Auditing Accounts.

A travelling railroad agent who was
telling party of friends in Buffalo his
experience with expense accounts said
II remember one occasion when I had
been sent out on special mission in
the interest of our road which necessi.
tated the buying of fluids and edibles
in liberal way. On my return I In
timated to my superior officer that it
was hardly the fair thing for me to
personally stand the expense, to which
proposition he readily agreed, and told
me to make out voucher and he would
approve it. So I retired to my desk
and prepared the account with great
care; 80 much for champagne, so much
for cigars, SO much for dinners, car
riages, ETC., in addition to my other
personal expenses. When l laid the
voucher on his desk he took il up and
looked it over, and I wish you could
have seen his face. It was study, and
I got nervous. why. you blamed fool,
said he, do you think I'm an idiot
What do you suppose the directors
would say when they got hold OF that
account? Now you just make out a
voucher in this way: To expenses at
tending (mention the occasion) so much,
and I'll audit it. / followed his in

The Image Peddler.


Right in the midst of an elbowing
and jostling crowd walks the italian
image vender. On his head is tray,
crowded full of his fragile wares. How
little it would take to destroy the equi-
poise and send them, crashing, to the
pavement! But he pursues his way
with perfect ease, and does not seem to
fear such calamity Neither you, nor
I, could carry them thus for dozen
steps, even when there was no throng
to disturb, without an accident. A few
years ago the image vender confined
himself to figures of saints, virgins,
and kindred subjects, but now his wares
include almost everything in animate
nature. Some of them are really beau
tifuI and artistic, and find their
way into homes of culture. Very
often the vender and the maker of
these images is one and the same per-
son. He molds them of plaster, but
there is no little skill and genius re-
quired to dress them down and get the
right shade of coloring. He does not
confne his operations to the city, but
makes his regular trips through the
country, disposing Of his merchandise
in towns and villages. He does not
talk when it is not necessary, but

The RuSSian Rage.

Since Tolstoi's works grew popular
the rage for everything Russian has
been steadily growing, and now Rus
somania is threatened to rival Anglo
mania Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt's sis
ter wore Russian peasants dress at
Narraganset Pier two summers ago,
and at that time it was called "per.
fectly hideous," but now it is being
widely copied. It is made of dark
blue cambria, with narrow plain skirt
embroidered in red cross stitch. The
bodice is gathered full at the throat
and waist, and has broad embroid.
cred belt and the long, open sleeves
are entirely covered with needle work.
An apron, so large that it is almost an
overdress, is made in the same fashion,
and drawn high on one side with full
red bows. These are the dresses
young girls will wear at teas, where
the beverage will be poured from a
samovar into the cut glass tumblers in
stead of cups, and with thin slices of
lemon floating in them. The married
women when they serve tea will wear
Russian tea-gowns which are trailing
robes of white silk, trimmed down the
front and around the neck and heels
with broad band of black fur. They
will call their teas prazdnick, and will
serve the drink boiling hot, as is the
fashion in the land of the Gear. Rus
sian music will be all the rage, too, and
the bands which play at receptions are
already practicing the compositions of
Davorak, and other Russian compos-
ers. Small and select ladies' lunch
cons will be intensely Russian, and this
is the manner of them: After the
usual consomme, bird, said, and ice
are served, boiling hot coffee in little
jugs, with spoon, q package of Turk
ish cigarettes, and Russian torch on q
small individual tray. The idea is to
sip the coffee between the puffs of the

xorHKR'S GROWING OLD.
By 4. Q. DODGE.


Mothers hair is turning white;
More she feels the cold,
And her step is not 30 light
Mothers growing old.
Growing old each silvered hair
That we've helped to make
Tells Of self-denials rare
For her children's sake.
Motl.er tires quicker now;
Less her dear hands hold;
Lines are deepening on her brow
Mothers growing old,
Growing old Those lines Of csre,
That, alas, we've laid,
Tell heart aches and many q pray'r
For her dear ones made.
Mother reads her Bible, through
Glasses trimmed with gold,
All, tits plain and sad to view
Mother growing old
Growing old-that she might give
Us a mothers love;
Helping Us 50 We may live
With her when above.
Mothers form IL spare and bent,
Illness we behold;
For US life and strength are spent
Making her grow old;
Growing oldest we astray
In Maynard path might roam;
Growing old to give each day
Us home, sweet homo.
