ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR A FREE PE -
A Wily Passenger.
Many funny incidents happen in the
trcct cars, and many evidences of
unique ingenuity can be observed
among passengers who adopt all sorts
of plans to keep the company out of
a fare.
The other day it was in the early
evening a man. a busy working man.
lie seemed, got in a car and proceeded
all the way to the front, where he snug
gled down for a quiet snooze, lie had
almost passed into the land of dreams
when he suddenly fat up, and fumbling
in his vest pocket fur a moment, drew
out a transfer. This he placed care
fully between his teeth, and then finally
dropped off for the "forty winks" of
rest some men fecm to think they get
while being carried along in a trolley.
"'It would be a pity to wake him."
said the conductor, as he paused to col
lect his fare, and he quietly drew from
the lips of the slumbering man the bit
of necessary paper. Of course, every
passenger was interested in the inci
dent, and when the destination of the
drowsy passenger was reached he
awoke quite widely, as sleepy riders
somehow have a way of doing, and
pulled himself together to step off. The
man next him related the occurrence
of the conductor and the transfer, and
asked if he was aware of that official's
proximity.
"Certainly, my good friend; it was an
old transfer I had had for some time,
and I was only biting off the date," re-
licd the wily doormouse, as he swung
limsclf off.
In judging character we are apt to
seek in others for qualities best suited
lo those we ourselves possess.
He who believes in nobody knows
that he himself is not to be trusted.

What to Eat.
Lamb, veal and fowls arc delicate and
healthy diet for the young and seden
tary and for all who find fat meats and
those of coarse fibre disagree with
them.
Butter is nutritious and generally
healthy. Condiments pepper, ginger,
et cctefa are best during the summer.
They are products of hot climates,
which shows them to be most appropri
ate for the hot season. On the other
hand, fat beef, bacon and such foods
should be most frequently used during
the cold weather.
One of the most usual causes oi dys
pepsia among business men and girls
arises from the haste in which they swal
low their food without sufficiently mas
ticating it and then hurry away to their
active pursuits.
There ought to be at least one hour
of quiet after a meat from those pur
suits which lax the brain as well as
those which exercise the muscles.
It is injurious to eat when greatly
fatigued of heated. The diet should
always be more spare, with a large pro
portion of vegetables and ripe fruits
during summer.
Fruits are most wholesome in their
appropriate season. The skins, stones I
and seeds are very indigestible.
Rich soups are injurious to the dys
peptic. Much liquid food is rarely ben
eficial for adults.
Rich gravies should be avoided, es
recially in the summer season.
I Most people drink too much because
j they drink too fast. Drink little (better
I not at all) during meals. If much is
1 taken, especially at dinner, it hinders
digestion.
Paper from Wood Pulp.
Wood pulp forms the basis of the
paper of the day, only the best quality
being made from rags. Other materi
als are also coming into use to meet
the cnnrmous demand for paper, and
plants which were at one time sup
posed to be of no economic importance
arc contributing their fibre to the man
ufacture. Among the new materials
may be named bagasse, the refuse of
the sugar mills, formerly a waste pro
duct save that it was employed for fuel.
Kicc straw, long only used as bedding
for cattle, is also .enlisted in the ser
vice oi the paper maker. Spruce is trie
wood now generally used in making
paper pulp, and of this there is a vast
amount not vet drawn unon in the Do.
minion of Canada. In the meantime,
protests are being raised against the
quality of the paper made from these
substitutes for rags. It answers the
purpose of ephemeral literature; but
there is good reason to believe that it
rapidly deteriorates, and that books
made of it will have but a short life. It
is somewhat humiliating for us to have
to acknowledge that our modern docu
ments cannot compare in permanence
with those written on Egyptian papyrus
before our own historical period be
gan. Not What la Wanted.
Khaki, it appears, is not the best col
or for the battlefield if a colorvis want

experiments with three cannon, two

mote distances the multi-colored guns
and their canvas "wings" were invisible,

Bad tor the Complexion.
We shall soon become accustomed to
the soft coal face which is a feature
of all towns where bituminctus coal is
burned a face peppered over lightly
with globules of soot, which seem
harmless until one tries to brush them
away with a handkerchief, when
they cease being globules and become
long smooches. Whether "smooch" is
a good English word, the writer has
not an idea; but it exactly expresses
the state of a bit of soft co;rt soot when
it has been interfered with. Given two
smooches to one cheek, and the per
son looks as if he had been firing a lo
comotive, and must go home instanter
to wash his face. The accustomed
manage matters better. When they see
a bit of coal dust lying on a friend's
cheek, they ask politely, "May I blow
in your face?" Permission being given,
they . lightly breathe the dust away,
knowing full well that this is the only
way to get rid of it without leaving a
mark.
Soft coal is not good for the com
plexion. It requires too much stren
uous washing of the face not to hurt
the skin. The best thing to use to get
rid oi its traces is almond meal and
warm water. These used at night just
before retiring, will keep the complex
ion in fairly good condition, especially
if they are followed up by applications
of a good cream. In the morning, cold
watfr should be used ifl abundance, and
then the face is. ready for another round
with air filled with particles of flying
black dust.
' A Wise Oracle.
In the olden time a certain man,
being stricken with grief, consulted the
oracle at Delphi.
"Go bury thy sorrow!" said the ora
cle. The man was not a little perplexed by
the advice, but concluded that about
the first thing to do was to dig a hole.
Now this was not easily to be achieved
in the rocky soi! of Hellas; and. where
as, as he began to dig the man thought
a very large hole would be necessary,
his idea was modified as he proceeded
until, in some fifteen minutes, it seem
ed clear that a real moderate hole
would suffice.
Having dug such, the man looked
around for his sorrow, but it was no
where to be seen. Turning upon him
self, he searched his bosom carefully.
"There's no heartache, here!" he
said.
In fact, the only ache in sight was a
backnche, and this did not matter, for
the man was well supplied with lini
ment. What a Man Does.
Under circumstances of danger a man
may be as cool as an icicle; he may
preserve an even mind when a ghost
comes into his" room at midnight; he
may assume command and act nobly
and well when the ship is sinking; but
let that man, let any man, upset his ink
stand, and he springs to his feet, makes
a desperate grasp for the inkstand, and
knocks it half-way across the table,
claws after his papers, and swoops
them through the sable puddle to save
them, tears his white silk handkerchief
from his pocket and mops ap the ink
with it, and alter he has smeared the
table, his hands, and his trousers with
ink, as far as it could be made to go,
discovers that early' in th engagement
he knocked the inkstand clear off the
table, and it has been draining its life
ink away all that time in the centre ol
th only light figure in th pattern of
th carpet. Then he wonders why a
man always makes a fool of himself
when he upsets a bottle of ink. H
doesn't know why. Nobody knows why.
But every time it is so. If you don t
believe it, try it.
Never seek to meet Evil unless to
correct It and put in it place some
good thing, which we ai encouraged
to do when we remcmbebr that the soil
which gives growth to a puituiioa:
wefd will also cause f ' 1 if
you take the trouble to in its
place.

TROUBLE.
When the skies are full of light,
' Over fields of blossoms bright;
While the stars smile down at night
On a sea like glass.
Tet no apprehension rise
' For the future overwise;
Never seek with anxious eye
Mmdows in the grass;
Borrow meet with scanty sighs,
It will pass.
If the sullen wind is drear.
Keep a hope undimmed by fcarj
Add not to the rain a tear.
Murmur not "Alas!"
lie a soldier, not a saint
Fighters have not time to faint.
Greet the cloud with no complaint,
Flout the frowning mass;
On it brow a rainbow paint,
It will pass.

Tears, a Woman's Ref
. uge in Times of Ex
treme Stress.
VKN at the ngp of ton sbp
knew how to cry.
The ti'nrs In her ('banning
blue vyc were mtcli nu ex
cellent nrgnincnt In fnvor of lur pro
teiiHlutiH that everybody, beginning
vltli father nncl mother nnd ending
with ehuuee vlitors, hastened to dry
her eyes by doing her sweet will.
It was Impossible not to notice that,
at present, It was no more the child
who cried, but the future woman. It
wns even Impossible not to perceive
these tears could be compared to the
denies nnd runs so necessary to the
pianist for the execution of a more
dltticult piece of music.
In short, the child m.inlfesU 1 a tal
entfor crying.
One duy, nfter a quarrel wh i her
little brother, to whom she had been
most unjust, she wns to be punished.
Hut when her pretty blue eyes looked
up nnd. ns usual, begun to fill with
tears, expressing In their depths nil the
stoicism of a martyr, her parents, un
hesitatingly nnd without further in
quiry, punished her Innocent little
brother. Could such eyes tell lies?
She understood, this time better than
ever, what It meant to know how to
cry. and derided for the future to profit
stllW,niore widely by the gift.
Once, convinced by facts, her mother
punished her without paying attention
lo her tears am bountiful Innocent ex
pression. The girl endured this affront,
she even stopped crying, but when her
father returned home the tears gath
ered in her eyes ouoe more.
"Whnfs she crying about?" he asked.
"She has been a naughty girl. I pun
ished her."
Her father only shrugged his shoul
ders; the uatighty girl didn't say a
word.
After dinner she went to her father's
study. She looked nt him, her eyes
filled with teurs, and she turned nway
to guze out of the window. She had
been shamefully Ill-used.
Her father went to her mother. The
bad n long discussion. For many day?
Sfter they dldu't speok to each otlie;

Seven years passed.
Thp time for coquetry nnd dress hnd
arrived. Knelt new dress cost but u
Tew tears.
Her beautiful eyes had become still
Bore enchanting, nnd their glances
iverc so used to deal out moisture that
tlreudy tears cost her but llttla trouble
ir effort. Then came a decisive duy.
A rich and handsome yottntt man
turned up nt the house. At llrst he
iily came for papa on business, but
leelns the beautiful daughter he began
'.o look In, and so on.
However, ho gave no particular sign
)f his Intentions, and she determined
:o elucidate the situation. She con
nived n tete-n-tete. looking lnnguish
ngly nt lilin her eyes tilled with tears.
Who could describe the charm and en
;hantiiieiit of those limpid orbs? In
!he:r pellucid depths were perceptible
'.he torments of love, the struggle of
(toman's self-esteem, a dlviue sorrow
ind snduess.
lie couldn't stand It. He fell upon
his knees.
The matter was settled.
nco married aim didn't often cry.
But the critical moment was always In
her favor thut Is, in favor of her
wect eyes.
And because she wns so wise she
oever misused her excellent gift; she
jnderstood that a little excess nud this
:linrm would vanish like smoke.
Her husbund Idolized her.
He always said she was an Ideal
woman; everything about her was
noniaiily, her dolugs, smiles, tears,
kioks, tits of anger.
But above all he loved her tears.
Ah! what were those tears? On see
ing them one understood the power
that lies often hidden in complete im
potence. What could be more passive or more
rentle than flume tears, at the same
time how strong to calm the rage of a
wretch, and to rend with repentance
the soul of any ordlnury man. capable
it lirluglng tears to those beautiful
eyes.
Her husband felt he was a slave to
her tears, but we are all slaves to
beauty.
As her children grew up their great
est punishment was to see their moth
er's tears.
And even here she knew how to ap
ply them wisely nud delicately.
Her eldest son, a bright boy. full of
pranks, used to relate In nfter life that
he would rather bear several thrash
ings thou see tears In bis mother's
eye. They produced an Inevitable
sensation, they extinguished every
spark of naughtiness.
When, on attaiulng hi majority, be
plungHl Into a life of self-indulgence
and IrvUhness, when no -written ad
monition had any effect, and a request
to return to the paternal roof was left
unanswered, lu aplte of the distance,
bis mother bad come to him, and, see
ing ber tears b began to tremble.
When, at last, tlnio brought the un
avoidable wrinkles to ber beautiful
eyes, ber tears were more tragic and
their power became still greater.
From blm they extracted a promise
which he never broke. The tears of
! the mother saved the son. And now
ber husband s business began to tot
ter. HI apparent wealth proved less
solid thau was supposed. Several un
expected crashes followed oae upon
E
another. Nothing remnlnod, nnd po
crty drew neur with a cruel smile
The head of the family, Impotent
bowed his head.
In answer to his wife's: "What coult
they do now, how live for the rest ol
their days?" he answered laconienlly
"I don't know."
And what Is he to do to-day who los
everything yesterday.
"Wc must try for n pension," ah'
said.
"I have no right to one," be nn
swered.
"Still we enn try; perhaps they'll In
Indulgent."
He only despaired of success.
So she decided to move In the matte
herself.
Before entering on her Inst undortak
Ing this woman looked at herself for r
long time In the glass.
She wntched her eyes fill screra
times with tears; several times slit
watched them change expression, nnf
then, putting on a black dress, sin
placed several papers in a small hand
bag, nnd left the house.
At the office they listened politely t
her demand, but Informed her thai
they couldn't push the manor, whirl
was without the slightest foundation
nnd therefore to do so would be, le
gaily, to defraud.
She then solicited audiences of those
on which depended the examlunlluu o'
her application.
Somebody thoucht that, perhaps ns
nn exception for her, the matter mlgli'
bp looked Into.
Slip was refused.
She began to cry. For the first time
In her life tears flowed Involuntarily.
With Inexpresslbe entreaty she fixed
her eyes on blm who hud the powei
nnd yet refused to grant an audience.
She didn't utter a word. He grantee
her request.
Now everything depended on this In
tervlew.
The faded beatify, the faded silk
dress, the faded but still benutifu'
eyes, nnd at last the tears . . . the
quiet, silent tears . . . lent words tc
express the request which siowlj
shimmered In her eyes.
Her husband was saved from bog
gnry.
But from that day her tears seemed
dried up shenhvays looked severe am.'
cold. When her son, once more In debt.
blew out his brains, sha didn't shed a
tear.
The tears of this woman had don
their work, and they were dried up foi
human things, nnd the tears, given her
for that purpose, could not RUfliee to
soothe the sore nflllctlons of mankind.
On his death bed her husband, hold
ing her hnnd, asked suddenly: "You
don't cry! Don't you love me?"
Something distorted her lips. Was It
a smile? It was more like '.he rpasmg
of pain.
"Do I cost you no tear?"
"My love," she whispered, poothlna
his forehend and gray hair with her
trembling baud, "ray love, don't talk
like that."
Yuc dying man closed his eyes.
She remained ns she wns seated for
several minutes without moving a mus
cle. Suddenly she rose.
She lnughed nloud.
She squeezed her throat to stop the
laughter that was bubbling up.
She rushed to her room, and there
began to lanp;h so loud that fhey bad
to send for the doctor.
He said It was an ncnle p.iron.vsni
of hysteria.
When her husband tiled the nttac't
renewed Itself, and ou her lips It left a
chronic smile.
Whether the lips were distorted with
pniu or whether this smile took the
nlnce of this tears that had disappeared
it was difficult to decide, but nfter this
her eyes never filled with tears.
She took a smnll furnished room nnd
lived nlone like a misanthrope. The
neighbors said she must be. made of
stone.
She died ptraniely.
The landlady will tell yon that n few
days before her death she went mad.
She had mumbled something and when
the landlady hud listened nt the key
hole she could only distinguish one
sentence:
"Where are my tears?"
"There! She's goue nnd lost her
tears!" laughed the landlady. "Now
is it worth while to cry for tenrs';"
.' . . and within she heard repeated
"Tears! Tears! (Jive nie tears'."
"Lor"! What a fool!" sa!d the land
lady, going off.
The third day the lodser, who but
seldom left her room, did not go out
at all.
And the next day she did not go out.
They called. She didn't answer. They
broke open the door.
The lodger was dead.
