Testing the OYSTERS.

A Chicago lady called urSl Health Officer
Wickersham upon a mysterious mission.
She brought with her half n dozen fried
oysters. "lhey have been trying to poison
me again, DOCTOR" she said. as she laid the
oysters before him.
"Oh, no, | guess rot" replied the official
"Yes, they have" said the visitor, "but
Pve outwitted them this time, you see. |
have brought the poisoned oysters right to
you to be analyzed. There they are"
The doctor argued quietly with the lady,
trying to convince her that she was the
victim of an hallucination, but his labors
were vain. Realizing the frutlessness of
argument under these circumstances, the
doctor chatted pleasantly with his visitor
tills became quieter, and then said, 80
the poison is in these oysters, is it2"
"Yes, Pm certain of it,"
The doctor picked up one Of the bivalves,
nibbled at it cautiously for a moment, and,
with sigh of satisfaction, slipped it into
his mouth.
"My stars! that was goodri he exclaimed,
smacking his lips. "Your cook under
stands his business. That was flt for a
king"
And without more ado the remaining
oysters, one after another, went TO satisfy
the hunger of the health department of the
city of Chicago.
There was along period of silence, broken
at last by the woman, who said, very meek
ly, "Doctorp
"Yes'm."
"lve been a fool. Pm very sorry for it,
and for the trouble | have caused you"
Il assure you that am your debtor
madam" gallantly rejoined the doctor
"lf all my professional analyses were as
agreeable and satisfactory as this seems
likely to be should be much better pleased
with my position. ."-Chicago Mail.

In Paris basters do not work during jan
uary and April and are paid about thirty
five centimes an hour In embroidery no
work is done in June, July and August; if
skillful, the workers are often paid at rates
varying from three to twenty-five francs
day. Embroidery in silk and wool is es-
pecially well paid The making of soldiers
linen is remunerated at the rate of from
thirty, forty to forty-iive centimes an hour.
Corset makers for nine hours good work
receive an average Of four francs a day.
Dressmaking is very well paid, and so is
the sewing of furs and the making of cos.
tunes for thcaters Ready made clothes
for export can generally be worked at
home, and sometimes mantuamakers ard
ready made dressmakers can also take
their work to their own abodes.
The aspiraut for employment in the
mantuamaker's trade must learn the art
OF trying on, and, if possible, must know
one foreign language, For these the salary
is from two to four francs a day. In this
trade it appears that there is no intermis-
sion all the year round. Plain white sew.
ing is not well paid, owing to the compe-
tition of the large warehouses, but articles
of haute nouyeaute, on the other hand, are
often remunerated at the rates of twenty,
thirty and SIXTY francs per garment. In
mems cravat making there is also excellent
steady work, as well us in lace making and
glove making. The trimming of bonnets,
the making of bows for shoes, umbrellas
and parasolS is intermittent, and so is the
making of trimming OF all kinds, this be-
ing dependent upon ashion.-Exchange

Buying His First SILK Hat.

He walked into the big hat store and
looked about him timidly. He was rather
understood and it was evident from his
manner that he was about to take very
important step in the matter of headgear.
He was. His mission was to purchase his
first silk hat 1t is peculiar how deeply
most men will mediate on that step before
they take it, The particular person now
under discussion thought that he had
screwed his courage up to the sticking
point, but he hadn't. A clerk approached
him and his courage failed him. Show me
n derby, lie said. The polite clerk showed
several derbys, which the young man list
lessly tried on.
None of them suited him, of course.
Finally he said; 81 wonder how a silk hat
would become me. Do you think could
wear onep "Wear onel OF course you
could" said the clerk. You're Just like
everybody else who buys silk hat for the
first time. They all ask the same ques.
tions, They want the.silk hat themselves,
but they fear that a debut in that sort of
headgear will be the signal for their friends
to begin guying them. This feeling wears
off after the first day or two and then you
are happy" He bought the silk hat

mating conventions at which the men who
are to act as the lobby's agents in the
legislative body are selected. The bar
gain for their services is made then, their
election expenses paid for them, ard in
ignorance of this corrupt compact the
people elect them, supposng they are to
he the public's servants. Neither is the
work of corruption which may be neces-
sary later, when the members are in ses-
sion, done directly, as formerly, about the
capitol, but indirectly by means of ban
quets and receptions and in various other
forms of personal solicitation carried on in
quarters all safely removed from the nnb.
licity of the lobby precincts.
In fact, nearly all the most pernicious
lobby work at present is done elsewhere
than at the state house or capitol, and the
only kind of publicity about it that will
be dreaded, and therefore effective, is the
kind which can be forced as Governor
Russell, of Massachusetts,, suggests, at the
critical moment before bill is to come up
for final passage. If at that point every
one concerned in the bill's welfare-author,
sponsor, agent, corporation, lobbyist -
could be forced under oath to reveal all
that he had done for or against it, in and
out Of the halls of legislation, there would
be publicity of incalculable value. This,
combined with general laws removing all
the private and special legislation possible
of such classification from the control of
legislative bodies, would free us as COM
plctely as England has been freed from
lobby evils. Century

Time softens all things, including the
memory of disagreeable incidents. What,
at the time may have been irritating, per-
ilous or intensely disagreeable, after a
lapse of years becomes matter of pride
or amusement. Otherwise this anecdote,
which relates an incident anything but
funny at the time of occurrence, would
never have been recalled. 1t was told by
n gentleman now in prosperous circum-
stances.
When | was young man, said he,

man whom knew slightly.

to take message for me to Brown street

will pay you dollar for delivering it, and
I'll give you another dollar to pay your

street found single cab standing there.
1t was most dilapidated vehicle, with
two wretched horses, and the driver was

soon discovered, extremely hard of hear

However, it was Hobson's choice, and
after some chafiering | got into the cab
and it started Away we ratified up Ninth
street and out Ridge avenue, and had gone
perhaps two squares on the latter street

as the bottom boards fell into the street,
except one jagged piece that kept banging
the calves of my legs.
