How he Got a Coat to Fit Him.

A middle aged son of the Emerald Isle went into 8 Detroit clothing store the other day, and said he wanted 8 '"good, chap coat" He was a big, round shouldersd man, and his arms were almost as long as those of Sir Dan Donnelly, who could "button the ex- tremities of his knee-breeches without stooping." The largest trade size of coats is No. A, and the salesman took one of that size from the pile and tried it on his customer. It was too small every way, particularly in the sleeves. The cuffs were six inches above the wrists, and tho customer said he felt like 8 pot of porridge that had boiled over. The salesman handed the coat to an assistant and said: s'Bring here a forty-four coat" The assistant fumbled little at the pile, and brought back the same coat. It was tried and rejected, the customer remarking: "Sure, if I wore that coat they'd be sayin' was a gossoon that wasn't done growth. '" " You are an awful big man," said the astute salesman, winking at his fellow clerk; "I'll try No. AS on you."
 |" Make it forty nine, for the honor of ould Ireland," said the patriotic Mile sian. Forty y-nine was brought (the same coat) and also found too small. A Napoleonic look of decision illumined the face of the salesman as he confident ly cried: ''Bring here fifty-two coat. I'm bound to fit you, anyhow" The identical coat was again tried on, and the customer appeared satisfied. "I never get sleeves long enough for me, D said he, "but I'll get them heightened out, and then they will be all right. ''
 He bought the coat. .E

LOTTERIES,
The Question of Baggage.

The impossibility of handling prompt ly and satisfactorily the huge quantity of cumbrous baggage that has been poured into Philadelphia, moves the Ledger to make these suggestions The trunk or any other piece of luggage that cannot be carried in the hand by the visitor, and be in the railway car under the eye of the visitor while travel ing, is 8 perpetual source of anxiety, disappointment, and vexation. Railway depots have pyramids of them, which the owners never see until about to re- turn home. What can be carried in the hand valise, the sachel, or with the wraps in the shawl strap, is all-suf6cient for visitors to the Centennial Exhibi- tion. The prevailing style of dress in Philadelphia, at this time, is the dress that people travel in. It is recognized and encouraged as the proper thing for all occasions, whether for street dress, dinner dress, or evening dress, and it is universal at the Exhibition. Travellers and visitors are here in sufficient num- bers to make the style. We repeat that no luggage is needed at this time for any purposes of etiquette or ceremony in Philadelphia beyond what visitors travel in and can carry in the sachel, vaiise, or shawl strap. Those who bring trunks are simply sowing for themselves tue seeds for big crop of delays, regrets, disappointments, and vexations.

Piece Work.

While piece work is strongly resisted by the association of the Amalgamated Engineers in England in its corporate capa city, and by certain proportion of the workmen is much disliked in many important districts, the men who have learned its value to the able and industrious mechanic would strenuously oppose any proposal to limit its opera tions.
 Here I cannot do better than give an extract from MT. Brassey's essay on "Work and Wages" recording the ex- perience of the authors father, whose testimony is emphatically in favor of piece work.
 My father, says MT. Brassey, always preferred putting price upon the work rather than paying by the day. This system was modified to suit the usual habits of the people with whom he had to deal. Piece work could not in all cases be adopted without some comph- cations and difficulties; but my father always looked upon day workas losing game, and all his work was carried out, as far as possible, by sub-contract, which is piece work on somewhat larger scale. Even the scaffolding for the erection of an iron bridge, such as that over the Severn, near Colebrook dale, of 200 feet span, was carried out upon the principle of sub contract; and the same system was adopted for the excavation of shaftsand adjacentlengths of tunnel. Payment by piece is benef- cial alike to the master and the man. The man earns higher wages while the master has the satisfaction of obtaining an equivalent for the wages he has paid, and completing the contrcct which he has undertaken with far greater rapid ity. On public works the difference in the earnings of the men paid by piece work and the men working by the day was always remarkable. In the canal making days men working in sutty gangs would earn four shillings, while others working on the day system would not earn more than from two to three shillings day. ..-.
 It seems to me that piece work is one of the many instances i'll which friend has been mistaken for an enemy; and that great calamity would befall those who have denounced it if their denunci- ations were carried into practical effect.

Dividing it Up.

A certain peasant visited the hodia of Turkey one day, and presented him with hare. The giver was treated with great consideration, and a soup was made of the hare.
 Next week the peasant came again.
 "Who are you? ?"
 "I am the man who gave you the hare."
 "Oh, yes;" and he was again well re- ceived.
 Some time afterward came several persons and demanded hospitality.
 "Who are you9"
 "We are the neighbors of the man who gave you the hare." ....
 "Oh, yes; you are welcome;" and they also were well received.
 Not long after this appeared quite a troop of people.
 Who are you" 1"
 {" We are the neighbors of the neigh bors of the man who gave you the hare. |"
 'sOh, yes; you are welcome"
 So they were shown in, and the hodja presently set before each of them cup of clear water.
 "The man is fool," they said, upon beholding such an entertainment as that.
 But the hodja answered.: "This is the sauce of the sauce of the hare."

English Country Towns.

The inhabitants of a country town in England, says Louis Jennings, if not jolly, are contented. The squire in the neighborhood is not quite such a despot now as he used to be-once the pros perity of any man in the town near him depended on his nod.. The idea of set ting up shop without his gracious pa tronage would have been mere madness. He was generally very much opposed to more than one child in the family being sent to school, and had no very good opinion of workingmen who could read and write. Now all is changed-the owner of the large house and park is very liberal in contributing to the sup port of schools and churches, and al- though he is still person of import ance in his neighborhood, the people are no longer afraid of him. His custom is worth having, but in these days the bulk of his supplies for the house is brought from London, and vegetables, fruit and game he gets from his own estate. The shopkeepers, therefore, make very little out of the big families," and ofteu wonder how they manage to live. was talking the other day to poulterer and fishmongey, and he told me, con6den- italy, that it was hard to make both ends meet.

The Irish Medal.

The medal presented by the Irish citizens of the District of Columbia to the member of the Irish team making the largest score consists of beautiful five-poiuted golden star, depending from pin in the form of an eagle with outstretched wings. The weight of the medal is sixty pennyweights. A dia- mond is imbedded at each point of the star. In the center of the star is an en- graving of the Capitol building, on one side of which are the figures "1776, :" and on the other "1976." At the lower part of the star black and white enam- eled target with diamond as @ bulls eye. Crossed over the upper part of the star are two rifles joined together at the top and secured to the upper point of the star by a miniature laurel wreath in gold. From the talons of the eagle, which is of solid gold, in bold relief, are stretched to either side the American and Irish flags done iu enamel,

Life in California.

Such incidents as the following are still common in stage coach travelling in California The coach contained eight men and four women, all unarmed. When the coach reached part of the road lined by thick growth of brush, into which it is impossible to turn a loaded wagon or even light ono, two men sprung up and commanded the driver to stop ard throw out u . express boxes. Both men wore whise cloths under their hats, one el;d being thrown up over the front of inc hat and the other, with eye holes, covering the face. One man, with double barreled shot, gun, aimed at the driver, and the other a5 tue body uf the coach where the pas sengers mostly were. After a short barley two boxes of treasure were thrown cut. and the driver was compelled to drive on, the shotgun covering him until he was hidden by turn in the road.
