a Fine ConversationaIist.

II was a much confused debutante
who. during her first Washington sea-
son, suffered agonies of torture from
self consciousness One day she met
the late Secretary Hay at a reception
Her embarrassment was evident and
in striking contrast TO the ease of the
Secretary and his two daughters.
Tell me what to say and how to say
it." she whispered TO the Secretary as
he shook hands with her.
With ready wit he responded: Say
the same things that people say to
you. Then listen closely"
The girl did as she was hidden.
When people said, How do you do?'
she replied, How do you do?' When
they said, $50 glad to see you, she
simply repeated the formula. One
after another Of the sentences she
managed to stumble through. And as
she went along ease began TO- come to
her and she noticed that people con-
versed with her. She said so little
and listened so much. At the close of
the evening she had the satisfaction
Of hearing some one say What a
brilliant girl is Miss Y. She is such
a fine conversationalist."

The Dod STAYED.

A young business man of Harlem,
who didn't love dogs, surprised his
wife the other night - bringing home
disreputable looking, half-starved
mongrel.
Now it's all right" he told her.
This dog is going to stay here, and |
think when you hear the circum-
stances you won't object. About three
blocks away from the house this dog
deliberately stopped in front OF me.
The beast looked as if he had not
eaten for days, never had a home and
had been kicked and cuffed by nearly
everyone. He looked at me in such
an appealing way that | couldn't help
STOPPING down and patting him once
or twice on the head.
81 thought no more about the mat
ter and continued on my way home.
When | had gone block or so | sud
denly felt something cold and wet
against my hand, and turning around,
| saw this poor beast, out of gratitude
for my having just patted him on the
head, licning my hand.
after this dog gets a few meals
and a wash he will look very different
from the way he looks now. Anyway
! want him to stay.
The dog stayed-New York Sun.

Passengers Without Money in Russia.
He was a Russian and wanted to
go back to his native heath So he
dropped into the ticket Office and en-
broiled Passenger Agent Charlie
Miles in a debate on the reasonable
ness Of second class rates to New
York.
"Say, mister, please, you make it a
little bit less, please, and tomorrow
I come in and buy the ticket" said
the subject of the Gar. "You charge
too much. Sure, you can believe me

In the interchange OF amenities at
q recent banquet given to the French
naval officers In London Premier Bal
four gave utterance to what We are
glad to believe is a truth. and il SO a
very gratifying one. Speaking OF the
new and cordial relations that had
been established between the nations
represented by guests and hosts, he
said: There have been times when
the idea of national friendship except
ing for the purpose of annoying some
third party hardly came within the
view of practical politicians, but glad
am TO think that these days are now
gone" Loud applause greeted this
statement. He might even have put
the matter in a positive and yet
stronger way by saying that hardly IL
ever before had there been time
when any other consideration than
that of temporary eXpediency was
made the basis of an entente cordiale
between nations-Bo Boston Transcript.

A Far-Seeinq Scot.

The following story is told Of an
eccentric Scottish keeper on an estate
in the north of Scotland:
He was once guiding a shooting par
ty up near the top of steep and high
mountain. Suddenly, when they had
reached great height, one of the
heaters gave loud yell, and seized
himself by the back of the neck.
Through his interlocked white fingers
bright blood oozed. The man had
been peppered with stray shot in the
nape.
The keeper, seeing the blood, and
thinking the accident much worse
than it really was, bawled out excit-
eddy
"Rin, Dugald! Rim doom the hill!
Heaven only kens hoo far We'll haze
to CARRY ye!"

Miseriy Millionaire.

To the average man that racks his
brain to make domestic ends meet on
$40 or SIS a week there is something
startling in the light recently thrown
on the life and habits Of Mr.. samuel
Dunlap, the octOgenarian millionaire,
who died a few weeks ago in London
Mr.. Dunlap's housekeeper declares,
among many other strange things, that
during forty years this owner Of mil
lions purchased only one suit Of
clothes. a cheap pair of gray trousers
and two overcoats; while four straw
hats. at a shilling each, were all the
head covering required for sixteen
years.
Once a month the housekeeper cut
his hair; and that his locks should not
be wasted she had orders to stuff mat
tresses with them. When his frock
coat became frayed and green Mrs.
Ealden cut off it's tails and converted
It, for several years further use, into
a jacket; while her master would
never have his shoes BACKED or his
clothes brushed for fear of wearing g
them out.

The Other Mans Hat.

10 the hurry and hustle Of Life's busy
ways,
With the strangers we meet and the
friends that we greet,
How seldom we think that the saddest
of days
May encompass some soul whom we
hail on the street
Tho faces are cheerful and hand-clasps
are strong,
And smiles are so ready-th there's moth
ing in that.
How little we know, as we're passing
along,
OF what's going on meath the other
mans hat.
Our trials and grlefs are so hard to be
borne,
Our worries are constantly dragging
us down;
There are none who can possibly be so
forlorn:
Yet we mask with smile when We
should wear frown.
We envy our fellows so free from all
care.
They haven't trial we're sure about
that.
Perhaps we'd go crazy if we had to pear
The trouble that lies meath the other
mans hat.

DR.. savase's Eugene Field Story.

The Rev. Minot J. Savage, on being
introduced to speak before large
Boston assembly a short time since,
told story about Eugene Field and
vouched for its truth, because he
heard Seth Low tell it.
Field sat down at table in a
New York restaurant and presently
was approached by a voluble waiter.
who began to rapidly enumerate the
articles upon the Coffee-tea-
chocolate ham'n eggs-beefsteakmutton
chop-fshballs-h hash 'n-beans," etc. Field
looked at him with fixed eye and sol
emn visage, and said with marked de-
liberation: 81 want none of these
things. All desire is one orange and
a few kind words"
Now" observed DR.. Savage, Il
don't know as l can bring to you the
flavor OF an orange but ! feel sure
can serve you with few kind words.

Snake Coiled in Bed.

When Mr. and Mrs. Mord Lincoln
awakened Friday morning at their
home in Midtown, on the Southern,
twenty-five miles west Of New Albany,
they were startled to find a huge
blacksnake coiled at the foot of the
bed.
Lincoln kicked the reptile to the
floor. and after lively fight managed
to kill it by hitting it on the head with
chair Mrs. Lincoln was so badly
frightened that she has since been suf-
fering from nervous prostration
The door of the house had been left
open on account Of the heat, and it
is supposed the snake glided in from
the yard. and. finding that the foot Of
the bed afforded comfortable quarters,
coiled itself there.-I.ouisville Courier

Plain as Day.

Blanche and Harry, aged and 6
respectively, were very fond of maple
sugar.
Blanche, being of an inquisitive turn
OF mind, asked her mother how it was
made.
The mother explained how maple
trees were tapped and the sugar made
from the sap.
The explanation was not convincing
TO Blanche. however, and she asked
her brother if he believed il.
Harry, who never doubted anything
his mother said, Immediately replied:
"Why, of course; you tap maple trees
and get maple sugar just the same as
you tap an oak tree and get tapioca."

Samuel Orr, the only son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Orr, was born on the old
homestead November 9, lS47, and de-
parted this life October q, 1905, being
nearly So years OF age.
10 1877 he was married to Eva Lee.
To them were born five children, three
girls and two boys, all who have helped
care for him; but especially would we
mention the faithfulness of the two sons
and the daughter who had the oppor-
tunity of ministering to his daily needs.
All were here to mourn the loss OF an
ever loving and sympathizing father and
husband He leaves wife and an aged
mother who will miss the vacant place
in the home.
Mr.. Orr has been patient sufferer for
months, and long since had given up
hoping to live, and as the links of life
and activity were one by one sundered
he turned to his God who gave him
assurance of something better beyond,
and he often expressed a wish for the
change to come.
During the years of his life, his neigh
bors have always found him kind, sym
pathizing aud obliging, often forgetting
self to help in time of need and sorrow
Many a wanderer has found hospitality
under his roof for day or month as
the case might be.
We have lain him to rest, and shed
the sympathetic tear to his memory
knowing that Earth has no sorrow that
Heaven cannot heal"

FAT AS INSANITY ANTlDOTE
Opinion of Medical Journal Has
Aroused Establishment.

Aroused Englishmen.
Are the majority of folk OF weak
intellect? Is insanity on the increase?
Are we all preparing ourselves for
lunatic asylums? These startling ques-
tons have occurred to me after read
ing an article in a medical journal
on the gospel of fat as applied to the
treatment of mental disease" 1t
seems that the more you fatten up
the mentally afflicted the saner they
become; but, of course, the difficulty
lies in providing the lunatic with
adipose tissue, as there is nothing Ike
brain disease TO cause too, too SOLID
flesh TO melt.
The aim of most OF us nowadays is
to keep down what our transatlantic
friends. with their genius for using
the ugliest word for everything, I'M
compromisingly call flesh" We battle,
we massage, we diet, we fly to THESE
and those waters, we try all manner
OF cures, and put ourselves into vari-
Gus kinds of straps and pastes, ana
take violent exercise with the aim OF
fning ourselves down and keeping
stoutness at bay.
Does this decided disposition on
the part of men and women to avoid
corpulence, and the successful thin
ming down" that we notice on all
sides, portend increase of lunacy? If
so, dieting and the taking of waters
and massage ought TO be forbidden
by act of Parliament. BY the way,

but he was certainly far from sane

Pitched too Hob for the Choir.

A good many years ago. before the
late Dan w. Palmer moved from
Georgetown to East Boston, he was a
choir member and played a musical
instrument in the church al the for
mer place. Some weeks after his re-
moval the tenor singer Of his old choir
came up TO visit him. The first ques-

went in the choir.
"They don't 60 worth a cent" was
the reply. "The new leader we've got
pitches the tunes so high that you
couldn't play the bass on fife. "-Bos-

JEALOUS OF WoMEN's FINERY.
New Charge Brought Against the
Generation Of Men.

A lady writing in a daily paper at
tacks man for a weakness which he
has hitherto considered the peculiar
much given, according TO this lady,
Ito finding food for thought and tar
get for ridicule in contemplation OF
the doings of that mysterious entity
which decides upon the changes in
feminine fashions" Whereas all the
time it is jealousy which prompts his
gibes The fact is that he would real
ly like to change his own fashions
as frequently, only he is not allowed
to do so by some unwritten law. And
this is pathos. He may try TO conceal
the fact, but, says our authority, ever
he yearns In secret for the golden
days of masculine dress, when for
tunate man basked in the sunshine of
velvet and fine lace" II is quite true.
The secret is out at last. We can
no longer keep up a pretense of being
satisfied with life. Why should we go
about making the world hideous with
our black coats and corrugated trous-
ers? Why should we not look noble
and dashing? For over a quarter or
a century man has had no change Of
costume, in manner of speaking
Always the same dull monotonous
round of blacks and grays. Why does
not some hero walk down Bond street
in a mauve frock coat or a crimson
lounge suit? At present it is only
in our sportive moments, at golf or
cricket, that we can escape from the
trawmels. Why should we not wear
striped blazers in ordinary life?-Lon-
don Globe.
