Persons who have irritability of the j

hot water is an excitant, and in cases
in which irritation of the stomach ex

All n Matter of Doubt Anyway.
A young mail from the south who a
few years ago was so fortunate as to
tie enabled to enter the law offices of
a well knowu New York firm was first
intrusted with a very simple case. He
was asked by the late James C. Carter,
then a member of the firm, to give an
opinion in writing. When this was
submitted it was .observed by Mr. Car
ter that, with the touching confidence
of a neophyte, the young southerner
had begun with the expression, "I am
clearly of opinion."
Wheu this caught his eye be smiled
and s:fid:
"My dear young friend, never state
j that you are clearly of opinion on a
' law point. The most you can hope to
dl rovcr is the preponderance of the
doubt."? Success.
Out of the Public.
j When I was a very little boy, writes
Sir William Gregory ill bis autobiog
raphy. my grandfather, who was then
' undersecretary fur Ireland, took me to
the chief secretary's room iu Dubliu
castle and formally introduced me to
Lord Meltiourne.
After I bad been with him for soma
little time be said, "Now, my boy, Is
there anything here you would like?"
"Yes." 1 answered, pointing to a
very large stick of sealing wax.
"That's right," said Lord Melbourne
pressing on me a bundle of pens; "be
gin life ea-ly. All these things l>eloni?
to the public, and your business must
always be to get out of the public a*
much as you can." ? Pearson's Weekly.
Omnia or Bricklayers.
Bricklayers believe it is unlucky to
lay the top brick at the north corner or
a building. Some of them would lose
a day's pay rather than imperil their
future by doing such a piece of work
A bricklayer often bricks up In the
hollow of a wall a horseshoe with a
cent tied to It. This he does for good
lnck. To lay the first and last brick of
any building but a church brings good
luck to the bricklayer. Churches are
the luckiest buildings to work on: the
aters are the unluckiest. It Is bad luck
to break a trowel.? New York Press.
