A piano tuner called at house on
Euclid avenue and quietly placed his
hat on the hall stand before proceeding
to his work.
The housemaid being busy with her
weekly sweeping had previously re-
moved all small articles from the hall,
and her mistress passing through OBJ
served the solitary article-an object so
dear to every masculine heart. Think
ing it the garden hat of her husband,
she placed it in an adjoining closet.
Presently the man, having finished tun-
ing the piano, started to leave, but, be-
ing unable to find his hat, meekly asked
the maid to assist him in looking for it.
They searched both the hall and parlor,
but all in vain, until the lady, whose at
tention had been drawn by the commo-
ton, also joined in the search.
At last she said she could lend him q
hat, and proceeding to the closet pro-
duced the one she had placed there
short time before, apologizing for its
shabby appearance by saying it was
very old one, used by her husband when
working mornings in the garden. The
tuner took the hat and after carefully
examining it said it looked very much
like his hat, and that he was quite sure
it was the one he had placed in the hall
upon his arrival. 1t suddenly dawned
on the lady's mind how the mistake was
made, but she still wonders hcw two
hats could 50 exactly resemble each 9th
er.-C Cleveland Herald.

Literature and Manual Arts.

The mercantile and professional class
es are fundamentally necessary to the
best interests Of the organism What
society is personally interested in, is not
the development of any class, but rath
er the getting of the good citizen con-
tributing his best thought to the good
OF all, irrespective of any class in which
he may have been born, or in which he
may labor; and the good citizen can
come as well from the labor employ
ments as any other. The good citizens
secured by attaching the individual to
the knowledge, to the thought, of the
race. But knowledge is not confined to
literature, science or philosophy. Lam
guage is an important, but not the only,
key to knowledge. The thought of the
race that has been expressed through
the skilled hand in labor in the arts is
not inferior to what has been expressed
by language. The manual arts no less
than literature embody the culture OF
tho race. Public education should know
no classes. It should aim to so dispense
the fundamental elements of knowledge
as to open the doors to the social acqui-
sitions of the race, whether in literature
or the arts, to all, irrespective of per-
sons. This, public education does not
do now. 1t exalts the language en-
Payments. 1t degrades the labor en-
Payments by ignoring them. The
practical conclusion to be drawn from
our present education is, that the person
capable of living by his wits, by the use
of language, is a better and more hon
orable citizen than one who contributes
to the permanent welfare of the COM
munity by the skillful work of his
hands. It is my belief that the way to
benefit our working classes is to try and
mako them better, more productive
workmen; to aid them in increasing the
wage-earning power of their labor by
putting more thought into it; and to this
end I would have our schools honor
thought expressed by the skilled hand,
as well as thought expressed by Ian
guage.-J. s. c.. IN Boston Transcript.

AG1RL OF SPIRIT.
a French Woman-Insulter Ohastised by an
American Heroine.

I recently heard of an action on the
part OF a young American girl toward a
French woman-insulter which has filled
my soul with admiration and delight,
writes Lucy Hooper from Paris. The
young lady in question, who is a refined,
modest, and high-bred young girl, is
staying with some members Of her fam
ny at one OF the prominent hotels on
the Avenue de lOpera. As her dress
and manners are alike unobtrusive, she
has never hesitated to 60 out alone when
ever business or inclination impelled
her to do So One would fancy that on
that wide, brilliant avenue, in broad
daylight, quiet, modest young lady,
IN this city deemed the center of the
worlds civilization, would be perfectly
safe from annoyance or molestation of
any kind; such, however, was not the
case. For a few weeks past, whenever
she ventured out alone, she was fol-
lowed and accosted by stylishly-dress-
ed individual, about 40 years old. wear
ing the red ribbon of the Legion of Hon
or in his button-hole. This parsonage
would not only follow her, but would
address her in language of the fulsome,
complimentary style; would thrust his
head under her bonnet, would go few
steps in front of her, and would then
look back ard leer at her, and in fact
he conducted himself in the manner
that well-bred Partisan gentleman us
ually considers proper to assume when
he meets an unprotected young girl.
This went on some time to the infinite
annoyance of the young lady. Her tor
mentor never made his appearance when
her brother was with her, or when there
was a policeman within hai.ing dis
lance on these occasions he kept
discreetly out of the way. Finally, the
other day, the affair came to a climax.
The young lady was returning to her
hotel about 8 o'clock in the afternoon,
when her prosecutor made his appear
ance, and began tormenting her, as US
ual. The hunted girl, worried, wear
led and exasperated, was at last wrought
up to the highest pitch of indignation
and nervous excitement. CHANGING to
pass cab stand, by sudden impulse
she snatched one of the drivers whips
from its socket, and, turning on her tor
mentor, she cut him sharply across the
face with the lash. Being taken by sur
prise, he started back, and let fall his
hat. AS he stopped to pick it up, she
followed up her advantage, raining blow
after blow on his head and shoulders, so
stunning and bewildering him that he
was some time in discovering his head
gear, every moment of which she en-
ployed to the best advantage. At last,
catching his rescued hat, he fled from
the scene as fast as his legs could carry
him, followed by the laughter and jeers
of the whole line of cabmen, who heart
lily sympathized with the brave young
heroine of the scene. And so one of the
woman-insulters of Paris has at last met
with his deserts, and that at the hands
of an American girl! I feel inclined to
cry, with the jolly old cabman, when he
received back his useful whip, "Bravo,
Mademoiselle! That was we'll done!''

This Years Peach Crop q Fine One,

George M. Stetson, the Oldest peach
packer in the United States, says that
the peach crop this year will be. large
and of good quality. Peach trees grew
to less extent than usual last year, and
the sap did not rise to develop the buds
till the cold of winter. These are the
most favorable conditions for good
crop. There will not be quite so much
fruit as last year, but it will be larger
and finer and will bring the farmers
moro money than they got for the large
crop of small, puny peaches produced
last season. Another favorable thing is
the uniformly cold weather of the pres
ent winter, which has kept the sap down
and prevented the buds from swelling.
They are now entirely out of danger,
and can stand any amount Of cold that
we can possibly have.-NeD York San.

Does Good Work Paw.

Properly considered, this question adj
mlts OF but one answer, and yet there
are advocates of ''cheap' work and ex-
cusers of sighted jobs among our man.
ufacturers; men who claim that close
competition and close bargaining are
circumstances which permit, if they do
not exact, passable rather than excel
lent work. A business run among the
shops and factories in the same line OF
productions, in the same or adjacent
localities, where each shop has equal or
similar facilities, shows that no two of
them will furnish the same estimates of
the same job. Indeed, in some instan-
ces, the difference in the term is quite
surprising when it is considered that
the materials and the methods and ia
cilities of working them are the same.
Under these circumstances the only pos
sibls meann OF lowering price is by
sighting work, sure 10 be detected soon
er or later, to the injury of the makers
reputation and the ultimate loss of the
cream of his business. This is particu-
larly true of the manufacture of tools
and machinery; in either case poor work
manship is certain to reveal itself. And
when tool gives out in the using, or
machine breaks down, the user and
owner does not console himself with the
consideration that he ''got itcheap'' but
he execrates the maker as heartily as
thoughhe paid the highest market price;
and he goes no more to the low-priced
manufacturer, neither does he recon-
mend his productions.
The manufacturer who .puts tie
work" into his tools and machinery is
building upfor himselfa cumulative ex-
tending reputation for excellence of
product that is far more valuable than
a reputation for low prices only. In
fact, the price of piece of work is not
absolutely high or low; it bears re-
lation to its cost of production. A high
priced article may be cheaper than q
low priced one, and should be if the
proper relation between price and value
is preserved. In fact, high prices do

What Thirteen Women Had to Say Over .
Fallen Hnrso

Thirteen women and one man occu-
pied seats in street-car coming down
town on Saturday. The old conductor
was just telling how half-a-dozen of tho
boys had retired with fortunes after an
experience of only two years on the line.
when the driver wound up his brake,
and brought the car up with jerk.
The old conductor showed up his sleeves,
forced his hat down hard on the back of
his head, cleared the back platform with
a bound, and ran up forward to see
what ives up. All the women inside
the car jumped to their feet, and then
the entertainment began.
''Why, it's poor horse" exclaimed
one woman, looking around at the 9TH
erS.
$50 it u.s. said another, land he's
fallen down a hole.'
''Poor thing! and the cart has run
over him, too
Eyes, and if he's fallen down q hole
they'll have hard time to get him up"
mo, he hasn't fallen down q hole.
He's fallen down, that's all.''
ooh, the poor horse. Iwonderif he's
hurt
81 do believe he's dead"
''No, he isn't dead Just see him
wag his tail.
"Why don't the men back the cart off
of him?''
"They can't; don't you see he's fallen
on the shaft?''
II never did see such lazy set of
men. Why don't they do something?
l just wish / was man."
why DON'T thoy cut tho harnessr
Did you ever?"
II don't believe single ono Of them
has got knife. Oh, just hear that con-
ductor swear?''
Then there was peace in the car for .
moment. The harness was unbuckled,
and the old conductor and half-a-doz-
en- men seized the cart and rolled it off
the track. The women watched all this
in silence, and the solitary man in the
corner went to sleep. Then they broke
out again:
''Well, they haze done it at last
ooh, just see that man kick that poor,
poor horse. Isn't it just too brutal for
anything?''
Il do believe he is dead. They can't
make him stir one bit"
''They will kick his ribs in, just as
sure"
''See that awtul man with the whip.
l just wish the poor horse would bite
him"
There, now he is getting up. Well.
did you eUer see such looking thing?
do believe he was too weak to stand.''
''Why, you can almost see through
him.
'They oughtn't to let such looking
horse as that out. He's enough to scare
people,"
"Well; if I'd known he was such q
shadow as that wouldn't have been
wasting my SYMPATHY
Just then the old conductor rang the
bell and the car started off down the
street with a rush. The man in the
corner woke up, and the women settled
back in their seats, and watched the
horse until he had been left behind out
of sight. Philadelphia Times.
