"How Old are You, Miss?,

A Jersey City Journal reporter, entering
the North Hudson County Railroad Office at
Hoboken, the other morning, notiGsd the
following curious order, posted consp cuous
ly in the money taking Department. 'In case
conductors have any doubt about the age of
quiet way whether she is over 15 years of
age. If she says no, the conductor must take
her word, and make no further remarks.
If the conductors think they are imposed
upon. they must report to tho office" The
reporter questioned Charles Elcke, the re-
ceiver. as TO the object of such a curious or
der, and was informed that it appertalned
to school girls who ride regularly on the cars
of the company on school tickets, which are
sold at reduced rates. 1t appears that car
tain girls who are over 15 years OF age are
riding on children's tickets which are sold
at a discount, and the conductors have ex.
perienced considerable trouble in conse-
large persist in using chfldren's tickets, and
they have been offended at the rudeness of
conductors who ask loudly in the cars
whether they are over 10 years old. There
is no doubt but that imposition is practiced,
probably innocently, BY some of
the boys and girls on the
%sde y cheek an psdsnt soIt Bonn oein
heard repeated complaints about the impo-
hteness of conductors and drivers in ques-
tioning young ladies as to their age, hence
the order. Instead of yelling out "How old
are you, Miss?" the conductors will please
get into closer proximity to the maiden's
ear and whisper softly: Are you over 15
years old? If the conductor is handsome
and chiyalrous the maidens may not object,
but, good gracious, let tobacco -devourer or
a whisky. guzzler puff the fumes of his breath
under the nostrlls of the young beauties and
then there will be war.

"Un to Snuff"

An exchange says: "a genial observer of
public men IN the United States is amused
at the publicldexterity of those anxious to
serve as presidential candidates. If he Is a
veteran, as well as q genial observer, he
smiles as he compares these prentice hands
with the master of political adroitness,
Martin Van Buren,.
Looking upon politics as q game, Mr.. Van
Buren played it with forecast and sagacity,
and with the utmost good-nature. No ex-
citement quickened his moderation. Even
the most biting of personal sarcasms failed
to ruffie temper that seemed incapable Of
being disturbed.
Once while Mr.. Van Buren,, being the vice
president, was presiding over the Senate,
Henry Clay attacked him in speech
freighted with sarcasm and invective.
Mr.. Van Buren, sat in the chair, with a
quiet smile upon his face, as placidly as
though he was listening to the compliment
ary remarks of q friend.
The moment Mr.. Clay resumed his seat, a
page handed him Mr.. Van Buren's snuff box
with the remark:
"The vice president sends his compliments
to you, SIR"
The Senate laughed at the coolness of the
man who was "up to snuff" The great ora
tor, seeing that his effoI is had been in vain,
shook his finger good-naturedly at his i'm
perturable opponent, and taking large
pinch of snuff returned the box to the boy,
saying:
.'Giye my compliments to the vice presi-
dent. and say that like his snuff much bet
ter than his politics.

A Young Woman, Suffering from a Cancer,
Removes 1t With Common knife.
[olean Times, April Isl
We are taught to CONSIDER the examples
set by Spartan women of ancient history as
the grandest examples of heroism in women,
and the visionary records of the past TEEN
with wonderful stories of marvel us endur-
ance OF selfinflicted sufferlngs. Men have
long claimed for their sex the chiefest fame
and the most glorious crowns of martyrdom,
but the many true stories of woman's hero
ism far transcend in sublimity OF self-deyo-
ton, anything ever recorded outside of Holy
Writ, OF the sterner sex.
The latest example that has come to our
notice Is surrounded with no adventitious
halo OF romance. The instance we are about
to relate, although a very pearl of womanly
courage Is not set in any gilded encourage,
| in fact all but the act itself, even the hero
inc, is of humble and unpretentious con-
comitants.
two farms on the main settlement, near
! Portville, about seven miles distant from

invalid for many years. She herself has long
suffered with a terrible cancer on the upper

! treatment resorted to, but with no hopeful
result. Expert medical men pronounced
the case hopeless one, and the poor girl
was regarded by all, and by herself, as the
doomed victim of the dreadful disease. A
lady doctor of reputed skill in the treatment
of cancer recently visited the sufferer, but
gave no word of encouragement. After she
had gone Mary shed no tears, but resolved
upon desperate and dangerous expedient,
and when she had resolved speedily
carried her design into execution
She ran a stout needle beneath the
cancer, drawing a thread through
| it. With this thread she tied the artery,
using her teeth to aid her. She then
took sharp table knife and cut the cancer
which was of unusual size, out of her arm.
| This done she took the mass OF quivering
flesh, which she had removed from her arm,
and without word to any one, buried it in
the rear of the cottage. So quietly had the
girl gone through with the terrible operation
that no one in the house was aware of it
until some time after. She having bound
up and covered the terrible wound in her
arm. went about her household work as
usual. OF course the result of this fearful
piece of surgery is difficult to predict The
girl is not at present suffering any i'll effects
and it is sincerely to be hoped that SO much
courage and endurance will be rewarded by
| q complete cure.

Cork.

1t may not be generally known that this
valuable substance is nothing more or less
than the bark of an evergreen oak, growing
principally in Spain, and other countries
bordering on the Mediterranean. In Eng-
lish gardens it Is only q curiosity. When
the cork tree is about Is years old the bark
hss attained q thickness and quality suitable
for manufacturing purposes, and, after
stripping. q further growth of eight years pro-
duces a second crop, and so on, at intervals
for even 10 or II crops. The bark Is stripped
from the tree in pieces two inches in thick
ness, of considerable length, and OF such
width as to retain the curved form OF the
trunk when it has been stripped. The bark
peeler or cutter makes q slit in the bark with
q knife, perpendicularly from the top to the
bottom: ne make mother incision parallel
to it, and at some distance from the former,
and two shorter horizontal cats
at the top and bottom. Fox the strip
ping of the piece thus insulated ne uses .
kind of knife with two handles and .
curved blade; sometimes after the cu.s have
been made he leaves the tree to throw OF
the bark by the spontaneous action OF the
vegetation within the trunk. The detached
pieces are soaked In water, and are placed
over fire when nearly dry, and acquire >
more compact tsxture by being soorched.

HARD LUCK.

A work unspoken, hand impressed,
a look unseen or q thought unguessed,
And souls that were kindred may live apart,
Never to meet or know the truth,
Never to know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days of a wasted youth.
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her tresseS swept;
As she leaned to give him the jasmine wreath
She felt his breath, and her face flushed red
With the passionate love that choked her
breath,
A faded woman who waits for death,
And murmurs q name beneath her breath;
N cynical man who SCOTS and jeers
At women and love in the open day,
And at night time kisses. with bitter tears,
a faded fragment of jasmine spray.
