The Salvation Array has in London

of employment find work. il has been
extraordinarily successful. During the
first year thirteen hundred employers
found servants, and thousand girls
applied for work.
Strange applications come TO the OF,

parting servant as clean, tidy, honest,
sober, truthful and a good worker.
Wondering why maid and mistress
should part under these conditions,
the bureau found that a terribly bad
temper was the cause of separation.
But. strangely enough" said the
chief, ~it happened that lady had
just applied TO us for servant with q
bad temper, believing that sncb girls
make the cleanest handmaids. So we
are able to meet every requirement.

The Bashrui Mans Blunder.

d Sashful young man had tender
regard for the daughter Of certain
farmer living moi great many miles
from this city. The Young man in
question had acquired the habit of
visiting the young lady, who was the
subject of his affection, Oh Sunday af-
ternoon. AS time wore on the young
man began to feel more at home on his
visits to the farmhouse, and from an
occasional stopping for supper II grew
TO be tho regular thing with him to eat
supper with his prospective parents-in-
law. This was very agreeable TO tho
young man. but quite the contrary to
the parents-in-aw.
He was treated coolly by the old
folks, but the warmth of his own feel
ings for the young lady and the re-
ciprocity by the young lady was such
that slight coolness was not felt.
Upon one Of the occasions when the
young man was taking Sunday supper
with the family the good housewife had
prepared q bountifnl supply of bis
cults. When they had seated them
selves Mt the table the prospective
father-in-law passed the plate OF bis
cults to the bashful young man.
Have n biscuit?" he said.
The bashful Young man set one OF
the steanling biscuits beside his plate.
"Hayc another, they're small" the
fathcr-in-law said.
The bashful young man timidly took
another and placed 1t beside the first.
"Haye another, they're very small"
Again the young man, lacking the
courage 10 decline. took biscuit.
The fatherin-law to-be then dumped
the whole contents Of the plate in front
