the volunteer observers, who, while the
bureau was on a scientific basis, have
done it invaluable service. They do the
work for the sake of science and are paid
nothing. One of them writes St.
Louis paper that this valuable service
will be demoralized by the Spoils policy,
but that we do not believe. Scientific
observers work disinterestedly in the
matter and we do not think the hue and
cry about politics will disturb them. If
Blaine is nominated for president the
observers may have to record cyclone
but that will be all.

slang and simile.

Will some one kindly point out where
metaphor and simile leave off and where
slang begins? There are many express
sions about which sometimes cause cul-
tured people to turn up their noses or
raise their eyebrows, and yet they are to
be found in tho Bible. in Shakespeare
and in other excellent places, while there
are about as many expressions which
people use with great deal of reverence,
thinking that they come from the Bible,
which really are to be found only in such
works as Sternes Sentimental Journey
Through Italy."-New York Continent.

What Keeps the Bioyoler Upright :

Let us suppose cyclist mounted on
his wheel and riding, say, toward the
north. He finds himself beginning to
tilt toward his right. He is now going
not only north with the machine, but
east also. He turns the wheel eastward.
The point of support must of necessity
travel in the plane of the wheel. Hence
it at once begins to go eastward, and as
it moves much faster than the rider ti1ts
it quickly gets under him, and the ma
chine is again upright. To one standing
at distance in front or rear the bot
tom of the wheel will be seen to move to
the right and left.
conclude, then, that the stability of
the bicycle is due to turning the wheel
to the right or left, whichever way the
leaning is. and thus keeping the point of
support under the rider, just as boy
keeps upright on his finger broom
stick standing on its smallest end

the growth and achievements of the Am

The whip Dance.

Indians frequently, after engaging in
the whip dance, vow that they will never
more submit to the ordeal. and mutually
assure each other that their skins have
been made to suffer for the last time.
But an irresistible longing soon seizes
them to again realize the fearful Joy of
indulging in the sport" aud the result
Is that the dance continues as fashion
able as ever. The young men of the
tribe then, having put ON all the finery
they are able to muster, arm themselves
with the terrible naquarri-a peculiar
whip from which the dance derives its
name. This whip is about five feet in
length and is manufactured of a rong
grass fiber native to the district, bound
around spirally with strip of thin cane.
In the hands of muscular Warau it is
capable of infiicting wound very little
less severe than that which would be
produced by the downward blow of a
knife.
When the dance is about to commence
the performers range themselves opposite
one another, waving their whips in the
air and giving utterance to cries resem-
bling the notes of birds. Suddenly one
of them stops, and poising himself on
one leg stretches out the other, remain-
ing perfectly motionless. The other
stops, too. measures the distance care
fully with his eye, springs high IN the
air to give force to the blow. and, wish.
down comes the heavy whip with /,
fearful smack upon his opponents out
stretched limb. and red cash marks
where the keen thong has curled round
his calf or ankle
The recipient of the blow utters never
a sound, but, smiling as cheerfully as
possible under the circumstances, again
takes up the dance until it is the turn of
the other player to stand still and re-
ceive his punishment, which, we may
depend upon it, is usually returned with
as good will as it was given.-San
Francisco Examiner.

A CHAPTER ON HUMAN NATURE.

An experience of over forty years has
ture is queer thing. Each one sees In
each other the special vices or weak
nesses which is in himself. Thus if
man is a natural prevaricator, he accuses
every other person with whom he comes
in contact with being a liar; if he
is at heart thief he thinks every other
man robber. So well is this truth rec
ognized that it has grown into prov
erb that you must "set thief to catch a
thief" You can tell in what mans
weakness consists when he gets mad or
is engaged in heated debate. A cow
ard always accuses his opponent of be-
ing cowardly, and if the accuser is hyp-
ocrite he accuses every other person
with hypocrisy; if he lacks charity no
one else posses that virtue. How many
times have we all seen men strongly un-
der the influence of liquor accuse every
sober man they meet with being drunk.
How well the Bible understood human
nature when it said, "Odt of the full
ness of the heart the mouth speaketh. "
A heart filed with love toward all man
kind sees heaming from every face he
meets the love and good fellowship he
feels toward all people. If a man is
looking only for kindness from the world,
as the reflex of his own heart, he gener-
ally gets it, for he is not looking for
sights or coldness, and people seeing the
love shining out of his own face give
love in return. After all is said and
done people most generally in this
world get what they are looking for.

Berrsd Johns Pardon.

At the Old Bailey it was customary to
sentence the whole of the prisoners found
guilty at the sessions at one time. 1t
fell to Baron Graham's lot to perform
this duty, and he accordingly went over
the list with due solemnity, but omitted
one person brought up for sentence-Mr
John Jones. The judge was on the point
of finishing the sentences, when the Off
Ger reminded his lordship of this omis-
sion. Whereupon the judge said grave
ly, s.Ohi am sure I beg John Jones
pardon and then sentenced him to
transportation for life.-San Francisco

to four healthy living calves-two males
and two females-at his Idlewild planta-

calves are small, but strong and healthy.

at the top of his voice that Pet had given
birth to four calves. In haste Mr.. Smith
hurried to the Enclosure aud found the

Khedive Pet is above the average size
of Jerseys and is a descendant from the

in seven days. Khedive Pet was raised

They are Very Scarce and Control
Fair Salaries.

Cloak manufacturers are complaining
of the great scarcity of desirable models.
There was time, they say, when an adj
vertisement for model or figure, as they
are called in the business, would bring
forth a food of replies. This Is the
busiest season of the year, and many
new models are required 10 "try on" in
the work and sales rooms. There are
thousands of young women in this city
who imagine themselves physically cut
out to become cloak model, but they
are far from it. The public knows very
little concerning the requirements for "a
figure. The fact that they are paid
from $40 TO $1S per week for compare
lively easy work is "a sure indication that
they are not to be had in great numbers.
Ii doesn't require any experience 10 be a
model. One must be graceful and have
fine physical proportions. Good looks
don't count, either, though showroom
figure must have some attractions and
dress much better than an unknown
model.
Manufacturers as rule require a
woman of about feet, 81 inches in
height. She seldom goes under that, but
sometimes half an inch more is desirable.
Misses figures 60 according to age and in
very few cases become good women
models. The professional figure has a
natural grace about her that cannot be
acquired by artificial means. Any young
woman who has the height mentioned
above, bust measurement of SO inches,
waist "a inches, length of back from 161
y
inches, hips AZ inches and 131 inches
across the shoulders, is perfect figure
and can find steady employment in any
cloak house, at any time If she chooses.
January, February, July aud August
are the busiest months in the cloak bust
ness. During the first two months out
of-town buyers flock here in great num-
bers to purchase goods for the spring
and summer trade. The last two months
are used for laying in supply of fall
and winter wraps and suits. The show
room figures generally have contract
for all the year around and are paid in
full for the same, but they seldom have
to do much outside those four months.
The work-room figures are always kept
busy. They are the hardest worked of
any in the establishment. The sample
model must be the most perfect. She,
too, is compelled to toll the year around
Manufacturers would not to have pay for
other than actual working time if there
were not dearth in models. The big
gest cloak house in this city employs
fifteen figures. The ''trying on" to show
TO customers is done by either an exam
liner or the lady assistants
"A model must not be too attractive"
said manufacturer. "A beautiful face
draws too much attention when person
is buying and results in neglect of
proper inspection of the article displayed.
What is required is to show the stock to
its best advantage without drawing un-
necessary attention to the model. - New
