Notes and Why's OF Travel.

Why should so many second-class ho-
tells with the furnishings, structure and
general inconvenience of generation
ago rival the genuine frst-class houses
only in their prices?
WHY is the American hotel breakfast
or dining table such silent, sad, seri-
Gus affair? Why dare no one raise his
or her voice above a whisper? Why
does 1t so often seem as if the corpse
was laid out in the next room?
Why does every one prick up their
ears when you make an audible remark?
Why cannot we import little French
ease and gayety at our public tablesP
Why have some hotels such imposing
"wine lists on the backs of their bills
of fare when the bread is poor, the cof-
fee chicorized, the tea feeble, the veg
etables over sailed and the meats
greasy? T. .. N..- I'll & !,
Why might not brakemen be drilled
in some preparatory school of railway
elocution and there taught SO to enun-
ciate their syllables that the anxious
passenger shall catch some inteHigible
sound? Why should "ville' be the
OllN ~ IlduIO HCdl u u DOSuSh ulc, VI
81 hannah the only ineligible hearing
given OF Susquehannah? Why not make
the brakeman call the name twice rath-
er than that the perplexed passenger be
carried past his place of designation
once?
Why do not all hotel chambermaids
cleanse hotel bureau drawers of the re-
mains of odoriferous lunches, medicine
walls and general uncleanliness left by
former lodgersP
Why should the hotel waiter keep this
guest waiting so much longer for his
dinner-and a poor one at that-than
the man who slips quarter into his
dusky palm? -|
Isn't it funny and sometimes tedious
to find but two walters at. table to every
square acre of dining room in your 50
per day hotel?
Isn't it amusing, yet withal eXasper-
ating to see a head waiter directing the
movements of these two walters and
looking on complacently while you wait
half an hour for dinner, and all at your
50 per day hotel?
Why do some landlords encourage a
chronic lot of town or village loafers to
dawdle about the front entrance to
stare every lady guest who comes in or
goes out?-N Y Graphic.

Claude MeInotte in Real Life.

Twas recently told by young French
gentleman (the son of the Project of
La Rochelle) one of the strangest ro-
manceS OF real life that ever came to
my knowledge. Some four years AGO
q peasant boy who lived on a farm near
the town of Clermont-Ferrand saw and
fell in love with the beautiful daughter
of gentleman of good fortune and DO
sition, he being at the time seventeen
years Of age and the young lady Just
sixteen. This new Claude Melnotte
WAS So madly in love that he went
straight TO the house of the young girls
parents and demanded her hand in
marriage. The father treated the pre-
posierous proposition with good-natured
scOrn. Come back when YOU have
an income of 200, 900 francs, $40, 000),"
was his answer. land then we will see
aboutit - The infatuated youth took him
at his word, and forthwith set to work
Now, one of the peculiarities of the
town Of Clermont- Ferrand is scarcity
of water. There is no river near it, so
IL relies for its water supply on springs
and wells. Under these circumstances,
a spring is valuable piece of property,
and commands a relative high price.
So the young peasant lover set off for
an adjacent mountain. there to search
for hidden springs. My informant said
that he had hOneycombed the whole
side of the mountain with his works
constructing at one point a tunnel over
two miles in length. All this was exc
cuted with his own hands. He works
from dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes
of his own planting, and never spends
SO much as a sou upon mug Of beer.
Every Sunday he goes TO mass in the
town, after which he proceeds TO the
house of his lady-lOVe, TO ask if she is
married, or likely To be. On receiving
a response in the negative he plOds con-
tentedly homeward and starts out
fresh 10 his toll on the morrow. This
life has continued now for full ten
yeans. Up to the present time he has
discovered three important springs,
each of which he has sold for $4,000,
but-though now possessed of what for a
man in his condition of life is wealth,
he abates none OF the hardships OF his
eXistence, lie has one fixed idea,
namely, to become the possesSor of a
fortune sufficientfo enable him to claim
the hand Of the object of his blind pas
sion. Yet no one who knows the part
les even imagines that the young lady
will ever consent to marry him. She
is now twenty-siX years of age, and is
pretty; refined and accomplished,
while he is coarse, unlettered peas
ant, without even physical comliness,
as he is short. thick-Set, with a broad,
81 hot no hn
end of his dream, l wonder? My in
formant told me that the story was true
in every particular; he had himself Wis
tied the works. and entered the curl
Gus tunnel, and been presented to this
new Jacob, willing to serve even more
than seven years for his Rachel. -Mrs.

 If one may judge from the exceptional case of Elisha, badness seems to have been con- sidered disgrace among the Jews in remote ages still disgrace with which it was not permitted to reproach an honorable man. The punishment inflicted by divine interpo- sition, and at the express solicitation of the prophet, upon forty unfortunate children, seems to persons in the present day-even, it may be added, to those who have lost their hair-rather severe Lovers of analogies, CO., incidences and contrasts may be invited to remark that the grease of wild beasts em- ployed as instruments of vengeance against the little ones who taunted the good old prophet with his badness was in later centu- ries to be employed as 8 capillary restorative. The strength of Sampson and the beauty of Absalom lay in their hair, and there is sig nifcance, no doubt in the fact that through their hair both of them came to grief. Among the Greeks the two most famous bald men were Eschylus and Ulysses. The badness of Eschylus is known to have been the cause of his death, an eagle carrying a tortoise in it's claws, having dropped it's prey with the view of breaking the shell upon what 1t took to be 8 rock, but which was in fact the shin ing skull of a great tragic poet. The bald ness of Ulysses is commemorated in the Odyssey and the fearful vengeance taken upon the suitors of Penelope seems to have been in a great measure duo to the pleasant ries in which one of them indulged concern ing the glittering aspect presented by her husbands cranium. Badness, however, was no more admired in those days than in our own and when Ulysses was restored to youth stress is laid upon the fact that locks of the most luxuriant kind were given back to him. MT. Julius Caesar was notorious for his badness, and the jokes made on this sub ject by his soldiers on the occasion of one of his triumphal entries into Rome are only too well known. Nor need the story be here re- peated of the pleasure he took in wearing 8 wreath which covered his denuded temples, which, according to one Roman historian, was his chief reason for valuing it. It may be remarked, however, that the ifelike bust of Julius Caesar in the British museum is not that of a man who in the present day would be considered bald. The hair is not thick, and is brushed forward in a style which indi- cates desire to make up for certain want of hair in the region of the forehead and the temple. Something, however, must be al- lowed for the complimentary disposition of the sculptor reproducing the head of an all powerful commander and ruler who was known not to be without personal vanity

An Admirable System.

During the present hot weather the earliest philanthropist ought to make 1t a point to visit the numberless shops in this city where the shop-girls are forbidden to sit down. He could not fail to be cheered by the condition of these girls. The weariness and exhaustion betrayed by their faces and in their move ments will not only satisfy his sense of jus but convince him of the beneficial effects of of ahe system by which the girls are governed.
 Shop-girls are forbidden to sit down for two reasons. One is that they may be pun ished for the crime of being girls, and the other is that their minds and bodies may be properly disciplined It is bad enough to be a girl in any circumstances, but the shop girls add to this the aggravation of being poor and, to large extent, iriendless We may in our weak moments feel pity for them, but love of justice is a nobler sentiment than pity. Hence, we should rejoice to think that they are undergoing punishment What business have they to be girls and poor girls at that There are far too many girls in the world already who are taking the bread out of the mouths of men. Of late years the noble young men who formerly sold tape and thread and underclothing have been gradually driven out by these impudent shop-glrIs, and have been compelled to engage in other occu- pations that are much more laborious. It would be unjust that these girls should escape unpunished for this offense In the defect i've state of our laws, the criminal courts can not convict girl of the crime of having aid ed in supplanting the once great army of counter jumpers, nor can they punish her for being girl. The shop-keepers, however with their delicate sense of justice, have ta- ken the matter into their own hands, and by compelling the girls to stand on their weary feet for eight or ten hours, or even twelve, daily, have brought them to bewail the fact that they were born girls.
 As means of training mind and body, the system of forbidding shop girls to sit down is worthy of the highest praise Thousands of girls become frivolous and foolish through sharing in evening amusements. The shop girl who stands up all day is saved from this great temptation. When she goes home at night she is completely exhausted, and the al- lurements of Coney Island or the theatre can not drag her from her room. Then the girls natural tendency to speak impertinently to the shop keeper or his customers is thwart- ed by keeping her constantly on her feet She is too tired and in too much pain to re- sent any rudeness, and she prefers to submit to almost anything rather than to rouse her self to repel insulting words. Thus we see that, as means of mortifying the flesh, the

 This has been quite notable week for the old town. Monday the President favored the town. Wednesday night the bell-ringers gave performance that was characterized by good music, so that in the event of their coming again they will be insured an audi ence. On the same evening Rudolphus Bar tholomew returned from his work to find his house taken possession of by his children and their families, who reminded him that it was his birthday by presenting him with afne stuffed chair. Speech-naking was waived and all hands sat down to bountiful repast. After an evening spent in music and storytelling the party broke up at late hour, all wishing the old gentleman many returns of this hap py occasion. The rain of last night makes the farmers hopeful for their potato crop, so that in spite of the drought and bugs there will not be a potato famine. Hay bids fair to be very high on account of the light crops this year, most of the farmers being nearly through their having, a thing the 'Foldest inhabitant'' de- clares to be unprecedented.
