Show tbs queerest cranks in our village, men with all sorts of wheels in their heads. Sneers and Jokss at another's expense are dangerous among neighbors. It will not mend it to say, "I was only fooling." Keep clear of practical Joking if you would be valued as a neighbor. Some men may do it, and escape being disliked; but they are few. Neighbor Jim respects all men, so far as by any stretch of charity he can see anything to respect. My neighbor, contrary to what you might expect of so papular a man, rarely does expensive kindnesses, lie cannot, for he is a sick man and not having strength to spare he has not ptirchased our love by striking acts of service. His unusual pecullurliies I have hinted at. We have, all done him services. That is another reason why we like him, for he never forgets a kindness, nor shows himself wo have soma of NEIGHBOR JIM. i There are aomi things about my Neighbor Jim that I want to tell. Not that I like to talk about any neigh-bor- a, but Jim should be talked about. Jim started in, ao far aa our street la concerned, unfortunately. He was out of business and bad to taka a rest accordingly. He moved Into that famous "board-fenc- e house," that is, the richest and meanest man in our village put up a board fence directly on the line between his laud and the next dwelling, ao that be shut out the view from the windows across hla Nearown fair lawns and flower-bed- s. ly every village, alas! has sooner or later such a spectacle of bad neighbor and spleen. Jim took that house with its side windows all blank view. It was empty most of the time and finally the owner put the rent so low that Jim could take it. Vis all wondered who he could be, a stranger to us, and what sort of a bead of a family to subject his pretty wife and children to that darkened dwelling. But -rinxide of six weeks that board fence was down! Yes, actually down! Jim had really knocked it down with his smile. Neighbor Jim always wears a Everybody cheerful, genial smile. likes to meet him in the morning as he starts down the street. People like to hear him say There is so much cheer in the tone. He alwsys asks after your friends and family, and he knows them by name after he has once heard them. No living man of us ever heard Neighbor Jim telling any of his own troubles. Ho never complains of the hard times, nor the weather. He never got off a yarn about why he lost his situation, nor how be got down. We found out what little ws ever knew from other sources than from him. Neighbor Jim never looked on the shady side of any man's character. You could sit in the car seat with him on the way to New York, and you would hear no unkind word from him of anybody. I asked him, one day, if he never entertained an adverse Judgment of any man or thing. He said, "Often. But I keep all that stuff to myself. And I try to forget the evil that I bear of a man simply forget it" Neighbor Jim listens when you talk to him. He seems interested. That pleases. Few are wise enough to know that even one grunt of indifference from a neighbor whom you accost and begin to talk to in a store, will dull the edge of neighborly deaf feeling. To seem abstracted, and dumb and rude, even once, is to be voted a boar by the man to whom you show It. You may be tired, may be oppressed with care; but when your neighbor begins to Joke and chat, you must listen. It helps you, too. to forget your cares. Neighbor Jim is a famous listener. He makes you feel that he takes an Interest in you. I believe half the men in our village bava at one time or another confided their troubles to him. Ha has, however, burdened no man with any of his own troubles. Neighbor Jim Is popular with the small boy. He always speaks to a boy, not tor familiarly, but In a gentle, courteous way. He never told any boys father unpleasant complaints. "IH tell your father has made more trouble between neighbors than any other one thing. Our neighbor never turns round at the Academy of Music to stare reproof at a young fellow who is whispering too loudly, or giggling with his sweetheart Jim Just lets them go on. Jim lets some one else do the frowning. Some one else always will, if you wait a little, and you, like Neighbor Jim, will escape being disliked by the young things. Nor did I ever hear that Jim was free with his opinions as to the desirability of any match between young people, He always seems to think that If "Good-morning- ." SUBSTITUTE FOR CLASS. New Traualurrat Fabrir for I'm as Skylight! and Vault Coitn. The translucent frabric recently brought out by a New England firm to take the place of glass skylights has, after a continuous experimental service of seven years been pronounced to be In as good condition as when first put in place. The material has many advantages claimed for It, chief of which is that by Its employment In train shedB, freighihouses and similar buildings having skylights of large areas, the light weight of the material permits of a aimpl'3, inexpensive and light form The Joints of skylight construction. are made water-tigby a special form of construction employed with this material. The fabric la said to have marked advantages over glass in being practically unbreakable, and for this reason leaks on account of breakage or cracking are not experienced. The translucent fabric consists of a transparent material spread over steel wire cloth, with twelve meshes per inch, which gives the panels a flexible and elastic property, permitting adjustment to any shape that the roof structure may take owing to the expansion and contraction of the framework. The manufacturers state the the skylights mentioned as having been in use for over seven years have never leaked during that time, nor have they cost anything for repairs.

It ia not every man turned 60 with a forty-fiv- e inch chest who can boast of a waist of not more than forty Inches If he occasionally appears stouter It la because he likes his clothes to be loose and easy. This Is especially the case with those particular suits known as "lounge suits. For these he never under any circumstances pays more than $40.

There ia likewise a regular and fixed price of $12.50 for his trousers, which under no pretext whatsoever, save In the case of uniforms, is exceeded. The prince has a horror of evening dress, which he considers hideous. He prefers evening dress to uniforms, however, and uses twelve suits of these a year at a fixed price of $50 a suit.
