tumorous Jlrpartmrnt. Hblpiwo His Ooicradb.?Alfred H. Love of Philadelphia, president of the Universal Peace Union, was talking on the topic, peculiarly congenial to him of kindness. Said he: "I once knew a remarkably kind boy. He was a great angler. There was a trout stream In his neighborhood that ran through a rich man's estate. Permits to fish the stream could now and then be obtained, and the boy was lucky enough to have a permit. "One day he was fishing with another boy when a gamekeeper suddenly darted forth frc-m a thicket. The lad with the permit uttered a cry of fright, dropped his rod, and ran off at top speed. The gamekeeper pur sued. "For about half-mile the gamekeeper was led a swift and difficult chase. Then, worn out, the boy halted. The man seised him by the arm and said between pants: " 'Have you a permit to fish on this estate?* "Yes, to be sure,* said the boy quietly. " 'You have? Then show it to me.' "The boy drew the permit from his pocket. The man examined it and frowned in perplexity and anger. " 'Why did you run when you had this permit?' he asked. " 'To let the other boy get away,' was the reply. 'He didn't have none!"'?Harper's Weekly. Might be a Mini> Reader.?Plainly she was bewildered by the noise and traffic as she left the elevated station at Madison and Wabash avenue. "Please tell me how to get to Washington street," she asked the policeman. "Walk one block north, ma'am." "Thank you very much, but which direction do I go after I reach Washington street" The policeman looked down at her and noticed she was very much in earnest and also bewildered. "It depends largely upon where you desire to go." he said, as he smiled at her. "Oh, I see. I forgot to tell you where I wanted to go," and she became more confused than ever. But she did not tell him. Instead, she ran all the way to Washington street and asked the policeman stationed at that corner which direction she would take to arrive at a certain bank. Telling the experience afterward, she said: "Of course, I forgot to tell the first policeman wnere i wanted to go, but he might have known I wanted to go to the bank, for I had my book with me." "In your hand?" "Certainly not. It was In my handbag. But he might have known. My husband told me the policemen knew everything." Hfr Diaonosis.?Uncle Harry was a bachelor and not fond of babies. Even winsome two-year-old Helen failed to win his heart. Every one made too much fuss over the youngster, Uncle Harry declared, says the Indianapolis News. One day Helen's mother was called downstairs, and with fear and trembling asked Uncle Harry, who was stretched out on a sofa. If he would keep his eyes on Helen. Uncle Harry grunted "yes." but never stirred from his position?in truth kept his eyes tight shut By and by wee Helen tiptoed over to the sofa, and leaning over Uncle Harry, softly inquired: "Feep-y?" "No," growled Uncle Harry. "Tired?" ventured Helen. "No," said her uncle. "Sick," further inquired Helen, with real sympathy In her voice. "No," still insisted Uncle Harry. "Dus' feel bum?" inquired the baby. Uncle Harry sprang to his feet, hugged the little comforter, and kissing her, declared she had correctly described his feelings when she said, "Just feel bum." From this time onward Uncle Harry was Helen's slave and with the rest of the household voted her a great success. ? Purely Voluntary.?"I see a good deal about voluntary confessions these days." said Representative Cooper of Texas, In the Democratic cloak room, "and every time I read about one It reminds me of a story Judge MacFarland used to tell down in my country. "Judge MacFarland had a large practice and was a rattling good lawyer. He had a client named Henderson who was at daggers' point with his own father about some land which he had inherited from his mother. The client came to the Judge one day and told him that his father had tried to poison him. " 'What evidence have you of that?' asked the Judge. " 'My negro, old Sam, told me so,' was the reply. " 'Was his story a voluntary one?' " 'Oh, yes, entirely so. I took Sam out behind the barn and had him hit seventy lashes, and he voluntarily belched up the truth.'" She Had a Fellow.?The story is told of a shock received by a Duluth pastor after the services the other night in the Philadelphia Telegraph. He makes it a point to welcome any strangers cordially, and that evening, after the completion of the service, he hurried down the aisle to station himself at the door. A Swedish girl was one of the strangers In the congregation. She Is employed as a domestic in one of the fashionable East End homes, and the minister, noting that she was a stranger, stretched out his hand. He welcomed her to the church and expressed the hope that she would be a regular attendant. Finally he said that if she would be at home some evening during the week, he would call. "T'ank y,ou," she murmured, bashfnllv "hut av have a fella." Three of the members of the congregation heard the conversation. Women's Cri'ei.ty.?Mrs. Reginald DeKoven at a dinner in Washington adverted to cruelty. "Women can be very cruel." she said. "Some of them can be very cunning, too. Some of them can wound you so dexterously that before you know you have been wounded their escape is made. "Once I saw a young woman wound a slightly older one in that way. She approached the older one at a ball. She greeted her with a radiant smile. She Inflicted her wound, and while her victim still thought the wound "a compliment she walked away. This Is what, in a very loud, clear voice, she said: " 'Oh. Helen, dear, that perfect gown! I think it looks lovelier every year.' "?Louisville Courier-Journal. IHisfcllanrous grading.

The remains were Interred In OaJtland cemetery Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. M. Steadman of the Bul'ord Street Methodist church. Wednesday afternoon, near Beaverdam church, about three miles from Gaffney, a fast freight train on the Southern ran Into a hand car with three men on it, one white and two colored. The car was entirely demolished, and all the men injured, the two colored men severely. It seems that the freight train had received orders to meet another train at this place, and the section man, who had a force at work near Thickety trestle, had started to Gaffney'on his car to get out of the way of both trains. Later, however, the conductor of the freight received orders to proceed to Cowpens, and just us the train rounded a sharp curve near Beaverdam church It encountered the hand car, and was too close upon it for the engineer to stop. The men on the car sighted, or heard the freight before it reached them, and it is said that they were struck while endeavoring to get the car off the track. The injured men were brought to this city and their wounds were dressed by Dr. S. B. Crawley, the railroad company's surgeon at this place. They were then put on board No. 12 and carried on to their homes. The name of the white section man was B. F. Mitchell, and the negroes were Dave and Charlie McCordel.

What can we do about them? How can we get rid of them? If we are duly vigorous they will probably wear off; If not, then, if we do nothing, if we let them run on, they may lead to something- worse? chronic bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia. We "catch cold" because there Is something wrong with our system. Climatic conditions are largely responsible, but there are other factors. Microbes of some sort are at the bottom of the trouble. We are always exposed to these more or less, but if the system is in proper condition It resists their attacks. As the autumn advances street watering ceases, the dust blows in clouds, and there is less sunlight to kill the microbes that the dust carries. The air is colder and more humid, our pores are congested, the function of the skin In excreting waste matter from the system is diminished. Consequently more work is thrown upon other organs: they are likely to prove unequal to it More toxic matter, therefore, is carried through the system by the blood, and with It disease Is generated In the most susceptible parts. We also get less fresh air, there Is less ventilation in sleeping: rooms and In offices than In summer. But oxygen is needed to keep the blood in the right state. Meanwhile, in the cold weather dust we are exposed to the assaults of millions of additional microbes which we are not In good condition to resist. At first we feel a sort of soreness In the nasal cavity. Perhaps If we at once take proper measures we may be all right. If not the inflammation will extend to the throat and the bronchial tubes. A cough follows, and this may persist indefinitely. The chill humidity of the season is bad for us; it checks the respiration of the skin and aggravates the disorder. Nothing could he worse than to obey the proverbial injunction: "Feed a cold and starve a fever." A cold means congestions, if we stuff ourselves. if we drink whisky, or other alcoholic beverages, we simply add fuel to the flame. We need to kill the germs, to clear out the waste, to tone up the system, Germicidal gargles, etc., may help, but it is important to aid the system to fight the microbes. Hence the first thing should be a good cathartic and purgative; this might to advantage be taken two days in succession. At the same time some tonic should be employed, something that would improve the physical condition. Care should be taken about the food; it should be wholesome, not excessive nor too nitrogenous. Since the excess of toxic products in the blood that causes rheumatism also causes the congestion when we ger a "cold," the same things that help the former are also good for the latter, particularly the drinking of an abundance of water, and the remedies that tend to eliminate uric acid. The main things are to live temperately, breathe as much pure air as possible, sleep well, and take all the exercise practicable while guarding against exhausting fatigue.?Boston Herald. Most Amiable Cow.?When an animal is killed on the railway, it is (he duty of the nearest station master to immediately make a report of the accident to headquarters, so that the company may be prepared with a statement of the facts, in case of action. This report is made on specially prepared forms, furnished by the company. On one occasion, a newly installed station master found himself confronted with thie necessity of making out his report. Although it was a new experience, ho described the cow and the circumstances accurately, and all went well down to the last line, when he discovered that he had neglected to question the owner of the deceased cow concerning one important point. It seemed safe, however, for him to rely upon his awn judgment, and he did it. The line was headed: "Disposition of carcaes." Underneath he wrote, with all earnestness: "Kind ami gentle?.Exchange. (Timely fashion (Tips. FOR THE LADIES. Helpful Hints on What to Wear and How to Wear It ? In this day, when a blouse must match a skirt with which it is to be worn, colored blouses of all kinds have been discarded. If they appear at all it is in the guise of a low-necked lining of pale blue, pink, yellow or lavender silk. Entire blouses of Irish crochet and other heavy cotton and linen laces made severely plain will be worn with linen skirts and boleros for morning as well as for afternoon. ? That so essentially smart little blouse coat has come back to us with added charms for the warm days of spring and early summer. Triple revers are the accompaniments of some of the newest Louis coats, with cuffs and collars In the same style. In each case they are superposed, the upper ones being: the smallest, while they are Identical In shape. As an example, a costume of mouse-gray faced cloth was treated with pointed revere of Its own material, over which were revers of light copper colored velvet, which were quite an Inch narrower. These In turn were partially covered with smaller examples irt cream embroidered silk. ? The trlcorne is, In the hands of the present day milliner, a thing of beauty, even if It is not going to be a Joy forever (the Fates forefend that we ever be doomed to wear the same shape In headgear eternally!) There are countless developments upon this popular model, and so graceful and charming is It In every phase of Its variety that there 1b no possible chance of our wearying of It ere Its race be duly run. The round, bowlshaped crown is the latest development In these, and the brim is wired so that It may be bent and pinched and twisted to the angle most becoming to Its wearer, and that without In any way losing the lines that are characteristic of this shape. ? The vogue of color combinations and color contrasts that is growing steadily In favor In all departments of dress has Its due expression in the spring millinery. So far it Is chiefly to be seen In a use of two different color braids, of which one shall be white or ecru, and the other some complementary tone. Thus a smart trlcorne has the round crown and the Inner side of the upturned brim all In a Panama straw of the natural unbleached tint; while the outer side of the brim is faced with a loosely woven rice straw of a medium shade of brown. A piquant touch Is afforded In the ruchlngs of black chlfTon which encircle the crown and are knotted Into a huge chou that overlaps the brim and plies Itself high on the crown, this being centered with a large disk of apple-green satin having a flat stress and gold button sewn fast to the middle. ? One of the latest developments of that fickle Dame, Fashion Is the fad for a plain cloth coat with a plaid skirt. The touch of connection between the two Is often afforded In the waistcoat, which matches the skirt rather than the coat as to color and material. There are some charming 8lcllliennes?one importing house calls them woolen loulsines?in the checks and broken plaids which combine beautifully with the dull finishes in cloth. Browns, dark and light greens, some exquisite blues of the violet and sapphire tones, and the tan shades are all In good standing for these. The clever dresser will hail these with Joy, for with the coat and shirt fashioned after the latest model, there Is simply no end to the smart effects she can manage In the matter of vests and blouses. Worn with a simple shirt waist and a wash waistcoat they are absolutely comme 11 faut for morning wear. ? The milliners are borrowing from everv nosclble style and period to make tiny hats becoming'. A simple but effective one consists of a crown of yellow roses surrounded by bands of black velvet, with a bunch of silk loops on each side rather flat against the hair. A more elaborate bonnet is of gold lace over white silk trimmed with a small but thick ostrich plume tinting from white to bright yellow. These small bonnets demand elaborate hair dressing. There Is a sudden fashion for a low coiffure. Fashionable women still continue to wear the vertical side comb and the hair fluffed over the forehead. There are many small hats worn aside from theater hats, and the toque turned up smartly on the sides is a model that is popular. The Louis XVI style continues to predominate, though the polo toque seems coming more and more Into favor. A charming model of the latter kind Is In cinnamon straw and velvet of the same color, trimmed with uncurled ostrich feathers. ? Plain mohairs will be greatly worn this spring for tailor-made suits, separate skirts and for general wear. Panama voiles will have next choice. Broadcloths in lighter weight will continue to be worn, and Henriettas are increasing In popularity, as are the eollennes. In wash materials, the broderie Anglalse waist will be universally accepted, and with these the linen collar will be worn and the leg-o'mutton sleeve obtain favor. There Is a new and pretty tweed called "gamefeather," which looks extremely well made up as a Norfolk suit. This can be procured In waterproof, made by a new method recently discovered and said to be founded on much the same principle as the plumage of birds, which successfully resists all wet. For rough wear there is nothing like a erood tweed, and a Norfolk coat par ticularly commends itself for all forms of violent exercise, the waist belt keeping the coat In place and the chest and | shoulder plaits permitting of a certain amount of expansion, so that the arms can be used without any feeling of restraint. ? Every day nearing spring sees more of the sort of dresses we women term "little," irrespective of size or style?those light weight woolen gowns of voile, etamlnes, eollennes and the like. For these stuffs have proved themselves so satisfactory that they're strong again for spring, and they've gotten themselves up In new litte ways that are charming. Odd checks, small dots, checks and dots together and small Invisible plaids have come?the very prettiest sort of things for the walking suits and shirt waist suits into which they are being made. Most of them have skirts of the new length?Just touching all round. And that length is the hardest of all to wear, for It seems too short to hold up, is actually harder to hold up than a trained skirt, yet aggravatlngly "cuts" out around the edge unless you do continually lift it. Dame Fashion has promised us a change in skirts, but nothing radical seems to be forth coming, Just more and more astonishing ways of getting fullness in about the feet. Short coats are more favor- i ed than long In these light materials for the suits to wear with blousea. But everything is made of them; they're even threatening to share honors with silk, which has had every* thing its own way, for the shirt waist suits that everybody wears. Blue and brown?especially blue?are "staple" and will be worn a great deal, but a dozen shades of violet are promised for the earliest spring days. Violet has been hinted at pretty strongly all winter. Double skirts will be the feature of the new season's models. The sleeves will be short and very full at the shoulder. Danoterocs to Kiss a Dog.?Can a woman kiss a dog once a day for SO days? As the result of a bet on this suDjeci at Mountain utKe one wumcui Is seriously ill, five others are under a physician's care, three dogs are dead and other dogs are exhibiting strangesymptoms. It all came about from a wager made by John Angelhardt, a wealthy church member, to six women prominent In aid society work in the church. At a meeting of the aid society Angelhardt was much amused at the custom of one of the members of frequently kissing a favorite poodle on the mouth. His merriment provoked the women, and ail declared they were In the habit of kissing their dogs and thought it a nice custom. Angelhardt then made the wager that the six could not kiss their, dogs once a day for thirty days, the act to be performed Immediately after breakfast. The women took the bet. If they succeeded, Angelhardt was to pay them a second time for everything sold at the coming annual church fair. If they failed, they were to make for him a duplicate of everything sold at the fair. After the kissing had gone on for ten days two of the women became violently 111 and the others also suffered. One held out until the 29th day. Angelhardt, it Is announced, will not hold the women to the bet, but Instead has made a liberal donation to the church. ?St. Paul, Minnesota, Dispatch.
