 Market night in a dull, drab suburb. Every shop is open and every chop keeper is ''slamming it like a good 'gn" -is believing out the excessive and cz- traordinary cheapncss Cf lis wares. From the low, gray clouds a fine driz.lc of rain, like pepper from castor whose top is too iberally priciSco, in the hand of an injudicious coo-1, falls upon an abundance of pale men cnd dowdy women with basket and bags of cauliflowers and the like. It is hr mid and spiritless; the one thing for men and women to do is to get home and draw the blinds between them selves and the elem nts and try to re- member that they are women and men. They think so, too, and To! bridge.
 Here is a canal in whose flood even street arabs decline to lave their plant limbs. Infinite and innumerable gene rations of cats have found herein the term of perplexed and amorous and vag9bond mortality; yet here, in tl,c foul drizzle, is an old man fishing. Sol itary, hopeful, moist, he sits upon 2 camp-stool by the vile waters, peering through the gloom at a certain ] toat Of quill-sulking, immovable, now and anon the rallying point of little hest of twigs and their attendant scum.
 Here he sits, this very minor sports man, scornful of discomfort, needless of jeers from the bridge, troubled only by the knowledge that the night is come when no man fisheth, and that here will soon be nothing for him but home and a cozy room and tobacco in 6 comfortable armchair.
 It may be that in his time he was runner, and that once the Goddess Handicap, the true Bona Dea, was good to him. It is probable, for when a cer- ain stile is reached ''Excelsior!'' is no more q cry for men. And in declining rom the cinderpath upon his angle this excellent old fisherman is but type of the race.

New Rules of Politeness.

| In certain private schools of Brooklyn new rules of polteness are enforced. It is no longer proper for the little pupils to say 'Yes, sir" No, sir, ''Yes ma'am" and ''No, ma'a am" to their elders. Now the correct thing is "Yes, Mir. Brown" 1" ''No, Miss Smith, 7" and so on. If the child happens to be addressed by a strange lady or gentleman the child is instructed to reply: 'Yes, mister, " or "Yes, lady" At first this strikes the uninitiated as an unpleasant innova- tion, but it has obtained stronghold on the children, and they are rapidly making their parents converts to the new system.

The American Seaman.

In the United States navy the re1a- tions between seaman and officer have in them some touches of democracy. The clean, civil, sober, capable seaman is treated with high degree of consid- eration, and by the system of merit marks that prevail in the service he ob- tains frequent leave and is certain of promotion. Within twenty-five years there has been a vast improvement in the conduct of seamen, and Jack ashore is now not always bent on a debauch. An old naval story illustrates Jack as he was. Peterson, able seaman, had obtained leave, and the officer gives him a parting adnonition to keep sober and return on time. Peterson hears it all in respectful silence, and then, touching his hat says: Please, sir, then. why should go ashore?"

Beneath It Mans True Nature Is Close
 ly Concealed.
 ''Let me see a man asleep" said a shrewd reader of character, land can tell you what he is." And there is a strange truth in it. In sleep man is off his guard. The will no longer dom mates and the first nature comes back and asserts itself.
 A man can make his face say what he chooses when he is awake, but when sleep touches his face it tells the truth. The forced smile slips away and the cruel lines about the mouth stand out. The closed eyes shut out the look of de- termination that sometimes gets into a mans face without the reality in his soul and the childish indecision and ir- resolution that come back show the man is weaker than he makes you be- lieve.
 1t was half knowledge of this fact that caused a clever Frenchwoman to declare that she could never see her friends early in the morning because she hadn't her mask on. Her face hadn't got the soul out of it yet-or hadn't got the soul into it, which was it?-and she instinctively shut herself away from detection. We all juggle with our zeal selves and appear to be what we are not, more or less, but the truth does manage to get itself said somehow and sometimes ,E

.An Airy, Fairy Creature with a Temper of
 Her Own.

Ayoung man speaking of girl to a aatron of his acquaintance recently
 aid, according to the New York Re
 order:
 '0h, she's one of these fluffy girls"
 Ny dear boy," said the matron, what on earth is a fluffy girl?"
 Why, don't you know?" replied the young man. "A girl who has blue eyes, -olden hair, brilliant coloring and looks like a bit of Dresden china. A girl who i5 always hitched up in big armchair and has a plaintive little tale of woe to eonG3e to yoU-aot to you, my dear madam, but to me-to some man. The cirl who wears charming gowns, all irills and ribbons and hopelessly intri- ate to masculine eyes; who is always delightfully."- clean, with fresh-curled hair; who affects certain perfumes, has curious gestures and modes of eXpres- ion: who wears tinl1liug ornaments at her wrists and quantities of rings on her fingers; who abounds in parasols, fans and shawls, which we men carry trailing humbly about in her wake. This is the fluffy girl, and, my dear iady, long experience with her has taught me that she usually possesses a temper as fluffy as her gown"

Educational Progress in Africa.

When we remember that only ten years ago the people of Uganda and Victoria Nyanza were almost unknown to the world, it is surprising to read that the missionaries there recently sold, in few weeks, four thousand reading-sheets printed in the native language. They send word that they could sell ten thousand copies at once if they had them. They say that the people are most anxious to acquire the art of reading, and that their eagerncss for books is astonishing, 'As long as we had reading-sheet or Q book left writes one, "a crowd swarmed around us day and night, and hundre ds were Ii appointed when the supply gave put"

 An Edgar County NTsn Makes a Queer
 Mistake.
 One of the farmers living not far from this city, says the Kansas (Ill.) Jour nal, is never idle when there is any thing to do, and was greatly annoyed one evening lately on learning tha' through some mistake in his calcula tions he had lost an entire days worl on his farm. Through some unknown influence he awol7e on Friday morning with the Idea that the day was Satur day firmly impressed on his mind, ant the children were kept out of schoo and all of Saturdays work done. Sat urday morning, the family, after tht necessary work had been performed put on their best clothes, and the day was given over to rest and quiet. Oc. casionally a neighbOr would pass with a wagon laden with corn or some other marketable product. and the object of our sketch. who believes that six days diligent work should be followed by a day of rest, would breathe a silent prayer for the full forgiveness of his Sabbath-breal1ing neighbors. Thus mat ters quietly proceeded until in the even- ing, when one of the neighbor's chil- dren happened in, and being struck with the Sabbath-lil1e appearance of everything remarked: Whats the matter with you folks? What are you all dressed up for? This ain't Sunday" Our friend was dumfounded when he learned that he had lost an entire days work, and, excusing himself to the young lady, he hustled off, changed his Sunday clothes for his everyday ap- parel, and pitched into the work, en- deavoring to make up for lost time.

Feminine Superstition.

The elevator in one of the big news paper offices was filled with men. One woman, fashionably dressed, was a passenger. Next her stood a hunch- back-an aged man, meanly dressed and shrinking as far as possible out of notice. The woman looked at him with thoughtful air as if weighing vast pos abilities. Suddenly she leaned over and with the tip of her white-gloved finger daintily touched the hump of her neigh Dor. ''What was that for?" one man asked another in an undertone. Don't you know? For luck, was the answer. ''Touch a hunchbacl1 and bring good fortune is one of woman's pet supersti- tioas."

A new patent pianoforte desk has been issued. The desk is so made that while the frame is rested upon the lid of the pianoforte sliding arrangement permits of the music being brought to a level with the eye of the singer, or raised or lowered according to the wish of the performer. The desk is neatly made, is light in weight, and strong. The advantages are of such service that the patent will doubtless come into CeneTal ESe.

Hit le tail two or three times against any 1ard substance and it quickly dies. ne boas are not venomous, but their angs are sufficiently powerful to in- lict serious wounds, and large speci- mems have been known to swallow men whole. The case is related by the raveler Gironiere of criminal in tn 'hilippine islands who hid from justice in a cavern. His father, who alone new of his hiding place, went some lines to see him and to take him rice for food. One day he found instead of is son an enormous boa asleep.

RniIding Contracts.

Architects say that no more than one aouse in ten is finished at the time named in the building contract, and probably half the houses are com pleted from two months to year be- hind time. In large buildings the ia miliar device is a clause in the con tract forfeiting, on the part of the builder, q fixed sum for each days de- lay, but when such clause appears the contractor allows something for it in his bid, so that the choice is presented of submitting to delay or paying well for promptness..

 ''One's morals are not specially stim- ulated by the cutting of clothes, but the my sterious devices that certain of my customers insist upon attaching to the same led to my reform.
