The Difference.
Detroit Chaf

While travelling, no, long ago, had a chance to compare the methods of an Eugiishman and an AmeHcAn-Ameri- can has come to mean United Slates- man, in default of mere distinctive tsrm-in performing the same duties. Il, was the railroad which runs northward from New Hampshire into Monireai,- the Grand Trunk, if am not mistaken. The two men wete custom officers The Canadian official, who was typical En- glisnman in appearance and pronuncia- ton. was on duty, as tho train was north- bound, but Uncle Sam's ageDt assisted him in ord to save time and profanity
 1 sat on a trunk in one corner of the baggage-room and watched the two. The Englishman was slow, heavy, oficioss bungling. fussy, exasperating. He saw what he didn't need to sec and couldn | see the things that he ought to have sec; |. When he went through trunk he left II a perfect chaos, and yet had not examined ii thoroughly. He was cross, and s,uo- born, and pig-headed. But the other man was a jewel. Bright, alert. cheer ful, polite; he was refreshing and amusing contrast to his Canadiap brother. He whisked open satchels, deltly lifsd out the contents without displacing an article, saw everything there was to see, and had everything back, and the satohsl closed and marked before the other official had found which way the catch was to be pushed. He answered iL- numerable questions, hunted up young iady's hand bag that had somehow been lost, chucksd a crying baby under the chin, and set it to laughing, and made himself generally useful. Nobody would have dared attempt to smuggle anything under those keen, searching eyes A Montreal man who sat in the same seat with me, and who, regret to say, was from the United States, confessed, in a sudden burs, of confidence, that he had in his trunk a couple of new suits of clothes which he had purchased Tn New York. He was in mortal terror lest ths lynx-syed American should lay hands on his trunk, and laid wires to get himself into the gaury net of the Canadian !" bloke," as he called him, confident tha, Canadian stupidity woald save his goods from conhscation and so 1t did.

In England. where the treadmiil is used ia prisons, many convicts Acquus thai peculiar step, but II Is the natural, care tul, eas-like tread ot the criminal The aih who walks with hat foot planted squarely on the ground. as though she wanted ts grow there. may not be as attractive as the girl with the arched ,n- step. but xhe is a good deal better natured. She Is sure to be a good nusse xiod-heAated. sympathetic. anxious to bear the burdens oi others; while the g,rl with the zrchcd loot Is nc 4riy sure b be selfish. and certain to oe coquette it she walks on her toes.
 The man of short, nervous steps Is always . business man of energy, but II the stride is from the knce only he h cold and sel6sh, caring fer no one bu, himself The man whose stride IS long and at the same time energesie is geneI- ally bright always cratic and iil-balanced. exxnA s.1 admiration, generally willing to sscTihos much praise and eelat, and while often a good fellow, generally unreliable The diplomat and the fancier have smooth. gliding walk, hard to describe but easy 10 recognize.

All Thieves Together.

Man About Town, in New York Star.i
 A Wall street friend of mine. who has just returned from the vet, told me 8 rather good story yesterday. Said he : went out to the Yellowstope with a party, and we had a curious adventure. There were in the crowd two brokers, a bank cashier, a railroad man and couple of Englishmen. In lonely spot VIC were suddenly held up by four mounted road agents, who, with carbinss leveled at our heads, shouted to us to put up our han.k' Our party was pretty badly shaken up, 1 tell you. We were ordered to step out while one of their men ran- sacked the coach. Look here, men, said one of the Enelishmsn, you don { want anything of us. We arc travelling with just money enough to pay our ex- psnses. This gentleman hsre is the cashier of the bank but he dossn't carry the bank funds with him, you know
 "The fellows looked al him a moment then one of them asked of our com panion: Are you really bank Cashier 7 Yes said he, rather faintiy. Then, said the leader of the gang, then. boys, we're oE this hunt. Them gentlemen kin go. We recognize professional when we see him, and ~s take od our hats to bank cashier because he's the boss in our line of buNness. You can have your wallets, gentlemen, and we hope you'll nave safe j11Tnsy.
 @And by -, sir, would you believe 1t, the rascals actually handed back our things intact, lifted ihsir hats to the cashier and dashed od like the mischief We were rather scaIey about travelling in his company after thai. but the poor fe.- .o= asssre1 .s cn h.> eoul he had never robbed bank in bis fife. and he attriE- uted t all to the fact that few rascaIiy cashiers had made the harking business dissep~sabae for a person Of refined in- stinctxss

or two he was comfortably on tho sofa in
drunken sleep His face was reddish
purple and altogether he was pitiable
looking object.
The doctor was sent for in haste, and
mustard applied to tho patients feet and
hands. When tho doctor came and felt
his pulse and examined him, and found
he was only drunk, he said:
"IIe will be all right in the morning"
But the wifo insisted that he was worry
sick. aud that severe remedies must be
used.
"You must shave his head aud apply
blsters," sho urged, "or / will send for
some one who will"
The husbands head WAS accordingly
shaved close, and blisters were applied.
Tho patient lay all night in drunken
sleep, and Notwithstanding tho blisters

near morning that he began TO beat about,
disturbed by the pain.
About daylight he woke up in tho most
uncomfortable consciousness OF blistered
