A Wardrobe In a Hat.

Grandfather De Voc is an artist who
appreciates fine millinery. His young
married daughter, however, was prac-
ticing domestic economy when hat,
beautiful creation in real lace, ar
rived for little Elise from her devoted
grandparent, whose eye had sur.
rendered to this bit of baby apparel
the moment he saw it in a department
store.
"That hat is entirely too extravagant
for this family" remarked the young
mother. "I'll take it back and see
what I can do"
A few days later the grandfather
called to see the baby in the new hat.
do let me see how she looks in it,
he said. "And how did you like it?"
Every much, father, thank you. They
gave me two hats, two dresses, a
sweater and 80 cents in change for it,

Signs Of Long Life.

In view Of the diversified testimony
Of present day centenarians on the sub
ject Of longevity and its causes, it is
interesting to get little light on the
subject from Queen Elizabeth's time.
Bacon took a deep interest in lon
gevity and its earmarks," says ply
sician, 'and Bacon's signs of long life
and Of short life are as true today as
they ever were. You won't live long,
Bacon pointed out, If you have soft,
fine hair, a fine skin, quick growth,
large head, early corpulence, short
neck, small mouth, brittle and separat-
ed teeth and fat ears. Your life, bar
ring accidents, will be very lengthy If
you have slow growth, coarse hair, a
rough skin, deep wrinkles in the fore
head, firm flesh, a large mouth, wide
nostrils, strong teeth set close together
and hard, grisly ear

PsyehoIoaieaiIy Explained,

Mrs. Flaherty, who earns her living
and maintains two clean little rooms
In an uptown tenement by going out
to do washing and days work, has
been widow for many years. and en-
tertains strong prejudice against
marriage for any but the young. "'Tis
all right at that time o. life," she
maintains, "but not for old people with
gray hairs. Then it's unsuitable and
the height o. foolishness." Holding
these opinions as she does, it was a
severe shock to Mrs. Flaherty to learn
that one of her best customers,
widow of threescore and ten, was
about to be married for the second
time. Almost tearfully she confided
her sentiments to another patron.
'Think of it! Her a-fiXin' all them
fine clothes and takin' as much pride
in it as if she was to be a bride of
twenty instead of an old woman that'll
never see seventy again! Why" and
her voice dropped to an awed whis-
per, ''at her time o. life I believe tits
the ravin' O. death is on the womanw

Who Era piaxolo. Mas.

Fra Diavolo was the nickname given
Michele Pezza, celebrated renegade
monk and Italian brigand, who was
born In 1870. 1t should be noted that
the opera of Auber has nothing in com.
mon with Fra Diavolo but the name
Pezza was first stocking weaver,
then soldier in the Neapolitan army,
then soldier in the pope's service, and
finally he became monk, but was ex-
PEELED. In the mountains Of Calabria
Pezza took to brigandage, and such
was his notoriety and so great were his
cruelties that the people nlcknamed
him Fra Diavolo. It Is consoling to
know that he was eventually executed

A Scotch Excuse.

A canny Scot was brought before a
magistrate on the charge of being
drunk and disorderly. "What have
you to say for yourself, STRIP demanded
the magistrate. "You look like re.
spectacle man and ought to be asham-
ed to stand there"
II am vera sorry, sir, but cam
up in bad company fra GLASGOW"
humbly replied the prisoner.
What sort Of company?''
"a lot Of teetotalersy' was the star
Ting response.

bad company" Numbered the magis-

company for such as you.'

Quay and His Letters,

The late Senator M. s. Quay Of Penn
sylvania kept all the letters his constit-
uents wrote to him asking for favors.
He had stacks Of them when his last
fight for the senate came along. Then
he sorted out the letters, eliminating
those from people who were dead, and
on the back of each letter wrote:
Dear John or Bill-Do you remember
when you wrote me this letter and do you
remember that did what was asked7
want your help now in my fight for the
senate. Can have it?
The politicians in Pennsylvania say
those letters, mailed to the original
senders with Quay's request on the
backs of them, had as much as any one
thing to do with Quay's winning his

The Claw of the Devil.

In the middle ages people recognized
witches and possessed persons by seek
ing on their bodies for what was called
the claws of the devil. 1t was a more
or less extensive part Of the skin In
which the subject was insensible to
any touch or prick. The expert lntrust-
ed with this work would close the eyes
Of the subject and, armed with a sharp
needle, prick here and there the differ
ent parts of the body. The sufferer
was to answer with a cry to each
prick, and the claw Of the devil on
certain spot was recognized from the
fact that he did not cry when this spot
was examined. - From 1.-THE Major
Symptoms Of Hysteria," by Pierre
Janet.

Mixed Liquors Barred.

Rory MacSnory was the village
blacksmith and one Of the most pow
erful singers in the choir of the kirk
at Auchleucherles. To show of his
voice to full advantage he would vary
his style from bass to alto and from
alto to treble in the same hymn.
The minister had long observed that
Rory's methods were upsetting the gen
eral melody Of the congregations sing
ing, and at length he resolved to bring
the culprit to book.

Learn to Be Genial.

There are many people who excuse
themselves from the little familiarities
and kindnesses Of life on the ground
that they are not natural to them.
These people say they are reserved by
disposition and cannot be free and
easy in meeting other people. But we
can learn to row a boat or to write
shorthand or to speak a new language.
That unaffected simplicity of address
which made Ruskin so approachable
to child or man was the work Of
long life's discipline.
