Ludicrous, Yet Pathetic.

A young lady happily married has lit erary man for her husband, who does all of his work at home. It is very good work and pays very we'll, and as they are so newly welded they arc delighted with tho opportunities for being almost constantly together.
 Recently they got 2 new serEauJ, bux- om German girl who proved herself handy and also seemed to take 0 deep interest in the affairs of the young couple. Of course she saw the husband around the house 8 great deal, but her mistress was not pre- pared for the following:
 "Ogscuse me, Mrs Blank, but I like to say something's"
 Well, Rcnaf"
 "You won't be mad by me, alrettys"
 "Why, what is it you wish to sayS'
 The girl blushed, fumbled her apron, stammercd and then replied:
 Well, you pay mo S16 mont
 And l can't pay any more, said the mistress decisively.
 Its not dot, responded the girl, "but I find I bo willin to take $15 till-till your husband gets work!" It was anus ing and pathetie-both, wasn't it?-Yon- kers Statesman.

Uiu rOIResIone.

There was primitive harbor sometimes sitting up and sometimes cleaned out by the SCOUT of the tidal currents. Swift craft of more or less suspicious appearance would como to their moorngs there when their papers and holds would bear inspec- tion. But the chief trade of the little port was transacted surreptitiously A lugger with wide spread of canvas would show in the offing toward dusk, and when the watchers recognized tho cut of her sails signal lights would be flashed from among chimney stalks and from garrett windows.
 The amphibious population to the west ward would be all on the alert, and there would be brisk going to and fro of shallow but seaworthy boats before the beach of Sandgate. Troops of numbering farm horses drawn up among the sand hills in charge of men armed with pistol and cut lass, would be busily clattering their jaws in their nosebags, knowing we'll that there was serious business before them. Then if a sudden descent of the preventive men did not end in fireworks and flasco many sleeper in peaceful inland home steads would be awakened through the night by the clank of chains and the rattle of hoofs.
 And so many citizen grew in wealth and responsibility, attaining the highest municipal honors. His good lady and his buxom daughters dressed in silks from Genoa and faces from Valenciennes when they went to their devotions in the Church of Sts. Mary and Eanswith on the cliff, and the worthy mayor or the worshipful aldermen kept it up with their guests over supper into the small hours, on cognac Schiedam and Gascon or Spanish vintages which had never paid a shilling to the rev enue.- e.-Blackwood Magazine

4A4e..-..., .A rance.

The French mode of conducting auc- tions is rather curious. In sales of inpor- tance, such as of land, houses, etc., the af- fair is placed in the hands of notary, who for the time being becomes an auc- tioneer. The property, whatever be its nature, is first examined by competent judges, who fix upon it a price, considera- bly, less than it's value, but always suffi- cicnt to prevent any ruinous loss by pre- concerted plan or combination of bidders. The property is then offered with the fixed valuation stated. The auctioneer is pro- vided with a number of small wax tapers, each capable of burning about five min utes As soon as a bid is made one of these tapers is placed in full view of all interested parties and lighted. lf before it expire, another bid is offered, it is i'm mediately extinguished and fresh taper placed in its stead, and so on until one fickers and dies out of itself, when the last bid becomes irrevocable. This simple plan prevents all contention among rival bidders and affords reasonable time for reflection before making higher offer than the one breeding By this means, too, the auctioncer is prevented from ex- ercising undue influence upon the bid ders or hastily accepting the bid of fa- yorite.

Newspaper Extract, A. D. sooo.

A few persons riding in West Madison street car last night witnessed an amusing episode The car was full, and stylish young gentleman who entered was prepar- ing to stand during the rest of the trip, when two handsome ladies arose and po- litcly offered him their seats. He took one with bow of thanks. Soon after another man clad in cheaper attire and rather plain of feature entered, but the young lady whose seat the first gentleman had not accepted kept her eyes fastened on her newspaper and affected not to see him. Tho poor fellow would doubtless have had to stand all the way had not the stylish young gentleman arisen with flashing eyes and given up his own seat. The handsome lady evidently felt the rebukc, for she got out at the next crossing while a suppressed litter ran through tho car Chicago Record.
