Nearly every man has enough vests and hair brushes. No one will appreciate your joke as much as you will. A small boy isn't generally consid ered cute unless he is mean. Did you ever know of a bore who was told that he was a bore? When your feet are tired, you are pretty apt to be tired all over. And sometimes a son thinks he knows just because his father knows. The only way some men can attract attention is by getting a tiueer hair cut. Considering the way he lives, a tramp pays a pretty high price for leisure. •lust because you don't see it the first time you leek, is no reason ii isn't in the paper. A woman's idea of a great triumph for her sex is ‘when an old bachelor gets married. A comfortable shoe never looks as proud as it should over such an accomplishment. This country needs better spellers 1 good deal more than it needs more amateur piano players. It is every married man's opinion that the hair receiver doesn’t attend to business as it should. It may help you to be agreeable when you remember how well the clairvoyants make it pay. It doesn’t take a mechanical genius to make an instrument of torture out of a musical instrument. A man who has had several wives usually gets along all right while be ing cross examined in court. Although a good many people keep cats, the sale of mechanical mouse traps is constantly increasing. When a man commences to say he wouldn’t have an automobile as a gift lie is almost ready to buy one. You may have observed that the man who says the truth hurts no one, is apt to lie about other things. Woman's idea of self control is to 1," able to receive a telegram with out throwing a fit before opening it. Men are like steamship .companies in favoring five meals a day until their stomach hit the toboggan. It takes a man almost as long to properly color a ineerchaum pipe as it does to improperly color his nose. If you expect your garden to come up to seed catalogue advance notices, you have entirely too much hope. If a man is very sick, you can't comfort him by telling how bad he looks, but if he is just “grunting,” you can. The Lancaster Literary society will soon take up this question: Which is the worst: foolish talk or silly clothes?

DIAZ SEEMS IN GOOD HEALTH This is the First Time in the Nation's History That a Ministry Has Been Pledged to Reform. Mexico City, Mar. 2!1.—In the roy ally ornate hall of Ambassadors in the National Palace, members of the new cabinet were sworn in at noon An aisle way was formed by a double row of high military officers in gorge ous cermonial uniforms. At one end stood President Diaz and a subseere tary. The latter administered the oath of office. Escorted by two generals each minister was ushered into the furthei end of the military peristyle areway and advancing, bowed formally three times, the last Genu Ruction bringing hirn face to face with the battleshit prowlike countenance of the presl dent. At the conclusion of the oath the ministers would say: ‘‘I protest that 1 will do my duty” and the president replied to each, "If you do the people will approve; if you do not, the people will oondemn.” The President Vigorous. Gen. Diaz, looking not over 60, spoke in a firm, distinct voice and gazed fixedly, with impassive face at eacn minister. Immediately after tho ceremony the ministers went to their respective offices and began their duties. A noticeable incident was tho pres ence of the Americans and not a word or look conveyed any resent ment or hostility. Extreme polite ness was evident. The president's face was entirely free from any wrinkle of anxiety and appeared ex actly as potently serene as when seen a year ago. Physically ho looked his ability tel put any three men in the room over his shoulder. People Not Excited. There was no sign of excitement among the people. All who could gain admittance to the hall, crowded in and several hundred stood quietly iu front of the palace during the ceremony. This is the first time in Mexico’s history of the induction of a cabinet pledged to radical reforms demanded by both the peaceful citizens and a large number of revolters. Senor Limantour was present but was not sworn as his resignation had not been accepted. When he entered the hall there was a rubbering and whispering showing his possession ol the center of the stage. Limantour has become notable in the American fashion and shops advertiso Liman tour cigars,Limantour collars, Liman tour shirts and Limantour more inti mate and bashful garments. It is evident that in his cameo-like head he earriees either the renassance or the ruin of Mexico. Corroboration of Cen. Diaz’s inten tion to quit as soon as he can do so without appearing to act under com pulsion was received from a friend who quotes the president as saying to him that as soon as the reform program is instituted and the objec tionable governors changed, he will resign ana go to luuropo. Evidences of tho administrations good faith In the promised changes is found of tho assured truth in tho rumor that Gov. Ladi of this province will soon resign and he suc ceeded by Gen. Fernandes. Tho lat ter is a pronounced adherent of G«u. Keyos, which shows to what extremes tho government is ready to go to sat Isfy public opinion. Vice-President Corral is to sail for Europe on April 12. Paris will soon bo a center of Mexican dignatarles. Tho situation is stlil very promis ing and the volcana wo are sitting on keeps quite respectably quiet though it grunts once In a while.

St. Petersburg, Mar. 25.—Russia is on tlio point of addressing to China an ultimatum fixing a dale for entire satisfaction of her demands. The Chinese’s replica to Russia's suocnsslvo notes dealing with tho de mands, of Russia in Mongolia have been described by tho Chinese govern ment as conciliatory, but tho text In each caso has been unsatisfactory to Russia, because it has evaded (he points at Issue. The last Chinese note received by the Russian government consents to tho estubHshmeut of a dousuiate at Kobdo. whereas Russia actually de manded Its location at Sharasumo, to which place tho Chinese transferred the administrative sent of tlie dis trlct. The Chinese reply also attempts to limit Russia’s rights in lrude to articles of foreign origin, whereas the treaty specifies that Russia's right ex tends to merchandise of any origin and coming from any country.
