HEAVENLY TWINS.

She's got an uppish nose, Dot ty. announced as soon as they were seated comfortably. There was ut ter condemnation of the lady across the aisle in the remark, not that her nose was really so very uppish, but f seemed necessary to begin the cam- raign with a disparaging remark. The twins always began their private feuds with more or less delicate re- marks about each others personal appearance. It saved the bother of waiting for something to fight about.
 Bobby studied the face carefully.
 "lt ain't so awful uppish," he said decisively It ain't so uppish as yours is Your nose he said with judicial slowness. "is just too uppish for anything. It's like this.'
 He placed his thumb against the end of his nose and pressed it into the f1attest kind of a pug.
 Dotty swelled with indignation
 Your nose,' continued Bobby, looks like it had been stepped on,' he considered her nose minute and then addd, "hy phelunt.'
 Tears of pain gathered in Dotty's eyes. and Bobby leaped over and put an arm around her neck
 But I wouldn't mind, Dotty,' he said soothingly, ''it ain't So uppish as it might be. It might be like this" :" He explained his meaning by putting his thumb on Dotty's pink little nose and pushing it violently She wrig- gled valiantly, but her head was firm ly encircled by his arm, and he squeezed it tightly against his coat. Dotty, however, had not fought in- numerable "catch-as-catch-can bat ties for taught, @a1 she clasped her hands beneath his knee and 'boost- ed.

BEING BEATlFUL IS BEING GOOD

The brain beantifier goes in for the intellectual life She is bookWorm and can quote anybody from Maeauly to Bill Nye, Montaigne to Billy Baxter. This. too, is very good, but it sometimes happens that this intel lectual lady has nothing to talk about bevond her own little circuit of stl1f- ies. She doesn't know chiffon velvet from butchers linen, and does her hair after the styles of dagueweo- tyne days. Hers is all brain cultiva- tion. She grows thin and scrawny, forgets her creme marquise, and is just awakening to the fact that dip belts used 10 be worn. The girl who goes in too strong on the intellectual racket is not always the most com panionable woman in the world. Sometimes she's a jewel and q gem, but We are talking now of the ex- treme type who cultiyates her mind and forgets that she has body or heart.
 The heart specialist is the woman whose great charm is in being good, Being good is nothing about which one should brag It's as much duty to be good and decent as it is to take bath every day and comb ones hair. Those who aren't good are weak and lack control, and should be pitied. We all feel terribly sorry for the man who is crippled or the one who is blind but have little sympathy for the one whose mind and soul are ill and distorted and whose conscience is suffering from paralysis.
 A healthy body, a healthy mind, a heart that is doing business and is fully aware of the joys and sorrows of life. what a fine combination, and what a genuinely beautiful ambition it is to cultivate these theree wonder. full powers for wholesome happiness.

ODD ORIENTAL ETIQUETTE.

If there be one thing more than another upon which the Ch.ense pride themselves it is upon their politeness. In spite of the three or four inches which he lacks to make his height equal to that of the average American a Chinese official in full costume car. ries himself with great dignity and se1f-uossessfon and makes an impos- ing figure. In this respect he owes much to his long dress, but more to the patient study of correct car riaoe. There is not a single awkard movement as the Chinese gentleman hows his visitor into the house or supplies him from his own hand with cup of tea, which is indispensa- hle to an interview. Not until his guest is seated will the Chinese host venture t0 take I'D his position on the right hand of the former; and if, in the course of an exciting conversa- ion. he should raise himself, how ever slightly, from his position, it is the duty of the other to do the same. No Chinese gentleman will sit while lis equal stands Occasionally, where it is not intended 10 be oYef-respeet- ful to a visitor, servant will bring in a eup of tea-a cup in each hand Then. standing before his master and the guest, he will cross his arms, serving the guest, who is to the right, with his left hand, his master with the right.
 This tea is not intended for drink ing and is called guest tea It has higher mission than to allay thirst. Unfortunate the man who losses his off before ten words have been ex- changed. The oriental will stamp him as a barbarian. The mission of the tea is to be used by either party as a signal that the interview is at an end. A guest no sooner raises the cup to his his lips than the voices of dozen shout to his coolies to bring his chair So. too, when the master of the house is prevented from longer acting as host he raises the cup to his lfns as if 10 drink the tea and im- mediately the guests chair is called fer
 Strangers meeting in China may freely ask ore another their names, provinces and their business pros, poets. It is always considered a con- Dliment for the Chinaman to ask him lis age. but the middle=aeed do not as rule care for the question, and their answers can rarely be depend ed upon. It is also good form in China to ask the number and sex of a mans children, also if his father and mother are still alive.

 He said that some years before he lal been mining farther down the country in a camp filled with all sorts ef strange characters. His claim was about two miles out Of the mining set clement
 Usually he washed out his gold at the end of each day and took it to the bank. But once it so happened that for two days he was too tired at nightfall to take his gold in. On the evening of the

 After his supper he lighted candle. stuck it on q box and, lying down, sank into the slumber of the healthfully tired. After a time he was awakened by feeling of something cold stealing up his right leg. He did not raise his body, but in the dim light of the candle he was able to make out the lower end of one of the most poisonous snakes in Africa, a snake whose bite is fatal.
 Lee knew that if he moved his leg the snake would bite him, and he lay mo- tionleSs for some time wondering what 10 do. After time it occurred to him if the snake crawled to his abdomen it would surely cause him to move, which would arouse the serpent to strike, so he cautiously reached down and tight cned his belt. which he had oosened

MOTHER
 AND CHILD.

Let the mother take Scott's Emulsion for the two; 1t never fails to benefit them both. One can eat for two, but nour- ishing two is a different thing. It calls for a de- gree of internal strength that the average woman lacks. People of luxury are not very strong by habit; overworked people are weak in some func- tions from exhaustion or their surroundings. Scott's Emulsion can be depend ed upon to overcome such conditions. It is a won derful food for a mother and child.
