RuvInn a Good Enrtune-

Four little green birds sat on a cage
fronted with a tray. The tray held
folded slips of paper. A man carried
the whole. He strolled east in Grand
street, near Mulberry. A woman,
swarthy of complexion and with n
shawl drawn around her head and
shoulders, looked at the birds and
hesitated in her walk. The man. keen
to notice any indication of trade, saw
her hesitancy.
Fortune. lady?" he asked.
The woman stopped and passed a
coin to his hand. He lifted bird from
its perch and placed 1t on the edge of
the tray. The bird picked up folded
slip of paper. The man took the paper
and handed it to the woman. The
woman opened 1t, read. smiled, and
passed on. The man nodded approv-
ingly.

InteIIioence and Brain weiaht.

The intelligence of a man is stated

male brain weighs on an average 1,400
grammes and the female brain 1,200
grammes between the ages of twenty
and sixty. he has gathered the follow

the brains of 235 persons, differing

In the car eyed her clothes closely.
There said a man to his wife who
was making close inventory of the

such interest in other women's
clothes. You see it everywhere-in
parlors, at receptions and balls and
public conveyances. You never see
men acting that way. l am inclined
to believe this is owing to mems finer
Judgment as to what is proper. They
know that to take note of another's
dress is the height of bad manners,
and they abstain from doing it,"
IT'S very nice of you, of course, to
praise your own sex So" said his wife

is practically a dressmaker. and when
she sees a dress she views IT with the
