It should , be mentioned in her favor
that she was also observant and
that she was disposed to be fairly
just m some of her remarks The
conversation had been intersting to
the jieople in the L car m which
the ™„„,. tot when Ut. r
touched upon the subject of men
who weep the passengers dropped
all pretense and gave the young
n-fi-fta. Udr -ah*M «—
It was the woman in . the .. new seal- ,
skin jacket who introduced the topic,
"Their profound seifishnesi is what
irritates me,” she remarked, gating
absently at a stout man who sat op
is*ute. and who promptly retired
from view behind his newspaper,
•The average woman is nothing if
not sympathetic. She weeps pro
fnsely over her own troubles, but as a
rule she will weep just as freely over
yours —if you happen to mention
them at the right time. But take
the average man. Ls there sympa
thy in his soul? No. Is he callable
of weeping with you! Never. And
yet it s not because he s too manly to
weep, but he will sit down at almost
any tinr* and shed scalding team
over trouble of his own.”
The woman in the tan colored ul
stor remarkeil mildly that she had
never seen them do it, and the stout
man emerged from behind his news
paper to beam at her approvingly.
But her companion smiled a chilling
smile.
"Within five weeks I have seen
seven men ciy.” she remarked cold
ly. “None of them was intori
cated; all were representative men.

goes. One was a well known public
man. He dropped tears all over my

him over the loss of $20,000 Mother, which

the singing of a Hungarian slumber

because they had been jilted,

offer to lie a sister to him. For tho
remaining two there was good ex

son. and the young man who—er
didn’t like sisters, had tried to ap
pear interested, but it was for my
sake. They afterward helped that
particular unfortunate, but that, too,
was due to my interest.
“I can easily understand why a
man cries when a women refuses to
marry him,” said the meek little
woman beside the last speaker, “for
I have heard so much of that and—
ahem—hare seen it myself. They
e seem to cry when they’re refused,
you remember the night when
your old friend Phil”
But the woman in the fur jacket
hastily remarked that she couldn’t
remember it under any circum¬
stances, and the conversation flagged.

Tht Bum Memory.
A writer in The Atlantic Monthly
presents curious facts with regard to
the operation of the human mem¬
ory, He takes the ground that the
,
memory supplies the place of talent
in many cases, and cites an instance
in which a rare success in point of
style was proved to have been
achieved by a mosaic of sentences
carried in the mind from various
writers, and carefully dovetailed into
a piece of work which proved a tri¬
umph in its completeness. The capi
of most writers consists in in
formation, and to the faculty of
memory they are chiefly indebted
for this. Memory is almost a substi¬
tute for genius itself at times, and
may certainly afford its possessor
that which passes for originality.

Tip* aad Attendance.
A charge for attendance is made
in some restaurants and other places,
but no pleasant looks will follow the
departing guest if he should omit to
remember the person or persons who
attended him. One morning when
the rosy cheeked maid brought us
our bills at the little hotel where we
passed the night, my friend, observ¬
ing a charge for “attendance.” re¬
marked :
“Well, Lizzie, does that mean
you?” don’t,’ - the
“No, sir, it was an¬
swer, with a becoming blush and an
air of self consciousness that was de¬
licious.
Needless to say that Lizzie was a
shilling richer a moment later. The
“tip” is expected every time; but
the traveler should bear in mind
that it need not be a large one. A
penny or twopence will be gratefully
received, where the average Ameri¬
can at home would never think of
offering less than five or ten cents.—

How He B.guril.d Cat*rpillar.,
A naturalist, Bjieuding his vacation
at the house of on old Berkshire
county farmer, undertook, in the
kindness of his heart, to interest his
host in some of the wonders of
natural science.
He called his attention to the com¬
mon caterpillar, described its habits
of life, its methods of breathing
through its sides, and dwelt at some
length upon sundry other interesting
details of its animal economy. The
farmer listened.
“Well,” said the profe*«or at last,
pausing for breath, “don t you find
»t wonderful? Did you ever suppose
there was anytAmg so remarkable
about a caterpillar?
“Waal, no, said toe farmer, “I

A story is told ot Lord Mellioume
in his character of premier asking
tho young Queen Victoria whether
“there was any individual for whom
she felt such a preference that she
would wish to liuvo him associated
with her in the cares of sovereign¬
ity.” The queen, a little astonished,
asked whether the question was put
by Lord Melbourne in his character
of a minister of the crown, and he re¬
plied that under no other circum¬
stances would he have presumed to ad¬
dress such a question to her majesty.
“Then,” said the queen, “I must ad¬
mit that there is one individual for
whom I entertain a decided prefer¬
ence, and that individual is the Duke
of Wellington.” The length of Lord
Melbourne’s face may be imagined,
the duke being of course his great
political adversary.—San Francisco

What doeK it cost to go to law? It
costs sums widely varying in size.
Wo make the rich pay for the poor.
Many of our most celebrated criminal
suits are entirely for sweet charity’s
sake, because the client is unable to
pay a cent. We take them because
we feel that we can acquit them and
score a victory where others have
failed. Where our clients are rich
we charge them large sums and
make them pay all in a lump. The
lowest fee for a divorce suit is $200
where we charge anything at all.
The highest we have ever received
for conducting such a suit is $33,000;
the average is alxnit $800.

A C1«H Trick,
A clever trick was played a short
time ago on hoard a steam 1 mat ply¬
ing between Calais and Dover. The
sea wua rough. A young woman,
apparently ill with seasickness,
groaned until a gentleman, who
seemed to be a strangor, approached
and asked if she would take a
lozenge, which he had often tried on
people with marvelous resulte. The
young lady finally acoepted the offer.
The cure was instantaneous. Hardly
had she swajlowwl the lozenge
when she was sitting up all smiles
and ordering ham sandwiches and
bottled ale.
Home passengers, struck with tho
incident, ihqnired what was the won¬
derful remedy, and the gentleman,
who proclaimed himself the agent
for the sale uf tho lozenges, disposed
of a considerable nutnlier of boxes at
two dollars each. What was the sur¬
prise of the buyers when they saw
the lady and her preserver go off arm
in arm when the boat reached Dover.
The pills were common jujube paste.
