DISTRESS WAS TOO "TOUCHY"
Uaable to -Agree on the Subject of
Toothbrushes, Maid Abruptly
Resigned Peeltlon. '
"When the tall' girl found the xnis-j
tress of the six-room flat washing'
dishes ahe asked what bad happened
to Mary.
"Mary haa left," aald the bousekeep
er. "I insulted her yesterday morn.
Ins at 10 o'clock, and at 11 ahe packed)
her trunk and skipped. v '
"We had a row over toothbrushes. i
Mary exhibited an unparalleled Inter;
est In toothbrushes. Every brush she j
came to was taken up and turned orer
and orer and commented on admlr
Ingly or the reverse.
"Finally ahe came to mine. I could
sense at once that she liked it
"'Whose Is thisT she asked.
t " 'Mine,' 1 said.
"She poured out a glass of water
and dipped the brush in.
"'Oh. well.' she said, 1 wont be
afraid to use it, then.'
"For a moment I stood there liter
ally stupefied, but soon I saw that
prompt action was necessary, and I
caught Mary's arm In a painful grasp.
"'Put It down this Instant,' I com
manded. 'Put it down.'
"Mary drew back and withered me
out of the corner of her eye.
" 'Dear me,' she said. how touchy
some folks are. I never work for
touchy folks.'
"And so we parted. She seemed
salable to get my point of view on
toothbrush etiquette, and I seemed un
able to get hers, so we thought It best
to sever our relations."
FREQUENTLY FORGOT RING
Nervous Bridegrooms Overlook Impor
tant Feature of Marriage Ceremony
Substitute Sometimes Used.
This warning has been given many
times to the nervous bridegroom on
the morning of the great event of his
life. One would hardly think it nec
essary to remind a man of so impor
tant a feature of the ceremony. Yet.
again and again has the agitated bride
groom found himself in the awful pre
dicament of being minus the hoop ot
gold. And distressing are the scenes
which sometimes ensue. In some in
stances, the clergyman has come to
the rescue. At one wedding, when the
bridegroom confessed that be had for
gotten the ring, the minister prompt
ly drew a bunch of keys from his
pocket, handed the largest of the
bunch to the embarrassed young man.
who looked stupidly at the large loop
at its end. The bride, howerer, had
the presence of mind to thrsst the
proper finger through the loop, m here
upon the bridegroom, prompted by th .
' clergyman, said in a dazed fashion:
"With this ring I. thee wed" An
other clergyman, at .a suburban wed
ding, supplied the suddenly discovered
deficiency by removing his eyeglasses,
slipping out one of the lenses, and
offering the gold rim to the bride.
She had tact enough to accept the
strange substitute without question.
Joy of Living.
The legitimate Joy of living la the
prize of sanity, courage and sympathy.
The sight of all the preventable dis
eases and the moral disasters that are
avoidable may, and often must, draw
a cloud over the day. The still, sad
music of humanity is not always sooth
ing to those who hear It, and some
times makes cheerfulness seem crim
inal. Yet the cheerful, happy souls
are the bringers of blessing to the
disconsolate and the victims of sin and
sorrow. Every haman being has a
right to be happy if he can, and in
deed he is under obligation to set the
example to others who live nnder
darkened skies. It is a help aad com
fort to the down-trodden and the op
pressed to know that there is such a
thing as. liberty, and that it la obtaln-

No Race of Giants.
The remains of extinct races of men
which have been dug up furnish no
evidence of the former existence of
"giants" nor does any race of tnea
larger than that inhabiting tae aorth

size as that which is characteristic off
man and of various species cf vUfl

certain small variatloa in that size, so

First Civilization.
It was Egypt, in all probability, that
the condition e call civilization had
its rise at a time when the very idea
of writing was unknown to other na
tion. An attempt is now being made
to show that the idea of the settled
and more or less orderly and peace
ful social state to which we give the
name of civilization came from Chal
dea. or Babylonia, where that sort of
thing existed long before it was
brought to Egypt. Bat sot as yet is
