1t is curious to note that the bad com.
pliment proper, in its elementary form.
constitutes the lowest and most rudimeu
tary development of humur. It has been
said that this faculty, the sense or percep-
ton of humor, is the only real mental or
moral attribute which distinguishes the
rich from the Door, and is the only pleas
ure which the lowly BORN are incapable OF
sharing in some degree or other with those
above them in the social scale; but they
undoubtedly ave a consciousness of the
ridiculous, apt to be tickled by the appro-
priately mal-apropos. That this should
take the coarser and more direct form of
epithet-not by any means necessarily i'll
natured-with the uneducated, is but what
one would have expected.
MOI is it to be wondered at that these IN
complimentary comparisons should be
chiefly drawn from the animal world, see.
ing how constantly we are brought into
contac with the lower orders Of creation,
and how much stronger are the impress
sions which we derive from them than
from any association Of inanimate objects.
Here, possibly, may be some relic of totem
ism handed down from savage ancestry,
for In every human breast there exists a
yearning toward symbolism in some shape
or form, from the cultured appreciation Of
the tropes and SMILES of poetry, down to
the rough conceits heard at the Zoo on a
bank ~holidaY.-An the Year Round.

Increase in shop Force.

-Tr"-rr- " .
There has been a small increase OF force
in the Union Pacific shops at Salt Lake
and Pocatello, but the reports as to a large
increase of men at this city, Cheyenne or
any other shops are premature. The con,
dition OF affairs on the road has not been
canVsssed by the general officers and until
it is nc arrangements will be made as to
any particular shops on the line. Super,
intendent Mcconnell has Just returned
from a trip over the road and in all prob
ability will confer with the general officers
as to what will be necessary to do. No in
formation has been given out on which
to base the reports of large accessions of

A MIDNIGHT LUNCH.
A Translation oI Restaurant Waiter

Three reporters we're taking lunch at a
city restaurant last evening. One of them
ordered bali a dozen raw oysters. six

few moments the oysters were served.
Alter lunch the reporters asked if there
was a slang name for everything. Pretty

are some things that are not named. A
half stew is six in the milk, and a full
stew is a drunken man. Why do we
call it that? Why, when a man is drunk
he is iull, isn't he? Oatmeal and milk is

People Who Never Go to the Box ONCE.
you have no idea" said a downtown
man, "how many theatre goers never go
near a box office to buy tickets. There was
a time when every man bought his own
ticket. But Of late years press of business
has broken up the long line which used to
stretch from the window OF the ticket
seller clear across the street. Now there
are men who furnish tickets to the best
paying theatre goers of the city. know
one man who has an office down town who
sells between 500 and $500 worth of tickets
every day, and when there is an opera
season or an extra attraction his receipts
are larger. OF course he has the sanction
of the leading houses, which furnish him
so many seats a day. He knows his Gus
toners, and they are people who want the
best there is in the house.
He makes selections himself, and his
patrons never complain. He knows the
coming attractions of course in advance OF
the average goer, and notifies his patrons
of the dates of the same, asking how many
tickets will be wanted, and for what
nights. When he receives answers, If they
are favorable, he selects the seats, and
sends the tickets by mail. The transaction
Is strictly commercial. At the end of thir.
ty days he sends his bill for tickets fur
nished. and gets his remittances promptly
The people who p~atronize him pay more
for their seats than they would at the box
office, but they are willing to pay extra for
the comfort of being served. This extra ia
h compensation of the broker. 1t has
become a thriving business with him
