mot Wanted"

For nimble ingenuity in the pursuit of
coin the blue uniformed dispatch boy
cannot be beaten.
Yesterday overheard a conversation
between two of the hopefuls, from which
the company might be able to locate the
many calls that are answered "Not
wanted"
A lady living on Park avenue called
for a messenger boy, and boy No. 4-11-44
was sent out of the office to answer the
call. He reached the house and wastold
by the lady to take a letter which was
given to him way up town. He said that
the tariff would be sixty cents, which
the lady paid, and said that there would
be nc answer.
On the street the boy met No. 5-12-55,
and learning that he was off duty i'm
mediately arranged that 5-12-55 should
deliver the letter. He (4-11-44) would go
back to the Office and report that the call
was q mistake. The sixty cents which
he had received from the lady would be
divided equally between them and the
company would lose that amount OF
money. The thirty cents was duly trans.
ferred to 5-12-55 and with the letter he
went off uptown, while 4-11-44 reported
at the office "Not wanted. New Yorl

The Coming Man.

I imagine that when we look back
from our home in the unseen universe
ages hence we shall see, without much
doubt, a race of men differing from those
of today much as the mar of today diff
fers from his simious, perhaps simian,
ancestors. The brain will be developed
to meet the more complex and serious
taxation of q more complex and trying
civilization; the vital powers will DO in
tcnsified; the man, reducing the powers
of nature still more completely to his
service, will depend less on the exertions
of his muscles, and they will be cores
pondingly and comparatively less pow
erful, though they will probably, never
thcless, l imagine, continue to grow
somewhat i'll size, as they unquestion-
ably have grown since the Middle Ages;
tho lungs must supply aeration to a
larger and more rapidly circulated vol
ume of blood richer in the phosphate
elements especially needed for the build
ing up of brain and nerve; the digestion
must supply its nutriment in similarly
increased amount and altered character
and composition; the whole system must
be capable of more rapid, more thorough
and more manageable conversion of tho
energies of the natural forces to the
uses of the intellect and the soul which
inhabits it.-Professor Thurston in Nortl
American Review.

Value of Hand Reading.

Judgment turned out to be correct after
all, for another sculptor, having under
taken the statue, had to carry his case
into the courts in order to get payment.
One of these hand readers fell in love
with a young and beautiful girl. He be-
came betrothed to her, although there
were some peculiar characteristics in the
shape and touch of her fingers that he
disliked. The matter weighed on his
mind. He was a queer sort of fellow and
plain spoken. MY DEAR" he said to her
one day, "you are a very lovely, estima-

Cinnamon rs Sailors.

At Hong Kong it is hard to get Eng
lish sailors for any sum less than &c 10s.,
or nearly s12, per month. In many
cases shipmasters have been obliged to
pay as high as e5. 1t is quite a common
thing for the white sailors of vessels from
American and European ports to desert
at Hong Kong, Shanghai or Yokohama,
and to replace them shippers have been
compelled to seek native help. This has
given the almond-eyed individuals a
chance to learn seafaring, and they have
succeeded SO we'll that a rough estimate
by an authority OF the subject places the
number of Chinese sailors on vessels in
the Atlantic and Pacific trade ut fully
$1,000. Four-ffths of the number are
rated as A, BIS, or full-ledged sailors.
The remainder are confined to the Hiip's
galley, serving as stewards OF general
bottle washers New York Mail and Ex-

Inside of IA Whales Mouth.

The great Greenland whale has no
teeth, its baleen plates, or whalebone.
taking their place. Along the center of
the palate runs q strong ridge, and ON
each side of this there is q wide depres-
sion, along which the plates are inserted.
These are long and flat, hanging free,
and are placed transversely-that is,
across the mouth, with their sides parallel
and near each other. The base and outer
edge of the plates are of solid whalebonc,
but the inner edges are fringed, filling up
the interior of the mouth and acting as a
strainer for the food, which consists Of
the small swimming mollusks and me-
dusa, or jelly fishes. This whale rarely,
if ever, swallows anything larger than a
herring, shoals of these small creatures
being entangled in the fbers of the ba-
leen, the water which does not escape
from the mouth being expelled by the
blow holes. Though the cavity of this
whales mouth is large enough to contain
a ships long boat, the gullet is notlarger
than a mans fist. The lower jaw has
neither baleen nor teeth, but has large,
fleshy lips, within which the upper is re-
ceivcd when the mouth is closed.-San

rypewritiua in Washington.

UP in our department there is a lady
the daughter of q distinguished general,
now dead-who does a good deal of writ
ing for the cheaper class of magazines,
and always has her manuscripts copied
by one of the typewriters in the depart
ment. One day she took the manuscript
of a short article, written for a well
known woman's magazine, to a young
lady who had recently been appointed as
copyist in the department to have it
transcribed.
The young woman, it seems, had had
some dealings with magazines herself,
and not being troubled withconscientious
scruples, she made two copies of the
article, mailed one to Il periodical to
which she had before sold some matter,
and under some pretext delayed deliver
ing the other one to its author for some
time.
The article was promptly accepted and
q check for it sent to the typewriter.
Then the author of the article mailed it
to the magazine for which she intended
it, and a few days later there was IN eN-
plosion. 1t seems that the typewriter,
as such would have it, had mailed the
stolen matter to the very same editor
that its rightful owner had intended it
for. The offer of acopy of manuscript
which he had already accepted or paid
for actually caused the editor to insti-
tutc an inquiry, which in a very short
time led to an exposure of the fair type
writer's duplicity. She and the author
had an awful row. But the latter
couldn't very we'll lay the matter before
the chief and ask for the girls dismissal,
for of course she had 10 right to have
the matter copied in the Office, and
didn't care about having the fact that
she had exposed. She will, however,
have her manuscript copied elsewhere

Horse Racing in New Zealand,

! A New Zealand paper reports some
thing entirely new in the sporting line.
AT a horse race the course lay acros the
sands at Okaroa bay, and, through de-
lay, the tide rose SO high that the horses
had to swim some distance before the
winning post was reached. The result
was that one of the animals, which
would otherwise have been beaten, came
off victorious, on account of superior
uatatorial powers.
