low a. Social Climber Used the Presi-
. dent’s Declination.
As an example of the use to which
even the declination of an invitation
may be put, a single instance may be
cited. From a social climber of the most
self-obtrusive and offensive type, who
had been eagerly bent for years on ob-
taining, some personal recognition from
the President’s family, came one day
a card for the wedding reception of his
daughter.
The stereotyped response was sent by
one of the clerks, expressing the regret
of the President and his wife that
they would be unable to attend. The
morning papers on the day following
the affair contained a full account of
all that took place. ending with a list
of distinguished guests; and the record-
ed procession Of generals and commo-
dores and judges wound up with the
announcement that “President and Mrs.
Cleveland were to have honored the oc-
casion with their presence, but at the
last moment were unavoidably prevent-
ed and obliged to send their regrets.”

A1181? of the sums left by a number
of British medical men, mostly knights

teresting. The estates range in value
from nearly half a million to about $40.-

the age of sixty-eight, left an estate
worth over £93,000. Dr. John' S. Bris-
towe left an estate worth £15,734, and
the late Dr. Tuke an estate of about
£30,000. It is estimated that the aver-
age of the personal estates of sixty-seven
physicians and surgeons whose wills
were noticed during six or Lseven years
was £50,614. This is a vastly greater
sum than could be credited to a similar
number of eminent American physi-
cians, and it is possible that some of
those gentlemen inherited the fortunes

WITHOUT SENTIMEI‘JT.
It Looks Very Much as if Tears Arc Gov
ting Out; ofStylc. ‘
Who is sentimental nowadays? Men
always were ashamed of showing them-
selves so. They eschewed tears and liid
their feelings under a mask of stolid
indifference. N ow women have follow-
ed their example. A brusqueness and
brutality of speech has taken the place
of sentiment and softness.
Women have ceased to indulge in
tears, they will soon lose the power of
emotion, and the resources of such a
safety valve to sorrow is considered out
of date, to look grieved a sign of pover-
ty of intellect. Children sit dry eyed at
a touching play, and their morhers re-
mark on the admirable way the dar-
lings behaved.
Possibly those who have no sentiment
suffer less from' life’s rubs, but then
again, surely they lose a great capacity
for happiness. A world without senti’
' ment may be prosperous, rich and com-
fortable, but will inevitably prove very
dull. -—Philadelphia Press.
TH E FACE LINES.
Some Interesting Facts About the Story
Told by the Features.
A single vertical wrinkle between the
eyebrows shows strict honesty in money
matters.
Economy broadens the nose, making
it; rather short and thick above the nos-
trils; it gives in age a broad double
chin.
Lines extending downward from the
angle of the mouth toward the chin,
when marked, show a tendency to sad-
ness and melancholy.
The lines raying outward from the
eyes show capacity for enjoyment as
well as the two deep furrows framing
' the month by the upper lip. The for-
mer are the penalty we pay for; mirth
and form the future channel of the
tear.
When one has short vertical lines in .
the red parts of the lips strongly marked
they indicate a capacity for friendship.
If the lips be full, the chin well devel- ,
oped and square, one has much vital:
power over others, a strong capacity
for loving and self reliant spirit. ’ ‘

SECIJ RED HIS RIGETS.
How a Drummer 0v rcamo Several Bails
road Men. _
Because he carried a hundred pounds
of ,bagsage- in excess of the amount al-
lowed to one passenger, a commercial
traveler had an amusing experience
which is described by the Bangor Com-
mercial. The baggage master at a cer-
tain small town told him he mustlpay 75
cents to have his extra trunk taken to
the next station.
The drummer knew this was just 50
cents too much, but there was no time
to argue. He asked the fare to the next
station. It was 30 cents. He bought a
ticket. [Then he presented his two
tickets,‘ and the baggage master not
very willingly, checked both of the
trunks. ‘
While this was being done. the drum-
mer asked if there was any one in the
crowd who was going to the next sta-
tion. If so he added, a ticket could be
bought at a discount. He succeeded in
selling his extta ticket for twenty
cents. .
This made the baggage master furi-'
one, and when the train came in he in-
formed the conductor that he had ex-
cess baggage and only one ticket. The
conductor then took up the matter;
but the drummer told him that one
ticket was good for one fare and two
checks were good for two trunks, and
he would not pay an excess rate. '
On their arrival at Blank station, the
conductor warned the station agent to
see that excess was collected. The
drummer replied that unless those
trunks were delivered to him before the
train started, he would remain on board
go to headquarters and report the case.
He got the trunks. ‘
All She Wanted.
A Scotch woman was returning by
train from a market town, where she
made a few purchases. Just as the
last bell rang a fussy gentleman. ele-
gantly dressed, and with a. “mind thy-
self” looking face, rushed into the com-
partment, flung himself hastily into a
corner, pulled out a paper, and pro—
ceeded to devour its contents. Hardly
had he become seated when the woman
timidly addressed him:
“I am very sorry, sir, but-—
“I never listen to beggars,” fiercely
interrupted the gentleman. “If you
annoy me further, I’ll report you.”
The woman’s eyes flashed, then
She said no more, and the
frown behind :his paper.
All went merrily as a marriage bell
until the train arrived at Cromlade,
when the “auld wife” in stepping out
again addressed the churlish individual
in the corner:
“I care na, sir, whether ye report me
or no, but I want that pound of butter
ye’ve been sittin’ on for these last six
mile.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
On Being Critical.
It is one of the maxims of the “well
meaning person” that you should not be
too critical. But well meaning persons
scatter their advice recklessly out of the
fulness of a soft heart untempered by
the wisdom of a hard head. True, they
have a habit of hedging their philoso-
phy by a free use of the adverb “too"
before the qualitive adjectives they
condemn; but that is only for an exit
in case of emergency, as it were. As
we cannot roundly condemn these kind-
ly people,. we express our opinion , of
them by calling them “well meaning
persons,” who have a habit of confusing
ideas and are not usually quite happy
in the choice of words to express what
they intend. When they say, “Don’t be
too critical,” they mean, “Don’t be per-
petually finding fault in a. peevish
spirit.” But when the teacher or
preacher goes astray in his definition, it
is not always the fault of his hearers if
his doctrine is misunderstood,
