An emperor ruled him. and the i-mperor, whose iiauie wa Claud ius, been ni" very jeiiluu of St, Valentine, or Fr. Valentine, a he wa then called. And one day Chtiidiii cut Fr. Valentine's head olf, nnd baniHlied hi reiniin, no that nobody nhould know that he had been beheaded. "Now, why did Claudius do thl?" you nuk. Well, he did It because Fr. Valentine beanie so (fn-ut a favorite with young peoph; that t'liiuilius wan not in their af fect ions nt all.

Tbi 1 the opinion of the postofliee clerk, who seem to think that the mail-producing faculty of man I limited, and that what Christmas has gained must have been wubtnieted from St. Valentine. It Is more probible that the abuse of (he privilege of being silly .11 the day consecrated to that saint has evinted a re liction and made people nslin-u -d to join the throng of valentine more to .lish than fond.

The points 1 have mentioned, will) a lack of nervous af fect ions, a good ear, and the ability to strike tlie null's you want on the piano ,INO CLASS. me till that, are wanted except, of course, application It is an art thai, must be taken seriously. Whistling re sembles singing a good deal. Indirect ly the vocal cords make tlm sound, but there Is a different position of tlie mouth that modifies it. A whistle has timbre, finality and soprano and mezzo range, but the whistle of the two sexes la so much alike that it is impossible to detect the fine grades of difference between thorn. " The New Shoe. In reply to the question what Is tlie finest and smartest shoe of the season, a fashionable New York shoemaker snld: "It Is made of dongola skin, a species of (oat skin, and very well does this wear. It Is the boot which has taken the place of the French kid, and we have this dongola kid glazed, making It thus a little nioro dressy than the heavy walking boot now moro In demand than ever. We can not get our orders out for the calfskin boot, and tho favorite last Is tho very pointed toe." Are Stimulant, Not Foods ' Tea and coffee are not foods. Bays ai authority: "If this pair of moder fte stimulants were lost from off the 'ice of the earth to-day and forever If 1 i df A I.l:s'SON AT THE Wlllsri tlo-.v would riot take away an ounce ot physical prosperity.

Leave ns, please, these mild Indulgences. 1 t-' . . y. '.i '1 Sartorially speaking, it is dangerous to pour old wine into new bottles. Vet it is such a fascinating thing to do. It begins when economy lires the soul. "Here," ynll say, "is this brown bi'oa.l I'loih.

Checks in gray ami white nre also smart, particu larly so when arranged In bottino effect. get the thing dyed ami go straightway and purchase new fur for its trim ming. Vou get il "touched up" by an inexpensive dressmaker and you do part on a visit to another city with the old-new frock in your trunk and joy in your economic heart. One day you essay your refurbished gown and you lind that the thing has shrunken in tho dyeing, a ml now the skirt skates cheerily high above your boot, tops in front and drags dolorously in the back from tlie weight, of the fur and the lack of hair cloth. 'lit" sleeves are loo short, and the una sizes so small that yon sillier every minute you have the bodice on. The new fur is deplorably out of place nu the dyed cloth, and the seams show rusty, every one, while you have occu pation a plenty in picking, out the love ly inscriptions in white cotton which the dyers have placed thereon to indi cate that, you are Xty Mxz or some thing eiiually cheering and inspiring. So the gow n goes back to the trunk, or is cast into the limbo of the ragbag, and the Joy dies from your heart while you rolled upon old bottles nnd new wine and the fallacies of economy. Good Advice. Mother, when your child goes to a neighbor's house don't ask as soon as he comes home, "What wore Ciey do ing':" "How were they dressed V and "Was Miss Jennie's beau tliere"' Don't, I say. lo you know you are teaching, him a habit which will give him the unenviable reputation of a tnttle:1, mil perhaps a liar In the end? That is putting-It pretly strong, but If a child Is bright enough to look around, tuktr.g In all the details to be repented at home, Is he not bright enough to manu facture and repeat yarns to pleaso his mamma? The habit, once acquired, is hard to break. "How Old Are Your" "How old are you, my pretty maid?" I asked, when she was seven. She answered quick, while round her played Sweet smiles as bright ns heaven. "How old are you?" I asked again, When she was seventeen. My question still was not In rain To answer she was keen. ''flow old are yon?" once more I ask, Alas! 'twas once too often. It was a vain and useless task Her anger then to soften. Atlanta Journal.
