Hard Times.

Peter Hagerman devoured his break
fast with wonderful relish, drank
nearly all the coffee from his wife's cup
she had left to cool, and with her only
clean handkerchief in his pocket started
out boldly i'm search of work, leaving
his kit Of jewelry tools behind him.
Passing bank he stepped in and asked
the President:
''Do you want an assistant here,
cashier, book-keeper, or collecter?"
"Any experience in the business?"
"No, but I'm handy at anything"
DO not want help-all full"
Then he went out and along another
street until he came 10 newspaper
Office where he entered to ask of the
proprietor:
ado you want an editor?"
"No, have all We want" t
"Will work cheap"
''Have you had any experience in the
business?'
"No, but | know when 1 see good
thing in newspaper and can cut it out.

"What salary do you wish?"
cam not particular-the best there is

''No use for editors"
"But | am out of situation"
"Well, look around and find one.
That is the way dogs find Dones and
men find places.
"Well, | don't want any common
place."
''The good ones are generally filled"
Il won't accept poor one-oue that
is not first-class.
''Then you had better wait till there
is demand for inexperienced men for
first-class positions"
Then Peter Hagerman went out and
rolled at ten-pins till near midnight,
and when he went home asked his
wife to go out and find some sewing or
embroidery, or music teaching, to earn
enough to pay for their board, the times
were so hard, and the next day tried
billiards, and feasted on another lunch
counter. He will soon have a situation
and a good one!

Dress I'm the Last Century.

Speaking of dress in the last century,
a writer says: The toilet was the great
sum and business of life, the adjust
ment of the hair the principal employ
ment. Take, for instance, how a lady
Of fashion passed her day. AT ten, af-
ter her ''dish of Bohea," as it was cal
led. generally taken before rising, the
lady arrayed herself in muslin wrap
per, and had a regular reception OF her
friends, while, with her hair disheveled,
the day to the hands of her hairdresser,
for usually she dressed four or five
times day. Her hair dragged off her
face, covered with powder, plastered
with pomatum, frizzed in stiff eurls.
was raised by means of gauze. feathers,
and flowers into an edifice often equal to
her height; four ellis of gauze have been
contained in some of these erections,
with butterflies, birds, and feathers in
troduced-the last the most preposterous
height of, it is recorded, about a yard.
After an hours plastering and frizzing
the hairdresser's task was over, and
weary one it was, though enlivened by
the animated conversation of the visi-
tors. The remainder of the toilet was
finished, the most important of which
was the arrangement of the patches-a
point of great interest. These were
made of black silk, gummed, and cut
into stars, crescents, and other forms.
Patches had originated in France, under
Louis Nv with view to show off the
whiteness of the complexion, but they
were never worn by women of dark
skins. Great was the care in placing
these patches near the eye, the corner
of the mouth, the forehead and the tenn
ple. A lady of the world would wear |
seven or eight, and each had special
designation. She meyer went without
a box of patches, to replace any that
might accidentally fall off; and these
boxes, generally of Battersea enamel,
finely painted by some eminent artist,
had usually tiny looking glass inser-
ted within the lid to help her to repair
her accident. Nor was the rouge-pot |
rouge at that time being an
Indispensable adjunct to the toilet-so
indispensable that when Marie Antoi- /
nette came over to France to marry |
Louis XIV and begged to dispense with |
wearing it, family conclave was held |
at Versailles on the subject, followed by |
a formal order from the King to put it
on-a command which she had no al |
ternative but to obey.

THE BUNCH OF WHEAT. "

We bend to-day DER hallowed form,
And our tears fail quickly down,
As We look our last on fathers face,
With its tranquil peace and patient grace
And hair like silver crown
As we touch our own to the dear cold hands,
From life's long labor at rest,
We notice bunch of golden wheat.
Plucked as token of love 80 sweet
And laid on the silent breast
Flowers would have whispered of fadeless
bloom
In land where fall no tears.
But the ripe wheat tells of the toll and care,
The patient waiting. the trusting prayer,
And the gSrnered good of years
We knew through what labors his hands had
passed
Through what rugged places his feet,
And we loved in the peace of his brow so
white,
As touched already with heavens own light,
As it shone in the ripened wheat.
As each goes up from the fields of earth.
Bearing the treasures of life,
God looks for the gathered grains of good
From the ripening harvest that shining stood
But waiting the reaper's knife.
Then faithfully toll. that in death you may get,
Not only with blossoms sweet,
Not bent with the doubts or burdened with
fears,
Or with dead. dry husks of life's wasted years
But laden with golden wheat

What IL GIycerine

This question is often asked, and an
answer would be of much interest to
many, for it is an article that is much
used, and ought to be found in every
household. 1t is principle which ex-
lists in fat. and fats are combination
of glycerine. Lard, after the lard oil
has been pressed out, is chiefly COM
pound of stearie acid and glycerine.
Where the best candles are manufact-
ured, the compound is broken up, and
the stearic acids is used for candles,
while the glycerine is cleansed and put
up for sale. Pure glycerine should be a
quite thick and colorless liquid. 1t has
no odor; its name is from the Greek
word meaning sweet, and this term
points out one of its most prominent
Misunderstanding sweetness. For its
undrying qualities it is very remark
able. Ii spread out and exposed to the
air, it remains Interchangeable for a long
time. 1t will not mix with oils, but
mixes freely with alcohol and with
water, and has solvent power for nu-
merous substances. Ii is much used in
medicine as solvent for many drugs.
In medical preparations it is much used
instead of sugar. We all know of its
excellent qualities for chapped and
sore hands, face, and lips, keeping the
parts from the air, and is much more
convenient than other oily matters.
Diluted with water it makes good
hair dressing, keeping the hair smooth
and moist and rendering it easily
combed. Glycerine does not freeze or
evaporate. 1t is used instead of molas-
ses to mix in glue, to form the rollers
by which ink is applied to type. 1t is
exclusively used in cities to put in gas
meters, and in many other ways.
These are only few of the uses to
which it can be put. 1t would be still
more generally used If people knew the
virtue of this interesting chemical prod
uce.

ali actual outbreak, but to create a feel
ing which the government would be
able to refer to, and have reported upon
by the consuls, to the effect that if any
concessions were made to the Christians
in Europe the government could not be
responsible for an outbreak in Syria,
however much they might regret it.
The other consul told me that he be-
lieved its object was of different kind.
The government wants money, as /
have said, for the pilgrimage. By pre-
tending that there must be new call
upon the MOslems to go to the war, be
hoped to get in considerable sum of
substitutiOnal money. All however,
agreed that the proclamation was pure
ly mischievous. Unfortunately, none
of them had been able to obtain copy.
1t must be said, to the credit of the
Arab Moslems of Damascus, who hate
and despise the Turks, that all the
copies were torn down short time at
ter they were put up, one Arab of great
soy ms, AA siS piS'ShNS VI
consular cavass, as he tore Ii down,
I'VE are not going to have Mischief
made in that way" -.E .
was informed in Damascus by one
of the consuls, who knows the place
well, that some of the leaders in the
massacre are now holding situations
under government, and have been pro-
NOTED. Englishmen will do well TO bear
in mind that the promotion of leaders
of massacres of Christians is that which
seems right to the Turk. They may
have to be punished, though how skilled
the government is in evading such pun
ishment the second inquiry into the
murder of the consul last spring at Sa-
lonica has sufficiently shown; but if
they are punished it is only the result
of European dictation, and as soon as
will be possible the offenders will be
taken back to the heart of the Turk. 1t
may possibly turn out as [ have sug-
gested already, that the Turkish gov
ernment would not be unwilling just at
the present moment to make political
capital out of the existence of MoSlem
in some of the Syrian towns;
to say to Europe if such and such terms !
are imposed upon us, it will be impossi- |
BILE to restrain our Modern subjects.

A Convict Wiser than his Judge.

The history Jurisprudence probably
does not afford more amusing story
than that of an incident which occurred
two or three weeks ago in an English
court, when man who had been con-
victed at the previous session of an at
tempt to steal was brought up and sem
fenced to five years penal servitude.
What five years for an attempt !" he
exclaimed. sit ought only to be two
years." He went back to his cell, but
his comment on the sentence was cor
rect, and in few minutes he was re-
called to the dock when an amended
sentence was passed upon him. II told
you so N he remarked triumphantly,
and he went back to his cell elated at
having saved three years. az
