And she was fair! A complexion
of lily-liko whitcncss, lips like rcd

Why he Used American Locks.

Mr.. James Hill, being invited to ex-
plain why he used American locks on
large building for the War Department,
has given the English working-classes
very plain talking to. The distress which
exists among them is, he says, largely
due to the injurious action of trades
unions, the drunkenness and improvi-
dence of the men, their antipathy to the
use of machinery, the existence of low
wages and short hours, and the obtuse-
ness of masters who are content to repro
duce the same class of goods from gener-
alton to generation, instead of adapting
themselves to suit the requirements Of
the age. Foreign competition, he says,
would not be possible if the trades unions
would employ their funds in educating
their members instead of fighting their
masters. He cites one case where an
irOnmaster, whose men were getting
about SO week, was offered large
Russian contract at a rate lower than he
man together and said if they could Ie.
duce the cost of labor he would take the
contract, if not it would 90 to Belgium
Let it go to Belgium; we'll follow it
there and have u bit of an outing" they
answered. They are now living on
meal and water Mr. Hill says that the
great bulk of his locks came from this
country, TO which he was driven by the
inferiority and high prices of English
workmanship and the unwillingness of
masters to entertain his ideas of i'm
pr0vement. He visited America last
year and opened up business relations
with two firms that have taken pains to
carry out his views. AS consequence
he is putting American locks on the
great hospital at WalsaIl, within a
stones throw of factories that cannot
produce them as cheaply or yet as good
The freight from New York even is less
than the freight from Willenhal.

a BashfuI Bridegroom.

THE wedding guests were gathered
Il all, the minister was in the parlor,
the marriage feast was piping hot, and
the bride was peeping out of her win
dow and blushing the while, but the
bridegroom was missing. They waited
two hours, and then dispatched broth
er of the bride to find the bridegroom
and meanwhile, lest the the victuals
should spoil, they all sat down to din
ner.
Now, the bridegroom was the most
bashful man in Goshen township, and
possibly in Ohio. He was discovered in
his room with his every. day clothes on,
and with one side of his face shaved
When asked why he had remained
away, he replied that he had attempted
to shave himself but was so scared and
nervous that he could not accomplish it.
He finally told the brother that if he
would finish shaving him, and help to
trim him up, he would go and report for
duty. The brother kindly assisted, and
the two then started for the home of his
anxious bride. When within short
distance of the house, the young mans
heart again failed him. He declared
that he could not face the crowd, and
reluctantly retraced his steps. The
brother went home and reported the re-
suit of his investivation and the preach
er, turning to the lady, said:
I'll never tie you to such man."
On the following Saturday the father
of the young lady was met with the
same plea:
81 can't stand to face such crowd,
but if you will get a squire, and let US
get married after night, 1 will try it
again"
The old gentle man declared that the
ceremony must be performed in the day
time. Finally, the bashful young man
was led into the parlor by the arm,
cooped up in corner, and brought face
to face with maiden and minister.

Sleeping In Church in OIden Times.

ONE of the customs of our fathers
~ was the habit of going to sleep dur
ing church service, and various and
singular were the expedients adopted by
the minister and the deacons to keep
them wide awake. Here is an account
OF funny scene in Lynn (Mass.)
church in 646, during the preaching of
good old Rev. Samuel Whitney, d. ID.
1t is taken from Obadiah Turner's iour-
nal:
1916, June ye Sd: Allen Bridges
hath been chose to wake We sleepers in
meeting and being much proud of his
place must needs have fox taile fixed
to ye end of a long staff wherewith he
may brush the faces of them vt will
have maps in time of discourse: like
wise sharp thorn wherewith he NAV
prick such as may be sounde. On We
Taste Lord his day, as he strutted about
ye meeting house, he did spy Mr.. Tom
lins sleeping with much comfort. his
head kept steadie by being in ye corner
and his hand grasping We rail. And soc
spying Allen did quickle thrust his
staff behind dame BaIlond and gave him
a gfievous pick upon ye hand. Where
upon MIR. Tomlins did spring up much
above ye floor and with terrible force
did strike his hand against ye wall, and
also to ye create wonder of all, prophan-
lie exclaim in q loud voice, 'Cuse the
woodchuck,' he dreaming, as it seemed,
vt a woodchuck had seized and bit his
hand. But on coming to know where
he was, and ye create scandal he had
committed, he seemed very much abash-
ed but did not speake. And / think he
will not soon again go to sleep in meet
ing. Ye woman may sometimes sleep
and none know it by reason of their
enormous bonnets. Mr.. Whitney doth
pleasantlie say vt from ye pulpit
he doth seem to be preaching to
stacks of straw with men iotting here
and there among them"

An Anecdote of Astor.

THE shrewdest business men often
| overreach themselves by petty
meanness towards their employees.
Perhaps there never was better illus
tration of this than an incident in the
lie of John Jacob Astor, or, to speak
more truly, in the life of one of his cap
tains, a man who, in early years, was
the beau ideal of u seaman and through
out his long life had the love and esteem
of all whose good fortune it was to
know him.
He had sailed six voyages to China
without chromometer, depending on
dead reckoning" and ''lunars." Just
before starting on his seventh voyage
he suggested to Mr.. Astor that it would
be safer to have chromometer.
Well, get one," said the merchant.
The captain did so, and entered its cost
in his account current. When Astor's
eyes fell upon the item he drew his pen
ell through it. The captain expostula-
ted said Astor: 6 l tolt you to get one !;
L tidn't say I'd pay for it,"
The captain severed his connection
with Astor then and there, went into
Wall street, engaged with other owners,
and before night was in command of as
fine ship as ever floated in New York's
beautiful bay. In three days she was
ready for sea and set sail.
At the same time Astor's ship, under
the command of u new captain, set sail
also. They had a race for Hong Kong,
but the captain who, as he used to put
it, had discharged John Jacob Astor, by
keeping the men ut the braces took ad-
vantage of every puff of wind, and won
by three days. Then there was lively
work. The ship was loaded in the
shortest time possible, and before Astor 5
vessel which had arrived meantime, was
half loaded, our captain weighed anchor,
and, with full cargo of tea, set sail for
Sandy Hook, arrived in good time, got
his ship alongside the wharf, and began
hOisting out his cargo, which was sold
by auction on the spot.
This glutted the market, for the con-
sumption was comparatively small in
those days, and when Astor's ship came
in the price had fallen. Two days later, as
the captain was sauntering down Broad
way, he met his former employer.

Conduct of Younu Girls.

A N EXCHANGE pertinently re-
n marks: Many young girls like
nothing so much as what they call &c an
adventure" or In other words, attracting
attention Of some male specimen of the
baser sort whose admiration Is an insult.
The repression Of this spirit in young
girls is important, for II Is almost dis.
reputable for young woman to be in
suited. Sober people are inclined to
think that there must have been some
imprudence, perhaps uDcOnsciousIy on
the lady's part of the insulter. If a la
dy is quiet and inclined not to make
herself conspicuous in public convey
ances or elsewhere by talking and laugh
ing, we do not think she need fear any
rude familiarity at all approaching an
insult. She might travel in safety from
one end of the continent to the other, as
free from molestation or annoyance as
in her own fathers house. But we
have noticed with pain, very often, the
boisterous, unladylike manners young
girls, Or young ladies, as they doubtless
term themselves, indulge in when trav-
cling. If they take occasion to enter.
tain each other with jests and recitals
quite too near coarseness in public
places it is not strange that persons of
the baser sort should feel that they were
safe in taking liberties of speech or look
that they would not dream of were their
department quiet and ladylike.
Insults can be guarded against. if not
entirely avoided. Let mothers warn
their daughters against courting rude
ness by bold, noisy and unladylike be-
havior, both at home and abroad, but
most particularly when going to school,
shopping, riding or going to places of
public worship, and they will escape all
molestation. When a woman forgets
her native delicacy and modesty of de-
pertinent she challenges insult.

letter Office, the postmaster OF New
York was instructed to make INQUIRIES
at the Astor House for Chauncey, who.
after some trouble was found and the
money returned to him the same after

this to the young lady living in the
first house beyond the wallet factory,
that wears black dress and sack, white
straw hat and brown face trimmings.
Now don't make mistake" Several
letters are received addressed to the devil,
Santa Claus and other like personages.
Often these letters, with there foolish
superscriptiOns, contain money.

For Husbands.

nON'T think that your wife has less
- feeling than before marriage. Her
relation to you is changed, not her ma
ture.
Don't think that you can dispense
with all the little civilties of life toward
her on marrying. She appreciates those
things quite as much as other woman.
Don't be gruff and rude at home. Had
you been that sort of fellow before mar
riage, the probabilities are that you
would be sewing on your own buttons
still.
Don't make your wife feel that she is
an incumbrance on you by giving her
grudgingly. What she needs give as
cheerfully as If it were a pleasure SO to
do. She will feel better, and SO will
you.
Don't meddle in the affairs Of the
house under her charge. You have no
more right to be poking your nose into

The Dead Letter Office.

Mr. Carleton Hughes lectured in
Washington, recently, on the Mysteries
of the Dead letter Office" Mr.. Hughes
was for some time clerk in the dead
letter Office, and relates some interesting
experiences connected with the delivery
of dead letters. About 10, 900 are opened
daily, and the money contained in these
amounts to about $31 800 month. An
Interesting case was where a gentleman
travelling on business sent letter con
tanning 81 800 to his wife at home. Byun-
accountable neglect he sealed the envel.
ope and deposited it in tile mali without
any address whatever. After the letter
was opened at the dead letter office we
found that he had written but few
lines, announcing his determination to
go further south, not mentioning any
probable destination, aud signing the
name George" There was no clue
TO trace the wife and but a slight one to
find the writer. After u long search
George was discovered on the hotel
register, the only person out of thirty
two OF the same name who had merely
signed his name without saying where
he was from, or whittier going. An.
other case, somewhat similar was the
following; A letter was written, dated
Astor House, New York signed "Chaun-
cey," inclosing $4,000 to lady as a re.
muneratlon for care with which she had
treated his parents. The letter stated he
