CURIOUS HOLIDAY MANIAs.
Same Vacation Suit Worn for Twen-
ty-tyvO Seasons.

Same Vacation Suit Worn for Twen-
ty-twO Seasons.
Many people who are sane enough on
most points become eccentric cranks at
holiday time, says Tit Bits. In a GER
tain Liverpool household the subject of
where to go invariably gives rise to a
stormy discussion. For no less a pc
riod than forty years the head Of the
house has regularly each summer pass
ed his holidays at Douglas, in the Isle
of Man.
A very charming place, too, but the
Younger members of the family kick
against going there year after year.
They naturally want to see some other
pleasure resorts, but their annual
grumble only extorts from their lras-
chile parent the declaration, douglas
or nowhere" and, as he holds the
purse strings, Douglas or nowhere 1t
mas to be.
Curiously enough, the trouble with
another Liverpudlian is that he will
never be induced to go to the same
place q second time. There are few
seaside resorts that he has not visited
at one time or another, but to none
has he ever been known to go more
than once.
On the other hand, his wife does
not care for a fresh place each holiday
season. She Is in love with the east
coast, and thinks there is no place IN
the world for a holiday equal to Gro
mer. She would be quite happy to 20
there every year if only her wander
Ing husbands she calls hlm-would
be agreeable. But he will never listen
to this, so that If she is not prepared
to accompany him to resort which lie
has never seen before her only alter
native is to remain at home. She has
often threatened to go where she wants
and leave her husband to do likewise,
hut so far has never done so.
Another good lady, residing in Man
chester, has trouble with her lord and
master over a different matter For
upward of twenty-five years he has
had what he calls a holiday suit"
which he has worn during every vaca-
tion. that he has had since he bought it.
This suit he has never bad on his back

RESTORED CONFIDENCE.


Mrs. Potter had spent week at the
mountains, and naturally her neighbors
piled her with questions as to what she
had seen and how she had enjoyed her
visit. I'VE all know you're fond O.
your house and home," said one Of the
neighbors, "but wasn't 1t kind of a
relief not to have to think of washing
and ironing and baking and sweeping
for good long week and Just feast
your eyes on views and sights|
"Yes," said Mrs. Potter, with an alb,
sent-minded expression, "of course the
mountain views are grand. l took a
good look at 'em morning and night,
and sometimes between"
For the lands sake! |" cried the
neighbor what did you do the rest
part O. the day?"
WELL" said Mrs. Potter, looking as
If she had been detected In a crime,
shat woman we boarded with, she'd
been using some kind Of washing-pow-
der that had eaten holes in her clothes
and table-linen, and she didn't know
how to make her own yeast, nor she
didn't understand the Ins an outs of a
boiled dinner.
"She had only been married year.
and she was brought up away from
New England, so you couldn't expect
anything different. But as l said to
Anna, my duty lay clear before me.

said, and I'll see what can do at the
kitchen end o. the house.

Potter looked as nearly defiant as was
possible to woman of her size and

kind of overbore me, but that kitchen

The Beauty of the Snowflake.

The thin snow now driving from the
north and lodging on my coat consists
of those beautiful star crystals, thin
and partly transparent. They are about
one-tenth of an inch in diameter, per-
feet little wheels with six spokes, with
out tire or, rather, with six perfect
little leaflets, fernlike. with a distinct,
straight, slender midrib raging from
the center. On each side of each mid
rib there is a transparent, thin blade
" ith a crenate edge. How full of the
creative genius is the air In which these
are generated | should hardly ad-
mire more If real stars fell and lodged
on my coat. Nature is full Of genius,
full of the divinity, so that not a snow
flake escapes Its fashloning hand Moth
ing is cheap and coarse, neither dew.
drops nor snowiakes.-Henry D. Tho.

Long way from Nowhere.

The most remote mission station in
the world is on Herschel Island, in the
far northwest corner of the Dominion
cf Canada. The nearest postoffice is
1000 miles away. Consequently the
packets are few and far between, sell
dom more than two in year. The ISL
and is most uninviting place for a
residence. No sun for more than two
months in the winter, and not a tree
to be seen anywhere. Under the teach
ing of the missionaries many of the
Esquimaux are becoming more civil
ized, and are greatly improving in their
manner and habits, and there Is a
growing desire for instruction.

ID any other dime, but during hls an.

at any other time, but during his an.
nual holiday he cannot be induced to
wear any other. As his wife tells
him, 1t is In that that he is seen morn
Ing, noon and night, as If he had not
another suit of clothes to put on.
AS a matter of fact, he has no other
with him, for, despite all his better
hairs remonstrances, he cannot be
persuaded to take more clothes than
his holiday suit when he leaves homo
for his annual outing. This is rather a
sore point with the wife, for she IN
sists on being well dressed and sees to
1t that she has 10 lack of changes Of
raiment even If her husband refuses
to cucumber himself with one.
Some men have a mania for disap-
pearing during their annual holiday,
leaving no trace of their whereabouts
behind. A very busy London merchant
does this every season, and for space
of a month not even his wife and fam.
lily have the remotest Idea where he
could be found. He leaves By himself
and comes back by himself, and he
brings nothing with him that gives the
least clew to where he has spent his
holiday.
This mans business friends often
chaff him about where he goes. but
none of them has ever yet been able to
CLEAN anything of the secret His wife
and family have long since ceased tc
exhibit any curiosity regarding it, rec
ognizlng that it is good for him to have
months rest in year from the or
dinary worries of his life.
