Business COurtesies.

In visiting business offices one
meets a great variety of persons.
Most are kind, courteous, and ac-
commodating others are fair to me-
dunn in these respects; another
class-fortunately very small-are in
ill humor nearly all the time, full of
gruffness, and cranky, having much
of the nature of such unpleasant and
fretful animals as bears and porcu-
pines a fourth class are languid and
indifferent in their replies to civil
questions, and are apt to be tinctured
more Or less with a sort of supercil-
iousness and q well-developed self
Importance. These persons appear
to think that if they would unbend,
throw off their awful dignity, and
try to be accommodating, they would
not be estimated at their true worth
and Importance. This class is gen
orally composed of young men who
have more conceit than good sense,
and requires a good many years for
some of them to get cured, the time
required for a cure depending upon
the vigor of their mental constitu-
ton. The newspaper man has met
all these characters and ''sized them
up" and can pigeon-hole them as
rapidly as a postal clerk can pigeon
hole letters.

o Culture, what nonsense is talked

o Culture, what nonsense is talked
in thy name! A Boston preacher
recently stunned his congregation by
the following daring assertion:
The badness of the bad shall never
prejudice my mind against the good
ness of the good, the purity of the
pure, the honor of the honorable.
1t is to be hoped that the mind of
the good man is not blind to the alb
surdity of the absurd, the emptiness
of the empty, the boshiness of the
bosh and the sIushiness of the slush.

what kind of men make the bes'
soldiers?
"Native-born Americans, who's.
boyhood, at least, was either passed
upon the farm or in a small country
village"
"Why?"
Because they are usually of good
physical quality, and they know how
to do, fairly well, almost anything.
Most of them can do a fair turn al
plain cooking or baking, they can
sew tolerably well, and on a pinch
can do a clever act at washing
clothes I; they can handle an axe, q
crosscut saw, and the ordinary me-
chanical tools quite well; they are
not apt to be visionary Or hot-headed,
and when it comes to discipline, they
all cen to take to it with manly
