One yodng man in an Albany boarding
house is in trouble. A young lady residing
in the establishment for some time had
msde life miserable by playing on the
asthmatic piano in the parlor Finally
patience became vice and the young man
resolved 70 sacrifice himself for the good of
Others. He procured hose, attached it to
the cold water faucet 10 the wash room,
carried the other end into the parlor and
turned it upon the fair disciple of Vulcan.
The effect was even more than could have
been expected, for it not only stopped the
noise but poured into the works of the
piano. In the subsequent excitement this
was not noticed The wires had time 10
become rusted and an expense Of $50 was
necessary for making rep IRIS. The land
lady Is now endesvOrirg to collect the
amount of the young man, whose financial
condition makes il impossible for him to
comply with the demand

selfshness at Balls.


A society woman writes deprscatingly Of
the want of manners that SO many people
exhibit at balls and other social entertain
ments, and of the ruthlessness with which
they will interrupt an interesting converse
ton. How are they to know that it is in
teresting? Well, if they have only a little
disc1i ninetion they will be able to see for
Themselves. Once upon time" she says,
1T was understood that opportunities we-e
10 be waited for, and tetes-a-tetes were not
abruptly broken in upon" But such
state of things, if it ever existed, exists no
longer. a woman will beckOn to a man
cross drawing room, and, 10 he will
rise and 60 leaving the woman be had
been talking to all alone, and perhaps she
knows no one else in the room. Another
woman will cross the room and enter into
conversation with man who is enjoying a
quiet talk with another woman, whom
she does not know. But it is 80 easy TO
ignore the other woman A man will
seek ont another man who has re red to a
secluded corner with a pretty girl, and,
not showing the girl, VIII tell his friend
he wants to introduce him to certain

THE DEADLY ovERCOAT.
A Justification of the Man Who Don't
Wear One.

Wear One.
From The Lancet.
We protest against the indiscriminate
use of the thick and heavy overcoat. We
would rather see men in fairly robust con-
dition, especially if young, clad warmly
next the skin, and wearing either light
Top coat or none at all. There can be no
doubt that the habitual use of great coats
is indirectly accountable for the chills
which they are intended to prevent Were
the overcos, worn continuously it might
attain it's object It's intermittent use,
even when ample undertaking is worn,
affords no solid guarantee Of safety, but
rather the reverse.
The man Ct sedentary habits has especial
need 10 remember this. He merges daily
from a warm breakfast room clothed in his
ordinary winter garments, with probably
wooden underwear, and over all the heavy
ulster or top coat After short walk be
finds that the sense OF warmth be began
with is more than maintained. He ar
rives at his Office or placs of business, and
off goes the 0yeTcOst, though the air OF the
newly opened room is az cold as that with
ont, and draughty in addition. During the
the day perhaps he travels to and from ad-
iacent business houses wearing only his
house clothing. The overcoat Is laid aside
till closing time reminds him Of the jour
ney home. The frequent result is that
somehow, between the hours Of his depart
ure and return, be is chilled. No doubt
he would run as great a rick If, lightly clad,
he were to face the rigOr of winter day.
In this case, however, exercise and habit
might do much 10 develop the power OF
endurance, and there would, at al events,
be less danger of sudden cold acting upon
a freely perspiring surface.
Wooden Undertaking represents state
of healthy comfort intermediate between
these extremes, and more resistant to chill
than either.

Chicago will dedicate on the 4th Of May,
the third anniversary Of the Haymarket
massacre, g statue in honor of the 200 po-
licemen who bravely faced the bomb
throwing mob on that fearful night The
statue will etand on the very spot and will
represent a police officer of heroic size,
with his right hand uplitted. The in
scription reads: 'In the name Of the people
of the State of Illinois, command peace, -
the words spoken by Captain Ward a mo-
ment before the bomb was thrown. The
statue bids fair to be an appropriate me-
mortal Of an act of rare devotion TO duty.

LIGHT AND SHADE.
AN OLD SONG RESTING.

Miss Mary had, that is, she owned
A lamb of unknown gender;
GO where she N ight, by day or night
That cosset would attend 'er.
When as she went 10 school one day
The lamb went Ia ging after,
which circus did throw every kid
Into a ft Of laughter
Kicking the c-sset out OF doors,
The teacher spanked the triskers;
Rut me lanbkin cried in the cold outside
Aud the wind blew through its whlskers.
Then all the blistered children asked:
"W hat makes the lamb love her, sir
..,rv dears. said he, lit looks 10 me
Ikea case OF vice versa.
MORAL.
Now. from this story you shall learn
That there is nary creature
That is above the OF love,
Unless it be a teacher. ,,

Letter From Bancrof;-Mark Twain's Ill
Temper.
I saw most interesting letter from the
venerable George Bancroft, in which the
historian gave some hints to literary work
ers that are worth printing. The letter
was written to a young author who h d
asked Mr.. Bancroft the secret Of his long
life. Ia the course of this letter the his
torian slys:
Writing at night and sometimes into
the early hours OF the morning is very in
iurious. I have tried it and become con-
WINGED. Ny practice is TO work slowly,
but to accomplish something every day. /
very seldom average more than 300 words
day, and few letter., and this is gene
rally done before O'Clock in the morn
ing. Ten o'clock every evening finds me
in bed, and O'Clock each morning | am at
my desk. No man whose profession or
duties demand considerable mental work
should allow himselfless than seven hours
sleep, and if he occasionally takes eight
or nine the overdose will have no serious
effect. There are persons | know, who will
tell YOU that they can, and haze, performed
what seemed to them their best work by
gas or lamplight. Why do they say SO?
Simply because they have never tasted the
sweets Of the early morning hours. No
one can understand the inspiration which
the first hours of the morning bring to his
literary work until he has been under its
influence. What outdoor exercise do l
recommend? Healthy exercise OF al kinds.
With me the saddle is a source Of the most
thorough delight, and to my daily indul.
gence of long-distance gallOp I attribute
much of the good health which allows me
to perform my work with a clear brain and
a steady hand"
Why will Mark Twain persist in wearing
his success 50 uDgracefully? Few authors
owe the public so much as does he, and
vet the simp est request will evoke a chur-
lish answer OF a grOwl. l saw an instance
few days ago A young New England
boy conceived the idea of sending SIX cards
fastened together 10 as many authors The
boy sent mis- little miniature album 10 DR..
Holmes with Ieques. that he write "a
sentiment and an autograph" and pass the
little book 10 the next in the list OF SIX
names given aud that each OF the su5se-
quent ones please de the same" The
