,n -v P b an v ROLLING AN UMBRELLA. The Proper Way la to Tirlat Itlka and Stick Totfettier. "Why Is It," asked an Inquisitive cus tomer In a downtown umbrella store, 'that one can never roll up an umbrella &b compactly and neatly as It la rolled when he buys It V "You can If you only know how," said the salesman, "but If everybody knew hoV It would mean less business for us. The umbrellas would last lon ger, nnd thcro would be a lot less work for tbe repairers. "Perhaps I shouldn't tell yon how," the clerk continued, "but It's so simple you hhould know anyhow. It you have noticed, nearly everybody who rolls up nn umbrella takes nolu or It uy tuo handle and keeps twisting the stick with one hand while he folds nnd rolls with the other hnnd. "Now, that's Just where the mistake comes In. Instead of twisting with tho bundle he should take hold of It just above the points of tho cover ribs. These points naturally lie evenly around the stick. Keep hold of these, pressing them tightly against the stick, and then roll up tho cover. .Holding the ribs prevents them from getting twisted out of place or bending out of shape. Then the silk Is bound to fold evenly and roll smooth and tight. "ltoll your umbrella this wny, and until It Is old enough to get rusty look ing It will look as If it had just como from the shop."

Old Senator Nesmlth of Oregon, one of tho Ilrst settlers of the state, UBed to tell this story: At the time when Oregon wns admitted as a state and the first legislature of tho state met Nesmlth, who was n member, possess ed himself of a copy of a book on par liamentary procedure. This work, which was at the time probably tho only ono of Its sort west of tho Mis sissippi, he studied diligently and by the time of tho first session was well up in tho rules of debate. At the first meeting of the new leg islature a motion was Introduced and speedily carried, but on the second measure a dispute arose, and for three days the state legislators wrangled and debated. Finally, on the third day, Nesmlth, who had watched tho proceedings without oven opening his mouth, de cided it was time to uso u piece of his parliamentary procedure, so ho rose and moved the "previous question." There waB. n moment of silence fol lowing this motion, and then amid a shout of derision the speaker cried: "Sit down, you fool I We passed the previous question three days ago!"

Coffee Sc Dowd rRorKiETOHS or thb - Where EnRllnli Clubs Differ. A point which strikes American vis itors to London about our English clubs is the social aspect of them and the al most complete absence of the business side. At the Manhattan or the Knick erbocker, on the other hand, the busi ness side prevails. The majority of members do not drop in merely to read the papers, hear the latest story nnd play billiards, as over here. They go in most enses to meet a man about "a deal," to tall: over tho business of tbe day nud discuss the business of tho morrow or to read up tho finance of tho papers. The result is that wuen an American becomes a member of an English club he hardly ever uses It be cause its wuys do not appeal to him. He would sny that there was nothing going on. London Tatler.
