The employees OF the late P. D. Ar.
mour always referred to him as 1.-The
old man." This was not so much the
result of a habit among workmen OF
calling their employer 1.-The old man"
as an eccentricity of the "old man"
himself. When he wanted to give aid
anonymously he said. "Thats from
the old man." Many gifts went out OF
his pocket under the signature of 1.-The
Old Man."
A young girl went to the business
office OF the great packing concern one
day to report the illness Of friend
who worked as a stenographer in the
Office. Mr.. Armour happened to stand
near and overheard the girls request
for an advance in her friends salary
with which to pay the doctors bill.
Thrusting his thumb into his vest
pocket-that pocket which seemed a
mint of greenbacks-he handed the girl
a roll of bills.
Take that to your friend" he said.
then adding TO relleVe the glrlS aston
ishment, TELL her the old man sent
it,"
Before the girl could thank him he
was gone, but just as she left the
building he again appeared and, find
ing her gone, hurried hatless into the
street.
Here, here. forgot something"
he called.
The girl turned back, and without a
word Mr.. Armour pressed something
into her hand She looked down. 1t
was twenty dollar bill.
Mr. Armour had decided that his
gift was not sufficient and FASTENED to
increase IL.

Ostrich Feather. Of rripoIi.

The usual kAds of ostrich feathers
6nown to the trade come into the
Tripoli market. These are whites,
blacks, fenlinas. byocks. spadonas,
BOOK. drabs and floss. The Arab deal
ers bring them In unsorted packages
containing feathers in various qualities
Of each kind. and it therefore requires
expert knowledge to buy advantage
Cusly from the natives. The goods are
sold by the rot" The Tripoli rotl is
about eighteen ounces.J
The feathers are washed and sorted,
but not dyed or curled. They are
washed in Soapy water, and when still
wet are beaten. A handful of them
are taken by the stems and slapped
against the door with force that to
the uniniiated would seem to be
enough to break them to pieces. This
is doRe to bring out the hues or bar
bules, the miniature feathers extending
from the barbs. and gives the pumes
a fuller. richer appearance. A good
ostrich plume will have two or three
layers of feathers; its tip should be
perfect, and it should have no trans
verse cuts along the vane. For the
retail trade two plumes are usually
mounted together.

Euphonious Female Names.

Referring TO IL recent note on eupho-
NOUS female names, it may be said
that the eccentric Christian name at
tains its ripest vigor In the highlands.
There the natives have few names
natural to the sex. such as "Barbac"
though Barbac may be the name of
the family cow-"the dear one, the
dun one" The great majority of fe-
male names are, however, frankly
compounded from male equivalents.
"Wilhelmina" is known in the south,
and on the same principle Andrew
finds its female counterpart in AN
drewina." while "Malcolminas" and
"Donaldinas' are as thick as blackber-
ries. One unhappy child among the
relations of the present writer was
mercifully known as Ava" and Ava
she will be all her life. Her real name.
when magni6cently set forth. is ALEX
andrina Victoria Andrewina." and the
abbreviation is formed from the initial
etters.-London Standard.

The Laughter Cure.

1t is all very we'll for German doc
tor to prescribe hearty laughter as a
remedy for nervous diseases, but per-
haps he will also be good enough TO
tell us where we are to get the ingre-
dents for his prescription.
One cannot well sit down and laugh
It'll the tears run down the cheeks" at
nothing at all, however anxious to
cure severe attack of neuralgia.
When one comes to think of 1t, few
things make one laugh to this extent.
and what Is one persons meat where
hilarity is concerned may prove so
poisonous to another as to plunge him
to the very depths of depression.
There are people who will double up
with merriment when they see some
one else fall down flight of steps,
and afterward describe 1t as 1.-The fun
niest thing they ever saw" but most
nervous Iatieuts probably would not
laugh at AT IL in order to effect q
cure an attempt were made to excite
their hilarity by throwing relatives
and servants down stairs. Nerve spe
cialists Who adopt the laughter cure
will have either to practice Glowing
or keep trained fools to set their pa
tents ain roar."-Lady's Pictorial.

people endured the overture. Then
somebody asked permission to publish

made a clear $4,000 with it.
