Wasted Time.

Watch any ordinary coming together
of people and see how many minutes it
will be before somebody frets. That is,
makes more or less complaining state
ment of something or other, which most
probably every one in the room knew
before, and which probably nobody can
help. Why say anything about it? 1t is
cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry; some
body has broken an appointment, or i'll
cooked meal; stupidity or bad faith
somewhere has resulted in discomfort
there are plenty Of things to fret about,
if we are weak enough to heed trifies.
1t is simply astonishing how much an
noyance may be found in the course Of
every days living, even at the simplest,
if one only keeps sharp lookout on
that side of things. Even Holy Writ
says we are prone to trouble as sparks
fly upward. But even to the sparks fly
ing upward, in the blacklist of smoke,
there is n blue sky above, and the less
time they waste on the road the sooner
they will reach it. Fretting is all time
wasted ON the road. - Pittsburg Dis

Cosmopolitan New York.

A curious characteristic of New York
is the extraordinary mixture Of Ian
guages that has come about within the
last few years Few people living on
Fifth avenue or its short side street
tributaries realize that there are miles
Of this city where English is either not
spoken at all or brokenly, where there is
mixture of tongues as confusing as
ever made trouble on the tower of Ba-
bel.
A Russian emigrant who settled on
the east side studied German six years
before she discovered it was not the Ian
guage of the country. She was not a
stupid woman, but her tenement and
her street were German and her world
did not reach beyond. New York Jour

RupAYEFF MYSTERY.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 27.-A number of city
detectives are making vigorous effort to
solve the mysterious disappearance Of Mi
chael Rudayoff, wealthy real estate man
of New York city, whose relatives fear he
has met with foul play somewhere in this
vicinity.
Rudayen left New York last May, in
tending to visit Colorado for his health.
Before starting he shipped his trunk to
his cousin, living in ST. Louis, saying he
would stop over and visit him on his way
west. Rudayeff did not come, but about a
month ago his cousin received a letter from
him dated at Denver, which stated that
the writer intended to start east in few
days. Since then no word has come from
him. 1t is the opinion of his relatives that
he has been foully dealt with. Rudayeff
had about $4,000 in his possession when
he left New York
