Boston Girls and Spectacles.

Boston Girls begin early to reflect
the unmistakable Boston looks. No
matter how giddy they may begin, they
end by wearing a determined. indie
pendent. very recently groomed ex-
preston, as though their brains and
skins had just been sand-papered. The
really pretty ones are under sixteen,
and wear their glossy hair in braids
down their back, and sensible little
suits with everything taut about them.
Their compilations are fresh and rosy,
their eyes bright. and they have the
air of perfect health. After eighteen.
l regret to say, they are not so comely,
unless Heaven has intended they
should eclipse their sister mortals and
be known as '.belles." Either the Bos-
ton girl is a victim of inherited my
opia or she early acquires weakness
of vision by too close application to
books. for their reputation of being ad-
dicted to eye glasses is too true. Half

A Pension Once Eo.naAce.
ICarp, in Cleveland Leader.]

q strange story comes to me from the
Pension Office, which / relate without
giving the names. Not long ago one of
the leading clerks of the department
died, and his sweetheart came to the
house in which he lay and made 3 great
ado over mis- death, saying she was en-
gagged to him. She was pretty, an heiress,
and interesting. She had hardly reached
the house before sweetheart Number Two
arrived, from q neighborins State. Num-
Der Two said she was also engaged to the
deceased, and she was also very pretty and
very interesting. Investigation showed
that the clerk had really engaged him.
self to these two girls, and that he had
made preparations to marry Number Two
q few months after the time at which his
death took place. He had borrowed money
Of the heiress, Number One, and as she
was preparing her clothes for her coming
marriage, she had SO much faith in her
to-be husband that she took no notes or
memoranda of the debts. The papers left
by the deceased show that he has willed
all his property to Number Two, and so
sweetheart Number One loses both her
husband and the money she lent him.

A Brute's Logic.

"Mr. Dusenberry, I'm shocked to
see that you will persist in fishing. 1t
is horrible to hurt the little things in
that way. l declare I'll not let you
bring any of them into the house."
well, my dear, l guess you are
about right. 1t is excessively cruel.
Of course the remark does not apply
to that pretty tile South American
bird in your hat. Possibly it was
chloroformed. While it may be wrong
to supply the demands of appetite it
is perfectly right to respond to the
mir. Dusenberry, you're a brute

wealthy Men and Their Position In Public
Esteem.
There are only three kinds of
wealthy men," said aleading merchant
yesterday. land I'd like to know which
of the three classes you think the most
honorable" addressing reporter.
"How do you class themP"
There's the man made rich by
hereditary bestowals. the man who be-
comes rich through speculation and
the man who gets there in legitimate
business manner"
''How about the miser?"
"A miser is never rich and never a
man."
whats the Legitimate business
manner to which you refer?'
1.-The man who begins business on a
small scale and hangs to it thirty OF
forty years. never making any money
except on the legitimate profits
made in buying and selling
goods. cutting down expenses
and looking sharply after collec-
tons. Such a method is legiti-
mate. but it requires years of patience,
self-denial and hard work. There are
very few rich men of this kind"
''And the speculatOr?"
II do not mean the open, self-con-
fessed gambler, but the Spectator who
risks his all on a real estate deal, i'm.
proves it to the extent of getting it into
a shape where it will pay interest and
taxes, and then waiting for a'natural
increase in value. Then there's the
chap who risks his all on small pur.
chases of real estate and keeps turning
his money over and over. Finally
there's the man who alights squarely
on the back of some invention which
brings great wealth. F"

PERCHERON STATIONS.
Why Farmers buy Them.

During these hard times, when near
ly every farm product is SO low in price
that it hardly seems worth raising, we
see many of our most intelligent and
progressive farmers, who have not
hitherto been interested in horse breed
ing, buying finely bred high priced
Percheron stations. This to many is q
source of establishment, but is the re-
suit of observation that large, we'll
formed active horses always have been,
and necessarily must continue to DC, in
active demand at large prices on ac-
count of the scarcity in the United
States of suitable stations for their
production, all such having to be i'm
ported. The yearly increasing demand
for such stations is the best evidence
that such Investments arc prof aDlc.
And to this fact is due the development
of large importing and breeding estab-
lishments, notably among Which and
largely exceeding all others is that of
