 The earl Is said to be much distressed and his family Is much disappointed. for it had received Mrs. Tsvis on the footing of his financee.

 For some time after her departure for America Lord Rosslyn wore an air of beam- inr expectancy. Suddenly this changed to an expression of gloom natural to a man in love and parted by the sea from the lady in the case The gloom deepened and finally it came out that the marriage Is off. In deep distress Lord Rossiyn confided to in- inmates and the women of his family corro- borated him that he had been thrown over No reason was given by mail or otherwise.

O. H. Oxen in Chicago Tribune.
 This is the day of advanced salesfnan- ship. The old ways of selling goods are being discarded. A man no longer goes to the place of business of an- other and simply makes the statement that he has new style clothes pin to sell at a new price. The day of the direct statement in salesmanship is gone or going. The lightning rod man today goes out after the shekels of the rural cousin under the guise of benev- olent man of science; the soap salesman is only interested in the sanitary condi- tions of the town he visits.
 But 1t remains for certain men in dif- ferent lines of metropolitan business to Introduce methods, or rather a method, for selling goods that makes the ef- forts of the lightning rod man and the dispenser of soap seem akin to the rought, coarse bungling of the amateur compared with the bright, glistening product of the finished artist This method is known in the few circles wherein it is known at all, as the "hu- man nature system" It is called thus because its first and last principles of operation are based upon a thorough knowledge of human nature. It might be called anything else, but the fact remains that 1t Is called effective by the men who use it.
 So far the originator of the idea is unknown. 1t is unlikely that he will ever step into the breach to claim the fame that his conception would bring him. Also 1t Is positively certain that no firm or business house using Inc human nature system" in making sales will own to the fact. The reasons for this are many and obvious.
 System q Simple One.
 The system is fairly bewildering in It's simplicity. It calls for two princi- pals, one of them at least possessing the qualities of good amateur actor or actress. It is beautiful to watch In its operation for the one who is int tiated, and there are no doubts as to its results. And the crowning beauty of it is that 1t sends the person who has been sold anything on his or her way rejoicing in heart and thoroughly satisfied.
 This is the modus operandi in high class jewelry store, for instance: A woman. for it is averred that women in particular are susceptible to the system

 As a matter of fact. they will prob ably be fully up to the average age and maturity of English youth at the university. but will at first be at some disadvantage because of the difference in the methods of preparatory educa- ton in this country and Great Britain.
 The Rhodes scholars from the United States are hoping to take a hand in athletics at Oxford. In fact, the Ox- ford authorities requested that along with the examination papers of candi- dates should be sent some account of their ability as athletes.

 Benefciaries under the Rhodes schol- arships are about to start Tor Oxrord. There was an effort among some of these young men to arrange that the whole forty-eight American bonei- charles should go over in body on the same ship.
 This suggestion did not hud favor with some of the young men One of them, in speaking of 1t, declared that he did not care to sail for England like a Wild est,show. He reared that the result of going over in a body would be that the American students would tend to keep to themselves and apart from the general life of the university

comes and asks to look at a valuable
 pearl necklace. The obliging salesman
 shows her the finest in stock. She
 looks and admires or condemns. as the
 case may be, and asks the prices. As
 pearl necklaces run high when 1t comes
 to the price. the buying Is one that a
 woman will not have over with in few minutes Perhaps she will ask to
 have the jewels laid aside. She will come in next day, possibly accompanied by a friend, to give her opinion of the pearls.
 Works Rapidly, if at All.
 So far the system has not made its appearance. Only the usual methods of selling goods have been employed.. It Is not until the last moment, when. the
 sale is hanging in the balance of the womans indecision, that the new meth cd is introduced. Then 1t comes with a swiftness and certainty of results that is wonderful. It comes in the shape of a woman. the theory being that a woman Is much better than a man for | this kind of work, She Is well dressed | and refined in appearance. in fact. to | judge from looks. she moves in exactly the same circle of society as the woman who Is examining the pearls | The success or failure of the scheme depends entirely upon the. skill and | finesse of tho woman "booster She must know just when the proper time | to approach the customer has arrived and how to make the approach. She does not step up and recommend the purchase of the jewels. nor comment upon their extreme beauty. Far from it. She steps hastily up to the counter where lie the jewels. She is apparently | troubled slightly over something. I Pardon me-" she says graciously In the most cultured and pleasing voice imaginable, with just a note of haste l in her tones. "are these pearls sold?'' IThere is a world of implication in her l tones that she has been longing from | her innermost heart for the jewels for a | long time; there Is a hint in her voice that If the answer Is No" she will | promptly snatch the pearls to her heart. no matter what the cost, and fly away. l Then 1t Is time for the clerk to look | hesitatingly from one to the other and | to pause suggestively before replying. Human Nature Steps In.
 l But 1t is the woman in the case that does the work. The idea that the pearls
 are so desirable-that another woman wants them-instilled in the mind of
 the real customer, is the sole end and purpose of the system. What? This
 woman to get these pearls and come | dangling them before my eyes wherever
 I go, a constant reminder that she beat
 me in getting them?" thinks Mrs. Gus l toner. 70 mo-" Then she says lan-

A Feminine Sunny Jim.
The very latest is the St. Cecilia gi

The very latest is the st. Cecilia girl.
When she gets up in the morning she
steps to the window and looks out and
says: "Serenity-serenity The
word is supposed to put her mind in
peaceful trim. Before dinner she must
repeat three times the word "tran-
guilty" This will sooth her nerves and
wipe out the memory Of vexations and
at night just before she falls to asleep,
she must repeat 'peace and rest"
Saying these words will drive disquiet-
ing thoughts away, smooth out the
wrinkles and insure sweet sleep.
The st. Cecilia girl is Sunny Jim over
done. 1t is all right to say these words,
but is mother saying them when the
fire refuses to burn and the steak does
burn? 1t may do woman good under
such circumstances to say 'peace and
rest" but from mean mans view there
is word of four letters that is more
effective. -Atchison Globe.

This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent

is dangerous, as frequent and
