BIG STICKS IN LONDON.

The London Johnny" has new

extraordinary length of 46 inches. and
IL still growing.
OF course 1t Is impossible to make
much use of such stick as an aid to
walking. The London dude carries his

ance Of other pedestrians before and
behind, and especially at crowded
crossings.
1t is hardly reasonable to suppose
that the New York Willie Boy" is
going to follow in the footsteps ni
London's Johnny" in this matter on
walking-sticks. Neither New York
nor any other busy American city
would stand for them.
Imagine one of these walking canes,
carried horizontally. attempting to
board subway or Brooklyn bridge

ner during rush hours. Everybody
who has attempted to board train
carrying even small package can
imagine the fate Of the walking,stick.

LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE.

Its queer how little most people

relsome man not long since. Some
day am going to start school where
only the minutiae of life will be
taught--how to button the coat when
you put 1t on, how to brush hat, and
so on. Not one in hundred persons
knows 1t is a mistake to button the
bottom of coat first. The top but
ton should be the first one, otherwise
the shape of the coat, even II 1t is
carefully tailored, is seriously affect
ed. This little pointer alone would
save many persons lot Of money.
A hat should always be brushed in
the direction opposite to the hands Of
clock. Otherwise the pile of the felt
is taken out and the hat given a
cheap, poor appearance. OF course,
with straw this does not apply. In
the care of paste, too, 1t is odd how
llttle Is known by most people. The
best way to buy paste nowadays is In
the water-well jars put UP by all large
manufacturers. Then vixen such jar
Is gotten keep the well always half
full OF water. II paste becomes hard,
too, from lack of use stir 1t with u
stick until 1t has proper consistency.

Children in Pain

never cry as do children who are
suffering from hunger. Such is
the cause of all baby's who cry
and are treated for sickness,
when they really are suffering
from hunger. This is caused from

but devoured by worms. A few
