Sneeze SAYINGS.

In nearly every language in the
world there is an equivalent for God
bless you," when any one sneezes, for
the same superstition in regard to it
holds good in avery country. To this
salutation in France there is added
sometimes the phrase, "and preserve
you from the fate of Tycho Brahe,"
who is believed to have escaped a
death of cold by single sneeze-
which killed him. In England q regu-
lar formula is, "Once for a wish, twice
for a kiss, three times tor letter and
four times for disappointment" In
Italy the regular salutation is simply
"Felicita,' or May you be fortunate"
In India when one sneeZes it is the
custom to say May you live and the
reply runs Long life to you." In an
cient times, the Romans, holding tie
idea that sneeZing between noon and
midnight was a good omen, believed
that between midnight and noon was a
bad omen, and ii they should chance
to sneeze while getting up in the
morning they would at once -et into
bed again. The Germans say Good
health because they maintain that
srcezing is warning of approaching
catarrh and also marks the moment
when a charm, wish or suggestion
may drive it away.

WAYS OF THE "BoRN FxER."
Never Any Use to interiors, Says
Woman Who Knows,

"Ore Of the easiest ways to get over

the woman who had just returned to
her home after a summer cutting. Our
clock, which has done good work for
four years, naturally stopped while
we were away. when l wound it tie
pendulum refused to swing. William
told me to let it alone until he hal
time to fix it.
One evening after dinner William
took down the clock. Hc told the SER
want to bring him the kerosene oil
can. He poured half the contents of
the can down the back OF the clock.
Incidentally he ruined the tablecloth
and his trousers. But l didn't mind
that. 1t never pays to interfere with
4 born fiXer when he's fixing some
thing.
After William had tinkered with
the timeriecc for an hour he decided
TO wait until the next night. When
he had some down town next morn
ing l took it to a clockmaker.
JimmiDy!' he exclaimed, who's
been monkeying with this? To rem
edy the original trouble would have
cost forty cents. Now you'll want a
new face, since this one is soaked
with oil. You're in for $3.50 all right.

Nearest to Gladstone.

The relations which existed be-
tween Gladstone and John Morley
during the latter years OF tie Grand
Old Mans life are interestingly de-
scribed by Sydney Brooks. writing in
Harper's Weekly, who is soon to visit
America for the first time. No one
in the latter years OF his life stood
so close to Gladstone as Mr.. Morley,
says Mr.. Brooks; no one perhaps in
fiuenced Gladstone SO strongly. The
two men met on the common ground
of character rather than of opinions
or temperament. Between Gladstone
the believer and Morley the agnostic
Gladstone the irreprcssible optimist
and Morley the painful, unwilling
doubter, Gladstone the impulsive and
Morley the self-suppressed, Gladstone
the bonvivant, the dinerout and Nor
ley the ascetic, there was a gulf that
only each mans recognition of the
others intrinsic loitiness could
bridge"

Industrial Barbarism.

Progress day by day teaches us how
barbarous are some Of our industrial
methods, says the Lancet. What can
be more hideous to the sight than a
forest of factory chimneys, and after
all, the chimney is mans simple but
clumsy design for the creation Of
draft, and the landscape must be
marrcd because the manufacturer
wants an abundant supply of oxygen
to feed his furnace fires. There is
some hope, however, that the factory
chimney may soon give way in favor
of a system of forced draft. Already
destructors, which have hitherto sad
ly disfsured many a picturesque spot
on account of their ugly chimney
shaft. are being constructed without 4
chimney A simple method Of forced
draft replaces the function of the Of
fensive shaft, and not only is it more
effectual for purposes of combustion,
but it reduces the immense cost en-
tailed in constructing chimney stack
100 feet or SO high.
