TEARS AS CAPITAL.

Under this caption the Tacoma Led
ger doles out some timely advice to
those susceptible ones who are melted
10y tears. 1t would appear from thd
incident cital by the Ledger that tears
are not always a dead sure sign Of de-
serving sympathy, but, quite TO the
contrary. that some persons use them
as stock in trade. Says the Ledger:
When the poet wrote, Tears, idle
tears. ] know not what they mean;
tears from the depths Of some divine
despair. he stamped himself as lacking
in practical qualities. Even II he could
not account for the brine. he might
nave made the drops serviceable.
There Is great potency in tear, and
racklng sob or two II Is more forceful
than dynamo. Recently handsome
young woman in Seattle approached
two men. She was weeping. Down
her face the dewy globules chased each
other in impressive procession. Also
her plump shoulders quaked with a
sorrow that came from the heart, or
was perfect counterfeit. She was in
trouble. Her husband, the only one
she had, had deserted her in a strange
and wicked city without the price Of
4 railroad ticket. or, for the matter
Of that, Of a meal ticket, and no re-
sources for the obtaining Of a pawn
ticket. Oi milk tickets and bread
tickets she could only dream. The
men were touched. Both Of them
dropped a consoIing coin and swelled
with pride in contemplation Of their
virtue. Besides, the young woman
was good looking. However, they were
troubled by the suspicion that they had
been sweetly buncoed and, turning, fol-
lowed long and far enough to observe
the enterprising female touch six
more Of their easy sex. Now this
person knows more about :he tear
business than the poet ever knew, and
yet in all probability she never wrote
a line about IT,

HEALTH PARAGRAPHS.
Especially Intended for the Gud1ancs of Girls in Their Everyday
 Lives.

The thin girl must sleep as many hours as possible. She must not wor- ry. And she must live in the open atr and sunshine just as much as she can every day, says American Queen.
 Study your own physical makeup and than develop the weak parts, while 1t the same time you keep up the exercises for the whole body in general.
 Be careful not to let any. physical fault get start Prevention Is so much moro valuable than cure. And if you wiu cuit3tate keen eye for your own imperfections, it will not be difacult to overcome them at the start
 Do not neglect to carry yourself well. Do not bend over at the waist. Hold yulr bead straight and erect It will increase both your own seif-respect and produce better impression on all about you.
 Your voice may be cultivated till 1t will of itself attract friends to you. Train yourself to notice pleasant voices and then modulate your own and see that t always gives out its best tones Control of the voice will have great influence over your disposition. Be careful that your voice Is never harsh or whining.
 You cannot be graceful unless every part of your body enjoys perfect free dom of action.
 No indoor exercise can take the place of activity in the open air. V The skin is of the greatest value ih eliminating impurities from the body and therefore should be kept in perfect condition.
 If the top of shoe does not allow the toes to spread forward and outward they will have to turn up. It Is easy to sec how painful this will be in playing games, or in walking down hills, or in deep bending. or in jumping down from any height
 Never use any metal instrument about the teeth or you will run the risk of injuring the enamel. Never bite threads or crack nuts with the teeth.
 Mutton tauow is very good for the hands A few drops of camphor in 1t have healing effect. Rest ia fully as important for the thin girl as diet Relieve all tension by closing the eyes and banishing all thought for short intervals. Never neglect your hands, and espe- sially your nails Keep both scrupu- Ioualy neat

 Answering to the Charge 4 of Theft.

'Laet winter when 1 wsnt south fog tny health" said Col. l.. s. Brown, of the Southern railway, who, according to the Washington Star. always has a good story in stock, "I was told they were going to try colored man for stealing . quantity of raw cotton, and when the hour arrived 1 went up to the court house to hear the case, The prisoner was @ man about 40 years of age, and he had elected to plead his own case The prosecution proved that the bag of cotton was found in the colored mans cabin. and the property was fully iden- tiled as belonging to the owner of compress. The prisoner asked no ques- tions, but said he wanted to make statement and rest his case 'wid de Lawd.' After awhile he was given an opportunity to speak and said: . "T was gwine by dat compress at leben o'clock last night when 8 voice dun called out to me: Hold on, dar. Abraham Jones. Yo' was pore man, an' yo' jest take long dis bag O cotton 70 buy yo' some shoes fur cold veath. sr.' Den de bag fell at my feet, an dun took 1t home
