The Actress Wai Feted. A few weeks ago a pretty little Parliilan actress was appearing at a tlieatr In Genera. On the last night of the play a tall, well-dressed man sent in his card and asked permission to thank her personally for the pleasure that hex performance had given him. He entertained her at supper, and asked permission to see her off at the station on the following day. He arrived with his groom, who was carrying a tremendous bouquet of flowers. He told her that he had telegraphed to his brother, who was in Paris, and who had influence both with the press and the theatrical managers, and that he would meet her on her arrival in Paris. To the astonishment of the actress all this turned out to be true, and she found a magnificent carriage at the station. A fine dinner followed. The girl was dumb with astonishment. Her host told her that it was all for the sake of bis brother, -hom he loved dearly, and he spoke pathetically of the beautiful bouquet she carried, and which was made up of the flowers culled in the garden of the old homestead. She offered him the bouquet instantly, and he accepted it with a thousand thanks. Now she has found out why she was treated so well. She had been the means of smuggling watch springs to the value of $10,000 into Paris.

There are just three things that girls should not dare to do in Paris, and those are to visit cafes that they don't know anything about, to wander too far from the main paths in the Bois de Boulonge and the other great parks, or go out alone after dark. Some American girls do all these things, and they are the ones who have wild tales to tell. January Ladies' Home Journal.

What Do the Children Drink? Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAJN-0 ? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-0 is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about as much. All grocers sel lit 15c nd 25c.

Russell Sape Gives Advice. Uncle Russell Sage gives this advice: "The best way for a young man to begin who is without friends or influence is, first, by getting a position; second, keeping hi3 mouth shut; third, observing; fourth, being faithful; fifth, making his employer think he would be lost in a fog without him and, sixth, being polite." .

Music! Bilene. One evening Sir Arthur Sullivan went to see Rubinstein at his house in London. The Russian composer asked his visitor to step out onto the balcony and smoke a cigarette. They sat down, twisted their cigarettes, and puffed the blue clouds into the air. After a long pause Sullivan observed: "You are a great admirer of Beethoven, I presume?" "Yes," answered Rubinstein. "And Wagner?" "No," was the reply. That was all. Not another word was spoken. They rocked themselves in their chairs, and smoked away. After a long time Sullivan remarked: "I think it is time for me to be going." "Don't say so," said Rubinstein. "Stay a bit longer; it is so nice to talk to you." Sullivan remained, went on rocking himself and smoking into the small hours, when he at length got up and said: "I must really be off now; I think we have chatted long enough." Rubinstein drew out his watch, and shook his head in blank astonishment, "Half-past two," he said. "Strange how quickly times flies in pleasant company!" Collier's Weekly.

Deafness Can't Be Curort By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and 'hat is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed ?rou have a rumbling sound or imporfect heari)g, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restottd to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine oases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred DoIIwb for any case of Deafness ; (caused by Catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure, bend for circulars, free. F. J.

Samoan Girls Want Husbands. Apia seems to be pretty well supplied with some exceeding beautiful and well educated half-caste girls, who would make excellent wives for the right sort of young men. Many of these girls are daughters of well-to-do parents, and not a few would be able to start out nicely as far as funds and good looks were to be counted. These girls are all unwilling to marry native husbands, and there are certainly not enough foreigners to go round. Generally Samoan and half-caste girls make excellent and faithful wives, and, unlike the natives of Spanish-American countries, they hold their good looks for many years.

"Brunhilda. shadows touched of sunlight seem To lurk within thy musing maiden eyes Below the depths, where unexplored, there lies As in a sleep, a dim remembered dream Of autumn dusks along an ancient stream Which in old Norseman forests had its rise C'And, murmuring seaward under brooding skies, Shot far upon the sea its silver gleam: The wind-swept German Sea, mist-blown and gray, Whereon thy Viking fathers, sons of war, Sought the bold tempest as a boy his play, Exultant in the elemental roar Of wind and wave and warriors' battle fray, Bequeathing life to thee in primal store."
