A Point for a Beggar.
From the Buffalo Express.

From the Buffalo Express
"Please, sir, can you help me with a
few cents to pay for a nights lodg-
ing ?''
The stereotyped appeal of the men
dicant was addressed to the stony
hearted boss of the street cleaning
gang, who was experimenting the
garbage. gathering in front of g. prom
inent business ablishment.
"No, won't, but I'll do something
better. I'll put you in the way of
earning an honest living, like the rest
OF US, by using your muscles and wag-
ging your tongue" was the answer.
'"To-morrow morning when the gang
egin work on the residence streets
just you go along ahead of the carts,
and whenever you fail to find the ash
barrel or garbage box put out, just
slip to the back door and offer to
carry them out for nickel. On some
of the streets which are swept only
once week fully one fifth of the garb-
age and ashes is missed because the
man of the house forgets TO roll out
his barrels and the women are not
strong enough to do it. So there's
your path to wealth. Now, if I ever
catch you begging on the streets again
look out for the brass buttons"

Profit Sharing Goes.
From the New York Evening SIM

from the new 1CIK Evening sun.
A reporter called at the Office of
Rogers, Peet & Co., on Broadway, in
quest of a full exposition ofthe work
ing and results of the profit-sharing
system after g. fair trial.
Frank r. Chambers, Of the firm,
cheerfully consented to give his views
and experience on profit sharing.
"We have operated this system for
nearly two years.
GLOW does it work? Does it stimu-
late employees to increase sales 20
"Well, as to stimulating employees,
we have found that it does do so.
About increasing sales, we do not cal
culate our profit sharing upon the
trade controlled by our employees.
We simply base our dividends upon
our own net gains, and gather our own
percentage figure from the amount of
our own profit. Every employe who
worked for us, if only for week, un-
less he has been DISCHARGED for gross
neglect or some such offense as drunk
enness. Is entitled to a share of divi-
dend calculated upon his salary fig
ure. o. course our sales are increased
by the operation, because each and
every employee has Inducements to turn
out his very finest work, and this the
public recognizes.
Regarding the working Of the sys-
tenn, the result of our first years ex-
perience was satisfactory, so far as
We were able to observe, aud in the
record OF our manufacturing depart
ment, which is the best criterion, we
found that, while we had reduced our
dours OF labor, our men had pro-
puced more work, feeling naturally
terson interest. Our records showed
hat the production of the factory on
reduced time had been equal to that
realized at the time when we sustained
longer hours. This speaks very we'll
for the plan"
"What, Mr.. Chambers, was last
years dividend?"
"About 81 per cent. of the salaries.
You must understand that we do not
contract to pay any specified figure.
We promise q certain percentage
The dividends are purely favors on

Science in Navigation.

From the Mobile Register.
did you ever hear OF plOughing q

old river engineer yesterday.
The reporter had heard many g.
tough yarn from the fresh-water salts

Street between trips, but this was
brand-new, and he surrendered.
"Well, last July the Carrier grounded

The crew pulled away on the capstan

when the mate, seeing we would be

Difficult Reporting.

He who attempts to report feryid
oratory, from memory alone, should
be possessed of sharp and accurate
ears. There are orators so swift of
tongue that they even outrun short
hand. Leslie Coombs, OF Kentucky,
whose political speeches were like cav.
alcades OF wild horsemen, once said
to q waiting reporter, "Young man,
[ hope you don't intend to try report
ing me-" On receiving an affirmative
answer, he said, "You might as well
attempt TO report red-hot balls"

In reporting him which were some
times not 10 be justified, even by the
haste of the scribe. OF these one OF
the most amusing belongs TO q speech
made in Faneuil Hall. Mr.. Choate
had quoted the well-known words
from Othello, 80 Iago the pity of it,
Iago ~ and one of the ablest report
ers IN the country set it down, "Oh,
L argue the pity OF it, argue"
Ihe phrase was so printed next

and heard the original version, and
to the amusement of those who had.
In a brilliant eulogy upon O. public
man whose virtues were of the most
sterling character, aspeaker is quoted
ashaving called him the wrestler OF his
age" The expression really was the
''Nestor OF his age"
Still another story is almost too
absurd to be believed, though the re-
ceived argument that truth is strang-
or than fiction is in it's favor. An
orator, having referred to g. public
vice as a "crying evil" was surprised
to see his neat and emphatic phrasing
figuring in print as O. "fying weasel"
Whether or not he then sought out
the reporter, and insisted upon "look-
ing at his bumps" as Charles Lamb
once suggested in regard to another
rem arkable person, is not recorded.

A Quiet Life.

From the New York Graphic.
It is curious how the whirligig OF
tine brings old faces to the front.
Years ago Bluford Wilson, Of Illinois,
was power in this country. He was
g. solicitor of the treasury in tho days
of the whisky ring, and played O. big
hand in the game which Secretary
Bristow started for the destruction Of
the conspiracy against the Internal
revenue laws. Mr.. Wilson is small,
fussy sort of fellow, but nevertheless
man of some strong parts, and In
those days of mighty legal and politi-
cal combat his name was upon every
body's lips, and the daily papers
were incomplete without it. Now he
is O. country lawyer out in Illinois,
making a good winning at his probes
sion, and he is rarely heard of now
unless he comes to New York and
some veteran of the press recognizes
his face and digests his condition past
ana present. Public men, like actors,
are only interesting and important
when they are on the stage. AS soon
as they have played their little
part nd go off the new actor is the
only one that commands attention.

hostler seized big sponge, rushed to

Shakespeare Revenged.
From the FDoch

Shakespeare has his revenge. The
tables are now turned on Bacon: A
Herr Eugen Reichel, of Stuttgart, has
published q pamphlet entitled, "Who
Wrote the .Novum Organum p" He
argues, first. that Bacon could not
have written it, and then tries to as
certain who was the author. At first
he thought that Shakespeare might be
the guilty party. but ne soon en-
countered chronological difficulties
which made him abandon this n.y.
pothesls. His final theory is that it
was written by a teacher of Bacon's,
who died before it was published, and
that Bacon, whose moral principles
were not OF the highest, claimed the
work as his own.
