Eight Rules For Popularity.

First-Remember that good voice Is
as essential to self-possession as good
ideas are essential to fluent language
The voice should be carefully trained
and developed. A full, clear, flexible
voice Is one of the surest indications OF
good breeding.
Second-Remember that one may be
witty without being popular, voluble
without being agreeable, a great talker
and yet great bore.
Third-Be sincere. One who habit.
ually sneers at everything not only
renders herself disagreeable to others
but will soon cease to find pleasure in
life.
Fourth-Be frank. A frank, open
countenance and clear, CHEEKY laugh
are worth far more even socially than
'pedantry in a stiff cravat."
Fifth-Be amiable. You may hide q
vindictive nature under a polite ex-
terror for time, as cat masks its
sharp claws in velvet fur, but the least
provocation brings out one as quickly
as the other, and ill-natured people are
always disliked.
Sixth-Be sensible. Society never
lacks for fools, and what you consider
very entertaining nonsense may soon
be looked upon as very tiresome folly.
Seventh-Be cheerful. If you have
no great trouble on your mind you have
no right to render other people misera-
BILE by your long face and dolorous
tones. If you do you will generally
be avoided.
Eighth-Above all, be cordial and
sympathetic. True cordiality and SYM
pathy unite all the other qualities
enumerated, and are certain to secure
the popularity so dear to every one

A Swinging Portiere.

Occasionally in household decoration
it is desirable to hang a portiere or
door drapery on the same side as that
on which the door opens. This, of
course, is very awkward, as the door
is almost sure to catch the hanging
each time it is opened. To obviate this
trouble, which heretofore has only
been accomplished by changing the
door to open in the opposite direction,
where possible, sliding curtain rod
has been devised. One end of the rod
is supported on a bracket on the door
frame, while the other extremity 10
supported on the door itself. The
necessary give is provided in num-
Der of ways, all comprising some
scheme Of sliding support.

If diction not quite in accordance
with its subject may be pardoned,
certain acquisition Of the women of
to-day may be described as the "tea
face"
1t is seen on nine out of every ten
women at any afternoon tea, and it
is strenuous, vapid expression which
once observed can never be mistaken
for any other intent of countenance.
Young girls are not afflicted with it.
sTheir unsated, omniyorous propensity
for social gatherings and their merry,
buoyant spirits enable them to enjoy
even teas.
But the women who are perfunctor
lily attending the function, to whom
it is only No. = or 3 on an afternoon
list of four or five, these women as
sumo the tea face like a mask, and
with it hide their WEAKNESS, their pre-
occupiedness or their dissatisfaction.
Another popularity of the tea face is
the continual furtive glance that is
cast from behind it.
After all, it is but a mask, and the
real woman is ever surreptitiously look
ing out from the corner of her eye in
search of some special thing that really
interests her 1t may be only the clock
on the mantel, it may be the caterers
name, it may be a social lion, but al
ways the woman with the true tea face
will expose her secret interests or am
bltions by involuntary and hasty sur
yeys from her ungovernable eyes.
But it is good thing. this tea face.
Suppose for an instant the guests at
tea showed on their countenances
their true egotism instead of a genial,
cordial pretense of altruism! Suppose,
when we greeted a woman with the
latest thing in handshakes, We could
read in her face her ennui her curios-
ity, her indifference, or her impatience!
Instead Of this we meet delighted
emile, an exaggerated assertion Of in
terest in our welfare. and an affirmd-

LOTTERIES RUIN PEOPLE.
Continental Europe Still Cllngs to Them
For Revenue.

The lottery gambling system was
created in this city in the eighteenth
century. From Gonoa it has spread
over the entire continent of Europe,
| and the masses of Austria and Ger
many in particular lie entirely under
its sway. The lottery nowadays is as
governmental as the sale of opium,
and equally as noxious in its influence.
But it brings to the respective govern
ments millions of pounds sterling regu-
larly in commission profits, and it pre-
walls. The procedure of the lottery,
from a governmental point of view, is
very simple.
The State declares that lottery is
to be held for, say, $4,000, and adver-
tisements are issued to the newspapers.
Then tickets like glorifed bank checks,
are printed, bound up in volumes and
issued to the government tobacco
shops. The lottery is advertised, and
masses are drawn to the gamble like
flies to an empty treacle cask. The
tickets are dealt out. The prices rarely
range above a shilling per ticket. The
tobacconist receives his or her small
commission on the sales; the govern.
ment does likewise but on a much
fuller scale. The counterfoils of the
ticket are duly collected by the govern
ment officials and the bitterly pathetic
procedure-bitter, indeed, to those who
fully realize the horrid curse that the
lottery system really is-of drawing
the winner takes place on the appoint
ed day.
The counterfoils are thrown into
wheel-shaped urn, with sides of glass.
The wheel Is seven feet in diameter
and four feet in width. When filed
it is whirled round rapidly, and then
the trap door is partially opened, and
amid breathless silence a specially
chosen boy inserts his barred arm and
picks out the winning counterfoil. The
figures printed on 1t are advertised as
the winning numbers, and the "haupt
treffer," as the winner is named, calls
at the State bank with the ticket and
receives the huge stake he has won,
less, of course, government commission.
The lottery is fair and simple pro-
cedure, as this description shows, but
there is another side to the picture.
No greater curse blights the condition
of the poorer classes abroad. Philan-
thropists have denounced it in the Bit
terest terms. but officialsm, while ad-
mitting all its evils, clings to the sys-
TEN because of the millions sterling
which it brings to the revenue.-Genoa

kee quick wit and readiness 10 cope
with difficult situation. That charac-
teristic appeared very clearly in the
first government test OF his gun.
The rapid-fire weapon, then / nov
city, was offered for test in the pres
cnce of a number Of military experts
and government officials.
The inventor was asked to hive ten
thousand rounds fired at the greatest
possible speed. This was readily done,
but the experts were still unsatisied.
Can you guarantee" one OF them
asked Maxim, that your gun would
go on firing automatically for twenty
four hours:"
Certainly" answered Maxim, quiet
ly, ''on one condition.;
what is that?'
"That the government shall pay fer
the ammunition used"
This seemed reasonable. but when
the experts figured il out that the
twenty-four hours test would take
over eight hundred thousand cartridges
and that the cost would be about
twenty-eight thousand dollars. they
magnanimously withdrew their re-
quest.

A company has been organized in st.
Louis with a capital of 100000 1t
proposes to buy $4,000 acres OF waste
land in Southwestern Missouri and
Northern Arkansas, which is covered
principally with scrub oak. br.ers and
hazel brush. Then it will turn loose
several thousand Angora goats, which
will clear the land better than men can,
and bring in an income while doing
so. Once the tract is cleared it will be
put on the market as fruit and farm

FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.
Better Pay for School Teachers
Will Make our Schools Much
Better.

The agitation in the interest of better
pay for the country school teacher is
not entirely in the interests of the
public schools.
The real country schools are taught
usually by young women who never
expect to follow teaching as a profess
sion. They usually possess fair educa-
tional qualifications and are universally
worthy of employment in such pro-
fession. They do good work consider
ing all the circumstances. They have
to teach everything from the alphabet
to higler mathematics. They do not
teach in one department alone but in
all. In their little schools they are the
whole thing. Their responsibilities are
