Ink as an Earache Cure.

An amusing story is told OF a man
who was suddenly attacked in the
night by a violent fit of earache. His
wife told him that there was on the
window sill by the bed a bottle of
ehloroform and recommended him to
rub some on his face.
Without striking a light he reached
out for the bottle, pulled out the stop
per and, pouring some of the contents
into his hand, anointed his face from
mouth to ear. Very soon he announced
that the pain was better, lay down
again and went to sleep. He was
awakened In the morning by cry of
horror from his wife.
What is the matter?" he inquired
Look at your face" was the reply.
A glance in the glass showed him that
his face on one side was black as a
negro's. The bottle which he had
grasped in the dark had contained not
ehlorcform, but Milwaukee Wis
eonsin.

Refinement.


Refinement looks ever with disap-
prevail upon needless waste and need
less extravaganza. She carefully
counts the cost ana makes the most
of all material brought 10 her hand.
Consideration for others has made her
watchful, and nothing in her charge
is sauandered or wantonly consumed
TO vulgar ostentation she firmly re-
fuses the radiant light of her counte-
nance, but seeks instead the quiet
hooks. the retired haunts where dwell
those who know her true worth. The
spirit OF refinement lives even with
those whose tastes are simple and pure,
who make no pretenses, whose faith in
humanity is strong and real. To those
endowed with kindly tact and genial
wit who employ all means of good
within their command, whose hearts
are touched by the grief and misery
around them and who are quick TO see
and respond to others wants-with
these, too, the spirit lives. They who
entertain this guest are clean in mind
and person. and the motto hung upon
the spiritual walls of home is ''Cleanli-
ness Is Next to Godliness.

big brown eyes were still bigger from the in
terest which she took in the many things
around her.
Presently the little girl from the floor below
came out and sat in the other corner. She was
a ragged little thing, and dirty The new world
had been very hard on her and her people. She
was just a little envious Of the clean dress, the
whole stockings and the stout shoes in which
the new arrival rejoiced. There was certain
green shawl about the new girls neck, too,
which made the other remember with tears a
purple shawl which had been hers when they
first came to America
Il wouldn't be as ragged as you are" said the
newcomer, in purest Italian.
1t took the other one a minute to figure out
her answer. you just wait until you have

what she said.
You are dirty said the new girl.

one whose tenement days have Joined into wears
She's not been washed all over since we left

This was too much for the new arrival She
arose with dignity, swished her short skirts and

LIFE IN THE TENEMENTS.
Residents Not Deroid of Curiosity about

1t is worth while to be in a tenement house in
the Italian district when 4 family which has
just left the steamer takes possession of vacant
rooms. The poorer the district the more inter-
esting is the process OF moving in.
The other tenants are curious as are the
heighbors in a country village. The household
possessions are boiled down to the capacity of
strange looking trunks. odd carpetbags and a
few bundles They contain treasures of various
sorts. but mostly wearing apparel
OF course there children in the new fam
lily. and there are the children who already live
in the tenement. 1t is not long before they mix
together although there is often little diff
Guilty with the language. 1t is surprising how
quickly the younger generation forget Italian
for the more valuable English of their adopted
land. But they manage to get along the new
comers and the old; questions are asked and
answered and comparisons are made.

Italian miss sauntered down the dark stairs from

Twenty -third-st it stopped to permit stout
woman to get on. In entering the seat directly
behind the drunken man she accidentally struck
his hat, which, just then caught by a breeze
was carried into the street, where a heavily
laden wagon passed over it.
Half turning in his seat the drunken man said

A NURSERY IN TIBET.
Rock-a-by-babyi In the Forests
of This Obscure Country.

Our first meeting with the Sifans pre-
scented many ludicrous features. We
were plunging through the gloom of the
forest when our ears were assailed
with a concourse of yells which echoed
/ through the supernatural silence with
ghostly weirdness. In this forbidding
wilderness we had not looked for signs
of human habitation, SO, hastily arrang-
ing ourselves in position, we prepared
ourselves for what seemed an inevita-
BILE hostile attack. Long and anXiously
we awaited the onslaught of our sup
posed hidden ASSISTANTS, when again
the peace disturbing sound echoed al
most, il seemed, over our very heads.
CHANGING upward, the mystery was
soon explained. for in the lower branch
rs of the tree we could descry numerous
small bundles, each too large for an
eyrie and too small for Il windfall.
Both my Kiangsi and Gharlkauese
escort, with their superstitious natures
reused by these ghostlike sounds, visi-
bly, paled beneath their dusky skins and
gazed furtively round in order To seek

awed until, peerlng more closely. l be-
came aware of the fact that the dis
turbing clements which had caused us
so much concern arose from the fact
that we had unwittingly stumbled upon
an aboriginal nursery and that the
weird and ghostlike sounds emanated
from several hungry and luSty lunged
infants. Then the solemn stiffness was
broken by our hearty laughter. the ST.
fans and Gharlkauese, as if to make
amends for their credulous fears. max
ing the woods ring with their forced
outlaws. The Sifan TibetanS, as we
subsequently learned. place their chill
dren in skin cradles and hang these
from the trees in the forests. the first
from belief that they will be instruct
ed by the deties, the second that their
full existence may not be endangered
by the abominable filth and squalor of
the settled regions. Several times in
the day they are visited by their moth
ers, who provide them with food and
remain with them during the night, and
in the forest home the child remains
until it is two or three years old and
has grown strong and healthy enough
to stand the rigors Of hardship and dis
ease.-W. c. jameson Reid in Golfers

What a Famous CITY Lacks.

Athens, Greece, the only capital in
Europe which cannot be reached by
rail, is separated by several hundred
miles from the European main rail
way system, of which Brindisi, Sa
lonika and ConstantinOple may be re
garded as the three southern termini
A projected line from Athens to Sa
lonika will bridge the last gap in the
chain. When this is completed IL will
be possible to run through carriages
from Calais TO Athens and the Greek
capital will be brought within three
days of London. At present the quick
est transit is five days, via Brindisi
and Paris. which involves a sea voy'
age almost as long as that between
Brindisi and Egypt.

SUNRISE for BaIfour.

Mr. Balfour, the British premier, one
day was riding in company with some
friends along a country road whsn he
noticed a cyclist pedaling rapidly in
the rear With characteristic friend
illness the premier asked, Shall we
pace you?" But no answer was forth
coming and to the motorists surprise,
when he had proceeded about mile,
he was ordered to pull up by two
constables. His voiceless friend had
been a policeman in plain clothes who
was testing the speed at which the
vehicle was moving.

Among the Magazines.

The crucial period in mans life is the
time when he is forced to make choice
of the profession he is to follow. Where
it is likely to be one which differs from
that of his father, he is often compelled
to make his choice without sufficient al.
vice on which to base his decision. For
this reason, The Cosmopolitan's series
on Making Choice of Profession, is
of particular value to young men, con-
tanning, as it does. sound, practical adj
vice from the men best qualified to speak
on the subjects discussed. In the Aug
ust number, John M. Carrere deals with
the career of architect-what it offers in
rewards to the aspirant for success, and
what it demands of him in qualifications
and character.

His Strategy Won the Day.

There are tricks in all trades. A
young writer who will be fnancier
one of these days fired" as he
phrased il, article after article into
the various magazines and news
papers for weeks without an accept
ance. Confident of his ability TO turn
out as good rot as any published, he
finally adopted this plan and IL work
ed TO his ACKNOWLEDGMENT: On the
northwest corner of each article he
wrote something like this: Rejected
by Harper & Brothers. McClure's, the
Cosmopolitan and Outing. Respect
fully submitted TO your superior judg.
ment." The ingenuity of the idea
caught in some quarters and he dis
posed of enough matter to buy a cot
tage on the instalment plan.
