WM. ALLEN WHITE ON SOCIETY.
A Commentary on Uuim-n ami their
Ways The ;olW-n Hulf Kn er-il.
Gruporiu tiuzctt-.-.
A young woman in this town went
visiting iu Is'fw York. She was visit
ing some sutinrba i people in an aris
tocratic n.'ighi)iirlio.nl outside oi
town. She we. t to a party and was
introduced to u innul'r of girls.
They seemed niiv enough t;ivls and
Bhe had a good time. Hut when she
met them down in New York they
diden't know herfrom a laldiit. Sh
afterwards heard iliat they s; id lier
father was a storekeeper.
And she had a "ood civ at the
crueltv of woiiKh iu general. Sh.
said she would not treat a dog tint
way!
But she came home and was visit
ing at a house where a girl was win k
ing for her living. She and the
gills and other g;ns at the h his -had
a good time on afternoon to
gether. And then a tew days laui
the proud storekeeper's daughter
sailed down :owu in in-r I'.utYy white
duds and passed thi girl she had
met a few days before and cut lu-r
head. Could she le speaking m
every hired girl she met on the street?
Why, of course not. And tin sec
ond girl went home and had a good
cry. And she Aoulden't treat a d g
that way.
And she went to a dance in the
country, where they moved the things
out from the front room and the
kitchen, and put the tiddler and th-caller-off
iu the bed room door. And
she met a bigfooted Dutch country
girl, who danced on her h 'els and
threw the boys arouul like sacks of
flour. And the country girl thought
the city girl with her big hat and
town clothes vas just the sweetest
thing out of heaven. And w hen
the country girl came to town look
ing like a fright one Saturday night
she ran into the city girl and her
chum from the West Side on parade
with a dapper little clerk and a pret
ty looking tin-horn gambler whom
all the girls at the shirt waist dance
said was "iust dead swell." Aud do
you think the town girl epoke to the
big-foot country girl with her funny
' clothes on?
Not on your tintype. She turned
her face the other way and she and
the other girl and the boys sailed by
prouder than a peacock. Aud so i
goes. Cruelty and vanity stahbiug
their wav through the world. Worn
en are worse than men. Men accept
one another for what they are really
worth. A rich man. who has hon
estly earned his money, thinks noth
ing of talking to some one's hired
man. The railroad brakeman and
the railroad president have relations
that their wives never could assume
. providing that their wives are
fools. A man is proud of the fact
that he has worked with his hands
and come up in the world. There
was a woman at the Federation of
Clubs last spring who was once head
waiter at the Whitlev, and though
she was a cultivated, honest woman
be was ashamed of it, and if the
Gazette had printed thi fact t the
time the federation would have mob
bed the office.
Now vhy? If her husband had
made money, he would have been
proud of his rise. Women are fun
ny. This a funny world.
Pulse Tells Aire And Sex.
How old are you? ask your pulse.
The human pulHe has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats faster
than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de
crease. It has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex of a
person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in case of a girl and 150 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or fire the pulse beats will have fall
en respectively to 110 and 100.
Maidens' and youths' pulse average
95 and 90. Mature men and wo
men average (SO aud 85. Elderly
men and wo nen hare an wverage of
60 aud 50. An old woman's rarely
if ever, sinks below 50, but among
old men a pulse beat below 50 is
quite common. There are however,
great variations consistent with
health. Napoleon's pulse is said to
have beaten only 44 times a minute.
Reflection of a Bachelor.
When a girl pretends she doesa't
like candy it's a sign she is trying to
grow thin.
The trouble with kissing a girl un
der an umbrella is she screams if it
drops down her neck.
A woman is hardly ever hap pily
married unless her husband will tell
her he doesen't believe anybody else
conld dress as well on so little money.
After a man has had his engage
ment broken off he can afford even
an automobile.
When a man is making all sorts of
f ices at himself in a mirror he usual
ly isn't crazy, only shaving.
A girl's idea of being boll is to for
get to look daggers at a man who
gives her his seat m a street car.

demonstration of the practicality of
t he invention which wae made in;
Ijimi on nn May under th 'auspices
of the Uoyal Society appears to have;
been eirnely successful.
We are tid that, the inventor. Mr. 1

for re.irlv thirtv Years in the seirch
of an improved ln-ih-l of tr.ietion j
which should abate tne fucuon, to
cope with which so larg a propor
tion of power generated by a locotno-
tive has to expend. It has lone !
been iecngniz"d that a ear perfectly i
lma eel on a single rail would pre
sent a solution of problem, but the
vious dithcultv wis to assure the
stability of the ear's balance. This.
as we have said. M. liiiKNNAX his
doi.e by an application of thepiinei
pal of the gyroscope, wherebvacar
running on a single tract or wire,
balances itself automatically, no
matr. r how nnu-h one side may seem
to tie overloaded. We are assured .
that a ear moved by gyrostatic energy j
aud running on a monorail retains i
its balance at any rate of speed up
to two miles a minute, and also
when it is standing still: that it can
turn sharp corners and climb steep
inclines, and that so greit is the
uautitv of stored up o.vei in the
flywheels they will run, even if the
driving current be cut off,, with snf
ticient ie!ocity to impart stability to
the vehicle for several hours The
astonishing merits of this invention
seem hot to be merely theoretical,
b it it is alleged can be demonstrated
at any nioni'ut on an ordinary rail.
We are even informed that a car
moved by gyrostic action can run on
a crooked rail laid owr uneven
ground without danger of derail
ment. If all the claims put forward foi
this new machine can be made good
the railway industry of the world
is on the eve of revolution. New

How to Make a KusterBrown Dull.
Ooe of the most attractive ddis
to children is the old-fashiontd rag
doll, dressed in a Buster-Brown suit
A young woman in New Y'ork has
made a number of these dolls for
her young friends and has found
them popular. A nittern for a rag
doll may be bought for. ten cent's.
After cutting out, sewing up, and
stuffing the doll, cover the face with
white kid the arm-piece of an old
glove answers admirably and paint
the features with oil-paint, thinned
with a little turpentine. A Buster
Brown wig may be bought at a
saiall price. The suit is best made
of white and red striped denim, and
a pattern is obtainable, or may be
cut by deft lingers, using a picture
of Buster Brown as a model. The
belt, shoes, and socks may be
bought at almost any store. Mar

Chew What You Know
! (now WEiat You Are
There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown where the
best tobacco grows in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS
and others of the Reynold's brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
theflavorand they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along one chewer makes other
chewers until the fact is now es
tablished that there are many more

K lO.Nter's ae is determined by the
si;:e of I'.is spurs. If they are lonj, ;

S utton on me ankle where the spurs
will come later, he is a young biid.
IUuks are invariably judged by
the und-r lip of the bill. If a dress- j
ed duck will sustain his weight by
his under bill, lay it back and try
uujthei. for there is no telling how
old it is: certainly too old to be ral
tender. Hut if the bill snap easily,
;t is a you ii bird.
Gu-l 1 lets are told by their spurs,
the age of the turkey being deter-,
miaou by the length of its beard.
Aside from the test applied to
duck- there is one infallible rule
w:i:cL i.m:i bo applied with safety in
all cases. The back part of the
tie.tsibone can be bent easily if a
young fowl. If it is sharp aud hard
and refuses to yield on pressure from
the thumb, it is an old bird.

About and
Chewing
chewers and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first cold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
jet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPP3 is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
pries ; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, stim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to
bacco lovers. All imitations con
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hid z ' poor tobacco improp
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco 's sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.
