MUTUAL CONFIDENCE.
The Story of Two Modest Persons In
a Railway Compartments.

An amusing anecdote of a lady and
gentleman who were travelling together
runs as follows, says the ~"Jybaert de
Kater." They were strangers to each
other. All at once the gentleman said:
MADAM. may I ask you to look out
of the window? I should like to make
some change in my toilet"
Certainly, sir she readily replied, at
the same time getting up and turning
her back upon him.
A few moments afterward he said
Now, madam, I ave finished, and you
can sit down again."
"And now, sir or madam, whatever
you are,' said the lady, "I would also re-
quest you to put our face out of the
window, as I, too, wish to make some al
iteration in my attire"
Certainly, madam and the man in
woman clothes turned at once the other
wag
To his great astonishment the man in
woman's garb, on sitting down again,
saw his travelling companion transformed
into a nan He burst. out laughing and
said
ut appears to me that we are both
trying to run away. What have you
done? I have been robbing a bank"

STREET CAR PoLITENEss,

A friend of mine was in a cable car
the other day. After taking his seat he
presently began to be very uneomfort-
able. For everybody seemed to be
amused at him, g~lances We're leveled in
his direction. girls giggled, elderly ladies
drew their faces into a quicker, and the
atmosphere of the place was as electric
as the fluid which sent the car through
space. After a short interval the puz-
lied gentleman discovered that it was
not he who was the object of mirth to
his comrades on the road. but a poor,
shy. blushing. fearful. trembling, fright
ened girl who was sitting by his side.
She. poor child, was dressed in an outre
fashion. which did not please the set OF
people in that conveyance, and evidently
she met with an accident. for her cloth
ing was tumbled and torn. her face was
bruised and cut. and one hand had been
wrenched and seemed to be paining her
very much. ] a Imagine nothing more
b~rutally ill-bred and rudely ignorant n
unfeeling h the behavior Of those silly
girls and boys, and still more silly
grown-up people in that car. Can You?
They We're laughing at a child who had
met with an accident on her wheel,
One of the first rules to be adopted by
a thoroughly polite person is this: Never
show surprise, except of the genuinely
gracious kind, the kind that expresses
laugh at an awkward predteaneus. AT.

A FAMOUS FAMILY.
Inherited Genius of the Bristol
Boat Builders.

The famous Herreshoff family who
lave built a number of the fastest Amer
lean steam and sailing yachts is a pecu-
liarly interesting one Charles Frederick
Herreshoff came from Germany in 1876
and purchased a farm of $50 acres on
Narragansett Bay. His son. the father OF
the present family, was such a natural
boat builder that when only twelve years
of age he was sailing his own craft,
which he had constructed himself, around
N-apragansett Bay.
OF his nine children, his eldest is
James Brown Herreshoff, an authority
in mechanical engineering. He lives in
California. But popular interest cen
tres in John Brown Herreshoff, the eld-
est of the three blind brothers. He is at
the head of the business concern, and is
an unusually active man. He spends
many hours of each day in going
through his shops; perhaps his blind
ness has forced his mind to greater con-
centration and acuteness.
The other brothers are all interesting
personalities, the best known of them
being Nathaniel Greene Herreshoff, or
Captain Nat" as he is frequently called
Though he is the mechanical genius OF
the family, he is as noted a sailor OF
yachts as he is a yacht builder. He is a

The BOY OF SEVENTEEN.
OF a Dangerous Age and Needs the
Aid of a Firm, Guiding Hand.

The boy of seventeen has reached a
dangerous age. Not merely because he
has left the sheltering innocence of child
hood and must meet the temptations
that every youth must sometimes face.
The trouble is that he too often knows
so much that his elders can teach him
little. He feels prepared to settle all the
questions of ethics or craftsmanship off
hand. | recall the anecdote of that
| young law student, to whom the Judge,
before whom he was being examined for
admission to the bar, stated a legal case,
and asked him how it should be de-
cided.
Without a moments hesitation the
! young man disposed of it then and there.
There can be only oie decision to it" he
added pompously. No man who is posted
in common law could hesitate for a mo-
ment."
"Perhapss NOT said the old Judge
t~houghtfully. Only it caused a Disagree
ment among the Judges of the United
States Supreme Court when it came up
before them. am glad, however, to find
that it is so easily disposed Of
AT seventeen the young man has courage
beyond knowledge, and in his enthusiasm
which he would shrink in his later years.
| He is usually a lovable creature withal,
and even in these days of gray hairs 1
can never meet MIN IN MS joyous enthu-
siasm and cheerful view of things with
out an impulse to slap him on the back
and give him God speed in his happy
jaunt toward the unknown future.
| am not of those who would deny to
youth the natural pleasures that belong
to his time of life. But when he forgets
the duties that AVE been entrusted to
him, or belittles their demands upon him
because he is set upon having "a good
time" he stands in great danger Of his
future. and needs the aidof a firm and
guiding hand.-Hardware.

AFTER A LOVERS QUARREL.
Pistol shots Ends a Girl of Nfneteer
and NaxtI


and Youth of TWenty-four.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 26, 1S95.-At daylight
this morning workmen found the dead
bodies of a young man and woman living
in a pool OF blood near the eastern en-
trance gate to Tower Grove Park. The
bodies lay closely together and an ex-
animation showed that the young couple
had met their death by a bullet through
their right temple. A note pinned to the
clothing of the man said
Goodbye to all. She shot herself and
I shot myself"
The bodies were Unidentified as those
of Della Bowan, aged nineteen years,
living. at No. 1N7 Soulard street. and
Joseph Renisch, aged twenty-four years,
a pressman, living at No. 1873 South
Eleventh street. The police regard the
tragedy as murder and suicide and are
inclined to the belief that Renisch killed
the girl and himself as the result of a
lovers quarrel. :
Persons living in the vicinity of the
tragedy heard two shots fired at three
O'Clock this morning, but as the sound
OF. a pistol shot is so frequent in that
locality they paid no attention to il.

VAST N TRADE.
But Cheap Silver Is Robbing In Eli
pire-Enects of the War.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 1S95.-A re-
port has been prepared at the Depart
ment of State on the foreign trade OF
hin for the year 1894. The material
is mostly taken from a report made by
the Secretary of the British Legation at
Picking to his government.
The most remarkable feature Of the
trade reports for 1894 was the fact that
good results were obtained and a
promising revival Of commercial pros
perity set in. in spite of numerous OBJ
stacles occasioned by the war.
The customs revenue was increased in
every division of trade with the exception
ports show an advance; the receipts
from the latter exceeding the maximum
collected during the most prosperous
days of the tea trade.
The British consul of Chinking reports
that the war had not interfered with
the growth of a more favorable feeling
towards foreigners. Indeed, the people
took but small interest in the wal and
know little of what has actually hap
pened; they are devoid of patriotic feel
ing and their pockets are as vet I'M
touched by extra taxation for war pur-
poseS.aa 4stu
The British consul at Chefoo views
the result of the war in another light.
He fears that the only lesson which
the Chinese will learn from their MS
fortunes is the need of more warlike ma
terial. an increase of hatred for foreign
nations. He fears that instead of mer-
chant steamers they will purchase men
of-war. heavy guns instead, hof railway
plant. and ammunition instead of Use
full machinery. KsD EIlfT +
The British Consul GenerapsGat: Shank-
hal discusses the silver question as fol-
lews;.,"Under the influence of cheap. ST.
yer the volume of exports continuas to
reaps the beneft of their cheapness In
gold prices. The fall m silver and ,ldw
freights have combined to enablgsethe
majority of the staple exports of China
to be laid down in Europe at about one
half the cost at which they could be
sold twenty years ago."
