Lecture Cities.

New York is the worst city in the couu-
try for the lecturer" said an employe of a
lyceum bureau the other day, "and Phila-
delphia is one OF the best. Boston, how
ever, is the only city that can furnish a
paying audience at matinee lecture. On
the whole, Pennsylvania is the best state
for lectures. The lecture goes best in towns
of from 5000 to 10000 inhabitants. How
ever, Pitts5urg is good lecture town, and
even Chicago takes strong attractions.
The theatrvgoing people do not attend lect-
ures, and vice versa, SO that the method of
advertising for theatrical attractions does
not work in the case OF lectures. New Eng
land is hardly SO good field for the lect-
ure as it once was, bUt there is still large
lecrUregoing community in all Yankee
cities. New York Star.

For Would BE Reporters.

Our advice to every young man about to
enter journalism would be to make the
start as reporter for some country week
lys That is splendid experience. Re
pOrters for country weeklies get from IS to
SIS week. This experience covering six
months or a year, should be followed by a
years connection with daily morning
Newspaper published in town of not more
than $4,000 populations; pay from $40 to $40
a week. This further experience will (or
ought toy give the young man an acquaint-
ance with general newspaper work-such
details as editing telegraph, reading proof.
writing editorial paragraphs, etc.-kinds OF
work that may not fall to his lot subse-
quentIy, but which he should know all
about.
If our young friend at Muscatine is dis
satisfied with his present employment he
will never be u success at it. He complains
of long hours, yet he says that he is fairly
paid. 1t matters not what business he is
engaged in an empioye must be worth
more to his employer than he actually re-
ceives in compensation for his services.
This is particularly true in the profession
of journalism.--Eugene Field in Chicago

A Royal Way to Give a Tip.

1t was at a club dinner. The guests bad
just taken their seats at the tables. The
colored walters, Respondent in full dress,
were bustling about with itching palms.
A jolly party sat downat one of the tables.
The leader took his seat at the head of the
table and bockoned to one of the walters.
As the eXpectant darky leaned over him
the club man took slowly from his pocket
a wallet and from that a crisp new s. bill.
With the greatest elaboration he folded it
through the center, while the walters
eyes began to roll. Laying the greenback
on tue table, he pressed his knife along the
crease and ciilmiy tore the bill in two, to
the horror Of tie waiter and to the surprise
of his own parCy. One-half of the bill he
tucked into his vest pocket. The other
half he handed to the waiter, remarking
luconically, The rest after dinner-per-
haps" There wasn't another table in the
room that got the service tha5 that table
got, and the waiter was finally rewarded
with the other half the bill.-New York

THE SCHEME WORKED.
A Man Puts Up Job to Make Every Wo-
man in the Theatre Take on Her Hat.

Man Puts Up Job to Make Every Wo-
man in the Theatre Take on Her Hat.
The theatre was crowded. The curtain
had just risen. Jewels flashed, gay plumes
on woIdrous headdresses huttered in the
heated air, costly fans waved slowly to and
fro, and the fashionable audience turned
its eyes and opera glasses toward the stage
and settled into the hush of expectation
that precedes the opening of the play,
which the experienced stage manager has
waited considerably for all the late corners
to be seated before the bell taps for the
curtain to rise.
In conspicuous location about half way
between the orchestra and the front seats
Of the paruuet circleswere three ladies who
had come in unattended about five minutes
before. They were noticeable for the wide,
daring, outrageous hats they wore. Di-
rectly behind them sat a nervous looking,
despairing mar, who was making wild
but fruitless efforts to see the stage. The
wide hats with their wealth of tropical
bird foliage hid everything he wanted to
see from his view. In vain he wrtggled
and sauirmed and craned his neck from
side to side. The hats were too large, too
close together and too richly upholstered.
Apparently unconscious that he was at
tracing the attention Of everybody in his
neighborhood and bringing the ladies in
front of him into unpleasant prominence,
he perseyered till sounds of i'll suppressed
laughter were heard on all sides of him.
Then he settled himself back in his chair
with a weary sigh, but the next moment
took advantage of lull in the performance
on the stage to lean forward and address
one of the ladies-the one who sat in the
middle.
Madam he said in loud whisper, 81
beg pardon, but it is utterly impossible for
me to see through your hat, and the Lord
made me too small to see over it. If you
will kindly remove it you will make a
wretched man happy for whole evening"
The forty or fifty persons who were look
ing on saw the lady remove her hat at once,
turn around, and smilingly beg his pardon.
They saw the other two ladies take off their
hats also, and the example became instaR-
ly contagious. Ten or dozen other enor-
nous hats came off in the next half min
ute, much TO the relief of the sufferers d.
rectly behind them. Then the star of the
evening stepped on the stage and the atten-
ton of the audience was Attracted to the
performance again.
The details of this pleasing little incident
are given in full for the purpose of ex
planning to those who witnessed it that thu
whole affair was put up job.
The lady whom that man addressed was
his wife, and the other two were his sisters
