"It was splendid," she exclaiined, her
;heeks aglow and her eyes bright with est:itement.
"Seven courses?not counting
;ho oyster cock^pil to begin with?and I
lever made a misstroke with fork or knife,
ind th^re was no end of brand new lxnple* |
nentstoo. I came near making a terrible E
niscue, though, with the oyster cocktail j|
iTou see, the dining room was rather dork, j
jeing lighted only with "pink shaded oan? I
lies, and in the gloom the cocktail looked
just like a sherbet. I couldn't imagine, of J
jourse, what a sherbet was doing there at i
ihattime, but it was not mine to reason ?
why, and 60 I pluiJged boldly in, resolved j
;o do or die with the first weapon that
seemed at all fitted to meet the sherbet X
ffnergency, and I came dreadfully near to _
lying with mortification. For a traction
)f a second I hesitated between a long, j
ilim handled spoon- and a short, fat, gold' ^
lined one, and then, with what I .consider- I
3d marvelous forethought, I decided the
ong, slim handled one could better be I
spared for future contingencies and select:d
the short, fat one. And I was just totaling
on the brink of that oockt&Q with
t in my fingers when I looked up and b6leld
the hostess eating hers with an oysteer
'ork. My arm actually was palsied, I was
jo stunned, and I had great difficulty Id
making anything like my usual dexterous
lightning change.' I didn't fully reoovef"
!rom the shock until well into the soup.
"But the best part of the luncheon, aftsr
all, was thai there was another oormtay

ne of how I once forgot the exception to
the ra^, and did something atrociously i
vorse,
'rtft was some time ago, when it was the I
instom to pass great heaping baskets of
!ruit. It Was altogether a deoorattvs
sourse, and the guests were expected to ',
lake a grape or two or a fresh fig with
vhich the basket was ornamented and
eave the foundation of larger fruit undls>
rarbed. As I saw the basket making the
sircuit of the table I was so overcome with 1
'ear that an orange would be thrust upon .
ne and that I would not know thq latest
method of dissecting it, that when the
ratler, finally reached me and I saw a big j
rellow banana exposed I grabbed for it (
ravenously, as though I had not tasted
'ood in weeks. I happened to be almost "
she last one, and as I glanced up I saw In j
in instant what I had done. There" were
ill the other guests daintily nibbling at a f
Any grape or a fig and there was that \
ghastly, hideous, awful banana in front
if me. w '
"I was younger then, and I presume my
imagination was more Highly keyed up. j
it anv rate that banana held me in a hor-,
rible spell?fascinated ma Ioouldn't get 1
any mind away from it. And as I sat there,
fvith my eyes glued upon it, it teemed to '
shange into a horrible, monstrous, .grin- J
ling thing that leered at me and taunted
ne with my poor country bred manners. \
"Of course it was a trivial, insignificant
ihing, and I donbt whether any of the I
quests noticed it at all, but I had been an '
del pa ting and dreading that luncheon sc *
ong and my nerves were so overwrought

lateral thing had been removed I actually

HIS SECOND ASSIGNMENT.
Ik Leaf Out of t Newspaper Reporter's
XUI7 Experience.
'"My first assignment," said an old reporter,
"was to find out whether somebody
was Id town, or something of that
jort.' 1 know there was nothing to be
written abont It. I got the information
rod reported to the city editor. That was
ill I bad to do that day. For the rest of
the day I sat around the office and looked
on with an Infatuation that has never deceased.
The next day I got my second
kssigpment. In this there was something
to write abont.
"The city editor handed me a narrow
UttlO Strip or wnice ussub pnyeruubiruui a
sheet of ship pews and containing, in two
lines of writing, information that two la
borers had been washed overboard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, coming
up the bay in tow of the tug So-and10.
What I was to do was to get the facts
about the occurrence and write them.
"The olty editor said that if I woold
And the consignees of the barge or the
owner of the tug I would get on the trace
of the story. "SThe names of the consignees
were in the two lines of ship news, and
limply by looking in the directory I found
their office without the slightest trouble.
There l learned where the cargo was tied
op. It was at a wharf in Hoboken or
Weehawken, I don't remember which, and
I made for that. When I turned from the
rtreet down the wharf, there she was, tied
op alongside, her name on the wheelbouse.
Sho was about half unloaded, And men
were still an work carrying off the ore.
"J was not altogether without experience
In life, but I had never done anything
that gave me quite the satisfaction that it
did to find that ore barga in my first notual
experience as a reporter. The captain
was aboard and so were the surviving
members of the little party of laborers
who had starved up the bay in her, and so
the whole story was right there. I sat on
the stringpieoe of the whexf and talked
with the captain of/the"boat. ~Be-told the

Ufup. It Was not a great story. I knew
that It was like thousands of stories that
the newspapers are sending after all the
time, of the manifold dally occurrence of
life, bat I must pat It together In good
shape, get in all the facts and put the
story in the smallest space.
"In the morning I went out an{ got a
paper before breakfast. I wanted to read
my story of the loss of the men from the
ore barge. I looked the paper over/and,
my graolous, I couldn't find It all 1 1
thought they must have left it out altogether,
bat when I came to look the paper
over again I found it?a scant stlokful,
with a single line head. ,

found,that the facts were all there. They
had simply been brought closer together
by a method of condensation far more aoute

Importance of Regular Living.
A question has lately arisen as to the Inareaae
or the reverse in nervous diseases,

posed increase in snoh nervous diseases Ilea
In the Increased demand made by the conditions
of mpdern life upon the brain. It
is qnite true that the conditions of life are
very different nowadays from what they
were a few yean ago. We now live in a high
pressure age, and in one of - keen competition,
when greater effort is needed in every
branch of life to attain a suooessful position,
when the brain Is always working
and there Is constant tension. Suoh conditions,
It will be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to a diminution of nervous
diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the same time, it cannot be denied that
the oomforts of life" have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There oaa be no question that men of
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption of
bygienio habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount of frlotlon and waste.
It preserves vitality. Regularity economist
ea not only physical stamina, but time
as well. The man who knows no system
In the details of his life, who exhausts nature
at the instanoe of a passing whim,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who

the one who most sooner or later fall a vlotdm
to disease. Regularity and moderation
In all things should be the motto .of
life, and it should be remembered that
regnlarlty does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment of variety. A certain amount
of variety.prevents man from becoming a
mere machine, bat variety should not interfere
with those regular habits of life
whioh are necessary to the maintenance of
health.?New York Ledger.
A Fouled Author.
The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
When he brought out "Sappho," an Amerloan
publishing house that issues religious
books, not knowing its character, offered
m. Daudet a large sum for advanoe sheets
of the work. He acoepted the offer, and
the advanoe sheets were s?nt. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they oould not .issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, " 'Sappho' will not
do.' This dlspatoh puzzled Daudet. He
nonsuited with numbers of friends, aud
this was the conclusion at Vhloh they
sventually arrived: "Sappho" in French
la spelled with one "p"?"Sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English it is spelled
with two. An 'unusually aoute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, Wbioh much
relieved the novelist, and he cabled back
to the publishers, "Spell itwlth two p's."
[t is needless to. state that the publishers
were more astonished at Daudet's reply
khan he had been at their cable dispatch.
Japanese Journalism.
"Japanese journalism," says a missiontry's
wife, "is a singular profession in
many of its features. There is pr^otioally
oo such thing as freedom of the press in
fcpan. Whenever a newspaper publishes
lomethlng unfriendly to the government
It la suppressed and the editor is sent to
prison. The real editor is never Imprisoned,
though. Every newspaper has what
&e Japanese call a 'dummy editor,'and it
Is his sole duty to go to jail every time the
paper is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor obanges the
Dame of the.paper and keeps on publishing
It Dummy editors spend most of their
time In prison." , ,
