She Got a Seat.

Avery pretty girl stepped into crowd
ed car on the College avenue line. She
belonged in the high school and wasn't
in the habit of standing up. The car was
full, but everybody else had a seat. Seven
men held down the most available ones,
and strange to relate, not one of them
appeared to be aware that young wom-
an was compelled to stand.
The pretty girl, with quick glance of
disgust about the car, took in the situa-
ton and blushed somewhat Indignantly.
She had long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to strap. Two
squares had been travelled when an idea
took possession of her classical mind.
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule, and the little
hands fumbled among a few silver coins.
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is part Of
the plan, but it is executed dexterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured, How awkward of me.
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but seven men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the point, as the artful
maiden dropped into comfortable seat
with sigh and deftly hid roguish smile.
The scent piece was rendered by man
who assumed her place at the strap. She
thanked him and looked all innocence

James Parton. pallr Life.

| James Parton would not do hasty
work. He was methodical, patient, reg
ular and persistent, and in time he had
become so able to control his mind that
1t responded TO his will like the body to
his mind. He did not tax himself to
work out great feats within a short time,
or if he was hard pressed he gave him
self rest as soon as the strain was over.
He did not burn midnight oil, neither
did he resort to wine or tobacco as stim.
ulants to his brain. He was one Of the
most temperate men have ever known.
He kept his faculties every day as near
as he could at their best, and life flowed
en- from day to day with an evenness and
a quietness that made bis home life not
only pleasant for others, but beautiful in
itself.
His habits were to breakfast about
half past T. then TO work in his garden
in the summer for an hour, and then to
shut himself in his worEroom, where he
could be sure to be undisturbed until
half past 12. Then he dined, and after
that, in his later years, took nap Then
he was ready for callers or visits to
friends, or for the reading which might
be required for the work Of the next day.
After tea he was usually the companion
of his family, hearing his wife or niece
read aloud some book or magazine, and
this was his daily round, unless broken
in upon, month after month, year in and
year out. He did not often go to Boston
or New York or seek large number Of
literary acquaintance, and yet he was
never unsocial. He was the light and
life Of two clubs in NewbuYyport, and he
was extremely fond of good square
talk, in which he was fred up to his ut
most.-Rev. j. II. Ward in New Eng
land Magazine.

CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

Ivan Levitte and Legare Rabinovitz,
representing the Russian Silversmith
Company OF Moscow, who had charge of
an exhibit in the manufactures building,
have been arrested and charged with
selling exhibits on which no duty had
been paid. They admitted their offense,
and were held to the grand jury. The
government will prosecute the men and
all similar cases hereafter.
The legal objections advanced against
West Point cadets going to the Worlds
Fair have been overcome, and acting
Secretary Grant sent the necessary in
structions to Colonel Ernst, superin-
tendent OF the Military Academy, for
the trip. The cadets will leave West
Point August II and remain at Chicago
ten days. They will be encamped in
Jackson Park during their stay.
The finances of the exposition are fast
assuming more satisfactory condition,
and the city OF Chicago is becoming truly
great for the large number of visitors
from abroad. An evening paper esti-
mates that in the period embraced within
the last 120 days of the fair sum rang
ing from $120, 900, 600 to $3.50, 900 will
be brought into Chicago by visitors and
left there. 1t is certain that every day
shows a gradual increase in the number
in attendance.
Mrs. Alice Houghton, the Lady Man
ager from Washington, has been in
much -1ustered state since she got back
to the Worlds Fair. 1t will be remem-
bered that $1,000 was appropriated for
the woman's department. Mrs. Hough-
ton has spent about 81 800 of this, and
now for no reason that can be learned
the Board of Lady Managers has refused
to forward her any more. She had not
even enough to pay the scrub woman
who condescends to holy-stone the floor
of her department. Mrs. Houghton has
had several conferences with DR.. CAL
houn over the matter, but the Executive
Commissioner is too shrewd to mix him
self up in any of the troubles of the la
dies, and so the matter remains in statu
quo. About 5000 was lost of the ladies'
fund in the failure of the Worlds Fair
Bank.

Presumably wholly satisfactory dog
story has yet to be written. 1t is rather
strange that so faithful, so beloved,
friend and companion as the dog has al
ways been to mankind should have 80
little, comparatively, written about him.
When we come to consider that COM
paniOnship and loyalty. we are compelled
to set it down as a remarkable piece of
ingratitude upon the part of man, not to
made his friend the dog more of figure
in the literature of fiction. Mrs. Bar
bauld is said to have written the first dog
story. We have never seen it. The
story of Rab is of course familiar to all.
Yet, however much of a classic it may
have come to be recognized, it is at best
fragmentary, and we must confess that
we do not share that enthusiasm which
is popularity expressed over it.
1t can be taken for granted that no
body but lover of the dog will write of
the dog. The fault that we have to find
with stories about dogs is their invari-
able lack of tenderness. When the dog
comes to die, his biographer invariably
dismisses that event with casual Poor
old doggy! He has gone where good dog
gies go-the good old doggies' heaven"
1t is as if the biographer were ashamed
to speak what his heart prompts; as if
he were controlled by that same curious,
awkward. wicked sense of pride which
makes the simple fellow feign snicker
or laugh during the progress of an emo
tional drama, at the very moment, too,
when lump is in his throat and his eyes
are brimful of tears. Chicago News

Nothing is wasted in China. The

Fancy being confronted with the ques-

you prefer?" and only half of a rather
narrow page in which to inscribe the an
swer How could one answer such a
question in such space? for ones ideas
as to food and drink vary so much with
the hours of the day. Morning, tea or
coffee very likely, with breakfast bacon
or kidneys or fried sole or plain boiled
eggs, But who wants boiled eggs and
coffee at his luncheon? Then, again, dry
champagne is generally favorite drink
at dinner, but we do not usually care for
it at luncheon, and late at night most
men have a preference for whisky and
soda and would not care in the least for
Pommery or Roederer. Then man may
have strong liking for oysters, and also
for olives, and how is he to get in all
his opinions on these various questions of
taste as to food and drink2-Exchange

How the system Of Tipping Has Degene.-

Complaints of the tipping system. OF

ing the cafes about town that ~insolence
among walters has visibly increased.
Everybody who knows anything about
New York knows what that means-an
exceedingly disagreeable state Of affairs.
The evil is worse in proportion to the
respectability of the place." says a man
about town. I'm other words, the more
expensive the meal the more liberal the
tip. and the more insulting the walters
if it does not come up to their ideas Of
what the amount of the tip should be-"
l have been making some personal in
vestigations III this line myself and I'M
hesitatingly indorse the above opinion.
I have found that in every instance the
waiter expected a tip whether he had
served well or not. and that this expecta-
ton is made S o BADLY apparent that the
attention of everybody in the vicinity is
called to the fact to bear unwilling wit
ness as to the extent of your liberality.
Also that too small a tip will subject
you to more pronounced insult that none
at all; that any effort to correct abuse
of this character by reporting the serv-
n is more likely to multiply your bad
treatment than to reduce it.
II the executive clerk or proprietor
does not recognize in you a valuable GUS
toner of the place, the chances are two
to one you will be received with more
contempt than You got at the hands of
the waiter. No one man in 500 thus Of
Tended ever complains-he simply doesn't
go back. Most city men and travellers
are not easily offended by walters. Fa-
miliar with the ways Of the waiter, they
either pay up or ignore the intended Of
Tense. 1t is the sensitive man who is the
more readily blackmailed, or who, re-
sisting the levy, feels more keenly the
insolence of the mental.
In my experiments, conducted at six
different respectable restaurants, I found
that the poorest walters, the men who
gave the poorest service, were the most
offensive. At one place where, at the
suggestion of a friend interested in this
class Of human nature, we Went back tc
the same waiter on the next day, there
was such a visible reluctance to serve
US that we Were compelled to call the
head waiter before we could get any,
thing to eat. As my rule is to reward a
servant proportionately for extra service
and attention, and as some Of these men
rendered this service and got nothing, ]
cherish 70 hard feelings against them
for the look of cold disappointment with
which they greeted our departure. In
discriminate tipping has made tipping
useless practically, SO far as good service
Is concerned. 1t has become merely so
much blackmail, and the poorest service
demands and receives the same reward
earned by and cheerfully paid the best.
Men are awful towards and would rather
be robbed outright than thought mean
even by a waiter.-New York Herald.
