STOPPING Shoulders.

Apropos of round shoulders, decided
the other day as sat in great public
gathering, drawn from all parts of the
land, that what we need most is not more
currency, or less taxes, ora new banking
system, but q law to enforce sitting mp
straight. Take 100 Americans men and
women, and you could not find enough
good shoulders among them to make up
table at whist. This defect of car
rage used to be thought peculiar to the
rural districts. 1t is not 80. City peo-
Pile show it less, but this is due to the
cunning Of their tailors, and not to any
virtue of their own.

were enacted, in two generations we
would not know ourselves-or rather
our descendants--so great would be tho

An odd Railway.

Zone of the queerest railroads any
where in the country" said the Rev. D.:
s. Banks, of North Ontario, sis novel
line that runs from South Ontario, in
San Bernardino county, where live.
The line is seven miles long. A span of
stout mules draw the Car up over the
road. There is nothing singular about
that, but it comes in on the return trip.
"The seven miles are on tilt all the
way, although the track does not look
like it. So when the car starts back the
mules get on and take ride, the car
booming over the whole line by gravity.
The mules enjoy it too. They ride there
in as self satisfied way as any other
passenger. and the view seems equally
charming. North Ontario, you know,
is situated at the mouth Of San Antonio
canyon, but there are lot Of magnifi-
cent mountains around there. One col
ony-for they can scarcely be called
towns--is situated on the Santa Fe road
and the other ON the Southern Pacific.
1t is the seven miles of street railway
that connect the two.
"The way they get the mules aboard
is this There is little truck under the
car, and it is pulled out, becoming an
adjunct to the regular passenger depart
ment The moment the truck is slid
out the intelligent animals make start
for it and step up and on. 1t is extreme
ly amusing way they do it and the
way they enjoy this ride, and they are
great favorites with the people. San

Caramels and Constancv.

In one of the large confectionery
stores on Chestnut street the girls who
have been there a long time know most
of the engaged couples in town, and can
tell how long the sweet ENHANCEMENT
has been pending. They also are pretty
well posted as to what engagements are
broken. The reason is that one Of the
things the engaged young man is sup-
posed to do is to keep his fiancee sup
piled with candy. Usually when a
young man lets up on his supply of
candy it is sign either of misunder-
standing or that the wedding day is near
at hand, for, strange to say, with the
approach Of the nuptial date the bride
groom elect generally gets economical
in sweetmeats, possibly because he is
saving up for the bridal bouquet

Not u Fair sample Of the Sex.

A man who has returned from trip
abroad says that women, as a rule, do
not know how to treat servants. On
shipboard, as every ocean traveller is
aware, it is established that fees are the
Frule. Every one knows it. Every
guidebook ever written to tell one show
to go to Europe" advises its reader
of this fact, and how to meet 1t. Some
of them even state the regulation tip
which it is best to give the steward-ten
shillings-though twice that amount is
more often the rule, and it's worth it.
Women, it is said, invariably either
overdo this, and spoil the servants by
raising their ideas, or underdo it so amaz-
ingly as to be absurd. / suppose 1t is
another form of the old accusation-no
middle distance.
Well, Boston actress crossed ON the
steamer with the man mentioned above,
sailing from East Boston in the early
SUMMER. She sat at the captains table,
and was so pretty as to attract the ad-
miring attention of every one ON board.
The fact had its penalties. She was in
lusty health, and her appetite reflected
the bracing effects of the sea air on her
fine physique. At every meal she called
for every dish on the bill of fare. The
cook must have felt honored, but it
kept the steward jumping. He took
more steps for her sweet pleasure than
for all the rest of his contingent. He
did his duty well, There shone In his
eyes the contented hope of handsome
tip, and at the end of the voyage she
gave him-a shilling. Mahogany Tree.

The Chimes I'm Old Trinity.

There is delightful mystery about
the Trinity chime. 1t is the Oldest in
this country, except the chime of Christ
church in Philadelphia. But very little
is known of the history of Trinity's older
bells. From the inscriptions upon them
it is supposed that the five bells that at
first composed the chime were cast in
London. One more, it is believed, came
from England in 1888, when the second
Trinity church was erected. When the
present Trinity church was built in 1S45
there were six old bells in the steeple.
The largest one was cracked and was
sent to Troy to be recast, and at the
same time four more Troy bells were
bought.
Consequently the Trinity chime now
consists of ten bells, five cast in England
and five cast in Troy. The largest
weighs 8,s05 pounds, the smallest 750
and the whole together about $4,000
pounds. They are hung in such heavy
wooden framework that the full volume
of their sound is never heard in the
street. Even before the improvements
in Grace church, Trinitys method of
ringing was considered primitive by com
parison. New York Sun.

The sum to Get MARRIED on.

No man has a right to get married on
less than 81 800 year. at least that is
the conclusion reached the other day at
the close of a long discussion on this
subject. OF course that means if the
man is going to take for his bride a
sweet and lovely young woman, who
while being happily provided for at
home has not been overindulged in ex-
travagances, and who has the sense to
know that she can hardly expect box
at the opera and lots Of diamonds from
the young man who has only so lately
firmly established himself in business.
And even if the girl is one of those who
has known what it is to be'out in the
world at work orherself, she can hardly
be expected to marry fellow who can
not do as well for her as she did for her
self. She has managed to get along
beautifully by herself on fifty or sixty
dollars month, with plenty of nice, SEN
sible clothes, q trip to the theater every
now and then, and every summer, or
maybe every other summer, a nice little
jaunt away somewhere, to forget the
little unpleasantnesses of everyday office
life. And the way this money was to go
was very nicely settled too.
The young man won't be likely to
have home Of his own to take his win
some bride to, and there is the unfailing
call of the landlord on the first of the
month to BIO met, and that meeting
means twenty dollars sure, and maybe
more. Sixty dollars will disappear early
in the action by the time the butcher
and baker and candlestick makers and
some other peoples monthly bills have
been settled; $3.50 a year is placing the
estimate at very modest figures for the
wearing apparel of each during the
year, and when all this is added up
81, 260 is cared for, and something must
be put away for rainy days and doctors
bills and occasional treats to the theater
and the lake, and 81 900 is gonel Still
there are others who think they can get
along first rate with good deal less
than this.--Boston Herald.

The Vatican library at Rome, cele-

books, contains copy Of that most val
liable of all books, the Hebrew Bible.

offer was made for this Biblical treasure.

What notes of what ditty can sound from the
city,
From out Of the dust and the din,
Where the suns pallid taper is dim through
the vapor
That shrouds all the sorrow and sin?
At evening listen-the murky lamps glisten,
Tho stars peep by two and by three;
The harsh Babel noises replace your sweet
voices,
Dear sea!
Yet past the fog curtain, know 1t for certain,
The barn roofs have caught the last ray;
The smoke of the threshing Is softly enmesh-
ing
Brown gables with delicate gray:
The red leaves are falling, the plovers are
calling,
The sea wind Is salt DER the void:
The bryoldes blacken, the tufts OF green
bracken
Turn gold
o scents that redouble where slow through the
stubble
The plow cleaves pathway Of hopei
o woods fading yellow, and orchards grown
mellow,
hnd ilocks on the faraway slopel
o sea songs that mingle on bowlder and
single,
o fields that of old time knewl
III heart swells 10 bursting with Infinite
thirstng
For you.
