Tho Bad Compliment.

1t is curious to note that the bad com
plimcnt proper, in its elementary form,
constitutes the lowest and most rudimen.
tary development of humor 1t 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 poor, and is the only pleas
urc which the lowly born are incapable of
sharing in some degree or other with those
above them in the social scale; but they
undoubtedly have a consciousness of the
ridiculous, apt to be tickled by the appro-
pratcly malapropos. That this should
take the COarser and more direct form of
epithet-not by any means necessarily i'll
natured with the uueducated, is but what
one would have expected.
Nor is it TO be wondered at that these I'M
complimentary comparisons should be
chiefly drawn from the animal world, see
ing how constantly we are brought into
contact with the lower orders of creation,
and how much stronger are the impress
sions which we Ncriye from them than
from any association Of inanimate objects
Here, possibly, may be some relic of totem
ism handed down from Il savage ancestry
for in every human breast there exists n
ycarning toward symbolism in some shape
or form, from the cultured appreciation of
the tropes and SMILES Of poetry down to

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as no. requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass oil, and it. is only
when a case of iull-hedged sickness de-
vclops Itself that the consequences of
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first

tract Of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for

1 Cruel Process,

An applicant for admission to "A secret so

Scarcely a Department That
Has Sufficient Room.

Crowded So AS to he Uncomfortable, I'm
Made to Protect Valuable Records
Which Are Without any Protection
whatever-D Damage a Fire Might DO.
WASHINGTON, March 90 Congress
has appropriated $4,000 rent for the
general land Office and $4,000 for a
temporary local posioflice n Washing
ton These appropriations have eau ed
a h mt for quarters which will have to
combine a1odern Improvements with
other extraordinary facilities required
by the government, but as the United
States is only tenant by lease. from
one year to another, it is no easy matter
to get suitable buildings,
The extent to which the practice Of
renting for government purposes is car
ried on in Washington is great piece
OF bad and wasteful management.
There is scarcely department that is
not 80 crowded as TO be uncomfortable
and in some cases positively unhealthy
and dangerous The need of additional
public building facilities at the National
capital has been apparent for years, yet
congress keeps on temporizng and pay
ing large outside rents, while the situa-
tion grows worse as the business of the
government increases with the growth
of the country. A new public building
as large as the war, state and navy de-
partments could be filled ut once with
the outlying divisions now paying tri-
butte to private investors, and the gov
eminent by this means would save
enough in rents to pay for the outlay IN
less than ten years.
After tremendous effort by local cit
liens and public officials, and only when
the condition Of the Washington post
office had become public scandal an
appropriation was made for new lui d.
ing. Its construction will take time,
however, and tenn olary provision has
to be made in the meantime, the present
quarters being wholly Inadequate.

shamefully unprotected, A fire in any

People Who Never Go to the Box Office.
"You have 10 idea," said downtown
man, chow many theatre goers never go
near 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 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 patronize 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 is
the compensation of the broker. 1t has
become a thriving business with him. -

The Buttons on the Back of a Coat.

An American missionary was once labor
ing with much learned argument to con
vert Chnamau, but found himself non
plu~scd when the listener retOrted: you
are a profound scholar, you know every
thing Tell me, then, why you wear those
two superluous buttons on the back of
your coat" Whether the Chinaman re
ceiyed a satisfactory answer to his query or
not will probably never he known; but one
thing is certain, it set Investigators to
work, and it has since been ascertained
that the two buttons are the survival of a
semi blrbaric custom, and that they were
originally scwcd ON to hold up a belt at a
time when every gentleman wore a sword.
