FEMININE PHILOSOPHY.

/ know of no situation calling for
more real heroism, than when fellow
pulls the baby's "pacifier'' out OF his
pocket by mistake in a crowd.
Even an inveterate liar can make a
woman believe most anything by pre-
facing his remarks with the statement
that she is wonderfully clever.
Most girls wish at some time in their
lives that they could be men for awhile
so that they could break the hearts OF
certain other girls they know.
A fellow may be said to be thorough
ly. .domesticated when he can allow the
baby to pull his hair at 4 o'clock in
the morning without getting mad
about II.
A man doesn't realize h.m own un-
importance until he has aAended a
meeting where his wife reads O pa
per-" Then he finds out that he is
only Mrs. So-and-So's husband"
1t is fine commentary on the force
fulness of the fair sex to see that in all
our comic literature there is no such
thing as a father -in-law joke" He
isn't strong enough to assert himself.
I am pretty good Christian, but
can't conscientiously say that believe
everything In the family bible. Not
after the young women OF the family
have had occasion to look over ths
birth record.

Not Considered Remarkable.
Some people think 1t remarkable thinf
to find an eel in. a water pipe but cells II
pipes don't strike them that way down az
the aquarium, where nothing about fishes
would seem surprising, and where eels
are often so found
1t is not supposed that eels finding them
selves in the city's water mains, seek the
aquarium's supply pipe with the hope OF
finding an outlet there into this home for
fishes. The simple fact is that the aquar-
tum has. as IL naturally would have In its
business, special facilities for finding eeIs
In its water pipes and for removing them.
There was time when the aquarium's
fresh water pumps wers clogged with cells
that came through the supply pipe They
have had to stop a big pump here and
take II apart TO clear its valves OF eels.
but that was some time ago. When they
began TO have trouble OF this sort they
simply put strainer In the main supply
pipe, outside Of the building in Battery
Park, and since then all the cells coming,
this way have been stopped. there.
In this trap they catch eels, sometimes
small fishes, and vegetable matter that
would otherwise have got through with
the water into the pumps. The strainer
IS so placed that II can be conveniently got
at, and twice week a clean strainer Is
put in and the old strainer, with whatever
may have lodged against 1t In the pipe, is
removed.
In this way they catch here first and last
many eels. Fall is the time when they
come down in the greatest numbers. but
they catch them here also in the spring.
When the strainer was removed on June
last there were found In the pipe here
three eels, one measuring two feet ten
inches In length. one Of two feet and one a
foot long,

such things. they think nothing particu.

straws at about 2b per cent. off the

how buying at that time works out IN
other ways.

hat q year, have generally begun to-
show signs of wear. certainly so IL
their wearers have ever been caught
In a shower; and so then, when every

a fresh one on em. brand new hat; \
like a man who, his first hat having
got dusty, had just casually sauntered
In to the hat emporium and bought a
new one. II gives me lot OF satlsfac-
ton to run that new hat out in that
way in the middle OF the season.
And this hat remains tolerably fresh
when I put 1t away in the middle OF
September. and 1t is really In fair con-
dition to wear when / bring it out to
start the new season With 1t in the fol-

'tOther men getting out hats which
they had bought early in the previous
season and so had worn practically that
season through find their hats pretty
shabby looking, while mine really looks
pretty nice and will go all right till
the middle of the season, when I buy
my new hat on the first markdown.
This may seem rather complicated

A GIRLS MISSION.

A girl in Boston who had no specia.
talent nor business training, but want
ed to make some money, felt that there
was a niche for her somewhere In the
world, the worst trouble being to find
II. Apparently she found 1t, for today
she holds good position in one OF the
large stores, where she mends fine
broken china. glassware and valuable
pieces OF bric-a-brac. The cement she
uses IS made from her own prescrip-
ton, albumen OF egg mixed with evap-
Grated whey. In the last year she
mended $500 900 worth OF fine ware that
would otherwise have been sold at a
great reduction or been q dead loss.
She also does a considerable amount of
mending for the art museums where
fine vases so often come to grief.
This goes 10 show that each and
every girl has some mission In life, but

CHAPTER XXI.
THE LUcKY MAN.

No one ever accused Mr.. Reginald
Lossing OF having brains; no one ever
denied that he had a luck which was
monumental He had a name for luck
which was looked up TO and marveled
at, even in the society papers.
Mr.. Lossing had no settled trade or
profession. He was just a lily in the
way or toll and dress and he made a
very comfortable income at 1t. He
dabbled in outsiders on the turf, in
shares of unchartered gold mines, in
the Fascinating game OF unlimited, too,
and was able to look complacently on
the results. He went into all these
and other operations with a genial
childish simplicity, and like the bank
er at roulette there always seemed q
steady pull in his favor. How 1t was
done no one knew. He did not know
himself, and he and all his world mar
veled and prophesied that his luck
would some day turn with a rush and
a sweeping tide.
When he got mixed UP with the
Shelf affair, IL seemed as II this would
be the case.
There was something very near akin
to panic In Lloyds when the total
loss of the Port Edes was reported, and
those unfortunates who had underwrit-
ten her were anxious to dispose OF their
risks at any price TO any credulcsis man
who believed that this first report was
a canard. Consequently there was
some pretty steep gambling gone
through In the space OF minutes and
more than one small man got broke
with surprising rapidity.
Now. Master Losstnx happened e h-

The passengers on a Darby-bound trolley
car from this city, on the line Of the Ches-
ter Traction company, were startled to see
a well dressed man, named Elliott, jump
out OF his seat, clasp his hand to his left
breast, and exclaim, My God, I'm shot!"
The man sank back in his seat, pallid,
and the passengers clustered around him,
thinking some miscreant had fired into
the car, although no shot was heard.

It Is way down my arm" said Elliott. He
