The Way Women Do.

IF men were as economical In their
social relations as women are we would
not be such nation of spendthrifts,"
said T. B. Rose, of Minneapolis. s'Iwas
impressed with the force of this idea to-
day by an observation begun in cable
car and pursued through dry goods es-
tablishment and restaurant. I saw
two ladies chatting together intimately
on car, and when the conductor ap-
preached them to collect the fares one Of
them had no change. The other offered
to pay for her companions ride, but the
latter wouldn't submit to the PROPOSE
ton. Instead she borrowed nickel
from her friend, remarking as she did
SO that she would break bill as soon az
she got down town and repay her. Ny
curiosity was excited to see if women
really dealt that way with one another,
so followed the two after they got of
the car. They FIRST entered dry goods
store, where the borrower made small
| purchase, and as soon as she got hex
change she handed her friend Ave cents
which was received without the slight
| est protest.
Then they went into restaurant to
get lunch. Each gave separate ordsrs
and the bill of each amounted to thirty
cents. They marched up to the cashier
and each paid her own bill. Now, these
are small transactions, but they are in
dicative of the difference in the charac,
tcrs of men and women. Had the objects
of my observations been men instead Of
women, the man who offered to borrow
nickel for car fare would have insultet
the other, and one of them would hav,
ordered that dinner for both and pal,
the bill, which, may as we'll say, woul'
have amounted to dollars instead 0
cents. st Louis Globe Democrat.

Tho "Flrss Edition" Craze.

Is this hankering after first editions
but mere craze or fashion2-in which
case would venture to predict that
when the book loving and book buying
public once begins to consider seriously
what 1t Is that really constitutes the
value of any first edition the ridiculous
and artificially enhanced prices Of such
issues will fall.
Upon this public weakness, whether
fostered by sentimental or any other
feeling, the booksellers are now trading
and are in the habit of calling attention
in Roman capitals in their catalogues to
first editions Of almost every conceiv-
able book--of course at the same time
adding correspondingly increased
price to books which are hardly worth
purchasing in any edition.
For the present great demand for first
editions the keen competition among
English speaking peoples from abroad
for any book of special value now
offered for sale may be in great de-
gree responsible, aided by a large class
of unreasoning beings who buy books
merely because they are first editions,
and who by dint of their long purses are
able to crush in where angels fear to
tread" These are they upon whom
ordinary book lovers look with dread,
and the booksellers not always with
approval. Notes and Queries.

Pets of English Regiments.

1t may not be generally known that
there is special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have q goat,
They are very ancient corps, and at an
early period of their existence it was the
custom to have goat with shield and
garland on its horns to march at the
head of the drums. Every LIST Of March
being the anniversary of their tutelary
saint, David, the officers used to give an
entertainment, and after the cloth was
taken away a bumper was filed around
to the Prince of Wales, and the goat,
richly caparisoned for the occasion, was
led thrice around the table In procession
by the drum major.
In 1884 the then regimental goat Of
the Welsh Fusiliers died and her mai
esty presented the regiment with two OF
the finest goats from fock-the gift of
the shah of Persian Windsor park,
and since that date the queen has con-
tinued to supply the Welsh Fusiliers
with goats as occasion required. The
pet of the Second battalion Derbyshire
regiment used to be ram; that Of the
Eighth Kings Royal Irish light dra-
goons, now hussars, horse; the Royal
Warwickshire had an antelope, the Ros-
shire Bluffs deer and the Fifteenth
lancers tiger.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A s.gwe.t,on Abovt p,,n.r.

The next time you give dinner give
good one. Do not feel that because
you can afford it your dinner must con-
sist OF complex, mysterious, rich, indi-
gestible dishes No one wants them.
All men hate them. When a man goes
to restaurant he never orders such
medley for himself He never wishes
them on his own table. Few women
care for them, and not one person in fifty
can digest them with comfort. AL
though such dinners are very common
in New York, they are not given be-
cause we desire or respect them, but be-
cause we are d rich and vulgar people
without the ability to realize our vul-
garity.
There are many people in this city,
and happily the class is growing, who
have the good taste and courage to offer
q simpler dinner to their guests Such
dinners can be as long and as dainty as
the most fastidious may desire, and they
are infinitely more satisfying. Try to
bear in mind that dinner consisting Of
complex and mysterious dishes is only
development OF American vulgarity.
When woman gives such dinner you
are correct in surprising that either her
own taste is vitiated and false or that
she does it because she thinks it 1.-THE
proper thing" In either case it indi-
Gates the presence OF more money than
intelligence

A Rrnon, snannIatinn.

A 8-foot Yankee, seated upon load of
brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected to find purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place:
Yankee-Can't | sell you load Of
brooms today, mister
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em-sell 'em dog
cheap.
Dealer-Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms.
Yankee-I1l tell you what I'll do. If
you'll take the lot I'll let EN- go for one
dollar dozen, You know they're with
double that.
The dealer stroked his chin for mo-
ment, as If in deep thought, and thenre-
piled:
"Well don't want any brooms, as
told you, but / don't mind making a
trade with you"
/ Yankee-Wh sort of a trader
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half in
trade.
Yankee-No you don't misterl You'll
charge me such an all feed profit on the
other half that / might come out at the
little end Of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me.
Yankee-Wall, mister, that's what
call square dealin. lisa bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in a pile on the sidewalk. When
be got through he walked into the store.
"There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which cslcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dellarsP
Yankee-Wall, I dunno. You see,
mister, l hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess I'll take brooms.

A Pitiful sight.

prominent farmer and stock raiser of
South Dakota, "and there witnessed q

The True Atrial.

Henry Norman gives the following
instance of modest self estimate in the
case of man who is one of the most
skillful and original artifcers in the
world, and whose works are everywhere
admired:
This ivory carver sat in his little room,
open to his little garden, chiseling upon
magnificent tusk, from which was
just emerging q very graceful female
figure. The ivory he held between his
knees, and the tools were spread out at
his side.
"How long will this take your
asked.
"About four months" he replied.
''And what is the proportion between
the value of the material and the value
of the labor in such work as this when
completed?'
II paid $40 for this piece of ivory, y
said he, and four months work, at 800
a month, is 5000"
And this man was estimating his work
at less than forty American dollars y
month"; His was the true artists tenn
permanent, for he was willing to accept
only what would supply him with the
necessaries of life, depending for his
actual reward on the joy Of seeking to
do perfect work.
Are you not very sorry sometimes,
asked |, ito part with one Of these works,

of your life for so longf
He looked up for minute at great

garden, and then gently shook his head.

His Rebuke.

Much of the music sung in city
churches would scarcely be character
lied as Sacred" IL 1t were heard any
where except in the house of God. And
there are some odd people who even in
this age Of progress consider that such
music belongs rather to the concert
room than to the church.
Parson Snow was one of these people,
and when he Exchanged" one Sunday
with an old college friend who was set
tied over large city parish he was both
amazed and shocked by the vocal dis
play-the anthem-with which the
members Of the choir electrified the con-
gregation.

brokenhearted widower received permits
sion from the missionary board of his
church to come home. Here he promptly
consoled himself, and with his second
