They cultivate an Icy manner as a hall mark of respectability. Dont' be afraid of being pleasant. It cannot hurt youf and will be good as a tonic for all you inept. What, though you do think yourself su perior to most of your acquaintances is it good taste to placard your belief by a freeing countenance ? There Is nothing like affability to conceal one'a family skeletons. A haughty manner. Is a direct bid for the rest of the world to rake up an cestral secerts that you thought bur ied under a mound of gold. The secret of many a homely girl's success Is an affable manner that makes every one she meets feel wel come. Be affable. If you are not pleas ant becaues It comes natural, be so because it Is the only manner that Is well bred. The shyest person csn cultivate affability. She will be surprised to' find that the effect not only helps her own shyness, but Is a regular magnet as a friend-winner. If you want to be affably take an interest In everyone you meet.

Everyone In T^sf htagton wishes him many hsppy returns Hold Yonr Breath ? T ?? ? Hold your breath and catch an ordinary honey bee tn your hand, and you will find to your surprise that It is anable to sting, and so long as you csn hold your breath you may hold thfe bee without harm, but Immediately upon catching your breath the stinger will penetrate tne akin and pain ensuee. Here is a pointer from the New York Tribune whleh may serve you well In time of trouble; but before placing absolute reliance upon the claim, you might suggest to the other fellow that he give it a trial. This may embody the secret of im munity from bee-sting which some people seem to enjoy. Here is the explanation: the bee has not sufficient strength to drive its stinger through th? skin; but It can force It into one of the open pores wheh. being so numerous and rlose together, can readily be found by the point. When the breath is held, therefore, the akin becomes In vulnerable to the attack of the bee. because of the closing of the pores bui*?mmedlately upon release of the breath the pores open and the sting er enters. The Tribune further says: "This is a scientific fact of great value in connection with colds, since It follows that the body is mora ex~fted to Ihe effect of cold when the pores are open than when closed. "In leavlag a warm room for the .open. If the breath is he'.d as long as possible the colder atmosphere will not be fell so sharply, nor will I the change of temperature of the body be so sudden; but the body will be given an interval Jh which to adjust itself to the coldeu tem i perature, snd thus avoid the harm ful effect of a sudden change."

Chicago, Sept. 10.?A terse note Of resignation from the Hamilton Club of which he had been a mem ber many years, was the answer made here today by United States Senator William Lorimer to the ac tion of the club president, Jonn H. Batten, In withdrawing his Invita tion to the Roosevelt banquet Thurs day night. The invitation was dlthdrawn at the demaud of Colonel Roosevelt, who refused to attend a banquet at which Senator Iiorlmer also wss a guest. May Refuse Acceptance While Senator Lorimer urged that his resignation be accepted Imme diately. It Is said tonight that the Senator's friends on the club board of governors probably wll 1 refuse to vote the acceptance. Together with the resignation to day news of correspondence from President Batten to Senator Lori mer developed, showing that the Junior Illinois Senator also was to have been guest' of honor, and it was the hope that the club would make the dinner notable as a har monious occasion where al Ifscttons of the Republican party had broken bread together. Three Invitations Swic. At least three invitations were sent Lorimer, each urging him to attend the banquet, and to the latit of these he sent his acceptance. Al ter thin, on the day of the banquet, rame'the sudden recall of the Invita tion. The note of resignation was writ ten after a conference of the Sena tor with a number of hi* friends and at first was believed to be a cue which would be followed by a num ber of his admirers in tho Hub. La ter it was decided by his friends to refuse to accept the resign*:lon. KooscvHt Hear- tl?e News Pittsburg.
