He Was Not Suited.

In a certain clothing store in this
city it has been the custom for the
employees to treat customers with
more courtesy than is usually the
case in large stores. A suave sales
man is stationed at the door with in
structions not to allow a customer to
depart without ascertaining if the pur-
chase has been satisfactory. The
other day a gruff and d~yspeptic man
started to go out the door when he
was stopped by the query from the
polite salesman;
did you get suited, sir?"
mo" answered the man in a surly
manner, Il didn't get suited; 1 got
hated and shoed. "-Philadelphia

True DeIicacy.

painter, was talking in his New York
studio about delicacy.

said, "but despite poverty, /
always managed TO be delicate, tact
full and polite. l often had to put off
creditors. / often had to do many
other ~disagreeable things, but | al
ways did them in a delicate way.
Once, for instance, | ordered a FIVE
cent plate of soup in a Bowery res
taurant. When the waitress brought
this soup to me its condition was such
that I felt called upon to rebuke her.

terms.
Emma l said, taking something
out of the soup and holding it up be-
fore the girl, 4 am grateful to you for
this remembrance, but next time kind

Healthy place to Live.

st. Vincent de Tyrosse. a French
village with a population of some five
hundred people, must be a healthy
place to live, if the old age of its in
habitants is any criterion. On a single
day recently no less than five couples
of the village celebrated their golden
wedding together.
The five couples have a combined
age of 765 years, and are named Oar
cant, Fabes, Latailade, Fortabat and
Coustets. A sixth couple in the vii
lage only. lacked a few months of be-
ing able to join in the celebration. All
of the parties concerned are agricul-
tural laborers, and they are all in
good health, and every day finds
them at their usual tasks.

MIRRORS COVER HIS WALLS.
Rich Man Says They Teach Grace to
Members Of His Family.

Members of His Family.
A rich man has the walls of his
house covered with mirrors instead of
pictures. In every room he can see
himself in profile, from the rear, from
the left, from the right-in twenty
different ways. He claims that these
mirrors promote grace. He asserts
he has these mirrors on his children's
account.
Mirrors, according to this mans
view, do not promote vanity. They
promote self-study and, in conse-
quence, self-improvement.
If a young girl is round-shouldered
she is hardly aware of her defect in
The ordinary course of life, but IL she
lived in a home lined with mirrors
she would see all the time the ugly,
slovenly curve of her back, and, NOR
titled and grieved, she would at once
set to work with suitable exercises to
become straight.
All sorts of ugly habits-ugly ways
CT sitting, of standing, of smiling, of
gesturing-are pictured in a true and
unf1attering way by mirrors. The av-
erage man or woman, perceiving these
i~glinesses, would set to work to re-
move them. The trouble is, accord
iEg to the rich man, that the average
person does not perceive his several
rglinesses and no one is frank enough
to point them out to him.
This i%nnovator, opposing holly the
contention that fnfrrnp- fDCtar vonffu
looks at himself at home nearly all
the time, and continually he urges his
children to look at themselves, to
study themselves and to try daily to
improve in grace.

many times women call OF their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,

separate and distinct diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality they are
all only symptoms caused by some womb
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the

tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets nc better, bat proba-
