Tho method by which an employee is
bundled in a surety company is simple
enough. The employe, having beer re-
quested by his employer to furnish a bond
In some stated amolnt, goes to a reliable
surety company and fills out and signs an
application. The application contains a
number of questions regarding the char
acter and antecedents of the employe,
which must be answered fully and specif-
ically. All ~employments for ten years
last past must be clearly stated, with the
reason for leaving each. A complete de-
scription of the appearance of the appli-
cant is noted on the back of the ~applica-
ton. At least four responsible persons
must be given as references. To each of
them q special form of questions is then
sent. Upon satisfactory answers to these
questions, and Upon q careful private in
vestigation of the habits of life of the APP
plicant, n bono is executed by the guaran-
tee company and handed to the employer,
insuring him against loss arising from
dishonesty on the part of the employe.
AT tho very threshold 1t is remarkable
to observe how many EMPLOYERS dread to
offend their employees by asking them for
such a bond. This may be very well as a
matter of delicate politeness, but surely,
In tho expressive language of trade, cit is
not business. The question is not what
Is most courteous, but what is most
rightI What is most just not only to the
employer, but to tho employee HIMSELF
Could n better test be devised than to ask
an employe to give a bond? If he Is
honest, he will do so cheerfully; If he
gets offended, " II were as well to dis
charge him without much delay.-Lin-
coin l.. Eyre in Lippincott's Magazine.

A prominent Worcester business man
passed through an experience in dream
land a few nights ago hat is puzzling the
local psychologists, and wifi add inter
esting data for the society for psychical
research. He had an idea he ought to
shave and proceeded to do SO. Just be-
fore he began work it occurred to him
that it would be the easiest thing in the
world to take off his head, and, placing
it on the table, facilitate matters. 1t
seemed in the dream that this was allow
able for n certain number of minutes
without endangering life. So he hung
up his watch to count the minutes.
The operation continued till some
errand called the man across the room,
and he returned to find his head was
missing. He looked at the watch and
found the time was near when he must
have his head in its proper place if he
cared to keep it. Then he lost his head"
in two ways, and rushed frantically
about the room, looking in every avail
able place. Just as the minute hand was
about to cross the fatal point the Wor-
cester man woke up, felt for his head,
and was relieved to find it there

Travellers in Java have filed pages and
columns with rh~apsodies over the mangos-
teen, and all unite in extolling it as the
supreme delight of the tropics. The man
gosteen appears to one as n hard round
fruit the size of a peach. It's hard outer
shell or rind is OF the same color and
thickness as a green walnut, but in this
brown husk lie six or eight segments of
creamy white pulp. The little segments
are easily separated, and transferred to
the mouth melt away, the pulp being as
soft and fine as a custard. The mangos-
teens delicate pulp tastes, us all it's Gu
logists say, like Strawberries, peaches,
bananas and oranges all at once; a slight
tartness is yelled in these delicious favors,
and 1t is never cloyingly sweet. Taken
just as it comes from the ice box the
mangosteen is IN epicure's dream real
lied, and the more's the pity hat it only
grows in far away places and deadly eli
mates, and does not bear transportation.
Large sums have been offered, and p.
and o. steamships hav made hundreds of
Intellectual efforts to get u basket of man
gosteens to England for the queen. The
bard rind looks unchanged for weeks, but
the delicate pulp melts away, and the
dryest and coolest refrigerator chambers
cannot keep the heart of the mangosteen
from spoiling.-Globe Democrat.

couuterfeiters, rato in China.

Two coppersmiths out of employment
in Hankow privately formed a little
company to make copper cash, and be-
gan their operations for some reason by
melting down about eight pounds of i'm
perial copper coins. The band had made
but little progress in their secret trade,
having only manufactured altogether
some 10000 coins, equivalent to little
more than e3, when they were captured,
tried and condemned. According to the
report, the ringleader was sentenced to
immediate decapitation for melting down
coin of the realm; the next, who had as
sisted in the work of coming, was sem
fenced to decapitation after imprison-
ment; while two others, who had pol
ished the spurious coins, and the
last, who acted as bookkeeper, were
treated not as principals, but as accesso-
ries, liable to transportation to Turkes-
tan and employment as slaves to the
troops there-a fate believed to be worse
than immediate decapitation. Some
other men, who seem to have had moth
ing to do with the coming itself, but
acted as domestic servant to the princi-
pals, received sentences of three years

Few people would guess the etymology
of ealing" when applied to a whale,
printed us it was exactly like this in the
columns of n weekly contemporary. 1t
is really "ca'ing," the Scotch For calling,
that name being given to this species of
whale from the curious bleating sound
they make. A stranded calf whale has
n very pitiful call for its dam, which the
latter answers in q harsher tone. The
name is really local to the Scottish
islands, the proper name being the de-
ductor, the whales being SO called be-
cause they roam about the sea under the
guidance of q leader in the shape of an
old bull. In the early spring, just before
the breeding season, there is a very keen
competition for this office, and more
than once the contending bulls have both
been known to die from the effects OF
the encounter.
The whale is not a very large one,
being only from sixteen to eighteen feet
long; it has occasionally been taken In
immense quantities among the shoals
II channels of the Hebrides, Orkneys,
Shetlands and Fair Isles. When q herd
makes its appearance the natives lose no
timo in collecting all the boats, guns and
haIpoons which they can lay their hands
on. They then try all they can to get
seaward of the shoal, and if they succeed
enucaVor,. ny. advancing with blowing
horns, splashing oars, firing guns and
shouting, to drive the terrified cetaceans
on shore. Once they are stranded q ter
rifle attack is made, and hundreds have
been slain in a single battue. The scene
is of the most picturesque it is pos
siblc TO witness in the north of Scotland.
1t is quite another affair from the occa-
sional grounding Of n Greenland whale,
the GAZING whale being of an entirely
different and far moro gregarious species.

THE LIoN AMONG TIE FLOWERS.

Here, In this garden nook, alone.
Lies an old lion OF gray stone
Once, in thelo long gone golden hours.
A lordly lion, proud in state,
The guardian OF a mansion gate
Now he lies low among the flowers.
Then, oft he saw the shining DOOR,
Heard light feet fall on festal floors,
Heard music wake It's witching din,
Then dance beneath the torches blaze
The knights and Indies OF old days.
While he watched over all within.
Now he lies hero; In his old age
Cast out, rejected, b. the rage
OF time, n down beaten, broken, Scared
An old gray lion; yet not less
A lion IN his feeblenessl
One thing Is left him stu to guard.
He gu ards it well, by night and day,
In those great paws Of granite gray,
u the strong shelter Of his breast;
No man shall serve him yet with scorn,
Though al old lion, thus f%orlorn,
And all he guards-a robins nestl

Beating the Weighing Machine.

One of these machines is stationed at
a certain railroad station in this state.
The same room contains a newsstand, at
tended by a boy who will tie a string to
a nickel, step on the platform, drop the
nickel in the machine, and get his
weight. Before stepping off, he calls up
next, the machine giving their combined
weight. The boy steps off, at which the
machine gives the correct weight of No.
,. This process is repeated until the
supply of subjects to be weighed is ex-
hausted. Now, before the last party
steps down, the boy, who has held ON to
the string all this time, carefully pulls in
the string and gets his nickel back. 1

examined for cash, there will be little

RIGHT AND WRONG.

Alas how easily things go wrong;
A sigh too much or a kiss too long,
And there follows a mist and a weeping rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alasl how hardly things go right
It's hard to watch on a night
For the sigh viii come and the kiss will stay,
And the summer night Is a winters day.
And yet how easily things go right
II the sigh and kiss of the winters night
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That Is born in the light of the winters day.
And things can never go badly wrong
II the heart be true and the love be strong;
For the mist, II it comes, and the weeping rain
VIII be changed by love into sunshine again.
