If women only knew how much more grnecful and the only way Is to appeal to their vnnlty they would be reclining nn the floor, they would never sit tip on chiilr or round p table. Thnt this I funda mentally true I proved by thn fnct thnt they nre never so happy a nt n picnic, where there nre no chair nnd tables. I really believe thnt thn rrnxe for putting everything on something above the floor-by which I inriin ta ble, sldclsMirds, etc. grew from tho custom of sleeping In ugly, cumber some nnd dirt collecting bed Instead of on the floor. Of course the reason why women do not sleep on the floor I be en use they nre nfrnld of beetle nnd mien nnd other harmless things. Wom en, therefore, having Invented thn bed, Invented the (able In aland by It, nnd thus spread the habit of putting every thing above the level of the flisir. Woman's original sin of being nfrnld of black beetle nnd mice cost man more than all tho royalty, nrmles, na vies, pension lists, prisons, poverty, schooling, national debts nnd wnrs of Europe. I nm sure I mil not putting It too high when I any thnt the nvernge cost of fur niture per house Is $1,MH, and If the world would only agree not to cumber It rooms Willi Ited nnd table, side boards, cabinet nnd chairs our ground rents would be about half wiint they nre, nnd the overcrowding of our cities would conio down proportionately. "Domestic Blunders of Women." The Conductor's Honeat Ilnkeoff.

"There nre moro ways of making money than by 'knock ing down' fares," tie remarked, noting the Inquiring look on n passenger's face. "Any greenhorn can pocket n dozen nickels In collecting l'JO fare In n enr built for forty-eight passengers, but n man has got to know something to spot a coin that has a premium val ue. It's surprising how many more or less rare coins pass current without falling Into the hands of some one who knows their value. This was suggest ed to mo one day, nnd I took to study ing tho catalogue of dealers In rare coin and memorizing the dates of those that arc worth inure than the prices stumped on them. Since then I hnve picked out of tho money I hnve taken tn fares several hundred coins with a premium value ranging from a few cent to $."i nnd hnve redeemed them with my own money nnd sold them to dealers In coins."

A gentleman and his wife, who were offended nt something the preacher snld, gravely rose nnd stalked townrd tlie door, with their bend held high In assertive disdain. The wife followed the husband. Unfortunately when they were half wny down the nlsle the busbnnd drop ped his glove and stooped to pick It tip.

Thn busbnnd pulled it open with nn Impressive swing. Before ho could close It out tumbled tlie window pole, a long duster and a steplmlder. The congregation could hold it mirth no longer, aud man and wife fled to tlie real exit In undignified haste amid a general and pervnslve snicker. Jackson's Slatne nn the Constitution.

Worst of all, is that feeling of languor, of Inability to act, of weariness at trifling exertion. Nothing will make the old young again, but Vlnol will prevent 99 out of 100 old people from feeling so old. There Is no humbug about It. We found out about Vlnol, and tried it every way before we decided to put it on the market and guarantee It. . Now we believe that almost any tired, discouraged old person who will take a bottle of Vinol and use it as directed will feel better right away. It will increase their strength, relieve their lameness and brighten their spirits. It does this by nourishing. Don't blame the old folks for being blue and cross. Take home a bottle of Vinol. H.
