RaraIan JaEta.

An exceedingly ugly man, says the
Persian Joe Miller. was once In thS
mosque, asking pardon of Allah for
his sins and praying to be delivered
from the fires OF hell. One who over
heard his prayers said to him: Where
fore, o friend, wouldst thou cheat he'll
Of such a countenaRcs2 Art thou re-
luetant to burn up face like thatT'
Another story the Persian jester tells
is that certain person with hideOus
nose was once on a time wooing g wO-
man. Describing himself TO her and
trying to make an attractive picture,
he said, Il am a man devoid Of light
ness and frivolity, and l am patient In
bearing aftiictionsg'
aye" said the woman. 'WeFt thou
not patient in bearing Affections thou
hadst never endured thy nose these
forty years"

nla Name In tho pirse,orx.

"Ons funny thing 1 have learned
about human nature" said the drug
store cashier, els the habit many peO-
pie have Of marking their own names
IN the city directory. They do that be-
cause the directory Is the only place
where their names ever get into print,
and 1t has such a fascination for them
that they can't resist calling attention

talk tells me that he has made special
trips to different parts Of the city Just
% mark his name In the directories OF
the neighbOrhOOd. He puts a little
cross In red ink before it. asked him
what good it did. He said none possi-
bly,, although he is q teacher OF Ian
guages and may get few calls on ac-
count Of that queer advertisement
But his is an exceptional case. Not
many persons spend time and money
hunting city directories, but every
time they happen to see a new one
they can't help looking up their names
and putting some kind Of a mark
around them."-New York Sun.

WALKING.

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with a single superfuOus part.
Every inch Of every foot is meant for
use. When a man walks in the right
way, speaking literally, the back Of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground
Heel to toe is the movement. Try it
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way, and what poor LO doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard.

A Mamorx of Edwin Booth.

Ny season with Edwin Booth was
delightful. l found him one OF the
kindest and pleasaDtest men Of the
profession. He also possessed what L
consider a great quality-simplicity OF
manner. Some stars have the Idea
that it is necessary to be naughty and
inaccessible with the members Of their
companies. They put on airs. They
like to crush their fellow actors and

The Roulette Ball.

That capricious little ball that de-

croupiers hand, though not often.
One afternoon it slipped from its
manipulator's fingers and found its
way into an EngIishman's coat pocket.
So impressed was the Englishman
that he promptly lost couple Of hun
dred pounds. But the little ball once
found a far stranger destination than
that. Escaping from the croupier's
hand, it few straight into the mouth
Of a German onlooker, and he was so
impressed that he promptly swallowed

sOhemians and Wedding Rings.


''Here are two wedding rings that
have just made over" said the jew
eIer. They are for Bohemian women.
They lost their own rings, so they had
their husbands rings cU: down to fit
That Is a custom in their country.
Both husband and wife wear wed
ding rings there. If the man loses his
ring he has to buy q new one, but II
the woman loses hers she wears her
husbands. l do a good deal Of that
kind OF work Other women who lose
wedding rings just buy another one
and say nothing about ii. but these wo-
men are too conscientious for that.

smaller, but once in awhile it has to
be spliced to make it fit The women
are always considerably chagrined
over the splicing and offer all kinds OF
explanations TO account for their big

Tea In PARAGUAY.

When the natives of Paraguay drink

into a cup. but fill a goblet made out
OF a pumpkin or gOurd and then suck
up the hot liquid through a long reed
Moreover. the tea which they use Is
altogether different from that which
comes from China. being made out OF
dried and roasted leaves Of a palm
like plant which grows In Paraguay
and southern Brazil. The natives say
that this tea is an excellent remedy
