TOO LATE, ALAS! TOO LATE! THE Marchioness Isabelia Lucini of Pavia is dead. JUDGE missed the happiness of knowing the marchioness. In fact, we never heard of her until she was gone. To be quite frank we did not know there was such a place as Pavia— though the name has a familiar look. Perhaps we have trod ail our life upon paving-stones made in Pavia and never knew it. Now, when it is too late, when is over, we learn that the Marchioness Lucini lived out her little day in Pavia, Such is fate. We learn of Pavia when there is no longer any reason for know- ing Pavia, We hear of the marchioness aly when it is too late ever to meet her, so is it with our brief and pauseless world, It sometimes seems to us as if life is one continuous Pavia—an endless procession of marchionesses, the consec- utive arrival at_places we no longer wish to reach, the acquisition of information we are no longer able to use, the belated discovery of interesting persons who, it turns out, are dead. But we have pat- tered on, and the reader, very likely, hasn't the least idea what this is all about. We will, therefore, introduce the mar- chioness, We quote: THE MARCHIONESS ISABELLA LUCINI. “Here is a woman whose sense of gratitude was not misplaced. The Mar- chioness Isabella Lucini of Pavia has left legacy of three thousand dollars to a local comic paper to which she was a Ifelong subsenber. Her will also di- rected that three hundred dollars in addi- tion should be spent on a sumptuous banquet, at which the staff of the paper should be entertained, *in recognition,’ so the will textually reads, ‘of the many pleasant hours. 5; in’ perusing its humorous columns. A three-hundred-dollar banquet for the staff and three thousand dollars for the editor! And lo! this beautiful person is dead, her place: vacant, She traveled a lovely path alone. We look as far as eye can reach to see if another like her is drawing near, but we se only the empty road dwindling away into the lonely des- olation of the horizon. There is nothing left but the consolation of her example, the cheering thought that such a person once lived, even though the world be empty of her kind now.

It is s curious fact that human benevo- lence is generally watered and made fertile by tears, by the sad, the weepy aspects of life, and almost never by the sunny, the optimistic, the joyful. For example—the mangy fraud who begs a dime snd emphasizes his spurious need with a heartless sniffle gets the dime. Per contra, the really deserving, who con- ceals the bitterness of his soul with a smiling face, though you may know his need, yet because he is too proud to ask, goes hungry on his way. The most effective dollar-getter, in those profes- sions where platform beggary is a dig fied calling, is generally a lachrymose i dividual with large resources as an eye- moistener. The gay and cheerful fellow, beaming with a rapturous optimism, pleases the crowd and makes it happy, but when the box goes round the lonely and infrequent drop of the pennies is pathetic. The marchioness is the only person we have ever heard of whose heart went out in grateful benevolence to the chap who makes the world laugh. DIPLOMACY.

Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in daytime, To take “tonics and stimulants” under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes re- freshing sleep at night and a wide-awake | individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of| eating to Grape-Nuts, and says, «For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doc- tor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. «When I started on Grape-Nuts, vom- iting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing disappeared en- tirely. “My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live with- out it. “It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and un- disturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a ‘bad stomach,’ There is no medicine so beneficial to herves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape- Nuts.” -| and unassuming man "— Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There's a reason.” MIXED, The bar furnishes some happy examples | of mixed metaphor, such as this aquatic opening. “These gentiemen have ished Al the good about until they have found a mare's nest, and on that tney hang their b The latest addition to this class of mixed | utterance comes from a detective agency, which states that its officers “ thought they had a good clew, but it exploded.” —Exchange.
