Two Kinda Of widows.

A pretty. gay young Washington
widow excites more or less comments
by the cheerfulness OF her disposition
which is 30 marked that some OF he'
friends have occasionally taken her te
task for forgetting him SO soon, 9
suggestion she indignantly denies
however. But ii remained for bright
woman, who had known her for years
to cap the climax Of rebuke, which
she did not long since, thusly: my
dear, there are two classes OF widows
tho bereaved and the relieved. and
I declare. I almost think you belong te
the latter" The widow thought the
mot SO good that she couldn't gel
angry, and she told it herself. WASH

Jay Gould took . fancy to a preacher
In st. Louis and gave him tip on
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which
was selling at the very top notch,
"Buy 100 shares" he said, "and I'll
guarantee you against loss." A few
weeks aiterward he received letter
from the preacher, informing him that
he had been wiped out and asking fol
his guarantee. A call followed and
Jay gave a check for the amount lost
"But what about my friends?" the
preacher asked.
"I'm not guaranteeing your friends
was the reply. The preacher had told
every one he knew to buy NJ. K. and
T., and Gould profted thereby.-Ne

ture seems to have fitted you, pro-
vided il is honorable.
5-Be conscientious in the discharge
OF every duty. Do your work thor
oughly. No one can rise who Sights
his work.
6--Don't try to begin at the top.
Begin at the bottom and you will have
a chance to rise, and will be surer Of
reaching the top some time.
Trust in hard work. Inscribe
on your banner ''luck is fool, pluck is
a hero"

Human Hair Market.

There is a human hair market at
Morlans in the department OF the
Lower Pyrenees. The market is he'd
every other Friday. Hundreds of
trafficking hair dressers throng to the
little place from far and near to buy
up the hair Of the young peasant girls.
The dealers wander up and down the
long narrow street OF the town, each
with huge pair of bright shears hang
ing from black leather strap around
his waist, while the young girls who
wish to part with their tresses stand
about in the doorways, usually in
couples. Boston Globe.

ESrERrAININe IN THE NAVY.
DfRerencei Between the Pay Of En.
gItsh aud American Officers.

hsGs etAs 49, . - - -
gIish and American Officers.
British naval officers below the rank
of captain receive only hall the pay an
American officer OF the same rank
gets. A senior Lieutenant in the Amer
lean navy gets 81. 400 when on sea Tor
his first four years service. After
that he gets 1900. On shore duty he
gets 81 900 year after the first four
years are up. On an English ship,
says the Chicago News, the ward room
seldom eutertains, and it is probably
that only when the American, Rus
sian and English ships meet that the
officers on board Britisher give any
"blow out" The Russians are great
entertainers and are furnished money
by the Gar to do their duty in this
manner.
On board an American man-of-war
there is a constant round Of gayety in
the ward room. Scarcely day passes
when a ship is in port that from one
TO half a dozen guests may not be
found q. the dinner table, and while
the actu cost OF food may not be in
creased all these officers and guests
require wile, and the mess wine bills
amount up accordingly.
On the other hand. an English ship
can get the best crockery for the tabl,
while Uncle Sam allows only s26 a
year for the china aboard ship. The
consequence is that on many ships the
china provided by the United States
Government remains in the crates in
which it was delivered and the Off
GERS themselves pay for the table fur
nishings. The result is that at the
end OF the month the double-pay
American officer finds himself in pre-
cisely the same straits as his British
brother.
From the rank OF Captain and above
the British have the best OF us. for the
British Government acts on the the
ory that the higher officers should do
the entertaining. A Rear Admiral in
the United States Navy at sea gets
5000, but his British brother Of the
same rank gets 10000 and a liberal
allowance OF table money. The Amer
ican Rear Admiral has no table
money, but nevertheless Is expected
to keep up his end" and entertain
all the princes and potentates that
come his way. An Admiral In COM
mand Of foreign station has severe
drains on his purse snG even at home
station the drain IL not small.
At the time Of the exposition at
New Orleans in 1885, Admiral Jouett
was sent there with the North Allan
tic Aeet, told to entertain literally and
the department would reimburse him.
He spent about 1000 and had to
make row in Congress before he got
$3.50 back. 1t has long been trsdi.
ton In the United States Navy that
only -ch officers should be sent to
European stations.

have taken place on the Lakeside B9uie-
ward. a fine stretch Of road running out
Of Syracuse, and those Interested ia the
big machine and It's work are well satis-
fled with the showings thus Ear made and
are confident that when forced along under
the impulse OF a favuTing breeze and the
fourteen muscular legs Of its riders, the
machine viii cover a mile IN less than Il
minute.
Its riding crew is composed Of seven Of
the best known riders OF the country. The
steersman. William BeX. has already had
considerable experience with the machine
before the masts and sails Were put in po-
Sition. He has guided it over a circular
mile track in one minute and thirty-nine
seconds, takingthe machine IL 8 ndcrew across
the finish line and to a stop i n safety.
Among the other riders OF the crew OF
the machine are Robert F Darling, the de
signer and builder of the septupIet; Frank
l.. Troppe, George Beakbane, Frank La
Velle, Henry Triebert and Charles Duck
row, all OF whom are well-known racing cy
clists. Several OF these men were in the
crew which raced with the Empire State
express, and all OF them have had long eX-
perience in multi-cycle riding. In this

following picture of one OF their pranks:

preached | saw that it was standing in
deed, but | noticed strange grin on the
face Of an orderly holding some horses
Some soldiers lounging near also wore the
same grin, which was intensified on the
countenance of a negro coming down the
walk; and this wild grin rppled and spread
like Il wave as | went in-orderlies, sol
diers, doorkeepcrs, all wore that peculiar
smile. l asked where the boys were.
upstairs, miss the man said; and
heard him chuckle as he turned away. As
l came along the upper corridor, Tad ap-
peared.
''oh, Julia, come and see our cireusI' he
cried when he saw me. We've got Cir
Gus in the attic We're minstrels I've got
to be blackcd up, and Willie can't get his
dress on; it's too big. Pin it up, will you?

| took a. horrified survey, and said:
"A circus Does the President know it?''
''Oh, yes, he knows it, said Tad He
doesn't care; he's got some general or other
in there. Come on-hurryr'
Willie was struggling with the full, long
skirt and fiounces of q lilac silk had seen
Mrs Lincoln wear at5an afternoon recep-
tior, while Bild wore ruffled morning
wrapper, which he was pinning up in bill

When the boys were nearly ready to GO

al the top of his voice; "Old Abe Lincoln
came out of the Wilderness"

hear you" Uds
Il don't care IL Pa does hear, and he don't
care either" said Tad@S'We've got to sing

But some time after as Tad was singing a
campaign songa t oufihouse about Old Abe
splitting rails Willie asked my mother:
Mrs Taft, ought TadUto sing that song?
Isn't it disrespectfuf to- pa?" Tad kicked
the chair, as he alwaySdid when displeased.
and said: Everybody in this world kno WIS

bad taste, and Tad said: well. I'll sing
about John Browns Body, then" He
