TYRANNous DooRKEEPERs.

An Odd Type of Man Peculiar to the
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 are
the doorkeepers. In this respect they
occupy positions analogous to their
prototypes, the fioor-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 house, from the
humblest two-dollar-a-weelz 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 with 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 doorlzeepers ridicn-
lous. They would be obnoxious were
they not so supre mely absurd. In a
voice, the volume of which might do
credit to the late Count Johannes in
RI
strike terror to guilty soul, one OF
them stationed in a broadway jobbing
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 a sup
posed power these simpletons seek to
propitiate Cerberus. They drop an oc-
casional cigar into his hand and some
time during the winter probably send
him turkey or a big pumpkin. With
the proprietor of the peanut-stand on
the corner and the bootb1ack, both Oh
who are prIviledged to ply their trade
in consideration of keeping the side
walk clean, he exercises mild system
of blackmail
The vender, in return for his favored
glances, supplies him with peanuts and
apples; the bootblack shines his shoes
for nothing. No newspaper boy is per
mitted to enter the store without the
understanding that he is TO give the
doorkeeper paper. Such are the per
quisites of the position of doorkeepel
in wholesale downtown house. Not
all of them, of course, accept these
petty tyrannies, but some of them do
and display very contemplate spirit
too. in doing so

Everywhere about the valleys of New
Mexico. invariably upon eminences,
and usually upon high fat-topped
mesas or table hills, are the ruins OF
houses of the ancient semi-civilized
Indian population that lived here and
titled the soil before the coming of the
Spaniards, four centuries ago. The
numbers of this old population can be
only vaguely inferred by the numerous
cobblestone foundations of their
houses, still well defined above the sur
face of the ground, and by the debris
of the fallen walls which constitute
hilloclzs, grass-grown and intermixed
with occasional old stoneFutensils and
countless fragments of pottery. This
pottery. when turned up by the spade,
is found to be handsome and varied in
color and as fresh of tint as it could
have been when the village was de-
stroyed or abandoned and every tradi-
ton of its existence lost in prehistoric

Turned the Hose on Them.

A twenty-round glove contest, (which
gave better satisfaction than any ever
held in Livingston, Mont, took place
there recently. Before the contest it
leaked out that it was to be rank
fake, and arrangements were made to
give it fitting reception. Time was
called shortly after ten o'clock, and as
soon as the principals entered the ring
a section of the city hose was coupled
onto a hydrant near by. By the time
the third round was called everything
was in readiness, and while the prin-
cipals were engaged in carrying out
the rankest of fakes rush was made
for the front window, nozzle was
thrust through the glass and the full
force of the water was turned into the
ring. The first shot. struck one of the
combatants in the small of the back,
resulting in a knockout blow. Both

A Few OF benjamin FranAiin,s Claims to
Greatness.


No man ever preached a doctrine
which more slzillfully showed how to
get the best for yourself, and no man
ever showed himself more ready than
Franklin to do things for others, says
Brander Matthews in st. Nicholas. He
invented an open stove to give more
heat with less wood, but he refused to
take out n patent for it, glad of an op-
portunity to serve his neighbors; and
this invention of Franlxlin's was the
beginning of the great American stove
trade of to-day He founded the first
fire company in Philadelphia, and SO
made beginning for the present fire
departments. He procured the reor-
ganization of the night watch and the
payment of the watchmen, thus pre-
pairing for the regular police force now
established. He started philosophic-
al society, and he took the lead in set
ting on foot an academy. which still
survives as the University of Pennsyl-
vania While he was doing things for
others, others did things for him, and
he was made clerk of the general
assembly in 17S6, and postmaster of
Philadelphia in 1737. In 1850 he was
elected member of the assembly, and
in 1855 he was made postmaster gem
eral for all the colonies. In 1748 he
had retired from business, having so
fitted his practice to his preaching that
he had gained competency when only
forty-two years old
The leisure thus acquired he used in
| the study of electrical science, then in
| its infancy. He soon mastered all that
was known, and then he made new ex-
periments with his wonted ingenuity.
He was the first to declare the identity
of electricity with lightning. Using a
| wet string, he flew kite against a
thunder cloud, and drew a spark from
a key at the end of the cord. The
lightning rod was his invention. OF
his investig ations and experiments he
wrote reports that were printed in
England and translated in France.
The Royal society voted him the Cop
| ley medal; the French king had the
experiments repeated before him, and
both Harvard and Yale made Franklin

. An AdirondacK Phenomenon

One of the most striking phenomena
of the Adirondack region is the carry
ing power of the human voice in still
weather upon the lakes great and
small Persons ashore easily hear the
ordinary conversation of others who
are so far out upon the lake as to be un-
distinguishable, and as great many
Adirondack visitors habitually violate
the law touching the slaughter of deer,
all such offenders are extremely care
full not even, to whisper q word that
might betray their guilt when rowing
upon the lakes.

MEN TleERs OF INDIA.
A Strange Superstition of the Ignorant
- Natives.

A 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. 1t
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:
1.-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 a
root which if a 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 I was
a boy a melancholy instance of the
root eating occurred.
MY fathers washerman, Raghu, was,
like all washermen, great drunkard;
and, being seized with violent desire

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.
1.-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 a 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 a tiger
without tail that it is some anfortu-
nate man who has eaten of that root
and of all the tigers he will be found
the most mischievous.''
The Sarimant re1igiously believes
the truth. of this story and so do his at
tendants and mine; and out of a.pop
ulation of thirty thousand in the town
of Sagar not one would doubt the
story of the washerman if he heard it

An ancient Race.

The Armenians are one of the most
ancient races in the world. Their
country is mentioned by Xenaphon and
Ezekiel and. in the cuneiform inscrip-
tions of Babylon and Assyria~ All the
nations that surrounded them have
passed away, but they remain, though
their country has been harried with
fire and sword for centuries. The per-
manence of the Armenian race has
been ascribed to the virtue of their
women and the exceptional purity and
stability of their family life. Even in
their heathen days polygamy was un-
known to them. They have been a

hundred years and have undergone
perpetual persecution for their faith
