WORK OF THE PEACEMAKER.
Idler Can at Least Lay One Good
Deed to His Soul.
“I flatter myself that I played
rather an important and bcevolenl
role to-night,v averred the man
with the liver. “A party of us was
in a cafe. Among us was a beau
tiful young woman. 1 sat a little
apart with a friend, who presently
e.\c laimed :
“‘Look! What’s the matter with
her?’
“And I looked just in time to see
her fall hack in her chair in a dead
faint.
“We rushed to revive her. When
she came to it was found that she
had seen her husband come into the
cafe with another girl on his arm.
That' was why' she fainted. They
had been estranged and separated
for several months. Now you know
:it must have nearly broken her
heart to see him with another girl
if it made her faint. Somehow it
made me feel had. 1 went over
and sat down by her.
“‘Do you want to talk with
him?’ I asked.
“ ‘Yes,’ she answered.
“‘Well, then,’ said I. ‘you shall.’
“With that I marched myself
over to her husband, a handsome
fellow very well dressed, and
brought him to her. He had eith
er seen her faint, or heard of if.
He was quite ready and willing to
come.
“You know, he never went back
to the other girl. He made ar
rangements with some friends of
his to take her home. lie went
home with his wife, both happy as
larks, hut not until he had treat
ed the crowd of us right royally.”
A BEAUTIFUL VERB.
At a party in upper Fifth ave
nue the other night there was an
interesting and highly amusing dis
cussion of the Carnegie discredited
spelling, says the New York Press.
A young blade discoursed eloquently
on parts of speech. A beautiful
young woman asked: “What part
of speech am IF' lie answered
Vfistantly: “You are an abstract
noun.” “1! An abstract noun, sir!
Why am I not a verb?" “Because
mi one has ever yet been able to con
jugate you." ((treat laughter and
applause.) “Well.” she continued,
“I should like to be conjugated; can
you not conjugate me?" (Loud,
long and rapturous applause.) “No,
miss. I am reluctantly compelled to
decline you. All single ladies must
be compelled to pass as nouns; and
they are abstract because they are
generally all sweetness and good
ness." (Loud and continued ap
jplause.)

TOYS THAT REFLECT HISTORY.
Children's Playthings Show the
Spirit of the Age.
A little of every age of civiliza
tion is in its toys. The future his
torian will have no difficulty in
reconstructing our age if he finds
merely a few toys in dusty garrets
or museums.
Do you know what the little chil
dren in the early days of the perse
cuted Christians played with? I
have always thought it at once pa
thetic and horrible; they played
with little toy instruments of mar
tyrdom.
So to-day childhood plays with
the things of science. What went
oversea this year from Paris and
Nuremberg were toys of wireless
telegraphy, electrostatic machines,
electric tramways, automobiles
driven bv alcohol or electricity, elec
tric torpedo boats that plunge and
come to the surface again, cinemato
graphs, for the magic lantern is
declassed, and chrotnatropes, that
present colored and moving pic
tures; these scientific fancies of the
moment and a dozen others.
I looked at them one and all,
and amazement grew upon me.
What kind of a little hov is he
who plays with these somber and in
tricate toys?
And then I remembered that even
the little twentieth century hoy is
one of the wise people; in his un
i tiring wisdom la* knows that toys
—even rulunkorlT coils and geissler
luminous tubes and voltameters—
an* best when broken, and I foresaw
for him splendid moments, inquir
ing, dost ruetive.— K very body's.
GREAT SCIENTIST SAVED.
Hero is a curious little story
about Sir James Simson, the man
I who introduced the use oi chloro
form into surgery. and a peril which
he escaped, as recorded by Lyon
Playfair Simpson, when busy with
his researches into the subject of
anaesthetics, called one day on
Playfair and asked if he had any
thing new likely to produce anaes
thesia. Playfair had just prepared
a liquid which seemed worthy of
trial. Simson. who knew no fear,
prepared instantly to test it on
himself. This Playfair refused to
allow until it had first been tried
on rabbits. Two were procured and
placed under the ejects of the an
aesthetic. Xe\t day Simson pro
posed to try it on himself. “We
might as well set' how the rabbits
have fared," said Playfair. They
found hath the animals dead.
IT DEPENDED.
At it bend in the river oppo
site a likely pool a portly gen
tleman in the new fishing suit
stopped a native in order to get
some necessary information
about the surrounding country.
“Do you suppose." asked the
man with rod and retd, “it would
be worth my while to try fishing
round here?"
“Well," said the native,
thrusting his hands into his
eoek'ds. "the tishiif ain’t good,
luit in course I don’t know how
ve value yer time."

A Good Word for Kilts.
The Tailor and Cutter observes,

utility of kilts. They never bag at
the knees, nor do they ever require
patching at that part, and their hy
