FINE SAMPLES OF REPARTEE
Recorded Wit That Has Not Aiways Been Without a Sting 10 Cred-
 tied to Many.

Recently we have been confessing to liking for special repartee. Here are few more that meet our per sonal notion of that kind of wit
 When Sydney Smith was advised to have his portrait painted by Lsnd- seer he asked:
 Is thy servant dog that he should do this thing?"
 The same Sydney Smith, who. you will remember, was a clergyman, was in an argument. His opponent, pro yoked, cried out: If l had son who was an idiot 1 would make him . parson. "
 Your father" replied Smith,. was of different opinion"
 A story is told of Henry Clay that is also applied in earlier history to d member of parliament. A long winded member of congress said: You, sir, speak for the present gen. eration, but speak for posterity."
 "It seems," replied Clay, "you are resolved to speak until your audience arrives"
 Also in this connection the follow ing comes to mind:
 The Duchess of Gordon-Have you been talking as much nonsense as usual, Mir. Pitt?
 Pitt am not sure, but I think that since 1 saw your grace I have not heard so much.-Harper's Week. R.

GREAT FAULT OF AMERICANS
Unconscious Waste of Nervous Energy Seems to Be National Failing
 of Our People.

While reading his newspaper the American business man grabs his monday meal from a crowded lunch counter, in ten minutes, to hurry back to the office or to keep an ap- pointment, never allowing his sto'n- ach even five minutes to take care of what he has eaten. He forces his blood to the brain to do mental work when it should be in the stomach digesting his food He hurries, about all day as if his very life de. pended upon his speed. He crowds into day what a European would take several days to accomplish. and then he wonders why he suffers from dyspepsia and insomnia. why he is nervous. irritable, prematurely old when he should be just in his prime.
 Very few people ever learn the art of mental and physical economy. I know men who do almost everything with a great, unconscious nervous re- sistance. They do not come in per- feet freedom to the thing they wish to do They are worrying, they are thinking. there IS constant subcon- scious anxiety about something else than that which they are doing. Their minds are on a stretch and strain, wondering how something else will turn out or will be done. ;<
 In other words. they are uncon- sciously expcnding great deal off surplus energy. And with this un- dercurrent of trouble a leakage is going on all the time which exhausts the vitality and prevents vigorous concentration of mind upon the thing in hand.-Nautilus.

HIS VISITOR WAS SHAGGY
Disconnected the Tired New York Business Man, Whose Window
 Was Open.

X tired business man from out of town entertained a party at supper on Thanksgiving eve in one of the Broadway restaurants, and he was still more tired when he awoke late yesterday in his room at the Waldorf. A dull light came in from .the court upon which his window gave, and it served to increase his feelingrof lassi- tude. Perhaps, he reflected, seda- tive would help some.
 So he got up and groped his way into the bathroom, found the bottle with the medicine in it, and returned to where the icewater was. While he was in the act of measuring the dose dark object intruded itself be- tween the outside world and him. He stared at it. It was shaggy. He let out whoop.
 Dropping the bottle and glass, he sprang to the telephone. A friendly little whine was somewhat reassur- ing, but his nerves were unstrung. Therefore it was that moment later the clerk in the office downstairs was getting this message from the clerk of that floor:
 ''The gentleman in 399 says he wants somebody to hurry and get out of his room an animal that has sud- denly appeared in it. He says it is shaggy and has four legs, and whines like dog. and"
 "Yes after pause-"he says 1t Is dog But he wants someone to hurry up and get it out"
 It turned out that the room the tired man occupied has its sill almost on level with the roof of the palm garden, and that the woman who owns the dog had room on the same level Doggie slipped out of her window for a promenade and, finding the mans window open, dropped in to pay call.-New York Times

JAPANESE COTTON OUTPUT.

Japanese cotton mills employed at the end of 1913, 2,4l4,544 spin dles. which turned out about 130, ,0O0 bales of yarn q month. Of this out put forty thousand bales are for home consumption, while the rest is exported. If the present plans of the mill owners are carried out, about two hundred thousand more spindles will be installed this year, which will increase the output to about one hundred and fifty thousand bales a month.
