Pretty Girls in Cages,

One of the pretty sights in the
Treasury is fifteen or twenty handsome
ladies in cages. Pretty women are not
so scarce in the department that when
they get hold of one they put her in
cage, but the ladies referred to oc,
cupy their little prisons in accordance
with an old custom. The Comptroller
of the Currency has decided to revive
a system in vogue some years ago by
putting safeguard around the coun-
ters of money and isolating them in
little iron cages. They are put in
their prisons in the morning, large
piles of notes are given them, and
there they sit all day long counting
the currency as fast as their fingers
can move. The only communication
the ladies have with any one outside
of their cages is through speaking
tube connecting them with the Chief
of the Bureau. The ladies', naturally,
don't take to this arrangement very kind

A CuriOus ODtical Illusion.

A very striking optical illusion oc.
cured to an author while engaged in
writing. He was seated at a table,
with two candles before him, when
uIon directing his eyes to them, he was
surprised to observe, apparently among
his hair, and nearly straight above his
head, but far without the range of WIS.,
ION, distinct image of one of the can
dies. The image was as perfect as if
1t had been formed by reflection from
piece OF mirror glass; but where the
rejecting surface was he could not at
first discover. He examined his eve
brows and eyelashes, but in vain. Al
length a lady tried her skill, and after
a careful search she perceived between
two eyelashes, very minute speck
which, ON being removed, turned out
to be chip of red wax, highly pol
ished, which was the real mirror on the
occasion, and which had probably
started into his eye when he was break
ing the seal of letter, only a short
time before he observed the phenome'

1t was excellent advice / saw lately
given to young ladies urging them to
marry only gentlemen or not marry at
all. A true gentleman IS generous
and unselfsh. He regards another's
happiness and welfare as well as his
own. You will see the trait running
through all his actions. A man who is
bear at home among his sisters and
discourteous to his mother is just the
man to avoid when you come to the
great question which is to be answered
yes or no. You need not die old maids.
But wait until the prince passes by.
No harm in delay.
You will not be apt to find him in
the ballroom. Nor is he champion
billiard player. He has not had time
to become a champion" for he has
had too much honest, earnest work to
do in the world. 1 have always OBJ
served that these champions" were
seldom good for much else.
Be wary in choosing, girls, when so
much is at stake. Do not mistake q
passing fancy for undying love. Mar
rying in haste rarely ends we'll. Do
not resent too much the interference
of your parents. You will travel long
and far in this world before you will
find any one who has your true inter
est at heart more than your father and
mother. r.-Philddelphid Record.

The Artist Was Crushed.

Sometimes the lowest worm will
turn. This was demonstrated when
Jacob Pfalsgraff went into Grand
street barber shop yesterday to have
his hair cut. The barber ran his fingers
through the victims scant locks and,
after viewing them with critics eye,
asked with the usual scorn:
"Who cut that hair last"
Mr.. Pfalsgraff was mad clear
through in minute, and rel lied:

who cud dot hair der last dime, ofer
who cuds him der first dime, neider. /

The barber was crushed pd could
only find words to ask:
"How will You have it cut ?"
"Yoost like you cuds him der last
dime"
1t was at this instant that the bar
ber recognized in Mr. Pfalsgraff a for
mer customer, and the words fell on

rinced vessel-owner and ex-master yester-
day. THE lake steamer is SO far the
stronger and better of the two in every
respect that comparison is out of the ques-
tion. This refers alike to the sailing ves-
sci and the steamship. OF the former l
will relate an incident which will bear me
out in tho assertion.
"In the fall of rs the schooner Pamlico
cleared this port for Liverpool with q
cargo of grain. She was o regular lake

which ever was shipped direct, and the
first American bottom the Canadian Gov.

of a westerly gale. She was q typical

water line, and of little draft. Well, sir,
she got the weather good and hard. She
lost one Of her spars, aud her canvas was
torn into shreds. To make long story
short, she was driven before the westerly
gales for six weeks, disabled and without

OF population he ls known as Il bum" and
conducts himself in wav to fairly entitle
him to the rather vulgar but suggestive
appelation.
Although the city life of the tramp varies
greatly from his normal state of existence,
still there Is one rule of his life from which
he never departs-under no circumstances
does he seek any regular employment. As
a cGser for begging or petty thieving, he
may tearfully ask for work. but with no in
tention of performing it if afforded an op-
portunity. Sometimes he is seen clearing
away the snow from steps and sidewalks s.
and occasionally actually carrying in n ton
of coal. But to be brought to this he must
be in pressing need of money. or. VIII at is

spect. which draws the line at all forms oil

This is the stereotyped appeal most fire.
quently made. 1t is the one most likely to
develop sympathy, especially on cold or
stormy evening. and, besides, n lodging
place is the one great necessity of his ex-
ist"nce. He can beg plenty of food and
clothing, and find numerous places to warm
himself during the day, but when night
comes on he must find a place to sleep. and
that which for half year has been as free
as the boundless air and the water in pur-
ing brooks, becomes the one anxiety of his
othe wise light-hearted existence.
In some cities there are lodging-h ouses
where bed. or rather II board, Is supplied
on basis of work to be perl ormed in the
mornin-. These are rarely patronized by
the professional tramp; but to see them Mt

signed them. or breaking stones for paving.

All large cities abound in cheap lodging
houses, which are generally operated on
basis of ten cents for the cheapest accom-

When survey was held on the Pim-
lico, to ascertain what strain and wear
she had sustained in her six-weeks' ordeal,
she showed up as sound and as tight as
she was the day she was launched. A
regular ocean sailor, warrant, would
never have weathered that storm as she
did.
why, there is not bottom ON these
lakes but will drown an ocean vessel in a
storm. 1 would consider myself safer
aboard the Owego, the Chemung, Sus.
quehanna, or dozen other vessels
could name, in storm on the Atlantic
than l would on any of the big ocean,
liners. They are more buoyant. They
have not got twenty six or twenty eight
feet of hull under water. They rise up
with the swell and ride it out. The seas
would not mount them and sweep every
thing off the decks. Their lifting power
is greater and their displacement less.
hold, too, that all gales on these lake
are great deal more severe than on the
ocean, and that our shipping passes as
severe tests as any in the world. The
seas here are shorter and more choppy.
The heavy, short, breaking sea is the
dangerous one.
And, then, look at the rapid strides

ship builders on the lakes, with varying
notifications.
The fast freight and passenger boats
of Long Island Sound, with their tower
ing double and treble tiers of saloons and
deck houses, the shallow-drafted, broad
bottomed boats for trade with the barred
harbors and in the shallow rivers of the
South, the deep-dr lfted ocean carriers,
with their freeboard OF the Atlantic, and
the fire lighters and passenger steamers of
the great lakes, represent to an unmis-
taxable degree opposing types, the con-
struction of which involves varying dis
tlibution of proportions and materials.

Once there he undergoes decided
