HAGGLED WITH WORTH.

And the Famous Man Milliner Felt
His Dignity Seriously Outraged.
Every man has his price, though it
is in the case of renowned persons oc-
casionally high. No one understands
this better than Worth, the man mil
liner, as any woman who wears his
connections can vouch for. There is a
good story told of how one misguided
woman ventured to demonstrate with
the faiseur de chiffons because he
charged her $500 for a dress, which at
first sight seems to ordinary people
rather an expensive gown:
''"The material," said the. lady,
"could be bought tor $lOO, and surely
the work OF making up would, be well
paid with $25 more"
HMadam," replied the, outraged
tailor in his Hottest manner, ego to
NJ. Constant, the painter, and sa y to
him: Here is a canvas and colors,
value 81. Paint me picture. on that
canvas with these paints and l will
pay you 33h cents What will bet
answer? Madam, this is-no payment
for an artist No, but say more. If
you think my terms are too high, keep
the dress and pay me nothing. Art
does not descend. to the pettiness Of
haggling.''

ON A sHARk's BACK.
The Man Who Stands Alone Among
b Jockeys.

The Man Who Stands Alone Among
Jockeys.
Joe Garcia is perhaps the only man
living who has ridden any distance on
the back OF a man-eating shark, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. Joewas
at work for the Pacific Mail Company
at Panama, and came to this city on
one of the company's steamers.
Sharks OF the man-eating variety
are plentiful at Panama, and make
no bones of scratching their backs
| against boat when they feel that
| way. Joe was going ashore in the
c0mpany's steam launch one day, and
before the boat had got half way to
the landing a l2-foot shark was OBJ
served swimming alongside the craft.
! Garc1a tried to drive the fierce brute
away by throwing Jumps of coal at
him, but the big fish took no notice Of
the COAL Garcia then picked up a.
chain hook lying in the launch and
waited for a. chance to strike the
shark. The hook had beckett on it,
| and in order not to lose the hook Joe
slipped the beckett over bis hand, and
| inside OF two seconds was very sorry
he had done so.
The big shark edged closer to the
launch and cast a. longing look at Joe
as he leaned over the side of the boat.
This was the chance Joe had been
looking for and he struck with all his
force at the brute's head The sharp
hook penetrated the eye. of the big
fish, and the hext instant Joe went
over the side. OF the. boat like a
flash.
Maddened with pain the fierce tiger
OF the sea tore through. the water at a.
speed that threw the spray high in
the Dir and gave poor Joe no chance
to extricate his: hand from the beckett.
Those in the launch att once gave
chase, but the fish dartedj hither and
thlther at a twenty-knot gait, and
they had about as good a chance to
catch it as they would. have had to
capture comet. The strain on the
mans arm was TERRIBLE. and it SEEM
ed as If that member would be torn
from the socket owing to, the great
speed he was being towed through the
water.
Luckily for Joe the brute kept on
top OF the water, and at last, blinded
no doubt by the sharp iron hook, it
dashed high and dry on Thereof, drag
ging Garcia with it. AS quickly as
possible the boat was brought along
side, and one of the men cut the beckett,
but not before he had been nearly
stunned by a blow from the sharks
tail. Joe was nearly dead! from pain
and full OF water, but he soon came to.
His clothes were torn off by the terri
BILE rush through the sea, and he was
badly scratched by contact with the
sharp rocks.
The shark was killed., and in it's
stomach was found half a:bushel part
ly digested bones, a shoe, and the bowl
OF a pipe. Garcia preserved the back
bone OF the big fish, and will make a
cane of it to remind HIM OF the time
when he rode shark around the Bay
Of Panama.

HE TRIED TYPEWRlTlNG,

Experiences Of a Young Man Who
Essayed to- Master the lnstru-
ment,
There is a young lawyer in this city,
says the New York Times, who does
little literary work outside OF his
profession, who got himself a type.
writer as an aid to his labors, and
now he says he is on the verge of in
sanity. And he lays it all to, the
type writer. When he first sat down
to the machine, he says, he thought
that it would be an easy thing to
master it, but in a. few minutes his
hands were going round in circles over
it in vain attempts to find the letter
that he wanted.
That was only beginning, however,
for taking the matter up on a scien-
t1t% basis, he set out to learn the ex-
act location of all the keys. By the
end OF the first day every word that
ne heard in conversation set him to
figuring out where every letter would
be on his key board whether in the
first row, or the second, or the third,
or on the left or right of the middle
line OF the keyboard. And then he
would try to recall what little disc he
had to strike to make a per cent sign,
and what for the dollar sign, and what
for quotation marks, and what for a
dozen other marks, each one of which
had to be made in a special way.
And at the end of two months of
steady practice, when he could
strike off the words at a. rate that
made the machine rattle, he began to
think he was quite an operator, and
sat down for a little test. He had a
friend to read to him, and for two
minutes wrote with his pen. The re.
suit was thirty words for each minute,
written very legibly. Then he tackled
the typewriter. The machine made a
great racket, and he thought he must
be making a. new record.
When the second two minutes were
up the perspiratlon was dropping
from his brow. The count showed to
the credit of the second test just forty
words, and of them just nineteen were
spelled wrongly Through the striking
of wrong keys, which had to be cor
rected. A typewriter little used may
be obtained at a very low figure.

A TEST OF CLASSIC MUSIC.
Simple Method by Which Even the
Most Ignoront May Judge.

According to the Dusseldorfer
Anzeiger there is a very supplemented
by which even the greatest skeptic
may ascertain whether piece of music
is good, bad or Indifferent. It is as
follows: If the music goes 81, 2, 3,
hop, hop, hop" Or Il, 2, 8, bum,
bum, bum" you may depend upon it
that you are listening to unmitigated
rubbish. But when you hear music
which sounds as though a number of
we'll arranged notes were stuck into a.
barrel and energetically stirred about
like a sort of rmonious oatmeal
porrldge, then you may assume that
it is a fugue, and at once compose
your features into, an expression of
profound interest.
Ii, on listening to; the music, you
fancy the notes are dropping accident
ally on the floor and from time to
time asserting themselves again in g.
quiet, dreamy sort of way, then
the piece is probably nocturno, and
nocturnos, as you, are aware, are
very high-class music indeed.
When the notes, seem to arrive in
truck loads and leach truck contains,
so to speak, a. different sort from the
one that has gone before, and when
the tram appears to take unreason-
able amount of time in passing a
given point, then, the master piece is
most likely assymphony, and symph7
onies are the greatest musical creations.

"A misrepresentation Corrected.
MANKATo, MIMI, Special, Sept. l5.-The
executive committee of the so-called

report OF leading thresher shows that the
eighteen to twenty bushels per acre.
Gen. J. II. Baker represented Blue Earth
on the committee, but whoever was re-
sponsible for the clause was very careful to
make no direct assertion, but to hide a
thrust at the prosperity OF the county under
the cloak OF report given by a single
thresher. Your correspondent has talked
with the leading miners and buyers and
farmers from every part OF the county, and
from such information as he has obtained
is led to confidently assert that the aver
age yield Of wheat in the county will be
twenty-three or twentyfour bushels per
acre. Many place the average higher, but
the figures given will stand the test of the
