The troubles which are brought to a parish priest for solution are almost infinite In their variety. In a certain rrusluu village, says Friedrlch August Dressier in "Moltke In His .Home," an old woman came to ber spiritual adviser and proposed a separation from her husband. , "If he would beat me." . she said, that would be all right; that would show that be was really my man. Bnt be calls me worse names; be calls me a 'subject r I will not stand for that!" "So, subject, ehT said the priest "Yes, that is bad. It is a bad word. 1 did not think he would say that But are you sure you understood? Did he say 'subject' or 'object?'" Tbe old woman shook her bead. She was not certain. The priest smiled se renely. "Ah, I tnougut so,- ne saia. "how, l am sure inai is von ne caueu you. 'Subject would have been very bad. It would be hard to forgive that but 'object,' pooh, It la nothing. If at all. It flatters one." , " The woman laughed happily. "And, then, I need not leave him? I can still keep him for my man?" she asked eagerly. "Certainly," said her mentor, "and rejoice. "Object that is very fine, very! I waa sure be did not say 'sub ject!" She went away entirety satisfied, and the priest heard of no more dis agreements between the couple. PIPES AND CIGARS. Smoking Said to Serve ae an Index to Character. A person who smokes a cigar with the label band on la always a vulga rian; a person who displays two inches of ash adhering to a cigar Is generally ostentatious; a person who selects a cigar because it Is sprinkled with light spots Is an Ignoramus who credits any popular report, and a person who chews up tbe end of a cigar or a ciga rette is more often than not of an Irascible or peevish nature. So says the London Tribune, wblcb adds: Smoking Is also a great test of natu ral courtesy lu any individual. Ono can trace selfishness, boorlsbness, self assertlveneas, timidity or good temper in a smoker's demeanor in any mixed company. Judging upon the example of Mr. Kipling, It has been asserted that the man who knocks his pipe ashes out behind the parlor couch Is usually a genius. But this is a some what empty nsHcrtion, and at any rate it comprised a belief that la in nowise shnrcd ty housewives and landladies. As a concluding rule for dlagnoalng character by tobacco habits. It may be accepted that the best men smoke quietly and without oetentfltlon, offer you a good cigar without a prepara tory oration on Its cotit and merits and smoke their pipes and cigars out to the end. When a man Is concerned be cause bis friends are not smoking with him, be Is a person to be cultivated. DaUs Supplied. "ivm't wait for your opport'inltf- ma)l It." fv vm4 air.
