WAYS OF DIETING.

Someone said that there are a hundred ways to reduce. Fat can be boiled off-you see this every day in the steam rooms of Turkish ba ths. It can be baked oTfi-electrically heated ovens come so gruesome in appearance they would have delight ed the leaders of the Spanish In quis:tion. It can be drugged off the market is full of patent prescrip- tions guaranteeing to make you young and slender even while you eat everything your fancy dictates in as great quantities as your stomach will hold.
 Lastly, it can be taken off by the much more natural process of being re-absorbed into the system. Bears and all other hybernating animals do this over the winter. The camel does it when he stores up fat for his long trip into the desert. and man
 can do the same if he only exercises his will power.
 I always remember the story of the Parisian banker weighing some hundreds of pounds who filched all the money he could, and then fled to a small town. He spent every day in a Turkish bath literally boiling the
 fat away. After some weeks he sent for his wife who did not recognize
 him. Certain that no one else could. he boldly went out into the streets, only to be arrested at the next cor
 her, not as the runaway banker but as a strange and suspicious object of humanity. It was evident to the police that he had once been fat. for dry skin hung n folds all over him, so they locked him up and fed him starch, and when he filled out again | they knew who he was. The won der is that he lived through such a violent treatment. Reducing should | be slow as well as sure.

And Now They're Teaching It by
 PhonOpHanh.

Husbands and wives should learn French together out of a, book, then each will know that there is at least one person in the world. who will understand. They can, in time, speak French around the house with perfect fluency. They will have no trouble at all until they take their French out for a wa1k-unti1 they introducs 1t into society. Then, if people think they are speaking Italian or Russian even then they will not have much trouble.
 When several self-taught French students get together for the first time for a conversational bout, it sounds like m argument among South Sea Islander, a Turk, Flo-e..- tine and an Esperantist.

 'I have been here forty years,' said the cashiers assistant, with con- scious pride, "and in all that time I only made one slight mistake"

 So they went in and searched, but without success, for the Frenchlnan could not read, and therefore had not stopped.

IF I WE'RE A KING.

If I were king, I'd take my crown
 And hook it quick. That's one best
 bet.
 I'd take my robes of errnine down
 And get on them what I could get. If I were king right now, I think
 I'd realize and swell my pile; I'd know that I was on the blink
 And kings were going out of style. The royal jewels I would pawn
 The diamonds and pearls sublime; I'd rise tomorrow morn at dawn
 And beat it while there yet was
 time.
