Vanitt Madk Ridicuujus.?In the early days of Augusta, Me., when the people rode about the country on horseback, a certain aristocratic judge, riding Into town one day on his smart horse, was overtaken by a neighbor, a poorly dressed Irishman, riding a rather rough looking animal. On the outskirts of the city the two jogged along side by side, discussing the topics of the day; but as they neared the town the proud judge, thinking it beneath his dignity to be seen in company with Patrick, requested the Irishman to fail back a little. The quick-witted son of Erin, grasp, ing the situation, fell back a few paces and awaited his opportunity for revenge. As they were entering the principal street the Irishman called out from behind: "Jedge , am I far enough behind yer Honor?" The discomfited judge, sitting very erect, paid no heed to the Irishman. * 1,",?

Man In Town.?"I've heard a lot of talk about the meanest man In town," said an elder of a prominent West Philadelphia church, according to the Philadelphia Record, yesterday, "but last Sunday was reserved for me. to meet him. It was rather funny, too", he continued, "for I think It was really a mistake, rather than studied parsimony of the Rockefeller type. It was while I was just beginning to take up the collection that a man hurried in the door, and. dropping into a near pew, began to mop his forehead. He put a nickel on the plate when I passed it to him, and continued his efforts to cool off. I had gotten to the rear of the church and began to count the collection, when I heard an audible gasp and the man hurried back to where I was standing. Before I realized what he intended to do, he took a nickel from the plate and and started for the door. I followed him outside, and, checking him, said: 'What's the trouble, brother? Is anything wrong?' 'Not much,' he called back, as he went down the path on a run; 'but I hadn't finished shaving when my wife started for church, and in my hurry to catch up with her I got Into the wrong church.'" Not Vkkt Easy.?The late Patrick A Collins, mayor of Boston, studied law at Harvard. A Harvard man said of him: "Collins liked to see a wife treated liberally and reasonably. On the subject of household expenses, I heard him tell a committee of women once about a certain home missionary movement. In this movement every participant was to contribute a dollar that she had earned herself by hard work. The night of the collection of the dollars came, and various and droll were the stories of earning the money. One woman had shampooed hair, another had baked doughnuts, another had secured newspaper subscriptions,, and so on. The chairman turned to a handsome woman in the front row. " 'Now, madame. it is your turn,' he *' * - > said. 'How did you earn your uuuai ; " 'I got it from my husband,' she answered. "'Oh!' said he. 'From your husband? There was no hard work about that?* 'The woman smiled faintly. " 'You don't know my husband,' she said." Fallow Oountrvmbn.?An English actor tells a story of an Irishman named Flanagan, who had been out of work for some time, and at length applied to a circus proprietor for a position. There was no regular place open, but the manager looked Flanagan over and said: "Our largest Hon died last week, but we kept his skin, and If you like to get into it, and be shown as a lion, you can have the Job." Flanagan agreed. At the first show the proprietor stepped Into the cage and said: "Ladies and Gentlemen: To prove the docility of this roaring lion, I shall order* him Into the cage with a ferocious tiger." Flanagan hung back, but the circus proprietor prodded him with a sword and threatened to run him through, and "lion" was driven Into the same cage wl'.h the tiger. There he backed Into a corner and cried, 'Spare me: Then the ferocious tiger Jumped to his feet and answered, "Ye needn't be afraid of me. I'm an Irishman meself!"?Western Recorder. A Sad Reminder.?A story Is told by the writer of "Some Stories of the Concert Platform" concerning Mme< Pattl, the famous English contralto. The singer was delighting; a large audience in the town hall at Birmingham when a workingman in the rear of the building was observed to be in tears. There was nothing in the words to account for this display of feeling, and had this been otherwise the famed prima donna yt'aa singing i.i the Italian tongue. But the grief of the man became more pronounced ere Mme, Patti had conclude^. At lengrth amid a thunder of applause, the singer retted and the stranger was asked the reason of his grief. "She reminds me so 'o my darter" said the tegLrfvd one. "She was in the singin'- l^ne." "But surely your daughter could not s^ng like that?" queried the man in the n,ext seat. "No," answered the n\ourner with anpther sob, "but you could never tell \yha,t sh? was sin gin' about." ? ? ?

Fear vice most when she wears the veil. You may know a man by the friends he drops. Sunny souls are not troubled with doubt-damps. There's a tack somewhere for every pneumatic saint. No creed that is worth publishing can be put into type Without the sense of stewardship culture becomes a curse. No man is going to buy your piety if if your peanuts are ancient. The slumber of one saint is no excuse for the sloth of another. The best way to bear your cross is to share another's cares. The only things that are established are those that never stand still. When a man has religion in his heart he will not need it on his hatband. The lightweight man always thinks that his buoyancy is due to his wings. The only version of the Bible authorized by heaven is the one on two feet. The devil makes a lot of people believe that his winking is their thinking. Most men have less trouble in forgetting their follies than in foregoing them. Don't pray "Thy kingdom come," and then block the track with your opinions. No slave is more securely bound than he who thinks he is free to serve himself alone. It's better to have a little sense of the practical in religion than the finest appreciation of its poetic aspects alone. IRotlcs and Stifles. FIELD OF FEMININE FASHION Pithy Points on Vhat to Wear and How to Wear it. NEWEST AND BEST NODES AND STYLES Interesting Budget of Up-to-Date Ideas Gleaned From Approved Authentic Sources For the Information and Instruction of Readers of The Enquirer. ? The return of the empire Influence In dress means that gold or silver In almost any form will be good. ? Small yokes are a distinguished feature of many of the lately launched shirt waists and noticeably increase the dressy appearance. ? The handsomest petticoats are made of handkerchief linen trimmed with ruffles of hand embroidery and bands of Valenciennes lace. ? In suits the tendency is for plain cloths finished with a cloth of another color, and gay trimming. On dressy suits French buttons, with the tone of the cloth in their center, are beautiful and in the best of favor. ? There is a growing tendency toward the use of satin, instead of silk, for lining. Satin is once more In evidt nee as a trimming. Skirts have bias bands of satin running round Just above the knee and whole satin jackets are gaining in favor. ? In every style of plumage hat there are wonderful things, the soft browns, dull and rich at the same time, Incredible as it seems; and the deep, exquisite reds? it is if a bird of paradise had uddenly distributed his feathers in a series of glowing little heaps, each of a single shade. ? When little scraggly ends of hair hang down over your collar all you need is a good brush, some back combs and a little perseverance to make them stay up with the rest. When arranging your coiffure brush these ends up briskly and then place two back combs where they are needed. A few invisible hairpins will also help. ? In picking out a ready made ha,t care should be taken to get one In which bandeau trimming is set so as not to interfere with the straight line to the front of the brim, which is more becoming to the usually straight browed American than the extremely tip tilted styles, which are going out with the decline of the little hats. ? The tendency of evening dresses is toward the lighter, almost Invisible fabrics, such as chiffon, meteor and chiffon cloth made up first over chiffon as a lining, with the colored silk under that. Satin-striped chiffon Is a novelty, and is exquisite for ball dresses and dinner gowns for young girls. Spangled robes have never been In better favor than they will be this coming winter. ? Circular skirts are here, and they are here to stay, but more for house dresses than for street suits, wnen ine circular skirt Is used for a walking suit, it is laid In panels, so as to keep it from sagging. The skirts show a partiality for a plain panel down the front and for a graduated box plait as a front finish. Preferred trimmings seem to be very small tucks, plaits, choice embroidery and self-colored buttons. ? One of last winter's fancies which promises to gain this season even greater prominence Is a revival of "tatting." This old style fancy work Is now wrought In motifs of considerable pretensions and Is used for the decoration of separate waists, house dresses and bodices. Smocking has taken the place of fine tucks as a supplementary decoration to the lace and embroidery in many of the new gowns. Rows of puffing between which there are insertions is also a popular mode of trimming. ? Collars on the waists of this season's dresses are considerably higher than they have been for some years. Many of the waists are collarless, closing In round or square shape over a collar and chemisette of lace or of lingerie. Chemisettes of real lace? Duchess and point, and of the two combined?are obtainable, and like the collar and cuff sets will make charming holiday gifts. Collars and undersleeves of point and of Duchess lace will be worn on velvet gowns, and deep capes and revers of Irish and of Bruges lace with sleeve frills to match are worn with velvet coats. ? It is the sleeves that are the great point of departure in the new styles. Gone are those unwieldy and awkward wrist puffs that were always dipping into the butter or the gravy at the dining table, and sweeping up the dust off every other table with which they came in contact. They certainly were more provocative of ill humor and necessitated more trips to the clean era l Ilcl 11 (111 > uiun icaiuir ui laomuu that we have suffered under for a long time past. Added to which they had a trick of broadening the outline of the figure, an effect which was not by any means to their credit or ours. ? White and the shades bordering on white are to be worn this year in cloth, and for a nice tailor made a lovely choice is a biscuit colored serge, which is one of the best of these light shades, and neutral enough not to show soil, made with a short skirt and coat of idealized bolero type in front, with a short basque at the back and a belt of leather to match, embroidered in silks of various pale hues, such as mauve, pink, and green. A silk shirt of the same light color should complete this, made with a high band collar of embroidery, with front ends of the clerical tie order, the whole to be completed with a small toque of feathers in soft light browns running to creams. ? The tailor-made girl is well taken care of in the matter of raincoats, many of the new models being distinctly of the plain and severe order which her taste dictates. For these the coverts, alpaca thibits, Irish and Scotch tweeds and the heavier sicllliennes are selected, and machine stitching, with perhaps a few rows of a handsome braid is all that Is permitted in the way of trimming and trimming effects. The vest or waistcoat is frequently made a dressy feature in these, and the fad for leather?which is quite en regie with the severity of the plain tailor-n^ide styles?is delightfully indulged In these. Contrary to the prevailing craze for shiny leathers in other uses?shoes, belts, sailor hats and handbags?the leathers that are used for the novel raincoats and auto wraps are all of the soft, dull suede finish. The ooze calf, which is so soft and flexible to handle, and yet has quite sufficient body to withstand a great deal of wear, is a very marked favorite, and it comes in all of the fashionable shades and tints. The raspberry reds are especially smart and fashionable, and some soft greens harmonize exquisitely with the wood browns and the covert mixtures which are so popular. 1 WAY8 OF 8HAMMINQ DI8EA8E. Tricks Played to Avoid Work or Win * Sympathy. The art of shamming disease has reached a high level of perfection. This Is mainly to be attributed to the fact that the rewards of proficiency are great. Fresh In the minds of all is the recent case of a professional beggar in the city of London, whose voluntarily paretic limbs stirred up the lively compassion of the passers by, even of the poor, so that charitable gifts flowed into his ready palm. This case has excited some little attentlon, says the Lancet, chiefly because the police have prosecuted him successfully, but he is only one of very many. It Is, however, in connection with the naval and military services that the art of mallngery finds its chief exponents. In the days when it was necessary for a soldier to bite off the end of the cartridge in loading his musket it waa no uncommon event for a man to have one or more teeth extracted or filed down so as to obtain exemption. There is an old tale, In all probability true, that Illustrates well the trouble which such a man will take to escape from military service. A soldier was seized u-ith naralvsis of the right arm, the loss of power came on suddenly and without obvious cause. Malingering was suspected, but all the efforts of the surgeon of the regiment were, unavailing, no proof could be obtained that the paralysis was feigned. The man was examined by two medical boards and ultimately he was given his discharge. As he went oft from the barracks on the top of the coach (It was In the days before railways) he waved a hearty goodby to his comrades with his paralyzed arm. Probably the best example of the perseverance which men will display In the attempt to leave a service which they detest is to be found In a | case under the care of Cline. The patient was a sailor In the British navy, and It is worthy of note that he was a "pressed" man. He fell on his head and a slight depression of the skull was produced. He immediately became unconscious and all efforts to rouse him failed. He lay quietly In his hammock and never moved. He seemed deaf to all sounds, and at no time uttered a word. He was able to swallow food solid and liquid, and Indeed he made signs with his lips and tongue when he wanted nourishment. He was brought back to England, but no improvement followed, and the "unconsciousness" lasted for thirteen months. Then It was resolved to raise the depressed portion of the bone. Flaps were made a trephine was applied and the bone was cut through. An elevator was then introduced to raise the bone, and as the bone was lifted up consciousness suddenly returned to the patient and he spoke. At the time of the operation most of the onlookers accepted the case as genuine, but no one would nowadays venture to support the idea that the patient really lay unconsciousness for thirteen months, suddenly regaining consciousness on removal of the depressed bone. There can be no doubt that the man was a malingerer and adopted this arduous method of leaving a service Into which he had been forced. The amount of pain and discomfort which malingerers are willing to endure to obtain their discharge Is almost Incredible, but the facts are well attested. A limb has been held In a " 3 -,A| ?? mnnlh a Q nH nxeu PUSIUUU iur maiij iiiviiuio, ? not even the appliance of the actual cautery has sufficed to move It. Many men have chopped off some fingers and claimed that it was an accident. Mental derangement of one sort or another Is a favorite form of mallngery, but the results usually resemble the popular or stage Idea of insanity rather than the true products of mental alienation. It Is not uncommon for the malingerer to combine two forms of insanity, and this may be of value in detection. Still, It Is often very difficult to be certain that a patient is shamming. There are, however, some phenomena which cannot be simulated. It is impossible for a sane man to imitate successfully the persistent insomnia which often occurs in the insane; the Imposter cannot put off sleep beyond the second or third day. Another frequent motive for malingering is to attract attention, not for the purpose of obtaining money but merely to gain notice. Simulated Joint affections are not rare and there are many other forms. These cases merge imperceptibly Into hysteria, and indeed In many hysteria is combined with the wish to deceive. It is not improbable that In some of these patients there is a certain degree of cutaneous anesthesia which renders the self mutilation more easy of accomplishment. There are other causes for simulating diseases or injury. Sometimes it is done to avoid punishment, sometimes to wreak vengeance on another person who is accused of having inflicted the injury. To obtain I compensation for injury in a railway accident several lesions may be simulated and especially those obscure and ill defined conditions which have been attributed to "spinal concussion." Sad to relate, many of the attempts to imitate disease have led to serious and Irreparable results, and even to death itself. A man excited an ulcer in his leg by means of a copper coin, and later gangrene appeared, necessitating amputation below the knee. In endeavoring to excite hemoptysis ** n ftrtflr intn nrhl/tk a man or* a.nuncu a vvia nuv nuivii pins had been inserted. He spat up blood and became very emaciated and then suddenly died from hemorrhage. At the necroscopy It was found that the cork and pins had lodged at the Junction of the pharynx and esophagus and that the pins had ulcerated through the esophagal walls and had opened Into the common carotid artery on both sides. The detection of malingering Is often no easy matter, and no general rule can be laid down which will be applicable to all cases. The mere threatening of severe methods of treatment Is sometimes successful, but frequently fails. The threat of the application of the actual cautery has cured paralysis, but cases have been recorded where malingerers have endured the cautery on several occasions. A man who simulated blindness was placed on the edge of a Jetty and told to walk straight forward. He stepped out and fell Into the water, for he knew that those who were testing him dared not let him drown. In another case, however, a man who seemed to have paralysis of an arm allowed the amputating knife to be placed close to it without flinching, but when thrown Into the river he struck out with both arms and swam. A very useful method of detection Is the suggestion of new signs and symptoms to the patient. The surgeon remarks say, In the case of a paralyzed arm, In the hearing of the malingerer that It is strange that the little finger is flexed?It ought to be straight. In all probability at the next visit the little finger will have assumed the suggested position. The more outre and irregular the fresh symptoms suggested by the surgeon, the more definite is the detection. In general anesthesia we possess a valuable means of discriminating in certain cases between true and false paralysis, or contractures. While the patient Is going under or recovering from anesthesia the "paralyzed" limb may be seen to move freely?New Tork Sun. YORKVILLE MONUMENT WORKS. (Incorporated.)

You Can 5tart Right-A few days ago a young man who desired to insure his life, asked a prominent business man of Torkville, who carries a large amount of Insurance on his own life, but none in the Mutual Benefit,' what he thought of the Mutual Benefit and its policies, and without an Instant's delay received this reply: "I think so much of the company that I wish I had every dollar of my insurance with it." There is not any doubt that the gentleman meant exactly what he said, because he is recognized as being a person who says what he means and means what he says. Six years ago when he insured his life he expressed himself as believing that all the old line companies were "i^bout the same," but since that time and especially during the present year, he has become convinced that there is certainly a "Best Company," and that the Mutual Benefit is IT. You have the benefit of this gentleman's experience as well others, therefore you have the opportunity of starting right.
