She was not one of the fashionable mo hips" crea- lures, but was of such generous pro- portions that she could not be cir cumnavigated.

Once in a while you meet a com. mon Chinaman who has some of the wit of MT. Wu. One such has a laun- dry in Lexington avenue, not far from Twenty-third street. The other day heard him yell at a recalcitrant GUS toner: You no pay? Then you paper tiger!" I asked what he meant by a paper tiger" and he replied: "Oh, in China paper tiger Is blackguard who blows much but is harmless" He add ed: When man is very proud of himself, what Americans call stuck up,' we compare to rat falling into a scale and weighing itself. When a Chinaman overdoes a thing we say he is a hunchback making a bow. The rich son who quickly spends his ia. ther's money we call a rocket which goes off at once.

GENTLE VOICE A GREAT CHARM.
One of the Most Powerful Attractions
 In Woman.

Very few women realize what an effect a sweet voice has on man. A woman may be very pretty to look upon, may be faultlessly and bewftch- ingly attired and attractive in every way, and yet directly she opens her mouth and speaks the spell Is broken, the charm is gone. And this need never be.
 , Very few voices are so naturally bad that they will not succumb to training, and the voice can be trained to be just as sweet and gentle as one pleases to make 1t.
 A woman should speak in a low voice. She should not allow her voice to raise itself to high pitch.
 A shrill-voiced woman Is terrible She should not shout her orders to the servants down the stairs, nor call to any one who may be in another part of the house. This shouting and raising of the voice spells the tone and quality of the voice and tends to make 1t harsh. A pretty voice is a powerful attraction in a woman and she who would add to her charms a wondrous fascination should cultivate 8 voice lever soft, gentle and low"

Simple Home Remedy,

Often 1t is inconvenient to get doc tor for a cut or abrasion where there might be danger of blood poisoning. In such case try tkis simple home rem. edy: After the wound Is thoroughly washed with some antiseptic solution and the poison removed the cut will often heal nicely if cloths wet in sweet oil are kept on the place until the flesh has perfectly healed. One young woman, who this last summer tore her hand badly on a barbed-wire fence used nothing else on 1t but these sweet-oil cloths, kept renewed when ever they grew dry, and has not even Q pcNT to show for her injury.

A certain farmer, who is noted for his closeness in money matters, has a 12-year-old son, who is as industrious as his father Is penurious.
 Recently the father and son made a compact whereby the latter would re- ceive ten cents for every cord of wood he sawed and piled in the woodshed. Immediately the boy became very busy at the woodpile and his earn ings have been piling up at a rapid rate, his mother keeping her sons hard-earned savings for him.

 Coin to buy c new saw with it." was the reply.
