Tho Bachelor Girl.

a friend of mine (male), who is fussy,
unreasonable and likes to argue, said to
mo the other day: Il wish you wouldn't
call yourself a bachelor girl l don't
like it. 1t sounds too masculine. What
is bachelor girl anyway
"A fine institution, replied, "a prod
uct of the times. I deny that she is mas
culine. More self reliant than the aver
age woman and less dependent than most
men, she is still feminine and never for
gets the fact. She is always we'll dressed
and well informed. Above all she is in
dependent and fearless. Good nature
always attends her, and she is not
ashamed Of a hearty laugh. She can
appreciate good joke, q good horse or
a good picture. She will smoke cigar
cite before going to church on Sunday
morning and criticise the sermon at din
ner table with the keen logic of a doctor
OF metaphysics. She understands her
own temperament and pays enough at
tent1on to the laws of health to keep
herself robust aud wholesome. The
bachelor girl is not q man hater-no
woman is-but she prefers companion
ship to fattery." My friend was over
whelmed at this burst of eloquence.
Il greet you," he said as he lifted his
hat and passed on.-Miss Knickerbocker

A PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON.

The Peculiar Manner IN Which Approx
mate Time May BE Ascertaincd.
Actual and repeated experiments have
shown that the nearest hour of the day
or night may be ascertained in the fol-
lowing very curious way:
Make small running loop in piece
of sewing thread about a foot in length,
place q shilling in this loop, see that the
coin is accurately bisected by the thread
Ind then draw the loop tight up, so that
the shilling is firmly slung at enc end of
the thread. Put on o solid table glass
tu1nbler with o fairly wide mouth. Rest
your right elbow on the table III firm
and easy position so as to avoid any
shakiness in your hand, hold the other
end of the thread between your first
finger and the ssball" Of your thumb
i. c., the feshy top joint Of the thumb
so that the thumb nail is undermost and
a few inches above the middle of the
mouth of the glass.
Now, if you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement of the coin, which
is hanging inside the tumbler. will be-
come less and less until the shilling is
motionless. Then. in half minute or
so, very slight and regular vibration
will commence, the coin Oscillating from
side to side like pendulum and grad
ually increasing the length of movement
until it gently strikes the sides of the
glass. This strike goes on in the most
regular and automatic way-first on one
side Of the glass and then on the other
until, say, eight strokes have been struck.
The vibrations Of the coin then diminish
in length until the suspended shilling
again becomes motionless and hangs in
the middle Of the tumbler. You look at
your watch and ind that 8 o'clock is the
nearest houri
| have tried this over and over again,
deliberately setting about the experiment
without bias or any intention Of influ-
encing the swing of the coin and also be-
ing ignorant Of the time, and when my
hand has been steady the right time has
invariably been struck.
There is something very curious about
this phenomenon; whether the thread is
influenced by the pulse in the ''ball'' of
tho thumb or whether there is some I'M
conscious transference Of intention
from the brain to the thread do not
know, but in any case the matter is sufff-
GENTLY interesting to be worthy of a
critical test by persons who will care
fully, and without bias, carry out this
singular experiment of telling the time.

a Possibility.

Girls are so much moro clever as clerks
than men that the male clerk is doomed
to extinction like the dodo. The results
are disastrous both to women and to
men.
Every observer in cities must see that
nearly al classes of cl@cal work are
passing rapidly into the hands of young
women. These young women enter the
Offices with skillful fingers, winning
manners, Industrious ways and general
aptness to write letters, keep books, count
cash and discharge the multitudinous du-
ties attaching to business life. They do
their work satisfactorily and we'll.
Taken altogether they are neater, bet
ter behaved and quicker than young men.
The result is that these bright young fell
lows. capable of doing excellent work,
ere forced to toll for long hours, often
st nic', - for the munifcent salary Of $50
month. After two or three years of
hard and f,i-cul service promotion to
the $25 q month class is possible, while
$50 to $50 is the outside figure to which
q clerk may aspire if he ex.-.ti5s special
qualifications and sustained devotion to
his task.
If the next 90 years witness the same
relative increase in the number Of work
