First Impressions.

How important it is that ones first
impressions should be right, for they
seldom change The bent of a boys
mind stays that way all his life Some
times it changes, but not often. So
1t is terrible thing for youth to get
a wrong impression when entering the
threshold of life. Very often it de
pends upon the threshold, where it is
and who are there. If it is mere loaf
ing place, a companionship. show a
game, q business or even an educational
effort, the great question is, What
sort Of first impression does it leave?
This is the most important inquiry a
parent can ask himself. The whole
future of the youth depends upon the
influence Of that week or month or
year. The first impressions create the
ruling passion of ones life. They
make a trifier, a swearer, a skeptic, a
gambler, cynic, liar, drunkard
or a man of conscience, diligence,
faith, integrity, purity, out of him.

lJsa of Old Laces.

Beautiful real lace of all kinds is
rapidly returning to popularity and
bids fair to be generally used during
the coming months by those who car
afford such luxuries not only on even
ing dresses, but on the bodices of day
gowns. These bodices in many in
stances will be trimmed most elabo-
rately with lace and also with exQui-
sitely fine silk embroideries and
touches of fur.
The latest millinery, too, shows III
many instances the very chic effect OF
a large shape in black silk beaver of a
satin-like smoothness. adorned only
with big bow of white real lace
For similar purposes long scarfs OF
white lace are also being used. draped
round and over the crowns of some OF
the Pierrot shapes and then tied with
many loops very high at the back.

LUCKY OR PLucKY?

When diminutive. stub nosed, red
headed Colonel Funston took the
Twentieth Kansas regiment to the
Presidio on its way to the Philippines
the people of San Francisco poked fun
at the country Jakes" and their red
headed colonel
That was during the Spanish war
A few years later, when earthquake
and fire ravaged that city, red headed
Funston was the idol Of Frisco.
Fully 100000 people were homeless
Thieves preyed. Harpies stole from
dead bodies There was DO authority
Men changed into wolves. Anarchy
reigned
Then Funston and the soldiers.
The red headed general ordered his
men to shoot the looters on sight AT
the point of the baycnet he put men
TO work
Would the war department support
him?
Yes or no, Funston shut down the
lid of the hell that raged-and sat
on it
Suppose some punctilfous West
Point officer had been in command.
He would not have dared take such
authority without consulting Wash
ington.
Well?
In order to preserve appearances
they put another officer over Funston
after the good work was done But
history can never rob the little brig
adler of that supreme hour when he
saved San Francisco from itself
All of which comes back in memory
when one reads an interview with a
regular officer, who says Funston has
always been lucky"
Lucky or plucky? st
They also say in the army that he
is poser. But how could he help it
if the correspondents pictured him
swimming the Bagbag river with a
rope in his teeth? They did not very
much exaggerate.
Lucky or plucky?
Down beneath the little swagger the
Napoleonic Funston has both brains
and bravery. He has proved that ever
since he went down into Cuba to fight
with the insurgents.
Lucky?
He was lucky as Napoleon was lucxy
and Charles Martel and Phil Sheridan.
1t makes one weary to read the
periodical hints emanating from the
regulars abount lucky Funston"
Let no American boy read the biog-
raphy Of Frederick Funston to fortify

THE, CIGARETTE SMOKER,

Do you smoke cigarettes?
If you do you need not read this
talk, because you will not believe what
I say, though l am not a crank
Cigarettes are poison
l say this not of myself. 1t is a
chemical fact that the burning of to-
bacco and paper, together with saliva,
distills a subtle poison that in time
will undermine and wreck the strong
est constitution.
You do not believe it?
Then it is because you do not want to
believe. The results of cigarette smok-
ing have been as carefully noted as
of typhoid fever. The rate of its prog
ress is as we'll attested, from its in
ception on through its different stages,
| as that of any other slow poison.
1t saps manhood.
And besides its effect upon the body.
which it tends to make inert and limp
and Intellectual, there is its effect upon
the mind
The cigarette smoker is a paranoiac.
That is to say, he is demented in so
far as his malady is concerned. He
entertains delusions concerning his
| habit.
The poison muddles the BRAIN
1t is to be admitted that some persons
are able to withstand the effect Of
cigarette poison longer than others.
And some nations, being more phleg-
matte, are less susceptible than others
A Russian, for instance, with his slug
gish nature will be poisoned more slow
ly than the American.
Cigarettes ruin American nerves.
Our nervous temperaments and our
climate forbid the use of artificial stim-
ulants. We are so fashioned that all
our nervous force must be used to drive
our bodies and brains. We are so
finely tempered that stimulants serve
only to excite.
Artificial stimulants take the spring
and snap out of the American temper
We go to pieces rapidly enough with
out forcing.
And now
If you smoke cigarettes have said
nothing that will change your opinion
You either do not believe the deduc-
tons of science or you fancy you are
immune.
Which is proof of my contention. You
are deluded, by the habit.

Tumult In the Commons.

There was "a memorable scene of
tumult in the house of commons in
1872 when the late Sir Charles Dixie,
whose speeches throughout England
had accused the court of wanton ex-
travaganee and attacked monarchical
institutions in general, declaring him
self to be purely and simply repub-
hcan, had been challenged to make a
similar statement on the floor of the
house. With Characteristic determine.
ton Sir Charles did so, and when he
found an ally in Auberon Herbert,
who rose and declared himself also a
republican. an extraordinary tumult
arose.
Says the chronicler of that time:
"Some hundreds of strong. excited
furious men were shouting and yelling
on the benches with the object of in
terrupting and drowning the voice OF
one man. They roared, Missed, gestic-
ulated with the fury of the sixpenny
gallery disappointed In some boxing
night performance. The shrill cock
crow unheard in the house of com.
mons for whole generation, shrieked
once more in the ears OF the bewilder-
ed officials" Ultimately Mr.. Herbert
was given five minutes In which to
finish his speech, and the scene closed
but it was many long day before the
incident was forgotten.-London Spec

the lace and embroidery collars In use
