Not Too Abrupt Raves changes in clothing are seldom safe, at least so the old-time grandmothers held. The putting off of winter underwear was likely to be a gradual and prolonged process. ‘That this belief in deliberate adjustment was widespread and inclusive is shown in Mr. W. P. Frith’s story of his life. He was engaged in painting a portrait of Mrs. Birt, the wife of a prominent business man, who used to bring her little dog to share her sittings. Mr. Birt was a great lover of dogs, but he en- tertained a strong aversion to dog-collars. So I was surprised one day when Mrs. Birt brought her favorite dog, “Ducky,” to see a band round the little animal’s neck. “T thought you objected to dog-collars, Mrs. Birt,” I said. “I see Ducky sports one to-day.” “Oh, no, that’s not a dog collar,” returned the lady. ‘It’s only a piece of flannel. The poor dear has had a dreadful cold and a sore throat. She has worn flannel night and day.” “Surely that is too narrow to do any good. The strip is no wider than a collar.” “Oh, it was wider, of course. We have gradu- ally lessened it. She is leaving it off by degrees.” —Youth’s Companion. The Man “CXIVE me the man who can hold on when others let go; who pushes ahead when others tum back; who stiffens up when others weaken; who advances when others re- treat; who knows no such word as ‘can’t’ or ‘give up’; and I will show you a man who will win in the end, no matter what opposes him, no matter what obstacles confront him.””—Orison Swett Marden, OUIS MA thinks he is an authority on laughter. Here are some of his opinions on the subject recently delivered : “The first smile is observed when a child is about forty to sixty days old, but it does not begin to laugh until some time after that.” “Children and women laugh more than men, because they are more excitable, and because the moderating power of the brain is less in them than among men generally.” “Laughter is not so much an index of intelli- gence as it is to the condition of health.” “The envious, wicked and malevolent rarely laugh, because they are impregnated with bile, and are, therefore, morose. The haughty,’ the vain and the awkward also laugh very little, for fear of losing their dignity. The Spanish people, proverbially grave, are a good example.” —Kan- sas City Independent. Protected Cars . PERSONS who think the railroad companies do not do all that they might for the comfort of passengers will be interested to hear a report | made recently to the Royal Meteorological Society in London about the cars on the Uganda Railway in Africa. To exist amid armies of wood-eating insects, the carsare built of metal. The large ven- tilators are protected by gauze against mosqui- toes. The windows are of green tinted glass, which allows the passenger to sce the landscape and at the same time shields him from the glare of ! the tropical sun.— Youth's Companion.
