BE WAS A GREAT LAWYER.

A notoriously absent minded law
yer darted into a shop on day which
contributed more than its share to-
ward the eleven inches of rain that
fell upon the just and the unjust dur
ing that year, and bought an um-
brella, for which he paid. The sales
man had presence of mind enough
not to offer to wrap the purchase up,
and the lawyer carried the umbrella
as far as the door. There he stopped
to note something in memorandum
book, leaning his new umbrella
against the wall. His note finished,
he started out, forgetting what he had
bought.
Within minute he rushed into the
other door of the same store, demand
ing an umbrella.
ttx Sl2S0Sst<S had ono WIN iiIc
when left home, +" he said apologet-
ically; "but I must have forgotten to
take it,
A second salesman sold him anoth-
er umbrella, which he carried with
him. AS he was about to leave the
shop, the first man stopped him.
The second man had ''got busy" with
another customer.
"You left your umbrella, sir" he
said, holding up the original purchase.
"Bless my soul, so l did |" cried
the unfortunate lawyer. "And Isup-
pose I've gone on with some one
else's." So he pushed the second
purchase into the hand of the surpris-
ed man, seized the first he had bought,
and dashed into the storm again, with
his purchase under his arm.
"Yet that man is great lawyer" 4"
remarked the shopman, W h o knew
him by sight.

When 1 was young man of 20 I
boarded for time with family in
which there was a boy of about ID
who was always whining. He came
downstairs every morning with a
whine, he whined all through the
morning meal, he whined because it
was time for him to go to school, and
he came home from school whining.
He went to bed whining, and those
who called him Whining Walt" did
him no injustice.
A few weeks ago 1 visited the
scenes of my childhood and young
manhood for the first time in rs years.
While spending the day with some
old friends, said:
"Does Walter H still live
here?"
"Oh, yes" was the reply, "and he
is whining still"
"Then 1 fear that he has not
amounted to much in life," I said.
"Oh, no." said my hostess, land
now he whineS because all OF the boy
hood friends have succeeded better
than he. He says that he has never
had any chance like other boys.
He is a poor, shiftless, whining crea-
ture, and the nickname of Whining
Walt still clings to him. He has
simply whined away his chances Of
success in life."
l fear that there are other boys
who are doing this very thing, and
know that the whining boy is likely
to make failure of his life. I know
that he is never a popular boy, and
know that a whining man is an OBJ
iect of ridicule and contempt. The
boy who whines throughout his boy
hood is very likely to be ''still whin
ing" when his boyhood years and the
years of his young manhood are fal
behind him.
Don't whine if you have any re
spect for yourself, or if you woult
have others respect you. --Moryi
| Wade, in Ame, ican Boy.

TURNING A JOKE TO ACCOUNT.

The Rev. Thomas P. Hunt relates
in his Autobiography" an instance
of a practical joke termed against the
joker to the profit of the intended vic
tim. Mr.. Hunt was in New York,
soliciting subscriptions for Southern
school. One man to whom he ap-
piled referred him to another, saying
that he would subscribe $50 if the
second man gave anything, and hand
ed Mr.. Hunt a letter of introduction.
Mr.. Hunt found the second man in
his counting-room, surrounded by his
friends, and presented the letter.
The man read it with smile, writes
Mr.. Hunt, and handed it to his
friends, introducing me and explain
ing my mission. 1 saw that fun was
brewing. He began
s'I u4zdsreta4d ei.0t Je~4 sstt~~S
ing money, and that you are minis
ter of the gospell"
eyes, SIR"
"Well, you preach that men ought
to give of what they have. IT / were
to ask anything of you, you would
have nothing to give but your bless
ing. If 1 refused to take that, /
should get nothing"
eyes, sir, if that was all I had to
give"
"Well. sir, I am dealer in hard
ware. Will you take this hammer"
He handed me very fine one from
his sample case. I took it before he
had time to draw back, thanked him
for it, and got him to enter his name
in my book.
There was laugh, but not at me.
I was treated very handsomely by all
present. 1 did not care about the
hammer, but I had my eye on the $50
promised by the first merchant on
condition that I got anything out of
the hardware dealer.
I went back with the hammer, and
the man paid the $50, but laughed
louder than the dealer in hardware.
1t seemed that the giver of the ham
mer was a generous, liberal and social
man. He gave by the hundreds to
race courses, club rooms and such
things, but not a cent to religious pur-
poses. The hammer was his first de-
parture. The news soon spread that
he had given something for a religi-
Gus institution.
The next day, as 1 was passing
down Wall street, gentleman ad
dressed me and asked me to walk in.
Several of my friends of the day be-
fore were in his room. He asked to
see my subscription book, as he in
tended to subscribe. He gave Inc
$40. Looking over my book, he call
ed to his friends, "Here is the ham
mer, as certain as pay day !"
They enjoyed the joke, and many
a dollar I got for the sight of that
name

FASHION IN HANDWRITING.


There is a fashion in handwriting
just as there is fashion in clothes;
but, fortunately. the modes of cali
graphy change with less weathercock
like facility than those of chiffons do.
There is also a vast amount of char
acter revelation in handwriting so
perhaps even if it became the vogue
to alter the handwriting as often as
the hat, women would be unable to
conform to the rule, says Home Chat.
But to return to the question of
style, or fashion. The woman who
writes what is called the Italian hand
has almost died away with the old
days in which the penny post was
real art. We scribble now, whereas
ders in the art of caligraphy.
The gentle nurtured and carefully
educated girl of the very earliest days
wrote sloping hand, formed her let
ters clearly and carefully, made very
long tops and tails to those letters
that require them, and took pride
in forming her up strokes with deli
cate fneness, falling off again to a
fine, light finish.
She was very particular about the
formation of her capital letters, using
many quantity wonderful flourish !;
and she endeavored, as best she might
on her closely lined pages, to pre-
serve an even line, employing some
F., times ruled note paper, or using be-
meath her paper sheet of ruled paper,
the lines of which cleaned through
the top sheet and proved a guidance
to her pen.
Many men of culture and refine
ment also adopted the Italian style OF
handwriting. Those who have seen
the signature of that great surgeon,
Sir James Paget, will recollect the
sloping character of the caligraphy,
light and dark and up and down
strokes and the length of the looped
letters. But in Sir James Paget's
case, as in that of many other men
of his marvellous intellectual power
and unobstrusive modesty, fourishes
of pronounced type were absent.
Miss Braddon's handwriting tends
toward the Italian style with pointed
letters, we'll defined tails, and dis
tinct difference between the up and
down strokes.
1t used to be cruelty said of women
who wrote an i'll formed, undecipher,
able hand, that they were unable to
spell and of truth in many cases
this was undoubtedly so. In ancient
days, of course, neither men nor wo
men could be blamed for bad spelling
Until the standard of photography wa:
settled, how was it possible for any
body to spell correctly! Still, there
is no doubt that until girls were a.
carefully educated as their brothers
numbers of them did adopt form
of handwriting that left the spelling
of their words most questionable a!
regarded accuracy.

HINTS ON D1ErEr1cs.

Unripe fruits should never be par
taken Of.
Oatmeal is heating, hence desira-
bic cereal in winter months.
Well cooked rice, arrowroot and
boiled milk heal intestinal irritations.
Pickles, except when eaten with
meat and oily foods. are positively
unwholesome.
Strong coffee, taken without cream,
is refreshing to the nerves and stinu-
lating to the brain.
Sweet things and rare meat conduce
to make equity acid in the blood Of
those predisposed to rheumatism.
Toast and tea form an invalid diet
which is far from ideal. There is
tannic acid in the tea and but little
nutriment in the toast.
Food values differ according to in
dividual constitutions. According to
the old saw, whats one man S meat

Gastronomic experiments should be
