DU Cailxu's Vain Hunt. Paul Du Chaillu was the most gal lant of bachelors and always openly confessed that he was quite unable to resist the wiles of the fair sex, so much so that he had never been able to choose between them. On one occasion when he was "the lion" at a reception given by some intimate friends in New York the hostess in presenting him to one of her guests said: "Let me present you to :frs. -. You must know her, Paul, because she has just written a book." "A book, madam!" he exclaimed. "Then, indeed, am I most delighted to uteet her. I once made a book myself. Bgt what is the title of your book?" "The name of it is 'What One Wom an Thinks,"' was the smiling response. "Ah, indeed, and most interesting! 'What One Woman Thinks!' " repeated the great explorer. And then, with a simulated excitement, he added hastily: "But wheie can I procure a copy of it? I must have it at once-immediate ly. All my life I have been trying in vain to find out what women think, and it before I die I shall succeed in find ing out just what one woman thinks I shall thei indeed die content"-New York Times. A Daring Eskimo Lover. A young Eskimo had secretly courted the daughter of an enemy. The huts of the lovers were not far removed, but one night the terrific cold xipped a great crevasse in the ice, and the young man's house was left isolated. A gorge 100 feet deep and twenty feet wide separated it from the igloo, or hut, containing his swectheart, but there was a narrow bridge of Ice left across the crevasse, and this, the young man found, would bear his weight Eski mos sleep in bags. The lover decided that he would that night cross the Ice bridge, steal the maiden he loved, bear her to his hut and then break down the bridge so that he and she together might enjoy their honeymoon unmo lested. He planned very successfully. He crept in the dead of night into his enemy's hut, he snatched up the maid en in her sack without awaking any one, he bore her over the Ice bridge safely, and then he opened the sack to embrace his bride; but, beholding its contents, he gave a loud cry. It was not the maiden, but her father, that he bad stolen. Hairdressing In Japan. Hairdressing is an elaborate study in Japan, where the style of the coif fure generally indicates the position and age of the lady. Thus girls of eight or nine wear their hair in a bow at the back bound round with red crape, the front left bare except for two locks dangling at the side, and the mar riageable damsels comb their tresses high in front and arrange them' el-. ther in the shape of a butterfly or a half opened fan. A widow looking out for a second spouse twists her locks round a long shell hairpin placed hori ontally across the back of the head, while she who vows to remain faithful to the dear departed cuts her hair short and combs it plainly back with out any parting. Carlyle and His Home. When the great writer Carlyle was engaged to Miss Welsh the latter in duced her mother to consent that'Car lyle should live with both of them and share the advantage of an established house and income. But Carlyle an swered Miss Welsh's proposal by say ing that two households could not live as If they were one and that he would never have any right enjoyment of his wife's company till she was "all his own," adding that the moment he was master of a house the first use he would make of it would be to slam the door against nauseous intruders. The Word "Ragging." The word "ragging" is more common in England than In this country, even If the custom is not. An English paper asserts that "rag" Is not a slang word, but Is a real old verb, also to be found in use among Icelanders, meaning to banter or irritate. In Lincolnshire and doubtless other counties to provoke a boy is called "getting his rag out-" "Bullyrag" is an elaboration of the ele mentarf term, and here also the mean ing is clear. A ragamufln originally heant a kind of demon. Evidences of Friendship. She-Yes, you men have what you call friends, but your friendship is so superficial, so calculating, so watery He-Oh! But don't you remember David- and Jonathan, Damon and Pythias, Goethe and Schiller "Yes; but you never brush each other's hair, nor show each other your new hats, nor discuss what is best for baby's throat, nor how to make up an old frock, nor anything." Easy to Make Talk. Mrs. Closefist-Oh, do give me a new bonnet, my dear! It will set all my friends talking. Mr. Closefist-If you're after notori ety why don't you get the old one made over? That will make yotur friends talk twice as much.-Judge Chieken Foot Luck. "Do you think that there Is luck in rabbIt's foot?"

Miss Pertly-Of course; but, then, you know it makes a difference where one has only a few.--Boston Tran Pudding at Degeinann of Dinner. The custom of serving Pudding as the first course at dinner seems to have in terested a good many people of our day. A gentleman from Maine in forms the writer that it is still the cus tom in certain sections of his state. In the autobiography of the Adams fami ly it is nientioned that at a dinner giv en by the venerable ex-president of the United States, at which his grand children were present, the firstt course was Indian pudding. and the little folks were told that the more pudding they ate the more beef they could have. So of course they gorged them selves on the pudding, and as a con sequence they had no appetite for beef when it was served. Thus were main tained the simple and economical meth ods of the forefathers. The boys who came to the city from the country and later became the successful and wealthy merchants of Boston were rais ed in a most frugal manner. Their breakfast the year round was of brown bread and milk and the same for their supper. The dinner was of baked beans and pie, rarely any meat.-Bos ton Transcript. A Picturesque Statesman. The El Dorado Republican gives a pic ture of an early statesman and his pic turesque attire: When the Hon. David L. McCabe was elected to the legisla ture from Butler county in 1865 and went to Topeka to be sworn in he as tonished not only the natives, but ev erybody else, as he was the most gor geously dressed statesman that Kansas had ever produced. He was very dark, with long black hair. On his head was a coonskin cap, the tail of the coonskin hanging gracefully down his back. His coat was made of wolfskins nicely tan ned and lined with red flannel. Six handsome tails hung from his coai tails and flapped in the breeze as he mean dered up to the speaker's desk to take the oath. He wore a spotted doeskin vest, buckskin knee breeches, hand somely fringed; top boots, gloves made of beaver skin, a watch chain done In beadwork. a flannel shirt with a flam ing red bandanna pocket handkerchief around his neck, and it is needless to say he created a sensation. Inappropriate Quotations. The following is a good example of Inappropriate quotations: A clergyman appointed to an East End living found his parish church sadly in need of re pair and gave orders for its renovation. While this was in hand the Idea oc curred to him to visit the mission halls in connection with it to see what might be needed there. In one of them which was used as a mission chapel he found a state of indescribable filth from end to end and an accompanying effiuvia. In disgust he raised his eyes toward the roof and could hardly repress a fit of laughter on reading the text sten ciled on the wall behind the pulpit, "How dreadful Is this place!" Another story is of an old Presbyterian clergy man who, away on a preaching engage ment, found above the bed on which he was to sleep the singular advice, "Oc cupy till I come."-London Chronicle. Luck and Labor. If the boy who exclaims "Just my luck!" were truthful he would say "Just my laziness!" or "Just my inat tention!" Luck is waiting for something to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the post man would bring him news of a lega cy. - Labor turns out at 6 o'clock and .with a busy pen or ringing hammer lays the foundation of a competence. Luck whines; labor whistles. Luck relies on chances, labor on char acter. Luck slips down to indigence; labor strides upward to independence.-Chris tian Advocate. A Puzzle Fable. An American heiress was wooed by a foreign prince, who urgently besought her to become his wvife. In order to test the sincerity of his love she asked, "Will you still marry me if I give away all my money for charity and become as poor as yourself?" The prince considered awhile, and then responded, "Yes, provided you will still marry me if I renounce my title and become a plain republican per son like yourself." Query.-Did she agree to his proposi tion?-Smart Set. An Arab Legend. "There- is none so poor but there is one poorer." A poor Arab spent his last barn on a handful of dates and went up on a high cliff to eat them and die. As he. threw the stones over a lean hand shot Iout below and caught them. "Ho!" said he. "Why do you catch my date stones?" "Because, 0 brother," answered a weak voice, "I have not eaten these three days, and Allah has sent these stones to save my life." "Praise be to Allah," answered the first man, "-for he has saved me also, for here is one poorer than I." And both men went into the city. ialleable Glass of the Egyptians. Strabo and Josephus both affirm that the Egyptian glass workers were so well skilled in their art that they imi tated the amethyst and other precious stones to perfection. Malleable glass was one of the secret arts of the an cients, the formula for making it being now reckoned as lost. Strabo mentions a cup of glass which could be ham mered into any desired shape, the ma terial of which it was composed being as ductile as lead. lie workea On.

The Ruling Passion. Son-Pa, every now and then I see something in the papers about the "rul ing passion." What is it, anyway? Pa (after a cautious glance around the apartment)-It's a disease your ma is badly afflicted with, my son. Not to Blame. The Elderly Lady-They say his wife has money. The Younger-Well, that isn't his fault. They've only been married a short time.
