Some Drawbacks In Having Disease
as an Occupation.


A New York man was brought be-
fore magistrate the other day for
speeding. The magistrate asked his
occupation. Rheumatism" replied
the prisoner. 1t was so recorded,
When you think Of it, he was prob
ably not far wrong. If anything will
keep man occupied it is a pet
trouble like rheumatism or indiges-
tion. Give it chance and it will
make other mundane matters rela-
lively unimportant. 1t will prove the
most exacting of occupations.
1t has one advantage over the ordi-
nary ones; hard times can't interfere
with it. Every factory in the world
may close, but the man who makes his
disease his occupation need not work.
His occupation will not be touched.
1t will always be open, beyond all
chance and change of the unsteady
planets But 1t has the disadvantage
that 1t tends to grow more and more
enerous. A man begins, say, with
little light and easy employment at
Indigestion. His hours at first are
reasonable. Soon he discovers that
ne must pay more attention to 1t If
ne would do the thing right. He gives
1t several hours day additional He
begins to think about it at odd times.
Before he knows it he is occupied
with it for practically all his waking
hours.

AsroNIsHED BY TIE GIRAFFE.
Frenchmen We're Slow to Admit Ex-
istence Of the Animal.

DR.. Johnson, as is well known, re-
fused for many months to believe in
the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians
formerly were just as skeptical as to
the existence of the giraffe, new
specimen of which had just been
added to the Jardin des plantes. The
earliest specimen of these gentle crea-
lures was seen in Paris in the reign
of Louis XVI. We learn from French
contemporary that the giraffe was
first heard of in 1787 when it was de-
scribed by Frenchman named Levail-
liant, who had journeyed in the lands
of the Hottentots and Kafirs. When
the explorer referred to the animals
with the long necks he was looked
upon as a Munchausen and told that
he was such in not the politest Ian
guage. 1t was only when some living
specimens arrived in the French cap
ital that Leyaillant's reputation for
veracity was re-established, and then
the animals for long time formed
the sensation of Paris, not only among
the multitude, but in all scientific cir.
cles.

Hlah Lineage Of Slang.

THAT expression, Painting the town

"the creation Of some unknown Cock
ney genius, as G. X. c. would seem to
infer. Its birth has been traced to
The Divine Comedy. Dante, led by
Virgil, comes to the cayernous depths
Of the place swept by mighty wind
where those are confined who have
been the prey Of their passions. Two
faces arise from the mist--the faces
Of francesca and Paolo, Who are
We? cries Dante in alarm; and Fran
cesca replies sadly: We are those
who have painted the world red with
our SINS"

sauabbIlna the Cause of II.

A magistrate who has taken upon
himself the difficult task Of adjusting
domestic troubles says that petty
squabbles break up more homes than
affinities ever could do. He has no
mercy for wife-beaters and is skepti-
cal concerning the influence Of So
called soulmates on the average mid
die class household, which he stoutly
maintains is moral In the strongest
terms he condemns nagging and
squabbling and sounds warning
against the effects of overwork. He is
not the only person who believes that
in ordinary cases Of faithlessness the
cause can be found in a cloudy home
atmosphere. Bickering is shamefully
common and the causes too trivial to
give an excuse for wasting breath.

in EUROPE WITH MOTOR CAR.
Much There That Is Perpetual Delight
to Traveller.

Belgium and Holland, though not
blessed with good roads as a rule,
have much to charm visitors in their
quaint views and old-world cities. One
has, of course, to travel slowly over
the brick Dutch roads and the Bel
gian pave, but the towns are so close
together that the journey need never
be monotohous. And the lace-like
architecture of Brussels, the mystery
that enfolds antique Bruges, or the
historic associations of Dordrecht and
the dead cities of Zuyder Zee, are
sufficient recompense for the slight
discomforts of the route. But once
east of Namur the pave ceases, and
one can travel in the delights Of speed
along the valleys of the wandering
Meuse, Lesse or Moselle. The latter
river is charming, and trip should
be made down 1t from Luxembourg II
possible, the grand ravines and i'm.
mense woods giving a never ceasing
variety of view.-Vogue.

| know that a lump will rise in

Kaiser William of Germany, is,
because of poverty, being forced
to sell FIVE of his castles, which he
expects to bring him in about as
many millions of dollars. Will
lam sits in the palace at Potsdam
and grieves and sulks. l should
say he would! Think of it! He
now has but five castles left in
Germany and the palace at Pots

building at Corfu. Sympathize
with him for moment. Consid-
er the cramping and inconvenience
Of trying to live in nothing more
than five castles and two palaces
at once! It's scandalous to be re-
duced to such straits. Think of
the insignifcance of your problem,
and how small your worry must
be, which involves nothing more
than trying to guess how you are
going to pay the rent, and wonder
ing why the hiatus continues to
widen between wages and trust
controlled necessities, besides that
Of the great William, who now
can go only to God, his partner, for
sympathy, the German people
having turned suddenly cold.
Think how small are the affairs Of
thousands Of German work people
who get meat once q week, or the
tramp, sleeping in a German hay
stack, beside the great trouble Of
their poor Emperor, who must
sacrifice Eve of his dozen castles
and palacesl Truly it is to weep.

The Cycle of Fashions.

Progress follows the line of ad-
vantage, substituting always the bet
ter adapted; it never returns on itself,
never substitutes fish oil for kerosene,
horse cars for trolley cars. Fashion,
on the other hand, moves in cycles.
Could we run the successive fashions

should see, an alternating dilation and
contraction, like the painting of some

English and American Contrasts.

"The English business mans hours
are shorter than ours, and besides,
when his work is done, he turns to
some avocation, culture, theology, art
or literature. The American business
man is inclined to be too materialistic.
His work is too intense, too engross-
ing, and when he is through-and we
work long hours-he wants something
with tang to it, something he can
taste all the way down. He must
have an automobile that he can drive
through the country at 70 miles an
hour; he must have at least his golf
or poker, even on Sunday Balfour
