The Confirmed Commuter made no reply, though he realised that his wife's remark was the beginning of the end that It waa. In fact.

At the end of that time the Confirmed Commuter capitulated. "Why don't yot) go Into town with me tomorrow and buy It?" he asked. The light of victory flamed for a moment In his wife's eyes. "Why I'd Just love to go tomorrow!" she giggled delightedly, at the same time casting about In her mind for the hidden reason of hla amiable yielding. There waa a long, significant silence. "How much money do you want?" asked the Commuter finally. "But before you tell ma I want you to understand that 1 won't spend a cent more than $26 on dishes," he added quickly. "Will $25 be enough?" "Oh, I don't know, dear; It ahould have j some gold on It and gold la so expensive Slid" "Well!" repeated the Commuter, "how much will be enough but no matter what you think, 125 Is my limit." s There was another long, significant pause. Suddenly she smiled her moat Ingratiating smile. ."I do wish you would come with me," she said. "You have such wonderful taste In auch things, and I'm almost afraid to pick out anything without your advice." "Huh!" exclaimed the Commuter, gruffly. "I'm no china expert." "Yes you are!" she replied, flatteringly. "I've never known a man who had such Infallible Judgment aa to what Is really beautiful!" "You say that because I picked you out." observed the gratified Commuter, purring under the gentle stroking of flattery, "but I don't mind taking an earlier train and going with you.

Yes, I am dlBgusted with you, absolutely and thoroughly. I tell you, a lady's a lady whether she's upside down with her head stewing in an African hot-pot or right side up 'and bouncing in the billows. And, if you cannot manage to preserve your lady ship In a bathing suit, there Is something fundamentally wrong with your brand of ladyhood. No, I'm not a crank or a prude. I am Just a woman with sense enough to see that every time one of us sheda the In describable and lovely garment of reserve and delicacy we lop off a limb of our own life-tree. Men hate coarseness In a woman. And I frankly own that I esteem a consideration of what the best men like as a deep and worthy study for any woman. Just as I regard the ways and means of pleasing a good woman as splendid exercise for men. I don't know how to say It plainer than I have, but, at least, I can repeat It another way: You cannot beat the courtesan at her own game. She wins the poor, tawdry rewards, a coin as worthless as what she gives But you girls ean win by playing your own game, and the good cards are your refinement, your appeal to the best of man and your Inspiration to his ideals. and, consequently, his efforts for the worth while things.

In 1444 one man was burned alive, using as the fuel his adulterated saffron. To make the nonadulteration of saffron more effec tive, the following year two men and one woman were burned alive with their adul terated products.' Whether this was "mak ing the punishment fit the crime" may be questioned, but It oertalnly attained the desired object of preventing a eecond of fense by the parties Involved. In Augsburg offending bakers, short weight or Impure flour, were put Into a casket, hung on a long pols and ducked Into s muddy pool. No- special attempt was ade to have the mud especially soft, and the final result was generally fatal; at least no record shows that any baker was punished a second time. When la doubt as to the exact person guilty of the offense, the whole family. Including employee, were ducked. At Blerberich on the Rhine in 14S1 a sus pected falsifier of wine waa made to drink six quarts of his own wine, and as he died from the effects, the adulteration was con sidered proven.

The Hopeful Housewife dropped under the tacit assumption of their financial l.mltations, but the Commuter fairly bristled, and, withering the unfortunate salesman with a glance, he said, In frigid accents: "I want something that pleases me! Show your china, and when I see any thing that suits me you can tell me the price!" The salesman subsided, the Hopeful Housewife beamed. At the end of a quarter of an hour she, gating In hopeless rapture at an obviously expensive dinner set, was thus Interrupted by her lord: "You like that? Well, take It!

''But, dear" protested the aghast Housewife. "But what?" said the Commuter, aggres sively, as he wrote the check. "Isn't It good enough?

Abraham with his wife and Lot, his nephew, hsd returned from their sojourn In Egypt. "Abraham was very rich In cattle. In silver and gold." Lot also had large possessions in "flock and herds and tents." Their combined holdings were so large that it became difficult to obtain sufficient pasturage for their large number of cattle. Hence a very serious strife arose between the herdsmen of the two cattle kings. While Abraham had wonderfully fallen from grace during hie stay In Egypt, on his return to Canaan and to Bethel, "the place of the altar and he had" made In former years, and there he "called on the name of the Lord." Arising from his com munion with God, he said to Lot: "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between thy herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? Make your choice; If you will take the left hand I will take the right hand, or If you want the right hand I will go to the left hand." Lot looked over the beautiful Jordan valley, so rich and productive, "even like the garden of the Lord," and he quickly made hla choice. Just on the border of that fertile plain stood the demonlsed city of Sodom. Strange to say, Lot pitched his tent near by the city. He committed no sin In choos ing the rich, beautiful plain for his own; for Ood loves the beautiful as his works attest, and he has implanted the like In stinct in the souls of men. There is no sin In elegant mansions with splendid furnishings and fair gardens. So there Is no evil In desiring fertile fields Instead of barren rocks to cultivate. The well watered fields of the Jordan plains were upon to the choice of Lot as well as ths bleak Judean hills. Neither Is there sin in living near-by or in a great city. Lot bad a perfect right to pitch his tent in the suburbs of Sodom or to live In a man sion on the city's most beautiful avenue, If he so desired. No evil In that. But his sin was In his greed and selfishness. His wealth was the gift of Ood through ths splendid business ability of Abraham and the generous treatment Lot received at his hands.

He died on April 17, 1790. and during his eighty-four years of life he saw the growth of the American national spirit snd the formation of the Union, of which be was one of the moving spirits. He was the son of a chandler, and In his autobiography, which Is one of the great books of the world, he speaks of his early life In this way: "At 10 years of age I was called home to assist my father in his occupation, which was that of a soap boiler and tal low chandler a bualness to which he hsd served no apprenticeship, but which he embraced on his arrlcal In New England, because he found his own, that of a dyer, In too little request to enable him to main tain hla family. I was accordingly em ployed in cutting the wicks, filling the moulds, taking cars of the shop, carrying messages, etc" During the revolution he did much to enlist the sympathies of France In the struggling nation. Horace Greeley said of him: "When I contemplate the Immenee va riety and venaatillty of Franklin's ser vices to his country and to mankind when I think of him aa a writer whose first effusions commanded attention In his early boyhood as the monitor and sorraioMT, wit. a STAN FOR MASSet, THE '" rm--EL pTZV , I HOSPITAL fYES.HC-s tnZ) 'O- ATtCV' ! v violent V.Trf i-T Q ySfi&ZlZ STrh.

Besides you have the far greater right to the soil of Canaan. I will cheerfully abide your choice." It la not recorded that Lot sought the councils of the Lord. He put riches first. That was his supreme ambition. "He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be Innocent." "Peek ye first the Kingdom of Ood and his righteousness." How many there are like Lot, who seek the world first, not thinking to neglect God, but for the time being put Christianity in the "corners of their Uvea," forgetting that the "grain may sprout through the thorns," but the thorns are ever growing. It is possible to pay to dear a price for material prosperity. "What Is a man profited If he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"

"I mean the one who refused to treat to cigars when a little party of kind friends came around to serenade him and his bride as a slight token of esteem. "Just to show how hurt they felt at this breach of an honored custom, the gentle eerenaders broke into the house, threw the bridegroom out the door and down a flight of step?. "The customs of a free and enlightened nation like thle are not to be trifled with. I believe a little serenade of this sort Is usually known as a charivari, which is quite a fancy name and suggests rose leaves, confetti and tinkling mandolins and guitars. Personally, I prefer the western version, which is shivsree. It la much mora expressive and, I should say, far more truthful, because that's what It is a shivsree. "Ever attend one of those Joyous func tions? In some states they call 'am a aklmmelton, though why, I never found out. "After a shlvaree the happy bridegroom la supposed to be in ths proper mood to serve cigars and open wine and otherwise dispense lavish and grateful hospitality. The chief musical Instrument of torture 'in a shlvaree Is usually a horse fiddle, which is made out of a barrel and sounds like a combination of fog horn and saw mill. The muslo extracted from this pleasant device blends nicely with the tin pans and tin horns that accompany It and can easily be heard In the next town. A few watch men's rattles aervo to fill in the quieter moments and also enhance the volume of sweet sound when the orchestra reacher a crescendo. "If aeoompanied by the proper amount of howling and cat-calls kept up for an hour at least a serenade of this sort ought to be good for a box of cigars Of course, some critics have held that it really ought to be good for nothing short of Justifiable homicide, but then why be harsh? "They have more refined methods In the east, where they simply kidnap ths bride groom and playfully allow the bride to go on the wedding Journey alone. Or else they do as was done the other dsy, escort the bride and bridegroom to different steamboats. 'Such played out tricks as filling um brellas and eult easee full of rice have been discarded long ago as entirely too tame to suit so Joyous an occasion. Wed ding guests have got to get some fun out of It. haven't they? even If they have to throw the bridegroom out of the door. 'X predict, however, that If the gueats get much more fun out of It, weddlnga by aeroplane will be more popular than they are now.

Abrams, has recently be jn making a special study of the semi-miracluous restoration to life practiced by the Japanese, and while he doee not fully explain why the men come back to life after being to all intents dead, he does tell how It is done, snd this In Itself la interesting. In Jiu-jitsu, If a man is knocked out, beaten senseless, killed or otherwise mauled, and If a man has been killed by a sunstroke or by drowning, the reiitorer rolls the pariont on his face and extends his arms sldewlse. Then he strikes the patient on the seventh cervical veS tebra wtih hla wrist, severely and regu larly, until the patient recovers conscious ness. Immediately he Is placed In a sit ting posture, bis arms rotated and he Is aided In walking, for otherwise he re lapses into unconsciousness Immediately and In some cases dies at once. This system of pounding the seventh vertebra has been found peculiarly bene ficial In some acute heart diseases, and the effects of the treatment under Japa nese manipulation seetn almost miraculous at times. As yet there seems to be no elear medloal explanation of the effects of pounding the seventh vertebra, but the genuineness of the cures and resuscitations frequently described by travelers is now scientifically established by Prof. Abrams' Investigations.
