Easy Way In Which a Domtstie Run
ture Was AverUd.
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.
