Every reader must have noted that certain men In history are charged with being specially capable lady kill* ers. Their victims In a few coses num ber hundreds; In many scores or dozens. This author selects sixteen of the more notable of the lady killers, and attempts to prove that In every case the men were more victims than con querors. There Is a well-known line that Byron once awoke and found himself famous; a better known line announces he awoke another morning, and found himself Infamous. Women largely assisted In giving Byron this last reputation, jjuid it has outlasted the first. My observation has been that both parties to a u?*e afTair are about equally guilty and equally sufTer. In every fight there Is a cauliflower ear for both participants; Blue f?nrd, Byron, Casanova, Cellini, no one goes about beating up either men or wom en without punishment. ? ? ? Every one must be frequently amazed at the reckless statements men make when '?arguing" their side of a question. One of the most common and amaz ing of such statements Is that no at tempt has ever been made to enforce tiie prohibitory law ; rliat the law hits never had a rhabie. Every prohibi tionist makes this claim daily. Vet official records- show that three and a half billion dollars in money alone have been spent In special ef forts to enforce t he law. in addition to the loss of more than eighteen bil lions in revenue formerly collected from the sale of liquor. There are so many special prohibition agents sneak ing about even now after the law has been practically nullified, that two squads recently met. and, mistaking each other for rum fiends, killed and wounded several. I do not know what lias got into people, unless It Is that deviltry which once got Into a famous lot of swine, and caused the crazy animals to rush to a high precipice, and Jump off. When I first began seriously con sidering the serious facts of life, that I might reasonably understand and apply them, I recall being shocked on encountering a statement that all men are liars; a little later I read that all men are also scoundrels. Surely, [ thought, a few must have discovered that it is best to tell the truth, to be honest men. But. alas, such state ments do not shook me, or anvone, now. ? ? ? I hear of an old woman who for thirty years has been a burden on Sons, daughters and other kin. She has nothing, does nothing, has never done anything of consequence, and Is an object of charity, but what do you suppose her specialty Is? Curiously enough, it Is constant weeping because her already heavily burdened relatives do n?t give her wealth with which to do good. In her idleness she hears the groans of the world, and wishes to bring more Jov Into It. Don't laugh too much- at this foolish old woman; nil of us wish fame as philanthropists, the fnrne to he ncqulred with money collected from others. It Is the universal nasslon. The sprightly Sydney Smith is quoted as saying It Is the duty of every man to show his wife Paris', but far more women wish to do missionary work than care to visit Paris; and more men long to engage in politics than long to show their wives the art and apaches of the French. * ? ? Many are saying Impressively no one understands Bernard Shaw. The truth Is. Shaw Is e/islly under stood; he Is a lucky dog who has blun dered Into the discovery that It Is easi er and more profitable to tell the truth than to be a hypocrite and liar. I have read a summary of Shaw's speech In Now York, and of most he has written. He charges Americans with no folly we have not charged against ourselves; books and maga zines have for years been full of the belated warnings Shaw Is now attract ing attention with. Shaw knows noth ing millions of Americans have not long known ; he attracts great audi ences only because It Is great novelty for a man to tell the truth In public. ? ? >? In traveling there are many stretch es of plain and easy rand. but occa sionally every road forks, nnd you must use your head, since one road Is right, and the other wrong. I will only say as to this emergency that commonly the right road Is as plainly marked as the wrong one. I have irav eled far and long, hut never yet have I found a man mean enough to will fully put up a wrong sign where a road forks. ? ? ? A few days befrtre his death Slier Ins wrote a note addressed to his pall bearers, to be delivered to them when they were called to perform their duty: "Be assured, gentleman," he wrote, "that I ahall In future be a good man. I have long been convinced of the wisdom of complete virtue, but human nature hnft prevented my prac ticing It until now.'* ?. I9JS. noil SynillcfctA.-- w Nil Korvk#. Much Benefit in Glass of Water May Be Hot or Cold, as One Prefers It. Many people do not realize th.e benefit to be had from a single glass of water. It may be hot or colli, as you like. ?

"It might he noted in passing that warm water Is an emetic always at hand, one which may he useful on oc casion in the event of the introduc tfon into the stomach of elements alien to it. "If tepid water gives powers of resistance t,o our stomach, water that Is hot will not Incommode it. "On the contrary, hot water may make the cleansing of the stomach simpler, and may indeed render its processes easier. "Take every morning, before eat ing, a coffee cup full of water as hot as you can stand it. "You might, if you feel Impelled, drop in a suspicion of lemon juice. "You will soon feel the beneilclal effects of this hot drink. "Your stomach will rid Itself of all the unpleasant residues that em barrass it, and your day will pass In | a more agreeable manner. "Now and then a doctor has his patient take In quite a quantity of water before a repast, and then lie down for L'O minutes. The wa*er may be warm, ci 'd, or even hot, ac cording to circumstances.
