ticeship and knows his business from
the ground up. He is now nearly
fifty years old and has been in active
political life for thirty years. He
was elected Alderman when only
twenty-three years old, serving sew
eral terms. He held many successive
offices, finally becoming Fire Commits
sioner under Mayor Edison and being
reappointed by Mayor Hewitt.
Croker is an Irishman by birth, but
he has been a resident of New York
City from infancy. His family was
an honorable one, his grandfather
having been an inspector general Of
the British army, an uncle a membNr
of parliament from Cork, another
uncle a captain in the army, while
other relatives were prominent in So
cial and political circles. His father
was a farmer and an educated man,
who emigrated to America to better
his position. He served as an officer
during the war in Gen. Sickles'
brigade and in the Tenth New York
Engineers.

A Ohinese Courtship.

In his own fIowery kingdom the
heather Chlnee who desires to be.
come benedict does not dream of
approaching his desired bride I'M
til he has heard what her father
has to say. The interview with papa
on these occasions is largely occupied
by prolonged haggle over the
amount the sutton is to give until
the bargain is adjusted to mutual
satisfaction.
Then the sutton, highly perfumed
with assafetida, which is the smart
scent among Chinese, as it was
among the Carthaginians, calls on, the
brides mother and is introduced to
the bride, whom, it must be under
stood, he has not yet seen. The
visit consists largely of bowling, scrap
ing, fourishing the hands, cringing
in every posture, every kind of cere-
monial and very little conversation.
The lover does not speak one word
to his intended, and seldom glances
toward her. Usually singing and
dancing girls come in and furnish di-
version. He remains in her presence
for two hours or longer, during the
whole of which time he does not get
a moment alone with his intended.
or even a fair look at her face--for it
is not etiquette for him to scrutinize
her too closely. When he has gone
he sends her presents.
1t is a good omen il he sends a gift
of egg shells painted every kind of
color
All his visits are conducted on the
same plan. He does not get direct
and full view Of her face until they
have gone away" that is, until she
has been brought in her palanquin
to his house.-New York Recorder.

There is nothing like presence OF
mind after all. The other day, dur.
ing a tremendous shower, a gentle.
man entered fashionable club, bear
ing a splendid ivory handled silk UNI
brella, which he placed in the stand.
Instantly another gentleman, who
was mourning the abstraction OF
just such an article, jumped up.
"Will you allow me to look at that?"
he said sternly. Certainly" re-
marked the umbrella-carrier. II was
just taking it to the police-station.
1t was left in my house last night by
burglar whom we frightened of.
I hope 1t will prove tlrst-rate clue. "
And, though the exasperated owner
could plainly see where his name had
been scratched off the handle, he sat
down and changed the subject.

whether you have lately been robbed
by any Of Your clerks?"
The merchant answered that moth
Ing OF the kind had happened. Why
was the question asked?
The prlstaf explained that, all
though the firm might have felt no
uneaslness about the proceedings Of
their clerk, Mr.. v, yet the police
had long had their suspicious, which
suspicious had eliminated in his ar
rest at the railway station that very
morning. Would the gentleman
please give orders to have the books
of the firm carefully gone over, to-
see whether there had been any de-
falcation?
With strong protests on, the part Of
the merchant against this unjust
treatment Of his trusty clerk, an ex-
animation was begun; and 1t soon
transpired that the Ilrm had been
plundered to the extent Of more than
twenty thousand rubles! 4
Then, of course. the merchant.
begged to know how the police had
become aware Of what was going on.
The officer explained that it was all
simple enough. Mr.. v had been
seen to be spending more mouey than,
a man in his position could be pre-
sumed honestly to have. Watch had
been kept upon him accordingly.
His champagne suppers, his boxes at
the opera, and such expenditures had
been recorded, 1t was known also
that he had made large remittance
to friend" in Paris, and so, when
he went to the railway station to buy
his ticket TO that city he was ar.

VINO Wore Darby and Joan2

The names Darby and Joan are now
synonymous with man and wife,
They originated in popular ballad
called "Darby and JOAN" written by
Henry Woodfall in the last century.
1t is not generally known that the
two characters Of the ballad were
real personages. John Darby and his
wife lived at Bartholomew Close, and
died in 1880, In the poem Joan gets
dissatisfied with being a household
drudge, and declares that her work
is harder than her husbands labors
in the field. He offers to exchange
places with her, and she consents.
The result is that both are quite con.
tent to go back into their legitimate
spheres.

sharp Watch.

The author of "Out of Doors in
Tsarland" says that no person can
live in Russia without being we'll
known to the secret police, in whose
records there is certain to be a long
and exhaustive account of his per-
sonal history, including a list of his
friends and associates, description
of his occupations and amusements,
and a general sketch of his character.
The author is disposed to think that
the police are not unnecessarily sus-
picious, and that they seldom COM
nit thu blunder of molesting limo
cent people. On the other hand, he
gives them credit for marvellous
acuteness in the detection of crime.
A foreign firm In st. Petersburg

He had been with them for many
years, and enjoyed the best of repu.

The island Of Madagascar has two
distinct climates, two classes of ma.
tives, and two classes of fauna and
flora. Along the coast it Is tropical
and malarious, and the natives are
darker and larger than ip the inte.
rior. The interior is a high table
land, and mountainous. There the
climate is cooler and the natives
smaller and lighter in color than on
the coast. But in the interior they
are more intelligent, and they rule

Novel Head Covering.

A daring young Southern girl has
almost discarded her hat at the sea-
side this summer, and has appeared
at all hours of the day land even in
the ballroom 1t is said), with her
head covered with an artistically
knotted bright silk handkerchief.
Nor, indeed, have these handker-
chiefs always been Of silk, for she has
not disdained the use even of the
ordinary bandanna, such as the old
Southern "aunties" wear. Though the
adornment was regarded as specially
fetching" in this particular in

would be becoming to many.

Krnnn,s StceI Works.

Herr Krupp's steel works at Essen
and elsewhere form, perhaps, the
largest private manufacturing estab-
lishment in the world. The town OF
Essen, which may be almost said TO
owe its existence to the Krupps, is
now a place of 10000 inhabitants,
and the works themselves cover /, 600
acres, and employ 25, 900 persons, who
live in 5000 houses, all of which be-
long TO the firm. There are eleven
large furnaces, l,542 smelling fur
naces, 439 steam boilers, 80 steam
hammers, the largest of which are of
1000 horse power apiece, $50 steam
engines, 1922 steam-drlven ma
Chimes and "a locomotive engines al
ways in use on the spot; and away
from his central foundry, Herr Krupp
possesses and works three coal min, S,
SAT iron mines in Germany, other
iron mines in Spain, and four ocean
steamers. He supplies his workmen
with almost everything they require,
and he maintains for their use an
hotel, eight beer saloons, mineral
water factory, flour mill, bakery,
slaughter-house, and fifty shops.
Krupp makes guns for nearly every
nation except England and France;
but he makes many other things be-
sides, The best proof of his fair
treatment of his men may be found
in the fact that, during the recent
labor troubles in Germany, although
100, 900 people were on strike in the
district Immediately around Essen,
not one of KrIpp's employees showed
the least trace OF discomfort.
