Teaching q Girl a Lesson.

She happened to catch a Greene and
Gates avenue car that was crowded with
business men on their way to the bridge
and a sprinkling Of women and school
boys. She looked around in vain for a
seat, but the men had their noses buried
in newspapers and possibly did not see
her. She stood almost directly in front
of gallant schoolboy who was studying
Caesars Gallo Wars" and he arose and
proffered his seat. The young woman,
without even a nod Of acknowledgment,
Topped down with an injured express
sion, as though she was just inheriting
her rights, which shs should have come
into long ago.
Excuse me-" said the youth, mis-
chievous twinkle Illuminating his eyes,
"but think left one Of my books on
the seat" --a- 49,. ....s ....t
At this point everybody looked mp,
seemingly all at once, and saw the young
woman rise, and the Young man reseat
himself, with a very audible Thanks"
That young woman's embarrassment
was painful. Everybody was smiling.
and not few old dodgers chuckled. 1t
was a cruel thing to do, and, as the
young fellow says, he did it all on the
spur of the moment, and would proba-
bly, not have done it had he thought
twice. However, he has evidently taught
one young woman the appropriateness
of gratitude. even in small things

The Modern French Girl.

There are no French grisettes nova
days. The sunny, trim little maid who
has done such admirable service in play
and romance has disappeared. The race
has given way to another-one more
worldly wise, more mercenary.
The grisette had illusions. She be-
lieved the student she loved would be a
great man some day. So she worked for
him, earned two or three dollars week
making artificial flowers, passementerie
or the like.
But the young person who has taken
the place of the grisette is of an alto
gether different class-more modern,
more practical, less given to illusions
and romance and with tolerably well de-
fined notions as to the value of money.
Her ideas of dress are always expressed
in the very latest fashion. She has per-
feet taste in the combination of colors
and the arrangement Of drapery.
If the conversation takes personal
turn she will let you know, with the
most charming amiability, that she is
the daughter of a colonel-generally
colonel in retirement-and that she has
been only short time out of such and
such convent, where she was educated.
She is almost always pretty, of agree
able manners and rather intelligent,
though she firmly believes that man
with hunchback is sure sign of good
luck.-lrish Times

Hayden, Northcote and Opie.

Hayden was then eighteen "a slim,

thusiasm of youth and health beaming

PATHS Wonderful Castle.


The house in which Patti lives is one
of the most interesting of homes. Craig
y-Nos castle, as the songstress has chris
tened it, is hidden away in the wild hills
of the Swansea valley of Wales. II
would be one of the most inaccessible
spots imaginable were it not for little
railway which runs within four miles of
it. In pleasant weather it would be diff
ficult to find prettier bit Of landscape,
but in wet and wintry weather, when
storms sweep through the valley and
transform the tumbling little Tawy
river into a foaming torrent, it is good
place to keep away from. PATHS rea-
son for choosing home there was a
good one The peculiarly moist atmos-
phere of the place suited her voice better
than any other locality she could find on
the English side of Dover straits. Hav-
ing once determined where she would
live, Patti began to build home con-
sistent with her ample ideas of comfort
and luxury.
The most remarkable thing about
Craig-y-Nos is that such an establish
ment is to be found in such remote
part OF the country. 1t is very much as
though Jay Gould had built his Irving
ton palace in the heart of the Adiron-
dacks instead of on the slope of the
Hudson river. In point OF architectural
beauty or extent of acreage it would be
absurd to compare Craig Nos with any
of the great ancestral estates of the Eng
lish aristocracy. The castle takes its
name from huge, i'll shaped hill called
Craig of the Night. To get around this
hill and make her house moderately ac-
cessihe from the railway station Patti

reply to the what will you take to

served US, ordered glass Of iced tea,
while lille, who wanted beside the fluid
little merriment to aid digestion, said:
'FYou may bring me glass of tactical

The ebonized dispenser of grub, with
a confident "All right, boss" left for
the kitchen, where, the supposition is,
he expected to find some one who could
translate Hile's order to his vernacular,
but apparently he was disappointed, for
after minutes absence he returned
with but one glass - that contained
trapped tea-and placing that before
me, he turned to Hile with:
what was dat you wanted, boss?'
My companion answered, "a glass Of
milk, you emphasized fool"
Again the waiter left, and coming
back in short time with a triumphant

London Children Have to Work Hard.

London Children Have to Work Hard.
The testimony of Mr.. Lakeman, fac
tory inspector, before the committee on
the store hours bill sitting at London,
revealed the terrible fact that the ordi-
nary time of boys and girls behind the
counter is eighty-four hours a week, or
fourteen hours day. But he knows of
neighborhoods where the stores are
kept open for ninety-six hours a week,
Or an average of sixteen hours day.
All the employees are expected to be
present during the whole day, beginning
at a. m. and lasting till 10 at night.
The lower the neghborhood the longer
the hours during which the stores are
kept open. In some parts where labor
ers dwell stores will be open on Satur-
days from 6 a. m. till midnight. Mr..
Lakeman said that anBInia, dyspepsia,
and even varicose veins were produced
In girls of sixteen to eighteen years
through long hours in stores. On busy
days the employees were not allowed
more than ten minutes for dinner out of
their sixteen hours Of work day and
40 time for tea. The majority of store
keepers, he said, would hail with Joy a
law enforcing uniform limit of keep
ing stores OPEN Chicago Herald.

Gold Which Tourists Leave in italy,

How does Italy, country without
gold mines, find the gold to pay the ten
millions year due to foreign holders Of
her bonds, not to speak of the heavy bal
ance against her on her foreign trade?
Mr.. Dering, secretary of the British en-
bassy in Rome, declares that the only
solution of the question at which it is
logically possible to arrive is that this
amount of gold is annually brought into
the country by foreign travellers, who
swarm during the four seasons of the
year in one part of Italy Or the other.
From calculations made by the United
States consular representatives in vari-
Gus parts of this country it has been
computed that for the last ten years the
average expenditure in Italy of Ameri-
can citizens has been about Ct, 900, 900.
Mr.. Dering thinks it would scarcely be
an exaggeration to place the collective
expenditure of British, French, Austrian,
German and other foreign travellers at
double this amount.
This, we are reminded, is irrespective
of the money spent in the country by
the $4,000 to 10000 pilgrims who annu-
ally visit the Eternal City, and of the
amount of which they are the bearers in
the shape of donations to the holy see.

The subIiraest Poem of Antiquity.


The subli1nest poem Of antiquity is
imp. rsonal, yet written in the Hebrew
tongue, The book of Job, the life
drama OF. the Man of ", towers with
no peak near it; its authorship lost, but
its fable associated in mind with the
post-Noachian age, the time when God
discoursed with men and the stars hung
low in the empyrean. 1t is both epic
and dramatic, yet embodies the whole
wisdom of the patriarchal race. Who
composed it? Who carved the Sphinx
or set the angles of the Pyramids? The
shadow of his name was taken lest he
should fall by pride, like Eblis. The
narrative prelude to Job has the direct
epic of simplicity-a Cyclopean porch
TO the temple, but within are heaven,
the angels, the plumed lord of evil be-
fore the throne of judicial god. The
personages of the dialogue beyond are
firmly distinguished: Eiphaz, Bildad,
Zophar, Elihu-to whom the inspiration
of the Almighty gave understanding
and the smitten protagonist himself,
majestic in ashes and desolation.
Each outvies the other in grandeur OF
language, imagination, worship. Can
there be a height above these lofty ut
terances? Yes; only in this poem has

voice made audible aaif an added rangf

His opinion Of Wagner.

He often said that "thaout no lisre-

some bosses he'd full as much sense as

sation was tinged by this belief, ana he
drew many an illustration from his fay-
orite animals. On one occasion tbis
habit of his was the cause of mucIco
fusion to a young man to whom Mr..
Stone was talking.
The young man was a professional
musician who had been spending mart
of the summer at a neighboring farm
house, and had had the audacity to fall
in love with Mr.. Stones pretty daughter
Jenny. He was listening to the farmers
various reasons for opposing his suit
one summer evening, just before his re-
turn to the city.
"For one thing" said Abijah Stone.

"Was that piece you played t. tn con-
cert in Taown hall by Mr.. Wagner"
interrupted Abijah.
"It was" replied the pianist, with a
glow of reminiscent pride in his late per-
Torrance.
"Well, then," said Mr.. Stone, with a
peculiar expression at the corners of his
mouth, you might lead my Jenny up t.
