they would hurt the feelings of fell

There are men. too. who would do the

stlcklerS for etiquette forget all about
the good manners inspired 10y a healthy
heart and Il good, white soul.
How we are running our heels flat
seeking good looks and beauty, yet we
will never reach the goal in Il hundred
years unless we realize that kindness and

some health and beauty are one and the
same.

beauty amounts to little.

First halfpenny then a gold piece
gave considerable amusement to a
small crowd in the Rue Daunou, Paris.
The former coin was placed on the
pavement and lay untouched for an
hour and half before it was picked
up by an old lady, who carefully placed
it in her reticule, despite the derislve
cheers which were accorded her by
those who were watching.
An American gentleman then placed
twenty franc piece on the ground, and
as pedestrian after pedestrian passed
without seeing it, they were startled
by the uproarious laughter from doors
and windows. They stopped short,
looked confused and then hurried away
with indignant glances at the merry
makers.
The louis was at last picked up by a
bent and feeble old man, who hobbled
of with his treasure amid enthusiastic
cheers.-London Mail.

Advised a Change of Scene.

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia is
noted for the fatherly interest he
takes in the members of the clergy.
but in his shrewd, kindly way he has
the faculty Of administering a rebuke
when it is necessary. A clergyman
who has a parish on the outskirts Of
the Quaker city was noted for the
long periods Of absence that he took
from his parish. 1t occurred so often
that it became a matter of common
talk.
One day this man called on the
archbishop and asked for months
leave of absence, saying that the doc
tor had recommended a change of air
and scene. The archbishop looked up
with a quizzical CLEAN in his eye and
said:
swell, I make the suggestion that
you go back to your parish and stay
there. I think that would be a COM
plete change of air and scenery"

When Congressman Kitchen Of
North Carolina visited a strange town
not long ago he found out that his
razor was badly in need of sharpen
ing. He dropped in at the local bar
ber's shop and gave his razor to the
proprietor, large, fat negro.
'Have it ready by 6 O'clock" the
congressman directed. "I'll come for
it,
He was there at the appointed time,
but the blade had not been sharpened.
''Sorry, boss" said the negro, but
All jes' cudn't get it fixed in time"
'Well, we'll, that's bad" answered
Mr.. Kitchen, 1--WE got to go to party
today"
At this the barber suddenly went
into the back of the shop, and much
to the distinguished visitors surprise,
brought out blade with six or seven
deep notches in it.
Yer, en- use dis, boss" he said,
holding it out.

can do with that razor?"
