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 MOZLEY’S LEMON ELIXIR. A PLEASANT LEMON DRINK. Dr. H.

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.” — New York Sun. 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.
