AL KINDS OF MANIAs.

IT is ENTIRELY PROBABLE that
L nine individuals out OF every ten
who read this viii find that they are
harmless lunatics. That seems a strange
assertion to make about citizens who
go quietly about their business every
who go home to comfortable
homes in the evening. who have high
places in the worlds Of finance, of So
ciety, Of culture. Yet, taking as a
starting point a curious article from a
Paris periodical, we shall attempt to
prove our theory.
In the first place. do you like to twist
your mustache? If you do. you are
troubled with mistakostrepsomani
That sounds perfectly horrible. doesn't
it? But it is comparatively harmless
disease which can be cured by cutting
off your mustache. Madomania is an
other common form Of iunacy. Persons
afflicted with it are continually pulling
hairs out of their heads or boards. One
Of the commonest maladies, and one
We have all encountered, is strepsOrab-
domania The strepsorabdomaniac is
forever whirling a cane or an umbrella
around in a reckless manner. Drum
majors in minstrel bands are usually
strepsorabdomaniacs
Very frequently musicians are oto-
dactylomaniacs. That is. they have ac-
quired the habit of placing the finger
in the ear and moving it violently. At
some period in the life of practically
every human being he or she was a
stomadactylomaniac. To be a stoma-
dactylomaniac 1t is only necessary to
put your finger or your thumb in your
mouth and keep it there for an appre-
ciable period of time at frequent inter
walls during the day. The habit is usual
ly outgrown early in life, but some
times it runs into onyxophagia, a dis
ease which causes persons to bite their
nails and which is highly Injurious.
Lots of people you see on the street
cars are kratopodomaniacs You will
recognize them by the fact that their
| legs are crossed, thus making it diff
cult for passengers to walk up and
down the narrow aisle. Another NAL
ady, known as tremopodomanla, Is
found in persons who, whether stand
| ing Or sitting, working or play
| ing, continually move their legs. The
man who expresses the greatest aston
| ishment on the receipt Of the mos
trivial information is a synophromani-
&C. He wrinkles his forehead and con,
| tracts his brow if he hears that yes

catalogue of other ordinary Iunatic
could be catalogued but most Of tn
human race is included in the list al
ready given.

THE TELEGRAPH HABIT.
One who Had Contracted 1t Had a
Message Delivered to Him
In Church.

Many men have the telegraphing
habit, as others have the telephoning
habit. They send "a wire" with and
without provocation. Even where time
is not an object, and letter would do
much more good, they call for blank
and scratch off 20 or 40 words, says the
New York Press. There is a young
lawyer here whose career has been
greatly accelerated by judicious en-
ployment of the telegraph. In some
way he always manages to receive two
or three messages wherever he hap
pens to be-in hotel, theater, muse
um, church, opera house or Jail. When
he crosses the ocean next month on a
big liner he will have half a dozen
marconigraphs a day by wireless. He
is confident of the success of keeping
himself in the public eye, no matter
what the cost. One Sunday he re-
ceived a message in church, and, qui
city rising to his fullest stature to
give the congregation opportunity to
view him, he stalked out satisfied that
he had made an indelible impression.
The message consisted of five words

by the superior condition of those
worn by men. Two-thirds of the
women you meet cover their hands
with suedes and dogskins that are
shockingly soiled and worn. 1t is not
only women of generally shabby APP
pearance who are guilty of wornout

who are otherwise well-groomed and
who could afford to put on a fresh
pair of gloves every day are equally
culpable. Men would be ashamed to
go on the street wearing such dis
reputable things, but women faunt
them unblushingly."
"That sweeping condemnation is
unfair" protested the woman. "The
condition is easily explained. Women
wear their gloves much more than
men and besides it is awfully destruc-
tive to finger tips to dig around in
purses for change and samples and
to handle candy, to turn over books
and to examine dry goods"

TOYS TEACH HOUSEKEEPING.
Moved Plan In Operation In n Clncln-
natl Institution Proves
Success.

The teaching of little girls how to
keep house by means of toys is the
novel plan just instituted at the Union
Bethel, Cincinnati, o. The name APP
piled to the new scheme, "kitchen gar
dening," may be misleading. The lit
tie Kitchen gardeners" are a class of
tiny girls, who are being taught how
to make beds, set tables, sweep rooms,
dust and place things in order in a
very quaint manner. The children
meet every Thursday. Little sets of
doll dishes are given the children and
little doll tables are in evidence. The
little children are shown how to set
the doll tables and place the knivesa and
forks properly at each plate. They
are taught the proper way TO hold
broom and how to sweep. They are
taught, with the use Of dolls house
and toy furniture in It, how arts
tically to arrange the furniture in
room and how to hang pictures. The
more advanced pupils are Unexpectedly
given a room in the Union Bethel some
afternoon and are requested TO see that
tits properly made clean and neat The
knowledge which they have been given
with the dolls furniture then comes
into play. They know how to make up
big beds from learning how to make
up small dolls beds. In two weeks
time the kitchen gardening class has
become one Of the most popg ar Of the
Union Bethel The children like to
learn because the dolls furniture in
terests them and the mothers say that

TRAINING OF A SALESLADY.
Some Points That Are Essential to
Her Popularity with Her
Employer.

The business education of shop
girls is continually stimulated by
means of lectures given by the
buyer, who is the real boss, says Les
lies Monthly. "Try," he says, "to
make your customer take the goods
with her, to avoid deliveries; but
don't carry this out too strictly, for
if your customer is the right sort
it is well to accommodate her"
"Try to have as few c. o. ID. sales
as possible" Is a phrase frequently
dinned into our ears. "Try to sell
hard selling goods is another fire.

department is under supervision of
buyer, who not only buys the
goods, but also sees that the girls sell
them. At the end of the season, If
any particular department is not a
success, that department may be
abolished, and the buyer will be out
of job. He is, therefore, very anx-
ious to get rid of the goods, par
ticularly of the hard selling ones
