It is proof that Providence does not wish the multitude to go hunerry when fools with a knack of making money keep on being born. If all men were wise, and luxury therefore a thing unknown, we might still be fed, after a fashion, but the sum total of happiness would be less. Nobody would be happier except those few who have been permitted, by trial, to discover what a poor thing luxury is, while the rest of us, havlne nobody to envy, would be miserable. —Puck. A LESSON ON SPECIALIZING He was an American visitor, and as he sauntered into the barber's shop he freely criticised British methods of work and business. "You don't specialize," he said; "you should stick to one branch of a thing and master it completely." The barber said nothing, but lathered his face very liberally, and then sat down to read. "Well, why don't you shave me?" in quired the American, after five min utes.

THE BEST HE COULD DO "Explorers hate to take back or amend anything they have written," said F. S. Dallenbaush of the American Geographical society. "They are like the Waldo editor there. "A man entered the Waldo editor's office and shouted angrily: " 'You said In yesterday's paper that I'd been hanged. It's false. I've never been condemned, let alone hanged.'

One morning he was asked into the "set tin 1 room" by the lady answering his knock, and was immediately beset by a barking dog. "Don't mind Tip," said the lady, "he's only fooling—he won't bite you."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR The more relatives a man has the happier he could be without any. A man thinks he Is reforming people when he Is only nagging them.
