THE .sPoTTER" MUST GO.

Street Car Conductors Are Too Famflfas
 With His Ways to Be Caught.
 .'The railroad spotter has about out lived his usefulness and will soon have to seek another occupation" was the re- mark of Broadway street car conduct or. Nearly all the spotters in the city are now known personally to all the con- ductors, for the new men are introduced to the conductors by means of a secret code of signals while they are being broke in
 The system of checking is also so well understood that the moment new spot ter commences he is himself spotted and laughed at. The most popular method is to read book and to turn over page every time passenger enters car or pays his fare.
 Many of the ladies who skim through . book carelessly as they ride on a car are spotters, and some of them are so careless that they use the same book day after day, never thinking that it must be spotted and detected. Other spotters of both sexes use row of pins, and act ing as though they were nervous trans fer them fromsone part of their vest to another. taking care to move one every time passenger gets on. Taking notes on shirt wristbands is much simpler and really attracts less attention, but it does not possess the desired mysteriousness and is seldom done.
 A book could be written on the jokes that are played on spotters after they be- come we'll known to the conductors. To accost one of these worthies personally and ask if the register is all right is an act resorted to in retaliation for special meanness, and the sting in this lies in the fact that the spotter knows that dis charge will follow if the company knows he has been recognized. Another plan is to purposely omit to ring up fares, but to keep careful track of the number taken. The spotter takes note of the omission and prepares a report to the superintendent. In the meantime the conductor has rung mp the fares, doing so the moment the spotter got off, and when the report is compared with the trip sheets It is found that the mistake has been made not by the man reported, but by the man or woman making the ECpOIb.
 But the conscientious spotter is not so much to be feared. The spotter who makes the lives of conductors miserable is the one who guesses. Instead of keep ing actual tab of the number of pas sengers some spotters will make an esti- mate and actually base report on it. This is as ridiculous as unjust, for while the trip cars are out the crowds are so large that the conductor himself could not make even an approximate guess as to the number of fares taken. Still some of the detectives in embryo will assume the ability of doing this, and more than one man has gone out into the world with a slur on his reputation for honesty becauseof this combination of idleness and conceit.-New York Telegram.

Why the Barher Was Silent.

A distinctive feature of one of the lux urious barber shops in the dry goods district is razor wielder who can out talk the traditional talkative barber. His tongue is seldom idle when he is at work, and were it not for the fact that he is barber of uncommon skill and neatness he would have been banished from the shop long ago. As it is, most of the customers put up with his chatter good naturedly, and some of them en- courage him to talk out of pure mischief One day last week an overworked and weary head of a department" in large dry goods house hurried into this par ticular shop for quick shave An in- voluntary shudder shook his frame when he saw that the only vacant chair be- ionged to the talkative barber.
 He nerved himself for the ordeal and was greatly surprised when the barber said nothing to him as he took his seat. His astonishment increased when he found that the usually loquacious artist was actually shaving him without say ing a word. The job was done quickly and neatly. and when the barber had finished the customer jumped up and ex- claimed enthusiastically: By love, that is the most restful shave ever had. Here's quarter for you. You seem to have turned over new leaf"
 The knight of the razor shook his head gloomily and muttered: Cant talk. Burned mouth with carbolic acid. Thought it was sherry wine. ."-New York Times.

Peculiar Plant Lice.

Livingstone tells of species of aphis, or plant louse. which inhabits the fig trees of Africa, which constantly distil water until it forms in great puddles on the ground underneath. There seems to be some contention among naturalists as to whether this insect distils its wa ter from the sap of the plant which it infests or the. atmosphere. Livingstone found some of them at work on a castor bean plant and set about making an ex- pertinent. When first surprised at their work. distillation was going on at the rate of one drop ev@~y 67 seconds. or about 5! tablespoonfuls every 24 hours.
 He destroyed the bark of the plant be- low them. and although it is known that sap must come from the earth they were actually distilling drop every five sec onds, the flow being 13 times greater u an it was the day before. He then gir- dled the plant SO deeply that it dried and broke off. Still the little colony of insect wonder kept at work, regularly distill- ing one drop every five seconds, while another colony on green twig only managed to distil a drop every F sec onds.-St. Louis Republic.

Forming Squares.

It is remarkable that recent tactics in the Soudan, when we formed squares to resist the rush of our fanatical oppo- nents, are simply copy of those which Napoleon was compelled to adopt in that part of the world nearly century ago. The Mamelukes, who were his most dan- gerous antagonists, were better trained and better mounted than any cavalry he had to bring against them, and, more over, greatly outnumbered the French squadrons. He was obliged, therefore, to rely entirely on his artillery and in- fantry. and these were formed into squares, with the guns at the angles, just as our troops were drawn up to stem the rushes at Fl Teb and Tamai
 At Ulundi our formation was the same, and, like us on that occasion, we read that Napoleon placed his baggage and cavalry in the center of the square, and when the foe was beaten launched the horsemen to the pursuit just as we loose our squadrons on the Zulus.-SaturdAy nsSisw.

It does not seem fair while our pulses are in full play of health that we serve our selves and serve the world and then make God at last the present of coffin. It from coast to coast, carrying cargoes for ourselves, and then when the ship is crushed on the rocks give to God the shivered timbers. It is great thing for a man on his dying pillow to repent better than never at all-but how much better, how much more generous, it would have been if he had repented 50 years before! My friends, you will never get over these procrastinations
 Here is delusion. People think, Il can go on in sin and worldliness, but after awhile will repent, and then it will be as though had come at the very start" That is delusion. No one ever gets fully over procrastination. If you give your soul to God, some other time than this, you will enter heaven with only half the capacity for enjoyment and knowledge you might have had. There will be heights of blessedness you might have attained, you will never reach; thrones of glory on which you might have been seated, but which you will never climb.
