Mermpetikof tlie "Rood old day" as thoiiRh it were really tmo that tba world has degenerated. Now It may be true that our ancestors were bettor IT than we, but If to It was only because of difference In taste. Not Indeed Hint we have all they hail and mora too, for we have not. It is a maxim of cer tain scholars that what a man Is, he Is, and cannot be more or less. If in one point we Rain, we,;lose In another. If we build houses to llvo In, wo lose the hardiness of outdoor life, nnd so ll all things. Nevertheless, few would care to ko back to the "pood old days" when men lived in willow houses nnd slept on straw beds, with never a chimney to let the smolce out, nor a window to let tho light in; with naught but a (food round log for a pillow and seldom a sheet to keep the straw from razlnjf their hard ened hides. This is a true picture of one period of English life. Yet wore they satisfied, for "their heads did nev er ache," remarks the historian, "be cause that the smoke was a good medicine," and though their houses were poor and frail and surroundings uncomfortablo, this but hardened them and gave them keener relish for their few luxuries.

A nlbbler Is man who enters a gro cery store, runs his finger into the sugar barrel and laps up a couple of ounces, eats a handful of nuts, then goes over ' to the cheese case and cuts off a slice for a taste, then as a matter of fact must have a few crackers; and perhaps before he has made up his mind to pur chase a quarter of a pound of tea has eaten the profits of two dollars' worth of groceries. To wind It all up, after getting trusted for tea, on which the merchant realizes a profit of five cents, he leaves the store munching a 'couple of apples. This is no picture of Imagin ation but a reality, except that some times the nibbler does not purchase the tea. Ex. Visit Mllllrens for the latest creation In neckwear.
