A Place For Renting and Mining Trains Without a Pang. “Speaking of the high tension of mod- ern life,” said a New Orleans man of at- fairs, "I am reminded of a little incident that occurred during a visit I paid to Mexico City several years ago. I had planned to take a trip to a neighboring town and was very careful to be at the depot considerably before the time adver- tised for the train to leave so as to take no chances on missing it. As it happen- ed. however, it was half an hour late in starting, and just before it finally pulled out a gentleman, who was evidently an American, came slowly sauntering up, smoking a cigarette. \Vithout hurrying in the slightest degree he reached the platform exactly in time to step aboard the moving car. It was as close a connec- tion as I ever saw in my life. and the amazing imperturbability of the chap piqued my curiosity. " ‘Pardon me,’ said I, after making some pretext for conversation, ‘but were you aware that this train was due to leave half an hour ago?’ ‘Certainly,’ he replied.~ ‘Then how in the world.” I ask- ed, ‘did you happen to strike such a leis- urely gait in coming to the depot?’ ‘Well. I’ve quit hurrying since I came here,’ he answered smilingly. ‘You see, I used to be a broker in Chicago, with a home in the suburbs, and I spent 18 years of my life running to trains. I begrudged every minute I lost from business, and it I got there 30 seconds too soon my conscience reproached me for squandering valuable time. Of course I eventually broke down, as most of ’em do sooner or later, and the doctor gave me a choice or complete rest in California or complete rest in the cem- etery. ' ‘ A IA- l l l l l l l tle on my head. and then and there I swore off on all forms of hurry. Natu- rally I came to Mexico, which is the one place where a man can keep such an oath without seeming eccentric. and at pres- ent I am engaged exclusively in taking things easy. You have no idea how de- lightful it is. My plans never miscarry. because I never make any. and no consid- eration on earth could induce me to get a move on myself.’ . “ ‘But suppose you had missed the train today,’ I suggested. ‘I would have gone tomorrow,’ he replied calmly. ‘or perhaps not at all. Why, my dear sir.’ he said earnestly. ‘missing trains with- out a pang is an exquisite pleasure to a ran who has chased ’em for 18 9.13.1 years! Trains are emblematic of all that is headlong and breathless in modern life; and to grin at the rear platform as it moves away and say, “G’long with you: I don’t care a cuss!” is one of the sweet- est joys I knnw. I love to miss trains.’ “I often think of that happy exile,” said the :peaker, sighing. “I believe he has solved the oroblem of life.” DEV-J- “ ‘I chose California and was just be ginning to find out what a good thing life really was when some fool friends tempt- ed me to go into a railroad scheme, and in two months I was on my back again.

Kate’s place was in the dining room, says the Worcesterflfl‘nxette. speaking of vâ€"v a “model servant." She was not the cook. but she had a fine talent for des- serts and often went into the kitchen to make up some special dainty. So it happened that when the mistress had a clerical dinner, with the bishop and two or three other churchmen, Kate was the author of the pudding. She was very much pleased when the bishop praised the dish and the other clergynien echoed his opinion. but she masked her enjoyment of the situation behind the solemn face which she always Wore when waiting on the table. "Pray tell me.” said the bishop. “what is the name of this wonderful pudding?" “I really don't know,” said the mis- tress. ““‘hat is the name or it, Kate?” K ate. very proud of the importance beâ€" stowed upon her, but with features un- moved, said: “Well, ma'am. to tell ye the truth, I’ve been so busy today that I hadn’t time to name it.

After the guests were gone the bride looked over the wedding presents very rarefully and then sat down and began to weep. V.

I don’t know of a sin- gle one of them who hasn’t given some- thing, and most or the presents are Very nice ones too.” “Yes,” she sobbed, “b-b-but there are no t-t-two alike, and I had been co-count- ing on the t-f-fun I would have taking duplicates b-“ack and canine monev for them i”â€" In Use. - Mamma (at the breakfast table)-â€"You always ought to use your napkin.

Mrs. Potter Palmer has organized an admirable service to give information to American women who desire to see the Paris exposition without waste of time, energy or money. Lady Granville Gordon, who is dead in London, was the first woman of society to start a millinery shop, an example which has since become quite a fad on both sides of the water. Mrs. Greenleaf, wife of Colonel C. R. Greenleaf, has succeeded in opening an American library in Manila for the use of American soldiers, sailors and citizens. It contains about 4,000 volumes, many of them soiled and worn, but greatly en- joyed by both officers and men.

He is a native of Virginia and is said to possess many of the requisites for a SUCCL‘SSful college president. Some of the western newspapers are ridiculing the order for a course of agri- cultural instruction in the public schools on the ground that the average Kansas boy and girl know more about practical farming than the average pedagogue could find out in ten years. Keep old white kid gloves to wear at night when it is desired to whiten or soften the hands. If any lotion is up plied, its contact with white gloves leaves no stain, as sometimes happens when black or colored gloves are worn. Better than tin cans for keeping the tea and cofiee are the ordinary glass fruit jars. The tops should be tightly screwed on. It is a mistake to keep tea and coffee in too warm a closet. as their flavor is best preserved in a cool, dark place.

Perhaps the least understood of human maladies is dyspepsia. Turn ’to one standard lexicon and you will find this: “Dyspepsiaâ€"See Indigestion.” Turn to another and you will see this: “Indiges- tionâ€"See Dyspepsia.” Read all you can find on both subjects and all you will know may be set down thus: Dyspepsia is indigestion and indigestion is dyspep- sia. Bread is said to he the staff of life. Possibly that is true. Bread fresh made is responsible for all the indigestion and dyspepsia. Eat it hot and be a chronic invalid. Everybody in the south was dysâ€" peptic until northern bakers settled there after the war and made bread that was eaten cold. Talk about your “beat his- cuit” and your “soda iéz” rolls, your hot pone and your Sunday loaf heated over to melt butter. It sounds old fashioned and aristocratic, maybe, but it is death by slow degrees of torture.

As a matter of fact, this hearty eater was a martyr to dyspepsia, and his abnormal capacity for food was but the outward evidence of his trouble. He and Scott had the same malady, but in a different form. The millionaire could not eat at an tvhluaut the severest pains. IIe spentinany thousands of donars for medicinal help and medical advice and died of starvation and gastritis. If he had.never eaten bread,itis probalde that he never would have known dyspepsia. Prevention of the national disorder may be acconnphshed in no other vvay; eat no bread. _ ‘ ‘ 3 --L mol‘A It you are bound to eat bread, eat matâ€" zos. They are made of the purest flour that can be had, and they contain no leaven. If you are bent upon eating bakers’ bread, either loaves or rolls, let it remain in the bread box a week or ten days until decomposition or fermentation has done its work of purification; then soak in cold water a minute or two and heat in the oven until quite dry and light.

The Frenchman began an animated con- versation in their native tongue. The shade did not respond.
