After sailors and gamblers, tlio all night liack-iirivers are tin- m.-st sui.et stit.ous tieople 1 know, says an old de tective. A cat crossing in front of a "night-hawk's" "outtifc" is considered bad et.. ugh luck to dwarf the nig it'a busin bt.i a white c it means 'lii.ei deincrali. atlon for the night, riomu "hanks" immediately begin to drink, in enter Unit tk v may forget the ap paratior, of the white cat, and v fieti a "night-hawk" is visited with the dclir iii!.i tro'-ens i'e does net see snakes, like iiic ordinary sufferer, but hundred? of white eats crowd before his vision. A driver of an all-night hack never puts his left ,oot on the wheel lirst upon getti ig upon the box; Jio thinks it bad luck, rnd nothing can induce him to open tiie door of his cab or carriage with his lelt hand. It a shoe becomes ioo. e on one of the horse's leet that's a bad omen, and causes the driver to be* iieve that some ba 1 luck is in store for him. When the moon is shining brightly and a bigcLr.td suddenly hides it from vi ov and causes darkness to settle on the streets the "hawk" grows suspicious. If the passenger happens to be a drunken man with a torn um brella. that is considered g&otl luck, a sign that rain will be plentiful and make business good. Some of them won't eat during tiie night, for fear it will change their luck, but tliey never refuse a drink. The lighted stump of a c av picked ,tp after it lias been thrown away by a well-dressed man and quickly smoked is thought to bring good luck. All the jelius who are only seen on the streets at night are great policy players. If they are lucky they may make » $5 bill, but by the time the horses' scant feed is bought and the policy slips are paid for there is not much left, and the rag-tag JtSckman of the wee small hours comes back under cover of darkness the next night just as poor as ever.— Philadelphia limes. The Woman anil the IVatck. Did you ever notice a lady go into s watch store to have her watch set? Kite marches up to the counter with the sweetest of smiles. She pulls out the dainty little thing, looks at it af fectionately and then up at the clock, with a look as if she were so very sad because the dear watch was sick. Then she hands it to the handsome young man who exhibits the imRatios gems laid carefully out for show in 8 glass case. She beams upon him and then she says, so prettily: "Will you please set this watch foi me?" ''Certainlv; with pleasure." The handsome young man in a per fectly practical way, takes a little in strument cut of a drawer, turns the watch over on its face and prepares to open the back of it. Then you wanl to lock. There is a little scream, g rush, a grab, and the fair one has re covered the precious article. Why does she scream and grab? She's got a pict tire of lie * best beau in the inside oJ the ease. That's all. And she goes home anil sets the watch herself it the seclusion of her silk-lined, beauti ful boudoir. There are so many secrets about a woman that every female child should be vorn with a chart.—Nan Frcnciscn c7 t on icle. A Winter's Tale. "Nancy, is George still livingaiound with you?" "Yes, ma'am," answered the girl. "Why, I thought you had given him the mitten V" "1 did, several days ago." "And he still comes? That's strange; a young man usually Hies all to pieces and never speaks to the girl again." "He seemed to like it," answered Nancy, hi shingly. "Weli, 1 can : understand him. Can yon imagine why he liked it?" "Don't know, ma'am," turning verv red, "unless it was bc.-nuse niv hand was in tli - mi ,t-n when I gave it to him." "Hum, tout's enough, child."

My old Great-grandmother Knox had a way of making her children Hnisb their work. If they began a tiling they must complete it. If they under took to build a cob-house, tliey must not leave it until it was done, and nothing of work or play to which they set their hands would she allow their to abandon incomplete. I sometimes wish I had been trained in this way. How much of life is wasted in un finished work! Many a man uses up his time i>j splendid beginnings. The labor devoted to commence ten things and leave them useless would finish five of them and make them profitable and useful. Finish your work; life is brief; time is short. Stop beginning forty things, and go back and finish four. Put path-lit, persistent toil into the matter, and, be assured, one com pleted undertaking will yield yourself more pleasure anil the world more profit than a dozen fair plans of which people say, "This man began to build, aivl was not able to finish." "Whatsoever thy hand findetk to Jo, do it, with thy might."--Anon. A MEDICAL journal states that the average Chinese baby weighs but five pounds. The journal did not state whether the Chinese baby's capacity for squalling was less, in proportion to weight, than that of any other baby, but if they howl in the Chinese language as loud as the American kid docs in tint United States language, liow the poor mother must suffer. If any one has ever heard two Chinamen holding a convention in their native tongue, Dun can readily see tkat a wiu.U who is just learning to lisp a few aitJables in the Chinese language would make Home howl.— lech's S u n. A well-dressed man was - een to stare at a woman impudently, hail a street car imperiously, pay liis fare conde scendingly, seat himself fashionably, and expectorate furiously. "Who is that distinguished gentleman?" whis pered an awe-struck stranger to the con cht -tor. And the conductor replied: "He's the janitor of a West-Side Hat."— Cincinnati Travelers' Magazine. How can you expect your children to be better than you ara yourself? The old proverb is a true one. How can the foal amble when the horse and mare trot? Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles. — Solomort. ' j^INS*TENTH5 Of all the pain and sickness from which women suffer is caused by weakness or derangement in the organs of menstruation. Nearly always _ when a woman is not well these organs are affected. But when they are strong and healthy a woman is very seldom sick. Is nature's provision for the regu lation of the menstrual function. It cures all " female troubles. " It is equally effective for the girl in her teens, the young wife with do mestic and maternal cares, and the woman approaching the period known as the "Change of Life." They ail need it. They ars all bensfitted by it. For advice In cases rrquirin? special directions, addrrsn. givini-; syrisv-'-s, the "Ladies' Ad/iscty jJ-nsrtr::e- " The Cha"anooga Medicine Co., Ci:-.-_i r.ocga, Tenn.
