Irritant Drugs.

The use Of tea and coffee, says an
authority, who includes tobacco as we'll,
is injurious and ought not to be in
dulged in by those who seek to place
themselves In the best condition to re-
sist disease, because they belong in the
category Of irritant drugs. These, by
rousing the vital forces to get rid of
the poison, provoke the action which is
mistaklngly supposed to be an added
force, whereas this action is only one
of self preservation. 1t will readily
be seen how much supporting and
building up Of the system there are In
such substances by trying to live on
them to the exclusion of other things.
The result would prove the absurdity
Of the idea.

HOW BROKERS WORK.
Four Different Kinds of Operators
Who Execute Orders.

-Four Different Kinds of OPERATOR
Who Execute Orders.
Let's see what broker is exactly.
He's the man whose services you must
seek IL you wish to buy or sell stocks.
You can't do thing in Wall street
without that broker. You can't fill
your own orders in Wall street any
more than you can fill your own teeth.
The broker is to you as speculator
what dentist is to you as man with
toothache.
Stock Exchange are conducted by four
groups-frst, by individual spectators
who trade ON their own account, and
these OF course are members OF the ex-
change; second. by brokers who lend
money for banks; third. by commission
houses which buy and sell bonds and
stocks for persons not members Of the
exchange, and, fourth. by specialists
who are also called floor brokers, and
oftentimes dollar brokers'" or two
dollar brokers'" and who execute Or
ders for commission houses. In turn,
commission houses are Of two kinds
those that conduct one home Office and
many branch offices connected by pri-
vate wire, and those that conduct a
local and mail business.
To broker in one Of these classes
your order is given. In executing your
orders and those of others the brokers'
earnings may be any sum from $40
more usually $100-to thousands day.

The Pension. of Europe,

A traveller who has toured Europe
with his wife at "a day for the two
declares that the pensions are the base
OF his cheap travel. In every CONT
mental city visited they easily found
delightful pensions at 81 20 day each
The pensions have not the style and
display of the hotels, but they have all
the comfort and the servants fees are
fewer and smaller. Breakfast includes
bread and coffee, nothing more.
Luncheon and dinner are course meals
very much alike. Some one in the house
always speaks English.

DIPLOMACY.
A Polite Business Very Much Like
the Practice of Law.

Dinlomacy is matter OF business.
though a polite business, hedged ABOUT
by etiquette and forms and adorned
with few frills. Get behind the I'M
rerle and the lingo and go to the heart
OF the thing and you will find It very
much like the practice or law. Inc
man with the best case ought to win,
and when he doesn't and the man with
the poorer case does win 1t is because
he is the better man and knows bet
ter how to present his case and how
to handle 1t. There is another popu-
lar notion that the American diplomat
ic establishment is weak because our
representatives abroad contend with
men trained all their lives in the diplo-
matte school. We have no permanent
diplomatic establishment. Our am
bassadors and ministers abroad are
pIcked from law offices, editorial rooms
and even counting rooms. Usually
they have had no previous acquaint-
ance with diplomatic work. Yet nine
times out of ten they are more than
match for the men they have to deal
with abroad Breadth and strength Of
character, knowledge Of human nature
and experience gained in the rough
and tumble Of life count for quite as
much as the other fellows dilettante
culture 1t is the judgment of the
best observers throughout the world
that our successful American lawyers
and editors easily hold their own
against their competitors. - Walter
Wellman in Success.

READING HABITS.
Vou Must Cultivate system II You
Would Improve Your Mind.

The mind is very delicate, compli-
satcd piece Of mechanism. and, al
though made to do IL certain kind Of
work marvelously well. yet, when put
to an entirely different use. its eff
cheney is ruined. just as the delicate
machinery intended for producing fine
watch parts would be completely spoil
ed for this purpose il used to make
clock parts. When the mind becomes
detected to a certain extent from its
normal condition by the vicious read
ing habit it diverges more and more
and rarely goes back to the normal.
BY desultory habits of reading and
lack of system you confuse the mind
with a large mass Of unclassit1ed mate
rial. You pick up book and read Il
few pages and then pick up another
one and then go from that to paper
or magazine. This puts the mind in
chaotic state. because you let every
thing run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans.
Systemless reading Is profitless. You
cannot gain knowledge Of friend or
priZe MS lrleHuSulp ny nasty Hlst
impression. so In reading book you
cannot gain everlasting good by skim
ming over its contents or by reading
a few pages one night and then put
ting 1t on shelf to gather dust until
you get time 10 read 1t again. Every
thing comes out of the mind as it went
In, and if it does not enter in an or.
derly manner it will come out In chaos.

A Simple Man,

1t takes a neighbor to disentangle q
man from handsome setting A good

miles, in response to widely scattered
notices, to hear the poet laureate ad-
dress meeting. When he discovered

To Tell II Horses Arc.

The age of horse cannot always be
told by looking Mt its teeth. After the
eighth year the horse has no more new
teeth so that this method is useless for
horse which is more than eight years
OLD. AS soon as the set of teeth is
complete, however, wrinkle begins
TO appear on the edge of the lower eve
I'D, and another wrinkle Is added each
year, so that to get at the age of y
morse more than eight years old YOU
must count the teeth plus the wrinkles

The shillalah, accounted Irelands ma

The approach of the meal was often

that wayfarers might hasten their

Curiously enough. grace was said be-

attendants as they spread the cloths

vessels and other necessaries. To
wait on others at table was considered
rather honorable than otherwise, and
the story of the Black Prince attend
