Why Treasury Girls Don't Marry.

Washington National Republican.
"a great deal has been said" remarked lady
clerk in the Treasury Department, "about why
our girls don't marry. So FAR | have only heard
the men quoted, and they say great deal about
the girls losing their charms and becoming less
feminine by mixing with the business world and
about wanting to better their condition by mar
riage. Now, if you reporters really want to
know something about the matter, why don't
you go to the women themselves I'll just tell
you one thing, and it's what believe to be an
important reason When q kirl is kept at home
surrounded by girls, and hears of the greatness
Of the masculine part of the genus homo, and
only meeting him at picnics and in the parlors,
she conceives rather exalted idea of what he
really is. Then, when she secures position
and meets them as they are away from gaslights
uncertain glitter her idea of the actual fact falls
considerably from what it was in her inexpe-
rience, if she still retains the ideal in her
mind. The fact is, are like Diogenes-we
are hunting for an honest man. We know more
about them than we did, and so the right man is
naturally harder to find"

Oil Paintings by the Yard.

New York M all and Express.
"Do you know how these pictures are painted"
inquired an art connoisseur of reporter refer
ring to pictures displayed in All art auction
house. ''You don't? Well I'll tell you the
story of their construction told by a
thoroughly reliable party. He said he knew an
artist in Chicago who was good painter, but
had ruined himself by drink. Broken down he
took to painting pictures for auctioneers and
this is how he did it. He would spread long
strip of canvas across the room, and then mark
it off into sections according to the size he
wanted the pictures He would then mix about
dozen pots of paint of different colors as
many as he required to use. Taking brush
with one color he would paint tree or some
thing at each section. Then he would take
another color and paint water or houses on each
picture, and on, until he had about twenty
pictures all alike, 1t would take perhaps day
to paint twenty. for which he received IS cents
each, or $l5 That was enough for him to go off
on another drunk. Now you can understand
how these fellows can sell genuine oil paintings
so cheaply. The frames only cost 80 cents
apiece and will very tarnish, so that if
they sell picture at almost any price they make
money!

Perhaps you don't take any stock in what

true every word of it. TO show you that my
pride is all one, I'll go right down from this
platform aud kiss that poor old niger woman in
the front seat"
True to his word. the convert started for the
front seat, but before he had reached the floor
both he and the audience had become motion
less. Old annty had slowly arisen. Her eyes
gowed with Indignation at the blatant Insult
which had been heaped upon her. The convert
who would have We injured to kiss her in that
mood might not have had pride, but would have
required large amount of nerve
In a shrill voice she exclaimed keep away

had been dubbed the interrogation point of the

he asked: "Ah, driver, l wondah what the

Old Bill scarcely glanced up, as he replied:
That's man buried up there, and the boys
were in such hurry that they did not dig deep
enough 70 get his feet in"

make note of that, but say, driver, the toes

knau."
Yes" said old Bill, musingly, she was an
Irishman"
But what's his being an Irishman got to do
with his being buried face DOWN. asked the
now thoroughly aroused Britisher.
Old Bill looked at him in plying manner for
some seconds, and then in tone full of deep
sorrow and establishment at the tourists ignor-
ance, said: 'Well, do you see we've got sort of
superstition out this way that election day
every dead iIrishman gets out of his grave and
votes, and so lately we've got to buryng em on
the top of the hill face down, that the more
the corpse tries to dig out the deeper he gets in

The Lovers Millennium,

they were ready to get married when they went
to the nearest parson ana had the knot tied.
When the much-hopedfor millennium along

especially in cases where the lover happens to be
honest and capable of supporting if it be mod
estly, the woman ne expects to wed But in
pretty and captivating, and thoy won't marry

almost pity that the millennium doesn't come
