Music Boxes to Hire.

If you wish to hear the music of 81, O0L
music box at your home, it is not neces.
sary to buy one, for you can rent one for an
afternoon or an evening for $685. and it
will be delivered at your house and taken
away. 1t will be fixed to play any tunes
that you may desire. A music box such az
sells at from $3.50 to 5000 may be rented
for $10 and boxes that sell at, say, $500,
5000 or $500, at from $15 to 500 for an aft
ernoon or evening. Music boxes are rented
to play at weddings, appropriate music be-
ing provided; at o'clock teas and for va
rious social entertainments, including
dancing parties. For dancing programmes
may be made in advance, and the music
box will be prepared to play two steps,
waltzes, whatever may be desired. For as
it is the music of such box is of sufficient
volume to be heard throughout a house.
1t is not an extensive branch of the
music box business, the renting of them,
but it is increasing, and the renting of
music box often leads to a sale.-NeW

Working For Uncle Sam.

There are government positions which
hold out excellent possibilities in the way
Of developing a young mans qualities,
writes Edward W. Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. But these are rare. Fol
the most part, and on general principles
would not advise any young man to en-
ter the employ Of the government-that
is, if he has any ambition. A government
position holds out attraction to the average
young man because he feels it is safe-that
is, so far the payment of his salary is con-
cerned. Then: too, he is apt to believe
that government salaries are somewhat
higher thai the salaries attached to civil
pursuits But, to my mind, he buys these
"sure" elements at very dear cost to
himself.
The average government clerkship is a
very poor affair. Not only is it poor in it.
self; but, n'ninety cases out Of a hundred,
1t means pure clerical routine. 1t has
about it peculiar sitting monotony and
restraint which are apt to quench the fire
Of ambition. Promotion is impossible upon
the same lines as in business house. The
chances for development are meager.
While there are exceptions to the general
rule, government service Is not the best
thing for any young fellow. He will be
wiser If he enters into the more fearless
freedom Of civil pursuits and leaves the
average government position alone. In
the first, he can DO what he likes; In the
latter, it is doubtful.

Up on the hill where the soft breezes pass
Little maounds rise through the long, waving

No Training of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach snake to dc
anything whatever. Their brain power is
so limited that the marvel is how they
have ever managed to survive in the great
competition, especially when one finds than
they are still on the ascending curve" OF
evolution. Most of them can be tanned tC
some extent by constant human compan.
ionship and judicious handling (some spe.
cics very much more really than others).
When they have learned To trust, to appre.
ciate the fact that there is no necessity fol
self defense, then they may be trusted a
principle which applies to most animals,
and there the scope and possibility of then
education comes to an end.
After that the most that skillful ex.
hibitor can do with them is to adapt him
self and his actions to their movements,
which by familiarity he can pretty nearly
anticipate, so that these may appear pur.
posive and intelligent. He may affect tc

A Troublesome Creditor.

The poet Clement Marot, being in very
straitened circumstances, went to the king
and said:
II have come to lay before your majesty
a complaint against one of my creditors,
whose claims have satisfied over and ovel
again, and yet he persists in dunning and
harassing me at every opportunity"
"Who is the scoundrel?" the king In
quired.
"My stomach, sire. Though I have
satisfied its wants time without number,
it never ceases to torment, and am utter
ly incapable Of meeting its demands"
The king was pleased with the joke and

have it on the authority Of DR.. H. c.
McCook that the so called "horse hair
snake" is nothing more nor less than a
parasite which inhabits the bodies of crick-
cts and other insects of that family. He
says that he has not only found the we'll
known semi-lifeless serpentine mass in the
bodies of dissected Crickets, but tells of a
lady friend of his who actually witnessed
the cricket's act of expelling one of these
parasites. The fact that they are usually

The Captains Dinner.

A woman who has just crossed to Eu-
rope for the first time writes home of the
pleasant pomp and ceremony with which
the end Of the voyage is celebrated ON the
last night out.
1T seems, she says, "that it is always
customary, on the German line at least,
and probably on all, to have an especially
elaborate dinner just before arriving in
Southampton, which is .>alled the cap
tain's' dinner. Every one is supposed to
order wine and drink to the health of our
captain, while he responds, toasting the
health and safe journeyings Of his passen-
gers. When we came to the table, we
found 1t decorated with most elaborate
cakes four stories high, with little Ameri-
can and German flags stuck on all sides
and little paper ornaments-truly German.
"We went through a most elaborate
menu, and when we came to the dessert
the walters suddenly disappeared, the mu-
sic stopped and the lights went out. A
hush and sense of expectancy fell upon the
company. Suddenly the music started
lively march, the doors opened, and the
walters appeared bearing trays. On each
was q round globe of rice paper with a
light inside, and around this sat small
Japanese figures made Of ice cream, each
holding in his arms a little umbrella of
lighted oolored paper. The room was per-
fectly dark, and the effect as the walters
marched around and around, forming diff
ferent figures and bearing their illuminat-
ed burdens, was novel and interesting.
Everybody clapped and cheered. Then the
lights were turned on, and we ate the ice
cream men and kept the umbrellas as
souvenirs. New York Times.
