The old man adjusted his glasses and looked at the pale-faced clerk. "Absent yesterday," he said, shortly. "Yes, sir," replied the clerk. "Absent from sickness?" "No, sir." "Oho 1 you're honest, anyway. Most men would say they were." "I haven't been absent from sick ness for nearly a year." "You haven't?" The old man looked surprised. "No, sir. It has been right with me all the time." . "What has?" "Sickness of some sort." "But you said that yesterday—' "Yesterday 1 was absent on account of sickness, sir." The old man thought the matter over for a minute or two, and then he said: "Yes. yes; I see! You're rather particular iu your use of words." "Yes, sir. Study to use them cor rectly." "Of course; and I'm a trifle care less. Now, please see if this sentence is correct: 'Hereafter you will be absent from my displeasure.' " ' "Ye-es, sir." "You will also be absent on account of my displeasure." "Ye-es, sir." "And because of my displeasure." "Ye-es, sir."

Home, of Wiu stcd, has returned from a three-years' consulship at the Island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies. "Do you have hurricanes in St. Thomas?" asked the reporter. "Yes, occasionally," said the consul. "We had one that scared me a good deal more than it hurt me. One day, when the sun was shining brightly, 1 heard four guns fired from the fort. Everybody began jumping around and shutting u]) things. 'What's the mat ter?' I asked. 'Hurry lip,' said the clerk; 'that's the signal ; there's a storm coming. And in the street the people were running in all directions, and blinds were hanging. All the houses have heavy, solid outside shut ters. and my clerk was shutting these as fast as he could. Soon I was left in total darkness entirely alone. Everybody goes into the. lower storieß of the houses during a hurricane, as they are built of stone and the upper part of the buildings are of wood. In an earthquake they use the wooden story. Well, tho storm came up and hanged and howled around, and 1 would have given $5 for even a black companion. I expected to see the whole place in ruins, but when 1 opened the shutters and got a breath of fresh air again the people were be ginning to walk about again, and tfie sun was shining and everything was lovely. They're used to little things like hurricanes there and don't mind them. That's the way all rain storms come up out of a clear sky."—Hart ford Courant. All Expedient. One of the most ingenious expedi ents for overcoming the difficulties of sinking shafts for mining or other purposes iu wet "measures" is the "freezing process." Supposing that the bottom of the shaft iB so continu ously flooded that the miners are un able to use their picks or in any way proceed with the excavation, pipes are run down from the surface to the flooded locality, and through these pipes is forced a powerful freezing mixture. . The consequence is that the impeding water becomes solilitied, and the workman can quarry his way through the ice, which now becomes a protection from the body of water be yond, and the sinking of the shaft ean be continued. —Chicago Herald. Identifying Him. Senator Voorhees, Colonel Tom Nel sou, and Boudinot, the well-known Cherokee chief, were trying to locate themselves in a jerky street car, which Boudinot only succeeded in doing af ter being thrown first headlong over one lady and then violently back on another. "Why, Boudinot" said the quiet Senator, "I thought you were a Chero kee, but it seems that you're really iJ paw-knee." "No," said the diguifleif Nelson, "he's a lap-lander, "—Wash J ington Post.

Chinese women are said to regard the hairpiu much as American women do the ring. Only six children have ever been born in the White House and they were all girls.

A figure that lacks breadth at the shoulders is greatly improved by a short, round waist, bib sleeves that do not fall below the elbows and wide rovers of lace or silk ruffles. Cotele, a heavy corded bengaline, is used for capes and coats and for the sleeves of velvet and plush coats. Sometimes it is used for the sleeves of seal coats, but it seems out of place there.

Moorish women have one custom fhat commends itself to womankind in anlightened lands. It iB a point of honor among them never to know their )wn ages. They have no birthday celebrations. Mrs. Hetty Green, the sharp Wall street financier, goes about habitually in an attire that coold be matched any where for twenty dollars. She is shv and looks queer, but is described by ner landlady as a star boarder. Women are proverbially slouchy about their shoes, a bit of the toilet that men notice first. Heels shculd oe kept straight, buttons on, and soles jven, to the very last. Untidy shoes will spoil an elegant toilet. Rusty shoes are a disgrace. Mrs. J. Pierrepoint Morgan is cred ited with the intention of erecting a monument over the unmarked grave ;>f brave Molly Pitcher, of revolution ary celebrity, which lies near West Point, adjacent to the Morgan country seat at Highland Falls 011 the Hudson. The awful craze for originality seised a young Englishwaman a week or so ago, and she had a "novel" wedding. As bride she wore a riding habit and "bowler" hat, and carried a hunting crop instead of a bouquet. Her at rendants wore eovert coats, spats, red waistcoats, and white pulo ties, DEATH ON CHOLERA GERMS. Tobucco Soon DMtroyi the IlnrtlU of the Deadly Oriental Plagur. Pome Interesting Investigations have been made on the vitality ot cholera organisms on tobacco by Wernicke, says Nature. Small pieces of linen soaked In cholera-broth cul tures were rolled up In various kinds of tobacco, and the latter ware made Into cigars. At the end of twenty four hours only a few bacilli were found on the linen, and none on the leaf. On sterile and dry tobacco leaves, the bacilli disappeared In one half to three hours after Inoculation. On moist, unsterlllied leaves they disappeared in from one to three days, but on moist and sterile leaves In from two to four days. When Introduced into a 5 per cent, tobacco Infusion (ten grams of leaves to 200 grams of water), however, they re tained their vitality up to thirty three days, but In a more concen trated Infusion (one gram of leaves to two grains of water) they suc cumbed In twenty-four hours. When enveloped in tobacco smoke they were destroyed, In broth cultures, us well as In sterilized and unsterlllzed saliva, In Ave minutes. Another au thority describes a series of experi ments in which he prepared broth cultures of different pathogenic mi crobes, and conducted through them the smoke from various kinds of to bacco. Out of thirty three separate Investigation", In only three were the cholera organisms alive after thirty minutes' exposure to tobacco fumes. But in actual experience the apparent antiseptic properties of to bacco have not frequently been met with; thus, duiing the influenza epi demic In 1889, Ylsalll mentions the remarkable Immunity from this dis ease which characterized the opera tives in tobacco manufactories; that in Genoa, for example, out of 1,200 work people thus engaged, not one was attacked: while In ltome the number was so Insignificant that the works we e never stopped, and no precautions were considered necessary. ill iicn Mil ilo.
