"It seems odd that the English al phabet, out of which can be construct ed several thousands of words, con tains just one word fotmed by the let ters in their present order." remarked the observant young man. "That word is 'No.' You can look the alphabet over, and you won't find any other' combination of vowel and consonant characters that will form a word. The nearest approach is 'Ab,' which by straining a point might be considered an abbreviation of 'Abraham,' or 'Hp which might answer as short for 'Hi ram.' But 'No,' one of the shortest words in the language, is the only bona fide word formed in the arrange ment of the alphabet's , twenty-six characters."-Philadelphia Record. A Splendid Idea.

A man who runs an ostrich farm. asked the other day as to the- method - of gathering the feathers, adm.tted that they were pulled out of the birds ~once in every eight months. Was the process painful?I "Well," he replied, "about ecjual to pulling out your eyeteeth." A good many ladies who wear ostrich feath ers do so in the belief that they are thereby serving the cause of humanity. sp As a matter of fact, they are encour- b aging the most cruel and barbaroustf torture which man can indlict upon a t bird.-Sporting and Dramatic News.

The natives prefer black teeth ani to the whiter kind, and the toothstain er, with a little box of brushes and coloring matter, calls on his customers and stains their teeth. The process is not unlike that of blacking a boot, for a fine polish is given to the teeth. The pigment used is quite harmless. In Arabia the trade of "gossiper" has many followers. The "gossiper" col lects all the new~ tittle-tattle. jokes and stories he can get hold of :nd i then goes from house to house retail ing thenm.

Effect of Arsenic on the Face. 0 The slow absorption of many poisons changes in some more or less modified form the complexion, but arsenic and ammonia show their effect about as quickly as any. The popular belief that arsenic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill them-~ selves with it in small, continued doses. It produces a waxy, ivorylike appearance of the skin during a cer tain stage of the poisoning, but its ter rible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic.

Wa forget that the greatest thibgs are the simplest. In hunting for roses we trample the daisies under our feet. We are blind to th." chances and blessings near us because we are look ing so far away for them. Everything depends upon the power of the mind to see opportunities.

While the artificer plied his tools on the door the prisoner of fered expert criticism and encourage ment from the inside. He did not think mudh of the bungling amateur. There was a similar instance not long ago in ilLancashire.
