Dressing for the Party.

On the trolley the other day there
were two winsome damsels hanging to
straps and entertaining each other in
sparkling conversation about what
they were going to wear at some funo-
ton that was soon to happen, accord
ing to a writer in the Ohio State
Journal. They told of their shoes,
their stockings, their lingerie, the
skirts, the bodices, the neckwear,
their hats, their gloves and every item
Of their garb and the material thereof,
and their conversation seemed almost
symphony in velvets, silks, jewels,
that one could imagine them entering
the drawing room in pink, tulle and
lowered wolfe, the objects of the adj
miring gaze Of all the company.
We would have given a S. bank
note If we could have caught that con-
versation on dictagraph. By the
way, why don't the record people get
couple of these fascinating damsels
together and have them tell what they
are going to wear to a party? It would
be very interesting talk, as one might
imagine, if he had seen that whole
car using their auricles in every sort
Of fashion to catch the mellifluous &C
cents of those gentle maidens telling
what they were going to wear.

Dead as q Doornaii.

The phrase dead as a doornail'' orig
mated in this way: In early days,
when door knockers were common, the
plate upon which the knocker struck
was sometimes called a nail. In the
course of years it was struck SO often
that all life was supposed to be knock
ed out Of it. Therefore when it be-
came necessary to refer to anything
hopelessly lifeless it was merely an
emphatic expression to say that it was
''as dead as a doornail. "-London Tele-

A FANTASTIC FRIGATE.
Ii Captain Did the Best He Could
With the Paint He Had.


With the Paint He Had.
Before the days of steel ships the
allowance Of paint in the British navy
was very small, and sometimes the Of
f1cers had to pay large sums in order
that their ships might maintain de-
cent appearance.
Sir John PhiIEmore resorted to a
curious expedient either to soften the
heart of the navy board or, if that
ion Of the situation. He painted one
side Of his yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest Of the black
paint in printing on the other side in
large letters, mo More Paintv'
The navy board wrote to call his at
tention to the improperly Of his con-
duct and signed themselves, as they
always did officially, "Your affection
ate friends" Sir John made reply that
he could not obliterate the ohjectiona-
Bile letters unless he were given more
paint, and signed himself in turn,
'Your affectionate friend, John Philli-
more"
The naval authorities then called his
attention to the improperly Of the sig,
nature, to which Sir John responded
In acknowledging the letter that he re-
GREETED that the paint had not been
sent and ending. II am no longer your
affectionate friend, John Phillimore."
His h1gate was permitted to retain
her original yellow, and thus the navy
board punished Sir Johns imperti

FRENCH SAYINGS.

Merit is often an obstacle to
success, for the reason that it
ever produces two bad effects
envy and fear.
The most certain consolation
against all that can happen is
always to expect the worst
The land of marriage has this
peculiarity-that strangers are
DESTROYS Of tnhabiting 1t, while
its natural inhabitants would
willingly be exiled from It.
The man who is most slow In
promising is most sure to keep
his word.
Love often makes a fool of the
cleverest men and as often gives
cleverness to the most foolish.
True courage is shown by do
ing, without witnesses, that
which a man is capable of doing

RESENT INTRUSION or MAN
Wild Elephants Greatly Retard Work

The strongest opponents to the adj

elephants. They break down fences,
trample gardens, pull up trees and
even telegraph poles, for no other ap-

negroes, had tied up on the edge Of
