About Writing Ones Name.

People who sign their letters with
wild fiourishes, or initials only, and give
no address, offer one of the worst of
compliments to their correspondent by
egotistically assuming that their hand
writing must be of such familiar impor-
lance to him. or that they and their
affairs are so present to his mind that
further Identification is unnecessary
Having their signature cut from the end
of letter, and the address from it's
heading pasted on the envelope which
incloses a reply, is bad compliment
which many persons bring upon them
selves by an objectionable eligibility.
1t is singular fact the accidental mis-
spelling or mispronunciation of ones
name generally constitutes greater
affront and is provocative of more an
noyance than a studied insult.-All the
Year Round.

Discomfort Among Railroad Clerks,


A railroad clerk in this city writes:
viii you oblige many railroad clerks by
saying that we are the most dissatisfied
class in business? A railroad clerk is
seldom advanced on account of merit.
know many who have been at the same
desks and for the same salary for years
and years, and they are acknowledged
to be valuable and competent. The men
under whom they work are not to blame
because they are not advanced. The
fault is at the fountain head. The di-
rectors of most companies live in the
east and in London and other European
cities.
Whenever one of those directors has a
son or nephew, or the son or nephew of
some influential friend, he sends him out
west to take position in the Office of
the company of which he is director,
and the young man gets fat place.
Please understand that we do not blame
the young man. AS rule he is a gen
tlemanly fellow and does his work to
the best of his ability, and some of them
have done well. But it is poor encour-
agement to an old timer to see this prin-
ciphe in vogue. do not believe it pre-
walls in any other line Of business. Chi

Describing a Thief

A while ago lady in passing down a
crowded thoroughfare was relieved OF
her pocketbook. 1t was two hours be,
fore she missed it. After two hours
more of search, and returning to places
where she might have carelessly left it;
it occurred to her suddenly that she had
been jostled by five or six men at q street
corner. The circumstance made no par
ticnlar impression upon her mind at the
time, only that she glanced around with
the thought that the street was I'M
usually crowded, and that the men were
taking up more room than was neces-
sary. She reported her loss to the police,
and in relating the incident she de-
scribed three of the men so accurately.
their features, their clothing, and even
the design on one of their neck handker-
chiefs, that they were recognized imme-
diately as being the most notorious pick
pockets in the city.
The pocketbook was found rified of the
money, but with the valuable papers in
TACT in the engine room of a prominent
building. The engine room had sky
light that opened into the alley near the
corner where the men had crowded her,
They kindly lifted the screen and drop
ped it upon the marble floor near the en-
gineer. She was not indebted to the art
of observing closely for the loss or the
return of the pocketbook, but slight
hint was given of its value in the unveil-
ing of the brain picture, of which she
was unconscious of receiving. Chicago

Speaking of Guns.

The list thought of almost every one
On hearing good story is to find some
one else to whom it can be told. Some
people make a few stories stand them in
good stead for long time, and a tale is
told of Vermont man who had Just one
story, and who told that on every posi-
bic occasion.
1t was an excellent story, without
doubt, the story of gun which had
once belonged to a friend of his, and he
told it well, though perhaps it might
have been improved by little condensa-
ton. But his anxiety to bring forward
this tale never abated. One new listener
In a group of people was quite enough to
encourage him to give his 'gun" story
in all its details.
1t is said that he always brought the
conversation around to guns as soon as
possible; then he would say, "And speak
ing of guns reminds me of a good story"
and then begin his narrative.
There is legend in his native town
that on one occasion number of peo-
pie who were we'll acquainted with this
thrilling tale endeavored to keep guns
out of the conversation at a dinner
given by club of which he was mem
Der to distinguished visitor
In vain the gun man tried to bring
the talk round to his favorite weapon,
and as time went on his expression be-
came gloomy in the extreme. AS the
guests rose from the table at last, so the
story runs, he stamped violently on the
floor as he approached the distinguished
guest, and then said, Just little
cramp from sitting so long, my dear sir;
but that sounded almost like gun; and,
speaking of guns, reminds me"-and
linking his arm in that of the visitor, he
bore him triumphantly from the room
to the music of his cherished anecdote.

with My Body 1 Thee Worship"


When the wedding service of the
church OF England was adopted for use
IN this country the adoring sentiment in
the above line was dropped out of it, the
Protestant Episcopal church retaining
the word "obey" in the wonan's vow,
Now, 1t is easy to see that there was no
great risk in the promise to obey a man
who had just pledged himself to Sen
dow" his wife with all" his .wordly
goods" and also to worship her. The
attitude of possessing all that the poor
fellow owned, and of having him be-
sides in the attitude of alteration. y
might be supposed to be fully the equiv
alent and balance to the word 'sobey."
AS it now stands the promise to obey is
only balanced by the equally neglected
promise to give the wife all that the
man owns.
Neither is carried out, although the
last one is frequently made sound, for
the first time, by the husbands last will
and testament. If he does not live up to
ms bridal promises he frequently dies
down to them. Taken as traditions that
convey the sentiment of an entire union
or interests, obligations and desires, the
whole service should be restored, if
poetry is to rule. Taken as the common
sense contract solemnized in the midst
OF the most sacred surroundings, the
word "obey" ought to go out promptly,
since the correspondingly worshipful
words of the old service were dropped
out long ago.-Philadelphia Ledger.

MIR. Disraeli and Sir Robert Pee,

Mr.. Froude's story about Sir Robert
Peel having once asked "a distinguished
friend" to carry a challenge to Mr.. Dis
raeli is most nonsensical romance, and
it is wonderful that he could print such
rubbish. The truth is that Mr.. Froude's
fiction is based upon the fact that there
was once a stormy scene in the house of
commons between Mr.. Disraeli and Sir
Roberts brother, Gen. Peel, which
would certainly have resulted in hos
tile meeting but for the intervention of
friends. Mr.. Froude has simply con-
fused Sir Robert with his brother, but
his story is all wrong. for the general
commenced hostilities by informing Mr..
Disraeli that he had told falsehood.
The whole affair was over in less than
half an hour. as the aggressor frankly
apologized. Lord George Bentinck was
Mr.. Disraeli's friend" and Admiral
Rous acted for Gen. Peel. London
