Everybody knows the man who Is careful never to say "No" abruptly in answer to n question. "No" is a hard word, but one may sometimes be made ridiculous by a reluctance to utter it, says an exchange. A certain man who had, this habit was once met by two ladies who had been discussing the peculiarity, and one of them said that she was positive she could make him say "Oh, not" flatly. So she addressed him thus: "Let me see, Mr. Smith; you are a .Widower, are you not?" # "As much a widower, madam;" he answered, with a polite Inclination of his head, "as it is possible for a man to be who has never married." The lady had to own herself beaten.-- Mobile Register.

As he was going out he suddenly turned and said: , "I have here a most wonderful book. It is worth in money value any other book in Boston. In fact, it is worth a whole library. If it could be properly edited and illustrated, as I Would do it, it would be wortli. the whole public library put together." Nodding authoritatively, he shut the ddor, leaving those in the office looking at one another, too bewildered for con­ jecture. Presently the door opened again quietly, and Dr. Holmes put in his head, his face bubbling over with amusement, and said: "Oh, I forgot to tell yon what book this is. It is Nat Thayer's checkbook." Then he shut the door.

Ar« Von Left Eye«^ or Rlgtit feyedf There are but few ambidexters either In the matter of hands, feet or eyes. It may sound rather queer, but it is a fact nevertheless, that ninety-five out of ev­ ery hundred human beings are right handed, left legged and left eyed. Felix Hement remarked that it Is as established fact that we ail use one eye more than we do the other, which es­ tablishes as clear a case of "left and right eyedness" as though the same terras were, used to denote a preference in the use of hands and feet. If you want to decide as to whether your friends or relatives are right or left eyed jgive them a small telescope or spyglass to look through or have them take aim with a gun. We all take great interest In ascertaining the color, size, shape and visual powers of. our children's eyes, but how many of us stop to consider whether thoy axe right or* left eyed? Bow Naval Oflleera Arm Betray#. "Yon see that man pacing np and down while he "Waits for the car?f said the nautical looking man to a ^roup of bystanders. "Well, I'll bet anything he's a naval officer." "How do you know?' asked one of his audience. r "By his-well kept hands I know he's not a merchant seaman. They work too hard. But, just the same, he's a seafaring man. Whenever you see a man pacing like that make up your mind he has paced the poop or quarter deck on many a night watch. "I've paced a watch of four hours in a space that allowed only three steps and a shove each way. You have to do It to keep awake. I can tell that quar­ ter deck pace in others because I've got it myself." Fr«afc At* Soma# Health. There are Eftany persons who seem afraid of the fresh air. A little rain, a little wind, a little fog, a little chill In the air will keep them within doors. Going out, they bundle up in clothes so thickly that one would think they were tender shrubs transplanted from some more genial clime. The healthy people, however, are not the health cranks, not the people who run to the doctor every time they feel an ache. They are the people who walk a great deal in the fresh air, who live in the open as much as they can and who take a vacation in the country every year.--San Francisco Bulletin. A Singvlar Forest. "X^e'most singular forest growth in the world is encountered in the Falk­ land islands, a dismal region constantly swept by a strong polar wind. What appears to be weather worn and moss covered bowlders are scattered about, and when one of these curious objects Is seized in an attempt to overturn it strong roots are found to hold it down, these "bowlders" being, in fact, native trees which the wind has forced to as­ sume this shape.
