into the girls face. 'Oh! is this Mr.. -?
Why, goodness gracious! Why didn't you
say so?' said she, throwing open the door.
Now, what do you think OF that for recep-
Arms for Chile's Insurgents.
A BURLY, gray-haired, heavily mustached
man from Philadelphia who called himself
real estate broker, sat at one of the little
tables in the sturtevant bar the other day.
II could have furnished the Congressional
forces of Chile $4,000 stand of arms" said
he, "and run no risk of violating our inter-
national law. I had the option on those
arms from foreign government that is just
now changing to new magazine rifle. But
the crowd that unloaded the arms on the
my offer by 50 gun for an inferior article:
They had 1900 stand in that deal, 10000 of
which were put ashore all right. and 5000 of
which were surrendered to the United
State with the Itata. should have shipped
from q foreign port and made safe del1v-
cry. OF course, there's money In q thing
like this, and there is always somebody who
makes it,"
Disease From Paper Money.
I, ikoI
alluded to English "one-pound notes" in the
vital portion of local story, repeating 1t
again ard again. This is nothing, however,
to the gentleman at the Hoffman House,
who declared that the American $25-bill was
good enough for him, and that If he had his
way there should be nothing smaller in the
way OF paper currency. En- passant, It strikes
lurking in small bills would get more SYM

% never bothers' others most % q u.s. who who don't hang
on to $1-note long enough to catch the
smallpox-no, even though the bill had
scabs on it.
Sleeping in the Daytime.
WONDER if many people think of the sunny
side of night watchman's life! An en-
ploye of the Broadway cable road was over
heard discussing it as follows: "It isn't so
unpleasant lOaf1ng around mere IN tne street
these nice evenings. It's trying to sleep
during the hot days that makes fellow
thin. 1t isn't half so hard on q man to have
to work all day in the hot sun as it is to have
to sleep during the same hot day, or get no
sleep at all. The night watchman is always
a poor man, living In small space and often
to find their legs and voices just about time
want to 60 to sleep. You can't keep them
still They are in and out and whooping it
up and down until Pm nearly crazy. Some
times get but two three, four or five hours
sleep-n ! can catch six hours once in
while I'm in luck. But man must live and
to live he must work or steal"
Insomnia and the Stock Exchange.
"Now, suppose that fellow thinks he is
one of the few who lead dogs life" said a
sleek looking stock broker, to whom l. re-
lated the watchman's story. We had been
talking about the hot weather and insomnia.
"It is well-known fact" he continued,
mopping his iron-g1y head, that we don't
live as long as day laborers. Many of us
with plenty of money don't get any more out
oflife than q steady, hard-working mechanic
with family. Most of US on the floor work
harder and longer than the same proportion
of mechanics and day 1aborers. I know
people who work with their hands don't
generally recognize any other form of labor
better.
'And talk about sleep, and rest! Night
after night have found sleep impossible
An exciting day on Change leaves no such
thing as sound, healthy sleep in its wake.
Those who go Off and get drunk may rest
after fashion; but few men can stand this
burning the candle at both ends long"
