Thu nnfeated Man Agent.

A map agent went into one of our
manufacturing establishments recently,
with an egotisticaI idea that his power
of reading faces was a great aid to him
In his business. He looked the shop over
and hxed upon a commonplace looking
workman, with an intelligent face, as
the individual upon whom to commence
business. Approaching the man he
touched spring, and down dropped an
elaborate map of Connecticut, with its
towns, railroads and rivers properly To-
Gated Then it was earnestly and COM
prehensively described by the glib agent,
who briefly stated the advantage of
such an educational chart to the posses
sor, etc.
The workman looked up very inno-
Gently from his work, and said:
That's mighty pretty; should think
itwould be first rate In family. What's
the expense of such an articleW
"Only one dollar an fifty responded
the agent, dilating on the bargain there
was In the value offered for such a small
amount of cash.
" Would you rather have one dollar
and fifty cents than to have that p asked
the workman.
" Certainly" responded the agent.
Well, / don't know much about such
things" said the laborer, "but with
your experience, if you feel that you had
rather have dollar fifty than the map,
why, think | had, too"
The map agent saw that the common
place looking workman had bagged his
game, and left the shop without attempt
ing to induce any of the other workmeh
TO invest in his goods.

Taking Her hE Storm.

A novel courtship occurred at At
lanta, Ga, the other day. While a
widow lady was waiting in the railway
station for q train, strange gentleman
walked up to her and poured cut tale
of love with such volubility and ardor
that she could not stop him till he
wound up with an oferof marriage. He
informed the lady that he owned one
thousand acres Of land in the western
part Of the state, and was the fond parent
of two interesting children, aged seven
and eight years. He begged her to
marry him at once, and if she could not
do so, then to register promise that she
would not defer the nuptial ceremony
longer than the ensuing Saturday. When
the lady got & chance to speak she re-
piled that, never having seen him before,
and not even knowing his name, she
could not for & moment think of marry
ing him in such haste. Upon this the
passionate lover granted her a brief hour
for reflection, and walked away, but re-
turned promptly before the departure
of the train, and taking a seat behind
her in in the car, he resumed his plead
ings in the most ardent manner and was
thus engaged as the train passed out Of
the station. 1t would be interesting to
know the result of this strange love af-
fair, but the Boston Journal thinks the
chances are that the ardent woOer won
the widow

Rules for Spelling a Child.

1. Begin young by giving him what he
cries for.
2. Talk freely before the child about
his smartness as Incompatible.
3. Tell him that he is too much fol
you; that you can do nothing with him.
4. Have divided counsels, as between
father and mother.
5. Let him learn to regard his father
as a creature of unlimited power, capri
cious and tyrannical; or a mere whip
ping-machine.
6. Let him learn (from his fathers ex-
ample) to despise his mother.
z. Do not know or care who his com
panions may be.
s. Let him read whatever he likes.
9. Let the child, boy or girl, rove the
streets in the evening.
10. Devote yourself to making money,
remembering always that wealth is bet
ter legacy for your child than principles
in the heart and habits in the life, and
let him have plenty of money to spend.
IL. Be not with him in the hours of
recreation.
II. Strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel: chastise severely for fOible and
laugh at vice.
Is. Let him run about from church to
church. Eclecticism in religion is the or
der of the day.
IA Whatever burdens of virtuous re-
quirements you lay on his shoulders,
touch not one with one of your fingers.
Preach gold and practice irredeemable
greenbacks. The rules are not untried.
Many parents have proved them, with
substantial uniformity of results. If a
faithful observance ofthem does not spoil
your child, you will at least have the
comforting reflection that you have done
what you could.

A Lone Centanarian.
New York Herald.l


An aged woman with feeble step tot
tered into the Gregory street police
station, in Jersey City. She was poorly
clad, and in her hand she carried few
lead pencils. She said she was homeless
and without friends, and asked that
lodging be given her for the night. She
gave her name as Catherine German, q
native of Ireland, and said that she was
in her Tooth year, her centennial natal
day being in November. She came to
this country seventy years ago in COM
pany with her husband and two young
sons. When her husband died, he left
her in comfortable circumstances, but
her boys were addicted to drink, and alb
sorbed her little property in satisfying
their appetites for liquor. Both were
long since dead, and she was thrown on
the worlds charity. Too Independent
to beg or enter a charitable institution,
she eked out miserable living by wan
dering from place to place selling lead
pencils. Yesterday she had i'll luck, and
had not made sufficient to pay for lodg-
ing. She was assigned to the softest bed
in the station. She thanked the Ser
geant who was on duty fervently, and re-
tired to her room, where for several min
utes could be heard her earnest prayers.

The Tomnto. or g Lore Apple.,,

It is within the memory of man, now
living, when the tomato, or Glove apple"
was cultivated only as an ornament.
The extent to which it now enters into
the consumption of all classes is sur
prising. Some idea of the quantity may
be drawn from the carefully collected
statistics which the American Grocer
has recently published of the amount
canned in 1873. According to this esti-
mate, the packages put up in the United
States last year amounted to 1905, 900,
distributed as follows: New Jersey,
1892, 900; Maryland, $4,000; Della
ware, 1,884,000; New York, 1,680,000;
Massachusetts,, 100000; Pennsylvania,
10000; Pacific Coast, 1900; Western
and other States, 100000. This makes
no account of the vast quantities canned
by families for private use, nor of the
great amount eaten in the raw state.
The prices for the year have averaged
from ninety cents to $1.10 per dozen,
making the valne of this industry to the
trade something more than 81 500, coo.

One Eve Tint Was Always Drunk.

lElJJsDuIg Leader
An Allegheny physician, who, in his
way, is a great wag, tells story of a
North Side gentleman who for years has
suffered from periodical attacks of what
in medical paTlance is known as SUPERIOR
bital neuralgia. Quinine proved of no
effect, and the sufferer was almost crazed
with pain. A kind-hearted old lady
living in the neighborhood of the patient
informed him that if he would cut the
affected nerve with a pair of scissors or a
knife it would give him no further
trouble. It so happens that the super
orbitaI nerve is the one which controls
the action of the eyelid, and it further
happens that when man is in liquor
this nerve becomes paralyzed, and it is
this that gives drunken person such a
comical expression about the eyes. The
neuralgia patient no sooner heard what
he supposed the welcome news from the
old lady than he repaired to his closet
and with a jack-knife parted in twain
the offending nerve, and he now greets
his friends with his right eye as sober as
a Quaker in quarterly meeting, and
the left in highly intoxicated condition.
1t now only costs half as much as it
formerly did to go on a bender.

Joaquin Miller Makes a Night Of It
in fhe SierraS.
joaquin Miller in the independent


To me the grandest poem on earth is
night in a deep, half tropical forest.
There Is nothing so mighty, so Miltonic
as this, the myriad voices at night
When / was living in the Southern
SierTas one of your greatest preachers
came that way. I, by chance, got to
talking 20 him of the voices and noises
high up on the mountains. He was
honestly amazed. He said he thought
the world slept in the wilderness; but he
would find the world very much awake
If he would spend a night high up from
the habitationsof man. He was resolved
to see. And so, with two blankets and
two pistols, some bread and bottle of
provisions, we climbed up the steep,
timbered mountain, mile above any
habitation. We spread our blankets
under mighty tree. We saw the day
fade and die on the far snow peaks, and
ats ghost came down in darkness and
covered US with its wings. The first
thing we heard was a great, black bug
that came buzzing along. 1t struck the
tree and fell down on the doctors
blanket Nothing dangerous in a bug.
The doctor was delighted. He caught
it up; classified it with a Latin name
big enough to kill it; put pin through
it and resolved to keep it as a specimen
and trophy of the night. Suddenly,
far across on the other mountain side,
there arose the howl of a hundred
wolves; then a thousand wolves high
upon the mountain-top made the woods
tremble. The doctor was not a bit
frightened. He only sat up little bit
closer to me and whispered gently that
he thought it was going to rain. Then
a broad-winged bird, black owl, struck
In the boughs above US, as if he meant
to tear down the tree. I am subject
to rheumatism" said the doctor, and
don't want to get wet" Then there
came crash! A great grizzly bear that
evidently had business in somebody's
hog-pen, tore through the bush and
woods on his way to the settlement.
Possibly the doctor wanted the bear for
a specimen also, for he sprang up, forgot
his bug, and started for the nearest
house. He should have waited to see
the moon come wheeling up and out of
the Sierras, white and vast as the snow
peaks she laid her broad, bare shoulders
to, the white clouds; to hear the far,
faint call of the night-birds, the beasts
the thousand notes in the poetry and
song of nature at night.

Too Clever to Live.
Chambers Journal. ]


John Barretier is declared to have
been master of five languages when he
was only nine years Of age. In his
eleventh year he published o learned
letter in Latin, and translated the
Travels of Rabbi Benjamin from the
Hebrew into the French. Four years
later the fame of his learning and writ
ings attracted the notice of the King of
Prussia, who sent for him to court
When passing through Halle on his
Journey, he SO distinguished himself in
his conversation with the professors of
the university that they offered him the
degree of Doctor in Philosophy. The
whole university was delighted and
amazed with his wit and knowledge, and
on his arrival at Berlin the King honored
him with peculiar marks of distinction,
declaring that such abilities properly
cultivated might exalt Barretier in ten
years to be the greatest Minister of State
in Europe, but the young philosopher
was not dazzled with such prospects, and
returned to Halle to pursue his studies.
His health unfortunately gave way in
his nineteenth year, and after lingering
for eighteen months, he died; another
illustration of the expression, too
clever to live long"

MurderOus Demands of Fashion.


To satisfy the demand the destruc-
ton of birds upon both continents is en-
Ormous. Birds and feathers take the
place of flowers. Some Of the birds are
nearly as large as pigeons, and, stretched
across bonnet, look painfully natural,
with bill apart, perfectly initiated eyes
and outstretched legs and claws. Here
and there poises a Chinese kingfsher, a
brilliant East Indian corou-corou, the
purple red of the tonager, or the CLINT Of
the large lophodOre The humming
birds are set in clusters, with heads of
flaming fire and breasts of chrysophase
and wings of rosy brown sardonyx, and
other larger birds on the front of a
hat with outspread wings Of fame color,
or black with glancing opal hues and
dashes of scarlet, or plump as any
served up brOiled on toast. In addition
to the natural birds, thousands of little
homely gray birds are sacrificed and dyed
scarlet. Then, again, small parrots of
gaudy crimson and green plumage cling
to a little branch with strong claws, and
look out of yellow eyes at their soft vel
vet and satin surroundings. The guam
tity of parrots and the larger South
American parrOquet proves the popu-
larity of this bird for trimming purposes.
in other cases the green and yellow head
and breast of parrot is adorned with
the long, sweeping tail plumes of the
bird of paradise. A black satin bonnet
is edged with a downy ruche of black
feathers, and a large Orange-colored par
rot, with extended claws, lies half
around the crown.
