Speaking of society, rot always the poorest. “Ex” usually denotes a has-been, but an exhorter is one who is still at it. A man is often said to be feeling his oats when in reality he is feeling his rye. The man who doesn’t think he has the smartest baby on earth has no baby. When a man has never been dis- satisfied he can never enjoy content- ment. It takes a clever woman to maké the story of her acies and Seay in- teresting. Judge a man by the expression of his mouth and a woman by the ex- pression of her tongue. It’s surprising how very geod a mas is to his wife the day after she gets next to one of his secrets. Men who mind their own business are usually successful becauws they have very little competition. the worst "is ¢ RUSSIAN PROVERBS. Russia is a land c2 many proverbs, | a large mumber of which lose j point when translated into Englisa. Among some uw tie best, however, are: Home is a full cup.

It tekes a rich man to enjoy the pleasures of poverty. 4 Farmers and washerwomen get a living out cf the soil. Bacon can be cured by smoking, but the tobacco habit can’t. Kleptomania is said to be the most lucrative form of insanity. “Most young men get a lot of rye mixed with their wild oats. A locomotive engineer can make his own headlight by tanking up. Somehow cut-diamond rates are al- ways higher than the original prices. The man who wins a half-mile dash _ starts out afoot and comes in ahead. Men may boast of their honesty, but only women return borrowed umbrel- las. The mountaineer always takes a peak when he wants to obtain a good view.

Preachers may not amount to much as carpenters, but they are elcid ex- pert joiners. Some wives are so jealous they won’t even allow their husbands hug a delusion.

Fewer marriages would be failures if the contracting parties were not such hypocrites during courtship. Formerly the office sought the man, but at the present stage of the game it is kept busy trying to dodge him. An English paper says there are 250,000 women married annually in London. The average Chicago woman thinks she is overdoing it if she mar- ries three times in five years. Probably a smal boy never so thor- oughly realizes that fighting is wicked as.when he is getting the worst of the encounter.—Chicago Ne FLASHES OF THOUGHT. Fact teaches yan when to be silent.
