"Brown had received a setback that ho will not recover from for some time," said JJodson, as ha sipped his coffee. "1 honest ly believe that he has corrupted every decent waiter in the city by his outlandish •ystem of overtipping, making it almost im possible for a modiest tipper to get any serv ice at all. "He had a habit of starting with the head ■waiter, and tipping them all down the line. 1 don't know whether he had ever tipped the dishwashers or not, but 1 have my suspi cions that he did. "The result has been that the waiteri looked upon him as a sort of Indian nabob ( or a returned king from the Klondike, ana would pay no attention to anyone els# when he was present. "You might complain and storm all vou liked, but it would have no effect. When Brown entered everything else was dropped uniil the imaginary specks of dirt were wiped from the immaculate table cloth and spotless china, and Brown seated In ull his solitary glory at his favorite place, which was always reserved for him. But all that is changed now, and he is looking around for some anti-tipping BO cietv to join." "Kind a fly in his soup?" asked Smith. "\\ orse than that.

THE CHARM OF MUSIC. Its Effecta Were Very Agreeable to tlie Fellow Who Wan Cateh liiK Fish. A fisherman once took his cornet to tha lake with him, in hopes that his harmonious notes would have a hypnotic influence in attracting the fish to his hook. As soon as he had set his lines he raised the cornet to his lips, and soon made the welkin ring with some of the latest popular airs, but without the expected result of gain ing liites. "Perhaps I don't play loud enough," he thought. So he blew his cornet louder, but still no nibble. "Confound it!" he exclaimed. "Where are all the suckers to-day?" At that moment he glanced to the oppo site extremity of tlie lake, where he saw an other angler pulling in fish hand over hand, who, seeing he was observed by the cornet ist, shouted: "Bravo! Encore!" "1 am glad that somebody appreciates my music," thought the man with the cornet. So, again raising the instrument, he accom modated the luckier fisherman with another effort. "Again! Again!" shouted the second fish erm in. "Is my music so great?" hallooed the cor net ist. "No," replied the fisherman, "but it keeps ell the fish over at this end of the lake."— K. Y. World.

So he stepped forward to the front of the stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is in this audience any young man who would like to know the name of his future wife, if that young man will kindly stand up 1 will un dertake to tell him, and this is no guessing competition. Now, will any single young man kindly stand up?" Up jumped a young man in the center of the room. "Thank you," said the conjurer. "Now, do you wish to know the name of your fu ture wife?" "I do," said the young man. "Well," said the man of magic, "I always like to do things in a proper business fash ion; will you kindly give me your name?" "Yes, certainly, said the young man; "my name is James Jackson." "Thank you," replied the conjurer; "then the name of your future wife will be Airs. Jackson."—London Tit-Bits. Hirer's Don'ts.

The latest picture of Mrs. McKinley ■hows her looking remarkably well; the picture is a very pretty one of u profile with the eyes looking serenely ahead. That is one of the charms of Mrs. McK in ley's face its perfect serenity—and a person gazing on this face can easily believe that the presi dent's home has been a "haven of peace." Mrs. Mc.Kinley's invalidism, which her friends say is now much improved, got her in the habit of wearing her hair short; then she discovered that short, wavy hair was becoming to her. Now she wears it done in such a way that one can scarcely tell whether it is long or short. Mrs. McKinley is n very tasteful wom an in dress. She wears soft effects around her neck, and is said to be op posed to flic tailor-made style of dress ing, as too severe and unfeminine. i / V MRS. WILLIAM M'K IN LEY. Mrs. McKinley is one of the many women now prominently before the public as the wives of statesmen who were not poor in their youth; she nevei knew the struggles of the wash tub and the frying pan. ller father was a bank er, and though this does not mean a great deal in a small place, it meant comfort for her. She entered mercan tile life as his assistant, and took a great interest in tjie work, i.ot from necessity, but from pleasure. She re ceived a fine education at one of the seminaries for young ladies in Ohio, and remained there until she was well fitted for a teacher. ller friends have been carefully chosen and the most of these have been professionals, for she is very fond of artists and musical composers. Though reports say to the contrary. Mrs. Mc- Kinley is distinctively a society woman, and she goes out whenever her health allows her and sometimes when it does not. She is a clever conversationalist, and is well known for her repartee. Mrs. McKinley is one of the most de lightful hostesses in Washington and will entertain quite often during the winter. With herselif as first lady of the white house, Mrs. Ilay as the leader of the cabinet ladies, and Mrs. Ilobart bs the representative of society—a posi tion which always belongs to the wife of the vice president— Washington will be largely entertained this winter by homes of wealth, and of the three Mrs. McKinley will do her full share. TO AVOID COUGHING. Draw 11 Ilec|>, I.OIIK Tireiith and ll'VJil It Inlll It Soothes Every Air Cell. A physcian who is connected with an Institution in which there are many children, says: "There is nothing more irritable to a cough than coughing. For some time 1 had been so fully as sured of this that 1 determined for one minute at least to lessen the number of coughs heard in a certain ward in a hospital of the institution. By the promise of rewards and punishments ] succeeded in inducing them simply to hold their breath when tempted to cough, and in a little while 1 was my self surprised to see how some of the children entirely recovered from the disease. Constant coughing is precise ly like scratching a wound on the out side of the body; so long as it is done, the wound will not heal. Let a per son when tempted to cough draw u long breath and hold it until it warms und soothes every air cell, and some benefit will soon be received from this process. The nitrogen which is thus confined acts as an anodyne to the mu cous membrane, allaying the desire to cough, and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal."—Scientific American.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1899 PREVENTABLE ILLNESS. LnrU of Pure Air in I* Mom! Prolific Sourc«* off Poor lltwiltli unci Sufl'cri UK. It is amazing how much sickness is* I ! preventable. How much misery, dis -1 comfort and ill-healtli the housewife is ! often direct])' responsible for, and jot 1 how often sin: is entirely unconscious | of her responsibility and her failure. Many a person who is called a neat housekeeper has no idea of anything '• beyond polishing "the outside of the ! front door." One mother whom 1 know prides her | s~elf on having her rooms all in order | very early in the morning. She is too | intent upon this to air the children's i beds properly and makes them up while they are still warm from the previous i night. For economic reasons she does not 'air the rooms thoroughly in cold ! weather, as it takes so much more fire Ito heat them again. The consequence ; is her children are almost always ail ! ing. She says of them herself, "the) get ! everything that is going." i They arc accustomed to inhale so j much poison from the vitiated atmos phere of their own rooms that the least ! chilling of their bodies or excess in ! eatir.g throws them in a state of fever. This mother is a very religious wom an and prays every day for the health and happiness of her offspring, and yet they are never well, and so of course cannot be happy. The lady of whom 1 am writing keeps cne servant, whom she leaves to her own devices as long as things look neat. The lady herself never descends below the kitchen to see what is going on in the cellar. About once or tvrice a year, however, the neighbors are treated to a very suggestive sight. It is the an nual or ccmi-annual cleaning. No housewife does her whole duty who does not look into lier own cellar and insist upon its being thoroughly cieaned at least once a week, ( are should also be taken to allow pure, fresh air to constantly enter the cel lar. It is \"otr oir from the cellar which diffuse tlsolt throughout the whole houso How important, then, that the cellar should be clean. Some foolish people have a prejudice against opening their windows at night, thinking that night air is bad for the child. The night ait Is all we have to breathe at night, and the less stagnant it is the better for all concerned. A lady who boards and has time to look after her neighbors a little told me that opposite her residence there >ere only about half a dozen of the sleeping rooms where the windows were ever open at night during cold weather. Everybody must know that smallpox, measles and other eruptive diseases spread more readily and universally in winter than in summer. The reason ia this: The poison is allowed to concen trate.
