NEW CLERK.-An old merchant who
has been in business here since Adam was
a little boy, called new clerk to his desk
one morning this week to have talk with
him. The clerk is very smart and the pro-
prietor said to him:
Young man, you are too smart. You
have got so you smell of gin You wear
neckties that would scare horse, and you
seem to be a year ahead of the STYLES. Sir.
the pants this year seemed to me to be
tight enough, but those new pants you
have got are so tight that don't see how
you get all OF yourself into them without
using shoe horn OF stretching them with
a glove Stretcher. You wear number six
hat, with a washer inside of it, and num-
Der twelve shoes, and your coat tails are
so short | should think you would take
your death of cold. And look at that dia-
mond pin, or is it alum? You have your
finger nails dressed by a professional corn
doctor, and your hair is parted in the mid
die and plastered down with bandoline
You get nine dollars a week, and pay six
dollars for board, seven dollars for whisky.
and five dollars for cigars. Now where do
you get your clothes? You think / am
blamed fool to live here forty years and not
get on to the racket of a soft headed kid
like you. Now, you go and sweep out the
store and come in here about the time you
usually go out for drink, and l will have
a little time to give you some advice that
will do you good The young fellow went
out and did not come back, and some think

was in finding men of deeds rather than

his influence over superiors in age and ex-

greatness of man is not measured by the
length OF his speeches and their number.

Come, wife, dear woman, and sit by me,
For the toilsome day is adone,
And many thoughts in my heart are born
With the setting of the sun.
Ay, give me your hand my patient love,
That my own may clasp it tight;
Not dearer it was i'll the years agone,
Dear wife, than is it tonight.
Old and wrinlled it may be dear,
But look you, wife, at the shine
OF the ring that has chung to your finger there
Since the day that made you mine.
Twas long, long march from our youth to age
But Time, be he ne'er so gray,
Can never tarnish the luster, dear,
OF the pledge of our wedding day.
Fen SO the truth of a faithful love,
Born far in the auld lang syne,
In our steadfast hopes, through veal and woe,
Never has ceased to shine.
There are tears in your eyes, my wife, tonight;
You are thinking dear, know,
How strange it is that as shadows fall,
We only are left below.
We only to sit at the old hearthstone,
In the twilight, dear, of life,
While our children wait at the gates above
When shall we meet them, wife?
Nay, dry those tears, and be glad with me
That the day is almost done,
And father, mother and children all
May meet-with the set of sun.

pigmy sentinels on a batUlement of rose

George had been telling her that beautiful
story OF the princess Of olden times, who
when her lover was stricken down by a
poisoned arrow, knelt by his side, and with
her own ruby lips, drew from the wound
the fatal element. When he had finished
the girl gave utterance to the words with
which this opens. And then, for an in

The influence of the electric light on
health was lately discussed at meeting of
the Hygienic Society of Hamburg, and
DR.. Kruss gave his views on the subject at
some length. He referred to theinhuence
of the electric light on the human eye

produces no evil effects, the light having a
violent tinge under most circumstances.
The electric light being free from the dis
advantages incidental to the combustion of
gas, in the consumption of oxygen and the
production of carbonic acid, he considered
its developments as being ahygienic meas

dog, and after the train had moved out a
passenger walked back to the stove and
asked OF three OF four young men sitting
around there:

II can, though I'm out of practice, - re-

meet her in Detroit -
The young man walked up to her, tapped
her on the shoulder to attract her attention
and began series of gyrations with his
fingers, which attracted the attention of
every passenger in the car. The Woman's
eyes opened and her jaw fell with astonish-
ment, but after minute OF two she colored
up as red as a beet and called out
Yes, I've got my dog under the seat,

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A.-Upon the
recommendation ofthe Surgeon Cen
eral of the Marine Hospital. the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury requested the
State Department to instruct the U.
s. Consul General in Egypt to direct
subordinates to examine the old rags
gathered for export to this country.
He proposed they be boiled under
pressure or thoroughly fumigated
with sulphuric acid gas before ship
ment, the Consul or his deputy to GER
tify to such d%isinfection. The import
ance Of the matter is shown in the fact
that there are now belonging to one
firm in New York over six thousand
tons of rags at Alexandria waiting
shipment to the United States, either
direct or bv trans-shipment via Liver
pool.

Pork Wanted In Germany.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14-The State
Department received from Walfgang,
Schoenle us Consul at..Bremen, Ger.
many, a report containing a syncp-
sis of the letter recently sent to Bis.
marck by the chamber of commerce
OF Bremen protesting against the
prohibition IF the importation OF
American pork. The protest sets
forth, first, American pork on ac-
count of its wholesOmeness, and
cheapness enters largely int ) the diet
OF the working elias ses and has he
come an indispensi lie article of food.
IN spite of its large, steady growing
q assumption not u single Case of
trichinOsis has been brought to the
notice OF authorities. Second, the
prohibition of the importation of
American hog products is very
likely to suggest to the government of
the United States the policy If re.
prlsal. If that Government should
imposy prohib,tory duty on German
stockings and knit goods it would
inf1ict upon German manufActure. a
loss OF nearly S., 0D0, 900 per annum
and reduce whole communi les to
restitution. In view Of these con.
~sideratiOns the chamber submits the
following petition:
IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR: We
must respectfully petition your Sc
rene Highness to intercede aud IN
terest yourself that the importation
OF American pork products be set
free again."
Consul Schoenle says that protests
and petitions similar to this have
been sent to Bismarck by q number
Of other chambers of commerce in
various parts of the empire.
