An Ambassadors Nose.

An ambassador to Russia, for
merly a leather merchant in this
country, discovered certain secret
processes regarding special kind of
leather manufactured there. He
would have been looked on with
suspicion had it been suspected that
he could learn anything of these
methods. But during his sojourn
he got near enough to certain fac
tories to register through his sense
of smell some impressions with
which he was able to work out the
formulas when he returned home

st. Paul.

A French writer who evidently
was conservative and did not well
come the napkin kindly records
with scorn:
''The napkin is placed under the
chin and fastened in the back as if
one were going to be shaved A
person told me that he wore his
that way that he might not soil his
beautiful frills."
1t was difficult matter to tie the
two corners in the back, and it is
said that thence originated our
expression for straitened circum-
stances, S'hard to make both ends
meet" This custom led to the
habit of the table walters of carry
ing a napkin on the left arm.

Not For Willie.

A country woman and her little
boy were visiting the city, and while
seeing the sights of the place the
mothers eyes were attracted by the
snowy display of stuffed animals in
a taxidermist's shop window.
'Let's go in here and see what
we can get for you, Willie" said the
mother.
''Sure, ma, and His eye fell
upon a sign over the door which
read, 'Let us tan your hides"

Kings Arm a Measure Standard.

Although innumerable yards of
silk, satin and cloth are being
bought and sold every day in this
country, it is probable that very
few persons, whether purchasers or
statesmen, could say offhand how we

the arm measurement of King Hen

QUIT DRINK NOW.

Offers the Opportunity to the Slave
of the Liquor Habit to Throw Off
the Fetters that will Surely DRAG
Him Down to Utter Ruin.
There is no man whose condition is
so pitiable as the slave to the liquor
habit. Excessive indulgence in drink
destroys his reputation, undermines his
health, paraiyzes his intellect, vitiates
his morals and ultimately makes him
an object of loathing and contempt.
His friends forsake him. He brings
sorrow and disgrace upon everyone
connected with him and drags his
family down to misery and poverty.
To get drink he squanders the money
with which he should supply them. At
the end, his children are in rags and
dependent upon charity, and his sor-

moon being an Eskimo boy and the
