TANNHAUSER. j Waiting.'"In tue evening sue sat * witH j JSIiz a, and in their conversation 1)611376(3 serious doubts that one good woman could be f onnd in any other Jdtchen of tho United States—virtue being* con- densed in hours. Upstairs ' girls were generall y spoken of aa "them crazy things." Evidentl y Ann Bangs had ha d her own eTxperienees in her early days, when John ¦wa s yoringer and presumably liandsomer. All this happened when I was a very small child. It was after I had been married two " or threo years that mamma came to vis it mo nt my littlo country p lace, and ( shortly began to talk about Eliza Boerum. "It is tho most Bi ' ngnlar thing ," she said. "Old as sh o i s s ho has neve r gotten over her lovo affair. I believo sho cares f or Thomas Tripp yet. Sho must have heard somo news of him latel y. Sho is very senti mental in theso latter days, and told mo that sometimes the kitchen seemed 'haunted' —with Mr. Tripp' s ghost , I presume. Perhaps she has too much work t o do in our larg o family, a nd I s hou ld l ike to send her to you for a chnnge. She is deli g hted with the idea." "So am I , " s aid I; and the thing was settled. Very soon sho camo to mo. Sho had altered very little. Though now nn undeniabl y elderly woman, her hair remained as black as ever , the pol- ish on her cheek bones -was as high and the frills as perfectl y pl aited. She was a wonderful comfort to mo, and by way of reaping the benefit of country air she took a regular walk every day after dinner , carefully guard- ing her skirts from the dust. Ono day sho returned in a somewhat pensive mood . "That long kind of building without no trees near it, what wonld you call it , ma' am?" sho asked. "That one where there ' s so many old peoplo s ittin ' out to air themselves mostly. " "Oh, that' s the poorhouse, Eliz a, " I said. "I thought as much," said she. "Well , we h ad all ought to b e tha nkful we' re not in it, " sho ai-jfaed, and went her way. Eliz a had savings and ha d f allen into a very good legacy front aa uncle—sho could h avo no fears of coming to want. But it was evident that the poorhouse people had touched a soft spot in her old heart. One day she came to me with a curi- ous look on her face. "May I take a liberty, ma ' am?" she said. "I want to mako a p lain cako for one of them old folks that hasn ' t tasted none f or years—may I?" "Of course you may, Eliza , " I said. "L:uv me!" snid Eliza. "How ' ...: Thomas Tripp used to sit an 1 e.it my plai n cake Sunday teatimo! Said 'twas bett er than other f olks' p-jund cake , ah! —but you can ' t remember Thomas Tripp?" "Oh, indeed I do, " said I. "Ah, " said Eliza, "he wa s a fine man if he hadn't been thrown under evil in- fluences." And that afternoon sho car- ried her plain eake with her when she went n pon her walk. A week later , as I was in tho garden picking a bouquet , the do g that f ollowed at my heels began to growl , and some one uttered a small squeal of terror. Looking up I saw a forlorn old man with a straggling white beard and very miserable blue eyes sheltering himself in the porch of a little house where tools, ladders , fl ower pots and other things of the sort were stored. " She said I conld call," ho saitl. "Missus-Eliza did. Kin I go round to the kitchen, if it ain ' t presuming? She sa id I could. " "hiiiza? un, yes, l answered , "you li find her there." And I gue ssed that this was ono of her proteges from the poor- house. They had a way of dressing tb e unf ortunate inmates of their institution which onco seen could not be forgotten. This parti cular fi g ure wa s, however , unusually forlorn and pathetic. Prob- abl y that was the reason why El i za had selected liim as the object of her bounty. He cams) regularly af ter that , each Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. Cold food was rehashed for him in tempt- ing style. Yesterday ' s paper was bestow- ed u p on him to read, and the day aft er Eliza received her next wages he becamo possessed of a new hat and some linen. I doubt if the poorhouso authorities be- stowed these luxuries , and I used to seo the latter hanging to dr y in a secret Bpot behind the hedge now nnd then. Eliza seldom spoke of her protege , and then alluded to him as "that there un- fortinite. " But ho came reg ul arl y, and was graduall y spruced up to a degree I should not have believed possible. M oreover , Eliza l os t her g rimness and was more amiable than she had been for years. She frequently remarked that 'live had ought to make allowances for everybody, " and that " no one knowed how h e'd act under temptation. " She had evidently taken to charitable views of humanity in her old age , and ! her pensioner occupied her time pleasant- i ly. But one Sunday evening I was sur- I prised by hearing a murmur of voices behind tho hedge, at the «aune time de- tecting the odor of a pipe, and peeping through saw Eliza—our proper and par- ticular Eliza—in her best dress , her pockethandkerchief primly held in her f old ed hands , sitting calm and smiling, with the arm of the old genrUeman from the poorhouse around her waist. He , for his part sported a blue tie and a yel- l ow linen suit, and had in the button- hole of his stiff l y ironed coat a red ge- ranium. • ] I retired astonished , and I fancy Eliza ! suspec ted my presence , for she came to me next day in a clean apron with an evident purpose in her mind. She opened the subject in these words: "For a p l ain person , on in years, ma' am, would you say if you was asked that a genteel pale brown was a suitable wedding dres3, wi th say a bonnet to match, and lace neck plaitings?" " Decidedly , "I sa id. "Then I think Til git that , ma' am , " she said. "I intend to change my con- dition." " For the better , I hope , Eliza , " I said. "For the b etter , a s f ur as worldly prospect s goes, no, ma' am, but as f ur as heart ' s affecti on counts, yes, I be, " s aid Eliza. "' Persons of matoor years knows their own minds. I' ve thongh t it over, I' m fixed in mine. " " aYnd who is the happy man, Eliza?" I askec L '•Well , now lie ia happy, ma ' am , " Eliza responded with a chuckle. "To Eee him sit and eat p lain cake is a sight for sore eyes. " "Is it—the—tho old gentleman f rom the " — I faltered. " Don't be delicate in mentioning it , ma' am, " s aid Eliza. "The poorhouse— yes ' m. M isf ortune s i s not f aults , aud ups and downs may happen to every- body. Thomas and me is going to jine hands and hearts a month from Wednes- day,, whi ch is as soon as the tailor r- .ud dressmaker can be depended on.

'' ¦ f ^^^mms i old gentleman - ff om " the poorhouse , Thomas Tripp?" "Ye s ' m, " s aid Eliza. "I don't deny he had writ. I knowed he wns there when I came up, and my f eeling s at f irst was fearful , but soon I saw that he was capabl e of fi xin' up, and I began to do it. " j ' 'I've noticed the improvement , " I said. "It' s great , " said Eliza, " and ho is thnt I penitent! Lotty Lavender turned out n s ! I knowed she would. Livery stable work I ain't like private families. Lotty didn't | get all sho wanted, nnd her temper drove ' Thomas to drink. Then ono day a horse run away with him and ho was in hos- ; p ital quito a spell, and when ho come out his looks was spiled and his strength gone, and ho couldn ' t get work , and Lotty sho went hack on hiin and rnn j away wi th a man that had been hang ing around her ; then Thomas dr ank worse, of course. Lotty is dead now and better- off , f or s he went to tho bad a l together, " said Eliza , " and you know what hap- pened to Thomas; but I' m lixin' him up gradual , and we ' ro thinkin g of a littl o sftop. Thomas ain ' t so handsomo as he was, of course , but he has improved in mora ls and int ellec ts, and ho has made it p lain t o me that he was tempted , and all along his true love was for mo alone. " " To err is human, to forg ive divine, I Eliza, " I said. "That's beau tiful , " sai d Eliza ; "I' m very foud of hymns myself, nnd thank ye, ma' am, for your good advice." I was n ot awaro of h aving offered any, but I did not deny the charge Later J gavo Eliza a set of china. My mother sent her somo silver spoons , other wed- dingpresentsarrived, and on tlio Wednes- day appointed Eliza removed Thomas Tripp from tho poorhouso to the church and married him.

But Mr. Depew does not receive th* $75,000 from the New ' York Central in remuneration for any severe Truant, al strain on his part, hn * tor his compre- hensive knowledge at tbe affairs ef that company and bis ability to direct them with the least possible Motion. Mr. De- pew ' s office from early morning to late at night is filled witb " all sorts of people with all sorts of quatlons , and the man who receives the big salary he does must be ablo to answer them most satisfac- torily, and always in the interests of the New York Control. INSTJEANOB aUTD BATHEE-TO. Then take some of the salaries of othei New Yorkers: H. B. Hyde, president of the E quitable Life Aj Ssorance society, receives $50, 000; James W.

OOO to $15,000. There is a long string! of soch salaries , and the general opimA is that the men earn tlieir money. The interests of these vast companies are all under the minute observation of the commanding officer. These interests extend over all the globe, and require tho greatest judgmeo and tho most skillful knowledge of lairs. Many of these officers by their. : teea knowledge of affairs of state and lation save their companies annually tex times the salary they receive. They are irovided against almost every system . t blackmail by reason of their vast e perience in the conduct of their com; inies, and earn their sal aries many dm liover. Up in the dry goods listrict tho big men of the Clafiin ompany, Teff t , Well er & Co. and oth r firms of that caliber receive on an ( -erage $5, 000 to $10, 000 a year. There i » several excep- tions where buyers and others rnn their incomes up from $10 , DO to $30,000 a year. This is in the d i r goods jobbing branch, because in the dry goods com- mission branch the avera ge salary of an employe is from $2,500 to $5,000 a year.

Looking over these! | » facts and fig- ures thc salary of ta£ ____fresident of the United States comes in jur consideration. The presiden t receivfS $50 ,000 a year, and from the day he enters the White House until tho hour he leaves it very few men can tell how hard he earnafhis money. There can be no adequate rule of compensation applied to his case. The vast army of office ' holders and offlce seekers who besiege him ought to make the p lace worth iJEOO.OOO a year at least. But possibly the iximpensa tion for the place is eked oat by its great honor and the hurras and cheers which greet the president , no matter ho* unpopular he may be , wherever he go#. The salutes of the great cruisers , the bands p laying "Hail to the Chief, " ti t, grtAl personal honors shown the hole r of tho office no doubt are intended ' nuke up the compensation, which t mot be repre- sented by his salary ol 150,000 a year.

In p rincip le the towers aro very sim- ple. There is an iron tube so p ivoted over ono end of a truck that its top may be raised to a height of sixty feet above tho street pavement. The upper end terminates in a nozzle. Connected with tho bottom of the pipe is a very large hose. From two to four engines may bs coup led to this hose , and their united streams forced up throu gh the pipe and out of tho nozzle. The nozzle is con- trolled by a man on the truck , so tha t a solid 21 inch stream may bo directed through the top windows of a six story building with ease and certainty. The newest tower in the department differs from the o lder ones in severa l important details. Tho old tower had to be raised by hand power , and it was a slow and tiresome job. Moreover , the old tower was made in sections and had to bo screwed to- g ether by tho men. Tho new tower haa a twenty-eight foot pipo suspended in- sid e of a s l end er steel d e rrick that is twent y-two feet high. Tho derrick ia piv oted over tho f orward wheels of the truck and when not in uso it, with the pile insido , lies prono upon the truck. At a f iro the derrick is erected by means of what may bo called engine power— the pi ston rods of two cylinders , which are very like steam engine cylinders , connect with tho bottom of tho derrick. Inste ad of steam, however , carbonic acid gas , which is generated in a retort sus- pended near the rear axle of the truck , is used. This retort is pa rtly f illed with soda and water , a nd whon the time comes f or raising tho tower a small quantity of vitriol is spilled into this mixture. The g as is generat ed in suff icient quantit y to create a pressure in the cyl i nders of above 100 pounds to the square inch, and it is this power, exerted throu gh the cylinders , that raises the derrick. The pipe is elevated above the derrick by means of a 6tout metal rope working over pulleys and a hand winch. The stream from tho tower can be swun g around in any direc t ion and thrown up or down through a wide arc,—John R. Spearssin Scribner ' s. NEW YORK'S WATER TOWER. The plainest features become pretty when clothed with a fresh , velvety skin. It ia in the power of every woman to have a soft , fine skin, thus adding much to her charms if she will devote a little time and care to her toilet. It should be a duty ns well as n pleasure to every woman to enhance tho powers of attractiveness. First of all , one must keep the faco free from those unsi ghtl y black heads or grubs. Bathe the face in hot water ; rub on a little oil , and then take nn old-fashioned watch-key, and pry out all the large ones. Afterward mb on cream or any soothing ointment. In tho morning there will be no trace of the redness. * To have a clear skin it is essential to keep the digestive organs in good order , and to sleep as much as possible. Sleep will do more to preserve the fresh- ness of youth than any otber ono thing. At ni ght wash the f.ico in warm water— never use hot—using soap freel y to remove the dust of the day. Then take a pint of cold water , to which a tablespoonful of bay rum has been added, and bathe the face for five minutes. Dry the face on a coarse towel , rubbing gentl y to get up a pleasant friction. Lastly spread a little cream on the face and neck. Use onl y the finest cream and tho purest soap in tho market. In the morning, remove the grease with plenty of warm water and soap—followed by a cold bath , as at night. Thon appl y a little powder with a soft linen rag, to remove the shine. Powder is an essentinl adjunct to a lady' s toilet—let men say what they will to the contrary—but never use a cheap powder. The best tvill bo found harml ess. Avoid all faco lotions , as tbeir use is sure to ruin the skin. By following tho above directions you will find in a short time that those horrid littlo specks that give the skin such a coarse look will disappear , and the skin become as soft as a roso petal. Xrrnorance About Court*. There is a surp rising popular lack of i nformation on the subject of tho pow- ers and functions of courts. It would be amusing in a ny ordinary company to get the ideas of most of those present on tho distinctions between the courts of tho United States, the state , the county nnd the munici pality, the limitations of the civil and criminal courts , and tho powers of police magistrates. It is a common thing for people to express sur- prise that on such brief trials police ma gi s tr ate s should be ablo to commit p eople to prison for months. The fact is that polico magistrates have no such power , althou gh tho f orm of ex pression used in police reports , "He got six months, " might well lead to such a be- lief. The fact is that the sentence of imprisonment in such cases i.s alterna- tive with the giving of bail for good be- havior. It is a common thing for peo- ple who ought to know better to sit all day in a police court , onl y to finil at the closo tbnt the remedy tliey seek could only be had in a civil court. —New York Sun.

One of the most troublesome questions to contend with in traveling in China is that of money. Aa is well known the Chi- neso have no other currency than the cop- per cash , about fifteen hundred of which are worth at Peking a Chinese ounce of j pure silver , called by forei gners a " tael of sycee. " Silver is naturally used in com- mercial transactions , but as bullion onl y, and by wei ght , so every one has to have a set of small scales. Tho inconvenience that this woi g hing entails would be com- parativel y small were all tho ecalos throughout the empire uniform , but such is not the case. They differ considerably from one town to another , and even in the same locality. Tims at Peking there is a government standard , a maritime customs standard and a commercial standard. The samo diversity is fonnd all over the empire , nnd tho consequent complications anel even serious loss in exchange are a continual vexation. Nor is it possible to escape this loss by carry ing copper cash with one ; for , putting aside tlieir exces- sive wei ght , there is not even a standard cash in China. Thoso used at T'ientsin nre not nsed in Peking; thoso at Peking nre not current , except at a discount , at T' ai- yuau. Ilero I bought a very debased kind . of cosh , giving one " large cash " for four of them ; a hundred miles farther south theso small cash were at par , and even, in a few cases , at a sli ght premium over the intrinsically moro valuable large one. Tho Mongols , Tibetans and Turkesto- nese have nover consented to uso the Chi- nese copper cash , althoug h it is the stand* ard money of the realm. The first named peoplo use silver ingots , or brick tea ; the others have a silver currency of their own. C.ntury. • .a.—s Travel Over tlie lirooklyn Brldgro.

During tbe first six years tho recei pts for travel were over $4 , 300, 000. Tlio railway surpassos in tho matter of recei pts any mile of railway in the world. The ferries cannot vie with the bridge in tho mailer of travel. In their best year , when not exposed to brid ge competition , the Hamilton. Wall , South , Fulton and Catherine ferries carried alto- gether onl y about 40, 000 , 000 peop le. AU the tickets used on tho bridge are printed on order from the superintendent by a bank nolo company it" , million lots. Every ticket is numbered and lettered anil the letter on each ticket corresponds to the letter or form by which each tickot seller is known to the superintendent. Should a counterfeit ticket be found in a drop box , its ori g in is easil y traced , because thu drop box must not show any two tickets marked alike and must contain only the tickets with tho particular numbers charged to the agent. The drop boxes are receptacles for nil kinds of curious things. Ladies ' bracelets, gloves , pockctbouks , milk tick- els, letters , postal cards, silver pieces , bank checks, cu!T buttons and a thonsand and ono other things have been taken from the boxes fro:u time to time. —New York Teitgram.

Eliza Boerum had lived iu orrr f amil y f or m any year s when I f irst rememb e r lier. Sho was tall and straight , with the flattest back I ever saw , and large, well dev eloped limbs. I do not suppose that any ono had Over thonght hei- pretty, but ahe was as tidy as a waiting mai d in a comedy, and j tho fluting nnd plaiting lhat ahe woro npon her cap and apron wero miraculous. As for her fac e, it shone with much wash- ing, having polished spots oa the cheek- bones and ehin , the eurve of her hi gh nose and tho ttvo prominent points of her forehead. Not a hair escaped from the smooth, dark, tight brai d s t tho back of h er head , nothing about her wa s ever out of order. I fancy sho was nearer 40 than 30 at this time , but I know that Tho mas Tripp, the coachman, was 40, f or ho sai d so. " Forty, and I ' ll bo going on f or an old bachelor before long, " he said. -Tve got to look out and marry soon , haven't I , Missus Cook?" " Mnrri ago, Mr. Thomas, " said Eliz a over her shoulder—she was busy with a puiltliiig—"is a matter I haven't taken much thought of , being a spinstress my- self. " " Not by no means , Missus Cook , " said Thomas—"not by no means. ¦ A fino fig- ure of a woman , with opportuniti es to chango her condition , has HO call to men- tion herself by that name. " "Old maids is honorable , " sai d Eliza. "Ay, anil I've heard them say that old bachelors was abominable, by way of making a rhyme t o it , " said Thomas Tripp. "I'm goin' to marry. How about you. "1 * 11 wait until somebody off er s, and then thi nk it over, " said Eliza. I was sitting on the window pill eat- ing a cake , ani l I remember that I conld see no reason wh y Eliza should stop her work and chase Thomas out of the kitchen wi th a dish towel at that mo- ment, but ho seemed to like it. aVftor that I used to find him there very often. They wero always sitting on chairs at a {Treat distance apart look- ing silly when I camo in , nnd Eliza al- ways thought that it would be bett er for my health to " go and eat my nice cake in the garden, because the kitchen was so warm. " Shortly it was known that Eliza Boer- um and Thomas Tri pp were engaged to be married, and would stay on in the famil y in Iheir several capacities. We wero quito excited about the wed- ding, nnd tho room abovo the coach house was furnir,hed with comparative splendor. It was just at this timo that Selina, our somewhat venerable waitress , re- tired on her savi ng s, nnd it was neces- sary to get a new girl in her place. It was Eliza wlio begged my mother to tak o Lottv Lavender. "You sec, " s aid Eliza, " it will bo such a wonderful thing for the girl to get into a good family. She ' s been l et to run about from ono place to another, and she never has a dollar left to put away. Being with young, giddy folks sho fol- lows.the ' m, but with settled peopl e like me and Jlr. Thomas she'll have no temp- tation. Her mother is a friend of my own , and . she sa3"s only yesterday : '* 'Oh , Liza, if she can have your good ex amp l e I shall be truly thankful. '" And so Lotty came to us. A pretty, peach cheeked, blue eyed creature with a belt not half a yard long, and a coquet- tish manner that made her very attract- ive to my young eyes. In the kit chen at first it was quite charming to seo Lotty taking tho advice of those older and wiser than she , ane l goi ng t o c hurch with Thomas and Eliza on Sunday eveniug ; but alas! this is a changeful world. Young as I was I soon saw that Thomas stared long and often at the new waitress and was less devotedly atten- tive to his Eliza. I found Eliza alone in the kitchen in a very low spirited mood, while Lotty was, I knew, talkin g a walk wi t h Thomas. And one day at dessert a strange thin g happened. Lotty was jus t bri nging in a dish of fruit , wa lking with unusual airiness and looking prettier than over , when a howl was heard upon the stairs , anel I saw Thomas rushing stableivard with his handkerchief to his eye, and at the same instan t Eliza ap peared behind L otty with her fingers e xt ended like In a moment moro the g irl ' s cap was off , her embr oidered apron in Hatters, the fruit di sh on the ground, the peaches and pears rolling about tho lloor , and Eliza di sappeared down the kitchen stairs, dragging Lotty by her long, back hair. Thu mi ni st er and his wife were dining wi th us. The situation was shocking. "Is the girl out of her mind?" asked my father. "Temporarily, " replied mamma. Then the minister' s wife began to tell a-story of a certain cook who wen t out of her mind and murdered the whole family, and I was very much alarmed for my own safety aud that of the kitten. Later , when wo were al one, Elis:a ap- peared before my mother , neat as usual , but with swollen eyes. "I suppose after the exhibition I have made of myself , ma ' am, I h ad better look f or another place? It ' s past excuses , I know. " "It was very shockin g, Eliza!" sa id my mother , "but 1 pref er that Lotty should go. I have told her so: " "Ma ' am , " said Eliza , " you are an an- gel of f orgiveness , and have a feelin' heart that is not g iven to most ladies , bnt there is circumstances that — that " "I comprehend , " s aid my mother. "I have spoken to your master, and Thoma* Tripp is dismissed. I feel sure that he drinks, and that is always dangerous in a coachman." At this Eliza burst into tears , sobbed : "A—a angel lady! and I'll never forgit it ! " and Tetiied. Me anwhile I had visited Lotty in her bedroom , where she wns packing her trunk. She had several long scrat ches on her cheeks and s ome of her ha ir had been pull ed out, She spoke . of Eliza as "that spitfire old maid, " and threatene d to "have the law of her. " Bnt I never knew of her carrying out her threat, and , s hortly after , we heard that Mr , Thomas Trip p was connected with a livery stable and saw his name and that of Lotty Lavender in the column of marriage notices. Af ter tbat Eliza, as tidy as ever , but much more grim and exacting , continued to cook for us. 1 The coachman , John Bangs , wara p lain , elderl y ma _ v i_oae ¦wife, did ate ' • . - . , ' - - , V A, -: ' ¦ : A ELIZA'S LOVE AEFAIE. ^-—?^.^A—o—oaa^^d—^mmmm *Tmo *aaamm2 *^*.m—^^^—A—max ^.m^m0*aimMAmM— **— i^m Business Cards.

For ma ny y e ars tho two buttons havo fi g ured at the waist line of tho bac k of tho man ' s skirt or frock coat. Now , why are thoy thero? For ornament and effect? Not so, originally, for these two butt on s were at thei r beginni n g for servico and not for decoration. If yon put their inception back into tho time when tho big square art embroidered and g orgeousl y linei over coat s wer o j worn, t' .v i centurie., ago , and when the J . " .ii [ ii.. J of tho timo wero wont to go , i' jr th on dress parade with tho sword at ! Ui u side and ready to resent any in- ! formality of etiquette, you will find : that in order to reach the si de arm more readily the skirts of tho coat were turned i back in a reverse shaped way and but- toned or looped upon two buttons at the back p laced as these aro at the present day. In this wny tlie y sec ured an immunit y from drapery whon tho comma- .id camo , "Draw and defend thyself , " anel at the same timo exploited a segment of tho rich inside of the skirt of the coat in a very effective way. The tinsel , the side arm, the c ourt et i quette , the duello and tho gorgeous flowered texture of the coat have gono bef ore , but thos o two buttons remain on the tail coats of to- day, a suggestion of that period of laces , brocades an el romance. —Lowi ston Jour- nal. The Twin Coat Buttons. It owed its existence to a passage in "Charl e s O' M alle y, " i n which Mr. Fra nk Webb disguised himself ns an itinerent organist and went about the streets of Dublin p laying on a hurdy-gurdy anel coll ecting coppers. The government ought to h ave dealt very generous l y with our noveli sts, for few men havo sent so many into the army a s Charl es Lever or so many into tho navy as Capt. Marryat. I have known more cases than one of univers ity men who h avo imitated Lever ' s whimsical notion ot a practical joke ; several universi ty men have gone about tho streets with blackened faces as Christy minstrels. A little gamin of tbo streets was , how- ever , too sharp f or the und ergradu at e, although he was got ap in the most ap- proved hurdy-gurdy sty lo and worked away lustily at the organ handle. The short street boy followed him for s ome time with great admiration, but with a se- rious doubt in his mind. Then he walked up to the itinerant musician and said : " You' re not a hurdy-gurdy man. Look at your boots. Look at your hands. I'll go and t ell the proctor. " The discom- f ited undergraduate skedaddled to l iis rooms , and sent his very moderate earn- ings to a hospital. —Temple Bar. Tbo Faultless Work of Great Poets. It is usually said, tn hasty generaliza- tion , that the poetry of the present age is unique in the extreme refinemen t of its CTiterior mechanism. Those who say this are not a ware that tbe g reat poets whose viri le s implicity and robust care- lessness of detail they appl aud havo al- most without exception been scrupu- lousl y attentive to form. No modern writer has been so learned iu rhythm as Milton , so f aultless in rhyme arrange- ment as Spenser. But what i.s true is that a care for f orm and a considerable skill in tho t echnical art of verse have been acquired by writers of a lower or- der , and that this sort of perfection is no longer the hall mark of a great mas- ter. We may expect it , theref ore, to at- tract lass att ention in the f uture, and although assuredly tho jargon of Walt Whitman will not be accepted , technic- al perfection will more nnd more be taken as a matter of coarse , as a portion of the poet ' s training which shall be as indis pensable and as littl o worthy of notice as that a musician should read his notes correctly. —Edmund Gosse in Forum. Undergraduate Perrerally. The stranger will still find many cu- rious and interesting relics of olden days and ways in Shetland. The ancient vil- lage or "toun" of Sound , two miles f rom Lerwi ck , i s a veritable nest of odd old folks and things. Tho inhabitants pique themselves on p o ssessing the exact spot of ground ou which their ancest or s dwelt for moro than a thonsand years. They show fino scorn for " oopstart Lerwick" in tho oft quoted couplet : Sound was Sound when Lerwick was nam:; Sound'll be Sound wheu Lerwick ii: dune! and the "Sound wives" still visit Ler- wick on Saturdays with their "kashies" on. their backs , their knit t in g in full swing, and their noses high iu lofty con- tempt , waiting on one another until all are done with their errands or shopping, and then returning to Sound, the em- bodiment of haughty toleration. —Cor.

Comparatively few persons can visit the sick without doing more harm than good. Bedridden people and persons confined to their chambers or their homes by chronic ailments may of ten be greatly helped by f riendly calls , by various little tangible expressions of sympathy, and in general by sunshine brought from the outside world , al- though even in such cases wisdom is re. r juiretl. —Youth ' s Companion. . .«. .

Waste l eather scraps arc steeped in a solution and subjected to a h y draulic pressure to mold them te—tiny desired shape. The leather shoe is said to. possess distinct ad- vantages over that of iron , with superior efficiency in every way. The leather shoo weighs i y pounds against 21 j p ounds f or ir on, und it will wear three times as long. More than this , it has a greater coefficient" of friction, so that f orty pounds cf air pressure is as effect- ive ns seventy pounds with iron brake shoes. There is one pre-eminent benefit which the introduction of the leather brake shoo would con fer on communities which are subjected to tho necessary evil of the elevated railroads. They would thns be spared tho dangerons shower of iron particles , whi ch now in- jure so many eyes. An attempt has al- ready been made to remedy this serious sour ce o f d anger by tho use of com- pressed paper. This, however, was found to be impracticable. It is earnest- l y to be hoped that the new shoe will stand the test of practical work. —New York Commercial Advertiser. A Very Original "Toura Truly.

Wc are too frequentl y disposed to think of the rapid growth of our American cities ns merely incidental to the settlement of a new country, and to regard the European cities as old nnd stationary. It is true that their nuclei nro ancient , but so far as tho greater part of tlieir built-up area is con- corned they are almost or quito as new as tho American cities. They, l i ko our own population centers , havo yrown unprece- dentedl y in recent decades , as tho result of modern transportation and industrial sys- tems. Thus London to-day is livo times as large as it was at tho opening of the present century. From 1)00 , 000 at that time, the population o£ London grew to 1,1303, 000 in 1830 ; nnd by 1835 it hail in- creased to 2, 500 , 000. Sinco 1855 it Las moro than doubled. The preseut soverei gn has witnessed a gain of 200 per cent, or more since sho Lo- gan to rei gn. There nre three or four dwellinc- houses now for every ono that was visi ble nt the date of her coronation. In the past forty years from 2 . 000 to 2, 500 miles of now streets have been formed in London. Who , study ing the growth of forei gn cities , can doubt tho continued growth of our own ? London is not an exception. All the other great towns of Eng land have grown up as if by magic within this century. The same statement applies to those of the continent. Fan ' s ii live times as large as it was in tho year 1500 ; Berlin haa grow n much more rapidl y than Paris; Vi- enna has expanded marvelously siuco 1840. This is a digression ; but I shall continue it enough further to remark that an exami- nation of the onuses which havo built np these European ceuters easil y justifies tho jud gment tbat none of our twenty leading American cities has begun lo approach its maximum size. --Centura.

Travel in Northern China is accompli sh- ed in a cart , a mule litter , or the sacldlo. Tbe first method i.s the most uncomfortable but the most rapid , the second the most comfortable but the slowest , the third the most independent- but the most uncertain. The enr t used in N orthern China has two heavy wheels , with wooden axle , no springs , nud a body about four feet long and three broad , over which is ft li ght frame-work tup covered with blue cotton. Two mules, driven tandem by a carter seatetl on the left shaft dike it along at a rate of about three miles nn hour, an.l one can make in it nn average of thirty-five miles a day, even over the roughest coun- try. It will carry about threo hundred pounds of goods , and oii ' n or even two pas- sengers ; and tho tighter ono is squeezed in tlie more coinfortable.it will prove , for tlint , nnd that alone , will bo a protection from tbe terrible jolting over tho roug h country ioaiH. It is told iu some old book ot travel iu the nnrrative of the mission of Lord Am- herst to the court of Peking, if I remember ri ghtly, that one of his attendants died from the effects of the jolting he received during ft Bhort journey in ono of theso carts. ' Bnt tliis mode ot travel being the most rapid I adopted it. Several years of experience of cart travel in China had rondo me bold , so that I did not fear the fate which had overtaken the Amherst mission man . Comfortably wrapped in my wadded Chinese clothes , I squeezed myself into my cart , feeling like a delicate piece of china- ware packed in cotton , and after a hearty farewel l to the friends with whom I was staying at Peking, tho carters cracked their whi ps, and with a shout to the mules we wero off. — Century. .

serious doubts that one good womancould be f onnd in any other Jdtchen oftho United States—virtue being* con-densed in hours. Upstairs ' girls weregenerall y spoken of aa "them crazythings." Evidentl y Ann Bangs had hadher own eTxperienees in her early days,when John ¦was yoringer and presumablyliandsomer.

All this happened when I was a verysmall child.

It was after I had been married two"or threo years that mamma came to visitmo nt my littlo country place, and(shortly began to talk about ElizaBoerum.

"It is tho most Bi'ngnlar thing," shesaid. "Old as sho is sho has never gottenover her lovo affair. I believo sho caresfor Thomas Tripp yet. Sho must haveheard somo news of him lately. Sho isvery sentimental in theso latter days,and told mo that sometimes the kitchenseemed 'haunted'—with Mr. Tripp'sghost , I presume. Perhaps she has toomuch work to do in our largo family,and I should like to send her to you fora chnnge. She is delighted with theidea."

"So am I," said I; and the thing wassettled.

Very soon sho camo to mo.Sho had altered very little. Though

now nn undeniabl y elderly woman, herhair remained as black as ever , the pol-ish on her cheek bones -was as high andthe frills as perfectly plaited.

She was a wonderful comfort to mo,and by way of reaping the benefit ofcountry air she took a regular walkevery day after dinner, carefully guard-ing her skirts from the dust. Ono daysho returned in a somewhat pensivemood.

"That long kind of building withoutno trees near it, what wonld you call it,ma'am?" sho asked. "That one wherethere's so many old peoplo sittin' out toair themselves mostly."

"Oh, that's the poorhouse, Eliza," Isaid.

"I thought as much," said she. "Well ,we had all ought to be thankful we'renot in it," sho ai-jfaed, and went her way.

Eliz a had savings and had f allen intoa very good legacy front aa uncle—shocould havo no fears of coming to want.But it was evident that the poorhousepeople had touched a soft spot in her oldheart.

One day she came to me with a curi-ous look on her face.

"May I take a liberty, ma'am?" shesaid. "I want to mako a plain cako forone of them old folks that hasn't tastednone for years—may I?"

"Of course you may, Eliza ," I said."L:uv me!" snid Eliza. "How '...:

Thomas Tripp used to sit an 1 e.it myplain cake Sunday teatimo! Said 'twasbetter than other folks' p-jund cake, ah!—but you can't remember ThomasTripp?"

"Oh, indeed I do," said I."Ah," said Eliza, "he was a fine man

if he hadn't been thrown under evil in-fluences." And that afternoon sho car-ried her plain eake with her when shewent npon her walk.

A week later , as I was in tho gardenpicking a bouquet, the dog that f ollowedat my heels began to growl , and someone uttered a small squeal of terror.Looking up I saw a forlorn old manwith a straggling white beard and verymiserable blue eyes sheltering himselfin the porch of a little house wheretools, ladders, flower pots and otherthings of the sort were stored.

"She said I conld call," ho saitl."Missus-Eliza did. Kin I go round tothe kitchen, if it ain't presuming? Shesaid I could."

"hiiiza? un, yes, l answered , "you lifind her there." And I guessed that thiswas ono of her proteges from the poor-house. They had a way of dressing tbeunfortunate inmates of their institutionwhich onco seen could not be forgotten.

This particular figure was, however,unusually forlorn and pathetic. Prob-abl y that was the reason why Eliza hadselected liim as the object of her bounty.

He cams) regularly af ter that , eachWednesday and Saturday afternoon.Cold food was rehashed for him in tempt-ing style. Yesterday's paper was bestow-ed upon him to read, and the day afterEliza received her next wages he becamopossessed of a new hat and some linen.I doubt if the poorhouso authorities be-stowed these luxuries, and I used to seothe latter hanging to dry in a secret Bpotbehind the hedge now nnd then.

Eliza seldom spoke of her protege , andthen alluded to him as "that there un-fortinite." But ho came regularly, andwas gradually spruced up to a degree Ishould not have believed possible.

Moreover , Eliza lost her grimness andwas more amiable than she had been foryears. She frequently remarked that'live had ought to make allowances foreverybody," and that "no one knowedhow he'd act under temptation."

She had evidently taken to charitableviews of humanity in her old age, and !her pensioner occupied her time pleasant- ily. But one Sunday evening I was sur- Iprised by hearing a murmur of voices

behind tho hedge, at the «aune time de-tecting the odor of a pipe, and peepingthrough saw Eliza—our proper and par-ticular Eliza—in her best dress, herpockethandkerchief primly held in herf olded hands, sitting calm and smiling,with the arm of the old genrUeman fromthe poorhouse around her waist. He ,for his part sported a blue tie and a yel-low linen suit, and had in the button-hole of his stiff l y ironed coat a red ge-ranium. • ]

I retired astonished , and I fancy Eliza !suspected my presence, for she came tome next day in a clean apron with anevident purpose in her mind. She openedthe subject in these words:

"For a plain person , on in years,ma'am, would you say if you was askedthat a genteel pale brown was a suitablewedding dres3, with say a bonnet tomatch, and lace neck plaitings?"

"Decidedly ,"I said."Then I think Til git that , ma'am ,"

she said. "I intend to change my con-dition."

"For the better, I hope , Eliza ," I said."For the better , as f ur as worldly

prospects goes, no, ma'am, but as f ur asheart's affection counts, yes, I be," saidEliza. "'Persons of matoor years knowstheir own minds. I've thonght it over,I'm fixed in mine."

"aYnd who is the happy man, Eliza?" IaskecL

'•Well , now lie ia happy, ma'am ,"Eliza responded with a chuckle. "ToEee him sit and eat plain cake is a sightfor sore eyes."

"Is it—the—tho old gentleman f romthe"— I faltered.

"Don't be delicate in mentioning it ,ma'am," said Eliza. "The poorhouse—yes'm. M isf ortunes is not f aults, audups and downs may happen to every-body. Thomas and me is going to jinehands and hearts a month from Wednes-day,, which is as soon as the tailor r-.uddressmaker can be depended on.

"Yes'm," said Eliza. "I don't denyhe had writ. I knowed he wns therewhen I came up, and my f eelings at f irstwas fearful , but soon I saw that he wascapabl e of f i xin' up, and I began todo it."

j ' 'I've noticed the improvement ," I said."It's great," said Eliza, "and ho is thnt

I penitent! Lotty Lavender turned out ns! I knowed she would. Livery stable workI ain't like private families. Lotty didn't| get all sho wanted, nnd her temper drove' Thomas to drink. Then ono day a horse

Thomas ain't so handsomo as hewas, of course, but he has improved inmorals and int ellects, and ho has madeit plain to me that he was tempted , andall along his true love was for mo alone."

Mr. De-pew's office from early morning to lateat night is filled witb"all sorts of peoplewith all sorts of quatlons , and the manwho receives the big salary he does mustbe ablo to answer them most satisfac-torily, and always in the interests of theNew York Control.

INSTJEANOB aUTD BATHEE-TO.Then take some of the salaries of othei

New Yorkers: H. B. Hyde, president ofthe Equitable Life AjSsorance society,receives $50,000; James W. Alexander ,tho vico president, $40<000, and John A.McCall; the comprroJleT, $35,000. R.

Murray, th'ejyice president ofthe Qerman-Ameri«y company, $35,000.

Then look at some ft" the salaries paidto tho chief officers a banks and trustcompanies. FrederiflP. Olcott , presi-dent of tho Centralwriist company, re-ceives $00 ,000; Richajjjfl King, presidentof tl io Union Trust, receives $50,000;Gen.

The interests of these vast companiesare all under the minute observation ofthe commanding officer. These interestsextend over all the globe, and requiretho greatest judgmeo and tho mostskillful knowledge of lairs. Many ofthese officers by their. : teea knowledgeof affairs of state and lation save theircompanies annually tex times the salarythey receive. They are irovided againstalmost every system . t blackmail byreason of their vast e perience in theconduct of their com; inies, and earntheir salaries many dm liover.

Up in the dry goods listrict tho bigmen of the Clafiin ompany, Teff t ,Weller & Co. and oth r firms of thatcaliber receive on an ( -erage $5,000 to$10,000 a year. There i » several excep-tions where buyers and others rnn theirincomes up from $10, DO to $30,000 ayear.

WAGES OF SffiBiG lffiNA Department Chief Explalna How tba

Apparatus la Worked.In principle the towers aro very sim-

ple. There is an iron tube so pivotedover ono end of a truck that its top maybe raised to a height of sixty feet abovetho street pavement. The upper endterminates in a nozzle. Connected withtho bottom of the pipe is a very largehose. From two to four engines may bscoupled to this hose, and their unitedstreams forced up through the pipe andout of tho nozzle. The nozzle is con-trolled by a man on the truck, so that asolid 21 inch stream may bo directedthrough the top windows of a six storybuilding with ease and certainty. Thenewest tower in the department differsfrom the older ones in several importantdetails.

Tho old tower had to be raised by handpower, and it was a slow and tiresomejob. Moreover, the old tower was madein sections and had to bo screwed to-gether by tho men. Tho new tower haaa twenty-eight foot pipo suspended in-sid e of a slend er steel derrick that istwenty-two feet high. Tho derrick iapivoted over tho f orward wheels of thetruck and when not in uso it, with thepile insido, lies prono upon the truck.At a f iro the derrick is erected by meansof what may bo called engine power—the pi ston rods of two cylinders , whichare very like steam engine cylinders,connect with tho bottom of tho derrick.Instead of steam , however , carbonic acidgas , which is generated in a retort sus-pended near the rear axle of the truck ,is used.

This retort is pa rtly f illed with sodaand water, and whon the time comes f orraising tho tower a small quantity ofvitriol is spilled into this mixture. Thegas is generated in suff icient quantityto create a pressure in the cylinders ofabove 100 pounds to the square inch, andit is this power, exerted through thecylinders, that raises the derrick. Thepipe is elevated above the derrick bymeans of a 6tout metal rope workingover pulleys and a hand winch. Thestream from tho tower can be swungaround in any direction and thrown upor down through a wide arc,—John R.Spearssin Scribner's.

NEW YORK'S WATER TOWER.The plainest features become pretty when

clothed with a fresh , velvety skin.It ia in the power of every woman to

have a soft, fine skin, thus adding much toher charms if she will devote a little timeand care to her toilet.

It should be a duty ns well as n pleasureto every woman to enhance tho powers ofattractiveness.

First of all , one must keep the faco freefrom those unsightly black heads or grubs.

Bathe the face in hot water ; rub on alittle oil , and then take nn old-fashionedwatch-key, and pry out all the large ones.

Afterward mb on cream or any soothingointment.

In tho morning there will be no trace ofthe redness. *

To have a clear skin it is essential to keepthe digestive organs in good order, and tosleep as much as possible.

Sleep will do more to preserve the fresh-ness of youth than any otber ono thing.

At night wash the f.ico in warm water—never use hot—using soap freely to removethe dust of the day.

Then take a pint of cold water , to whicha tablespoonful of bay rum has been added,and bathe the face for five minutes.

Dry the face on a coarse towel , rubbinggently to get up a pleasant friction.

Lastly spread a little cream on the faceand neck.

Use only the finest cream and tho purestsoap in tho market.

In the morning, remove the grease withplenty of warm water and soap—followedby a cold bath, as at night.

Thon apply a little powder with a softlinen rag, to remove the shine.

Powder is an essentinl adjunct to a lady'stoilet—let men say what they will to thecontrary—but never use a cheap powder.

The best tvill bo found harmless.Avoid all faco lotions, as tbeir use is sure

to ruin the skin.By following tho above directions you

will find in a short time that those horridlittlo specks that give the skin such a coarselook will disappear , and the skin becomeas soft as a roso petal.

Xrrnorance About Court*.There is a surprising popular lack of

information on the subject of tho pow-ers and functions of courts. It would beamusing in any ordinary company toget the ideas of most of those present ontho distinctions between the courts oftho United States, the state , the countynnd the municipality, the limitations ofthe civil and criminal courts, and thopowers of police magistrates. It is acommon thing for people to express sur-prise that on such brief trials policemagistrates should be ablo to commitpeople to prison for months. The fact isthat polico magistrates have no suchpower , althou gh tho f orm of expressionused in police reports , "He got sixmonths," might well lead to such a be-lief. The fact is that the sentence ofimprisonment in such cases i.s alterna-tive with the giving of bail for good be-havior. It is a common thing for peo-ple who ought to know better to sit allday in a police court , only to finil at thecloso tbnt the remedy tliey seek couldonly be had in a civil court.—New YorkSun.

Tlio Secret of Reali ty.One of the most troublesome questions

to contend with in traveling in China isthat of money. Aa is well known the Chi-neso have no other currency than the cop-per cash, about fifteen hundred of whichare worth at Peking a Chinese ounce of

j pure silver, called by foreigners a " tael ofsycee." Silver is naturally used in com-mercial transactions , but as bullion only,and by weight , so every one has to have aset of small scales. Tho inconveniencethat this woighing entails would be com-paratively small were all tho ecalosthroughout the empire uniform , but suchis not the case. They differ considerablyfrom one town to another , and even in thesame locality. Tims at Peking there is agovernment standard, a maritime customsstandard and a commercial standard.

The samo diversity is fonnd all over theempire , nnd tho consequent complicationsanel even serious loss in exchange are acontinual vexation. Nor is it possible toescape this loss by carry ing copper cashwith one ; for , putting aside tlieir exces-sive weight, there is not even a standardcash in China. Thoso used at T'ientsin nrenot nsed in Peking; thoso at Peking nrenot current, except at a discount , at T'ai-yuau. Ilero I bought a very debased kind

. of cosh , giving one " large cash " for fourof them ; a hundred miles farther souththeso small cash were at par, and even, ina few cases, at a slight premium over theintrinsically moro valuable large one.

Tho Mongols , Tibetans and Turkesto-nese have nover consented to uso the Chi-nese copper cash , although it is the stand*ard money of the realm. The first namedpeoplo use silver ingots , or brick tea ; theothers have a silver currency of their own.C.ntury.

• .a.—s Travel Over tlie l irooklyn Brldgro.Tho travel over Iho Brooklyn Bridge is

greater thau that over any bridge in thaworld , and that , too, iu spite of tlio factthat tho best patronizod bridges on theother side are free. During the year justpassed over 33,000,000 people either .walk-ed or were driven over the bridge. On anaverage six persons tAke the cars to onewho walks over. In round numbers thosewho walked over wero21 ,Gj O ,000 as against128,000,000 who used the trains since theopening of the structure. During tbe firstsix years tho receipts for travel were over$4,300,000. Tlio railway surpassos in thomatter of recei pts any mile of railway inthe world. The ferries cannot vie with thebridge in tho mailer of travel. In theirbest year , when not exposed to bridgecompetition , the Hamilton. Wall , South ,Fulton and Catherine ferries carried alto-gether only about 40,000,000 people. AUthe tickets used on tho bridge are printedon order from the superintendent by abank nolo company it", million lots. Everyticket is numbered and lettered anil theletter on each ticket corresponds to theletter or form by which each tickot selleris known to the superintendent. Should acounterfeit ticket be found in a drop box,its origin is easily traced , because thu dropbox must not show any two tickets markedalike and must contain only the ticketswith tho particular numbers charged tothe agent. The drop boxes are receptaclesfor nil kinds of curious things. Ladies'bracelets, gloves , pockctbouks , milk tick-els, letters , postal cards, silver pieces,bank checks, cu!T buttons and a thonsandand ono other things have been takenfrom the boxes fro:u time to time.— NewYork Teitgram.

Eliza Boerum had lived iu orrr f amilyf or many years when I f irst rememberlier. Sho was tall and straight , withthe flattest back I ever saw , and large,well developed limbs.

I do not suppose that any ono hadOver thonght hei- pretty, but ahe was astidy as a waiting maid in a comedy, and

j tho fluting nnd plaiting lhat ahe woronpon her cap and apron wero miraculous.As for her face, it shone with much wash-ing, having polished spots oa the cheek-bones and ehin , the eurve of her highnose and tho ttvo prominent points of herforehead. Not a hair escaped from thesmooth, dark, tight braid st tho back ofher head , nothing about her was everout of order.

I fancy sho was nearer 40 than 30 atthis time , but I know that ThomasTripp, the coachman, was 40, for hosaid so.

"Forty, and I 'll bo going on f or an oldbachelor before long," he said. -Tvegot to look out and marry soon, haven'tI, Missus Cook?"

"Mnrriago, Mr. Thomas," said Eliz aover her shoulder—she was busy with apuiltliiig—"is a matter I haven't takenmuch thought of , being a spinstress my-self."

"Not by no means , Missus Cook ," saidThomas—"not by no means. ¦ A fino fig-ure of a woman, with opportunities tochango her condition , has HO call to men-tion herself by that name."

"Old maids is honorable," said Eliza."Ay, anil I've heard them say that

old bachelors was abominable, by wayof making a rhyme to it ," said ThomasTripp. "I'm goin' to marry. How aboutyou.

"1*11 wait until somebody off er s, andthen think it over," said Eliza.

I was sitting on the window pill eat-ing a cake, anil I remember that I conldsee no reason wh y Eliza should stop herwork and chase Thomas out of thekitchen wi th a dish towel at that mo-ment, but ho seemed to like it.

aVftor that I used to find him therevery often. They wero always sittingon chairs at a {Treat distance apart look-ing silly when I camo in , nnd Eliza al-ways thought that it would be betterfor my health to "go and eat my nicecake in the garden, because the kitchenwas so warm."

Shortly it was known that Eliza Boer-um and Thomas Tripp were engaged tobe married, and would stay on in thefamily in Iheir several capacities.

We wero quito excited about the wed-ding, nnd tho room abovo the coachhouse was furnir,hed with comparativesplendor.

It was just at this timo that Selina,our somewhat venerable waitress , re-tired on her savings, nnd it was neces-sary to get a new girl in her place. Itwas Eliza wlio begged my mother totako Lottv Lavender.

"You sec," said Eliza, "it will bo sucha wonderful thing for the girl to get intoa good family. She's been let to runabout from ono place to another, and shenever has a dollar left to put away.Being with young, giddy folks sho fol-lows.the'm, but with settled people likeme and Jlr. Thomas she'll have no temp-tation. Her mother is a friend of myown , and .she sa3"s only yesterday :

'* 'Oh, Liza, if she can have your goodex amp le I shall be truly thankful. '"

And so Lotty came to us. A pretty,peach cheeked, blue eyed creature witha belt not half a yard long, and a coquet-tish manner that made her very attract-ive to my young eyes.

In the kitchen at first it was quitecharming to seo Lotty taking tho adviceof those older and wiser than she, anelgoing to church with Thomas and Elizaon Sunday eveniug; but alas! this is achangeful world.

Young as I was I soon saw thatThomas stared long and often at the newwaitress and was less devotedly atten-tive to his Eliza. I found Eliza alone inthe kitchen in a very low spirited mood,while Lotty was, I knew, talkin g a walkwith Thomas. And one day at dessert astrange thing happened.

Lotty was just bringing in a dish offruit , walking with unusual airinessand looking prettier than over, when ahowl was heard upon the stairs, anel Isaw Thomas rushing stableivard withhis handkerchief to his eye, and at thesame instan t Eliza ap peared behindLotty with her fingers extended like

In a moment moro the girl 's cap wasoff , her embroidered apron in Hatters,the fruit dish on the ground, the peachesand pears rolling about tho lloor, andEliza disappeared down the kitchen stairs,dragging Lotty by her long, back hair.

Thu minister and his wife were diningwi th us. The situation was shocking.

"Is the girl out of her mind?" askedmy father.

"Temporarily," replied mamma.Then the minister's wife began to tell

a-story of a certain cook who went outof her mind and murdered the wholefamily, and I was very much alarmedfor my own safety aud that of the kitten.

Later , when wo were alone, Elis:a ap-peared before my mother , neat as usual ,but with swollen eyes.

"I suppose after the exhibition I havemade of myself , ma'am, I had betterlook for another place? It's past excuses ,I know."

"It was very shocking, Eliza!" saidmy mother , "but 1 pref er that Lottyshould go. I have told her so:"

At this Eliza burst into tears, sobbed:"A—a angel lady! and I'll never forgitit !" and Tetiied.

Meanwhile I had visited Lotty in herbedroom , where she wns packing hertrunk. She had several long scratcheson her cheeks and some of her hair hadbeen pulled out, She spoke .of Eliza as"that spitfire old maid," and threatenedto "have the law of her." Bnt I neverknew of her carrying out her threat, and ,shortly after, we heard that Mr, ThomasTripp was connected with a livery stableand saw his name and that of LottyLavender in the column of marriagenotices.

For many years tho two buttons havofigured at the waist line of tho back oftho man's skirt or frock coat. Now,why are thoy thero? For ornament andeffect? Not so, originally, for these twobuttons were at their beginning forservico and not for decoration. If yonput their inception back into tho timewhen tho big square art embroideredand gorgeously linei overcoats wero

j worn, t'.v i centurie., ago, and when the

J .".ii [ ii.. J of tho timo wero wont to go, i'jrth on dress parade with tho sword at! Ui u side and ready to resent any in-! formality of etiquette, you will find: that in order to reach the s i de arm more

readily the skirts of tho coat were turnedi back in a reverse shaped way and but-

toned or looped upon two buttons at theback placed as these aro at the presentday.

In this wny tliey secured an immunityfrom drapery whon tho comma-.id camo,"Draw and defend thyself ," anel at thesame timo exploited a segment of thorich inside of the skirt of the coat in avery effective way. The tinsel , the sidearm, the court et iquette, the duello andtho gorgeous flowered texture of thecoat have gono bef ore, but thoso twobuttons remain on the tail coats of to-day, a suggestion of that period of laces,brocades anel romance.—Lowiston Jour-nal.

It owed its existence to a passage in"Charles O'M alley," in which Mr. FrankWebb disguised himself ns an itinerentorganist and went about the streets ofDublin playing on a hurdy-gurdy anelcollecting coppers. The governmentought to have dealt very generouslywith our novelists, for few men havosent so many into the army as Charl esLever or so many into tho navy as Capt.Marryat. I have known more cases thanone of university men who havo imitatedLever's whimsical notion ot a practicaljoke; several university men have goneabout tho streets with blackened facesas Christy minstrels.

A little gamin of tbo streets was, how-ever, too sharp f or the undergraduate,although he was got ap in the most ap-proved hurdy-gurdy sty lo and workedaway lustily at the organ handle. Theshort street boy followed him for sometime with great admiration , but with a se-rious doubt in his mind. Then he walkedup to the itinerant musician and said:"You're not a hurdy-gurdy man. Lookat your boots. Look at your hands. I'llgo and tell the proctor." The discom-f ited undergraduate skedaddled to liisrooms , and sent his very moderate earn-ings to a hospital.—Temple Bar.

Tbo Faultless Work of Great Poets.It is usually said, tn hasty generaliza-

tion , that the poetry of the present ageis unique in the extreme refinemen t ofits CTiterior mechanism. Those who saythis are not aware that tbe great poetswhose virile simplicity and robust care-lessness of detail they applaud havo al-most without exception been scrupu-lously attentive to form. No modernwriter has been so learned iu rhythm asMilton , so f aultless in rhyme arrange-ment as Spenser. But what i.s true isthat a care for form and a considerableskill in tho technical art of verse havebeen acquired by writers of a lower or-der , and that this sort of perfection isno longer the hall mark of a great mas-ter.

We may expect it , therefore, to at-tract lass attention in the f uture, andalthough assuredly tho jargon of WaltWhitman will not be accepted , technic-al perfection will more nnd more betaken as a matter of coarse, as a portionof the poet 's training which shall be asindispensable and as littlo worthy ofnotice as that a musician should readhis notes correctly.—Edmund Gosse inForum.

The stranger will still find many cu-rious and interesting relics of olden daysand ways in Shetland. The ancient vil-lage or "toun" of Sound , two miles f romLerwick , is a veritable nest of odd oldfolks and things. Tho inhabitants piquethemselves on possessing the exact spotof ground ou which their ancestors dweltfor moro than a thonsand years. Theyshow fino scorn for "oopstart Lerwick"in tho oft quoted couplet :

Sound was Sound when Lerwick was nam:;Sound'll be Sound wheu Lerwick ii: dune!

and the "Sound wives" still visit Ler-wick on Saturdays with their "kashies"on. their backs, their knitting in fullswing, and their noses high iu lofty con-tempt , waiting on one another until allare done with their errands or shopping,and then returning to Sound, the em-bodiment of haughty toleration.—Cor.Boston Transcript.

"Now , John , I ain't sick," tho sym-pathetic group that had gathered aroundheard her say, "and I"wasn't very muchscart."

"Then what makes you cry so?" askedthc man.

"I know it's f oolish," sho answered ,""but whon that thing went down soawful fast it gavo mo a feeling righthere ," and she placed a thin hand justbelow her heart , "exactly like I had theday your father died. Oh, John! Tohn!it's brought it all back again !"—NewYork Times.

A company has been formed in NewSouth Wales for the purpose of exploit-ing the manufacture of railway brakeshoes from compressed leather. Wasteleather scraps arc steeped in a solutionand subjected to a hydraulic pressure tomold them te—tiny desired shape. Theleather shoe is said to. possess distinct ad-vantages over that of iron, with superiorefficiency in every way. The leathershoo weighs i y pounds against 21 jpounds f or iron, und it will wear threetimes as long. More than this, it has agreater coefficient" of friction, so thatforty pounds cf air pressure is as effect-ive ns seventy pounds with iron brakeshoes.

There is one pre-eminent benefit whichthe introduction of the leather brakeshoo would confer on communitieswhich are subjected to tho necessaryevil of the elevated railroads. Theywould thns be spared tho dangeronsshower of iron particles , which now in-jure so many eyes. An attempt has al-ready been made to remedy this serioussource o f d anger by tho use of com-pressed paper. This, however, wasfound to be impracticable. It is earnest-ly to be hoped that the new shoe willstand the test of practical work.—NewYork Commercial Advertiser.

A Very Original "Toura Truly."What might readily have been mis-

taken for a character out of one of Dick-ens' novels stumped through the cabinsof a Williamsbur g f erry boat yesterdaywith the assistance of a crutch and cane,and, having succeeded in attracting theattention of everybody , addressed the as-semblage as follows :

"Ladies and gentlemen, which it isasking your pardon to bestow on yourstruly a littlo assistance , which I am acripple at tbe present time f or the lastsix months; which I am afflicted w ith avery bad pain, principally in my side,which in consequence J can't work.

I Anythink you choose to give , whichhowever small it may be, will be thank-f ul ly received by yours truly as you passout."

\ The appeal proved a productive oneevidently, for with hardly an exceptionmen and women paused to drop a coininto the extended hand of "yours truly"as they left the boat.—-•few York Times.

Wc are too frequently disposed to thinkof the rapid growth of our American citiesns merely incidental to the settlement of anew country, and to regard the Europeancities as old nnd stationary. It is true thattheir nuclei nro ancient , but so far as thogreater part of tlieir built-up area is con-corned they are almost or quito as new astho American cities. They, liko our ownpopulation centers, havo yrown unprece-dentedly in recent decades , as tho result ofmodern transportation and industrial sys-tems. Thus London to-day is livo timesas large as it was at tho opening of thepresent century. From 1)00 ,000 at thattime, the population o£ London grew to1,1303,000 in 1830 ; nnd by 1835 it hail in-creased to 2,500,000. Sinco 1855 it Lasmoro than doubled.

The preseut sovereign has witnessed again of 200 per cent, or more since sho Lo-gan to reign. There nre three or fourdwellinc- houses now for every ono thatwas visible nt the date of her coronation.In the past forty years from 2.000 to 2,500miles of now streets have been formed inLondon. Who, studying the growth offoreign cities , can doubt tho continuedgrowth of our own ? London is not anexception. All the other great towns ofEngland have grown up as if by magicwithin this century.

The same statement applies to those ofthe continent. Fan's ii live times as largeas it was in tho year 1500 ; Berlin haagrow n much more rapidly than Paris; Vi-enna has expanded marvelously siuco 1840.This is a digression ; but I shall continueit enough further to remark that an exami-nation of the onuses which havo built npthese European ceuters easily justifies thojudgment tbat none of our twenty leadingAmerican cities has begun lo approach itsmaximum size.--Centura.

So More Ocean ItacliiTj.Ko many accidents have resulted from

the racing between the steamships City ofNew York ol tho Ionian line and Teutonicof tbe White Star line , that tho officials ofthe two companies at Liverpool recentlydecidetl tbat after January 1 next the ves-sels of tha two :int>i will run alternatel y,one each wee',:. The Teutonic of the WhiteStar line will make a tri p in the first weekin January. Tlio City of New York willmake the second tri p, nml will be followedby tlio Majestic. On March 18 the City ofParis will make her first trip, following thoweek after the Majestic. Tho companieshave ulso decided that with the permissionof the British government officials vesselsof both Iine3 will carry the mails. Hereto-fore the White Star and Cunard companieshave had a monopoly of thn business. Thenew arrangement will bo of great advan-tage to merchants in both countries, ns itwill make four fast mail trips each month,instead of two ts now.

A singular runaway is rsonrtod fromSouth Brooklyn, N. Y. A woman namedGihlerslcove, who hael lived with her hus-band for over thirty years anil had bornehim four sons, some of whom have attainedmanhood, has left her home because, asBhe states in a letter , her husband had cotfurnished her means to properly clothe her-self and had refused to give her the moneyto have her teoth attended to. She there-fore secured a position at $14 a month, andwith her earnings for a year sbo said thatshe p.oposed to havo her teeth properlyeared for, and with the balance lo buyclothes to last her during life. Then, if

her. husband wonld receive her, she in-

tended to return to him, as she loved him.

Travel in Northern China is accomplish-ed in a cart , a mule litter , or the sacldlo.Tbe first method i.s the most uncomfortablebut the most rapid , the second the mostcomfortable but the slowest , the third themost independent- but the most uncertain.

The enr t used in Northern China has twoheavy wheels, with wooden axle, nosprings, nud a body about four feet longand three broad, over which is ft lightframe-work tup covered with blue cotton.Two mules, driven tandem by a carterseatetl on the left shaft dike it along at arate of about three miles nn hour, an.l onecan make in it nn average of thirty-fivemiles a day, even over the roughest coun-try. It will carry about threo hundredpounds of goods, and oii'n or even two pas-sengers ; and tho tighter ono is squeezedin tlie more coinfortable.it will prove , fortlint , nnd that alone , will bo a protectionfrom tbe terrible jolting over tho roughcountry ioaiH.

It is told iu some old book ot travel iuthe nnrrative of the mission of Lord Am-herst to the court of Peking, if I rememberrightly, that one of his attendants diedfrom the effects of the jolting he receivedduring ft Bhort journey in ono of thesocarts. ' Bnt tliis mode ot travel being themost rapid I adopted it. Several years ofexperience of cart travel in China had rondome bold, so that I did not fear the fatewhich had overtaken the Amherst missionman. Comfortably wrapped in my waddedChinese clothes, I squeezed myself into mycart , feeling like a delicate piece of china-ware packed in cotton , and after a heartyfarewel l to the friends with whom I wasstaying at Peking, tho carters crackedtheir whips, and with a shout to the muleswe wero off.— Century.

Among them are some lamp-stands made of old, carved-wood bed-posts—a good way to utilize old bed-posts—but lovers of old bed-posts hereabouts,who might be lucky enough to own oldcarved-wood bed-posts, would ' cherishthem as a ooat-of-arms , and f or much tl ie¦A/no reason.
