Small Salary.

In former times Pres5y terian con-
gregations in the north of Ireland
were not, as a general thing, very lib
eral in their payments to their minis
tiers. In one such congregation there
was a well.to-do farmer, who cult
waited several acres of ground and was
the owner of numerous hocks and
herds. This man was in the habit of
contributing two-and-six-pence year
toward the support of his church, and
even that he paid with a grudge, One
year, when he was asked for it, ne
grumbled as usual, and finished by
saying: This preachin' ought to be
unco' good, for it's unco' dear" Even
the small sums that were promised
were by no means always paid. An an
nual stipend of less than two-andsiX-
pence has been known to be twelve
years in arrears. The following entry
occurs in the diary of one of the hard
worked ministers of those days: Set
tied with the treasurer of my congre-
cation for my annual stipend Amount
under ten pounds. Providence has cast
my lot among peculiar people; they
promised me little, and they pay me
less. Youths Companion.

their occupants of employing some
common means of ingress to and egress
from their respective dwellings, al
most compel them to establish con-
ventions of their own. There arises,
SO to speak, a vertical" etiquette of
social life, which differs from the
lateral form prevailing among the in
habitants of detached, mi-detached
or even doubly attached houses.
What, for instance, is the true in-
wardness" of the lift? Is it to be re-
garded as a common apartment, like
the coffee room of railway carriage
or an omnibus? For, according as it
is one or the other, so may the init
macy which it creates or implies, as be-
tween those who are continually meet
ing each other therein, be held to vary
in amount
Then, again, there is the burning
question of the piano, which, indeed,
has already engaged the attention of
the law courts. 1t is obvious that
the use of this instrument on fiat,
where the performer is usually nearer,
though not on that account dearer, to
his, or more often her, audience than is
the case with separate houses, requires
stricter regulations than is needed
elsewhere. 1t is a question in which
the excellent maxim of the Roman law,
$50 use thy own property as not to in
jure that of Others" does not help so
much. 1t is difficult to say at what
hour in the morning or to what time
of night the pianist may begin or
may continue his disturbing piece
of property without detracting
from the amenities of a neighbours
abode. One thing seems pretty clear
that in this, as in other like matters,
the etiquette observed among fat
jewellers should be of a more rather
than of less ceremonious description
than that to which people living next
door to each other need conform. And
among what may be called the aristoc-
racy of falkland there is reason to be-
lieve that this obligation is sufficiently
recognized. Telegraph.

coat had a shiny look across the shout
ders-it gave her little sad feeling
whenever she noticed it-and he wore
an questionable soft hat 1t was per-
haps part of his charm, that air of
shabbiness, of not minding about his
clothes.
There is something so mental and
spiritual about Mr.. Maurice. "Olive had
once recorded in her journal; las if he
wasn't interested in food and clothes,
as if he cared only for the things of
the mind"
Certainly one could rot look at him
without receiving an impression of a
brilliant mind, keenly alert and alive.
He was evidently very clever young
man. Olive imagined that he must be
very fond of books She had the clear
est vision of his long studious even
ings, a vision which she loved to con-
template as she spent one of her long
evenings in making over an old dress.
This vision was partly dispelled by
seeing some poker chips on his desk
one morning. Though of course they
might be there quite circumstantially
and without reference to the young
man il question, they yet gave a new
direction to her imaginings. 1t was
quite possible that Mr.. Maurice, with
his intellectual face, spent those
studious evenings in playing poker;
and the ease with which her mind ac-
customed itself to this idea, and the
certainty she felt that she should like
him just the same anyway, rather
frightened her.
To-day, as he sat in front Of her,
bending over his drawing, the mere
fact that he was there was enough to
keep memories and longings and the
general stupidity of life from disturb
ing her in the least degree. She felt
an infinite content. This was succeed
ed by a feeling more agitated, but not
less pleasurable, when he rose and
went downstairs with his drawing:
there was always chance when he
came back to his desk that he would
stop and make a remark before he sat
down. When he came running up
again, preceded by his remarkably
clear whistle, she stole another swift
glance in his direction. 1t struck her
that he looked pleased, excited. His
fair complexion was flushed. He came
over to his desk again, and took down
his hat and coat Then he paused a
moment, and she felt his eyes upon
her. In her acute consciousness of
this, she coquetted with her happiness,
delaying for an instant her own up
ward glance. He turned Immediately
and walked away.
OF course it was not the end of life.
and presumably not her last chance on
earth of speaking to Mr.. Maurice; but
the moment, as a moment, had the bit
terness of death.
She heard him go over to the elevator
and come back to speak to one of the
artists; then his footsteps once more
approached her desk. She looked up

quickly enough this time, and met his
quick smile, his little formal bow.
Miss Langdon," he siad, you're not
here after SIX, are you?"
NO" said Olive, feeling her usual
surprise that his eyes should be SO
kind; one always imagined them
satirical, inscrutable, and then, meet
ing them. found them the gentlest in
the world.

His smile as he said this did not seem
to be intentional. and it continued to
hover about his face as he went on
speaking.
I'm going to study" he said, look
ing out hopefully into the gray mists.
But you draw SO beautifully now,
Mr. Maurice said Olive. vaguely, also
looking out. She had grown very
white
ITS awfully kind of you to say so.
But this isn't what | care about. It's
painting I'm going to study. I've been
scheming to go for long time-saving
up. One loses such lot of money at
cards"
He looked at her with a smile in his
eyes as he said this, and she returned
it with her lips.
II don't she said.
He leaned forward suddenly and
pulled down her window.
You oughtn't to sit here in this
draught, Miss Langdon," he said.
Didn't you notice how cold it is get
ting?'
There was pause, during which he
searched for something among his pa
pers; it was newspaper cutting, and
he stood moment looking at it, with
his hand resting on Olives desk. Olive
looked at his hand. Her lips were
quivering.
He put the little cutting in his
pocket.
"Well, good-by, Miss Langdon," he
said, beaming on her with absent
minded cordiality. ~ suppose I'll see
you over there some of these days"
He pressed the hand she gave him, in
the warmth of his general good-will;
AMI the prosaic elevator assumed a
sudden tragic Importance in Olives
eyes as it carried him forever from her
sight. The air grew thicker and
thicker with tobacco smoke, but she
did not lift the window which he had
closed His wisdom in doing so was
apparent, for the rain presently began
to beat against it in little blind gusts.

work that he forgot to look at her
was naturally different from other
young men artists, and infinitely more
interesting. He was such thorough
going artist; he never loafed. In his
leisure moments, which were few, he
was always sketching something. His
work seemed to Olive beyond criticism,
and indeed she never heard the other
artists give it anything but praise.
ST. had been told that his salary was
at least fifty dollars a week, and prob
ably more. After she heard this her
liking for him was mingled with GER
tain awe. She wondered what he
could do with so much. He certainly
didn't spend it on his clothes; his over

ENGLISH FLAT BUILDINGS.



1t is maintained by some sociologists
that the custom of living in flats in
stead of in separate tenements will,
if universally adopted, create an en-
tirely different type of national char
acter. They point to the well-known
instance of the Kentucky cave fish, a
species in which, as a result of many
generations spent in darkness, the or
gan of sight has entirely persisted; and
they urge that the English flat fish, :"
if without offense we may so describe
him, will ultimately be affected in
some equally marked manner by his
surroundings. Possibly the muscles
which we at present employ in the as
cent and descent of the stairs will, in
the course of centuries, dwindle and
become "aborted" through the con-
slant use of the lift; while it is not inn
possible that the tendency to early
marriages among the class of female
domestics may be profoundly modified
by the practice of carrying on flirta-
tions with the baker through a speak
ing tube.
These, however, are remote specula-
tions. Evolutionary processes, much
speedier in their action, may, and, in
deed, must be set on foot under the
conditions of life in fat. For one
thing, it tends inevitably to promote
the tacit formation of a new code Of
social manners. The practice of piling

Against the mist the near outlines of
the houses showed themselves with a
Gream-like distinctness.
Olive had pushed up her window, and
the indeseribable odor of the great city
mingled itself with the thick scent of
tobacco smoke within. The office
people looked dull and uninteresting
and jaded. They struck her as all
looking alike in this-a sort of family
resemblance. 1t was one of her gloomy
afternoons. She was oppressed by the
terrible inetfectiveness of life; all the
dreary fragmentary days leading no
whittier. the dead motives, the untitled
longing, the blindness and stupidity.
She had meant to do so much. Her
artistic career was to have been SO
brilliant, so unparalleled; and here. at
twenty-five, newspaper artist on a
salary of eight dollars a week, she
drew fashions and copied photographs
and was cravenly afraid of losing her
position.
A little silence had fallen upon the
office, in which sha enjoyed the effect
of solitude. 1t was broken by one of
the artists.
Where's Maurice to-day?" he said,
addressing nobody in particular and
without looking up from his work.
Olive glanced at the empty chair in
front of her desk and tried to look pre-
occupied. The color had risen in her
cheeks. The air. the mental air,
seemed suddenly cleared, as if his
name had been a little Whit of fresh
wind.
Nobody seemed informed as to the
wherea bouts of Maurice, and he was
presumably out sketching. He APP
peared on the next elevator, and as he
stopped to speak to one of the men
Olive slowly lifted her eyes and swept
his figure with wistful glance. Then
she again tried to look preoccupied.
He came hurrying over to his desk
the next moment and sat down to
work up his sketch, forgetting to
speak to her. 1t was one of the things
she so much liked in him-this ignor-
ing of herself. Olive knew that she
had beautiful face, and a young
man artist so absorbed in his
