Man Must Be Successful, With $7,000 Income and Good Prospects Must Not Get Drunk In Public. "What sort of a man would I marry? Well, In the first place he'd have to be successful. Not terribly rich, though, because I have money of my own. Say five thousand a year.' and good prospects. Don't care how ha makes It, but he must be a good spender and have plenty of small talk. Dress? Why, of course, the men In our set have to dress well or the girls wouldn't look at them. As for his principles and so on. I'm not awfully straight-laced, you know. What I absolutely Insist on Is that,he does not get drunk In public." The speaker, Miss Winnie M., says Robert Haven Shauffler, tn Success Magazine, was a popular member of the Smart Set In the largo Northeast ern city which she called home. She was tall, slender, animated, with a charming figure, light, curly hair and extraordinary flashing blue eyes. She was the only child of a millionaire and barely twenty-three. "Of course I'd like him older," she continued. "About fifteen years older would do. The elderly ones can give a girl a better position, and I wouldn't mind if he were a widower either grass or sod. I know lots and lots of divorced people. And of course, If I didn't hit It off with my husband I'd not be long nbout getting a divorco. "Would I prefer remaining single to marrying a man I didn't love?" The great eyes opened in naive astonish ment. "Why don't you know that aft er a few years, if a girl doesn't marry, she simply has no position? Love's all very nice, of course, but It Isn't really necessary for marriage. . . ." 'Children! Oh, yes. I'd want one or two, but, no more. . . . Hered ity? Now what does that word mean anyway?" The average Income demanded by the Smart Set girl, on which to start married life, is $7,000 a year and ex cellent prospects. Besides that, as a rule she expects to have money of her own. "I simply couldn't be hap py," declares a spoiled child of fortune In the middle west, "without certain luxuries such as opera seats, trained servants to care for me, and beautiful surroundings. I simply couldn't ride In the trolley cars. It may seem snob bish, but it's a fact. I hate crowds, and one cannot have privacy without money." Whm to Buy Books. . "Wlien Is the best time of the year to buy books?" was the question asked of the man who presides over a second-hand book stall by a regular cua tomer. "Well, replied the seller, "the best time of the year to buy and the time of the greatest opportunity tc pick up bargains is right now. Why? Well, strange as It may seem, there are a lot of folks In this big city who sell their books in the summer time to get the money for a trip out of town, a week's vacation, and some times because their business stag nates with the coming of hot weather and they need the money.' Most of them are the kind of people who never Ihink of the pawnshops. That's a sort of disgrace with them. But they have books that they have read and have no further use for. They get to pick ing out a lot of them and bringing them to me. It's cash for them, and as for me, my stock is always best and there is the choicest picking about this season." International Peace No Dream. It Is a testimonial to the vitality of the peace idea that It should appear with undiminished vigor after every disappointment and every setback. Where ten years ago a solltaary and strangely Incongruous voice for dis armament spoke up in the czar's pal ace, today tho limitation of armaments is a subject of thought and discussion In every chancellery of Europe. It is In the permanency and universality of the Interest which now attaches to the subject of international peace that we find the clearest indication of Its strength. It no longer manifests it self in Isolated cftngresses, dealing ppeclfically with peace. It breaks out In sovereigns' meetings, ministerial conferences, scientific congresses, labor congresses,' nnd Socialist con gresses? If International peace Is In deed a dream, it is being dreamt so persistently and so widely as to take on for practical purposes the aspect of reality. New York Post. , The Fisherman's Test. "How do you know," this man asked of the man hauling on- the seine, "whether the fishes you catch are up to the limit fixed by the law? Have to put a tare line on some of them?" "Well, no," said the fisherman, "we don't exactly have to go to that trou ble. We have an easier way of meas-! wing them than that. j "Every fisherman has sawed In the i Feat of the boat little notches of the right distance apart to indicate the lawful length at which fish may be taken, and when he takes out of the net a fish that doesn't look much too long he lays Its nose against one of these notches and its tall against the j other. "If it touches the notches, why, Into tlis basknt goes the fish; but If It doesn't, why, then the fish goes over board."

Official announcement of the Seventh International Congress on Tuberculo sis, which will include representatives from every civilized country in the world, has been made by the National Association for the Study and Preven tion of i'uberculosls. The congress will be held In Rome from September 24 to 30, 1911, and will be similar In many respects to that held in Wash ington in the fall of 1908. The con gress, which meets every three years, will be under the direct patronage of the king and queen of Italy. An American committee of 100 will be appointed as tho official represen tatives of tho United States. Mean while the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis Is acting In that capacity and its office In New York will be the headquarters for the United States delegation. The secretary general of the congress Is Prof. Vlttorlo Ascoli of Rome. As a direct result of the stimulus of the last international congress held in this country, the American committee will be able to report that the number of tuberculosis agencies In this coun try have been tripled In the three j;ears. More than twice as much money is being spent in the fight against tuberculosis by private socle ties and Institutions, and the appropri ations of federal, state, municipal and county have Increased nearly four fould. It is estimated that nearly $15, 000,000 will be spent in 'anti-tuberculosis work in 1910. Someone Might Get Hurt., Pietro had drifted to Florida and was working with a gang at railroad construction. lie had been told to beware of rattlesnakes, but' assured that tbey would always give the warning rattle before striking. One hot day he was eating his noon luncheon on a pine log when he saw a big rattler coiled a few feet in front of him. He eyed the serpent and be gan to lift his legs over the log. He had barely got them out of the way when the snake's fangs bit the bark beneath him. "Son of a guna!" yelled Pietro. "Why you no rlnga da bell?" Every body's Magazine. Uncle Allen.

Buttle Creek, Mich. HOME OF ANDRE AT BATH Historical Personage's House It Still . Standing, and Oddly Enough It Is No. 23. Path, England, Is a city of ancient mansions, so Major Andre's house Is still standing In the Circus, which consists of three blocks, In which every house has at some time been occupied by some historical person age. Oddly enough Andre's house la No. 23. It Is exactly like nil the oth er houses In the' Circus, where every building is the exact duplicate of the other, red brick, with weather-stained white cornices, dilapidated witidow boxes filled with sickly geraniums that rarely show a blossom, and the Inev itable ivy trained over the front. An air of profound melancholy and mity gentility broods over these crumbling mansions, each one of which can tell a tragic story of fallen greatness. They are tenanted by people In a state of decayed gentility, mostly re-' tired army and navy oftlcers, or their widows, with a sprinkling of profes sors,. doctors and music teachers. At the end of the Circus and facing up the street Is the house occupied by Napoleon III.' through part of his exile. The interior is partly burned out and full of rates. Louis XVIII. resided near. In a house afterward the abode of Lady Hamilton, and sold to be haunted by her ghost. Nelson and Charles X. ot France also lived In the Circus. Just at the gates of Lord Dudley's pnrk, near bjj, is another haunted house. It was owned by the first earl's brother, a fighting, drinking, swashbuckling guardsman, who when In his cups and hard up for money to pay his gambling debts, sold his beautiful young wife to tho earl. The1 house is a fine old red brick structure veiled in ivy. The guardsman's unholy revels are said to be repeated there nightly, and carriages are heard rolling In and out of the- weedy old garden until the "wee sma' hours." Andre's house nlso is reputed to be haunted, not by the Uritish officer, but by a veiled woman in .white, 'who walks the halls at midnight wringing her hands. St. Chad's Well Rediscovered. Another interesting link with the post Is brought (o light by the recent discovery of the exnet spot where lies St. Chad's Well, once a famous Chaly beate spring n King's Cross. In the eighteenth century people came here to drink the waters, which were sup posed to be especially useful In cases of dropsy, scrofula and liver com plaints. Gradually, like all fashion able spas, St. Chad's was deserted and residential houses, then ware houses, were erected on the site of the well. A few days ago the builders In lar lng the foundations for a new struc ture In Gray's Inn road discovered an arch some 20 feet underground, and this has been Identified as forming part of the old well. From the arch to a spot 30 yards away stretched the waters once famous for their medi cinal properties. It haB been ascer tained that the spring still exists, and It would be decidedly worth while to have the water analyzed and , find whether It still retains Its pristine virtues. London Dally News. Stooped Rattlers' Battle. H. E. Jones was walking through Carlisle Cove, about six miles south east of the city, when his attention was attracted by the peculiar rattle which it is said one never mistakes for anything but the muBic of the rat tler, event though one may sometimes mistake the song of the dryfly nnd other sounds for the rattle of a snake. He looked It may be said that he lost no time in looking and there, very close to the path, were two large rattlesnakes, with bends and tails raised, evidently angry with each oth er and only waiting until they finished their defiant war songs to engage in deadly conflict. Mr. Jones did not wait for this con flict to take place. lie unmercifully slew them. One was a black rattler with 17 rattles, showing htm to be 17 years old. The other was yellow and had 13 rattles. Then Mr. Jones skin ned them and took off the rattles. Ashevllle Citizen. . Where Abraham Fished. Mrs. Victoria de Dunsen In "The Soul of a Turk" relates a legend con cerning Abraham which will be new to many readers. She learned of It while at Edessa, the traditional Ur of the Cbaldees. She was shown there a large oblong tank of water so filled with fishes resting just below the sur face of the water that their fins and backs seemed almost wedged together so as to form "an almost solid layer of silvery life." "The guardian of the mosque throws some meal Into the water and the fish jump, high to catch It, a great living pyramid, of which those who jump the highest form the pinnacle. The tradi tion is that Abraham, as a child, fish ed in the tank. Hence the fish were considered sacred. No single one has even been caught or killed to this day. Indeed, death would overtake the man who transgressed this law." A Nickel. Turn which way one will, the five cent piece bobs up at every turn as the most necessary coin of the realm. Its discontinuance would inevitably Increase the cost of a thousand things of every-day life, which no dealer now has the daring to change because of riveted custom. Thcra is no likeli hood that the government will soon consider the elimination of this coin, as such action would result In a bowl of disapproval, nation-wide. IN THE SAME BOAT. i I ' 1 II y ,1 . .
