Safety In Friendship.
An Intimate friendship is at once
a safeguard la recreation and social
enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
fore he plunges into surroundings
which he knows his best friend would
condemn. It Is a stimulus, because
In work or business, or even play, a
man does not willingly lag behind
while the friend Is forging ahead. Is
ooinmon endeavors for good causes,
religious or social or political, friend*
ship is a powerful Inducement to sell

When I get to be old I ain't goto*

nor none of them signs. They'll all

times I’ll get throwed down, and I
won’t bounce back. Then I’ll know
!t't all over. When a man gets that
i way, he’s old. Old, see? It don’t
make any difference how much longer
he lives after that, he don’t ever gat
any older.—"Billy Fortune*"
Professor Recited Badly.
One day a college professor, going
to hie olass, came across one of hla
students who had just fallen down.
Asking him how he fell, the student
replied, "Notwithstanding.” Telling
the aneedote a short time later the
professor said: "I met Mr. Junior the
other day, and he made a very bright
remark. He had Juat fallen down, you
know; and, when I asked him how it
happened, he said, ’Nevertheleee.’

Princess Hassa .fclls of a Meal j
Its Servic , in the Land of W
True Epicures. i
A typical French dinner—uot an
exceptional one, mark you, but 'lueh
a dinner as a small tradesman's Im
ily would have—Is Incomparably su- ;
perior to the plain roast dinner
There would be, first of all, a few
relishes, according to the season of
the year. Radishes, ice cold, sardines,
olives, saviar. Just a little of each
with which to awaken the appetite, j
then the soup to excite gently tho j
liquids of the throat and stomach, !
then a little entree—usually a bit of
fish with its appropriate vegetable,
or a handful of vegetables flavored
with meat sauce. Then, and not til]
then, does the chief course appear.
It may be a roast, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but In no case will
It be anything which Is not la har
mony with tho previous courses and it
will be eaten in moderation, for the
edge of the diner's appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded it. With It coin's the
salad—varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes of the sea
son, and never, never by any possi
bility will it be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the romalae, strawberry
and green popper thing. After the
salad there will be fruit or mellow
cheese, and then coffee. It will take
two hours to eat such a dinner, but it
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay for it*
and there will be no indigestion aft
erward, no matter of what the din
ner is composed.—Princess Hassan In
an Interview by Louise Rice in the
Delineator.
GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
There la a Point to This Imported
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for It.
This la rot an American Joke. The
reader la solemnly warned that It
la of German extraction. Germans,
as everybody knows, like their Jests
broad and brutal. The victim of this
one was Cousin Hugo.
It seems Cousin Hugo made a night
of It and got home as the small hours
began to cease to be so small. At
he climbed the stairs he stumbled (in
spite of the most elaborate care) and
rolled down Into the hall below, The
consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not
so young as he used to be, -was a brok
en collarbone and a strained back.
Ahead even of the milkman, then,
came the family doctor, an estimable
old gentleman, and adnlnistered
soothing words while he encased the
patient in plaster.
‘1 know, my dear sir,” he said, “that
It hurts like the deuce, but It la not
a bit dangerous. All the same you'll
have to stay In bed for a while. You
got a nasty fall. How did It happen!
Waa it dark?*’
"It was not, doctor," replied Cousin
Hugo with some asperity, "It waa
light"

drinker.—New York Evening Post
Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! X
stick of wood in a lumber yard may be
sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting weights In a new
building. Some of the diseases are so
contagious that in a bnlldlng they will
Jump several feet across masonry or
brick to some stick of healthy wood.
Cures were recently discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En
gineers.
Most of the diseases are varieties of
dry rot caused by a fungus, and most
of the varieties of dry rot fungus can
not stand heat much over 100 degrees;
so tha most likely cure la to close a
building up tight, If any beams are in
fected, and heat it np to 120 or 140 de
grees. Even this Is not always mo
for ends of beams are hurled
In the outer brick walls and the boat
may not reach them. -Saturday Eve

An tumeual golf story comes from
