The Odd idea That Rough Man Hsd Of

The Odd idea That . Rough Man HAD Of
Propriety. ftt
''You would hardly believe what silly
ideas some rough. uneducated men have
about propriety," said nurse TO New
York Tribune man. as she smoothed
out the pillow and rearranged the bed
covers with 4 gentleness and dcxteri-
" that recalled 10 the patient the min
istering hand Of mother TO a sick boy.
II recollect nursing Q big 1ongshore-
man when I was In the hospital who
had an idea Of chivalry which, mistaken
and nonsensical though II was, yet was
refreshing In one Of his class. He had
been In some drunken fight In low
grog-shop near the river, and had re-
ceived Q number of bad wounds. His
antagonist had cut right for his heart.
and had made three or four gaping
slashes In his chest.
''The injured man was one Of the
bestrbuilt men I ever saw, and II his
chest had not been padded with thick
muscles he would have been murdered
outright. As II was he was In critical
condition, and only the best care and
treatment could save his life. The sur
geons dressed his wounds the first few
days and then turned the task over to
me. | went up TO the patient, whose
name was jackson, the next day, and
began TO lay back the covers Of the bed.
"'What are you doing?' he asked.
81 am going to dress your wounds,
I answered
"'You-a ladyr he said In astonish-
ment.
"'0f course; come, no nonsense
went on, for he had grasped the cover
In his weak hands and was trying 10
prevent my laying u back. l tried TO
argue with him, but he blushed and
said doggedly that he wouldn't let q
lady dress his wounds. l told him he
would die II he didn't let me take care
Of him, but he said he didn't care II he
did, SO l had TO send for surgeon.
After several days the patient was per-
suaded 10 let me dress the wounds, but
he turned crimson when he barred his
chest for me, although he had 10 expose
little more than society woman does
when she wears ball gown. Well,
the 'longshoreman got well, and since
then ] have been convinced that the
cosrsest men are not without instincts
OF gentility."

Is lowered into the sea, within o few

hat the Annual Reports Show Concern
Ing One Giant Corporation.
The annual reports of the great rail
road corporations in the United States
are interesting documents Whoever
reads them will not fail to be impressed
with the vast wealth and power of
these corporations The annual report
of the New York Central ~ Hudson
River Railroad Co. for the year ended
June 30, 1891, shows that that corpor-
alton is now operating two thousand
three hundred and twenty miles of road
in New York and Pennsylvania. Its
income from its freight traffic was over
twcnty-one millions of dollars, from
its passenger traffic nearly twelve mil
lions, and its total income was n trifie
less than thirty-cight millions. Its ex-
pcnses were less than twenty-six mil
lions of dollars, leaving over twelve
millions to pay its dividends, the in
terest on its bonded debt and other out
lays. The total number of its en-
ployes is twenty-five thousand eight
hundred and ten, whose salaries and
wages for the year amounted to nearly
fifteen millions of dollars.
Here is one railroad corporation that
employs moro men than the United
States government employed in civil
offices during President Jackson's ad-
ministration, and whose income and
expenditures exceed those of any ad-
ministration Except that part of Madi-
sons administration including the war
of 1922 prior to the Mexican war. 1t
is estimated that the aggregate volume
of business transacted by all the rail-
roads in the United States exceeds in
tonnage, in receipts and in expendi-
lures that Of any government on the
face Of the earth. The private enter
prise in this country, which is exhibited
not only by the railroads, but also by
the telegraphs and the newspapers, is,
in fact, beginning to dwarf the execu-
tive achievements of the most renowned
despotisms of the old world-N. Y.

A SHREWO TRICK,
How Letters Are Examined BY Post ONCE |
Thieves.


Thieves.
Do you see this letter, torn here in
the middle of this side? What do YOU
suppose did it? Done by the string
that is used to tie up the bundle Of let
ters in the mail bag? That is what al
most everyone thinks, but it isn't the
fact. 1t is done by post Office thieves
! got that straight from the postmaster
of a large city not very far from here.
1t is shrewd trick to deceive the man
who receives the letter He knows
that after the letters have been collect
ed at the Office they are put through
the stamping machine, which cancels
the stamp and prints the postmark at
the same time. Then they are sorted
out according to their destination, and
all those going to the same place are
tied up in one bundle They have a
peculiar way of tying them, used at all
post offices. They use rather fine
string, and it is put around the bundle
twice, once around the side and once
around the end The letters are not
all Of the same size. Some are longer
than others, and some are in square en-
velopes, while others are in the old
fashioned long envelopes This being
so, it follows that if the string IS drawn
tight, as it must be to hold the letters
together, some of the larger letters
will be cut on the side or end by the
string. Tie post Office thieves know
this as we'll as any one else, and so
when they wish to find ont if there is
any money in an envelope they simply
| tear il little on the side or the end.
Almost any postmaster considers ii a
favor if man getting such letter
will take il 70 him. They always make
an eudeavor to trace such letters, and
then watch if other letters coming over
: he same route are torn in the same
way. You can usually tell whether
the letter was really torn by the string
or by hand, for the string will wear
and fra the edges before il cuts into
/ the letter itSelf.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
I ocrat.

Cloth lSo,liCes.

In bodices there is rs much variation
as ever. Those for evening are made
very low cut, while the extremely long
sleeves are still favored. Cloth bodices
will remain quite long, but rarely with
launches or fulled-ou pieces, the lower
edge being slashed. turreted, or in
rounding points. A popular novelty
in the way of bodice is given in an
illustration. 1t is suited to plain or
fancy cloth, and is trimmed with braid
1t is tight-htting, and is fastened in
visibly up the 'front.' while the back is
in swallow-tail coat shape. All the
seams are finished with braidiug The
coat sleeves are raised high on the
shoulders, and the collar band is in
military shape. Prank Leslie's Week

His purchase was always little carna-

played out for perfume. But what
