Testing Bnukers' Clerks.

Many large banking and business
houses make it II prtctice to "test"
their employees holding responsible
positions every year or two. These
tests are made in the following man.
ner: Jones, Smith & CO., bankers, call
on the principal of a detective agency
and arrange to have all their employees
"tested." The start is made, say,
with their cashier. When he leaves
his house in the morning for the Office
he is taken up" by the shadow"
and only left when he reaches the
office. The shadow is on hand again
at noon, and sees him to lunch and
safe back to the Office. The indefatig-
able shadow is ready for him again II
the close OF business hours, and then
does not lose sight OF him until he re-
tires for the night. By this means the
shadow can account for every minute
OF his mans time, OF course, If the
man should drop" the shadow is
withdrawn. The test is continued
from three days to week generally,
but where there is any cause for sus-
piciou IL is kept up much longer.
These tests give the employer a thor
ough knowledge of all the habits and
associations OF his employees, and have
frequently proved of inestimable
value. -Philadelphia Inquirer.

The PhiIadelphia Girl.

The Philadelphia maiden is sui gen /.
eris. She is as unlike her New Yora
sister as a pretty dove or blackbird
is unlike a gorgeous cockatoo. She is
nothing If not demure, correct lady
like. In her street costume particu-
larry she is simplicity itself--the touch
of the Quaker haGgs round her still.
She has a penchant for black at all
times and in all seasons, but this sea-
son the penchant has developed into a
positive craze. 1t amounts to livery
or to the habit OF an order covering the
entire area of fashions quarter.
Straight black skirt, with long loosely
tied silk sash, black fur shoulder cape,
black hat, with black wings or black
bird entire. There she is, every
mothers daughter OF her, and very
pretty, graceful and stylish she is, too
IA little monotonous perhaps, but, que
voulez-vous?-New York Herald.

The Indiany Sprucing Up.

The FLUTES living in the vicinity, say
the Virginia City Enterprise, appeal
to be improving in the ways OF civiliza-
ton. They certainly dress much bet
ter than In former times. More we'll
and comfortably dressed Indians are
now to be seen in and about this city
than ever before. In one way and
another they earned a considerable
amount of money last summer (many
of them went over to California in the
hop-picking season) and they appear
to have invested the greater portion OF
it in clothing and blankets. The
squaws wear decent calico dresses, and
are always ready to spend money in
buying shoes and stockings for their
children particularly the little girls.

A MAN CAN'T DO THEM.
Good Enough for Some Things but
Not for Others.

Not for Others.
There Ia always something oomical
!! about man attempt to do woroan's
work: And the fun Of the thing Is,
that man never realizes that he can:
not do it properly. There isn't d mag
on the footstool who does not privately
entertain the opinion that II he should
only set himself about it, he could do
anything better than any woman. But
ne can't, and all the women know 10.
He means well, no doubt but some
how he doesn't seem to have the
faculty.
His wife goes on visit to her moth
sri and he keeps house! Now. he will
| tell Brown that he can cook meal as
well as the best woman that ever
lived; But If he should see Brown and
some Of the boys coming up to his
house, to dinuer he would bolt the
door and lie low till they went away:
He never can touch a kettle without
getting soiled. He can't hindle the
tire-irons without burning his fingers.
He never thinks to hang up any towels;
he keeps them on the floor where they
will be handy. A man cannot do two
things at time. A woman will broil
q steak, and see that the coffee does
not boil over, and watch the cat that
she does not steal the remnant of meat
on the kitchen table, and dress the
youngest boy, and set the table, and
see to the toast, and stir the oatmeal,
and give orders to the butcher, and
witness the way her neighbor is hang
ing out her elothes-and she can do 1t
all at once and not half try.
Is there a man living who can hold
fifteen pins in his mouth, and fit a
dress waist, and talk over the sea ndal
about the new minister at the same
time? OF course there is not, and yet
a woman can do 1t easily, and enjoy 1t,
too.
A man will work diligently half the
forenoon to find shirt button, and
when he has found it, it will be three
Sizes too large for the button-hole,
and then he will begin to thread his
needle. And he will squint, and take
aim, and sweat, and swear, and the
thread will slip right by the needle
every time, and if he ever does &c. the
needle threaded IL will be such a big
needle that it will split the button clean
in two, and he will find himself exactly
where he started from.
Man has done wonders since he cams
before the public. He has navigated
the ocean, he has penetrated the mys-
teries of the starry heavens, he has
harhessed the lightning and made it
pull street cars, and light the gre t
cities of the world. Oh, yes we are
willing to admit that man has done his
part, but he couldn't pour castor oil
into a colicky baby without spilling it
all over.the baby's clothes, to save his

congressman az Borrowers.

Speaking of the Shylocks Of Wash.
ingtou, the N. Y. Sun says it is unde-
niable that the federal capital is the
very paradise of money lenders and
usurers, and this arises from the i'm
pending necessities OF the large num-
Der OF government employees who,
either living beyond the limit Of their
salaries or unable to make both ends
meet In supporting and educating large
families, in addition to the vicissttudes
and misiortunes which commonly af-
flict mankind, are constant borrowers
at rates Of interest running from s TO 10
per cent a month. The departments
are infested with usurers preying upon
the clerks and employees. and it Is q
common occurrence to find borrowers
who, from the great exactions of inter-
est, are utterly unable to extinguish
their oblig tons. When failure is
made to pay either interests or prin-
cipal, complaint is made to the chiefs
of bureaus or heads of department.
and while the general rule is not to
permit the departments to become the
collecting agents for creditors. never
theless the unfortunate debtors are
held in tsrrorem and there is always
someone who manages to press their
claims to adjustment Naturally there
is percentage Of persons who never
Intend to pay wha they borrow, either
principal or interest, but that condi.
ton exists everywhere In the marts
and channels OF business. Some Of the
wealthiest men in Washington have
become rich from lending money at
usurious rates OF interest, and many a
finely appointed mansion, with accom-
panying Iiveries, are the products and
represent the gains OF outrageous
uSury.

SCARLET FEVER.

Extreme Care NeCessa airy to Pre-,

In scarlet fever the patient should

on his person one single article use d

the sick room through this time.
Neither should any one liable to in
lection enter his room, until everything
which was there through the illness
has been burned-not cleaned, nor

and the walls repapered, the paint re-
painted, windows and floors scrubbed

mother who has ever seen this dread
disease stalking through the land will
find no vigilance too excessive. The
room should be thoroughly cleansed
and il the mattress has been soiled the
covering can be removed and washed

of fever, and every case OF each sort,
has its peculiar features which need
especial care. In scarlet fever there

DO Hogs Pay?

When the price of pork is as low as
at present many farmers get the idea
that raising hogs does not pay. Let
us look at this question and ascertain,
if we can, whether anything on the
farm p1ys better. One acre OF clover
and one acre OF corn (ifty bushels)
will produce 800 pounds OF pork. This

months, when they ought TO be ready
for market is worth IS, leaving SIG
for the use of two acres Of ground. But
you say there is danger OF cholera aud
other diseases with hogs. That is true.
But the mortality among hogs for the
past twenty years does not exceed 10
per cent. But say it Is double that or
90 per cent. This on $24 would be
