Plenty Of Men for the Position.

An interesting story is told, and it is q
true story, of merchant who inserted an
advertisement to the effect that he wanted
a bookkeeper, married, of irreproachable
private character, an expert accountant,
one speaking French Spanish and Ger
man preferred, to whom, reference being
satisfactory, would be paid $500 salary for
the first year-less than ten dollars a week.
To this advertisement, which was orig
inally ordered inserted for a week, came
the first day seventy four answers. The
advertisement was taken out.
Now here is curious condition of af-
fairs. The men who applied were men Of
education; many of them had seen the ira
ditional better days, yet they were willing
to accept $40 a week.
The question naturally arises, is it better
to teach ones sons trade or to give them
what is technically known as an education'
There is heap of thought in that, and II

and the workingmen of whatever name
may be taken, on the one hand, and the
nervous, feverish anxiety of the educated
men seeking clerical situations may be
taken as an index on the other, is it not a

WHAT is A CADi
Certain Points by Which He May BE Dis

tinguished from "a Gentleman.
Richard Grant White wrote that ''the
dropping and putting on Of HIS in Eng
land is a sure protection against cads,"
statement that was not true, for the reason
that cad as the term is understood, is
not necessarily a cockney. but a preten-
tious man of any origin or training who
possesses mean instincts and exhibits them
in his manners.
Possibly nothing" said a gentleman
who has long been regarded as something
of an arbiter in social questions, more de
cisively stamps the cad than his preten-
sions in knowing just how to eat, and his
exhibiting contempt for the homely, old
fashioned individual who desires to eat in
another way. You may at once be sure
that the fellow who emphasizes his supe-
rior ability in ordering dinner, and draws
attention to the manner in which he eats
it, has either just acquired his knowledge
or is mean of character.
eff he is a gentleman, and has always
eaten well ever since he was born, he will
be aware that what he personally prefers
is of no more consequence in the real art of
cooking than what his neighbor relishes,
and that eating is not an exhibition, but a
qualification. If you manage to serve a
dinner that would have caused Lucullus to
weep tears of joy, or that would summon
smiles of approval into the face Of Mr.. Nc.
Allister, and yet fails to please the appe-
tite of your guests you have made a dead
| failure of it.
"Yet you will find the cads | refer to ex-
pressing supercilious disdain of the person
who would call for roast turkey in prefer
ence to canvas back duck, or exhibit a
fondness for fish chowder when bisque
decrevisses could be obtained. The cad
will be shocked when a barbarian puts
horseradish on oysters, and nearly faint if
| butter is reqested at dinner. He is not
| content to allow these slight common
places to pass, but must impress upon peo-
| pie about him that he is deeply affected by
the vulgarity of them.
"All this is done with an air that makes
every one about him feel very ignorant
After dining with such a man one rises
feeling that he has attended a terribly

ease and enjoyment have been lost in the
labor expended to be absolutely correct

Speed and Safety on the Ocean.

Notwithstanding all the peril from fog
and ice, and from the fury of cyclones and
hurricanes, the steamers of the transatlan-
tic lines are so staunchly built and 50
capably handled that man is less likely
to meet with accidents on board one of
them than he would be in walking the
streets of a crowded city. Never before
have so many passengers been carried as
are carried now The ships that were re-
garded as leviathans fifteen or sixteen
years ago are as yachts compared with
more recent additions to the various fleets.
Scarcely more than ten years have elapsed
since sixteen knots was the maximum
speed, now it is twenty knots, with the GER
tainty of an almost immediate increase to
twenty-one or twenty-five knots.
The tonnage has been increased within
the same period from a maximum of 5000
to 10, 500, and while ten years ago 300 cabin
passengers were as many as any steamer
could accommodate with a reasonable de-
gree of comfort on one voyage, it is not un-
common now to find over 500 as the COM
plement of one steamer. When steamers
of sixteen and seventeen knots were built
it was said that they were too large and
too fast, and that they would surely come
to grief, but experience has proved them to
be as safe as any. In fact, those who are
best qualified to know declare that the
augmentation Of speed promotes safety
