Kvelvn Mnlcolni lit Now* York 1'roa*. A few days ago a very stout woman stumbled into a Broadway ear arid sat down with a bump und a groan. Her face, except for its preponderrnce of flesh, was comely, and one could Bee that her blue eyes, if relieved of the pulflness surrounding them, would be really flne. “Dear, dear, my heart does beat so whenever I hurry!” the stout woman sputtered to her friend. “I’d rattier be dead than like this. Seven years ago when 1 married X only weighed 102." After marriage many women grow slothful nnd form a habit of nibbling fattenin'gfoods between meals. Loung ing, corsetless, in a loose wrnpper, bonbons, late suppers nnd late rising, besides generous patronage of street cars, will cushion with flesh the most slender woman, unless some physical idiosyncrasy rises as an obstinate bar rier. “Polish your nails with your Un gers,” says a manicure. “The friction of the flesh and the little oil wliloh ex udes from the pores gets up quiokly a healthy circulation beneath the nail, making it rosy, and Ungers Impart, be sides, a better actual polish than the chamois rubber." The craze for short hair has spent itself, thank heaven t A woman with Bhort hair now—they are few and fnr between—is supposed to be either a convalescent, a music hall singer, a new arrival from a reformatory, or an advocate for woman’s rights. One of the best skin tonics is pure alcohol. After washing bathe the face with it and dry quickly. It clears the skill of impurities and leaves it smooth and cool as a roso leaf. Would you lighten your hair? AVasli it in champagne. Would you darken it? Wash it in whisky. These are not dyes—dear me, no!—merely aids to nature.

Develops a Curiosity annul lie KullsAetl. ‘Papa,” suddenly piped up tho youngest, bracing Vis sturdy little legs for tho assault, "don’t it hurt the walls to huve all tho old skin scraped off ’em when you puts the paper on? I bunked the skin off ifay,- knee an it bluggied like fbrty, an hurted too. Why don’t the wfdT Muggy?” f i There was no reply. "Papa,” came the insistent inquiry, “don’t the pos’office men know any bettor than to put ‘U., S. Mail’ on deir wagons? Mamma spanked me norful hard when I suid ‘us’ mail box;’ then why don’t some one spank the pos’offlce men for suyin ‘Up Mail’ instead of ’Our Mail?’’’ Still a brief, unbroken silence. "Papa, is the holes in baker's bread good for little boys to live on? An where does the baker man get- ’em?" Papa said nothing, but dived into the foveign news. ’ "Papa,” came the inquiry in an awed whisper, "did God make yes terday an todny?" "Yes, dear." "Don’t you s’pose then, papa, that the reason be never comes down to call on mamma is ’cause he is always too busy makin tomorrows for folks to use?" Papa hastily turned to tho edito rial page and said nothing. "Papa,” came that still, small voice, with a feeling ring in it, "how does little boyB know when deir toes hurts ’em? They don’t fink wif deir feet, does they ?" Papa fled to the baseball column with an audible gasp. "Papa, where does God live?" "In heaven, son.” “Did old Mrs. Brown go to heaven when she died?" "Yes. dear." "Ain’t it norful lonesome up there wif only old Mrs. Brown and God?” Pajia prayed Bteadily through the brief lull. "Papa,” once more came tho question from tho puzzled little brain, "whore did Adam and Eve buy a cradle to put Cain in?” Pupa glared across the table at the nurro and hoarsely gasped, “For mercy take, Mary, take that kid to bed before I get congestion of tbe brain." "Papa," came a wild shout echoing down tiie hall ns the cavalcade moved by, “papa, why did God make all tho strawberries in the summer when ev’rything’s ripe, in stead of makin ’em in tho winter time when there ain’t nothing else good for little boys to cat?” After a brilliant flash of silence papa straightened up his wilted form nnd sighed, “Maria, I wish you would remind me in the morning to go to Clarke's and buy that little fiend a ‘Britannica Enclyclopredia’ and' a muzzle I”—Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette. Advertising Himself. A satirical illustration of human ity’s tendency to be "pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw” comes from some of tho late reminiscences of the poet Rossetti. One day he went with a friend for a stroll through the poorer quarters of Lon don, nnd was greatly attracted by a shop outside which stood a cage con taining a curious round ball of spikes. “Wliat is tho price of that?" asked ho. “Half a crown.” "Could you get me some more of them?" “Certainly.” "Well, let me have twenty tomor row evening.” The dealer, whose stock consisted of a few linnets, chaffinch or two and four or five larks, looked aghast, and Rossetti’s friend asked in sur prise : “What on earth do you want with all thoso hedgehogs?” "I’ll put them in my garden,” said the painter poet, "and when fellows come to see my pictures they’ll pass through there. ‘Look at this little round ball I’ one of them will say. ‘Why, it’s alive? And here’s an other, and here's a third! Why, the garden is full of them i’ And then they’ll be in such good spirits at the discovery that they’ll buy my pic tures.’’—Youth’s Companion.

A Little llunko Game Tlmt Acted Like • Uuomerung ail Two Drummers. Two Chicugo drummers who Bpent a short vacation in tho rural wilds of “Egypt" attempted a little bunko game, which was partly successful, but -.furnished u hit of experience that will not Boon be forgotten. Tho two Cliicagbnns, armed with double barreled fowling pieces, invaded “Egypt" for a few days of quiet shooting. They made their head quarters at a farmhouse and en gaged the farmer to act as a guide, At the end of two days, during which they tramped over a vast ex panse'of country, waded through swamps and became tired and sore end as hungry aB tho average mortal ever gets without having a shot at anything more gamelike than a chip munk, they became discouraged and ready to declare all bets off and aban don the field. Imprrfying an opportunity to con sult wjiilu tiie old farmer was tem porarily absent, tho two disgruntled Nlmroda concocted a deep laid plot to bunko the old farmer and have some fun at his expense. A double load of shot was poured into one of the guns nml the echome was ready to bo spfuug. As the trio drew near the farm house that afternoon ono of the Chi- :agoanB suddenly pointed to tho fanner’s flock of ducks and chickens in tho barnyard and remarked: "What'll you take to let me have a shot at those chickens?" “Wouldn't let you do it at any price,” replied tho fanner. “They're blooded cliiekous—best in these parts." “I'll give yon fifty cents for a shot.” The farmer shook his head. “A dollar.” Tho old man laughed. ‘ ‘No, siroe; I wouldn’t let you shoot into that flock for a ten dollar bill." The ambitious sportsman said no more, but laid down his gun and, leaving his two companions, walked a few rods to a water trough to wash his hands. The Becond villain in the play now entered upon the scene. “Say, old man,” quietly remarked the other Chicagoan, “here’s a chance to have some fun with Billy. While he isn’t looking take the ram' rod from liis gun and draw the load of shot,-Saving nothing but powder, then tell him he may have a Bhot for a dollar. Pocket the money and see him bang away with a blank charge." The granger fell into the trap In- Btantty, It was only the work of u moment to draw the load of Bhot from each barrel—one load from each—but the unsuspecting farmer of course still left a charge of shot helow those ho extracted. Villain No. 1 came slowly saunter ing back. "What did you say you’d givo for a shot at them fowls?” in quired the farmer with an innocent air. “A dollar." Well, go ahead. Give me a dol lar and try your luck.” The money was paid over, and the supposed victim of a practical joke raised his gun and fired. Instantly that barnyard was filled with feath ers and fluttering ducks, geese nnd chickens. A dozen fowls were kick ing and plunging about in their ex piring throes. The farmer was rooted to the spot for a moment. Then ho slowly walked into the house without Bay ing a word. The two plotters gatli ered up the fruits of their scheming, and dividing the slaughtered fowls between them, started to walk to the nearest railway station, where they intended to pass the night and enjoy a feast. They very injudicious ly stopped beforo the farmhouse long enough to have a hearty laugh over the old granger’s discomfiture. Sud denly the farmer threw open the door, and stepping out upon tho porch cried out, “If a dollar a shot is the ruling price for shootin 'round here, reckon I’ll take a shot myself.” Thereupon he threw a silver dollar after the retreating drummers and immediately followed it with a load of bird shot. Both the jokers were peppered, and hastily dropping their booty they ran down the road howl ing like hyenas. A doctor at the sta tion made good wages during the next three days picking bird shot out of their anatomies.—Chicago Mail. FAIR NOTICE.
