NOT A WOMAN Halter.
One Mans Consistency to the Dead
Wife of His Youth

He was seated beneath one OF the
great oaks in the park. He heard his
name spoken as two men walked by
on the other side of the tree. They
were discussing a bit of gossip about
him which appeared on an afternoon
paper.

Is engaged to some woman or other,
and the truth is that he never looks at
one. His wife died when he was TWEEN

an hater ever since"-and they passed
out of hearing.

ThacISeray's Mustn e n e.

In n note on Samuel Laurence's por-
trait OF Thackeray-that representing
the novelist's face in full-the Illus
trated London News OF Oct. l3, 1855,
says:
1T is not, we must confess, alto
gether true to his present appearance,
for il wants a recent and becoming
addition TO the upper lip in the shape
of black mustache that contrasts
most admirably with head OF silver
gray, but It is like the man and will
be welcome TO his many admirers"
The reference here TO the mustache
Is interesting for the reason that every
portrait Of Thackeray. with one excep-
ton, represents him with a clean
shaven upper lip. the exception being
Maclise's pencil drawing of the famous
"Titmarsh," which. however, belongs
to a much earlier date-viz, about
1910 - and in which there is just
suspicion Of mustache. Presumably
the hirsute appendage Of 1850 was
merely a passing fancy, which the ra-
zor speedily disposed of.-Notes and

fulness on the part OF its wearer, who

trivial and were not consciously noted

almost sallow, with somewhat long,

that his clothes did not drip, that the

The Twelve LurYmen.

A prisoner is tried by twelve of his
fellow countrymen. This custom is a
thousand years old, and we get 1t from
the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions. each
under a chieftain When a malefactor
was brought to justice it was usual for
each chieftain to select a man from the
district over which he ruled and COM
pei him to try the prisoner, the verdict
OF these twelve men being declared by
the judge to be final.

Town Children in the Country.

From London come amusing reports
OF the impressions of poor children
taken to the country for holidays by
philanthropic associations. One little
girl, who was spending a few days in
the country, wrote home that it was
pretty and green and cool, but the
flowers amt as nice as the ones on
the hats in Commercial road" The
most picturesque comments are those
that touch on the workings Of nature,

along a neighboring ridge and saying:

LNInx on The Right side

When patient complains of a bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says physician. the first
question | ask him is as TO the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep on the
left side. and this is the most common
cause OF the unpleasant taste which is
generally attributed To dyspepsia. Ii a
meal had been taken within two or
three hours OF going TO bed, 10 sleep on
the left side is TO give the stomach
task which II is difficult In the extreme
10 perform. The student of anatomy
knows that all food enters and leaves
the stomach OH the right side. and
hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves a sort of pump
ing operation which Is anything but
conducive to sound repose. The action
of the heart is also interfered with
considerably. and the lungs are unduly
compressed 1t is probable that lying
on the back is the most natural posi-
ton. but few men can rest easily so,
and hence il is best 10 cultivate the
habit OF sleeping on the right side. 1t
is very largely matter Of habit. and
the sooner ii is acquired the better.

A question often asked. according 10
the United Service, is why the army
cadets at West Point wear gray uni
form. while the uniform Of the army
is blue. The origin of the distinction
dates back TO the war OF lS12-l4.
when the commissary general OF the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for General Winfield SCOTS
brigade, and so they were clad in gray.
SO distinguished was the conduct OF
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when. after the war Of 1872,

ment to General Scott and his brigade
the uniform Of the corps OF cadets was

OPIUM az DIVERSE FORMS
peVotees Of the Drug Choose Various
Ways Of Obtaining Its Effects.

Consumers of opium are not all of
the same kind. There are slaves of
the pipe. slaves OF the syringe and
slaves OF the powder that is swallowed
to give surcease of pain or of mental
worry. There are those who take the
drug in the form of a medicinal prep
araton, such as laudanum, paregoric.
aud the extract of laudanum; those
who smoke il and inhale the fumes
into the lungs and those who take
hypoderm!c injections of morphia. The
second class-the smokers-comprise
the largest number of victims.

in that city are addicted TO the opium

OF OPIUM in Vermont is equivalent.

obviously far greater than can be ac-
counted for by it's consumption for

the drug take it regularly every day;
others have periodical sprees similar
