Accustomed to 1T,

George Seton, London writer, has
published budget of anecdotes, one
of which tells of fashionable woman
who appeared before Pope Leo in a
very low-necked dress. His Holiness
disapproved of the costume so
strongly that he sent cardinal to
demonstrate with the wearer. The
messenger made this rather ambiguous
explanation: "The Pope, my dear
madam, is rather old-fashioned, you
know, and dislikes seeing any lady in
evening dress. I, on the other hand,
who have spent six years of my life
as missionary among the cannibals,
am quite used to kansas City

How He Escaped a WettinR.

Prof. Blank, who was born dry, and
is prone to thrust his dryness upon
others, recently achieved additional
dryness for himself. He was among a
large party shooting on the moors of
Scotland. Suddenly a heavy storm of
rain came on. No shelter was at hand,
and the sportsmen were drenched. All,
at least, but Prof. Blank. He had
mysteriously disappeared when the
rain came on, and rejoined the party
when the sun was shining again. To
their amazement, the erudite one was
as dry as one of his own books. 'How
did you manage to escape wetting?''
growled one of the dripping sports
men. GAS soon as the rain came on
went off by myself" returned Prof.
Blank, blandly, Slipped off all my
clothes, and sat down on them till tho
shower was over."- .Liverpool Post.

There are still some snobs who con-
slider an occupation as honorable or
otherwise according to the texture of
the clothing worn by those who pur-
sue it. But the principal is gradually
becoming accepted that all occupations
are honorable which promote the well
fare of society. The farmer boy who
wants to study law is not looked on as
entertaining contempt for the calling
OF his father and the lawyer who iu-
sists on becoming an iron worker is
not looked on by his friends as q
degenerate. The boy is no longer as
signed to an occupation at or before
birth. and from the acceptance of the
view that all labor possesses dignity
has come the belief that it is proper
that the youth shall choose for himself

as beer, the American nowadays has
far outdistanced the American Of
1850, raising the average from an
Insignificant 1853 gallons to 17.49
gallons. In the matter OF wines the
American has never been q heavy
drinker. What makes up the heavy
figure Of his consumption is mostly
beer, and even this is not the heaviest
kind Of beer. 1t would not be COR
rect, therefore, to say that the Ameri-
can people are more Incorporate
now than they we're fifty years ago.
1t is well known that tho contrary
is the fact. Any close observer will
notice that sobriety IL constantly
on the increase, and that drinking to
excess or even moderately is becom-
ing less. Last year Illinois produced
39,742,S76 gallons Of distilled spirits,
and Kentucky, which ranked second,
26,019,1 66. But among 10000, 900
people these figures are not so very
heavy. When our ancestors took
something for the stomach's sake 1t
was the real "hard stuff" On the
whole, our people are now much
more moderate, and it is highly
gratifying. Duluth EveningHerald.
