Wholesale Business Houses.

An Odd Typo of Man Peculiar 60 tho
Wholesale Business Houses.
From all outward appearances the
most important men-in their own es-
,timation-in the large wholesale dry
goods establishments of the city arc
the doorkeepers. In this respect they
occupy positions analogous to their
prototypes, the foor-walkers Of the re-
tail establishments, says the New York
Herald.
No doubt the positions have their re-
sponsibilities, and what positions have
not in large business honse, from the
humblest two-dollar-a-week Office boy
and porter to the head of the establish
ment? Responsibility, therefore, is not
monopolized by the doortenders and
affords no reason for the fine assump-
ton of superiority which the actions
Of the men imply.
The duty of the doorkeepers is pri-
marily to take the time of the sales
men and clerks on entering and leav-
ing the stores. shaking hands swith hay
seed customers and bawling out the
names of the statesmen they desire to
see in stentorian tones. In addition to
these they are expected to exclude
peddlers and beggars and to see that
no one removes small parcels of mer-
chandise unless they bear the proper
''out check" Of some one in authority.
1t is in the manner in which these
simple duties are performed which
makes many of the doorkeepers ridicu-
ious. They would be obnoxious were
they not so supre mely Absurd. In .

house overawes little messenger boys
and creates in the minds of some OF
the firms humber customers an i'm
preston that he is powerful factor in
the firm.
This latter quite possibly is what
the man desires to do, for as sup
posed power these simpletons seek to

The vender, in return for his favored

mitted to enter the store without tho
understanding that he is to give the
doorkeeper paper. Such are the per-
quisites of the position of doorkeeper

MEN TIGERS OF INDIA.
A Strange Superstition Of the Ignoran
Natives.

Strange Superstition Of the Ignorant
Natives.
The belief is very general through
out India that men are turned into
tigers by eating of certain root. It
is supposed that tigers who destroy
many human beings are men who have
partaken of this peculiar root. The
Sarimant, chief of Deori, related to the
author Of "Rambles and Recollections"
the following anecdote:
''The tigers which now infest the
woods from Sagar to Deori are neither
more nor less than men turned into
tigers-a thing which often takes place
in the woods of central India. The
only visible difference between the two
is that the metamorphosed tiger has
no tail, while the lora, or ordinary
tiger, has very long one.
In the jungle about Deori there is
root which if man eat of it he is con-
verted into tiger on the spot; and if
in this state he can eat of another root
he becomes a man again. When was
boy q melancholy instance of the
root eating occurred.
MY father washer1nan, Raghu, was,
like all washermen, great drunkard; /;
and, being seized with a violent desire
to ascertain what man felt in the
state of tiger, he went one day to the
jungle and brought home two of these
roots and desired his wife to stand by
him with one Of them, and the instant
she saw him assume the tiger shape to
thrust it into his mouth.
''The washerman ate his root and
became instantly a tiger, but his wife
was so terrified at the sight of her hus-
band in this form that she ran off with
the antidote in her hand.
"Poor old Raghu took to the woods,
and there ate good many OF his old
friends from neighboring villages; but
he was at last shot and recognized
from the circumstance of his having
no tail.
you may be quite sure" concluded
Sarimant, when you hear of tiger
without a tail that it is some unfortu-
nate man who has eaten OF that root,
and of all the tigers he will be found
the most mischievous.
The Sarimant religiously believes
the truth of this story and SO do his at
tendants and mine; and out of pop
ulation of thirty thousand in the town
OF Sagar not one would doubt the
story of the washerman If he heard it

CHICAGO. March 6.-Wheat mustered addi-

assistance, little step toward recovery from
its long illness. May closed with co.'s cents

the same as yesterdays closing to a cent

about ss cents higher for May and % to n cent

The close was "a cent higher. Oats advanced
