THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Arc Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t Is the simple life that gives
length of days, serenity of mind and
body and tranquility OF soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their eXperiences-they climb too
high and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
Il have been using GrapeNuts for
about six months. began rather SPAR

whatever, but Grape-Nuts for break

Exclusive RELIGIOUS Circles.

There is a good deal of comment
just now on the exclusive attitude Of
certain New York churches. In some
it is impossible to purchase a pew or
even a sitting. The demand for pews
in Grace church is so great that
names have been on the waiting list
for years. In several other fashion.
able houses of worship the condition
is the same. Some newcomers of
great wealth. eager to touch elbows
with the most orthodox OF respectable
ity, secure pews by suitcase, but this
is costly kind of enterprise. 1t is
not uncommon to hear of pews sell
ing for 81, 500 or more, Indeed, with
in a week or two pew 40 of Grace
church sold for 81 500. In St Thorn
as church single sittings sell for
$3.50.

How We Catch Cold.

The rationale of the causation of
the ordinary cold" is pretty well I'M
derstood at the present Cay, and it is
generally conceded that when circu-
latory disturbances or vital depres-
sions are produced as the result of
localized or general chilling of the
body surface, newly entered or already
present pathogenic bacteria are en-
abled to attack the body with very
good chances of success. At such
times it is said that the powers of
resistance are below par, and, conse-
quently, the bacteri;- gain an easy
victory This point was illustrated in
telling fashion by Durck, who found
that rabbits infected with pneumococ-
eli developed pneumonia if they were
subjected to severe cold, whereas I'M
chilled control animals survived

JOKE ON PARIS LAWYERS.
Members of the Bar Supposed to
Work Only for Justice.


Work Only for Justice.
The wits of the Boulevards have
been furnished with a fruitful topic
by the civil court of Paris, which has
ordered a lawyer to return the greater
part of the fees he received in GER
tain case.
1t is not in the enforced return of
the money, however, that the humor
lies, but in the ground on which the
court based it's action. M. j. Cornely,
who records the incident, says the
Judge declared that members of the
bar there work for justice, not for
money, and have no legal claim TO
one sou for services!
This, it appears, has been a hallow-
ed fiction since the days of st. Louis
and we can well believe that it's re-
crudescence at this time as judicial
act has caused a commotion among
the lawyers of Paris.

CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN.
Gorgeous Raiment Necessity for

Gorgeous Raiment a Necessity for
Those in Authority.
There is no power without clothes.
1t is the power that governs the hui
man race. Strip its chiefs to the skin,
and no state could be governed; naked
officials could exercise no authority;
they would look (and be- like every
body e-commonplace, inconsequen-
tial. A policeman in plan clothes is
one man, in his uniform he is ten.
Clothes and titles are the most potent
thing, the most formidable influence
in the earth. They move the human
race to willing and spontaneous re-
spect for the judge, the general, the
admiral, the bishop. the ambassador,
the frivolous earl, the idiot duke, the
sultan the king, the emperor. No
great title is efficient without clothes
to support it. In naked tribes of saw
ages the kings wear some kind of
rag or decoration which they make
sacred to themselves and allow no one
else to wear The king or the great
Fan tribe wears a bit of leopard skin
on his SHOULDN'T is sacred to royal
ty; the rest of him is perfectly naked
Without this bit of leopard skin to
awe and impress the people he would
not be able to keep his job.-"Marli

The City of Mexico has been doing
business for about $50 years. There
is probably no capital in the civilized
world that during the same period has
been the center of more wars of con-
quest or revolution, and yet, through
all the troublesome days of these CEN
turtles, this city has maintained it's
financial reputation free from blemish.
Kings have come and gone, viceroy
has succeeded viceroy, emperors have
llourished for a brief regime and

presidency, loans have been forced
