The Hackmen's Trick.
Cincinnati Enquirer

"How do you manage to keep up the re-
pairs on your hack when business is so dulll"
was asked OF a hackman who was met in
front of a carriage-shop the other day,
where he was having new spring put in his
vehicle
"Oh that's easy enough; we don't have to
foot any Of the bills;" aughingly re-
sponded the Jehu. an tell you, but you
mustn't give it away. You see, il We meet
with an accident any time during the night
we pick our way along until we come to a
new building in process Of erection
Generally In cases of this kind the con-
tractor has the street strewn with material
and a red light out. Well, we send some one
ahead to blow out the light, and then we
drive right in the midst OF the stuff, what
ever it may lie. We begin to curse and
swear until an officer or some passer-by is
attracted, and then we explain that we have
damaged our vehicle, and ask for their
names and address as witnesses. The scheme
works like charm, and when we present
our bill to the contractor, we never fail to
get our money. Why, the contractor who
built the Union depot was a mark for the
hackman, and know at least five broken
hacks he has paid to have repaired that
were broken squares away from the depot"

Proprietor OF the New York World.
JOSEPH PULITZER

The remarkable success of The New York
World under the management Of Mr..
Pulitzer is unprecedented IN journalism. and
Ii largely due to the introduction Of pictures
to break up the dull monotony of types.
Mr.. Pulitzer long ago discovered that an
illustration, no matter how crude, helped
out dry biography, and lent attractiveness

times men have not time to waste in much
reading, and small illustration will often
tell at glance more than columns Of type.
With these facts In view. Mr.. Pulitzer has

A Fable from the Sanscrit.
Boston Globe.l


A poet, a scientist, and an artist all passed
the bazaar of a wretched son Of Japhet who
had not cleaned the snow from his sidewalk.
The poet sat down. Then he gracefully
arose and murmured: "Oh, the poetry Of
motion how grand, how touchingl"
Then the scientist sat down. He, too,
arose and rapturously exclaimed: "Oh, the
wonders of sciencel More heavenly bodies
have seen than e'er astronomer before dis

As he gathered up the remnants he placidly
observed: "Oh, the incomprehensibility OF
fatality, how glorious are thy mandates, to

An Insuperabie Objecti on.

Among many other excellent suggestions
on this subject, a lady contributor to Cham

ten record being kept by the sick-room at
tendant A watchful nurse will be quick TO
notice any change in her patient; but 1t Is
quite one thing to notice and another to
give a faithful report Of what has been OBJ
served; and every experienced nurse, at
least should be very particular in jotting
down at once all that strikes her attention.
The simplest way of doing this is to keep
sort Of diary Of all that happens. Take
piece of writing paper, keep one side for day
and one for night, write the date at the top,
crease it down the middle, and note on one
half all the patien: takes and does, and on
the other anything you think demands
notice. The following is specimen of the
sort of chart suggested:

At the bottom of the first page, 1t will be

marked. would very likely be forgotten; and
whenever the nurse is in any difficulty or un-
