• Are You Too Thin ?
Are you painfully thin? Do you ever
stand before your mirror and heave
sigh of regret at your lack of round
ness of face and form which is so ap
parent?
Here is the remedy, as described by
a lady expert in such matters :
Briefly, you go to bed and allow
yourself to be fed up. In twenty-four
hours you have eight glasses of milk
with cream and three huge meals.
That the fattening effect of Ibis
food may not be allowed to be exhaust
ed, you are admitted to make no ex*
ertion. Everything abort of the process
of mastication is done for you. You
don’t even wash yourself. Beside*
being washed you massaged and rub*
bed with oil.
This sort of thing is done continual*
ly for three months, and the man or
woman who has gone through the op
eration that he or she may make a
more presentable figure gets up with a
lighter heart and a body perhaps two
stone heavier.
The treatment seems excellent—that
is, io the case of people wbo have noth
ing whatever in the world to do—Ex

HOW A MAN MADE $7,000.
she Chap Who Loe* It Told Hit
Kotlnem I* • Case.
“Don’t discuss your private business
affairs in a public place,” said an old
Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap
proached him in a oafe near the city
hall. Than the Brooklyn man, pointing
out a real estate dealer, said:
“Talking about a business deal in
this very case cost that man (7,000, and
the money went into my pocket too.
Yon see, he represented a syndicate that
wanted to build on some property in
which I was Interested as the owner of
one bonne and city lot. The agent did
not know me from a Canarsie clammer.
Well, he came in here with a friend —
one of the syndicate—for luncheon on
an afternoon in last July. They took
seats at this table. I sat at the next
one.
“I began to ‘take notice,’ as grand
mas say, whan I heard the strangers at
the next table discuss quite loudly a
deal in relation to the property adjoin- 1
ing mine. The agent had ordered a fine
layout -for luncheon and was evidently
well pleased with his deal. He said to
his friend:
“ ‘ Well, I pulled off the trick for
that property at 219 Cheap street today.
The owner thought I was doing him a '
favor. I started in at (16,000 and final-1
ly closed with him for (18,000. He bit I
in a hurry. Why, the property is worth I
(25,000 if it’s worth a dollar to us. j
Now I must look for the chap that owns I
221. He’ll be glad to get (18,000 for
his house. It’s lucky for us they’re not
on to the fact that we want to buy that
entire block.’
“I didn’t need to do any eavesdrop
ping, you see. That little speech of the
agent cost him exactly (7,000. You can
readily guess that I, as the owner of 221
Cheap street, was not especially anxious
to sell after that. I kept Mr. Real Es
tate Man on the jump for nearly five
months, and when I let up on him I
got my price, exactly (25,000 —a neat
little profit of (7,000 above what I
would have gladly accepted. So you see
the point of my remark to you, ‘Don’t
discuss private business affairs in a pub
lic place. ’ Now we’ll go to my office,
and I’ll listen to your proposition.” —

HIDDEN GOLD IN PARIS.
Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hanting
For Buried Treasure.
Some Parisians are actually kept from
wandering by conviction that there is
hidden treasure behind tho walls or be
neath the flooring or in the chimney
nook or under the roof, says Chambers’
Journal.
You are told that during the number-'
less sieges to which Paris has been sub
jected and the internal revolutions it
has undergone there exists not a cellar
or a garret but has become the recepta
cle of some part of the immense riches
accumulated in religious houses and old
families. There is, perhaps, nothing ir
rational in the supposition that in the
good old times when convents were
made the depositories not only of the
secrets of the aristocracy, but of the
family jewels likewise, instances must
have occurred wherein these deposits
were buried and remain undiscovered,
together with the treasures of the con
fraternity. But human.folly has of late
years exalted this rational possibility
into dazzling certainty. Every means is
now resorted to and more gold and pre
cious time expended than the most val
uable treasure could repay in order to
seize the secret which still resists dis
covery. “ While you of the matter of
fact, plodding Anglo-Saxon raoe are
toiling and broiling in Australia and
California, searching for gold, we gold
seekers of Paris find it here beneath our
feet in the old quarters of the city round
Notre Dame and the Hotel de. Ville,
where gold is teeming in greater plenty
than amid the rock bowlders of Califor
nia or beneath the soil of Ballarat,”
■aid Ducasse, the great treasure seeker.
The Art of Lighting a Pipe.
Now, comrades, not to waste time
talking of style of pipe or brands of to
bacco—tastes differ in those things—try
this: Keep pipe and stem as clean as
possible, and the time to clean them is
immediately after a smoke. Fill the
bowl with your favorite brand and press
down firmly, but don’t strive to see how
■olid you can pack it If you make it as
■olid as wood, it will burn like wood
and make a coal fire about as hot and
ungrateful. Don’t light the entire sur
face. Don't “pull” as though you had no
more matches and feared it would “go
out ” Light a small spot directly in the
center. Smoke slowly until it works its
way gradually downward. If it under
takes to spread, press it down again
with thumb or finger. A half minute’s
care in starting is all that is required.
Now smoke slowly. The little fire con
tinues downward, delicately roasting
the tobacco on the sides, and presently,
when yon cave this off, there will come
a revelation in soft, mellow smoke, so
cool, so delicious, so soothing, that you
will never regret having read this.—
Sports Afield.
VoEU
In Germany “von” implies nobility,
and all persons who belong to the no
bility prefix “von” to their names with
out any exception. Persons who do not
belong to the nobility cannot have the
right to put “von” before their names.
A man who is knighted for some reason,
however, has the same right to put
“von” before his family name as a per
son of ancient nobility. For instance,
when Alexander Humboldt was knight
ed he became Alexander von Humboldt
All his descendants, male and female,
take the prefix.—Philadelphia Press.
Switzerland enjoys the unenviable
distinction of having a larger percentage
of lunatics than any other country. In
the canton of Zurich there are 3,261 in
a population of 889,000.
In 1564 a pair of shoes taade in Eng
land cost ten pence.

LIGHT TOUCHES.
The construction of some Pianos and
Organs is such as to require considerable
force to produce sound. In those we are
showing the mechanical parts are so nicely
adjusted that they respond to the most
delicate touch. But they can stand the
heavier hand of a player made enthusiastic
by the richness of tone, the volume, the
purity of their notes. And the exteriors
are fitting houses for such music. See
