Looking After Clerks.

just now all the great banking and
business houses in Philadelphia
shadow their clerks and find out
how aud where they live. A leading
detective agency tells the Philadelphia
Enquirer.
II had nearly my entire force en-
ployed for the past six or seven weeks
in shadowing clerks of banks and trust
companies. and you have no idea how
thorough the shadowing has been. NV
reports to those who have given me
the work to do have been most COM
plete. Faults in the private lives of
men otherwise exemplary have been
unearthed that would not look well in
print We have discovered no default-
ers nor confronted with evidences Of
his guilt a single embezzler, but we
have learned where many men spend
their time after business hours, and
now.
Il know Of one case where we found
that a clerk in banking house was
the member of a social club where he
spent his evenings. A pretty stiff
game of poker is played in this club,
and the clerk whom we were watching
was to be found around the green
baize table every night. lie was
pretty good player, but he met with
losses sometimes. Taken altogether,
| think he was ahead of the game. He
comes Of an excellent family. and has
the full confidence of the officers of
the institution in which he is employed.
When ! made my report in his case
the old president sent for the young
man aud told him what he had learned.
The clerk did not deny that he played
cards. but he boasted of his proficiency
and claimed that he was heavy win
ner.
money got that way. young man.
said the president, can never do you
any good. The habit may eventually
do you great harm. Take my advice
aud drop it, / will, said the young
fellow, and have every reason 10 be-
lievc that he is keeping his word. for
be has dropped the club and spends
his evenings at home"

Salton has been one Of the largest sail
works on the Pacific coast. All the pro
prietors had to do was to scrape the salt
from the surface OF the soil and clean 1T.
Few white man could do the work, as the
temperature was sometimes as high as
l25 degrees in the shade and l43 de-
grees in the sun. Says mar who has
been there: ''If one makes the least
exertion perspirations pours out Of him
like water You cross the room and
your clothes will be wringiug wet; yet
In ten minutes all this water is eyapo
rated. To keep yourself alive you are
forced to drink water by the gallon. Il
you have no water your tongue swells,
you suffer torments Of the damned, and
II water doesn't reach you in twelve or
fourteen hours you will perish misera-
ply The Indians can stand the heat
much longer without water. The custom
is to keep small peble in the mouth
and only take swallow of water. The
Indians arevery extravagant They
spend all on canned fruit ana other
costly articles. They are worth seeing
on sunday. Those who have gone
nearly naked through the week don cor
sets.and:the men wear shirts that would
make dude envious.

PASTE AND SCISSORS.

Constantine Ashargan, sl0-a-week
clerk in New York, has received word
that he is about to inherit fortune.
He has already squandered two fortunes
1 Of 81, ,000, 900 each left him by his par
ents in Greece.
At a glassworks in White Mills,
Wayne county, Pa, there is on eXhibi-
tion what is regarded as the finest set OF
cut glass ever turned out in this coun-
try 1t consists of $50 separate pieces
and has been ordered by the United
States government for the White
House. On each piece OF the set, from
the mammoth center piece and punch
howl 10 the tiny salt cellars, is engraved
the coat Of arms OF the United States.
The work alone has occupied months OF
time. The total cost will be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000
The man that first sent out a crop re-
port is a former Chicagoan, now resi-
dent in New York. Thirty years ago
this man had 1900 customers all over
the union, and his credits depended
much upon the condition OF the crops.
One day he hit upon the idea Of asking
all his correspondents for crop reports.
He sent out a circular and obtained a
pretty good return. He gave the result
to the newspapers. and ii attracted con-
siderable attention. The whole thing
cost him about $50 in postage.
Lathly Nichols of Thomaston, Me,
whose diseased arm was recently ampu-
tated, experienced some remarkable
sensations after the operation had been
completed, says the New York Suns
After amputation the arm was placed
in box In somewhat cramped position
and Nichols complained OF severe
pain. Without his knowledge the arm
was placed in more natural position,
whereupon he expressed great relief
As the missing member was carried
away he indicated TO those around him
just how the box WAS moved, and when
1t was tipped from level he felt con-
siderable pain He told when it was
placed In the ground and indicated by
gestures with his remaining arm every
shovelful OF earth that was thrown up-
on it. expressing much relief when the
intermeni was over.
One OF the most unique suits ever filed
in Minnesota says dispatch from st.
Paul, that placed on the docket OF the
district court court at Minneapolis takes
the blue ribbon. John w. Turner, a
thrifty grocer, asks that Miss Eta
Terwilliger, pretty milliner Of Iowa,
be required TO pay him $1,000 for hirt-
ing. He has been keeping company
with the young lady for some months,
but she gave him up for another. Re
ferring to his suit Turner says This
is not a breach-of-promise case, but a
case for damages. | don't like lirting,
and am going to show people that this
country is very unhealthy one for that
kind OF business. / have been fair with
the girl. | told her that / detested
flirting. and when | commenced keep
ing company with her told her that
did II with the intention OF marrying
her. and had every reason to helieve
that she intended to marry me. Now
she las gone to flirting with other peo-
pie, aud intend to punish her."
