Girls As Journalists. CarnIfua Gnla
Caroline Cole.

Brightest and best of all are the young girls who have adopted journ- alism as a profession. They are clever, alert, full of life and wit. They go about, skimming the cream of experi- ence and giving their papers good stuff indeed. They will make good wives for good editors. There is plenty of room and real welcome in the newspaper offices for the sensible, earnest, ambitious girl who knows what to write and how to write it. You have doubtless heard the story of Mrs. Gadabout who paid first visit to Mrs. Newcomer, and who asked her what her husband did for living.
 "Oh," said Mrs. Newcomer, "he is 8 reporter"
 "What's that?"
 "Why, he goes all about town find- ing out things about people and then he prints it in the newspapers. He earns twenty dollars a week.
 "GoOdness gracious! Do you mean to tell me that people get paid for that, and I never knew it," screamed Mrs. Gadabout, as she took up her bonnet and rushed of to newspaper office as fast as she could go.

Husbands and Wives.
F. xenanKe.

"A man is born bachelor, but wo- men are intended to be wives"
 It was a wife from whom came this convincing aphorism. The profanity of the remark plunged every one into silence. Thus encouraged, she went on:
 "Now, I'll prove it to you. A man will leave his wife alarming a sock by the fire, and with 8 merry heart 70 of with lot of men to eat, smoke, drink and play billiards, and come home at nobody knows what hour. See? If a woman tried to initiate him on her own ground, in half an hour she would be engulfed in remorse. and swim home in her own tears"
 "Bravo! 1 feel as if I was on a yacht deck in gale," exclaimed the party of the other part. "Now, look here. A man marries. He stays home five evenings in a week and a woman thinks nothing of it. But on the sixth evening, when he promises to go off with some men, all at once she feels dreadfully neglected. Of course, l don't mean my wife, who is the most generous minded of women"
 This he repeated twice, to make sure that it was heard by that person drum ming on the window pane.
 "Is it reasonable to ask you to ex- pect that a man will give np men whom he has known and loved for twenty years for a woman he has known only two years, or perhaps only six months? Nor can a man take his wife on such expeditions. It wouldn't be the same thing at all. "And besides" he continued, warmed by his own eloquence, "no man can afford to give up the com- panionship of men from a business point of view. Eve no money to squander, you we'll know. Yet, in the last two weeks I've spent five pounds in eating and drinking with men. Now, I regard that five pounds as an investment which I expect will bring me fifty pounds. But you can't get a woman to take that point of view. She sees only its agreeable as- pect, which she doesn't share"
 He glanced cautiously around and then proceeded
 "I say to my man, We might as we'll talk this over good dinner and get some fun out of it anyway It isn't bribe. It only gives me better chance to unfold my plans and to know my man. Then after dinner we smoke, play pool, or go to the theatre. The man or men know Pm not going to press the thing or force them to commit themselves. The matter is discussed, then dropped, and we proceed as if it had been our only object to amuse ourselves. You can see for yourself that this sociability and conviviality among men alone, which is what women object to, is re- ally part of an agreeable part of commercial life."
 Don't you think so ingenious a statement might do good if more widely circulated?" asked the third person, silent listener.

"Did you notice that man who just came
| in and drank huge tumblerful of lemonade,
and then followed iuwith a cup Of cold bouil.
loni" The speaker was the white jacketed
| head barkeeper of well known saloon and
he continued: "Well, he is a regular Gus
conner here, and comes the nearest to being a
two legged tank of any one ever saw Every
night he comes in about midnight, and sits
down at one of those small tables and orders
some kind of drink. He generally begins
with a whisky sour followed up with three
or four more of the same. Then, as if in fear
that his stomach will get chilled he will call,
perhaps, for a couple of hot ScOtches, which
will in turn be washed down by several
brandies with ginger ale.
At a certain point he appears to be struck
with an idea that it is not safe to drink any
more hard stuff, for fear it might go to his
head, so he switches off on new track and
orders lager beer. After half dozen glasses
of this beverage he generally begins prepara-
tions for going home, and l never saw him
so he couldn't walk as usual, and he always
has perfect control of himself. l always
imagine that he drinks hard at night so as to
be able to sleep. Perhaps he has some secret
disappointment, such as an unhappy love af-
fair, that would keep him awake were it not
for the alcohol. In the daytime he never
drinks liquor, wine or beer, but seems to
suffer an intolerable thirst for cold drinks.
Some days make for him dozens of lemon
AIDES, and he always wants the largest glasses. "

HIS NUMEROUS TRICKS

His tricks are almost innumerable, and,
although there are several species of him, all
are characteristic of the genus professional
iuryman." Three-fo fourths of the hung ju''-
les, it is said by court official who is a statis-
tical fiend, are due to professionals" He
delights in a trial for murder or any other
serious offense, as there is a chance for a
clock up,nin which case, if he show sufficient
obstinacy, under the name of "conscien-
tous determination" he can spend several
days at first class hotel, under the assidu-
GUS care of mine host who takes care that he
shall have the best of attention
Another favorite trick he has is to slip into
the jury box and fill up the vacancy caused
by the absence of one of the regularly drawn
jurymen. The clerk has frequently to con-
suit his list and call the roll to di cover the
interloper, and when asked to give the reason
of his presence he generally explains by stat
ing that he Thought the clerk called his
name" OF course there IL no penalty, and
he sinks away, sad at his detection. But he
is man of insistence. One defeat does not
discourage him, and it is but few days un-
til he is ready to repeat the trick.
The genus professional juror for con-
venience of classification, may be subdivided
into number of species, embracing persons
of nearly all ages and all classes of society.
There are politicians designated by various
terms, such as ward workers. 'strikers,n
"wire pullers," or, as they call themselves,
''men of influence" There are thriftless huS-
banls, unnecessary appendages to thrifty
wives who are generally found to be proprie-
tresses of small boarding houses, or worse
still, shiftless fellows who are not so fortu-
nate as to be appendages These are dis
charged policemen, gamblers, spectators,
disabled men, men out of work, and, saddest
of all, shabby genteel men of decayed for
tunes and gentility Every specimen of the
different species is as distinctly recognizable
as if he wore a label. These are the men who
often decide knotty point in common law,
or decide whether prisoner shall spend one
or ten years in tho penitentiary, shall get
"lifer," or be hanged. Courier
