C.; aboot aa far ORIENTAL COURTESY. tw leeideat araieh Wise a Figured. Mist Anna Dickinson traveled every where Independently and saw human north of Kay Weat as she la south of Danville, Va. Ignorance of tho extent of Florida leads to many amusing mis takes. We sometime! bear the rail roads of the etate charged with mak ing poor time. Why. It takes over twenty .four houn to go from Pensa cola to Miami. The man who wakes this remark would think be was travel ing on a flier If he made the trip from Pensacola to Chicago In the same length of time It would take him to go to Miami. But there la rery little dif ference In the distance. A land trip from one end of Florida i > the other la aa long aa from the lake* to the gulf. A citizen of Maine who makes up bis mind to come south may get on the can and puas through Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti cut, New York, New Jersey. Pennsyl vania. Delaware, Maryland, the Dis trict of Columbia and fur Into Virginia. When be lias done this he has taken no longer rhle tbau he coukl have tak en by an equally direct line from one Florida town to another, and there ure some men green enough to think they an making poor time when they flint It takes them longer to go from Pensa cola to Miami than from the eastern to the western side of Maine. Of course the old stagen da not make these amusing mistakes. They bare a pntty clear conception of the geogra phy of Florida. There an many, how ever, who come on their first visit with very haxy bless of the state.—Florida Tlmes-L'nlon.

'All the English arc mail by nature or by fashion.” Chateaubriand wrllei nonchalantly In the hook of his em bassy In Condon (1821), but he had n very gay time with the same lunatte.i. tVe hear of dinners, Almack's and lc beau mondc. "Tho dny was thus ilia trlhuted In London: At 0 o'clock lu the morning one hastened to a party of pleaaure, consisting of a breakfast lu tho country: one returned to lunch lu London; oce changed one’s dress to walk In Bond street or Hyde park; one dressed again to dine at 7AO: one dressed again for the open; at mid night one dressed once more far aa evening party or root What a life of ouchantmouta!

Bbe said that she saw a serv ant coming toward her with a box di vided Into many compsrtmpots. with different kinds of nuts enjFcandles in the smaller trey*. She picked oat half a dozen or man and laid them oa the arm of the chair, which served a* s ta ble. Aa tbe attendant passed on to c'.lien she saw that each took only one bonbon, and sbe wan much embar rassed. But when the *ervnot approached tbe chief C'blnaman, tbe one wbo bad orig inated the reception, be took a large handful, nnd those after him did the same, and then Miss Dickinson felt re lieved. Bbe wrote: “After I learned that l must have shocked nil of those educated, cultured Chinamen ns much as you or I should liavo been shock:-.1 If we had Invited a Chinaman wboi.i we respected to dine with us and be bad tnhen n whole trial chicken and torn It Ihah from, limb at our table. In such mi event would you or I have bad the tact and courtesy to have taken other chickens and thos dismembered them?" RUSSIAN WOMEN. The Maay Itestrlrtloas lo Wklib They Are See Subjected. It la difficult for an American to an deretand that freedom as we know It does not exist In Russia. There tbe le gal position of woman Is far from sat isfactory. She hardly ever belongs to herself, hut Is always under the tute lage of some one. As a daughter the Russian woman t» under the entire control of her pnreuts. Her coming of age does not niter her position. She simply changes the au thority of her parents for the no less rigid authority of ber husband. Aa the Russian statute puts It, ”Ouo jierion cannot reasonably lie expected to fully satisfy two such unlimited powers as that of husband and parent” Tbe unlimited power of the parent Is withdrawn and that of the husband substituted. She cannot leare ber lord eren to rlslt a neighboring town with out a “pass" from him. U* names tbe time she la permitted to- stay, and at the end of that rim* she Is bound to re turn to get tbe pees renewed. A husband may appear la • court of law as a witness against bis wife, bat a wife la not allowed to appear against ber buaband. A woman's evidence In Russia la always regarded aa of loss weight Rum that of a man.—Harper’s Weekly. DEFY HARD LUCK. tkkrirj of 1‘orn-r- Wtnga.

A DltB of WholFfiAMP Advice For the I'naloliU. Don't talk about your bnr.l luck. ItefUNe to recognize it. Uefuse to be lieve lu It. Hcoru to whine about it. Get the whine out of your voice, or It will stop the development nud growth of your body. It will iiarrow and shrink yam* mind. It will drive away your friend*. It will make you unpop ular. QUit your whining; brace up; go to be something; Miami for some thing; till your place lu tl»e tni-.-.-v*. Instead of wldniug arodbd. ouly pity and contempt. #Xce uluv. i make something of yourself. Bench up to the stature of a stroug. euuohllng womanhood, to the beauty and strength n suiwrb womanhood. There I* nothiug the matter with you. Just quit your whining nnd go to work. If you continually talk about your bad luck nnd moan about your III for* tune, you create for yourself an atmoa* phere of misfortune which will certain ly overwhelm you unless you stop lu time. The man or woman who persistently fears that auch nnd such a thing la not going to turn out weft is enlisting pow erful forces against success.—Boston Traveler. ( OLD PEOPLE Their Pains and Ailments Any taint of the blood quickly shows itself with old people, and troubles, .which a younger, more vigorous con stitution holds in check, take possession of those of ad vanced years. A mole, wart or pimple olten begins to in- ... . flame and fester, terminating in a sore that refuses to heal. Wandering pains of a rheumatic character are almost constant, the joints get stiff and themus- cles lore, while sleeplessness and nervousness make life a burden.
