A workman engaged 011 some scaffolding had missed his footing and had fallen many feet into the street below. Then the reporter went off to interview the unfortunate man. who luckily had escaped with a ver\ severe shaking and a few nasty bruises, and asked sympathetically: "Did you have vertigo, my man?"

The constant habit of smoking pipes has a perceptible effect upon the face. The pressure of the lips to hold the pipe in position increases the curva ture of the lips round the stem, and the muscles become more rigid here than in oth( r parts. Thus the lips at a certain point become stronger, and the pipe is unconsciously held in th • same habitual position. After long continu ation of the habit small circular wrin kles form parallel with the curvature of the lips around the stem. These are crossed by finer lines caused by the pressure of the lips t > retain the stem in position. In the case of old men who have smoked a pipe for years the effect upon the lips is very marked, not only altering the form of the lips, but of the one entire side of the face. Causing the wrinkles that are the re sult of age to deepen and instead of following the natural course of facial wrinkles to chaiigo their course so as to radiate from the part of the mouth where the pipe is habitually carried. Furthermore, one or both lips often protrude, just like the lips of people who used to suck their thumbs when children.—Medical Uecord. F-ainful Etiquette. The royal court of France used to be i a great place for etiquette. Louis XIV. once caught a severe «*old owing to 1 the fact that on bis arising from his ; bed one cold morning the lord of the 1 chamber, whose duty it was to hand ! him his shirt, happened to be absent.

The Lancet tells of a peculiar case in j a London hospital. The patient, a i healthy Scotch girl, aged twenty years | was In the habit of putting pins in lies mouth and sometimes had been known to fall asleep without removing them, She was admitted to the hospital, liav . ing swallowed live pins accidentally i while fixing clothes, and by the lielji I of emetics she was relieved of them. • Ketuniiii" home, she began regularly ! to vomit pins and g>t rid of twenty j three in the course of a month.

He Emptied His Pockets. The Comic de Corbieres, minister of j the Interior to Louis W ill., while ! working in the king's cabinet one day | became absorbed in bis work and so I far forgot himself as to place his j snuffbox 011 the king's desk after tak ing snuff. The king observed this un heard of familiarity fro.a the corner I of his eye, but said nothing. Present I ly the minister whipped out his pocket i handkerchief and placed it besiiie the ; snuffbox. | "M.de Corbieres," remarked the 1 king at last, "you appear to be empty ing your pockets." "Perhaps so. sire," was the caliu re sponse. "but that is much better than : filling them." The king smiled at the clever hit at the corruption of some of the minis ter's predecessors. Corbieres was noted for his scrupulous integrity. Neat Little Game. After lea she brought over his pipe and his slippers. "John," she whispered tenderly, "do you know my conscience has been hurting me and I have formed a little conscience fund." "Conscience fund?" asked the big husband in surprise. "Yes, dear.

"Now—now that I have been so hon est, would—would you mind giving ine the 'conscience fund' to buy a pretty hat I saw in a window today?" Hos ton Post. Could See Too Much. A line, robust soldier, after serving his country faithfully for some time, became greatly reduced in weight, owing to exposure and scanty rations, until he was so weak he could hardly stand. Consequently he got leave of absence togo home and recuperate. He arrived at his home station looking very badly. Just sis lie stepped off tlie boat one of his old friends rushed up to him and said, "Well, well, Pat, I see you're back from the front." Pat looked worried and replied, "Be gorrti, I knew I was getting thin, but I nlvver thought you could see that much!"- London Tit-Bits. Noah and Genoa. In his "Humbling Recollections" Sir Henry Drunimond Wolff tells the fol lowing story of Bulwer Lytton: "A lady one day remarked to the fa mous novelist and politician how odd it was that a dove (derived from the word coloinbe) should have been sent to find the Old World and that Colum bus (Coloinbe) should have found the new.

Before the Mirror. He is one of those persons with a mad passion for figuring out "llow much," "How long," etc., and was wait ing for his wife, who was adjusting her hat before the mirror. They were going to the theater and had ten min utes lo catch their train. Presently a sparkle came into his eye, and lie fish ed a pencil and paper from his pocket. That kind of man always lias a pencil and paper even in his evening clothes. "Do you know," lie said presently, looking up at his wife, who had finish ed adjusting her hat, "that 1 figure, basing my figures on observation, that a girl lrorn six lo ten spends an aver age of seven minutes a day before her mirror, from ten to fifteen ;i <iuarter of an hour, from fifteen to twenty twenty two miuutes.

To emphasize his point lie said, 'What can be more horrible than Miss ' Fowler's trick of saying "Everybody 1 laughed?" ' There was a dead pause. He evidently expected me to make a re mark. for when I did not speak he 1 turned and said: 'Oh, don't you know , Miss Fowler's books? Haven't you read any of them?'
