ONE OF THE WORST HABITS
Persistent Borrower Always an Un
mitigated Nuisance.
Tt is tin' easiest thing in tin
world to gel into the borrowing
‘habit.
First it is a newspaper, then s
pattern, then a recipe, then a book
And then some day a gown i:
• borrowed to look at. then a lilth
note goes asking that a pan he len
•nd then it becomes the easiest thiiu
in the world to ask the loan of i
hat, or an embroidered petticoat.
Now alien you began if anvont
'old yon that you were a sponge voi
• would have been most indignant
And yet that is just what borrow
ers are.
It would he almost as bad tc
‘•borrow your neighbors money and
never return it as to keep up a con
stant borrowing of vour neighbor's
"belongings, getting out of them the
wear that is not yours and the
.pleasure that by rights belongs to
her.
* What the mistress does the maid
1does. In the kitchen they do not
$ hesitate to borrow a patent coffee
pot, a pudding dish, flavor extract,
some baking powder, sugar or oil.
* Hall the time the things are not
■ returned.
The persistent borrower is more
v>r less spoken ol as a sponge. So
“do not permit yourself to drift into
a very pernicious habit.

BARBAROUS ANCIENT CUSTOM.
An English court lias sen
tenced a woman to imprison
ment because she refused to
speak during a trial. The old
penalty for remaining mute un
der similar conditions was being
pressed to death. The form of
seriten e set forth ‘‘the prisoner
shall be laid in some low, dark
house, where he shall lie naked
on the earth and one arm shall
be drawn to one quarter of tin*
house, with a cord, and the other
arm to another quarter; and in
the sac -• manner let it be dope
with In' legs: and let there be
laid upon his body iron and
stone is much as he can bear—
or m e.v." There the man had
to lie < ui the following day he
was given three morsels of
bread v'.thout water; on the fol
lowing. water, but no bread.
And teas was his diet until he
died.

A BRIDL’S DILEMMA.
A humorous romance is reported
from Natal, where a youthful Hin
du bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
jewels.
The ease came before the Durban
police court in the first instance,
where the bride’s parents, says the
Natal Mercury, accused her hus
band of abducting her while under
lb years of age. The bride, how
i ever, claimed to be 18, and the mag
| istrate dismissed the case.
Outside tin1 court a tug-of-war
took place between the two parties
j for the possession of the bride, in
| the course of which it appeared that
i what her parents particularly de
■ sired was not herself, but her jewel
ry. A sergeant of police then sat in
judgment, and decided that the
| jewelry belonged to the parents, and
j the girl must choose between her
ljusband and her bracelets.
After some cogitation she chose*
the husband, who promptly un
fastened the bangles from her arms I
and handed them to her parents.
UNGALLANT.
She—Well, If 1 fail as a model I
can keep the wolf from the door by
sinking.
He—That is. provided he has a cor- \
rect ear for music.
IMPROVED ANESTHETIC.
A discovery in anesthetics is that
of F) r. Stephen Led tie, a Parisian
physician, who destroys sensibility ■
ali over the body by sending a mild ■
alternating current of electricity,
through the brain in the same gen
eral manner as in electrical execu
tions. In this case the patient loses
consciousness, but in every other re
' spect important advantages result.
There is no nausea, weakness or lan
guor. and no effect on the heart.
The patient becomes conscious the
instant the current is shut off, and
with a decidedly invigorated sensa
tion.
MORE TEMPTING.
Teddy's father had brought home
some rare o4d cheese, and after hear
ing his praise of its strong points.
Teddy was manfully struggling to
make way with a small niece of it. ■
Seeing the cheese still on his j
platv and Teddy’s nose perceptibly
elevated, his father said: “What is
the matter, Ted—don’t you like
that line cheese?*’
“Yes.” answered Teddy, with the
air of a connoisseur. “This cheese
is very good, but I think 1 like just
plain, common mouse cheese bet
ter.”—Harper’s Monthly.
SOME SATISFACTION.
The excursion train \Vas on its
return trip, filled with tired an^
sleepv passengers. It had come to
a stop, hut to those who looked out
of the windows no station or other
buildings were in sight. Fully ten
minutes it stood, and the passengers
were wondering where they were or
what the trouble might be.
dust then a young man appear
ed at the front door of the coach.
“Craekerjack!” he yelled.
“Well," said a passenger up
front, “it's some satisfaction to
know where we’re at. anyway.”
A DILEMMA.
“I wonder how it feels to have
so much money you don't know
what to do with it.”
“I was that wav once.”
“Come off!”
“Sure 1 was. 1 only had so much
and my creditors were demanding
as much again.”
