A Hard Set of Men.

A correspondent, writing from Pata-
gonia, says of the natives Of that coun-
try: ut is strange how these creatures
manage to exist in this severely inclem-
ent climate, where it freezes nearly all
the year round. They use no more
clothing than that afforded them by
nature, and their huts are nothing but
few sticks tied together, with a few
skins and leaves thrown over the top
of them, and their canoes are always
half full of water. The weapons used
are bows, arrows and spears. They eat
the flesh of animals killed in the chase,
and sometimes they catch fish; but their
principal article Of food Is mussels, Of
which there are millions there. They
have nothing in the shape Of corn,
wheat or cereals of any kind, as none
grow any nearer than !, 200 miles away.
They will not touch liquor of any kind.
They are in appearance something like
the Indians one meets in the altos in
Guatemala, but are smaller and
shorter race, and very much more de-
generated. should imagine them to
be the very lowest specimens Of hu.
mainly existing, and only one link
short In the chain to connect them with
the monkey tribe"

He Wasn't a Shoemaker.

An amusing scene occurred in a
Spadina avenue car the other day. One
of its occupants was very lah-de-dah
fellow indeed, a bowling swell, and
evidently only recently arrived from
the old country. The car stopped, and
a barrister with his blue bag over his
shoulder got in. Our ''howler" scruti-
nized him for some moments through
his eye-glass, and finally addressed
him thus, the rest of the people in the
car tittering and smiling very audibly
the while. "Haw! l say--ah-you-I
say. l-aw-want a paiah of boots
made-aw."
The legal gentleman regarded the
other with look on his face that said
as plainly as looks can speak. This

aloud.

in England shoemakers call on their
customers to try ordered boots on; said

Our Best Young Men.

"Wha's alrs talk bout thai Texas

one of our best young men, as he stood
with his friends inhaling the madden
ing fumes of the destroying cigarette.
A long silence followed, which was
ut length broken by the best young
man who makes living by sucking the
head of cane. After pondering the
question fully for long time, he said:
"What Lasker y talkin' 'bout?'
The first best young man was evil
dently annoyed by the question. He
looked sadly at his toothpick shoes,
hoping for some inspiration from them,
but none came. He sighed heavily,
cast an appealing glance toward the
woll-informed best young man, who re-
manned silent. however, and the first
speaker replied;
"Same Lasker-fellah that got into
trouble with Texas fellah--Doubiltree

The eyes of all the best young men
now turned toward the well-iniormed
best young man. He was always looked
up to in political discussions, because
he once drew salary in tho custom
house for doing something or other-he
had forgotten what it was that he did

scaly coils, leap headlong from the rock
--- knew that she was terribly revenged,
and calmly sought old Pedro and told
him that his master wanted him. All!
how the old man shuddered when he
found the disdgured corpse. and read
at glance the true history of the mat

no matter what anothers might be. He
made q coffin OF bark. and was prepar-

distance, laughing and making gcs-

and he determined upon revenge.
"God forgive me-" he muttered be-
tween his teeth " 1t may be wrong to
take a human life, but"
The ringing of his rifle cut the SEN
tence short. and Mt the same time an
arrow from the unerring bow of "Ber-
nv Hunter" who saw Pcdro's intention,
pierced the old mans heart, while SIM
ultaneously bullet from Pedro's rite
crashed through the brain of the un-
fortunate Indian girl. Thus closed a
tragedy, short but terrible in its ending.

A sopocIous RAILROAD Scheme.

A special from Toledo explains the
unique and expensive method adopted
by general passenger and ticket agent
Sanderson, of the Toledo, Cincinnati q
ST. Louis Railroad, to prevent conduc-
tors from pocketing fares. He issued
an order to the effect that conductor
should issue to each passenger paying
his fare on the train check good for
five cents and rcdeemable at any station
along the line. The checks are for
warded to the auditing department and
checked off on the report of the con-
ductor giving the check. A gentleman
who left Toledo the other day over the
line for Enterprise and return, paid his
fare from station to station, receiving a
five-cent check each time. He found
when he had reached Delphos that he
had checks amounting to $l.45, and at
Enterprise the sum had amounted to
$l.90. He worked the same profitable
scheme on the return trip, and found
on reaching Toledo that, while his
round trip had cost him but 80 cents
more than the regular fare, his checks
amounted to $3.50.

A Choir AnecdOte.

In the Century,, Rev DIR. Charles S.
Robinson continues his discussion OF the
annoyances.and humors of the musical
service in churches, and relates this an
ecdote: "Glorious Easter was at hand
and great preparations were made in the
rural parish for its celebration; boughs
were twined in the arches OF the build
ing; flowers swung in wreaths overhead
and shone in beautiful baskets among
the aisles; children had been rehearsing
carols. All the town came in on that
notable morning. 1t was a scene never
to be forgotten. The minister was ra-
dant; his eyes beamed with delight.
But thought struck him: this audi
ence. so happy, so generous, so enthus-
iastic--would they not hear him mo-
ment for stroke of business? After
the invocation and the first song, he
surprised them with q proposition to
bring Easter offerings now at once to
Gods altar, and lift the dear old church
out of debt; oh, then there would be a
resurrection! The congregation would
come up from underits great stone into
a new life if they would roll it away!
Then the plates went their course, and
hearts were touched, and purses were
emptied, and the heaps of money lay
before the moistened eyes of the relieved
pastor as he tremulously thanked a
good God for his peoples fidelity in re-
sponse. 'The money is here, am sure
it is, he exclaimed If there be a little in
arrears it can be made up in day, and
now we are ready heartily to go on with
the worship of our risen Lord. So the
fixed programme proceeded. A little
German had been procured from the
metropolis for an annex to the tenor
his solo came in at this exact crisis OF
grateful emotion; he rendered it with a
fresh aplomb, though the consonants
were awkward; AN de det sail be
raised-de det sail be raised-an' de de-
an de det-sall be raised-sall be
raised in de twnkling of an ay-ee
"Now il is quite safe to say that aftei
the congregation went home, the theme
of the day was dissipated, and the two
events uppermost in everybody's mint
were the surprise which the eager min
lister had sprung upon the people, ant
the ridiculous appropriateness OF the de
clamatory solo which followed 1t. Ol
general principles. we have no ob,ec
on to the collection of money TO dis
charge religious obligation, even in di
vine service; but it does seem n pit
that humorous episode should be tn
chief "reminiscences of such solemn oc
casion."

Stock Sirens.

The foot passengers along Montgom-
ery Street cannot have failed to notice,
in the entrance way of the Pacific
Board, a group of eager faced, frowsy
looking women. There is no preten-
sion to style about them, but there is q
hungry look on their faces, and a dull
glare about their eyes that reminds one
OF the vulture more than the eagle.
These are, to give them brevet rank,
our lady stock brokers. These are the
harpies that insinuate themselves into
the homes of well-to-do tradesmen and
persuade wives to let them invest their
pin money in stocks. The pin money
gone, part of the money given the wife
for household expenses goes next, and
when the poor husband complains of
the poor quality of the meat, ETC., the
wife has to lie in order to cover up her
gambling. Many husband has had
cause to curse the day that one of these
stock sirens insinuated herself into
his house. These are the women that
drain the pockets of the hard-worked
Biddy, by drawing glittering pictures
of easily attained wealth, and inducing
her to let them invest for her. The
female broker discounts the worst of the
curbstone breed of swinders, for she
carries the war right into the domestic
circle, and awakes in many an honest
woman's breast that spirit of gambling
which had hitherto lain dormant.
Women are, most of them, gamblers al
heart, and it only needs a stimulant to
draw forth the demon. The harm that
it does them financially, morally and
physically is incalculable. and Sheridan
hits the nail right on the head when he
SAYS:
| "A night of fretful passion may consume
| All that thou hast of beauty's gentle bloom
| And one distemper'd hour of sordid fear
Print on thy brow the wrinkles of year.
