Brewer, In hi* talk the other day before tne youth at Tale, dwelt particularly upon the subject of true pollteneu, and told by way of argu ment of a brother alumnus: "Secre tary Taft la the politest man alive; I heard that recently he arose In a street car and gave hla seat to three women.” The secretary might have shown a little of that polltene.a to the young lady who applied recently for a gov ernment place, and who, after passing a very creditable mental examination, waa Informed by the examiners that she was too fat. Thereupon, we are Informed, she made a personal plea to Mr. Taft, hoping to find some sympa thy in hla bulk, but failed, and she simply received a regimen of diet to adopt—something to mar that develop ing comeliness. Now, though leanness.may be no ab solute disadvantage to a man, I con tend It Is a great disaster for a woman, for beauty la her life, and beauty con sists chiefly in the rounded limb and graceful curve. The most recherche toilet, the best dressmaker In the world, cannot supply certain absences or hide angles. Why, even the savage Instinct recognises the charm of fe male plngultude and takes care that It Is properly cultivated, more particu larly, perhaps, with their captives. The latter la such a well known fact that a religious mother, who, in bidding her missionary son good-bye, ended her farewell with this admonishment: "My dear boy, If your fleshly comeliness should excite their appetite and they should eat you, promise me that you will try and disagree with them.” True, there are persons who are destined to be over plump, and this physical truth has often led me to an ticipate for some dear little creature, with rounded arms, dimpled cheeks and hands, and pert little nose, fresh and blooming, the admiration of everyone— when placed In Juxtaposition with her ripened mother—a foredoom. I cast a rapid and mental glance through the next ten or twenty years of her life, and I behold those charms In another light, and I sigh Internally. This an ticipated compassion Is a painful feel ing and gives one more proof that we would be very unhappy If we could foresee the future—yet, on holding the glass closer, I see also the develop ing of a warm, motherly heart, the kindly, benevolent dlsposltoln, the Oomprehenlsve charity, nnd a con science void of offense, the usual at tributes of the stout. Excessive cor pulence In man or woman has Its In conveniences. It becomes a serious matter when n man, by reason of fat ness, cannot stoop to lace his shoes, knew of one who was compelled to go downstairs slowly backwnrd, an acro- batlc feat that you or I, dear reader, wouldn’t care to practice, but entirely safe with this gentleman, who. ’ de scending backward, Inclined forward, puffing and blowing even with that lit tle exertion. A man of average build can weigh 300 pound, and not be called obese. It may be that such a one Is not quail* fled to exhibit himself as n dancer on a tight rope or to take flying leaps a la harlequin; nor would I place odds on him In a long Walk against Weston —still he has his compensations. As a burglar he would be as much out of place and ns little to be feared as wns Kalstnff at Gndahlll. And one might go on and argue from this standpoint that corpulence In the outward sign of not only a good constitution, but of In ward rectitude and virtue. For It Is a notable fact that no fat man ever convicted of the crime of murder —the average weight of murderers on record Is placed at 165 pounds; be yond that figure there Is seemingly no Impulse toward homicide; and stout persons are seldom revengeful. Few fat house-breakers, or hall thieves, or second-story men are led to the crlmlnnl bar. No, It Is your lean, wiry fellow, who forces himself through a window sash: that goes on tiptoe through the hallways, and up the stairs, and glides cat-like Into the up per chambers while the family are nt dinner. And to conclude this argu ment. what maiden lady, nfter her long searches, has ever discovered a fat man under her bed? Truly, Cnetar’s obser vation was a shrewd one: Let me have men about me that are fat; Sleek-headed meA, and such as sleep o’ nights. The question Is how to preserve a medial proportion—one that has pui- tled the sages In medicine for nil time, and given birth to alt the anti-fat rem edies. It seems to me that nature, by limiting the number of man’s canine teeth, has distinctly Indicated that an imal food ought to form the smallest pdrtlon of his nutriment, nnd when he gets beyond, to a question of no teeth, why. there remains porridge or bread and milk—a most excellent nutriment, as was substantiated by the old lady, held up the other day, who had lived, iccordlng to her confession to the ludge. for the Inst twenty of her 105 years on the Inner. Vegetarians have also their argument offer In decrying utterlv all animal food, hut It has always been a ques- llnn In mv mind whether Nebuchad- nexar’s hallucination In the way of pasturage was not prompted by a nat ural Instinct. In mv opinion, n mixed diet Is the he**, nnd temoerapee In both food and drink the one thing to observe. Cor. Edgewood Are. and Boulevard.

Mark Twain, then tbe editor of a email newspaper, wrote the following since famous reply to many of hla would-be contributors. To youngsters of the present day It may seem odd that rotulltloua jw> seemingly up-to-date pre vailed so many years a go; nud Twain tuny In one of his chuckling moments still smile to think that the world has uot changed. Every tnan who becomes editor of a newspaper or inagaslne straightway be gins to receive manuscrlps from literary aspirants, together with requests that he will deliver Judgment upon the same; and. after complying In eight or ten Instances, hi* finally takes refuge lu a general sermou on the subject, which he inserts In his publication and always afterward refers such correspondents to that sermon for answer. I have at last reached this sta tion in my literal? career nnd proceed to construct my public sermon. As all letters of the sort I am speaking of contain the very same matter, differ ently worded, I offer, as n fair average specimen, the Inst one I have received. “Mark Twolu, Esq.: Dear Hlr—I am a youth Just out of school and ready to •tart In life. I have looked nround, but don’t see anything that suits exactly. Is a literary life easy and profitable, or Is It the hard times It Is generally put up for? It must be easier than a good many If uot most of the occupations, and I feel drawn to launch out on It, make or break. •Ink or swim, survive or perish. Now what are tbe conditions of success lu lit erature'/ You need not bp afraid to paint the thing Just as It Is. I can t do any worse than fall. Everything else offers the same. When I thought of the law—yes. nnd five or six other professions—I. found the same thing wns the case every time, vix., all full overrun, every profession so crammed that success Is rendered impos sible—too many bands and not enough work. But I must try something, nud so 1 turn nt last to literature. Something tells me that that Is the true bent of my genius If I hare any. I Inclose soma of my pieces. Will you read hem over aud give me your candid opinion of them? And uow, I hate to trouble you, but you have been a young man yourself, and what I want Is for you to get me a uowspnper Job of writing to do. You know* many news* paper neonle. and I — ——• And 1 for ut**, luuiiifu i n« mil expect worn ujikui be called high wages nt first, of course.

An early ‘Ply. etc. Yours, etc.” I will answer yon In good faith. Whether (by remarks shall hnve soy great value or uot, or my suggestions lie worth following, are problems which I take great pleasure In leaving entirely to you for solution. To begin: There are several quentlous lu your letter which only u man’s life ex perience cnn eventually answer for him— not another man’s words. I will simply •kip these. 1. Literature, Ilka tha ministry, medicine and the law, nnd nil other occupations. Is cramped nnd hludered for wnnt of men to do tue work, not want of work to do. When people tell you the reverse they peak thnt which Is not true. If you da- Ire to test this you need only hunt up a first-class editor, reporter, busbies* man age!*. foreman of a shop, mechanic or artist POWER OF MONEY By TRISTAN BERNARD. W hen James first came to Paris hi* fortune amounted to Just exactly one iff dred and fifty francs. It would’hav.. iW. possible to live for two months while io«L for » posltldn, but he preferred froi the beglnufug to find a very difficult ran. lag which required great ability nnd i . ferent other talents, and most excitin* all callings which allows for no recrrati.i and no vacation. Fully convinced th?t 2 would succeed, he chow the calling of di lug nothing. He first bought himself an elegant travel. Ing suit, and second-hand trunk of cms manufacture, almost covered with l«w2 with the names of all the most prominent hotels In Swltserland and Riviera. 1 To 58 this trunk heavy he bought old newsn« M n for two francs. Then he hired a cilTS transport himself and his bngenge to th» exclusive hotel. ’’The NonreiJan Tiger’’ Arrived here, he took a small comfort, able apartment and of. the fifty francs h* •till had left, he gave the waiter*. i*n. l»oya and chambermaids thirty as tint When he had done that he bought a mrai ticket nt a restaurant. “The Jimmy.” At Duvals, the famous Canadian tailor he ordered ten different suits; erenln* dress, business suit and s smoking Jacket* Prince Albert, golf suit, and riding mit- be examined the goods for each very care* fully and spoke like s connoisseur, of tha cut and the making. At Tenilnore’s be ordered such a detec tion of neckties and shirts that King Ed ward would have turned jealous with enrj This done be bought for three francs ten pneumatic postal cards, nnd. retiring to hfs room, he wrote something In differ ent handwriting on each of them and eigne. 4 , them with different names. He then went out, took a cab for another part of tbq not get a day’s holiday ... _ of hfs employer, or of his city, or of the general gront public. But If you need Idlers, shirkers, half-instructed, unambi tious nnd comfort-seeking editors, reporter*, lawyers, doctors and mechanics apply any where. There are millions of them to lie had at the dropping *of the handkerchief. 2. No; I must not nnd will not venture any opinion whatever ns to literary merit of your productions. The public Is tbe only critic whose Judgment Is worth any thing at. all. Do not take my poor word for this, but reflect a moment nud take your own. For Instance, If Sylvnnus Cobb or T. 8. Arthur had submitted their maiden manuscripts to you yon would hnve said, with tears In your eye*. “Now, please don’t write any more!” But you see your self how popular they are. And If It had been left to you you would have said the “Marble Fann” waa tiresome, and that even “Paradise leant" lacked cheerfulneaa; but you know bow they sell. Many wiser and better people ft****» you pooh-poohed • Weapon re even as lata as two centuries ago, but still that olu party has outlived those people. No. 1 will not sit In Judg ment upon your literature. If I honestly *—“—*y praised “ ' * ngerlng gi_ til's'll iiir- |,ui'iivj If I honestly nnd »«*••- sclent lously condemned It I might thus rob tbe world of a Dickens or a Shake- •pen re. 3. I shrink from hunting up literary labor for you to do and receive pay for. When ever your literary productions have proved for themselves that they hnve a real value you will never hnve to go around huiitlug for remunerative literary work to do. You will require more hands than you hnve now, and more brains than you probably ever will have, to do even half of the work that will be offered you. Now, In order to arrive nt the proof of value, here- Inlicfnre spoken of, one needs only to adopt n very simple nnd certainly very sure process; nnd that Is to write without pay until sonielHidy offers pay. If nobody offers pay within three years, the candidate may look ti|M)ii this circumstance with the most Implicit confidence that sawing wood la wluit he wns Intended for. If he has any wisdom at nil. then lie will retire wit** dignity aud assume his heaven-uppoliifed vocation. Ill the nlmve remarks I have only offered A course of notion which Mr. Dickens nnd moat other successful literary nieu have had to follow; but It Is a course which will find no sympathy with my client, per haps. The young literary aspirant Is n very, very curious creature. He kuowe that If he wished to become n tinner the master smith would require him to prove ssession of n good olioracter. and require him to promise to stay In op three years— possibly four—and make him sweep out and briug water and build tiros all the first year, nnd let him learn to black stoves In the Inter vals; nnd for them* good, honest services would pay him two suits of cheap clothes iioiiiiU- ins• nuu mu uuiinrs huiiiu m - bled the third year and three tbe fourth, and then. If he had become n first rate tin ner, he would get about fifteen or twenty, may lie. thirty dollars a week, with never possibility of getting seventy-five while he lived. If he wunted to become n me- ‘ ihlc of anv other kind he would have undergo this same tedious. Ill-paid ap prenticeship. If he wanted to liecoiue a lawyer or doctor he would have fifty times worse, for he would get nothing nt alt during his long apprenticeship, and In addition would have to pay a (urge sum for tuition, nud hnve the privilege or (man!- lug and clothing hliuself. The literary as pirant knows all this, and yet he has the hardihood to present himself for reception Into the literary guild, and ask to share Its high honors nnd emoluments without ft single twelve-mouths’ apprenticeship to show In excuse for Ills presumption! He would smile pleasantly If he were asked to make even so simple a thing as a ten* cent tin dipper without previous Instruc- *’ m In the art; but, all green and Ignorant, »n|y. iNimiNiusly assertive, i.f^rrnniinstl* eal. with a vague, distorted kuowledge of men and the world nequtred In a back ■ountry Ullage, he will serenely take up mi dniigerous n weapon ns a pen nnd attack the most formidable subject that flnanee. commerce, war or politics can furnish him withal. It would lie laughable If It weru uot so sail nnd pitiable. The poor fellow would not Intrude the tin shop with out an apprenticeship, but Is willing to •else and wield with unpractical! hand aa city and mailed the cards, addressed to himself In bis hotel. When he went hark In the afternoon, those poatal cards sere lying on tha desk In the office of the hotel and It Is hardly necessary to say thnt tbe wife of the hotel keeper had rend them. Here la what they contained: Mr. George James: Dear Sir—At your request I have mid part of your live stock and implement!. .Should you at any time desire me to sell the castle with the park and farming land, ns well as the seventy horses which ar« still left, I shall be very pleased to do bo. 1 remain, youra very respectfully, VJ.YAIGREK. On another waa written, lu a careleu hand—notary public writing: My Dear Jamea—What Is the matter with you? Why don’t you come and see me aoj more? Now. do be a good boy and let me hare the pleasure of seeing you for dinner tomorrow. Always yours. HENRI D’ORLEANS. The next postal card was written in a lady’s handwriting, and said: The pearl necklace is simply grand, dar ling. You really spoil tue. Be sure to come tonight. FREDEGUNDE DB BRUNEJAULT. One afternoon James came Into tbe aboo of his tailor. He aeemed to be In quite a hurry and Immediately asked for M. Duval to whom he said: ,T My dear Duval, aro rou able to oblige me with a thouaand francs? At 5 o’clock I will return It to you, nnd I shall be exceedingly oblige) thnt you lmve aared me tbe trouble of going to the bnnk.” Now there ore things which one should never say to people wno are Buffering with catarrh of tbe atomacb. The face of ton good Duval turned a sickly grey, bat bo reasoned that he waa already. In for It, having delivered suite to tbe value of three thousand franca to this customer. If ba now refused to lend him the one thousand francs, he thereby confessed to himself thnt he had given credit foolishly and to admit that to himself would, affect hla digestion, so he preferred tt> lend V. James the thousand franca, without an; •how of enthusiasm, however. James returns to bis hotel. He walks un to the counter and asks with hla. uaaal pleasant manner: “Are there any letters for me, Madame Tlbere?” . . , Then he tnkes out hla pocket book and opens It nnd aaya: “Would you pleas# change this thouaand franc bill for mo aod let me bare smaller bills and gold Instead Hnif an hour l.ter. he walk, into the ihn of hi. hnUTdn.her.
