Some Alleged Big Salaries.

The story Is being told in New York
that the proprietor of certain well
known morning newspaper has made an
pffer to successful publisher of Chi
,ago to come to New York for five years
st an annual salary of $4,000 Whether
this report be true or not, it has occa-
pioned good deal of gossip.
Perhaps in nothing more than in the
puestion of salaries is there so much
said that is untrue. l have no doubt
there area small number of gentlemen
who are paid from So, 900 to 500, 900 a
year for their services, but whether they
are worth it or not is another question.
The tendency is always to exaggerate
on the salary question anyhow, and 1t
is more than likely that not half the
sum mentioned is actually paid to any
man.
1t is the same way with the authors
of books. a little while ago it was said
that Ward McAllister had received $685.
600 for his published volume on "SOci-
etv as Have Found It." Mr.. McAllis-
ter now comes forward and spoils this
pretty fiction by stating positively that
he received only about $500, and that
is why he hesitates about accepting an
offer made to him by Chicago firm of
publishers. He says there is no money
In books.
The men who are paid 800, 1000 year
in New York for any services whatever
are so few as to be lonesome. Those
who receive $4,000 could probably be
numbered inside of a hundred. Those
who receive $25, 900 year are Of course
more numerous, but there are not enough
of them to cause any very general dis
turbance in financial centers. And am
quite inclined to the belief that any man
who receives from 10000 to $40, 900
year as salary is, like the famous Reilly
who kept the hotel, doing exceedingly
well-Foster Coates in New York Mail
and Express.

The credit of introducing the new
flower, the green carnation, TO English
society has been given 10 Oscar Wilde.
While it is true that he wore one in his
buttonhole the evening on which his
play, Lady WIndermere's Fan" was
first publicly enacted, it was already
known to few leaders of fashion in
Great Britain and was becoming popu-
lar there without waiting for his sane
lion. The green carnation had been
worn for weeks before that time on the
Paris boulevards. New York Tribune.

A desperate fight between man and

The pedal clarionet," as it is not very
happily called, stands an octave below
the bass clarionet, and in one OF its two
varieties produces the lowest note yet

wonderfully distinct, even in its deepest
notes, and it is far more agreeable than
that of the double bassoon, with which

Where Is YOur Mouth?

It has been discovered that the human
mouth is slowly but surely and steadily
moving toward the left of the face, which
will, in time, bring it somewhere in the
neighborhood of the left ear. All the five
great races of man have an uncomfortable
tendency to eat only with the teeth which
grow from the left jaws. This wears out
the left teeth more rapidly than those on
the right side of the mouth, and this in
turn gives the upper and lower jaws an in
clination toward the left.
1t is the expressed opinion of many sci
entists who are foremost in the worlds roll
of professional honor that in the course Of
time the mouth, from causes above men
toned, will have completely changed it's
position, and that it will then be situated
rather nearer the left ear than to the nose.

frock coats according to the best American

the party arrived at the palace the colored

he could realize the situation was ushered
alone into the presence of royalty. There
is no color prejudice on the other side, and
he was taken for the chief representative
of the American republic. When he es-
capped from the unexpected prominence it
was to find himself alone in strange

man frequently relates with glee how he
