For a young Peruvian to be seen on the street with a girl, other than from his immediate family, no matter how well he night be known to her, would involve either a marriage or coffee and pistols for two. If you are not content with gazing, you had beet follow the cus- tom and purchase as many photographs of her as you may desire from the stock kept on hand in the shops. If you hesi- tate to pay the price asked you as a for- eigner, you must be prepared to meet the indignation of the clerk that one of Limas fairest daughters should be cheap- ly held. Perhaps, as the senor desires t -he picture merely as souvenirs, be would be satisfied to accept others at lower prices—lower because they are ostensibly deeper prints. But Senorita X. wear a vacuous expression, while Senorita Y ;quints markedly, and so you pay twice over for your original choice for the sake of honoring her pretty face. And it is .considered an honor, for a girl's standing in the community is judged by the num- ber of her pictures that are sold—a sort of continuing plebiscite to decide on ''T'he Most Popular Young Lady in Our Midst" From "Famous Arteries of Tra- wl," by Aubrey Lanston, in The Bohem- ian for September.

A young man who got a clerkship in a downtown office was called back by his employer after the terms of service had been agreed upon, says the New York Sun. "There's one thing I forgot to men- tion," said the employer. "When you come to work Monday morning bring a pair of carpet or felt slippers along. All the clerks who come into direct commu- nication with me wear them. I can't stand the sound of a footfall. In most things I am not nervous, but the scrap- ing or squeaking of a heavy shoe upsets me so that I amu fit for nothing the whole day long." Before leaving the office the young man observed that most of the other clerks were shod in soft -soled slippers, so, strange as the idea seemed, he, too, on the following Monday, joined the noiseless 'brigade. THE MAN IN THE MOOJN. Curious Legend About the Origin of That Being. There is a quaint tradition about how the belief in the man in the moon orig- inated that is worth retelling. Like so many of these beliefs, says The Washington Star, it began way back in Bible times, and in quite an- other dress. By many nations the old man is supposed to be the one who first made his appearance in the Book of , Numbers (Chapter xv., verso 32.) Then he was found by the children of Israel ` gathering sticks on the Sabbath day..' He was taken before Moses and eon demised to death. He was taken later outside the camp and stoned until he died. One would think that was puni,eb- ment enough even for so awful a oris�,1e, but superstition took him in ,hare' at that point and consigned hien teethe moon, where, with a, bunilh o jstieke on liis `tired old back, he was(MAN* ;to ;climb forever up the shining liiII and never reach the top. The story goes that his faithful dogs were permitted to shire his fate, and if you look carefully when the night is- clear and dark you will see the pair toiling away upon their end4 less climb. The face of the old man also grew out of the old-time tradition, but the figures are quite plain if one puts on the glasses of imagination.

The dififculty of impaneling a jury in the early courts of Wisconsin may be seen from a story related by a lawyer of that State, afterward a Senator of the United States, according to the New York Times. A Juuge Irvin was on the Bench, and a murder trial was pending. G. T. Long, familiarly known as "Lucy" Long, was . under sheriff. There was difficulty in getting a jury that knew nothing about the, facts of the case. The regular panel had been exhausted, and the special venire had beer issued and was finally returned. "W411, Mr. Long," asked the Judge, "have you at last secured , a sufficient number of jurymen who know nothing about this ease?" "Yes, your Honor," replied Long; "six of them know nothing about this case, and the other six know nothing at all:. Old Man Borrow.

(Toronto Saturday Night.) It is said that Lord and Lady Aberdeen still cherish affection for this country. The story is told of a Canadian visitor to Dublin who the other day let slip some slighting remark about "you English people." "Please don't forget," interrupted Lady Aberdeen, "we are Canadians." And she added: "You sflp my husband is allowed no privilege over here. In Canada he has a vote being a Canadian farmer (by virtue of his Okarie:an fruit farm); in England ho is classed. with minors, women and paupers, and he doesn't like it.

He would simply ask the greatest of real estate landlord in the city has rtany camels he owned. When Richardson met the Tuaregs and was entertained by one of their chiefs the traveller was told by his host that he wished to make Queen Victoria the finest Present that any one could live her, and so, he asked his guest to taker, back to her a meharl, which is a camel trailed to fleetness and the most costly of Sahattan camels.

Nursing sorrow is raising sin. You cannot fatten folks on phrases. There are no friendships without faith. The poverty of life is due to the things we miss. The love of truth goes before likeness to truth. Ornamental piety usually adorns an empty heart. Every life may be known by the way it leads. God is not in the closet if He is not on the street. The beautiful life wastes no time look- ing for a mirror. When faith gets to dreaming there son is omething doing. , A great deal of piety is only a game of trying to dodge the Almighty. If you have faith you will see some- thing glorious in every face. The poorest way to make an impres- sion is to give up to depression.
