r MISSED THE PARTY.
IVby One Girl Und to Keep Secluded
For Over n Week,
They were two pretty girls, and when
feiey happened to meet on ono of the
julet streets of the city the girl In
prny turned nnd walked In the direc
tion tho other 0110 had taken.
'Now, let mo know nil about the pnr
ty," said tho ono who had turned. "I've
been JiiBt dying to see you and linvo
fox tell me."
"Oh, but 1 wasn't there at qll," said
her companion. "This Is tho Qrst time
I've been out of tho he -so for moro
limn n week."
"Why, have you been 111?"' her friend
Inquired, surprised and solicitous.
"No, I really think It was worso than
that," she replied,
"You know I'm a little proud of my
hair, for It's my ono redeeming point"
modestly "and because It 1b naturally
wavy It is alwayB llulllest after It hao
been shampooed.
"A day or two beforo tho party I
washed my hair, using what I thought
was borax In the water. When I at
tempted to dry my crstwhllo 'bonnlo
brown curls they wero stringy and
hard and looked ob If they had been
frozen In wisps. Then to my horror I
discovered that I had used powdered
nlum In tho water. It took mo a wholo
Week to get It out of my hair. I miss
ed the party I had set my heart upon
attending and wouldn't let any of my
friends see me, for I wob a perfect
fright!" Duluth News-Tribune.

The Bins of the tonguo all point to
tho necessity and profit of self mastery.
Thcro Is danger In tho tonguo that
often brings tho deepest Borrow to in
noccnt ones, as well as throws a re
flection on a puro character. If this
confession of failure and magnifying

gerated, let any ono Bit down qulotly
and think of tho sins and cruelties of
human speech. Tho careless words
which no repentanco can call back

cost us so much to fulfill, tho expres

Bhamcd tho higher, the confessions of

condemn these aro somo of tho perils

A Rejected Novel.
Beforo ho had achieved fame tho
French novelist Xavlcr do Montcpln,
on concluding a long nnd elaborate
talo of adventuro took it, full of hope,
to a publisher, who promptly declined
it on even tho most advantageous
terms, to tho writer's poignant morti
fication. Twenty years afterward this
identical publisher besought nt his
hands a sensational story, ono of thoso
serials which wero tho delight of grl
settcs, offerlug any price within rea
Bon; "Well," said Do Montepln, "I
will oblige you, but my terms must bo
somewhat heavy. I want 4,000." Aft
er many protests it was paid.
In telling tho story De Montepln
used to add, "Tho best of tho business
was that it was tho very same story
which ho had previously rejected and
which I had in various' directions en
deavored in vain to dispose of."
A Carious Tree.
There is a peculiar treo in tho forests
of central India which bus most curi
ous characteristics. Tho leaves of tho
treo are of a highly sensitive nature
and bo full of electricity that whoever
touches ono of them receives an elec
tric shock. It has a very singular ef
fect upon a magnetic nccdlo and will
inliueuco It at n distance of even seven
ty feet The electrical strength of the
trees varies according to the tlmo of
day, it being strongest at midday and
weakest at midnight In wet weather
its powers disappear altogether. Birds
never approach the tree, nor have in
sects ever been seen upon it

A "Lot" of Land.
A Ilartford lawyer is of the opinion
that tho term "lot" as applied to a par
cel of land Is nn American product not
derived from any other uses of tho
word. Ho sayB: "I havo been reading
up somo of tho old histories of my
state, of Long Island and other colo
nial sections recently, and I And that
tho term 'a lot of land' was originated
in the colonics; that it is today consid
ered nn Americanism and stands apart
from other uses of tho word. It origi
nated from tho custom of dividing
grants for townships, etc., into parcels
of land and then numbering each par
cel, putting tho numbers into a hat or
whatever was used and then having
them drawn out by thoso who wero to
occupy tho land. Each man took tho
parcel corresponding to his number, so
bis land camo by lot literally, and
benco tho use of tho term. This, I pre
sume, Is ancient history, but perhaps
ancient enough to havo been forgotten
by most real cstato dealers and other
peoplo who deal in land and not language."

"Who tho blank aro you?" furiously

Morbid Sensitiveness.
The surest way to conquer morbid
sensitiveness is to mingle with peoplo
as freely as possible and, while ap
praising your own ability and Intelli
gence at least as Impartially as yon
would thoso of a friend or acquaint
ance, to forget yourself. Unless you
can become unconscious of self you
will uovcr cither appear nt your best
or do tho best of which you aro capa
ble, says a writer in Success. It re
quires will power and an unbending
determination to conquer this arch
enemy to success, but whnt has been
done can be done, and many who were
held down by it for years havo by their
own efforts outgrown it and risen to
commanding positions.
