A Sore Throat Cure.

If you are sufferer from this very
common malady you may be quickly
benefited by a perfectly delicious and
soothing preparation for sore throat
which is, in fact, lemonade made with
out the addition Of water. Crate the
rind from one lemon, and squeeze the
juice from two over about two heaped
teaspoonfuls of sugar. Be very careful
to CRATE only the yellow, as the white
gives bitter flavor. Add the juice and
the grated rind of an orange. Let this
stand ten or fifteen minutes, and then
strain through cloth. The result is a
syrup with q refreshing and delicious
taste, which quickly assuages the irrita-
ton in tho throat.-Ex.

THE WAY OF A MAN.

"What lot of time and thought
you women do give to hair, said Mr..
Blank, with good-natured raillery, to
his wife one morning when she was
preparing to go down town with him,
and was standing before the glass at
tending to her front hair" IT won
der what would become of my busi-
ness if 1 spent as much time over my
hair as you do over yours"
An hour later Mr.. Blank was sur
veying himself anxiousiy in the mir
ror before him as he sat in chair
at his BARRIERS and the barber was
holding a mirror back of him, while
Mr.. Blank said, eyes guess that will
do. You might take just the least
little bit off the front part of Uy hair
and clip off trifle more just above
my left ear. Seems to me you've
left it little longer there than It is
above my right ear. And think I'll
have you part my hair a little lower
on the left-just a little No, not
that low. A little higher. That
will do. No, don't comb it down
quite so fat, and brush it back more
above the ears. That's better, but
it's still too fiat in front. Here let
me take the comb. Seer like it
combed rather loosely. Let me see
how it looks in the back again. Just
hold that hand mirror back of me
again. Isn't there a hair or two longer
than the other right back of the LETT
ear? Getting thinner and thinner on
top Of my head, isn't itl By Jove
I'd give ten thousand dollars for
something that would keep my hair
from falling out and leaving me bald
Couldn't you comb my hair somehow
so that the bald spot wouldn't show
quite so prominently Yes, I've
tried massage for it. Had my scalp
massaged an hour day once for seven
weeks, and was balder when left Oh
than when began. Yes, you might
powder my neck little, and just twist
the ends of my mustache into some
thing of curl. That will do. Now
do | look all right! Good-day. p

habits and clean face. They need
not know how to roll cigaretts, and
if not up to date on the smutty jokes
of the pool room their ignorance will
be overlooked. They must be boys
who get up cheerfully in the morning
and build the fires, and can lay down
book occasionally to do an errand
who treat mother and sister with
respect, and who do not refer 10 faith
er as the ''old man."
1t is not absolutely essential that
they be brilliant at school, but they
must be studious and ever persever-
ing, never cheating. Their employers
interests must be made their interest,
They must never be afraid of earning
more than the wages they receive.
Merchants want them to sweep out
the store for few years and ultimate
ly to take charge of it !; newspapers
want them to commence with the
crowd at the bottom and work to the
roomy places at the top. In fact
they are wanted everywhere-in the
law room, in the counting room to
run great public works. The public
wants them for judges in the courts,
for senator's and presidents, and the
incest girls in all the world want them
for their husbands.
