Ho was n daisy clerk In a dry goods store
with a commercial smile and n ntunnliit
four-lii-haml tie that made him look kill
lug, and he was In his most elevated mood
when a customer opened tlio day with a re
quest for fans.
He looked her over. "Cheap," ho wild to
himself as hu noted the Hhawl and hood.
Then he reached Into the showcase and
grabbed a lot of shop worn .Japanese fans
and spread them on the counter.
"I was looking forsomethlng a little bet
ter," said the woman in a mild, deprecat
Ing voice. I want"
"I know what you want," Interrupted
the fresh young man, anil taking down a
box he dNclocd it job lot of soiled silk fans
with 11 feather lgn. "These have been
reduced from one dollar to fifty cents to
closo out stock. Which color do you Ilk?
best, pink or bluof They're n great bar

"Voting man," said the woman In the
hood solemnly, "shake hands! I thought 1
knew what I wanted, but I see I don't
I'm real glad to Hud some one who know.i
what I want Ix'ttcr than I do myself. Pick
me out the kind of fan you think I need
and I'll pay for It. You've taken n heap
of responsibility off my shoulders."
There was a limp and crestfallen young
man behind that counter about that time,
and ho looked so dejected that tho good
woman took pity on him and selected a fan
to suit herself a process that deepened tho
chagrin of the knnwlt-all clerk, for she
bought tho finest fan he had, saying it was
for her daughter's wedding. Hut she
couldn't help showing that she enjoyed his
discomfiture. Detroit Free Press.

How to 8rlrct Kyrglnsies.
Undoubtedly every ono who is forced
by defective sight tothuusoof oyeglniwos
or s'leutacleii ought to consult n coni'K
tent oculist as to tlio Holection of tho
pro'icr number for liltn to use. It Is n
fact, however, that many thousands of
people to whom glasses itro a boon mid
oven a necessity nro unablo to do this.
There may bo uo oculist in their noigh
borhood, or they limy not feel ablo to af
ford tho fee for an examination. There
fore they chooso forthoinselveH, or under
tlio advico of a peddler who is too often
ignorant nr.d careless of tlio harm ho
may do. A glass may and often docs
help tho y.' for it minute, or oven for
eomo hours, ami then strain and tiro tho
delicate optlo nerves. In such a case it Is
not tho right number and should not
bo used under any circumstances. Tho
temptation to mo too strong a glass is
especially strong with nearsighted iier
sous. A glass that diminishes tho an
parent size of tho object looked nt is too
strong. Tho ono to select is tho one I
which noither uiagiiilles nor diminishes,
but which simply brings out thu outlines ,
morq clearly. Thosamo rule holds good '
in cases of presbyopia, A glass which i
magnilies to tho perception is too strong. I
Use ono Hint makes tho object distinct ,
in outline. Tho only safo way is to ills- j
card any glass that tires tho oyo. If too
strong a glass is worn, not only is tho '
ncrvo weakened, but tho nlfvctlou, i
whether it bo presbyopia or myopia, will
bo dovelopcd by tho uso of tho glass it '
self.

How to Curo Hlni-ivot in.
To ono part of sulphuric acid add
twenty parts of water. Uso a camel's
hair brush or a feather and apply tho so
lution to tho parts every night and mora-1
ing. A few dressings will genoially
curo. If tho solution is too strong dilute
with water. If irritation is excessivo
rub on oil or vaseline, but always avoid
soap.
How to Miiko u Sure Cure for Toothache.
A mixture of two parts of ordinary
liquid ammonia with ono of tincture of
benjamin is a sure curo for toothache. I
Saturato it piece of cotton with tho mix
ture, introduce it into tho carious tooth,
tho nervowill bo immediately cauterized
and tho pain will stop. It is a very in-,
expensivo remedy.
How to Neutralize Had llrentll.
Uso n tooth powder mado of cream of
tartar and prepared chalk, each half an
ounce; myrrh and powdered charcoal,
each two drains; powdered orris root,
ono half dram; powdered Peruvian bark,
two drams. Mix well together. It is
also a good plan to rub tho gums occa
sionally with salt. This destroys tho
animalcuho which usually cause tho do
cay and ncliing of tho teeth. When bad
breath is caused by a disordered condi
tion of thu stomach, simple laxatives
will afford tho desired relief.
How to Give u C'rnxy .Supper.
As this will bo done by a church or so
ciety to mako money, everything will bo
donated, therefore give peoplo their
money's worth. Tho popular price is
twonty-Hvo cents for supper, but don't
mako peoplo pay a tlimo for tho privilege
of getting inside to buy their supper. Bet
ter add the dimo to the quarter as tho
price of supper. The bill of faro may
include cold ham and tongue, all kinds
of bread, Hostou baked beans, sauco of
Bomo kind, cake and tea and coffee. Tlio
"crazy" character of the supper is not
shown in tho kind of food, but tho mode
of serving it. When tho tables nro set
tlioy should present a somewhat gro-ten-no
appearance, thu cloths being laid
crookedly. Tho plates, knives and forks
nro nece.isitiea; also Jap.ineso napkins,
which may bo folded in odd shapes.
Bread ami biscuit are put on nap
kins in now dustpans, whoso hati
dies aro ornamented with ribbon.
Butter can bo berved in balls put
in tumbluM or jam pots lined with
paper whoso fancy cut edge projects at
tho top. The cold meats nro put in white
pio plates and tho beans in pieserve
dishes of glass or china, wlillo tho usual
contents of tho latter aro served from
soup tureen1- or largo vegetable dishes.
Water in cups and tea or coft'eo in
glacses form another laughablo mlxturo
of dishes which every ono takes good
tiaturedly because overy ono is out for a
good time and a toothsome meal.
Pickles, salt, pepper, vinegar and the
rest of thu condiments aro put in the
wrong holders. Tho vinegar may be
poured from a water bottle, tho salt in
mustard puts and to on. Tho pictures
on tho walls may also be hung aslant
and any other "crazy" changes possible
made in tho furniture or room appoint
ments. How to l,i-keii NiiUh In Workshop.
This may lie done by tho use of rubber
cushions under the legs of tho work
bench or of kegs of sand or sawdust im
plied in the same way. A few inches of
sand or sawdust is first poured into each
keg'.oii this Is laid a board or block, upon
which tho leg rests, and around tho leg
or block is poured fine dry sand or saw
dust. An ordinary anvil mounted in
this way may bo used in a dwellim
without annoying tho inmates.
The CnOi HUroiiliI mi lloita,
A stout old man In a gray ulster hailed n
Fourth iivuiiuu ear at Worth stieet tho
tit her day. One hand was occupied with a
rather Impel iiou-t bulldog on a chain and
the other waved a baggy umbrella. When
thocar stopped Hut man hauled the bull,
dug up to the rear platform and said to tho
conductor!
"Taku a dorg on your carf"
"No."
"Me and John William has got to get
up town."
"Can't help It, walklu's good."
"Let me ride tut the platform nnd hitch
John William to the hrakor"
The conductor agreed to this, and John
William trotted placidly along up tlio
Bowery without mishap, beyond upsetting
two newsboys. Somehow nobody wanted
togetoir the car on John William's side,
Hiitl people on the crossings waiting fuv
the ear to pass kindly gavu John William
nil tho room he wanted. At .Seventeenth

hairbreadth ccapo of the rear platform
which a erosstown driver loves to make,
reckoned without John William, who win

"Hey, hey, hold oul" called the old man
on thu platform excitedly. Hut It was too
late; there wasn't room between thu cross
town horse and the platform of tho Fourth
nvenue car for even the alert John Wil
liam to pass, nnd It Nccmcd as If thu dog

liam, however, regarded It otherwise. He
neemed to know that his only chance lay
in breaking Ids chain. So by a quick
IhiiiikI to the farthest side of tho cross
town horse he brought thu wholu strain
upon thu chain across tho horso'schest, and
snapping his bunds like a string hu trotted
calmly up Ftairth avenue after ills master.
"Well, now, ain't ho a dog," ejaculated
the conductor admiringly.
"There ain't his beat In Now York," r
siKindcd Ids owner proudly. "Of courso
liieie's other dogs hero and there," ho
added as a great concession, "but theyslni
ply ain't in It with John William. I
wouldn't take soveuty-llvo dollars cash for
that dog."
"Reckon he's worth It," said tho con
doctor.
There was another man on thu platform,
He looked John William over critically In
silence, and two blocks farther on he said:
"I'll give you ten dollars for your dog."

(lot tho llest of tho .lodge,
A lawyer was relating soiuu of his most
itmusliig experiences recently In thu Boston
courts.
Hu told of a case that had como up,
where a prominent lawyer, a man of pro
nounced Ideas, witty, quick, yet altogether
cranky, had a hard time trying to defend
his client.
All day this case was considered. Tho
Judge was Iriitable and the lawyer wmi
stubborn. Point after point was dilated
Upon nt length. No sooner would tho
lawyer gain ground than the judge would
taku exception by some legal technicality.
Then the lawyer grew sarcastic. Ifo
was losing his patience. Tho judge re
buked him In a manner that was nut too
delicate.
Thu lawyer turned upon him and burs';
out with, "I always thought' your honor
was h gentleman."
"What's tluit r" asked thu angered Judgo,
"I always thought your honor was u gen
tleman," repeated the legal man.
The judge could not contain himself
now. Scornfully he lashed the lawyer with
his quick Uingtip. When he finished, tho
lawyer said, "I always thought your lionov
was a gentleman" then, hesitating "and
I think so now."
Nothing was heard for a few seconds but
thu silent muttc rings of the judge; then
the crier called out, "The court will como
to order," for the witnesses were convulsed
with laughter. Boston Herald.
