Good Advice for Young Men.

And as for the men we respect, let them
give up part of the time they spend in
money making to put on the polish that
may seem superfuity, but which women
love, nevertheless, as they love all super
huitiesP A few trifling airs and graces, q
suavity Of speech, q neatly turned compn-
ment, profound bow-these are baga-
telles, it is true, but in their way they
work wonders and open highway to the
hearts of the simpler and weaker sex that
has before been closed by gates Of ada
mant- They are easily picked up in youth,
but the old tongue trips awkwardly over
hOneyed words and phrases, and the stiff
old back at 40 odd can never achieve g.
bow which is much better than none at
all. Even the men OF the Faubourg st.
Germain-every city has it's Faubourg ST.
Germain-think better of one for possess
ing these social embellishments, and there
is not in the world talisman Of such po-
tent magic as the nameless and irresistible
spell Of a charming manner. 1t ought to
be innate, of course, but 1t can be in a great
measure acquired.
The plodders upon whom Dame Fortune
is turning q dawning smile may pause
awhile on the way. The smile and the
good luck are sure to come, the brighter
and better for delay, and the young man
who looks forward to one day being man
Of millions may just as well fit himself
early for the proud position he means to
occupy.-Boston Herald.

THE GAME OF FAN TAN.

WHY a Chinese Ex-Mandar1n Thinks 10
Should Be Encouraged.
The police will keep on hurting China
mems feelings as long as there is fan tan
playing The Cinnamon VIII keep on
playing fan tan so long as there is money
in it. The latter have become used to
paying expensive hotel bills for second
class lodgings at the Tombs, and the for
mer are gradually being Initiated into the
mysteries of that fascinating game that
made All Sin so famous the world over.
will bet 'Fhah of the howery kingdom
that All Sin will come out the first best in
this interesting contest-that he Will even
tually convert the police of the metropolis
to the belief that fan tan playing is mo-
rally and religiously correct and its sup
preston a cruel and outrageous wrong.
In the first place, fan tan playing is
born into the Chinaman; therefore, it
must be religiously carried out. Lock up
the fan tan players, chain them with
heavy chains, gag and blindfold them,
place half dozen millstones upon their
necks, give them nothing but water and
tea to eat-they will bet with their fingers
or toes in the dark cells, just as if nothing
had happened.
A Chinaman believes he can never go to
heaven unless he can play the fan tan
properly. Those Cinnamon who do not
play refrain because they are not particu-
larly anxious to enter into the happy land
of the good Mongolians. Besides, what's
the use of stopping fan tan playing? 1t
will keep the heathens from doing any
thing wrong toward the Christians, at
least while they are playing fan tan. 1t
will save lots of shirts being torn into
fragments for the time being. 1t will
save lots of beers and whiskies in the
saloons for the more worthy sons Of toll
There would be more room left upon the
sidewalks for more civilized people to
utilize. Not only this but it is really the
only way to get these heathens to leave
some of their boarded wealth in this
glorious land Of the free and of the brave
There are always two great certainties in
this peculiar fan tan business. At every
game some one has got to lose and some
one has got to win.
The winner as rule will treat. Some
times whole gang of them will adjourn
to the nearest second class restaurant
about the Fourth ward to have one solid
If not wholesale meal at the expense Of
the lucky fan tan player. That money
may have gone directly Chinaward had it
not been for that wise game Of fan tan in
Mott street. The good fan tan player Is
also an tnveterate ''fried oyster f1end, p" he
eats IL as if he intended to stay here.
Ane paper man AnO inc printers Wou1d
have been left entirely in the cold had it
not been for the godly fan tan players,
who buy their committees boxes of play
ing cards weekly for 'pokees' and other
civilized games. In fact to make the
story brief, the fan tan players are luxuri-
ON heathens. They live upon the fat Of
the land Therefore they naturally leave
more money here than the wicked and in
dustrious l,undrymen, who earn lots Of
money and spend nothing. Let us have
more fan tan shops, it is profitable for the
country. No more laundries. Wong

THE GRASS WORLD.

Oh, life Is rife In the heart OF the year
When midsummer suns sail high;
And under the shadow Of spike and spear.
In the depth OF the daisy sky,
There's life unknown to the careless giancei
And under the stillness-an airy prance.
And slender, jointed things aStir,
And gossamer wings in a sunny whir-
And a world of work and dance.
Soft In its throbbing, the conscious green
Demurely answers the breeze;
While down in its tangle, in riotous sheen.
The hoppers are bending their knees;
And only beetle or q numbering ant,
AS he pulls feathery spray aslant-
Or the sudden dip OF a forNging bird.
With its vibrant trail of the clover stirred
Discovers the secret haunt.
All, the grass world dies In the autumn dayR
When, studded with sheaf and stack,
The fields lie browning in sullen haze,
And creak in the farmers track
flushed is the tumult the daisies knew
The hidden sport of the supple crew;
And lonely and dazed in the glare of day,
The stiff kneed hoppers refuse to play
In the stubble that mocks the blue.
For all things feel that the time Is drear
When life runs low In the heart Of the year.

Newspapers in the National Library.


Some of these old American newspapers
have been of great value to the govern
ment, and the full set of The Charleston
Courier covering the period of the late
civil war has saved 1t hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. The set of files was
bought by the government at the request
Of the southern claims commission, who
wanted the daily papers of the war period.
The man holding the papers would only
sell the whole file from the beginning
away back in 1900, and the government
paid So, 900 for it. Whenever claim for
damages on the ground of loyalty and con-
sequent loss Of property was set up by any
OF the citizens of Charleston or South
Carolina these papers were referred to,
and in many cases conclusive proof was
found in them that the claimants had
been Confederates and that they had taken
part in the Confederate meetings during
the war. This barred them from receiv-
ing anything from the government, and
the buying of the papers was very prof
liable nvestment.-Frank G. Carpenter

THE WEEK In CONGRESS,
Nothing Very Startling Expected
to Come Up.
Special to the Globe.

Sptcldl W Tue
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22o.-Another week
is to be devoted in the senate to the con-
sideration of the Blair educational bill.
but the author of the measure SAYS he has
reason to believe that a vote will be
taken upon it before adjournment over
to next week. About half dozen SEN
ators have asked to speak on the sub
ject. and some of the time during the
week will be consumed in minor mat
tiers. The urgency deficiency bill will
come up after the morning hour in the
senate tomorrow, and there may be
some secret sessions during the week
for the consideration of nominations
and possibly treaties. The house will
tomorrow continue consideration of the
ThOebe-CarliSle contested election.
There may be some sharp debate, and
the case may yet consume considerable
time. 1t is hardly probable that Oppor-
tunity will be offered for call of the
states and territories for the introduce
ton of bills, bat, if there is, the call will
be made. 1t is just possible that
during the week the committee
on elections will report the Lowry
White contested election case from In
diana, in which event it will be taken
up and disposed of. MIR. Wilkins in
tends to push to consideration his bill
to increase the circulation of national
banks to the par value of bOrds depOS-
tied with the treasurer. He is backed
in his perSistency by the committee on
banking and currency, but says he does
not intend to urge consideration to the
degree OF detfiment to other business.
The Greenbacl2ers are arrayed against
the measure. and there will be some
more filibustering. The committee on
appropriations will call up the regular
pension appropriation bill, which usu-
ally excites more or less debate, If not
by the direct, by the collateral issues it
raises. Possibly the committee will re-
port the deficiency bill during the week.
The committee on foreign affairs in
tends to ask the passage of its bill ap-
propriating s200,Oc0 to enable the
United States to participate in the
Paris exposition. There are lot of
little issues which may spring up in
either house of congress during the
week to consume time and provoke

hopes and aspirations of those who are
here working for the opening of the
reservation, Mr.. King said:
You may say for me that it has been
and is my special desire to harmonic
all conflicting interests, and TO prevent
any diScord whatever. Instead of an
tagonizing Senator Dawes, or anyone
else, or any bill, | continually labor to
dispel even
EVERY APPEARANCE OF IT.
My views concerning admission or
division have steadily and SteadfaStly
kept to myself. and have neither time
nor inclination to give any attention to
any other measure before congress. 1t
is my whole OBJ Get to get the facts OF
the situation before the senators and
representatives. From Rapid City to
Chamberlain, across the reservation, is
only about 165 miles, and yet by the
nearest travelled route it is over 500
miles, and to Bismarck 1900 miles.
No white man is at liberty to
cross the reservation, except by the
Pierre road, unless favored with pass,
and no Indian can leave it, except by
permission. We feed them in idleneSs
and keep them in ignorance, and OK
eXpend about 81, 100000 per annum in
doing so, and my object is TO do all that
can be done to open this surplus of land
still outside of the limits of the reserva-
ton proper-lands which they cannot
use-protect them in their property, and
better their condition"
How about their signatures being
obtained in order to get the reservation
opened?"
''If that should become law cash
annuity ought to be added. so as to Off
set any possible evil influence which
might be eXerted against the PROPOSE
ton. We desire to avoid the great in
tluenceS which we know might be used
in that direction. Besides, the Indians
know better how to take care of money
than people suppose. In general it
may be said that we are willing, how
ever, to accept any bill which shall be-
come law. We who are here are
simply running a bureau of information,
spreading facts wherever we go, in
order to hasten action, if possible. We
all feel confident that the reservation

London Rarmaids.

London Correspondence New York World.
The barmaids generally dress in
black. They are much given to having
their hair cut short and then eurled
tight over their heads. They are al
ways supposed to be youthful and to
wear merry expression. The merry
expression is a little wearing at times,
but i'll the main the careless customers
are content with mechanical smiles and
cast-iron laughter at the traditional
British joke that comes in with every
order.
Here is typical barmaid as sketched
last night in the Princess theater. She
was Slightly above medium height and
very plump. She filed a close-fitting
black dress nearly to the point of burst
ing Her face was round and clear in
its lines: Her complexion was naturally
fair, and, If she had been content with
what nature had given her in the way of
well. But she was not. The red and
white of the theatrical paint-box
were laid on in thick stripes, and
without the least pretense of disguise.
Her eyes were the intense dark-black
bead color so common among
the women of the servant class. Her
features were regular, and when She
laughed, as she did at stated intervals,
she displayed snowy white teeth. Her
intensely black hair was curled tight
around her very round head. She rep
resented the very sunniest of barmaid
good nature and lively spirits. She
smiled upon the lame, the halt and
blind with the same JUNCTION when they
came for an order as she did upon the
most Respondent of the gilded youth.
She laughed with unwearying fortitude
at jokes that were old, weary and moss
grown when Caesar invaded Britain
with his Roman hosts.

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Friends of
Sevellon Brown, chief clerk of the de-
partment of state, say that that gentle
man contemplates rendering his resig-
nation. Mr.. Brown came here from
Auburn, N. Y, with Mr.. Seward, and
has a thorough knowledge of govern
mental affairs. When called Oh tonight
by a reporter and asked about his al
legged contemplated resignation, Mr..
Brown very mOdestly replied that he
had always detested being the object Of
newspaper nOtOrlety, and would prefer
not to talk about the matter at this
time. He did not care to deny or affirm
the rumor, and as it was not of national
Importance whether he resigned or not,
he asked if he might be pardoned from
discussing the subject.
