The Gentle Art Of Listening.

There never lived a girl.who did
not in the depths Of her heart long
for that indefnable attraction call
ed charm. The Youths Com
panion suggests how this may be
obtained.
A young girl just entering the
world is said to have asked Sydney
Smith how she could become a
charming woman of society.
There is a very short way, " he
replied. Now, listen.
She waited a moment aud then
said: Go on.
That is all, said the witty
dean. Listen"

David Francis Highly Decorated

David r. Francis, president of
the worlds fair, is probably the
most deliberately decorated man in
America. Kings, princes and po-
tentates have showered decorations
upon him until, if he wore them
all at once, he would glitter like a
circus wagon. Among the LOT are
the read eagle of Prussia, the crown
of Italy, the Leopold 7, of Bel
GUM, the sun and the lion of
Persia, the double dragon of China
and the cross of the Legion of
Honor of France.

Modern Ways in Japan.

Japan long since copied Em opean
methods of warfare to excellent pur-
pose. To-day she is adopting the fri
volties. Until recently jewelry, for in
stance, was tabooed, but now even gen.
tlemen are often seen with thick
gold ring, made out of an old Japanese
coin called "koban." The study of the
introduction of new custom is inter-
esting. AS to kissing, it is rather a
delicate subject to'touch upon, but it
cannot be dismissed with a general
statement that Gin affection and love
the Japanese are outwardly undelnon-
strative." All depends upon circum-
stances. kissing as practised in the
west is still strange to them, but no
one who knows about it would wonder
if a young couple of modern Japan
should take to it to express their love.

Paris, France.-My Dear Uncle Ezra:
Dad is in an awful state here, and I
do not know what to do with him.
We struck this town all in a heap,
and the people seemed to be paralyzed
so they couldn't speak, except to
make motions and make noises that
We could not interpret. This is the
first time dad and l have been in a
place where nobody understood our
language. Ordinarily we would take
pleasure in teaching people to speak
the English language, but in coming
across the English channel dad and l
both got something we never got on
the water before. Ordinary seasick-
ness is only an incident, that makes

with one hand, had gone through dad 8
pockets with the other. Dad felt for
his watch, to see what time it was, and
his watch was gone, and the waiter was
waiting for the money and dad tried
to explain that he had been buncoed
and the head waiter came and begun
to act sassy, and then they called a
policeman to stay by us till the money
was produced, and everybody at the
other tables laughed, and dad turned
blue, and thought he would have q
fit. Finally, the guide began to talk.
and the result was that policeman
went home with us, and dad found
money enough to pay the bill, but he
talked language that caused the land
lady to ask us to find q new place.
The next morning the guide showed
up with an officer who had a warrant
for dad for hugging woman in pub
lie cafe, and it seemed as though we
We're in for it, but the guide said he
could settle the whole business by pay
ing the officer $40, and dad paid it and
think the guide and the officer divided
the money. Say, this is the greatest
town We have struck yet for excite
ment, and I guess dad will not have a
chance to think of his sickness.
This morning we went into big
department store, and, by gosh! we
found the count that dad was going to
fight was floor-walker, and the coun-
tess was behind q counter SELL
ing soap. When dad saw the
count leering at him, he put his hand
on his pistol pocket and yelled regu-
lar cowboy yell, and the count rushed
down into the basement, the soap coun-
tess tainted, and the police took dad to
the police station, and all day the
guide and I have been trying to get
him out on bail. If we get dad out Of
this we are going to put muzzle ON
him. Well, if anyone asks you if I am
having much of time abroad, you can
tell them the particulars.
p. S.-We got dad out for $40 and
costs, and he says he will blow Paris
up before night. We are going up to
the top of. the Eiffel tower this after
noon, to count our money, as dad das-
sent take out his pocketbook anywhere
on the ground for fear of being robbed.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound moro successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who Is in good physical
condition transmits to her children tho
blessings of . good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for q
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinlsham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be . great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at
