths after a voyage. The Post re-
cords one hat happeneda the White
Star dock the other day. A well
dressed youth with an imperturbable
eo~untenance sat on a pile watching a
steamer drawing up to the pier. Sud
denly he threw his head back and
yelled: "0h-h-h, jim" Noresponse
from the crowded decks. Again he
walled: Hi! jim" Then the crowd
on the dock took it up and yearned
aloud for "Jim" to the immense graf
ifcation Of the people on the ship as
well as on the pier. Finally a red
faced young man pushed his way
through the crowd on deck and
leaned over the rail. He regarded
the young man on the strlngplece IN
anger and affection. bill, you In
dian, what do you want?" The young
man breathed a sigh of holy calm and
peace. Jim" he said, you're look
ing great. Illleave it to the crowd"
He turned to those behind him..
"Jim went oyer to get some Of those
London trousers, the loose, baggy
sort, y'know," he explained, casually.
Jim turned a bright turkey red, and
was vainly endeavoring to worm his
way back to obscurity, but the pas
sengers on deck had got interested
and would not allow it. "Show us
your pants, jim" yelled a man on
the pier, and the crowd took up the
cry. The tormentors did not stop
until the ship had locked.

C~oloradoan Thinks 1t Conduces to
Health in a Dry Climate.
Though | have a very comfort
able house, | have for years made a
practice of sleeping out of doors"
said Mr.. j. P, Pomeroy, who is known
as one of the wealthy and enterpris-
ing citizens of Colorado to a Wash
ington Post reporter. 81 do not ex-
actly 60 out into the yard, but my
bed is placed on the front porch and
the winds of heaven have a fair sweep
at me.
"Such a practice is not to be COM
mended in a climate as damp as you
have in Washington, but in the dry
atmosphere of Colorado it conduces
to health, and some Of our leading
doctors advise their patients that
out-of-door sleeping is better for
them than physic. As consequence,
many people in my town, Colorado
Springs, forsake their bedrooms and
go out in the open air to slumber, and
l haven't seen any who follow the
practice that do not agree that it has
brought benefit"

Paper and Tallow Bullets.

1t is generally supposed that moth
ing save a metal bullet could com
mend itself for the purpose Of man
killing in war. That such q missile
is more powerful for ~long-range
shooting may be true enough, says
the Regiment; but for destructive
purposes at a short distance a bullet
Of paper or tallow has greater effect.
During some recent experiments in
this direction it was proved beyond
doubt that, whereas a metal bullet
penetrated a deal plank an inch in
thickness and left a neat hole, a
pasteboard bullet had a far greater
destructive effect upon the target. A
paper bullet passing through six
pieces Of tin placed at a distance Of
a foot apart buckled them up SO as to
be Of no further use, whereas a metal
bullet merely left a small round hole
and in no other way disfgured the
tin.

Al incident which may serve as an
Illustration of "horse sense" was wit

Brooklyn gentlemen who were on
their way to the railroad station,
When within a few yards of the build

belonging to a brewer, whose stables
are in the rear Of the depot. 1t was
plain that he had escaped from his
stall, as the stableman was making
vain efforts to catch him.
He would not be caught. He had
stolen a few moments to cut up
pranks in the snow; and with head up
and name flying, he was throwing the
snow into the air with his hind feet,
and snorting with delight.
He was not alone in his enjoyment

GOWNS OF QUEENS NOT COSTLY
With Rare Exceptions Royal Ladies
 Are Not Very EXtraVagant.

Is $25,OOO year an eXtravagant sum for clothes? A woman who has been living for ten years in foreign parts held up her hands in horror when some one who knows asserted that all these dollars were spent each year on fine raiment by the wife of d New York mill lionaire.
 That is more by many thousands than any royal woman in Europe spends per annum for her wardrobe. '' asserted the returned native. When I was last in Paris l met one of the ladies in waiting to the consort of a crowned head whose income was ample We talked clothes, and the lady in waiting assured me that royal women, with rare exceptions, are not eXtrava gant.
 Tn the days before her husbands death, Queen Margherita' $ clothes cost the private royal purse about $15. 900 or s1S.O000 d year. exclusive of her pur- chases of lace and jewels. But the queen was a beauty and her husband insisted that she must lead the fashion in his country, thereby giving a stim- ulus to trade. Furthermore. she was blessed with exquisite taste.
 "The most eXtravaGant royal lady at present is the Queen of Holland She orders nearly everything from Paris has very bad taste and loves bright ! colors, spangles and long ostrich plumes. She hates to wear a gown twice. and will never use again gloves or stockings that have been worn even l for half an hour at q court function | Her bills must run up to nearly S20, ,O00 | q year. but the Parisian dressmaker asks her all sorts of fancy prices be- l | over items.
 | High as her reputation for fancy dressing. the Queen of England does not spend a penny over $10000 a year. | She never appears at court functions twice in the same gown. Sometimes like eight gorgeous frocks are ordered ! each year for her in Paris Each one is worn once. and then her staff of salared seamstresses recasts it for her private evening Wear. She keeps four accomplished women steadily at work the year around, and only once in a
 while. for policy's sake does she order a frock from some prominent London | tailor or mantua maker She gets a batch of hats each season from Paris
 and when one has appeared at a func- ton it is recast and worn again and again in private society.
 ''The Empress of Germany is the only
 royal woman who never orders a stitch
 in Paris. When she desires something that the tailors or the millners of the
 fatherland cannot supply she resorts
 to Vienna. For German woman, she
 dresses in good taste and does not spend
 every year the S10,000 allowance she re-
 ceives for this purpose.
 The czarina has. it is said, an allow
 ance of S20.00O for dress. With the ex.
 captions of her superb stage gowns
 built exclusively for court functions
 she dresses with nun-like severity il
 black. She is careless almost to the
 point of neglectfulness in dress, anC
 this is strange. for she loved it when 2 girl. and is beautiful enough to set of the finest jewels and fabrics.
 !, Gossip says that two fine gowns pei year are all that the Dowager Queer
 of Spain buys. This good, plain, un-
