Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES, SATURDAY, JUSE 11,18, ; J 10 aild svich circumstance, aud the man who can listen to these matters with true, sincere and unaffected interest and re-spond i'.itelligently, who can remember i and resume the conversation of his own accord, and say, "I have thought a great I deal about what you were telling me, and it seems to mo" this man will be popular among women, will outrank tlie handsome man, the wealthy man, the showy man, will in fact BBsume the po-sition among women which he had who so irritated my friend quoted a while ago as saying: "What do all the womeu see to ad-mire iu that followi'" west, emiiing "upon a thousand other flowers in his course, and meeting her patient morning smile with an unabashed trow. "WU, if it isn't handsome men, who re tho men that succeed with your most unaccountable sex?" asked a friend to whom I had been airing the above views, and I devoted a wakeful hour or two that night to considering the ques-tion, coming to this conclusion: , The man who succeeds best with wo-men must not know too much about them, but must greatly desire to know more. There is no incentive to interest like mystery, and to the average man there is no object in nature so mysterious as the nature, the motives, the instincts of a woman. The really delightful man knows as little about these matters as the noble savage does of a watch. ' When the first missionary showed the first Otaheitan his chronometer and told bini that it was alive and talked to him the Otaheitan worshiped both man and watch, and everybody was very comfort-able. Later on, when the missionary's uneasy conscience made him open the watch, show its wheels and springs, show how it was wound up and made to keep time, the Otaheitan felt he had been hum-bugged and at once proceeded to eat the missionary and spoil the watch by treat-ing it with too little instead of too great respect. . Moral: Never tell how the watch goes. But beside a great curiosity and inter-est in women the successful man must have a profound admiration for their fault and foibles, as well as for their charms. I have seen men who were too just, too logical, too mathematical to suc-ceed with a sex which is fond of setting its own fancies above the narrow restric-tions of such ideas. A man may playfully try to make a woman see that her course is opposed both to law and reason, but if she de-clines to see anything of the sort he must not appear or indeed feel shocked or dismayed, but gracefully concede the ' point in question. Most women like to be lectured a little, and argued with a little, but they hate to be proved in the wrong. A man must not take the tone of a pedagogue, even if he is asked to teach a pretty woman common law or Euclid. I remember once asking a man to show me something about navigation, and after some bewildering information he began working out a problem in his book. "VtTiat is it? Show mel" said I, won-dering what absorbed him so. "Oh, you m you wouldn't under-stand" murmured he, with his whole mind in the figures he was scratching down. Does any woman suppose I ever liked - that man again? Besides interest and admiration, and delighted tolerance of her foibles, the successful man must have an excellent memory and ready wit. Many a woman has felt her regard for a man rise from very temperate to summer heat by per-ceiving that he remembered her words of a year ago, or the fancy she had once expressed for a particular perfume, a flower, a color, a "fad" of any sort. . A very ugly man made himself charm-ing to me the other day by gently taking a sandalwood fan from the hand of a lady sitting next me, and while chatting with her and playing with the fan con-triving to get out the rivet in the handle so that the whole thing collapsed, and he, with ten thousand apologies, put it in his pocket to be repaired. . "I remembered your saying at the Paris exposition that the smell of sandal-wood made you ill," said he to me pres-ently, "and I am going out now to put this in my overcoat pocket." . When he came back he smelled of raioko, and I do not at all doubt, when the fan was mended and he carried it home, that he said something very charm-ing to the pretty woman who owned it; but nevertheless he said and did the right thing at the right moment for me, and I always like to see him approach. Again, a man must know something and know how to show that he knows it. Women adore power in a man. It is one of the innate instincts of the sex. Among savages and the classes which come next to them in our civilization the strongest and biggest man is the one who can take his choice among the women of his circle, and in the very most exalted planes of the highest civilization the man who can command the respect, the at-tention, the obedience of his fellow men is he whose homage raoBt delights wo-man. A man who is the jest and the butt of ether men, or even he who is treated with a good humored familiarity border-ing on contempt, by his fellows, will per-haps arouse in women's breasts a certain tolerating acceptance, a half pity, half amusement, very like that bestowed upon the court jestor or their own pet dwarf by the court ladies of the olden time, but he never will command more. "I don't value what nobody else val-ues,"' said a woman the other day in speaking of one of these court jesters, who was disposed to be very attentive to her, and I replied: "My dear, you are enunciating one ol the great dogmas of our faith." ' But after all the very most attractive trait a man can possibly possess, and the one surest to make him a universal fa-vorite among women, is intensity, A blusi, washed out, bored and languid man never can be very much liked or de-sired by women who have to fight against all those tendencies in them-selves. They want a man to be all alive, to care very much about things, to put his whole soul into the question of where one's new picture should be hung, or whether Russian tea or Soman punch is the more refreshing. One likes to lean back in the corner of the sofa or a comfortable chair and watch one of these vivid and earnest creatures as he rearranges some ornament on the etagere, or demonstrates with pencil and naper Just where the boats lay in the lato regatta, or enthusiastically describes the ?'close shave" he had in driving his tandem in the park yesterday. ' And with all his enthusiasm and earn-estness he must be capable of instantly perceiving when his energy is becoming a little oppressive, and change to quietude and gentleness with perfect good humor and perfect contentment Another thing all women demand and very few women, or for that matter men either, obtain, is a true and earnest sym-pathy. The man who succeeds best is he who can put himself out of the question and listen and divine and meet one's confidences half way and "really and truly care" for one's troubles or perplex-ities or loneliness, or even one's fantasies. Most women love dearly to talk of themselves, to discuss and analyze their own character, to tell their own expert-- ! 1'iu-es- , and to aik what the confidant thinks they ought to have done under such ' A TWO STORV HOUSE.

Brazilian Co, The bulk of the entire coffee prod-uct comes from Brazil, which has a peculiarity of ir own. These coffees are harsh and rank, as compared with the milder kinds. It was estimated that Brasdl once furnished 83 per cent of the entire coffee product of the world. There have been of late years one or two partial failures of the crop in Brazil, which account for the high price of cof-fee here. You will probably remember that coffee was very low from '84 to '87; in fact the prices were so very low that Brazilian planters did not have the ber-ries picked, it bringing them in debt. In consequence, they allowed their planta-tions to run down, which in part ac-counts for the present shortage, Chica-go Herald. tzr 7HT PAT ZREInTX 5Wheii You Can Buy 4 Lots insss Davis, Sharp & Stringe CORNER OF SECOND WEST Am TENTH SOUTI On small Cash Payment, and within 30 days after Electric Car Line, already commenced, on Second West, is completed, sell 3 Lots for Profit sufficient to build nn remaining Lot.

A I.sr.jr Dog. There is a dog iu Chester, Pa., which will never walk when there is a chance to jump on a street car and ride. He is a black Newfoundland. Much of his time is spent at the stables. Although his home is only tvo squares away lie never walkH to it, but waits for a car go-ing that way, on which ho jumps. He often goes off on a pleasure trip, riding to the different sections of the city on different cars, always sitting on the curbstone until the car he wants comes along, showing remarkable intelligence in allowing to pass him those cars which branch off in directions contrary to the one he wishes to take. Pittsburg Dis-patch. An Elaborate Light. A novel arrangement for securing an abundance of soft light together with perfect ventilation has been installed in an opera house in Chicago. The device is, in form, similar to a large parasol, eighteen feet in diameter, the perfora-tions in the cover permitting the escape of the vitiated atmosphere. The rod and handle are formed to permit the use of gas jets if neceaeary, while from the tips of each rib incandescent bulbs hang, giving a perfect and powerful circle of light. Another feature is the use of in-candescent bulbs, arranged in a wire net, to indicate the name of the company playing. Chicago Letter. A Woman's Way. A woman wage earner who works from 8 in the morning until 6 at night and occasionally finds herself too weary-t- o sleep, takes down her hair at 10 o'clock, brushes it vigorously, washes her face, neck and arms with lukewarm water, takes a crash towel bath and goes to bod, with a hot water bag at her feet. The light in her room is so ar-ranged that she can, after reading for a few moments some light, pleasant work, extinguish it without rising, aud she usually drifts into dreamland in less than half an hour. Chicago Tribune. i Tho ftermans in Paris. Frenchmen are waking np to the fact that the German colony in beloved Pai is is rapidly increasing. There are nearly 86,000 of them in other words, twelve persons out of every thousand of the population are Germans. The total has doubled in the last ten or eleven years, and it is more than double that of the British, who are just under 15,000 strong. The English have their own quarters, but the Germans distribute themselves over every arrondissement. Paris Let-ter. ' A Good Dig-- . A colored man named Joseph Saun-ders was employed to dig a well for a farmer near Augusta, Me. The farmer beat him down to half wages, but after going ten feet down the digger struck a jug with $700 in gold in it and took a skip. The farmer then dug twenty-tw- o feet more, nearly broke his back, and didn't hit anything but stones. Detroit Free Press. The scoring of the bores of modern oannon by the new powders in use is claimed to be due to the fact that upon ignition all of the powder is not turned to gas, some of it remaining in a fluid state. It is this latter which does the scoring by being thrown with such force against the metal of the gun that the re-sulting action is very similar to that of a sand blast for cutting glass. Comfortable Couchvg. Comfortable couches which show no woodwork are so inexpensive now that no one need he without one or more. They are for Bale either simply covered with cre-tonne or left plain, and draped with a Bag-dad or other lurga rug. An old fashioned sofa which had been consigned to the gar-ret was recently seen by the writer, and it had been so transformed that it looked like an extremely modern couch. The back hod been unscrewed and discarded, and an up-holsterer bad added new springs and a stout white clot li, for which lie charged S. Some handsome cretonne, fift y inches wide and a trifle over three yards long, Imd been converted Into a pre'nd by simply hemming the raw edges. This was laid over and pushed in at the place where the slope of the head joins the main body of thecouch.no tacking whatever being necessary. Two large pillows of tho same material plaeed against the wall make a really handsome piece of furniture out of one which was decidedly unsightly before. There is a combination chair and table, which as a chair has a round wooden buck, with a scat covered in tapestry. The table is formed by simply turning t he back over to rest upon the arms. This piutw of fnrni-tnr- e is suitable either for the hall or the card room. Art Amateur. J. Bryan Grimes, of Pitt county, N. C, had planted thirty-fiv- e acres in Irish po-tatoes, and one night when he thought there was going to be frost to kill his potatoes, which were twelve inches high, he built log heaps about his field and kept them burning during the night, and next morning his potatoes were untouch-ed by the frost It ia said thelaw regulating child labor in the factories of Now York is generally observed. The law prohibits tho em-ployment of children under 13 years of age, and limits the labor of all minors to sixty hours each week, Tho measure was not intended as a hardship upon employers. lli'uss Ornuiuentt. , Small brass ornaments cast or impressed with the dio urs now beiug applied to furniture in tlio tsliapo of rosettes and kindred forms, being attached not only so as to contrast with tho wood, but to em-phasize constructional parts. This is the revival of a fashion dating half century since and which long previously prevailed. The startling effect of this brilliant fire gilt surface is pleasing to tbe eye, coming well in contrast both with light and dark woods. Separately, these ornaments are umneauing, bat are made attractive by the way in which they ro displayed. Some of the quaiutnras of old furniture is due to their use, as well as to occasional relief designs worked out of thin sheets of brass, which take occasionally the placo of carvings for centers cf mahogany and ash panels.

Tba soft summer epbyr her fair cheek caressing Would toss from her brow her bright hair while it played. Around her la chorus, etrtb's troubles unheeding, The birds sang the freedom and gladness they felt; While humbly before her so earnestly pleading Her lover in sadness now ardently knelt. His questioning eyes her half turned face vers searching, His answer to read In her sad. perplexed look, A circlet of gold he upheld the while urging, And into his own her shy Angers he took.
