1t Helped Business.

An amusing tale comes from Konigs-
berg. A Russian lady, while looking
at the goods in a certain shop, CHANGED
to see a Japanese saucer, which she
took up and flung to the ground, say
ing: so may the cursed Japanese be
treated" The shop assistant quietly
picked up the pieces and, after wrap
ping them in paper, handed them to
the lady, telling her that payment
was expected for them. Much ex-
cited, the Russian once more flung
the china to the floor, this time shout
ing: "And so may the Germans be
treated" This was too much for the
patriotic German saleswoman to stand,
and she replied by dealing the lady a
smart box on the ear, saying: "And
may the Russians ever thus be served"
Great excitement ensued, and the
trade done by the shop has been much
increased by the good Konigsberger's
desire to see and admire their patriotic
fellow citizen.-Chicago Daily News.

HOW KATE BECAME CECILIA
Daughters Little Joke on Her Mother
Provokes Indignation N
Celtic Servant.

Cecilia is a bird. The cooking is de-
licious, and the house was never n bet
ter order"
So wrote the elder daughter of south
side family to her mother who had zone
away for a much-needed rest, believing
that she had left her family in the ten
der care of specially talented and Wel-
recommended domestic engaged to begin
her duties two days after the matron's
departure. For reasons unknown to the
family, Cecilia never materialized, says
the Chicago Daily News
What are you going to write your
mother?" asked paterfamilias, who
knew that daughter was stickler fol
truth. She'll be coming home on the
next train
I'm going to tell her that Cecilia is {
bird" was the answer, land never wa
saying truer since the proverb abou
riches having wings was invented. In
also going to say that all is lovely, ant
if you don't indorse that l won't get III
to get your breakfast any more"
Accordingly glowing accounts o
household affairs, apparently implying
the greatest credit to Cecilia were for
warded to the good woman for two
months. at the end of which time she an
nounced that she was well enough to re
turn home. Then efforts to secure rea
Cecilia" were redoubled, and the morn
ing of the day of the return, a substantial
targe-boney maid-of-all-work was in
stalled in the kitchen.
"And now, where's Cecilia?" asked thu
mother, sweeping toward the kitchen
after an affectionate greeting had beer
exchanged "How do you do, Cecilia? 2
she said, as she opened the door.
"Saysaylia. is it," was the answer
''Do yez take me for an Eye-talian? M,
names Kate"

BELIEVES IN DUELLlNG.
Citizen of New Orleans Insists That
the Code Is Thoroughly
Honorable.

81 was thinking" said New Orleans
citizen, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat; 81 was thinking OF
what a great thing the duel is-how ro-0
mantle, how poetical how honorable!
Ha, may the day of the duel never pass!
1t shall never pass, according to my hum
BILE thinking. sas long. as we have truly
good men in thiks world. know that it is
against the law 10 engage In duel, Nand
the law prohibiting it may be good in
so far is it prevents ignorant and fool
ishly impulsiye amen from inviting ur-
called and unneeA essary disaster.
"Of course. fssi in violation of the law

cuse and justE alton for fight What

speak of duels among truly brave men.
It puts both nj &Fn on the same footing,
gives each the same advantages. One
man is insulted it dance or other social
event and he sl4 bps the aggressor in the
face with his glove. Nothing exceeding
ly violent Happens for further things are
settled. The NEXT day or few days
afterward the lmen meet on the field of
battle. Neither of the men takes ad-
vantage of the other until the time of the
duel comes; on the contrary, the men
shake hands.
Shaking hands il probably the most
appropriate thing the men can do; for
why not shake hands with the man you
are about to kill, or who is about to kill
you. on the field of honor? If you are
going to kill him, certainly it is bad
enough that it has been so decreed, and it
is better to keep silent when the poor
fellows soul is flying to eternity; and
If he is going to kill you, then die with
out very bad feelings toward him, if you
can do this. Now, l am not a man who
believes in bringing about duel upon
a slight provocation; for duel is a very
serious thing and often ends sadly.
Duels have brought about the deaths of
men of many families, and have brought
retribution to many, particularly unnec-
essary duels, brought on by men whose
foolish dreams transported them to
fields of artificial honor.
But duels among truly honorable men
are, repeat, to be justified. And
want to add that 1 do not think laws
can prevent duels any more than laws
can prevent other fights. 1t seems as
though every man likes duels, anyhow.
Read a novel, and much avidity over
takes you when you come across duel in
the moonlight. How you strain your
eyes and ears, catching every moment
listening to every word! Sir, you can
not deny it, you like the duel"

MAN WHOM WOMAN HUNTS
False But Cherished Illusion as to
Which of the Two Is the
Seeker.

One Of the most false and possibly, for
that reason, the most cherished, illusions
of man is the idea that he chooses his
own wife, says writer in the New York
World, when, as a matter of fact, he mere
ly succumbs to young person that has
marked him for her own as inevitably as
smallpox or the black hand.
The much-quoted statement that any
woman can marry any man she wants to
lacks confirmation in fact. But it would
be very much truer if the fair partici-
pants in the man hunt would devote
their attention to particular man in
stead of wasting time in scattering
fire. Very often they undertake too
much, and in trying to bring Tom, Dick
and Harry to the proposal point at once
fail with all three. The same amount
of attention given to one of the trio
would have convinced him that the
dearest woman in the world might, with
a great deal of persuasion, consent to
marry him and make him the most
blessed among his kind.
How this wonderful result is brought
about only the girl knows-though very
often she doesn't know, but is, like the
selected husband, just an obedient pawn
in the hands of her wise and elderly fe-
male relatives. For homely girl WITH
an experienced mother has just about 90
times as great chance to capture man
as pretty girl without one. The prepy
orphan is frequently ingenious enough
to think that the feminine role In courI-
ship consists in breathing Whispered
yes to the most favored of half a dozen
ardent suitors, and so leaves to chanfe
what the wiser maiden accomplishes pv
cold science.
Of course, only widow has the SCI

furnished impecunious reflects II some
kind philanthropists would only eldo"
a school of courship for women AM en-
ploy the widows to give object lesShs IN
subtle love-making to the inexperienced
of their sex.
However, to give reality to he les
sons, men would probably >haveto take
the passive parts in them, whicffate as
signs the prospective husband, in real
life. And in this evert the widows would
probably gobble them up fasterthan the
faculty could supply them. For any

And even t.s6 it would be by no means
certain that she wouldn't get him.

those of us not of that privileged class
can only cudgel our dull wits over the |
"preliminaries of marriage" as they |
were styled in the passionist fathers adj

Pleasure Of Old Age.

Free from the distractions of life,
the aged are at leisure to observe and
admire. Il never knew" said Cor
marc, that the world was beautiful
until / reached old age" This period
was frequently declared by him to be
the most beautiful of his life. Writ
ing at the age of 81, he said that he
felt it his duty to make known to the
world that man could attain an earth
ly paradise after the age of 80; but
only by means of the two virtues, self
restraint and temperance. At that
time he was writing eight hours day,
walking and singing many other
hours, enjoying the beauties of nature,
and abundant in labors for the good
Of mankind.-Good Health.

The Prince and the Judge.

The late Sir Robert Wright, or Mr..
Justice Wright, as he was perhaps
better known, wore garments of the
bucolic pattern when in the country.
1t is related that the Prince of Wales
was once out with shooting party.
of which Sir Robert was one. The
Judge wore his usual farmer-like cos
tune, and his pipe was in full blast.
The prince entered into a conversa-
ton which continued for some min
utes. At the close his royal highness
went up to the host, and asked:
Where did you pick up that extremely
intelligent gamekeeper with whom I
have just been speaking?"-Smith's

Whales on Their HOLIDAYS.

Prof Goldlob has been telling the
Christiania academy of science the re-
suits of his investigations into the mi
grations of whales. These creatures
hang about the coast of Norway and
Finland until the spring is well adj
vanced, and then they go away on
their travels. Some go to the Azores,
others to Bermuda and the Antilles,
and they cover these enormous dis
tances in an incredibly short time.
Some of them bring back harpoons
which bear the names of ships and
other evidences of where these mi.
grants have been for their summer
holidays.-N. Y. World.

HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
If it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains OF
a pernicious habit than to lead for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was
a lover of coffee. Before was out
of my teens l was miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
81 was convinced that 1t was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
l could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of SO was in
very poor health, indeed. My Sister
told me was in danger of becoming
coffee drunkard.
"But l never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although 1t kept

me so when I drank coffee" Name

railroads can be declared Illegal by
the commission.
You know It does not take Tong TO
convince en- editor that he is wrong, IL
you show him. Many who were against
the railroads now see that II would
seriously cripple business to let seven
men control the manufacturing and
producing communities Of the country;
they are beginning to realize what such
power would mean, and that a re-
duction In rates would seriously Inn
pair the revenue OF railroads with the
consequent economies. Some of them
are still hammering away and believe
that they are right. They feel It will
help the people, They do not yet rea-
lie that the farmer does not get the
benefit of a lowered price rate, nor
does the consumer. The grain broker
pockets II.
II find much has been said about dis
elimination between the small and the
larger shipper, meaning, perhaps. the
man who loads the small package al
against the carload lot fellow. Well,
this very commission. to whom they
flee for help under a rate-making stat
ute, have decided that the difference IN
rate is just and legal.
There are many Inconsistencies or
this kind being discuss I'd, and we find
plenty Of answers and proofs IN the
reports OF the commission itself The
work is hard, but 1t Is interesting, prob
ably because the results are more and
more apparent every day.
when the editor finds that the stu
alton is not as he thinks 1t is. and that
business prosperity depends upon rail-
roads caring for and nurturing their
communities, and that rates are not
made arbitrarily, but are as subject
to fluctuation as the thermometer, then
Tie railroads and Congress can get to-
gether and improve the present laws,
