Sugar In Coffee.

The average amount Of sugar used
In coffee is a study which has become
80 much of a fascination to a young
man who frequents restaurants pretty
constantly that he has taken to going
to different places for each meal in
order to enlarge the sphere OF his OF.
servations among different classes OF
people, says the Philadelphia Record.
poor people, as a rule" he says. use
more sugar than rich people. and it's
also a pretty constant rule tina men
drink sweeter coffee than women and
that old men have the sweetest tooth
Of all when it comes to coffee. 1t is
noticeable, too. that drinkers of after
dinner coffee make it very much sweet
er than that which they take in the
morning. know a middle aged man
who takes just two Jumps to a cup III
the morning, which Is below the aver
age, but into the little cup he take
after dinner he puts six full sizel
Jumps. This makes a sort of strip of
the drink. which, suppose, takes the
place of after dinner bonbons.'

Duck. and prake..n

The origin of the common saying
Making ducks and brakes with ones
money" Is attributed to a game de-
scribed In the words Of an old writer
as "a kind of sport or play with an
olster shell or stone thrown into water
and making circles yer 1t sinke." If
the stone energies once, 1t is a duck;
u 1T energies more than once, the game
proceeds according to the following
rhyme:
IL, A duck and a drake;
3, And n h%alfpenny cake;
=, And a penny to pay the old baker;
3. A hop an a scotch
Is another notch;
.. SltherNm, slatherum! Take her,
The game is evidently the same as
mat played ven today by every boy
who has access to a pond or a quiet
river when he tries to make a smooth
stone skip along the surface Of the
water. Its connection with the pop
ular phrase is, of course, only a meta
phorlcal one to Indicate heedlessness in
theu use of money.

Making Il Pleasant.

i am nineteen years old and go tc
parties a good deal. | want to make
myself pleasant and agreeable, but an
, poor conversationist. Could you
suggest some topics of conversation
that would take we'll in mixed com
lany: MABEL"
Yes, Mabel. AS soon as you enter
die parior shake your head and exclain
Ia IL lot.d tone:
oh, Gear. washed my hair yester-
1ay and can't do q thing with it,"
That makes a hit rigas away and
puts every one at ease. This express
zion a be used whenever CONVERSE
ton lags. Music is a great help. Elk
press yourself this way:
We'll, don't know anything about
music, but | do know what pleases
me-"
This will give the idea that you are
q musician.
To discuss art all you have to do is
look at the pictures on the wall and
when you see Il you like exclaim:
isn't that a beaut!'
This will diyulge your artistic sense.
AT the supper table reacn for the
olive dish and say:
There was q time when couldn't
eat olives, but l a eat a whole bot

Then take five in u grab, and peo-
pie will like you for saying what you
mean. With these few hints you'll
find conversation comparatively easy.

ITO the Bitter Endv

one OF the most interesting phases OF
the study of language is tho peculiar
manner in which words and phrases,
originating in mistakes finally grow
INTO the common speech Of the people.
An instance of this is the expression
TO the bitter end" which Is
~ used to denote the final extremity
or a crisis. Although perfectly proper
To-Day 1t is in reality a mistake. The
correct phrase is ito the better end"
and arose from the fact that when a
vessel has paid out all her ca8,e in a
storm 1T has run out to the II hich
mas been little used and therefore to
the better end. Daniel Defoe uses tho
proper phrase in Robinson Crusoev in
his description of the storm at Var
mouth when he says, I'VE rode With
TWO anchors ahead and the cables yeer-
ed out to the better end.'

The Word Etiquette.

The very kigh sounding word Ell
quette had a very humble origin, fol
etiquette meant simply a label. 1t re
ceived its present Specification from
the fact thai II Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at he
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate Where they might pass. At
first these labels We're not attended to,
but a hint from high quarters that in
future the walks of the courtiers must
be within the "%etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to-. To keep
within the ettquettes became the cor.
rect thing. Tile meaning of the phrase
was afterward widened.

IN OLD "LYCEUM" DAYS.

The golden days of the lecture plat
form are past, and the lecture bureau
Is no longer the active feature OF the
intellectual life that 1t was fifty or
even twenty-five years ago. AT one time
almost every town, East and West
had its lecture course each winter
Many were the adventures experienced
by the lecturers as they penetrated the
provincial parts Of the country to de-
liver their messages of wisdom or
amusement. Sometimes concert by the
Mendelssohn Quintet Club, or some
other musical organization, was sahd-
Wiched In between two lectures
Thomas Ryan-a member of the fam
GUS quintet club--in ''The Recollections
of an Old Museum" tells Of the recep-
ton of young woman lecturer In q
small Wisconsin town:
II was a young mems society which
had summoned her, made up OF very
youthful members. When she reached
the station the entire association was
nne0 up 10 meet ueI, anu 9hS "o 49,
moniously introduced, then and there.
to each one. AS the weather was ex-
tremely cold, the process was an ordeal
This over, the leader wiped his brow
and looked about as If asking what to
do next. Miss Andrews suggested the
hotel. A one-horse sleigh was produc-
ed; the leader handed the lecturer In,
got in himself and offered her the reins.
She declined, saying he knew the horse
and way better than she. The young
man seemed relieved, and quite satls-
fed that he had shown the guest OF the
society every courtesy possible.
That evening the whole association
again met and escorted the lecturer to
the hall. The room was packed.
On the stage was an old-fashioned
settee with legs In the middle and at
each end. When Miss Andrews sat
down the affair tilted with her. A
large, heavily built clergyman came In
and seated himself on the other end.
Up went the settee, and up went Miss
Andrews until her feet no longer touch
ed the floor. The audience giggled and
