No Place for "A Man.

There was bargain sale" of mems
gloves at one of the large shops few days
ago. and from early morn until dewy eve
lovely woman elbowed and pushed and
scrimmaged her way, and stood ten deep
around the bargain table, where an unfor-
tunate man clerk tried to answer ques-
tions, give opinions, find sizes and make
out checks all at one time.
During the afternoon misguided man,
who probably had heard of the sale, saun-
tered into the store and approached the
wall of femininity which guarded the glove
counter. Then his courage failed him.
One glance of sympathy passed between
him and the wild eyed clerk over the shout
ders of the fair mob, but that was as near
as he got to the bargain gloves. He walked
sadly out and bought his gloves at fur
nishng store
Thus it is that higher educated women
are assuming their divine inalienable
rights, while the tyrant man is being
forced to the wall.-New York Herald.

ASPIRATION.

The nightingale sat on a bough
And smoothed shining wing.
"Who taught you"-scoffed the terrapin-
"Who taught you how to sing?"
The nightingale blushed fiery red;
She had not been to school;
She unused on what the tortoise said,
And sighed, TWAS not by rule"
A rabbit skirted down the path,
A Advancing in the sun.
"Who taught you''-scoffed the terrapin-
"Who taught you how to rum"
The rabbit blushed IA fiery red,
He had not had master,
He flung his heels against his head
And tried to run the faster.
The nightingale she cracked her voice
Learning to sing by rule,
The rabbit broke his forward leg
In gymnasium school.
The terrapin, who could not sing,
Who could not follow after,
She sat beside her native spring
And shook her sides with laughter.

A wrinkle to shopkeepers.


A grocer in Vienna (North) has hit upon
an original plan of securing the custom of
all the servant girls in che neighborhood.
He has bought at the price of waste paper,
shoal of "penny dreadfuls," and uses the
single sheets for wrapping his wares in
such a way as to enable the kitchen or par
lor girl gradually to acquire the complete
work. Strange scenes are occasionally en-
acted in the grocer's shop. We will give
few instances:
please, Mr.. N, a loaf of bread, and
will you wrap it in the Son of the Ac-
cursed, number four, Ali that's all
right"
"One pound of coffee, Mr.. N, but l
want you TO put it in n paper bag made
out of the third sheet of the Blind Mans
Curse"
"Here, Fraulen Lottchen, two pounds
of'soap," says our tradesman, turning to a
third fair customer please notice the
wrapper. 1t contains the wonderful story
of the Marble Bride You shall have the
continuation the next time, so come to
make IA purchase" and addressing the as
sstant he calls out, Fritz, put down Frau
lein Lottchen for the Marble Bride sheet

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-Stephen
Cuneo, young carpenter, fell from a
scaffolding on Vallejo street this morning
and broke his neck. He is not only alive,
but is fully conscious and able to tell how
1t feels TO have ones neck broken.
Young Cuneo and another man were at
work on the residence of G. B. Cavaglia,
on Vallejo street, just above Powell.
They had erected a small scaffold and
were tearing down an old veranda, pre-
paratory to building a new one Cuneo
was on the scaifold and stepped upon
rotten piece of scantling which had been
used in the old veranda's construction.
1t gave way and he was thrown violently
to the ground, a distance of about twelve
feet. lie threw out his hands to break
the fall, but struck on the right side of his
head. When the other workmen reached
him he was conscious and said, II be-
ieve my neck is broken. 1 can't move"
The patrol wagon was summoned and
Cuneo was taken to the hospital. An eN-
animation verified his statement. His
head lolled from side to side. While ex-
amining him the physician did not
notice that his patients respiration had
completely stopped until the man began
to get black in the face. His head was
moved a little and he again breathed,
but said that something was choking
him. An examination showed that the
fourth and fifth cervical vertebra had
been dislocated and pressed forward into
the throat, obstructing it so that breath
ing was impossible, except when the head
was thrown well back. Cuneo's body,
from the neck down, was paralyzed, and
he actually seemed amused when the
Police Surgeon told him that his body
was dead, but that his head was all
right
Uuneo was stripped and bandaged
tightly to a board which protruded a foot
above his head. His neck was then
stretched by means of bandages under
his chin and Il sand-bag under the back
of his neck, and he was left extended on
the plank. His neck is kept rigid by an
appliance that resembles an overhead
check on a horse. The chances for
Cuneo's recovery are exceedingly small
about one in thousand.
