THE VALUE OF RELIABILITY.
Quality that Banks High Among Pusi'
ness Men.

ness Men.
"No, he is not as capable as the man
we had before, neither is he as intelli-
gent or well up in the business, but he
ls absolutely reliable, and for that rea-
son much more valuable to Ms than the
other"
This remark made by New York
business man when speaking of chang
ing employees, is the key to u great
deal of the best success in the world.
No matter how brilliant, competent,
fat-seeing or comprehensive man
iiiay be, if II u Understood that he can
not be couited on In emergencies, or
that at any time he Is likely to be alb
sent or incapacitated, his market value
drops at once.
The men who have achieved the
greatest success in this world are those
who were constant in season and out OF
season, ever ready for duty, ever on the
alert for new ideas and avenues of
either usefulness or the acquiring of
knowledge.
II inay be questioned whether relia.
bility is not first, last and all the time
the best recommendation for an EN-
ploye, for with it all other qualities be-
come of four-fold value; without it, the
best talent and most intelligent service
are cheapened, and become merely ac-
cidental factors in the general sum
ming up.
One OF the first lessons that a young
ifian should learn is fuithfulness to
dtty ahd trustworthiness in small mat
ters. Having these, the foundation Of
prosperity is laid, atd If TO sueh char
acteristics are added d determination
to become absolute masters of the btisi-
ness and the capacity to grasp the vari-
Gus requirements, the highway to
wealth and standing is well laid out.
= Let it once be understood that a man
is strictly reliable, that he can be
counted on in all the ordinary emer-
gencies of life, and confidence and un-
limited credit are within his reach.
Many man has reputation Of
far greater value than bank de-
posit, for that by some accident
may be destroyed or diverted
from its legitimate purpose, but
the name is guarantee for all its
owner promises. In years past, when
values had more fixed standard, when
there was less speculation and not as
much of what is called trading upon
paper" as at present, the statement
that mans word was as good as his
bond was more common thai it is now
adays. To have this said of man, es-
pecially one who is comparatively
young, is the greatest compliment that
can be paid him.
There is nothing in which a young
business man should take more pride
in, than in the reputation that what
ever he pledges himself to do will with
in all human probability be faithfully
performed.-N. Y. Ledger.

Lnplanders at the Fair.

When the next worlds fair is held II
is not probable there will be any Lap
landers present. Ten years ago there

sand Death and amalgamation are
making away with them as distinc-
tive branch of the human family.
Ethnologically this may be the truth.
1t doesn't seem to agree very well with
what old King Bull, the head of the
Midway solony, claims for himself and
family. Bull says he is one hundred
and twelve years old. His son, Balls
Bull, he says is ninety years of age.
Balls Hygd Bull, the grandson, is sew
enty-three, Balls Hygd Bull has a
daughter fifty-nine years old, and her
son is forty-one. The grandson OF Balls
Hygd Bull has son twenty-nine years
old. The daughter of this twenty
nine-year-old Bull is fourteen, and she
has little girl two years old. Thus,
it appears, according to old King Bull,
that eight generations of his family are

TWO FRIENDS.
Hermit Crab Of the Mediterranean and
the Sea.Anemone.

tne Sea"AnemOne.
Some crustaceans hide their shells
Under another sea creature, apparent
ly to protect themselves. A certain
hermit crab found in the Mediterranean
sea Is fond of sea-anemone, and it is
unusual to find she'll which hermit
has chosen for his house unprotected
by his anemone friend. A gentleman
relates that he captured and put in
large aquarium one of these sea-ane-
mones, on shell in which was a her
init crab who seemed already to have
outgrown his house.
"All went well for awhile, he writes,
"then the hermit grew so large that he
had to leave his shell and abandon his
friend. An hour after the hermit left
his old shell looked at the aquarium
again, and was surprised to find the
sea-anemone on top of the new shell
which the hermit crab had adopted as
his dwelling. They both seemed very
well satisfied.
"How had the anemone come there?
/ soon found out. | cautiously lifted
the shell to the surface of the water
and let the anemone fall to the bottom
of the aquarium, then | put the shell
down near it.
"Hardly had the crustacean touched
bottom before he seized the anemone
with one claw, then with two, and I
saw at once what he intended to do.
"With great care he went to work to
replace the anemone on the shell. He
found the anemone upright again.
Then he graspcd it firmly with two
claws, and raised it and placed it on
the shell. For twelve minutes he re-
mained perfectly motionless, pressing
it firmly on to the shell all the time.
Then he very cautiously took away
first one claw and then the other.
81 was pleased to see that when he
moved, the sea anemone remained in
place, as firmly fixed as the energetic
little crab could wish. Youths Com.

BLoWED ON THE OFFICE BOY.
How the Latter Got Square on the Blonde
Typewriter.

The office boy and the blonde type.
writer had quarreled. 1t was over
trivial matter, to be sure, but neverthe.
less they were on the outs.
Both seemed spitefully revengeful,
and when one day the office-boy played
off sick and went to the baseball game
the typewriter made known to the EN-.
ployer the youths sporting proclivities.
This, as might be expected, caused
trouble, and the wrath of the office.
boy against the young lady with nimble
fingers increased more and more. Days
passed and the lad planned and dreamed
of schemes to "get back" at his fair
tormentor, who stood so well in the
graces of the employer. Now on every
typewriter there is small gong which
rings when the end of the line is
reached. The Office boy knew this, and
as he watched the prettily-tappered
fingers throw back the carriage at each
tap of the bell he smiled with fiendish
glee.
1t was late in the afternoon. The
young lady was industriously tapping
the keys to finish the firms correspond.
ence. She had reached the last letter,
and remarked to the Office boy that her
best young man was going to take her
to the theater that evening. Hence her
hurry. This only made the Office boy
smile all the more, for he knew that his
time had come. His eyes seemed to say:
Revenge is sweet" The young lady
slipped the sheet Of paper into the ma
chine, and began at lightning speed to
write from her notes.
The youth watched the carriage slid.
ing to and fro. He took from his poolx-
ct rusty nail, and, as the typewriter
wrsee "a unconsciously, he tapped the
bell lightly with the nail. The young
lady, never thinking, pushed the paper
up another line and went on. Again
the boy tapped the bell, and again the
young lady turned the machine. This
was kept up until the maiden had writ.
ten all there was to write.
A small figure had sneaked easily
out of the door. The blonde withdrew
the sheet from the machine. She looked
at it, and looked again and saw before
her letter written something after
the fashion of the latter day step-lad-
der poetry. Not single line was prop
erly written. The girl grew thought
full She seemed to remember that the
bell had wrung a trife oftener thar
