Where the scarlet lipped strawberry grow*
They gather the earliest snowdrops.

They toss the hay In the meadow.
They gather the elder blooms white.
They find where the dusky gropes purple
In the soft tinted October light
They Know where the apple* h ing I'lpe-st,
And are sweeter than Italy's wines.
They know where the fruit is the thickest
On tlie long, thorny blackberry vines
They gather ttie delicate sea weeds.
And build tiny castles of sand.

One of Chicago's old residents was tak
en sick the other day, and he was seri
ously ill, too. lie was not ready to die
and he asked that a leading physician be
summoned. When this physician came
in the old settler told him that he felt he
was going to die. Alter a careful exami
nation the phyßicin smiled encouraging
ly and tried to dissipate his patient's mor
t tuary ideas. "Why," ho argued, "you
are all right. You think you are going
v, to die, but your feet are not cold. You
ought to know that a man with warm
feet is not going to die." The old settler
regarded his physician contemptuously
for a few moments, and then said with
disgust in his voice: "Warm feet! What's
that got to do with it? Look at John
Itogers! He died with warm feet because
lie was burnedat the srake. Don't argue
with me on the question of feet tempera
ture!" The physician said nothing, but
the old settler recovered.—Chicago Her

A New Way to Earn One's Living.
Scholl tells a good story about a comic
singer who called the other day at the
manager's office of one of the principal
cafe chantants in Paris to see about
getting an engagement. "But let me
see," said the manager, I seem to know
your face. "Did you not sing at the Ver
non theatre last season?" "Yes." "But,
my poor fellow, you were a fearful
frost." "Yes; on purpose." "llow on
purpose?" "You see, the manager didn't
pay us. If I had sung well I should
have got nothing but applause. As 1
sang as wretchedly as I could, the people
bombarded me with apples, and I got
something to eat at least."—Pall Mall
Gazette.
Not a Matter of Choice.
Aunty—l cannot understand how girls
act the way they do nowadays. It's sim
ply awful. You spent two months at
Newport last 6umrner, and during that
time you were engaged to half a dozen
different men.
Sweet Girl—But, aunty, what else
could I do? I'd hardly get engaged to
on,e young man before his vacation would
be over, and he'd have to go back to the
city, and that's the way it went. It was
horrid.—New York Weekly.
Pomposity.
"I see some men in the world holding
themselves mighty high. On what? I
can't telll They are only men. God
made us all. And we're all mighty small
creatures when it comes down to indi
viduals. Individually we don't count
(much in the world. No man amounts to
a great deal by himself. Ho is dependent
on the others. Therefore ho has no occa
sion to feel better than anyono else."—

ISlulTeil on a Sure Thing.
There were two of the men in our gang
of Pennsylvania oil well drillers and
blasters who were constantly fooling
with the nitro-giycerine. They would
lake chances to make your hair stand on
end. and the trouble was they imperiled
the safety of many others. One of their
favorite pastimes was to get out after
noonday lunch and toss a two pound can
of siuif as far as they could heave it 1
more than once saw them stand fifty
f <ci apart, and on three or four occasions
saw the can miss their clutch and fall to
tlie earth Our foreman and all the
other men did a great deal of swearing
over this foolishness, and once the men
were discharged for it, bill tliey were
taken hack after a time, and as we grew
more used to the stuff we took more
chances
One day the men got out with their
can. and as tlie fun was about to begin
our foreman said
"lioys. that nonsense will be the death
of you yet."
"Bet you ten to five it won't." replied
one of thorn
"Yes, and I'll bet ten to one it won't,'
bluffed ihe other, as lie shook his wallet
at the foreman
The latter failed to cover, and as lie I
c antered off down the hill I followed j
i-.iiit We hod walked about 21)0 feel
we were suddenly lifted up and
thrown fiat to the earth, and then fol j
knveil a era;li which seemed to have I
nicked the continent As soon as we
iu'.! get up we ran back to tlie derrick |
or where tlie derrick was it had disap ,
pen ret 1, as well as our shanty, and on \
the site was a hole into which you could |
have dumped a cottage Not the flight- !
est scrap of the two can tossers could lie
found, and the foreman and 1 stood for
several minutes staring into the cavity
Then he suddenly slapped his leg. waved
his hand in disgust and growled

The French Aliffler.
[hiring the siege of Paris, in spite of j
the shells that sang overhead and of tlie i
Prussian sentinels on the lookout for a |
mark, a great many of these bold sports- |
men risked their lives outside the city j
fortifications ami went taquiner Ic goujon
on the hanks of the Seine. These ate the
enthusiastic anglers who count the days ;
and nights to the opening day, and who |
pass the off season in a state of settled
melancholy. These are the men who
know every inch of the river's banksand :
the holes in which the quarry lies hid, ;
and who stand motionless hour after j
hour, holding their breath, heedless of j
rain, wind and sun, half mesmerized by j
'ho gentle bobbing of the float on which
their eyes are fixed Tliey will pass tlie {
night under a haystack in order to so- j
euro at the first streak of dawn a good
place where some legendary bite had oc
curred and which they have carefully
ground-baited over night. Though a
careful man, the French fisherman never
sells the contents of his basket, lie fishes
for his family, and the proudest hour of
the day, .second only to the rapturous
moment of capture, is when he sees the
"friture" placed upon tlie table. The
gudgeon, tlie roach, the eel, the tench,
the barbel, the carp, the perch and the
pike are all welcome to the angler's paste
or maggot, for fly fishing lie considers
frivolous and as requiring a skill that is
out of place in so serious a pursuit. Hut
although the net has almost swept tlie
French rivers clear of fish, it is against
the modest angler that the law has ful
minated its edicts. The fisherman may
not make use of more than one lino, and
may only have one hook at tlie end of
that line; lie may not put his rod on the
ground, but must hold it in his hand; lie
is bound to leave the river at sunset and
may not begin to fish till sunrise.—All
the"Year Round.
Djelnj Hair.
. Ilair dyeing is not entirely a feminine
fad or vice, whichever you like tocallit. It
is exceptional for men to take tho trouble
and suffer tlie annoyance and even pain
which continual bleaching and dyeing
entail Rut some men are guilty of the
weakness, and they are in ', all actors or
men who live by their wits and personal
appearance. Ladies generally prefer |
gold, but men who are dissatisfied with
the natural color of their hair almost in
variably go in for black. To keep up
tlie deception, two if not three applica
tions a week are necessary, and one cus
tomer of mine had me visit him every
i alternate day for over three years. Dye
| ing the hair kills it in lime and makes it
l brittle and thin during the process, while
! the number of scalp diseases sacrificed
! at the shrine of vanity is legion. Several
barbers now decline all dyeing business,
; and 1 am one of tlie number But in
I years gone by I did my share, and ad
i rnit having made a quantity of money at
I it. The acids used are so strong that
tliey positively make the fingers sore,
I and as the scalp is much more sensitive
: than the fingers, the tortures endured
j by tiiose who subject their heads to con
] stant irritation in this manner can be
more easily imagined than described. —
Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Tho Printer Did It.
A well. known Australian writer—a
very bad pomnan—in mentioning the
name of a certain lady in an article, said
she was "renowned for her graciousness
and charity." For "charity" the com
positor reqd "chastity." The author, on
seeing a proof, recognized at once that
there was an error; but, unable to re
member the word he hud used in place
of "chastity," marked the proof with
what is called a "query"—?—to refer the
printer to his MS. When the article ap
peared, the writer—who had intended
to pay a pretty compliment to tlie lady
—was surprised to read that she was
"renowned for her graciousness and
chastity (?)." Verdict for plaintiff, £2,-
500 sterling, with costs.—San Francisco
Argonaut.
The housekeepers who in former years
were wont to put up whole ranks of jars
of preserves are contenting themselves
with a very moderate store of sweerts
this season, and their remarks about the
sugar trust would pain the trustees to
hear.
PRETTY GIRLS AT WORK.
Something About the Fair Clerks in tlie
Treasury Department.
Some of tho prettiest women in the
country are right here in the treasury
department. A great many of them are
Washingtonians, but, as a class, they
represent the beauty of about the whole
country. They are blondes and brunettes,
short, tall and medium; some plump,
some queenly, some of lithe and willowy
form—they are fairly the types of tho
several great cities and about all the
slutes of the union. In that one building,
covering four blocks, is to he found more
beauty than a hunt through many large
cities might discover. A large propor
tion of tlie female clerks are young, or
at least on the minus side of the lino be
yond which lies old maidhood. Office
life is not promotive of longevity, and
many of (he elderly women have died
oil or reached an age beyond usefulness.
Those who. have come into the depart
ment within the last four or five years
are mostly young women, who have just
passed through the normal schools and
have entered the government service
through the civil service examination.
They are a bright lot of young women.
In many eases it is. perhaps, that they
are the prettiest girls of the family,
which it. pi res thetu with an ambition
beyond the drudgery of housework or
tlie trials of a school inarm and induces
them to strive for the more agreeable
work and better pay under tho civil
service. And this may account for
there being such a preponderance of
good looks.
They are not, as a rule, gaudy beauties
frescoed and decorated by art, though of
course there are some of that type.
They are usually of a refined type of
good, sensible, pretty girls—a little be
yond girlhood. They always dress in
good taste, though not generally in an
expensive style. A designer of fashions
might get many valuable points from tlie
female treasury clerk.
During the ordinary working hours
the visitor to the treasury will not see
many of these young women. They are
apt to be hard at work behind closed
doors or just shut from view by green
baize screens over which one cannot see
without the aid of a chair or step ladder.
The desks are usually provided witli these
screens, otherwise they would be an
noyed by the gaze of the visitors passing
through tho corridors, who*would prob
ably he numerous if tho screens were not
there.
But during the half hour allowed for
lunch a swarm of pretty female clerks
rush about the corridors to exchange
bits of gossips or to get their tea. 'Wash
ington may get her reputation for her
beautiful women from the throng that
appear on the avenue 011 the way home
from the departments after 4 o'clock.
Whenever there are any number of
people 011 a visit to Washington the treas
ury is generally the center of curiosity,
on account of the popular interest in
money. Visitors are always interested
in the places where the money is handled,
and some one must be delegated to take
charge of them. In view of the great num
ber of these visitors seme young women
of the department have been designated
regularly to act as guides through the
redemption agency, where the old notes
are counted and destroyed.—Washington
Star.
Perpetuating an Incident.
As Mile, Rhea was leaving Ottawa,
Canada, an old, white haired gentleman
approached her in the sleeping car, and,
with charming cordiality, presented her
with a basket of the most beautiful
grapes, in the top of which was a large
hunch of Marechal Neil roses and the
following note: "Dear Madame Rhea —
When the first Napoleon was brought as
captive into Plymouth sound by Capt.
Maitlaud, of the Bellerophon, 1 was born
—July, 1815. My father, who had ex
tensive hot houses, sent to Napoleon a
basket of the finest hot house grapes. In
seeing you in the role of 'Josephine' I
thought I would ask your acceptance (in
your character as empress of the French)
of a basket of the same fruit, thus per
petuating the incident and paying a
tribute to the 'empress' in the person of ■
one who so ably represents her. With !
best wishes and regrets, dear madame, 1
yours very truly, Richard Nettle, Ottawa,
Oct. 10, 1880.'" And the old gentleman
added: "Although my countrymen called
Napoleon a rascal, my father had the
greatest admiration for him." —Ex-
change.
A Literary Curiosity.
The-menu of the farewell banquet to
the mem hers of the oriental congress at
Stockholm ought to take a permanent
place in collections of literary curiosities.
The initial "sup" or nip of schnapps
which always begins a Scandinavian
dinner was recorded with a song in the
Kairs tongue. The soup was described
in Getziani and a song in Chinese. Prof.
Max Muller wroto a song in Sanscrit
praising the salmon. The filet de bceuf
was mentioned by a verso in Malay and
by another in Javanese. Artichaut au
beurro was treated in Coptic; cateau a
la Victoria in hieroglyphics; the ices in
Hiinyaritic: the cheeses in Bichare. The
menu concluded according to the Swe
dish custom with "Thanks for dinner"
written in Persian. —Berlin Letter.
An Electrician'* lIoue^
One of Edison's chiefs lives in Newark
in a house which is all agog with wires.
As one approaches the front gate it
swings open and shuts automatically.
The visitor's foot on the steps of the
porch rings a bell in the kitchen and also
one in the master's study. By touchiug
a button lie opens the front door before
the stranger has time to knock. An elec
trical music box plays during dinner.
When the guest retires to his bedroom
the folding bed unfolds by electricity.
When ho puts out the gas a strange,
mocking display of skeletons, grave
stones, owls and other hideous phantas
magoria dances about on the wall at his
feat, reappearing and disappearing in a
ghostly electrical glare.—Exchange,

I Children on Marring*.
Children ore the keenest of observers
and the most practical deducors; indeed,
theiir deductions are often morse aston
ishing than agreeable to their elders.
Though we laugh, we do not always en
joy having our weakness revealed to ua
by the babbling of babes.
Six little children were at play, and
whether it was that they grew tired of
familiar games or that that innate prin
ciple, "It is not good for man to be
alone," craved expression, they deter
mined to have a wedding. John, aged 8,
should marry Hattie, aged 5, and Broth
er Ilarrv would B|>eak "the words that
bind."
Now, Harry had never heard a mar
riage ceremony and was entirely ignorant
of tlie prevalent pledges, but was lie at a
loss? Not he. He knew what papa and
mamma considered of paramount virtue,
and surely what they each so eagerly de
sired must constitute the requisite of a
happy married life.
The candidates for wedlock were re
quested to stand side by side and gravely
obeyed.
"Hatty, will you get up in tho morn
ing and see that John has his breakfast
in time and that iie has good things to
eat and never lias to wait for his meals?"
"John, will you give her all the money
Bhe wants?" .
That was all. hut does it not contain
the quintessence of married felicity?"—
Kansas City Star.
Watered Milk.
j The milkman who waters his goods
' generally does so under the impression
that tho water poured in incorporates
itself with the milk and cannot bo de
tected except upon chemical analysis.
This shows gross ignorance. The milk
will hold only its own fluid; all foreign
fluid will be precipitated if tlie mixture
is allowed to stand for a couple of days.
Any housewife may spot a dishonest
milkman with very little trouble. Let
her take a long slender bottle, dense it
| thoroughly and let it dry out. If, then,
it Is filled with milk and allowed to
; stand in a cool —not cold—place for
forty-eight hours, all the foreign fluid
will be precipitated—that is, it will set
tle to tlie bottom of the bottle. The
soured milk will then fill the middlo of
the bottle and the fatty substance will
be floating on top. Sometimes the top
will he a layer of cream, then will come
a layer of albumen, another artificial
device to make the milk look rich; then
will come the soured milk and at the
bottom will he the foreign water. The
whole scheme of deception can be read
by a glance at the bottlo after one lias
had a single lesson in the rudiments of
milk inspection. This sort of work is
not scientifically satisfactory, but it will
always develop tlio fundamental fact —
whether or not the milk is normal.—ln
terview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A Joke 011 the Dog.
Last Sunday afternoon an old, gray
haired gentleman appeared in Jackson
park. He was accompanied by a small
lap dog of the pug species. This dog
ran about in an aimless way which indi
cated that he did not have any more
sense than a stamped envelope. lie trot
ted over the flower beds and left his foot
prints among the plants, and he had his
own way until a park policeman caught
sight of him. Finding out who was the
owner of the dog the policeman ap
proached the old gentleman, tapped him
on the shoulder and said: "See, here,
my friend, you must have that dog keep
away from the flowers. Don't you see
that sign reading, 'Dogs not allowed on
the grass?'" The old gentleman chuckled,
jerked his thumb toward the dog, and
replied: "Yes, I see it, but that little
cuss can't read." He thought it was a
good joke on the dog, and he refused to
think otherwise until tho policeman
threatened to lock him up if he did not
call oil the dog, which he did.—Chicago
Herald.
School Teacher*.
If every new girl who is introduced as
a school teacher should be "dropped" by
the board when she proves to be a fail
ure, we would soon have no teachers, or
| good ones at least. It is strange, but a fact,
! that, as usual, the girls who, for from two
1 to three years, seem utterly hopeless, fin-
I ally become the best in the staff, while,
' on the other hand, those who start out
most promising, too often become worth
less. While the Normal school lays a
good foundation, it does not finish a
teacher—in fact, "making a teacher"
' only coiumenßes when she makes her
I debut in the school room. The superin
-1 tendent's staff and her principal watch,
1 instruct and discipline her, for three to
four years, when she is a thorough, re
! liable teacher, and then —she goesoff and
marries, generally.—lnterview in St.
! Louis Globe-Democrat.
"A Suspended Judgment."
| The true scientific attitude of the day,
1 as expressed by tiro president of the
British association, Professor Fowler, is
a "suspended judgment." Professor Fow
ler indorses Sir John Lubhcck's idea that
tho field of inquiry is limitless and that
there may be "fifty other senses as dif
ferent from ours as sound is from sight,
and even within the boundaries of our
own senses there may he endless sounds
which we cannot hoar and colors as dif
ferent as red. from green of which we
have no conception. These and a thou
sand other questions remain for solution.
The familiar world which surrounds us
may be a totally different place to other
animals. To them it may be full of mu
sic which we cannot hear, of color which
we cannot see, of sensation which we
( cannot conceive."—Scienco Gossip.
All Reverence the Dead.
A day or two ago a fruit peddler was
passing up Elizabeth street east, yelling
"ha-nan-oes" at the top of his voice,
1 when he suddenly caught sight of the
! crape on a door which signified that a
child lay dead in the house.
"Ba-nan-oest Ba-nan-oes! Ba" !
He checked his words as ho saw the
crape, removed his hat and placed it on
his cart, and he walked to the next
square bareheaded and silent.—Detroit
