 "This town is rather heiss (unfriend- ly), said he, "but if you look out and beg very carefully you can get along. A great trick here now is to tip the p0rtier of good houses, and thus get the pull on every fiat in the building. You've got to lookout for the putz, though, for if you're caught, you're sure for twenty-four hours in the kasten (prison). Another scheme that works pretty well with us fellows who know the town, is to send around beg ging letters. You can easily make quite a st0ss (hauD if you work the plan well. Still, it's risky for strangers. If you are going to stay here long, you'd better make friends with the Aer6ergs- outer. He's pretty good kerl (fellow), and if you let him know that you've got little money, he'll look out for you when the putz makes his inspec- tion now and then. There's nothing, you know, like standing in with them that's klug (cleverl, and you can bet that fellow is. .. .. What do you say to a schnapps, brother?"
 My first night in this tramps' nest was one I shall never forget. slept with an old beggar in a bed long since given over to other lodgers, who fought us that night as If were Frencnmen. And the stench in the sleeping-room was similar to that of a pigsty. Any complaint, however, would have been useless, for the price paid was only three cents, and for that sum of money one could not expectvery much. Then. too, the host asked for no ''legitima- tions-papier," and this was an aa vantage which must be set over against most of the annoyances. New ertheless, 1 was glad enough to turn out early in the morning and look for a breakfast, which was soon found but thoroughly European in quantity. Carl continued begging even after his breakfast, while I remained in the lodging-house talking with some of the inmates.

A Curious Dialect.

A Berlin magazine describes the negro-English of the west coast of Africa. Whoever means to do business on the west coast of Africa must learn this curious language, be he a German or Briton. Luckily this is not very difficult. The whole language com prises only about three hundred words, and these people despise everyone who does not speak it. The extreme sim plicity of the idiom is well illustrated by the following examples: ''Dem steamer go sleep here for night, the steamer will anchor here tonight; dem steamer him belly be full, the steamer is fully loaded; dem steamer be hun gry, the steamer has still room for car go; when sun come for bed, when the sun sets"

European Shipmasters to Adopt the Midge
 System for Paying Sailors.

European Shipmasters to Adopt the Midee
 System for Paying Sailors.
 The British board of trade is trying to extend what is known as the Midge system to such continental ports as Havre, Dunkirk, Rouen, Antwerp, Rot terdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg. in order to prevent the systematic rob- bery of sailors, who often lose the wages for whole voyages in single night on shore. Under this Midge sys- tenn, says the New York Post, as soon as ship arrives in port, board of trade officer, specially appointed for the purpose, boards her, and, after as certaining how many hands wish to proceed home without delay, obtains from the master particulars as to the wages due and the deductions charge able to the men. Each seaman, after vouching for the accuracy of his ac- count by signing it, receives a ticket for his destination with small advance to defray minor travelling ex- penses, and leaves for home as soon as his services can be dispensed with on board ship. The balance of wages due to him is forwarded by the board of trade officer, and thus his earnings have chance of reaching his family instead of filing the pockets of the crlmps. The superintendent of mer- cantile marine at Gravesend has been sent to DunlIirll to make the necessary arrangement for the introduction of the system, and if successful there it will be extended to other ports. It is estimated that between 1882 and 1893 British sailors were robbed of two hundred thousand pounds in Dun kirk alone.

Occasionally It Involves Visit to the Pawnshop-A Queer Case in Point.
 To be in the swim in New York re- quires from twenty-five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars a year. Among the -four hundred and people adjacent to that charmed circle the struggles to maintain a position against the inroads of extravaganza would be extremely pathetic if they were but known. The maw of the plebeians who supply the necessaries is always open and it sometimes swal- lows regulations as well as fortunes. Speaking of the subject to Press re- porter, a Union League club man, who is bachelor with a large income, a free liver and wide circulator, re- gently unbent himself with few anec- dotes.
 "New York society in these days sad ly needs ready money. When the tradesman begins to shut down the trouble commences. I remember a year or so ago friend of mine called upon family acquaintance on Fifth avenue. He was invited informally to dine. He accepted, and it was the most unfortunate thing he could have done. The family were compelled to send out for dinner, and I believe it took all the ready money in the house. Their butcher and grocer had simply shut down on them, and they have since gone into involuntary retirement At the Patriarch balls a mother and daughter were the most handsomely dressed women in the room. To make long story short, Mrs. X. had pawned a magnificent diamond necklace in order to get her gowns from the dress maker. Some time after she redeemed the necklace, and her jeweler sub- sequently discovered that the gems had been replaced by paste stones. A detective was placed on the case, but the pawnbroker learned who his GUS toners were and threatened exposure if arrested. The family did not pros ecute."

A TRUSTY GUARDIAN.
he Remarkable Intelligence of an Eng
 fish Mastiff.

fish MastiG.
 More than forty years ago, in 1851, visited party of friends in the Ben digo gold fields in Australia, where I was cordially welcomed. Among the valued possessions of my friends, says a writer in St. Nicholas, was an Eng fish mastiff, which belonged to one of the gentlemen.
 The good understanding between myself and the mastiff appeared to have become so well established dur ing the evening, that on the next day left the claim where my friends were at work to fetch kettle of tea from the tent, without the least misgivings as to my reception by him.
 "Rex," who was always allowed to run loose, came forward to meet me. He allowed me to stroke his head, and, so far as I could see, showed no inter est in my movements as l entered the tent and took drink of the tea. But, when started to leave the tent with the kettle in my hand, imagine my as tonishment when l saw the supposed friend Rex facing me, and showing his
 
 teeth in very threatening way. l put down the kettle, seated myself on the edge of the camp-bed and spoke to him. He wagged his tail and looked so friendly that thought I must have made a mistake about his intentions. Not at all. The moment I attempted to leave the tent with the kettle, had reason to know that Rex's broad grin was no mere notion, but, on the contrary, real sign that he was true to his trust as he understood it.
 I talked to him again, set down the kettle, and attempted to leave without it. Still Rex objected. He had his doubts, and determined to give his masters the benefit of them. There was no help for it; was held prisoner, and could do nothing but sit down and wait patiently for one of the party to come to my relief. No one came until nearly an hour later, by which time my long absence had caused my friends to suspect that was being held prisoner by Rex. I bore the dog no grudge for his faithful zeal, and in few days found he would let me come and go, and take whatever wished.

 The October Century contains study of tramp life made by young Amer ican in Germany who became a tramp for two weeks. Here is his account of tramps' lodging house:
 Entering the common meeting room and saluting as usual we sat down at a table where there were other tramps also. I was immediately asked: ''Wo kommst Du her? Wo willst Du him? Was hast Du fur geschaft?" I an swered these questions as cleverly as could, and was soon deep in various conversations. Before I had been talk ing long I made the acquaintance of a

And spectacles, and Optician from many in- stitutions and from Hospital and Eye Infrm . ary.
 A large stock of French Glasses and Rock Crystal Improved Spectacles.
 Superior to any other in use, constructed in accordance with the science and philosophy of sight, and perfectly natural to the eye. afford ing altogether the best help to the natural wis., ion ever invented. Used only by Dr. A. Meyer, spectacle and optical manufacturer of Peri scopic, Pantoscopic, Prismatic, Plano Cylin- drical and Spherical Cylindrical Glasses, Curved Blue Eyed Protectors, Goggles and Mica Spec tacles.
 OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
 Spectacles are the most universally useful gift which optical science has conferred upon mankind More wonderful instruments abound. The miracles disclosed to human vision by the telescope and microscope are known to all. To such marvels sspectacles lay no claim. But to compensate for this their utility is ubiquitous. In the palace of the mo march and the cottage of the peasant their beneficial influence is equally dltfused. It is remarkable also that unlike most other produc tions of art and science, cost can add nothing to their perfection. Those of the millionaire may be mounted in gold, and those of the humble cottager in iron, but the optical medium-the glass lenses to which they owe their perfection be the same.
 THE ADVANTAGES of these spectacles over all others are:
 l. any length of time at one sitting, giving as tonishing clearness of vision by candle or any other artificial light, comfort to the spectacle wearer hitherto unknown.
 2. How to select glassess It requires pro fess1onal guidance, even when good article is offered. The Doctor not only has the best glasses that can be found in the market, but carefully examines the eyes, and gives indis- pensible advice for the proper selection of them.
 B. When the eyes pain or ache through the action of bright light, such as is reflected from the snow in warm weather, white paper in reading, writing, sewing or in vivid colored bodies, these lenses, by softening the rays, ef- feet most agreeable sensation and give great relief.
 4. These spectacles are scientifically ad- justed to every case of defective sight with strain or premature decay. by Dr. Meyer, on new and exact principle entirely his own, which has seldom failed to be correct.
 B. Dr. Meyer, to signalize himself from the host of pretenders in his profession, submits for insception copies of testimonials of the of America, also number Of certificates from well-known gentlemen who have used his spectacles-the originals of which he will be happy to show those who may request it.
 DR. MEYER.
 Dr. Meyer comes here well recommended in the highest terms of praise by numerous cert1f- cates from the most eminent physicians, occu lists, divines, and the most prominent men of our country.

correctly brought up that they are, in
Il majority of eases, entirely ignorant
Of such thing rs being madly in love.
Even the casual reader will not fail
to notice what u different state of

are so familiar with this state as not
to give it any serious consideration
