When man Is a salesman in a DRY
goods store, do not attempt to instruct
him by the ventilation of ideas of your
own. III he be an actor, do not inSrude
upon him any of your amateur notions.
III a clergyman, refrain from Scriptural
citation and exegesis when in his compa-
ny. If professional humorist, resist,
as 1t were the evil one, all temptation to
righteousness and paronomasia. If me-

in his calling.
But, on the other hand, my son, do not
attempt to interfere with his speaking or
his calling, profession or speciality. So
long as you listen you make no mistake,
and the wing of friendship molts no
feather.
Give ear to the story of his experiences
at the counter, but interject none of your
own; listen 70 and applaud his spoutings,
but spout not yourself; receive with be-
coming reverence his interpretations of
holy writ. but NEEDLE not yourself with
that which the lay mind is not supposed
TO be able to cope withal; listen and
laugh at his wit and whimseys, but
hazard no joke of your own; attend
while he relates his mechanical achieve

1t is common mistake, my son, to
suppose that because a man delights in
talking about a certain something In
which he is proficient, he loves TO hear
every babbler that falls in his way des-
cant upon the same subject; that because
it pleases him to exalt himself in given
direction he likes to hear others in the
same direction exalt themselves.
When a man knows a thing thorough
ly-or thinks he does, which amounts to
the same so far as he is concerned-he Is
quite ready and willing to instruct others,
but he brooks no incursions by others
into his peculiar domain. When he has
finished the exposition of his wares, it is

of course they are of an entirely differ

there can be no trade, no harmony.

$1,000 A SHOT.
1t Is Economical, After All, if Considered
PrODerly.

1t Is Economical, After ALI, if Considered
Properly.
One thousand dollars shot is rather
expensive shooting, but when you come
to figure it out you will find that it is
not quite as much in proportion as 500
shot under certain conditions. The old
smooth bore cannon, short in barrel and
short in the breach, had to DO trained
with the greatest patience and care on
the object aimed at, and if the 100
pound ball didn't land exactly where it
was intended it did very little harm.
With the big pneumatic gun at Sandy
Hook it is impossible to make miss.
You just touch her off at 81, 900 per
touch, and if the projectile drops within
one-sixth of mile Of where it was in
tended to drop there is Immediate and
serious trouble and in all probability no
necessity for the expenditure Of another
dollar on that particular target 1t costs
more to fire the big Krupp gun than it
does our dynamite gun, but the execu-
ton bears no comparison. One hundred
gatling guns, fred at short intervals for
one hour, would cost $40, 600. Even if
the object shot at was within range the
shooting would not be one-tenth as ef-
fective as the shooting of the Sandy
Hook error.-New York Mail and Elk.

The Mantle of Charity.

It is the one garment the fashion of
which never changes, writes Ruth Ash
more in Ladies' Home Journal. The
years may 60 and come, and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at once
happy herself and the giver of happi-
ness. In cut it never changes. It is al
ways large and full, so that it can en-
velop those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort. Like the
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, it is invisible to all but those whose
eyes are made clear by faith. It is the
garment that would like my girls to
wear. It is true that much patience and
much self denial are required before
this cloak is put on, as it should be, for
all time, but once assumed the amount
Of joy to be. got from it and the happy
heaftbeats to the wearers of it cannot

RSrt Louis, Mauritius.

From the sea Port Louis has pictur-
esque and oriental aspect, but the streets
are less so than one imagines. They are
wide and resemble those of Cape Town.
Numerous European shops also line their
frontss
Lying behind the town is the Champ
de Mars. It is used as place Of amuse-
ment, and opening into it are the streets
of Burbon and Corderie, while to the
left of the quays is the bazaar or market
place. It is surrounded by an iron rail-
ing, has several gates leading to the
principal streets and is divided into
two equal parts by Farquar street.
A broad avenue also traverses it's en-
tire length, lined on either side by Gov
cred sheds, where the wares are exposed.
Fruit stalls occupy the upper end, and
here is exhibited marvellous variety,
a collection that would make the fruit
sellers of the west mad with envy.
Plantains in great yellow heaps are side
by side with custard apples, alligator
pears, manages, pineapples and others
too numerous to mention. Mangoes are
the most esteemed by Europeans. The
lower market contains the butchers
shops, where fowl, fish and kid are
conspicuous.-All the Year Round.

A New Umbrella Stand.

A funny incident of a drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. A grave
looking gentleman. with an unusually
tall hat, entered, and seeing no rack in
the hall placed his hat on the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered with a large, drip.
ping umbrella, and peering an6ously
for the usual receptacle saw in the
gloom the hat resting on the floor. His
eyesight was probably poor, for he mis-
took it for one Of the new umbrella
holders, and in it he deposited his drip

for those who followed, and in short
time the solemn looking hat was stanch-

Girl Babies Of Sicily.

In some parts Of Sicily the birth Of a
girl is looked upon as such a misfor-
tune that a black flag is hung out the
window to proclaim the sad event. Hav-
ing to be supported by the family as
long as they are unmarried, and being
obliged to dover the bridegroom, they
are looked upon as expensive luxuries.

Chosen Helpmates.
In the earliest times Of purchase q
woman was bartered for useful goods or
for services rendered to her father. In
the latter way Jacob purchased Rachel
and her sister Leah. This was Beena
marriage, where man, as in Genesis,
leaves his father and his mother and
cleaves unto his wife, and they become
one flesh or kin-the woman's. The
price Of bride in British Columbia and
Vancouver island varies from e20 to
: e40 worth of articles. In Oregon an In
dian gives for wife horses, blankets
or buffalo robes: in California, shell
money or horses; in Africa, cattle.
A poor Damara will sell a daughter
for one COW. "A richer Kaffir expects
from to 80. With the Banyai, if moth
ing be given, her family claim her chill
dren. In Uganda, where no marriage
recently existed, she may be obtained
for half dozen needles, or coat, or a
pair OF shoes. An ordinary price is a
box OF percussion caps. In other parts
a goat or a couple of buckskins will buy
a girl. Passing to Asia, we find her
price is sometimes 5 to SO rubles, or at
others a CARLOAD of wood or hay. A
princess may be purchased for 5000
rubles. - ~. .-
In Tartary woman can be obtained

A Remarkable Dog.


The following peculiar incident is
told by a Baltimore man as occurring
to his fox terrier: Zone day, while the
cellar door was open, the dog descended
in search of rats at about O clock. At
$3.50 the dog was searched for and
thought lost. No further notice was
taken in the matter until the next morn
ing at II o'clock, when I was attracted
by dog yelling. After careful search
in the cellar, which revealed only a
pile of sand by the wall, I noticed the
dogs nose protruding through an inch
board at the top window of the cellar
looking into the yard. went immedi-
ately up stairs and removed five bricks
from the pavement and pulled the dog
out: After careful inspection dis
covered he had dug under the founda-
ton Of the house in the sand, which
had caved in on him. Finding no other
means Of escape, he dug up to the sur
face, distance of six feet, and on ar
irving at the brick surface, which had
been recently paved, dug toward the
window, distance of three feet, and
had nearly eaten through the board in
his efforts to free himself. He was near
~ exhausted when found, having been
26 hours underground. One eye was
entirely closed from sand, the other
nearly SO. baltimore Sun.
