PAUL BEGIN THE NEW YEAR RIGHT Have YOTI figured up YOUR PROFIT and LOSS Why not decide to “CUT OUT” the -LOSS items ONE of the most common “LOSS” items is NOT to OWN YOUR OWN HOME. Wite Wine, e Ui ~. “Of course, one ¢an never win an argument with one's wife & broker the other day. “Even if one s perfectly right i his contention, the fates, or the postoffice department or something else will turn up to make it appear that the man is wrong, For instance, a few days ago my wite remarked that a letter in a plain en- velope dropped in & letter box would be delivered even 1f it had no stamp. Of course I knew better, and told her %0, but she was obstinate. Just to| brave my contentlon when I was at the office the next day I drew a pic- ture of a goose an a sheet of paper. Underneath the [keness I wrote: “Dear Madam: If you pay two cents to get this you are a goose. I put the sheet in a plain envelope and ad- dressed it toc my wife. The mext morning the doorbell rang furlously While T was still in bed. I waited for the wife or the maid to respond, but both had gone out. Finally I went to the door myself. There was a fool letter carrier with that crazy letter, and I had to dig down and pay the two cents postage due. If I had given the letter to my wife she would have been still more firmly convinced that she was right.” —_— Rellcs of Past Grace. Nothing is too queer to happen in some corner of New York, says the press of that city. The other day a business women took a room at what appeared to be an ordinary, small, quiet family hotel on West Forty- fourth street. The morning after her arrival she notived a little old man sit- ting in the long hall which ran by the double parlors. Another man came downstairs and the little old chap Jjumped up and joined him, and togeth- ex they went into the back parlor. Strolling down the hall, she happen- ed to glance through the open door of the back parlor. There she saw the two men on their knees at a couch, fervently praying aloud. The business woman passed her hand across her . brow. “Have I got ’em?” she mur mured, “or have I got into the foolish house?” Later she discovered that the hotel had in former years beem a “home” connected with a church, and that al- though it long since passed under sec- ular management some of the old-time brethren still haunt it. Powder Mill Precautions. The one thing to guard against in a powder mill Is a spark of fire. To avold that the utmost precautions are taken. In the first place, the plant Is located so far from a raflroad track that a spark from a passing locomo- tive can never reach it. The grass and weeds are not permitted to grow bigh enough around it so that when they become dry a fire could reach the plant by that means. Strangers are kept off the grounds. Smoking Is not permitted in or near the plant. The workmen are not permitted to carry matches. They are not allowed to wear shoes with pegs or nails in them. They wear “powder boots,"” made with soft soles that have no pegs or nails in them. An iron pail in a’ boot sole might strike a spark on the floor. Iron Is not permitted to touch iron on the plant. This is one inflexible law of all powder mills. The hammers that are used are all of wood or brass or copper, which cannot strike a spark. ‘The cogwheels that run together are of brass or copper for the same son. The journals of the wheels are of copper or brass.—Kansas Oity Star. Famous Snuff Taki The eighteenth century was the age of snuff taking par excellence. The custom was general among all classes of people. It was an act of politeness for well bred men to offer their snuff- boxes to well bred women. Women themselves carried their own boxes and interchanged pinches with the gen- tlemen. At fashlonable dinner parties after the cloth was removed snuff- boxes were passed around.

You are invited. Bolingbroke. S8wift and Congreve, Ad- dison and Steele, all Indulged In the pleasures of snuff. Dr. Johnson car- rled bis snuff in the capacious pockets. of his waistcoat and would convey it to his nose without stint. He could not abide the narrow confines of a box. Frederick the Great resembled bhim In this respect. Both Napoleon and Wel- lington were prodigious snuff takers, but Washington indulged only moder- ately. Jefferson was fond of snuff, as bis ‘waistcoat and frill often showed. Henry Clay was another famous snuff taker and often needed the stimulus of a pinch when making a speech.—Pear- son’s. Nothing to Wear. The fact is that women are uncom- fortable If they are not fashionably dressed. No man understands the sub- tle and complex significance of the phrase “nothing to wear.” Witness the distressed but utterly puzzled ex- pression that overspreads a man’s face at the words. He knows that bis wife or his sister looks charming in ‘“the blue one” or “the lace one” or “the one with the jet.” She bas looked charming in it often enough for him at last to identify it, and that, unless he is an exception to bis sex, is very of- ten. He is cheerfully getting into bis evening coat for the fiftieth time. No wonder he does not realize that some frock which the first time it 1s worn made for triumpb should the tenth time make for humiliation. But the most strong minded ‘woman—the wo- man who will, if-necessary, go to the opera on a gala night in a coat and skirt—at heart exonerates.the woman who so foolishly, for the reason men- tioned, stays at home.—Atlantic Month- | Proof of a Conspiracy. _The following story is told in ex- planation of the reason why the teach- ing of chemistry in Turkish schools was forbidden some years ago. It had been proposed that this sefence should be added to the curriculum, but the remarked |~ first thing that struck the eyes of the ruler of the faithful on opening an ele- | mentary textbook of chemistry ‘was the formula. for water, H20. “Here,” sald the sultan, “is proof of a conspir- acy to undermine my authority in the H two Ol s | eyes of my subjects lmmnx, but’a sly. TESTING - HIS STRONG WILL Concelted Club. Man Caught In tompt to Prove Superlority of His Mental’ Powers. At one of the clubs the other:day two members were arguing about will power. - The conceited man, who was in the habit of boring all present with his pointless ‘tales, said that his will WAas stronger than his friend’ “You are wrong the: said the quiet man, “and I will prove it in thig ‘way. You go and stand in that cor and I will will you to come out of it. You will against me, and I bet You that I will have you from that cor. ner before I have commanded you a second time.” The smart one took the bet, and put himself in the corner. The quiet man sald, in & commanding voic ‘Come out of that corner! The other grinned and shook his head. The qulet man sat down and looked at him steadily. Five minutes passed, and then the man of will said, with a sneer:— “Hadn't you better give it up? 1 don’t feel any influence at all, and I cant‘stand here all the evening. “There 18 no hurry,” man, “and I have a very comfortable #eat. There 18 no time limit except that you are to come out before I ask you twice, and as- 1 don't intend to ask you again until this day week, I think you will feel the influence be fore then.” The smart one came out. SWALLOWS ARE VERY BOLE One Builds Nest In a House and An other Establishes Home on Electric Light Lamp. A very curious instance of boldness in swallows was recorded in 1886 from Ceylon. In this case the birds built over a lamp in the dining room; ‘what made their choice of site more remarkable ‘was the fact that the lamp could be raised or lowered by counter welghts and the conneoting chains auctually passed through the mud walls. of the nest. Occasfonally the bird selects a nest: ing site which invites comparison with the boldness of the robin. In July last a pair of swallows took advantage of the open window of an umnoccupled bedroom in a house at Felmersham in Bedfordshire to begip building their nest on the curtain rod of the bed. The return of the owner of the ‘house and his occupation of the bed did not in the least dfsturb or alarm the birds, which completed the nest and brought off three nestlings within geven weeks of the house owner’s re- turn. They took no notice of the oc- cupant of the bed when flying in and out of the window feeding thelir young; but the hen bird would fly off tBe nest if any one entered the room during the daytime. E ‘Three years ago a pair of swallows bullt their nest on top of the shade of an electric lamp which hangs outside the asylum at, Narborough, near Lelcester.—Bally's- Magazine. Murphy' Rides Far. Thomas W. Murphy, who was the largest winning driver over the Grand circuit this year with R. T. C., Charlie Mitchell, Lady Isle, Sir R and other well known harness horses, with $73, 000 to his credit, rode 295 miles in his races, not counting the distance trav- eled while scoring. Of the 295 miles raced 155 were made in time better than 2.10. Up Agalnst It. Hokus—Why ‘don’t you try to get & fob? Pokus—Employers prefer to hire married men. Hokus—Then why don’t you get married?
