"Don't swear or you'll catch no fish," was a remark made the other ; day by a venerable inhabitant to a . much younger man who was emphasizing his talk, by the use of some rather strong expletives. No one was engaged in fishing at the ' time, nor was a -piscatorial excur> sion being thought of. The sug. gestion was made in the back room of a cigar store, where three or four men were talking over current . \? ,.ii i evenis, ana me uuerauie uiauc uj i the aged citizen was intended, as he afterward said, to show his abhor- , I rence of the nonsensical use of P "cuss words." Then he felt called ! upon to deliver a little homily to his companions, all of whom, like himself, are well known residents of 1 Washington. "Men incur habits," he said, "that are really useless, and, in my opinion, swearing is one of the j worst of them. One can see why, | in moments of passion or great excitement, a person may indulge in swearing, but that some men, snd I know several of them, should break ., out with a series of oaths in o.-di- 1 nary everyday conversation strikes I me as beyond reason. "I presume we have all met men * who regard themselves and are so considered as gentlemen who rarer Iv express a sentence without , swearing. .More man tnai, xnev ; seem rather proud of their profi- : 1 cieney in this direction. I tell you that swearing is a habit that a little ! * determination will easily over5 come." M The sermoifv coming i " ..he ! ' lips of a man \ \ose hh^.a: ong beard were as w. ^ a1. -In'oW, had . t a good effect. The merchant ; was so impressed tha he declared f he would hang up a sign in his f J back room which should read, ; * "Gentlemen Are Requested Not to i Swear on These Premises." Wheth- ; ? er they allowed themselves the privilege of "cussing" elsewhere, he j 1, was no affair of his.?WashIon Tost. * Arose to the Occasion. 5 A successful schoolteacher married a wealthy widower. The man r had lived alone with his servants s since the death of his first wife. On 2 the morning after the bride's arriv' 1 * ? ? ?

Now, the little j . woman was far more familiar with the classics than with roasts and j ' stews, ar.d she was not a little dise mayed when Mary innocently pit ; f the question: "An* how will ye have the beef ; r cooked, mum?" For the merest instant she hesi- , tated. Not for a fortune would she ; have the old servant suspect her abe solute ignorance of cooker}'. But her years in the schoolroom bad not been in vain. Calmly and sweetly she answered: "You may cook it your way today, Mary, and then another time you can try my way." And the cook went downstairs with a high opinion of her new e mistress. Ancient High Building*. " In the Rome of the Caesars trouble was experienced with high build ings. A law was passed restricting - the height of fronts to 6ixty feet, j In order to evade it builders adopted the practice of carrying up the ' rear portion several stories more. e Other laws bearing on the heights 5 pi buildings were passed in olden t times. Therp was a tendency to dir minish the height of stories as the ^ buildings increased in size, and a height of 130 feet was probably att tailed. It is believed that the ceilr ings were 60 low that a man could i not stand upright in the rooms. ^ - Ric* CuKur*. * The best of all rice known in the market for size and quality is that grown in South Carolina. The year 1694 is the earliest in which rice is known to have been grown in this country. Rice culture is as old as history, having been known in India * from time immemorial. The wild 1 rice, still plentiful in the marshy, ironical countries of southern Asia, j ia undoubtedly the plant from which all forma of cultured riee have been 5 derived.?New York American. ? i Dyspepsia Aid Geieral Debility ^ are cured by P.P.P., Lippman's (ireat l Remedy, the superior of all sarsaparillas. P-P.P. is the greatest tonic for the 1 stomach that was ever known. Indigestion. Bad Dreams, and Biliousness give way rapidly to the powerful I tonic and blood cleansing properties of PP.P. A prominent, Railroad Superintendl ent living at Savannah. Ga., in wnich city he wa< born, says he feels better than he ever did, and he had the worst i case of dyspepsia on record. lie had no appetite, and the little he ate dis- ( agreed with him. causing him to vomit often; he had pains in the head. , breast sid stomach: but after using three bottles of P.P.P. he felt like a new man. He says that he feels that he could live forever if he could always get P.P. P. I] His name will be giveu on applica-: tion to us.. t j1 Book Name Blunders. A London publishing house for a ' long time kept a book in which were noted the curious blunders made by tho^e who asked for books, i "Worcester's Diseases of the Colander'' was asked for. "The Worcester Diocesan Calendar" was what was required. "River Frozen, Silent Gold and Unstopped Lands" was1 demanded. The book wanted was Rev. l'razer's "Silent Gods and Sun Steeped Lands." "Play Actress,"; by Crockett, Pseudonym Library,' was turned into "Play Actress and Cricket In the Pandemonium Library." "The Boy Hero," by Walsham IIow. was wanted, but the collector asked for "The Boy Hero of Walthamstow," and the same genius ? 3 Ury 1 - _ A A 99 :_A.~ ' lurnea rronaes .figreMes iuiu '"Bounders and Heret'cs/' >irST BELIEVE IT I When Well K sown Kiigstree People Tell It So Plainly.
