A BAD EGG.
An "X-Ray" Tester That Deos Not Prove
Monetary Bonanza.

| A gentleman known by the not alto =.
| gether uncommon cognomen of W.
| liams, with H. G. as distinguishing ini-
| tials, has got himself into trouble by
being too enterprising.
The demand for the succulent hen
| fruit is so constant and large that he
thought it would be a good idea to devise
an egg tester that would suit the needs
of the average materfamilias. He con-
centrated all the power of his brain upon
the matter with the result of devisinG
what he called an "X-ray" egg tester.
He noised abroad the merits of his in
vention and two gentlemen, estimable
in their way, but apparently of the
sucker" variety" named F. w. Marsh
and G. E. Pruner, who entered into
contract with Williams for the purchase
of patent rights. The following is copy
of the, contract:
Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 1886.

of 81 to me in hand paid by F. w. Marsh

Marsh and Pruner put up the munifi-
cent sum of SIS for the right to manufac-
ture and sell the "X-ray" contrivance
under the above contract, but their joy
at having fortune within their reach was
short lived They discovered that SINH
lar rights had been sold to others besides
themselves, and there was no guarantee
that 'X-ray" testers would not be as
thick as blackberries on the reserved
ground and they began to investigate.

About Winter Crepons.

A practical hint of the future is gath
cred from the gossip of the shops. One
of the richest yet most conservative Of
the dry goods stores when sending two
buyers abroad in search of woolen
goods for next winter instructed them
not to buy crepon, believing this fabric
to have had its day Of favor with Amer
lean women. At last report these buy
ers cabled home that they must buy cre-
pom rs there is little or nothing else in
the European market for the next sea-
son. At another house Of great repute
more than two-thirds of the wool sam
Piles received for next winter are crepon,
but in new and fanciful weaving, diff
ferent from anything now seen. These
crepons of the future are also two-toned,
some of them changeable, others in
stripes and plaids.
These facts are Of value to economists,
who find crepons at greatly reduced
prices filling the counters of the shops,
many of them a dollar less in the yard
than was asked ut the beginning of the
season. Black, cornflower blue, golden
brown, and violet are apparently safe
colors to buy, and it is well also to look
for those barred or striped in two colors,
and also dotted, as season of fancy
fabrics is predicted.-Harper's Bazaar.

Washington Is q Good Place to

Good Stories of Polite Gentlemen, Nervous
=, .Cranks and Insunerable Doors
Why 1t Pays to be Civil
Always.
Especial Washington letter.

It costs nothing to be polite. John
Boyd, the agent of the Pacific railroad
magnate, Huntington, became q sue
,cessful man of business by being po-
lite. He was an assistant doorkeeper
in the national house of representa-
tives when MIR. Huntington came there
to ask for a certain member of cen
Gress. The other doorkeepers paid no
attention to him, but John Boyd went
out of his way to accommodate the
stranger. Very soon after that he was
employed by Mr.. Huntington and has
prospered. He owns his own home, and
his fortune is made. 1t began by coed
breeding and courteous treatment of
Others.
There are many employees Of the cap
itol building and many more in the
executive departments at Washington
who might well emulate the example
of John Boyd. Some of them think
that they own the government. They
look away down at common folks.
Some of them are simply overwhelm-
ing. They have the shadow OF Ches-
tertieldian courtesy, it is true, but the
substance is woefully lacking. A rep
rescntative of this species is fairly
good-looking man, and rather young.
His barber gives him regular and care
full attention. He presents a large ey-
posure of shirt-front, spotIessly white
aud creaselessly stiff, high collar and
n necktie Of the latest shape and figure.
No writer Of books on etiquette could
find a flaw in his manner or words.
They are as exact as the multiplication
table. But the oppressiveness of Dig
nifty which he let's fall on those who
address him is appalling. The farmer
or artisan who may have talked with
q senator, and found him pretty much
as other men are, will not have appre-
.ciated how great some representatives
of the people can become until he
meets one of these rare clerks.
The young man particularly referred
to here is a clerk in the state depart
ment. He has more diplomacy in his
head and less in his manners than any
other man in the city. A very ordi-
nary man in size and appearance en-
tered the room which this clerk oc-
cupies and asked where the office of
the chief Of the consular bureau could
be found. The dude never raised his
eyes from the newspaper before him.
The question was angrily repeated, and
the department dude languidly ,e-
sponded, without lifting IN eyelid:
"Ask messenger" The visitor
stepped into the room, knocked the
paper out Of the hands of the clerk,
slapped his arm and said: "You i'm
pertinent rascal, get up and lead Inc
to the chief of the consular bureau or
I'll have you out Of this office in five
minutes"

ally utilizes the cupful of cold oatmeal,
hominy or wheat left from breakfast in
the following way: A thin layer of the
porridge is put in the bottom of small
pudding dish and seasoned with
sprinkling Of grated cheese, salt and

of stewed tomatoes added. Another
layer is seasoned in the same way.
Sometimes the top layer is busted with
fine bread crumbs. The dish is heated

served with roast meat. Atother times
a cupful of gravy and the tomatoes are
used in making this excellent course.
Occasionally it is used as the base of a

eaten with whipped or plain cream, and
preserved fruit, or sauce Of stewed

Why Parents Should Develop Precisi0a
and Accuracy in Children.

Why Parents Should Develop Precisioa
and Accuracy in Children.
There is no habit that young people
can acquire that is likely to be so vall-
able to them in every relation of life as
the habit Of being exact. Indefinite
ness is crying fault Of youth. 1t is an
easy thing to get into slipshod habits
Of thought and work. Such work may
be brilliant, but unless work is directed
toward definite purpose it is valueless.
Thought that appears in brilliant
flashes is as useless for guidance as the
light Of jacA-o'-lantern. A beacon
light must be steady and certain. The
value of fixed definite purpose in life,
steadily adhered to, cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t is the secret of success, end
SO fully is this recognized that some
one has defined genius merely as the
power Of persistence. He who has
ability to maintain a fixed purpose in
spite of disappointments and apparent
failures, must, in the end, win. it he Is
guided by honor and truth.
Exact habits are best formed In
youth. 1t. is next to impossible for a
man or woman who has grown up in
"happy-go-lucky" habits of work to
turn back and learn to be exact. Par
ents often excuse inaccuracy and care
less ways in children on account OF
their youth. 1t is great mistake to do
this. While youth cannot be justly bur-
dened with the cares of age, yet what-
ever young person is called on to do
should be accurately done. The COM
mon habit Of acquiring smattering
of many things should be discouraged
as vice. 1t is far better for the young
student to have two studies and pursue
these to the definite purpose of COM
pretending them thoroughly than to
take up dozen, of which he can only
secure frivolous knowledge.
The habit of giving simple, accurate
Information is most rare aud valuable
one. Not one person in ten can give def
mite, clear directions on any stated
subject of which they have full knowl-
edge. Yet this is habit which SUCCESS
full business men are compelled to ae
auire. The trained specialist in any
branch of art or science is chiefly valu-
able because he has learned to crystallize
his information and reduce it from
raporous theory to something that can
be made practical. From the earliest
childhood, children can be taught to
be exact and clear. This is the chief
value of the kindergarten system,and it
should be supplemented by home
training for the same object. Children
who learn to know what they are
taught clearly and definitely will have
nothing to unlearn. no superstitions
and false ideas to correct when they
reach maturer wears. An early train
irg in definite, correct methods of work
has trained the mind as well as the
hand, so that, the small student from
these schools is at once ready to enter
the paths Of higher knowledge by a
royal road.-N. Y. Tribune.
