His Early Training at F.-—**.

The sympatby women who were visiting the jail were deeply impressed by the good, looking young man in one of the second tier of cells.

“You do not look likea guilty man,” said one of the boldest of them as she step- ped up to his cell, ‘but the guard tells me that you already have been convicted. To what, may I ask, do you attribute your— your—misfortune?”’

‘To my early training when a child,”’ he replied.

** Poor fellow !’’ she said sympathetically. “‘How much ignorant or careless parents have to answer for in this world! What particular fexture of your early training do you think had the effect of bringing you here?”’

** Learning tic write.’’

She was still wondering what ths poor fellow could 1mean, when the jailer sug- gested: ‘

‘*He’s up forforgery, you know.’’--Chi- cago Post.

THAT GLITTERS |

Many are taken ‘n now~a- days, and are paying from ten to twenty dollars for a watch not worth five, by buying from pedlers and others who are not watch- makers.

Do not be Deceived.

But when you want a reliable watch buy only of one who understands the trade and asks only a fair price for a good article.

A Pirate In Bad Luck.

Mr. Frank R. Stockton, writing of ‘‘The Buccaneers of Our Coasit’’ in St. Nicholas, says of the celebrated Bartholeimy Vortu- guez: In the way of well defined and conspicuous ups and downs few lives have eurpassed that of Barthelemy. He had many adventures after the desperate affair in the bay of Campeachy, but they must all have turned out badly for him, and consequently very fortunately for divers aud sundry Spanish vessels, and during the rest of his life he bore the reputation of an unfortunate pirate. He was one of those men whose success seemed to have depended entirely upon bis own exertions. If there happened to be the least chance of bis doing anything, he generally did it. Spanish cannon, well armed Spanish crews, manacles, imprisonment, the dan- gers of the ocean to a man who could not swim, bloodhounds, alligators, wild beasts, awful forests impenetrable to common men —all were bravely met and triumphed over by Bartholemy. Yet when it came to ordinary good fortune, such as any pirate might expect, Bartholemy the Portuguese found that he bad no chance atall. But he was not a common pirate and was therefore obliged to be content with his uncommon career. He eventually settled in the island of Jamaica, but nobody knows what becaine of him.

TIPPING IS LIKE GAMBLING. Waiters Prefer It to Higher Wages With Elements of Chance Omitted,

An up town caterer, when speaking of the tipping evil the other day, said that he would like to abolish it in his place, but that this couldn’t be done.

‘I give my waiters $25 a month and their board,’’ he continued, ‘‘If I were to offer them $60 with tipping prohibited, they would one and all goaway. Yet [ doubt whether they average $1 a day, which is less than the difference in tips. My place is a modest one, you know, and few tips are higher than 10 cents. Many of my customers, too, are women, who seldom tip at all.

‘*In my opinion the attraction in tipping to a waiter—that is, the reason he prefers it to higher wages with it prohibited—is the element of chance. He'd rather have $1 a day and the possibility of making $2 or $3 more in tips than a certain $2, not so much because of the additional gain in- volved as because of the uncertainty. 16 has the zest of gambling. He counts each dime he gets during the day, and when the aggregute reaches the higher figure just named, if not the lower, he feels all the triumph of a gambler who has broken the bank. Take away tipping, and you re move this stimulus which has added inter- est to his day’s work and deprive him of what has made his toil a comparative pleasure. Even when he gets less than the sum I think my waiters average, $1, he feels like the gambler who considered that next to the pleasure of winning was that of losing.—New York Sun.

The Toilet Table.

Here are a few things which the woman who is thoroughly careful of complexion, teeth, etc., will always keep on her toilet table.

She should have an array of glass stop- ped bottles containing alcohol, alum, cam- phor, borax, ammonia and glycerin or vaseline. A little camphor or water may be used as a wash for the mouth and throat if the breath is not sweet. Pow- dered alum applied to a fever sore will prevent it from becoming very unsightly and noticeable.

Insect etings or eruptions on the skin are removed by alcohol. A few grains of alum in tepid water will relieve people whose hands perspire very freely, render- ing them unpleasantly moist.

Be careiul in the use of scented soap. In many cases the perfume is simply a dis- guise for poor quality. A good glycerin or honey soap is always preferable. Of course one may rely on scented soap from ahigh class manufacterer. In addition to the soap for bathing, white castile should
