"Oh. not ut all, sir, must insist"
Under such pressure l could hardly
refuse, and as the car was now APP
proaching Hyde street, where l trans
ferrcd to the cross-town line, took
the three transfers the conductor gave
me, and, confused by the deep inter-
est of the other passengers, now all
eyes and cars, i hastily drew out q
card and, raising my hat, extended it,
with two transfers, to the lady. But it
waa the young girl who. blushing
deeply, took them.

he elbowed his way through the pas
sengers standing in car which was
being drawn swiftly up California
street.
1t was about half-past five O'Clock on
Thursday afternoon that found my
self inside q car filled with men return
ing from business, scattered among
whom was sprinkling of members of
the fairer sex, who, incum bered with
their innumerable purchases and
wrapped up in cloaks, allowed only the
tips of their noses to appear over their
long boas of fur or feathers. 1t was
one of those cold, foggy evenings that
make pedestrians hurry along at top
speed, while the policemen at the
corners of the streets tramp up and
down to keep themselves warm. The
ladies seemed to have great difficulty
in bringing their purses out from their
small muffs or from their deep pockets,
and continuous string of apologies
was offered for involuntary clbowings,
caused by endeavors of their benum bed
hands to obtain hold of the niclkcls for
their fares.
"Why, where is my purse? You
haven't got it, have you, Ethcl?" ex-
claimed a sweet-voiced lady of middle
age, after n hasty search in her mufr
and n lengthy exploration of the mystic
rious depths of her handsome gown.

"Thcn some one must have stolen it.,
or, perhaps, l have left it in some of
the shops-down at the White House,

All eyes were turned in the direction
of the lady who had spoken, and the
conductor began to look very knowing
Haven't you got any money!" he
demanded, in q gruff tone.

contained all the money have about

we cannot but be struck with the
immense antiquity of civilization in
western Asia, whence, as center,
trade, art and literature spread vest
ward to the Greeks and Italians, and
eastward to India and China. The
monuments show us that at least as
early rs $500 i. c. distinct civilizations
existed in Chaldca, in Syria and in
Egypt. 1t is true that the early date
which has been assigned to Menes, by
scholars who reckon thirty years as
the average reign of an Egy ptian mon
arch (whercas the dated reigns often
do not exceed five or siX), rests on no
secure basis, and cxtravagant estimates,
based on equally unsafe Deductions
have been offered by some of our
cunciforln scholars, who would carry
back Akliadian civilization to 1000 Is.
c.; but those eXtravaganciesd do not dis
credit the facts which arc detluccl from
better data, and which show that
even earlier than the period usually as
signed as the time when the pastoral
Hebrew patriarchs found their way
along the Euphrates aa;l through Syria
10 Egypt, there were organized states,
walled towns, char;otj and horses,
riches Of gold and silver, bronze and
iron. OF corn. vino and oil. not Only

Captain Polite, OF the Spartan, Fails to
Get Crew.
Captain Polite. OF the ship Spartan. failed to
secure q crew Wednesday owing 10 what he
considers an unfair demand on the part OF the
sesmen. They demanded wages al the rate of
$40 per month until the vessel 10 ready for sea,
and then SO for the trip 20 san Francisco. The
custom heretofore has been 10 hire ~ the rate OF
$40 per month for the round trip. but the sea-
men refuse 20 sign on those conditions now.
claiming that when they reach san Francisco
the captain viii conduct himself in q manner
intolersble TO them, in order 10 force them
70 90 ashore: and then when he gets
ready TO come back ship another crew.
IL 10 not the union which is responsible for the
action, a. Agent Dshlauist ruled that the local
union could not take such an seton. and Wa
sustained by the general agent at san Francisco.
The sesmen arrived at general understanding
among themselves. however, that no man would
make the trip down for less than sac 50 the
result is practically the same, unless sailors
be found who are willing 10 ignore the position
taken By nearly every seaman now IN the city.
Captain Polite does not appear TO be worried
over the situation He has put 'iongxhorenen
20 WORK unloading the ballast and 20 trim the
vessel He thinks II viii be easy enough 70 find
q crew when the ship IS ready for sea, since he
considers the aetica taken by the seanen IL a:
variance with the established rules Of the union.
