California Politeness.

Here is story of California polite
ness, from the Monterey WdUe, which
is instinct with moral, and has the
peculiar characteristic of truth. An
English baritone, finding himself in
San Francisco, took advantage of a
letter of introduction to call on a we'll
known business man. He was cordial
ly received, and asked to dine at the
home of the gentleman in Oakland the
following Sunday. He went. was in
troduced to the wife and guests, and
presently found himself seated at din
ner. The conversation languished, and
in the midst of pause. the hostess
politely and mildly demanded:
''And, Mr.. Baritone, what is your
business?"
Il am a vocalist" responded the
singer.
"a singer! I'd rather man were
anything than that"
The vocalist began to think suspi-
ciously of California manners; his
suspicious were confirmed. The hostess
poured upon him the continual dew of
similar blessings. He bore it all until
the host asked the amiable lady to drive
the confding vocalist round Oakland to
see the sights. She replied: "No; do
it yourself-I don't care tor
please do not trouble yourself. I
have Just two minutes time to get the
train for the ferry" and the accom-
plished vocalist departed, and that
house knew him no more.

ABOUT BEING DROWNED.
'Tis Very Unpleasant at First, but After
ward Becomes a Delicious Sensation.

I'm one sense at least said the
hero to the Detroit Free Press man. as
the others gathered around him, Il
may be said to have died and now have
come to life again"
How was that?"
why, last season, while out yacht
ing, l was spilled into the river, and
went down for good, but at the last
stored 20 earth"
How does it feel to get drowned?"
asked one of the party.
Boys, it is the strangest sort of feel

life, | am at loss for comparison.
went down, of course. three times,
the way all drowning people do. The
first time | went down l had no
thought of death. simply of life, for
which l struggled with all my strength.
But no help came, and as l saw the
shore fade from my view as the water
closed over my head a sudden transi-
ton in thought and feeling came over
me. In flash 1 realized that 1 was
doomed. that my hour had come and
that wide and illimitable future
would momentarily be revealed to me.
Then began the struggle of mind and
body against the elements. l must

to die. My life had been so short and
so much remained unfulfilled. In one
great and overpowering flood of feel
ing there suddenly rushed over me all
my deeds of other days, all the wrong
l had ever done, all the evil of my life,
and all the shortcomings, failings and
weakness of my past career. 1t seemed
to me that l stood before some terrible
bar of justice and was Just about to be
condemned to eternal punishment. A
dreadful noise of waters filled my ears,
translated in my frenzy, to demons
bounding me to death. Great streaks
of red and blue light flashed before
my eyes, and everything took on the
hue of death. Then came a sudden
transition from the horrible to the
ecstatic. The waves became soft as
downy pillows; the noises in my ears
were changed to delicious, sleep-inspir
ing harmonies while my thoughts them
selves became sweet and soothing
as in some vague, enchanting dream.
The numbness that stole so softly over
my senses was the dull, cold touch of
death: but to me it was also the full
ness and the ecstacy of life. When l
was finally resuscitated, they told me
that l had been down seven minutes,
and that even the bravest among them
had given up hope. But l am this

An Immense Monolith.

Vinalhaven, Me-, claims to have pro-
duced the largest stone ever brought
to light. The Bodwell Granite Com
pany recently quarried a shaft of
granite which is the largest piece of
stone ever quarried anywhere, and, if
erected, will be the highest, largest and
heaviest single piece of solid stone
standing, or that ever stood, so far as
any record can be found. In height,
it considerably exceeds any of the
Egyptian obelisks. The tallest of
these, which was brought from He'll
opolis to Alexandria by Emperor Con-
stantine, and afterward taken to Rome,
where it is still standing, is 105 feet
high, while the Vinalhaven shaft is 115
feet long, 10 feet square at the base,
and weighs $50 tons. 1t is understood
that the company quarried this i'm
mense monolith on their own account,
not having an order for anything of the
kind, and they suggest that it would be
fitting contribution from Maine for
the monument to be erected in honor
of General Grant.

The Girl Who Knows Everything.

Naturally it isn't you or your friend;
but you certainly know her, and just
as certainly you dislike her. When
you dislike people there is one thing
you should always do, and that is
look well at their faults and make up
your mind that you are not going to
fall into them. This girl, who is quite
too general to be pleasant, is the girl
who, having learned something yester-
day, knows everything. She makes
herself obnoxious by Haunting recently
acquired knowledge, concluding al
ways that the people who are quiet,
are ignorant; she has no hesitancy in
contradicting anybody; she makes an
entire luncheon disagreeable by giving
her opinion on the last pronunciations,
forgetting that custom makes many
things correct, of which the dictionary
has no mention.
She is more than certain as to dates;
she can tell you exactly what you
ought to do, and she fails herself to see
that she is living example of how dis
agreeable one person can be. Young
men dread her, old ones have the ut
most contempt for her; she tosses her
head, says she doesn't care for the
opinion of men. Well, she is losing
her womanliness when she feels that
way. Every girl ought to care for the
opinion of men. She has her father to
look up to, her brothers to be an in
spiration to, and some day, please
God, she ought to marry one and make
him happy for life. The girl who
knows everything is seldom cultivated
either in mind or manner: she throws
out her bit of information as a naughty
boy would throw bricks, and the one
fired is always the one just gotten.
My dear. don't get into the habit of
concluding that the world at large IS
ignorant Instead, make up your
mind that it can teach you much; in
telEigence is never lost. Even if abso-
lutte information is not given by the in
telligent woman, the look of cultiva-
ton shows in her eyes. Contradiction
and ignorance are the combination
that forms the knowing girl, and as
you love everything good and good
hammered, beware of drifting into be-
ing this type of girl.-Lodies' Home

HOLIDAYS IN AUSTRALIA.
The People of That Far-OH Land Take
Things Easily.

The easy-going methods of business
life in Australia, which is one of the
things that most forcibly impress the
American visitor, is in no way better
illustrated than in the great number of
holidays with which the colonists in
dulge themselves, says a letter from
Melbourne to the Boston Journal.
How many dies non there are in the
Australian commercial calendar l can
not at the moment say, through want
of ready reference, but my impression
is that they average one a week the
year round. This is certainly not an
extravagant estimate if we consider
not only the days appointed for public
festivity, but also those that are set
aside by various guilds and trades.
The butchers, the bakers, and the can
dlestick- makers, this manufactory and
that wholesale warehouse, all have at
least one day of special jubilation in
addition to those legally set aside by a
liberal and paternal government. If
we connt the days that are in part or
wholly wasted in preparation for these
celebrations and in recovery there
from, the total would be something
startling.
1 went into my tailor's the other day
to inquire why suit that had been
promised a week before was not vet
delivered. when we took your or
der" said the head cutter blandly, I'VE
quite forgot that Thursday was the
tailor's picnic AS the day was then
the Monday following l could not see
what bearing this observation had on
the case. The head cutter was much
surprised when l expressed this opin-
ion: "Ah, well,n said he, you see
the men have not got back to work yet.
They make rather merry at the picnic,
of course, and are apt to keep it up
when they get home, and we never ex-
pect to see much of them until after
Sunday-Saturday afternoon being a
regular half-holiday anyhow, don't
you know. However, we shall proba-
bly, send home your order by Wednes-
day" One gets used to this sort of
thing in Australia.
Besides these occasional and fugitive
holidays in which certain classified
bodies of individuals participate, there
occur at least twice in the year con-
tinued series of festivities which con-
sumo a week or two each-at Christmas
and Easter. At Christmas the Mel
bourne stock exchange adjourns for a
fortnight; many large manufactories
entirely suspend operations for ten
days; the banks are closed and the
postofiice is only open at brief and un-
certain hours for IA week; everybody
who can save, beg or borrow, or other
wise gain possession of sufficient money
for the purpose goes into the country,
or to the races, which, like the poor,
are always with us.~of Australia, and
Melbourne is in aspect of desertior
like city stricken with the plague
The Easter season brings similar phe'
nomena to light. Closing on Thurs
day night, no bank, warehouse, or of.
flee opened until the Wednesday fol
lowing. Every train was packed tc
suffocation either with people goins
from Melbourne into the country Of
coming from the country into Mel
bourne, all seeking change and fyins
as rapidly as might be to scenes tina
were unfamiliar in that pursuit.
