The 0bedIent Clerk.


One of the most wealthy ladies In
Austin entered Nose Schaumburg's
store, on Austin avenue, and pointing
jewelsd finger, said: sss
"Send u bushel of them pertaters
and some of them molasses to my
house." s. -,...s-
"Would not some of those potatoes
do Just as well as 'them potatoes"
asked the clerk, with superior smile.
The ladv fiounced out of the store,
gritting her teeth. When Nose
Schaumburg heard that he had lost one
of his best customers, he was very
much annoyed, and told the clerk that
his business was to "sell 'em goots,
and not to correct mistakes, that it was
none of his business how poorly educa-
ted customers were. s.
"An right" said the clerk, ''Pn net

Things went onvery smoothly. Nose
noticed that customers hocked to the
new clerk. They did not want any
body else to wait on them. At the
same time Nose could not help noticing
that the new clerk did not take in as
much cash as he should have done.
One morning he seated himself near
the new clerk and pretended to be
reading. A cclored woman came in
and bought ten pounds OF sugar. AS
she paid for it. she put down half q dol

Counterfeit Silver Dollars.

!, A new counterfeit silver dollar is in cir
culation, which is pronounced by the sub
treasurer to be the best silver coin ever
seen. 1t is beautifully made, and has
slight appearance of iron. which is often
found in genuine standard dollar. 1t is
silver plated and acid does not hurt it un-
less the surface is scratched up. The
weight is the marvellous point in the de-
ception. The counterfeit, as it stands,
would pass in size easily, and in weight
would not be detected on any but fine
scale. The date upon it is 1878.

A HindOO Throat Flute.

Some singular scientific wonders turn
out to have been known q great while.
Here is something almost as queer as
Professor Thomas Edison's photograph:
The Hindoos have q number of mu-
steal instruments, some of which claim
q high antiquity; but there is one which
is extremely curious, not 80 much from
its form or structure as from the fact
that it is played neither with the mouth
nor an air-bag nor with strings nor by
striking. 1t consists of two small silver
trumpets, with q very delicate appa-
ratus within. There are no holes as in
q flute. When the Prince of Wales was
in India, the Baboo Rally Prosonno
Bannerjee played on these instruments
before him and excited the greatest in
terest, completely puzzling all to con-
ceive how he really produced the
sounds, for he did not place the mouth
of the trumpet to his lips but to his neck.
Some thought him ventriloquist, and
that the trumpets were merely used to
create . false impression. It proved.
however, that the variations of sound
were produced by the variation in the
quantity of air propelled through by
the pulsations of the neck, being great
er or less according to the pressure Of
the mouthpiece. Nothing could be
more curious than to see the performer
and to hear the soft musical sounds
that issued from the silver trumpets.-

Bachelor Life in New York.

New York is the paradise of bachs
lors in thsee enlightened days. Up to q
few years ago they had to make out
with hotels and boarding houses, or
accommodate to the furnished room
plan. Now they can do better. Homes
for bachelors are among the I" institu-
tions'' of to-day. The unmarried man
need no longer wander disconsolate
about hotel. or poke himself away in
a musty room in a boarding or lodging
house. If his purse affords it he can
set up bachelors quarters in good style
in house especially designed for his
class. Four or five handsome houses
of this kind have been built within o
few years. and they seem to pay very
well. They are called apartment houses
for bachelors, and they are arranged
much like French flats, the chief differ
ence being that the number of rooms is
less. In some cases the bachelors
apartment consists of two rooms, in 9TH
ers of three, and in no case of more than
four. The cost of living in this way is
considerable, but the life itself is com.
Portable, pleasant and free from care.
The demand for such houses is conse-
quently large.
