A Reasonable Excuse.
"Bridget," said Mrs. Subbubs stern
ly. "breakfast is half an hour late

"Vis, mini,'' returned Bridget meek
ly-
"What excuse have you to ofTer?
You know 1 told you that Mr. Sub
bubs must catch that early train, and
punctuality at breakfast i,s absolutely
necessary," said the lady.
"Sure an' Oi overshlep' mesllf," said
Bridget.
"That is no excuse," said the mis
tress. "I gave you an alarm clock
only yesterday."
"Ol know that, mini."
"Did you wind il up?"
"Oi did."
"And didn't it go off?"
"Sure an' it did that. It made a tar
rlble n'lse."
"Then why didn't you get up?"
"Sure, mini," responded Bridget tear
fully. "it was that t'ing that's made
all the tlirouble. OI niver shlep' a

To Cure Wrinkles.
"I.ook at a paralytic if you think
wrinkles Incurable," said a beauty doe
tor. "On the side ho Is paralyzed all
bis wrinkles dlsnppr.ir. Though he be
sixty or seventy, his profile on that
side is the profile of a youth. So the
paralytic shows us how to cure our
wrinkles namely, by keeping our fa
cial muscles still. If we keep our faces
in perfect repose, never laughing when
the comedian sings his best song, nev
er weeping when wife or sweetheart
dies, we will have no wrinkles what
ever. The skin wouldn't wrinkle if it
were not exposed. The skin of the
body Is much disturbed by action of
the muscles underneath—as at the
Knee, for Instance-yet this unexposed
skin never wrinkles. Not being ex
posed to the bad Influence of sun and
wind, it has not lost the oil and the
elasticity of childhood. And that's
where I come In with my creams and
unguents and massages." New Or
leans Times-Democrat.
Taming Patti.
Pattl was to sing on a certain date
at Bucharest, but at the last moment
she declined to leave Vienna. It was
too cold; snow everywhere; she would
not risk catching her death of cold.
M. Srhurmann, the Impresario, was in
despair until a brilliant Inspiration
enme to him. Quickly he telegraphed
to the advance agent In the Rouma
nian capital: "At whatever cost I'attl
must receive an ovation at Bucharest
station from the Italian aristocracy
Send me by return the following wire:
'The members of the Italian and Rou
manian nobility are preparing to give
Mme. Patti a magnificent reception.
The ministrv will be represented. Pro
cessions, torches and bands. Tele
graph the hour of arrival.'" The ad
vance agent carried out this instruc
tion, and when the telegram dictated
to him over the wires arrived in Vi
enna it was handed to Fatti, with the
desired effect. "How charming!" she
murmured. "What time do we start?"
His Wonderful Invention.
Australia, as is well known, is In
fested with rabbits, a most destructive
and multitudinous pest. Not long ago
a man Invented the following plan:
You go out Into the field from which
the rabbits are to be removed. You
saw down a tree, and on the slant of
the stump you paint a black spot.
Then yon keep very quiet, so that the
rabbits will come back from their bur
rows and feed as usual. When a
large enough number has collected you
Clap your hands sharply. The effect
will be electric. The rabbits will jump
In haste for their burrows. At least
one is sure to mistake the black spot
for his hole and make for it. Invaria
bly he will dash his brains out. This
process, repeated often enough, Is
warranted to exterminate the rabbit
forever.
The reports do not say whether
there are any rabbits left in Australia.

One day an old gentleman who
found the Java village at the World's
fair very absorbing at length confided
in a young man standing near. "It's
powerful nice to watch," be said, "hut
1 may say I should be better on't If I
was a trifle better posted. My jogra
phy's a leetle rusty, and it's truth and
fact that I don't jestly know where
Java is. Now, where Is It?"
"Oh," said the young man, with Ihe
assured quiet of one who knows, "just
a little way from Mocha!"— Argonaut.
Making It Easier.
Little Jean's dolly had met with an
accident, and her mother had procured
a new head for it. The removal of
the old head proved to be a rather
difficult task, which Jean watched
with great interest.
"I'm afraid, Jean, I can't get this
old head off." said the mother.
Jean's face glowed with the light of
an Inspiration us she said:
"Never mind, mamma; just take the
body off."

Between Tears and Laughtar.
"Do you ever think, George, dear,"
wild she, and her voice was soft and
low, as befitted the perfect beauty of
the night, "do you ever think how
closely true happiness la allied with
tears?"
"I don't believe I ever do," admitted
George dear, "but I will, if you like."
"Yes," she went on, gazing up into
his face, and her lips were very close
to his, "when one Is truly and wholly
happy, George, dear, there Is but little
to divide a smile and a tear."
"Well, that's a fact," assented
George dear. "But I never thought of
It before. After all, there's nothing
but the nose,"—London Answers.
Cause of Fatty Heart.
I The great danger from obesity lies
In the liability of the fat to Invade the
j cetlnlar elements of the body, especlal
-1 ly the muscles. This produces fatty
! degeneration of the muscular tissues,
which greatly weakens aud impairs
their functional activity. When the
fat invades the tissues of the heart
muscles the disease known as "fatty
degeneration of the heart" results, and
the patient is In serious danger. VVhen
i ever a slight additional strain upon the
I circulation results from undue exer
' else, excitement or other cause the
muscles interfere with the heart's ac
tion, ami it is liable to cease beating.
' Anaemia an«l hysteria often are accom
| paniments of obesity. Because of the
I increased weight and difficulty of
| moving about such patients are pre
vented from taking a:i ordinary
J amount of exercise. Often, too, there |
j are a lassitude and a positive dislike i
[ for muscular exertion of any kind.-

The earlier part of Yi<t<uien Sar

| trials and difficulties. His parents
j wished him to take tip a medical ca

some zeal. The love of the drama,
however, was far greater than the
love of the pill box, and in the inter
val of the other work Sardou was
, busy upon a play. Life was a strug
gle for him. for he bad little money,
though he managed to get journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
income. His first play was a failure,
! aud Sardou rushed front I lie theater
i vowing never to enter one again. He

from that time his fortune was made.
