San Francisco, May 3-For the first time
in eight days, William Herzinger, a
young man living at 621 Bush street,

contained some bits of glass.
Young Herzinger ate his unlucky meal
at noon on Wednesday, week ago. He
attempted to swallow a mouthful of po-
tatoes without proper mastication and
felt something stick in his throat. He
sought a doctor. who found that the
throat had been badly cut by some for
eign substance. presumably glass. For
eight days he struggled against death.
He may recover.

To Reduce the Judges.

The judiciary article was again taken
up on revision, and Boyer moved a
suspension of the rules in order to fix
salaries of judges at $500, instead of
$4,000. He was voted down heavily.
When the convention had finished
the article on the judiciary as we'll as
the one on education, Goodwin raised
a kick at the way in which the con-
vention was revising the work of the
committee on compilation and revision.
He moved that the committee be hon
orably discharged, but did not get a
second.
After the article on apportionment
had been rushed through and a quor-
UNI had melted away an adjournment
was taken from 5 o'clock until 10 this
morning.

determined that the convention should
take junket to Saltair at 2 o'clock

GOOD WORK OR NONE.

It is rule that workman must
follow his employers orders, but no
one has right to make him do work
discreditable to himself. Judge NJ,
well-known jurist, living near Gin
cinnati, loves to tell this anecdote of
young man who understood the risk
of doing a shabby job, even when di-
rected to.
He had on one occasion to send to
the village for carpenter, and stur-
dy young fellow appeared with his
tools.
II want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some un-
planned boards-use them. 1t is out Of
sight of the house, so you need not
take time to make it neat job. I
will pay you dollar and half"
The judge went to dinner, and COM
ing out, found the man carefully plan
ing each board. Supposing that he
was trying to make costly job of it,
he ordered him to nail them on at
once, just as they were, and continued
his walk. When he returned, the
boards were all planed and mum bered
ready for mailing.
~ told you this fence was to be COW
cred with vines," he said angrily; II
do not care how it looks"
"I do" said the carpenter gruffly,
carefully measuring his work. When
he had finished there was no part of
the fence as thorough in finish.
"How much do you charge % asked
the judge.
"a dollar and half" said the man,
shouldering his tools.
The Judge started. "Why did you
spend all that labor on the job, if not
for money ?"
"For the job, sir"
"Nobody would have seen the poor.
work on it."
"But 1 should have known it was
there. No; I'll take only dollar and
u half" And he went away.
Ten years afterwards, the judge had
the contract to give fer several mag
nifcent public buildings. There were
many applicants among master-build-
ers; but the face of one caught his eye.
"It was my man of the fence" he
said. 81 knew we should have only
good and genuine work from him.
gave him the contract, and it made a
rich man of him."
1t is a pity that boys are not taught
in their earliest years that the highest
success belongs to the man, be he car
penter, farmer, author, or artist, whose
work is most sincerely and thoroughly
done.-Living Age.

Brown, halting anxiously on the door

you should want anything, if you will

dogs prowling about in the night I hope

thank you so much" The unaffected
eagerness Of these men to make her well
come and to contribute to her comfort
in all possible ways filled her with
sort Of shame for the ungracious doubts
which had assailed her. The novelty Of
the situation was even becoming pleas
antly exciting. Brown had lighted a
lamp upon the small table and drawn
an easy chair invitingly beside it. The
fire in the corner stove was sending
forth cracking song of cheer, and the
room began to wear an air that was
fairly cozy and homelike.

INTEREsT-How IT EATS. s.-"One of
the causes of bankruptcy is that so
few persons properly estimate the diff
ference between high and low rate of
interest, and therefore often borrow
money at ruinous rate, that no legiti-
mate business can stand. Very few
have figured on the difference between
6 and per cent. One dollar loaned
for 100 years at 6 per cent, with in
terest collected annually and added to
the principal, will amount to s340. At
S per cent, it amounts to $2,203, or
nearly seven times as much. At 3 per
cent, the usual rate of interest in
England, it amounts to S19.25; where
as at 10 per cent, which has been a
very common rate in the United
States, it amounts to $500, or about
700 times as much. At Is per cent,
it amounts to SIS, 145, ,006. At 24 per-
cent, (Which sometimes we hear talk
ed of it reaches the enormous sum of
%, ,551, 1885, ,404. One hundred dollars
borrowed at per cent. with the inter-
est compounded annually, will amount
to 81 ,S42, in so years, while the same
800, at s per cent, will amount 70
$4,000, in so years. One thousand
dollars at 10 per cent. compounded,
will run up to $l17 800 In so years.
