After Many Years.

Can speak with you minute" he asked of one of the officers on duty in the city hall yesterday.
 "les, sir. What is t!''
 Do you observe anything queer about my legs?''
 "Stand off and let me see Why, yes, ohserye-"
 What: Don't be backward about telling me"
 My friend, are those legs just as they always have been?"
 "They are."
 "Havn't they been broken?"
 "No, sir
 Nor twisted wrong-side to-"
 "No, sir.
 "Well, you are the bow-leggedest chap l ever saw. You couldn't look worse if you were trying to walk on each side of a barrel.
 "That's honest, is it :"
 1t is, -
 Then it's all right and am much obliged. The boys were hollering at me all the way up from the depot, and l wanted to see if what they said was true"
 "Didn't any of your friends tell you that you were badly sprung out of shapef"
 "Yes, a dozen of them, and I turned to and licked every mother s son for liar. l am now going to head for home and tender each one an apology. Truth has been a long time coming, but she's here at last. l am a tunnel-shaped man, and I've got to put up with it. Thanks, old fellow, and if it ever comes my way to do you good turn these bow legs will canter to your assistance. y 1 I- Detroit Free Press,

A Dog Story.

An English writer tells the follow ing; "A family let their house fur nished, leaving in it a large dog. The tenant was an old lady who liked to sit in particularly comfortable chair in the drawing room; but as the dog was also very fond of the chair she frequently found him in possession. Being rather afraid of the dog, she did not dare drive him out, and therefore used to go to the window and call 'cats!' The dog would then rush to the window and bark, and the lady would take pos. session of the char.
 "One day the dog entered the room and found the lady in posses, sion of the chair. He ran to tn, window and parked excitedly. The lady got up to see what was the mat ter, and the dog instantly seated himself in the chair.'

Method in Work.

Some men daily perform wonder
 fnl amount of work and still have
 tune for leisure; others do little anC
 are apparently nearly always pressed
 for time for necessary work. IT.
 some measure the difference is owing
 to natural aptitudcs, one man being quick to grasp q situation and prompt
 to act upon it, while another must turn it over and over Tn his mind
 before he full Y comprehends it, and
 frequently y follows his hesitation by slOwness of execution when his worL, is inally Y mapped out. It makes nc | difference what this work is, whether it is manual or mental, these charac- teristics in men will appear. Some are in such hurry that they make costly mistakes, but others, without wasting time in ascertaining the right thing to do, take care, never theless, that it is the right thing, and then do it without delay. The latter accomplish great deal. There are many who, when they get fairly started, work like steam engines but they do not on the whole make progress which is satisfactory to themselves. This is often because they work without method. They are ontstripped by men who seem ingly take it easier and who have no greater capacity than themselves. Their weakness is that they do not do things in order. 1t is too much pitch and toss with them They do dot keep their work In such shape that they can dispatch it with regu- larity and precision. The time con sumed in continually strengthening up constitutes good share of the whole.
 There are some occupations which compel those who follow them to be be orderly and methodical. There is none in which these qualities, where they have been neglected, can not be cultivated to good advantage. Deficiency in them is far from being a token of genius. It signifies some thing of indolence and much that is slip-shod. Every man knows whether or not he is as orderly and methodi- cal as he should he. If he is not, unless he is too old to attempt the task, he should endeavor to improve Tn these respects. There is no dan ger of his carrying it to that excess which marks persons who have pas sionate love of order. but there is q likelihood that it will materially Tighten his work or find that without greater expenditure of effort he can do much more than he has been in the habit of doing - Detroit Free Press.

Andrew Jackson's Dinner.

When Gen. Andrew Jackson wis ited Concord. N. H., after his presi- dential term had expired he was entertained at Cass' Hotel. at that time the leading hotel of the State. The proprietor, wishing to do honor to his distinguished guest, provided a banquet and arranged to serve it with considerable style. With the first course the General surprised the waiter by ordering crackers and milk and refused all other dishes, much to the disgust of the proprietor. Cass' Hotel was the great resort of stage drivers, and it was at this hotel Vice President Morton boarded when q young man and engaged as q cler, in the dry goods business. One of the leading merchants of Concord now in active business, was boarder at the hotel at that time and occu. pied a seat at the same table. .- Bos ton Traveller,

Two Old Nations.

l The Chinese wear white during the periods of mourning, never black The old men playfully fly kites while the boys look on, as in Japan
 They whiten their shoes with chaIl instead of backing them, and noun their horses from the off side. The men in China wear petticoats, whil, the women invariably wear panta looms.
 Men keep the dressmaker and mil linery stores. and every man carries a fan, either in his hand or tucked in the collar of his dress behind the neck. Women smoke on all oc. casions.
 When a man has suffered an injury l at the hands of another and desires revenge, instead of killing his offender he kills himself. believing that the man whom he hates will he held accountable for his death, and will be fearfulIy tormented by demons in this world and the next. If Chinaman wishes to especially honor anyone, he assigns him to a standing or sitting position on his left hand. Instead of T Japanese woman compressing her feet as her Chinese sister does, she has GUS tom far more disgusting
 They naturally have fine teeth, but when woman marries she is compelled by custom to dye her teeth black, which process is repeat ed every few years. The effect is hideous in the extreme.
 The most important article of Il native woman's dress is the obi, or sash. This is usually of a costly material, and is tied behind in a huge bow with the strictest care.
 When Il Japanese woman becomes a widow and signifies her intention never to marry again, she ties the obi in front.
 The tiny Japanese pipe contains but two or three whiffs, and as the tobacco is rolled up tightly in the fingers before it is inserted the ash when shaken out is small fireball, from which second pipe is lighted. At Japanese feast the same cup is passed from hand to hand, each per son rinsing it in bowl of water after using and before offering to another.
 The lowest classes of Japanese are buried in squatting position, in q sort of barrel. It IS a mistake to suppose that the burying of the dead is universal in Japan.
 The rich and noble are buried in square collins, the body being par tially preserved from decay by filling the nose, ears and mouth with yer million. After death the person re- ceives a new name.
 This name is "Okwuna" or the accompany name. It is customary on occasions of the first visit to a house to carry present to the owner, who gives something of equal value on returning the visit Ex.
