Caught the Wicked.

An alleged literary man inserted an
advertisement in a newspaper requesting
the wickedest woman in New York to
give him an u~nyarnished history of her
life, which he wanted to use in a novel.
In less than a week he received 0Ver
twenty replies, some from educated wom-
en-, others from the creatures of the
slums. One refused to give her right
name or address. but was willing to con-
slider a fair proposition to be agreed
upon at a place to be chosen. All were
eager to air their Wickedness between
yellow covers. And it's pretty safe to
conclude that the eyes of the w~ickedest
woman missed the advertisement, at
that.-New York Letter.

Worth Not First.

There were men dressnakers before
Worth. The first celebrity who made
his mark in this particular line was
Rhomberg, the son of a Bavarian peas
ant from the neighborhood of Munich,
says Pearson's Weekly. One day In
May, 1730, a beautiful equipage was
seen driving about Paris with an es-
cutcheon in the shape of a. corset and an
open pair of scissors in the middle paint
ed on the panel of each door; that was
Rhcmberg's coat-of-arms, and it told it's
own tale. He was a genius in his way,
and owed his success chiefly to his skill
in Disgusting slight deformities and
bringing out the most attractive charms
of his fair customers. He rapidly made
a fortune and left his heirs an annual
income of $4,000.

His First Chance.

DIR. Norvin Green, the longtime presi-
dent of the Western Union Telegraph
company, claimed that he gave Edison
the employment which was the begin
nlng of his successful career, to which,
as is we'll known, the Western Union
corporation has largely contributed. Edi-
son had been bothering the officers Of
the company with telegraphic devices
they had no need of. He came into the
office one day when it was impossible to
obtain communication between New
York and Albany, and the seat of the
difficulty could not be located. He was
banteringly invited to remedy the trou-
BILE. He said he could do so in two
hours. He was laughed at and given
two days for the task. His process was
very simple. He telegraphed to the best
operator in pittsburg, and instructed him
to telegraph to the best operator in AL
bany. The latter telegraphed his New
York line down as far as he could, feel
ing his way from point to point, and
sending the results to the Pittsburg man.
who forwarded them to Edison. In less
than one hour Edison said to the anxious
officials: '"The break is two miles from
Poughkeepsie." That simple method in
sured his status with the Western Union
people and won for him a hearing in all
his schemes.-Philadelphia Times.

Mr.. w. c.. Lewis, who is con-
nected with the artistic advertising
department of the Youths Com
panion, and resides at 33 Dwight
street, Boston, relates that he had
his attention called to Ripans
Tabules by a business acquaintance
who expressed a high opinion of
them. Mr.. Lewis was a good deal
troubled with what he describes as
q nervous, bilious condition that
appeared to be brought on from
time to time by high pressure work
or special mental activity or
excitement, such as would be
common at periods Of unusual
nervous tension. 1t has become his
praeice at such times to take a
Tabule-just One-at the moment
that he observes the difficulty
approaching. 1t makes no difference
when it is. A favorable result is
invariably apparent within twenty
minutes. The only noticeable
effect is that he feels all right in
twenty minutes if he takes the
Tabule; while if he does not the
nervous, uncomfortable feeling

afternoon and tired evening. He
carries one Of the little walls with
him all the time now, but doesn't
have occasion to apply to it any,
thing like as often as he did at
first. Nowadays there are frequent
periods of from a week to ten days
OF even two weeks during which he
finds that he has no occasion
whatever to make use of the
Tabules, but still carries them in his
pocket, just the same, SO that they
may be ready if an occasion occurs.

rative office is sadly curtailed from the
delicacy Of their materials and their
hitherto difficult cleansing. The spot
to be cleaned must be spread on q fiat
surface and the crumbs laid on it; then
with soft, clean cloth these are
rubbed around and around with even
strokes. The crumbs must be frequent
ly renewed, the soiled ones thrown
away and fresh layer put on. When
the cleansing operation Is over, light
shaking or brushing with soft, fine
brush removes every vestige OF crumb
dust, and the result, even in the most

the hotel with nice little gentleman
from New York, as dainty as flower,
and he had just struck an oasis of pie
in the dessert, and was subdividing it
with his knife. The little man became
so absorbed in watching him eat that
pie as to attract the rough mans at
uention.
"What you watchin me fer?" asked
the rough man, iercely.
Merely to settle an important ques-
tion in my mind" replied the little
man as brave as lion.

rough man, hitting the table with his
fist.
"Well," replied the little man, 81

And somehow the rough man didn't
jump on the little man and mop the

der ncing Done.
1t was morning. Occasionally be-
lated householder, detained from his
duty, came down his front step, hur-
riedly buttoning his gloves A few
pedestrians could be seen strolling
along, and the strident notes of a dis
tant vendcr of fruit came hoarse and
mutflcd across the ear. But, aside from
this, nothing disturbed the usual quiet
of one of the most select resident
streets of the great city, until sudden
ly there was borne on the air success
sion of piercing shrieks, SO startling,
containing so much of human anguish,
that the faces of strong men blanched,
and total strangers stopped involun-
tarily and talked to each other ex-
citedly, as they listened with craning
nec1s to the sounds of the awful
tragedy that was being enacted near
by. In moment crowd had col
lected, and brcathlcss ordinations Of
"where is it?' could be heard on every
side, until one citizen, more acute than
the rest, pointed to the window of
brownstone house in the center of the
block, and as the throng, now growing
larger every moment, gathered in front
of the dwelling, it was plain to all that
some fearful drama was being enacted
within. Occasionally the screams died
away into mournful wall, only to be-
gin afresh, and sounds of a great COM
motion could be heard from the int.
rior. Finally one man, moro venture
some than the others, hastily bounded
up the steps and rang the bell.
A pale and emaciated gentleman, his
face betraying all too plainly the evi
denccs of the terrible conflict going on
within his breast, his whole bearing
showing the deepest anxiety, appeared
In the open door.
"Quick!' cried the man who had rung
the bell, as he waved his hand in the
direction of the many who pressed back
of him. Relieve our suspense. What

ease that i'll became him, the master Of

OURSELVES AND OTHERS.

In Ourselves.

Faults In Others Are Not Always Faults
In Ourselves.
Our own actions do not raise In us
the same feelings as similar actions on
the part of others Egoistic emotion is
more or less present with all. Egoistic
emotion invariably warps the truth.
We do thing, and it seems all right;
another does the same thing, and 1t
seems all wrong. A man of high
moral ideal found fault with his neigh
Dor for working on Sunday about a
suburban house. The following Sun
day men came from the city with
view to purchasing some lots which
the moral man was desirous of selling.
He took the prospective buyers over
the lots with great alacrity, showing
the good points. The neighbor re-
proved the moral man, who became ex-
tremely angry Laborers frequently
denounce trust with great bitterness
of feeling, and yet they proceed to
form a labor trust with the express
purpose of making labor dear and shut
ting off competition. They refuse to
let an outside workman mine coal, ex-
cept at the risk of his life, although
his children may be starving. Do the
workmen experience the same feeling
of indignation at their own conduct in
forming trust as they do toward
other trusts? A woman was one day
genuinely indignant because candi'
dates lacking. certain characteristic
had been elected members of her club.
In less than week she was trying to
secure the admission of friend who
lacked precisely the same quality. No
feeling of Indignation at her own con-
duct rufiied that woman's brow this
timer. P. Hallech, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
