John Brougham was celebrated for his ready wit. and story is told of him and Pat Hearne. who was the Garfield of his day. Hearne was a big man and addicted to f1ashy waist coats. In one of his parts BrOugham made uPsto resemble Hearne and wore a particularly loud and gaudy waist coat. Hearne's friends persuaded him to go to see the play. anticipating considerable amusement at his ex- pense. As they were coming out of the theater he was asked what he thought of Brougham's performance. Mot a bit like me. Why. wouldn't own such a waistcoat."

rha One Dish Diet.

A food specialist said of dieting:
 '"The simplest, easiest and most eff cacious diet to bring down the weigh, is the one dish diet. At no meal, that is, should more than one dish be eaten
 "The dish may be what you will Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast beef, vegetable soup, bacon and eggs but no courses are to precede or fol low 1t. You may eat as much as you choose of the dish. and yet for all that you will lose weight steadily.
 "It's the variety of dishes-the oys ters. soup, fish. turkey, mince pie. ice cream-it's the variety of dishes, ere ating an artificial appetite when the body has really had all it requires. that causes corpulence. If we confine ourselves to one dish we know when we've had enough we don't know oth erwise-and the result is that we soon drop down to the slimness natural to children, animals and temperate and healthy men and women"

RULE OF THE ROAD.
Decided Abroad by the Sword ant
 Lana hu %hA Gmn

Decided Abroad by the Sword and
 Here by the Gun.
 Several travellers were seated in the hotel lobby discussing the difference in customs of the various countries they had visited. What struck me as most peculiar abroad" said one. ''is the custom of keeping to the left instead of the right, as we do here. Why is the rule reversedT
 q think I can explain that" said reserved looking man in the corner. "In medieval and later periods abroad men were in the custom of wearing swords. The sword was worn, as it is now, on the left side. Consequently in drawing their weapon it was done with the right hand, and to get quick ly upon guard a man had to have his right side to his opponent; hence the custom of keeping to the left.
 ''In America when every man carried his life in his hand on account of say age Indians all men carried guns. The easiest and most natural way to carry a gun, either afoOt or mounted. is over the left arm with the muzzle pointed outward, and it takes but very slight movement to throw the butt against the right shoulder. For that reason the early settlers kept to the right of the road so their weapon could 1n- stantly be brought to bear on any mark that was necessary."-

The Race With the Ram.

In Morocco the strange season of the Mohammedan new year, beginning March g, is generally called "Ait-el- Hanwela," the rain feast. The people of Morocco pay more elaborate atten- ton to the item of sacrifice than any other Moslems. In every town su preme offering of q ram or he goat takes place at the door of the princl- pal mosque. Immediately after 1t Is struck by the official imam in pres ence of the multitude it is flung on the shoulders of stalwart Moor, who. ex erting his utmost strength. runs like H deer through the narrow streets. pur- sued by a rabbe. The poor animal is pelted with stones by boys and is jeered at with execrations from every house, as it is reputed to be carrying the sins of the people. The man rushes along with his burden till he reaches the door of the cadi's palace If the animal is still breathing th" augury is excellent, for good luck i> to be expected all through the yeaI
 But if the ram is dead all sorts of evi prognostications are muttered.

He Started the Trouble.

Mrs. Johnson had begun to learn French and was gleefully informing her husband of the rapid progress she was making in her studies.
 "I'm afraid remarked Johnson. ''that you'll soon grow tired. I've known people tackle foreign tongue. expecting to know all about it in few weeks, but before they have mastered even the rudiments their enthusiasm has evaporated and they have given ui. the task as hopeless"
 "Oh, that's not the case with me-" declared Mrs. Johnson confidently. "i am getting on splendidly, and Pro lessor Dubois says l shall soon begin to think in French"
 Well" the husband murmured, "l won't interpose any further objection. and l shall be glad when you are able to think in French. It will be some thing you have been unable to do in any other languagep

STAGE REALISM.

Why Jefferson Didn't Have . Dog
 Schneider In the Flesh.
 It was the privilege of the writer years ago to attend reception at which Joseph Jefferson spoke on the drama His treatment of the subject was interesting. the utterance of a man who knew the art of which he of the hour came after the completion of the formal address. when an oppor. tunity was given to the audience to ask any questions they wished of MT. Jefferson. Soon the familiar topic was introduced. the effect of the modern ting. Mir. Jefferson at once rose to the question. He spoke somewhat rapidly, with a quaint humOr and sympathetic charm that were irresistible. He char acteriZed the modern fashion of stage setting as "a tribute to the weakness of the human imagination ''I am of ten asked" he went on, why l do not have a real dog Schneider. But if did none of you would he satisfied You would go home saying. Well. Schei- der never looked like that dogr You love Schneider because you have made him out of a piece of your own heart. And then" meditatively, ''if l had a real Schneider some one in the gallery would probably whistle to him at the critical moment, and be would bark and spoil the play, while if he knew his part perfectly and did just what Schneider ought to do"-pausing and with his delightful smile-"Schneider would be the hero and not Rip!' Then, with twinkle of the eye. he summed up the whole matter with the quiet r0- mark, Realism with tail to wag in the wrong place is a dangerous thing. " New York Post

 The officials of the Southern New England railroad company were given a public hearing in the Memorial hall last evening, ou their petition for a layout fer the proposed new line of the company s, known as the Palmer and Providence line. The officials who prs tt.d the petition to the sele otmen and the voters were H. O. Est9p, assistant engineer; A. s. Lycn, his assistant. and Judge Thomas W. Kene6 of Palmer as counsel The layout of the new line petitioned for at last nights hearing was much different from the first one proposed, wLich brought the line to the old North Monson factory in Monson. The one atksd for is from the latest survey, which was made to reduce ex. pense, the fficials claiming the new plan would make the expense $I00, ,O0( less. The layout asked for is from the Palmer station on the east side o' tle Central Vermont tracks to neal the road from the epileptio hospital crossing on the south side of the Fay farm and the north corner of the Cor nelius Foley farm to the main roaC from Palmer to Monson where q presses overhead, the road to b. lowered Eve feet It is to pass on tn, sOubu stuo oA Rbo $uopopB AO@V"o company's factory and the Haw kes ( Ford shoddy company's factory, ant then on trestle over the river, trolle, and Boston and Albany tracks int, Palmer, entering at the east end ot the electric light station on propert, known as the Hancock place.

 Wm. Smith died on Tuesday Ten years ago the loss by death of Mir. Smith would have been considered an almost overwhelming calamity Co the town and village, but at almost that time his health began to fail, and he has dropped so gradually from busy life that his dsoehse at this time ia far less felt. MT. Smith was a self made man. the architect of his own fortune, which is considerable. He began life a comparatively poor man, and built up the large business now carried on by wm. Smith & Co., his son and son-in.law being his partners in later years. He was not in any sense a selfish man. His sympAthies went beyond his own businets, and church, schools, and every pub 10 inc terett get a goodly share. He was a friend to every young business man, and had a helping hand for every meritorious object. The mourners over his deoease are not alone of his own household. MT. Smith was born, we believe, on the old Smith home stead in willingtop, just south of this village, and now the property of his brother, Daniel Smith. Thus he was born, lived and died in this neighbor- hood. He founded, and was Bt hIs death the head of the firm of Wn. Smith & Co.,, importers and dealers in fiocks and wool supplies, and who during a few years past have Rlso ea- tablished in connection with their
 business an extensive manufaotoTy of flocks. The firm lost buildings and much stock by the disastrous fl rod of 1877, but at once rebuilt and resumed
 business. Mir. Smith leaves three children, a son, W. H. Smith, who is
 a partner in the business, a daughter,
 who is the wife of W. H. Cooley, aD-
 other partner, and a younger daugh.
 ter, Annie, who lives at home. Rev. o. O. Painter has asked to be dismissed from the pastorate of tho
