ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
AUTUMN WOODS.

No sound but the beechnuts falling
Through the green and the yellow leaves
And the rainy west wind calling
The swallows from the caves.
No fading trees are shedding
Their golden srlendor yet;
But a sunset CLEAN Is spreading,
That seems like IA regret.
And the crimson breasted birdie
Sings his sweet funereal hymn
On the oak tree, grim and sturdy,
In the twilight gathering dim.
Death comes to pomp and glory
They fade-the sunny hours
And races old in story
Pass like the summer flowers.

There is not a single feature of Jap
anese woman life but appears more OBJ
jectionable and, like the laws affect
ing women generally, the code Of Jap
anese female etiquette requires radical
revision. Take that nasty practice of
blackening the teeth, the sign of
married lady. Of course, there are
numbers Of late years who have adopt
ed European fashions, the wives and
daughters mostly of japanese who
have become induced with Occidental
ideas, or of men educated abroad or
having travled in Europe. These
have given it up; but in the cases of
the vast majority of young girls, no

PunctualitY.

Punctuality, the habit Of habits to
cultivate, stamps persons character,
affecting social life, business life, home
life, life of every day in all its phases.
Of how many men and women can
you say, if they make an appointment,
you are sure of their being in the place,
on the spot where they have agreed to
be, on the moment or near it? If an
entertainment is given where to be on
the hour is especially desired, they
will be found, when expected? If an
honorable position is accepted by them
in some society or organization, involv-
ing periodical attention to certain du-
ties, they will be on the spot, prepared
to do what they have undertaken ?
If the truth were told, of very few in
deed can this be said. More are like
the Irishman's flea you put your fin
ger on him and he isn't there; or, like
the son in the parable who said he
would 60 and went not. A great
many people are like that son. Yet
it is very bad manners to fail in these
particulars. Indeed nothing is so real
ly unworthy of gentle breeding as the
habit of always being late. One is re-
minded of the absurd conundrum:
"When is a man not a man? When
he is little behind-hand."
The complications brought about by
unpunctual people in society, are num-
berless. They are not only continual
ly at serious disadvantage themselves
but rob those who are compelled to
wait for them of golden minutes or
hours and bring about all sorts and
kinds of Inconvenience to others.
When everything has gone wrong
in consequence of their delay, it is
curious fact that they are often as Sc
rene and unconcerned as if their own
actions had not brought about the un-
fortunate results. Many of these are
"happy-go-lucky" people, or who and
whose serenity, the balance of the un-
happy go-lucky people have to make
up.

THE STREET RAILWAYS.
Rumors of Deals With a View to Con

soiluatiOu Oh tne ROADS.
Several attempts have been made by parties
TO purchase q controlling interest in the street
railways OF the city for the purpose Of consoli-
dating them under one management Re-
Gently, men claiming TO represent wealthy
syndicate, have been in the city examining into
the condition Of the various railroad proper
ties with the view, so they claimed Of making
an offer for a majority Of the stock. IL is sup
posed that il was the intention OF the capital
lists to do what has been done in Philadelphia,
Baltimore and other cities where all, or
nearly all the street railroads are controlled by
one company. The Washington and George
town the Metropolitan, the Belt Line aud the
Columbia roads are the properties that were 70
operating expenses would be much
less under single management
than under several as at present II would
largely reduce the real estate holders OF the
several companies aud in other respects the

from this syndicate and IL IL thought
that perhaps they have found that money 10
not so available il used to be. Anyhow il in
not known whether they meant business or
not. and il is by no means certain II they did
that they would be able TO secure q majority OF
the stock Of these roads. The presence OF
these men in the city. however, has led 70 .
good deal Of talk in financial circles and has
even given rise to rumors that some of the
railroads have been actually sold. IL Was
stated today in the street that a controlling in
terest in the Belt Liue had been sold. This
rumor, however, was promptly denied by the
directory OF that road. Mr.. George E. Lemon
and three associated with him in the purchase
Of a controlling interest IN the road which vas
made about year ago was said TO have parted
with their holdings, but this is denied from aa
authoritative source.
