Doesn't Respect Old Age.

It's shameful when youth fails to show
proper respect for old age, but just the
contrary in the case of DIR. Kings New

matter how severe and irrespective OF

Constipation all yield to this perfect

door, ripping open an artery in two places, but did not realize how badly he had been hurt. He attempted to reach his home, but fell to the side walk in Fleet street in faint from exhaustion.
 He was revived by 8 touch on his forehead, and saw beautiful young woman kneeling beside him.
 Don't move. I'll help you," she said. I'm a trained nurse and used to handling such cases."
 In moment she had whipped out 3 handkerchief and bound it tightly about the wounded arm. A pebble was deftly placed directly over the artery, just below the shoulder. A pencil from MT. Schnster's pocket was used to twist and tighten the improvised tourniquet, and in mo- ment the blood ceased squirting from the wounded artery.
 "You are all right now, think, ' she said to the young man, who was almost too weak to thank her.
 "I'Il wait until some one. comes to take you home," she said, and stood near him until Dr. Banning, of Mount Vernon, appeared.
 Then the young nurse slipped away without giving any hint as to her identity.
 ''This clever work saved your life, 7 said Dr. Banning.

The shah of Persia is the possessor of 50 wives and 30 children, quite a small household when we remember Ehat the late shah had over 1 TOO wives md nearly 200 sons and daughtersi
 When the shah's wives go out for drive the loyal subjects of his majesty Ho not throng the streets to welcome them, as would be the case in a Eu- ropean country. A band of running footmen precede the royal carriage, crying out: "Run and hide your selves!" and on receipt of this hint, every passer-by scampers up a side street to avoid the crime of high trea- son by looking on the royal ladies. If it be too late to beat a retreat, pun Ishment is avoided by turning the face ko the wall.

MocKED WOMEN OF BRAINS
Literary Aspirants Were First Called "BIue. Stockings" in Samuel
 Johnson'G Time

The term "blue stockings" as applied to women with literary tendencies, is not now considered either elegant or appropriate, although at first there was some warrant for it's employment. Its origin is traced to the days of Sam >uel Johnson, and was applied then as now to women who cultivated learned conversations and found enjoyment in the discussion of questions which had been monopolzed by men.
 About 175O it became quite the; thing for ladies to form evening assemblies, when they might participate in talk with literary and ingenious men. One of the best known and most popular of these assemblies was said to have been a MT. Stillingfeet, who always wore blue stockings, and when at any time he happened to be absent from these gatherings it was usually remarked that i've cam do nothing without blue stockings" and by degrees the term .fblue stockings was applied to all gatherings of a literary nature, and eventually to the ladies who attendeg

, According to Belgian paper a wom- an whose husband had lost his life in a railway accident received from the company 10000 francs by way of com pensation Shortly after she heard of a traveller who had lost leg and had been paid 10000 francs. The widow at once put on her bonnet and shawl and went to the office of the company. ssGentlemen, how is this?n she asked. ssYou give 10000 francs for leg, and you allowed me only 10000 francs for the loss of my husband.'' Madam, 2 was the reply, "the reason is plain. Twenty thousand francs won't provide him with leg, but for 10000 francs you can get husband.'

O., Foley, Ashmore, forwards; Burns, center; Bowling, Carroll, guards. o. H. C., Nixon, Brennan, for wards; Burke, center; Ford, Walsh, guards; substitute, Shea.
