The Messenger Waited for an Answer, That's the Benson. Every one has admired the sujiorb resl dmire, 1)09 Faralono street. It belongs or rather did to Tai-noll MrOorken, tho capitalist. About throo months ago lie resolved to take his family on a European tour. When alaoiat to leave his otllce for tho train he sent a messenger boy out to his residence with a not, which ho thought might possibly reach his wife before she left the house. The boy wna instructed to wait for an answer bear that in mind "wait for nn answer." It Is supposed that the said boy reached his destination some time early in the fol lowing week. At nil events, as ho did not return McCorken forgot the rirctim stance nnd proceeded east with his fam ily. McCorken wn not n superstitions ninn, but he had hardly been insulated into lam laorth by the Pullman jiorter be fore he was filled with a presentiment of evil. In vatn he endeavored to shake off the foreboding of disaster that depressed him. It followed liltn to London, Paris, Switz erland, everywhere. Worn to a shadow, he finally turned his face homeward. As he stepped from the ferry on his arrival here he sprang into a carriage and was rapidly driven to his dwelling, which he approached with u feeling of inexplicable terror. As he nseended his steps he beheld calmly slumbering laefore the door a mes senger boy MoCorkeu's note of three months back still protruding from his pocket. lie had been provided with a couple of blankets by the company, which also furnished-him with three cof fee and doughnut rations per diem. He was waiting for nn nuswerl With ft loud shriek the once happy capitalist fell to tho earth n ruined liiau. But why linger upon tho sad f;icts? Any clever school boy can in n few hours figure the amount of the District Messen ger Company's bill against McCorken, in cluding "car fni-o both ways. " That mis erable victim's estate is now in the hands of theslierilT, and according to a compu tation inndo by that gentleman with a piece of chalk on the almshouse fence ho is still l,000,042.2:l in debt to the com pany, although there is sonae talk of the superintendent throwing oft the odd 23 cents. San Francisco Examiner. Here Is a Sensible Women. There is a sensible wonaau up town there may bo more who are sensible in this respect, but this ono stands out, iu the writer's acquaintance, as a rarity who instructs her two daughters as regu larly in the science of shopping as she teaches them cooking and healthful liv ing. I consider shopping a science, " she ways, "and an imjmrtaut one in the house hold economy. How one respects a clear headed, sensible woman who knows how to shop rapidly, economically, and well, and how few such one meets. I take my girls with me in nay rounds of buying, teach them the different fabrics and dis crimination in the choice as regards the use required. Nobody taught mo this; I acquired my knowledge by a long line of mortifying and expensive experiences, which I have determined my daughters shall bo saved from. "I have taught them to avoid bargain counters as they would a plague and never to be drawn into the pushing, jam ming crowd which strives to buy a pair of gloves for OS cents at an expense of 25 cents worth of vital force and self re spect, to say nothing of time wasted and the possibility, after all, that they have paid 98 cents for a 75 cent pair. I have taught them, too, that the best is the cheapest, which does not imply always the most fashionable nor the most expen sive. Flimsy, ill made articles I consider almost immoral the influence of a pair of honest shoes or a yard of first quality cloth I think outranks many a sermon. "My girls have had their personal al lowance since they wcro 15, and they have learned to use it most judiciously. And I am never afraid they will drive to tlao dry goods shop for 'a paper of darn ing needles,' as the girl in the story did. " New York Times. A Filth? Ilablt. One of the vilest habits tolerated in the United States publicly and privately is wholly unknown in other countries. It is obtrusive expectoration. The disgust ing vice is on the decline in large cities, biat it is still too prevalent, and persons in authority ought to insist upon its repres sion. Smokers who can not smoke with out making themselves offensive ought always smoke in strict seclusion. Men riding in public vehicles pay for trans portation, but it does not include the right to defile floors, soil the garments of other persons in the vehicle, and sicken the stomuchs of the sensitive. The be spattering of sidewalks, railway stations, foyera, and other places with salivary discharges is as foul as it is unnecessary. Conductors, janitors, and porters ought discreetly remind men guilty of this bar barity that it must be stopped. If a quiet protest will not be heeded let the police man be called. Secretions of the respiratory, salivary, or digestive organs are properly deposited in pocket handkerchiefs if they can not be more satisfactorily disposed of. Men who can not afford pocket handkerchiefs should receive gifts of them from their friends. A vigorous and persistent effort to stop this filthy practice in public at least should be made and kept up, Chi cago Herald. Dad Temper Mostly- Involuntary, Many people consider that "bad tem per" is entirely voluntary on the part of the person who displays it. As a matter of foot, it is often to a very great extent involuntary, and no one is more angry at it than the bad tempered person himself. Of course every one, whether he is born with a bad temper or has acquired one from habit, or has been visited with one as the result of disease or injury, should at least try to control it. But his friends should also bear in mind that bad temper may be, and often is, an affliction to be sympathized with not an offense to be punished.
