Realism.

"That installment of your new story was very interesting. said the editor of the story page, "but there was one thing about your manuscript that l failed to understand. l thought for minute that you were forgetting how to spell. L"
 'If there is anything pride myself on. it is being good speller. I have of. ten wished that had put in the time l spent in acquiring the art of spelling words of six syllablos in learning to cal esslate compound interest
 ''I know that Your reliability in that respect made the sentence that l refer to all the more mysterious.
 Maybe it was slip of the type writer.
 Possibly. It would have looked ab- surd if had not happened to catch it. At the bottom of the last page, instead of writing, TO be continued in our next, as is customary, you put To be continued in our necks. '"

 "Of course.
 I'm sorry you did. I wanted this story to be something particularly real istic wrote it 'in our necks' because that's where we writers of this style ot fiction invariably get it from both the publishers and the critics. "-Detroit Free Press

The Anrelus Blrd.

When travelling in the forests of Gui- ana and Paraguay, it is not uncommon to meet with bird whose music great ly resembles that of an Angelus bell when heard from a distance. The Span iards call this singular bird bell ring CT, though it may be still moro appro- priately designated as the Angelus bird, for, like the Angelus bell, it is heard three times a day, morning, noon and night Its song, which defies all description, consists of sounds like the strokes of a bell, succeeding one an- other every two CT three minutes, so clearly and in such a resonant manner that the listener. if a stranger. imag- ines himself to be near a chapel or a convent, but it turns out that the for est is the chapel and the bell bird.
 The beauty of the Angelus bird is equal to his talent. He is as large as q jay and as white as snow, besides being graceful in form and swift in motion. But the most curious ornament of the Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched feathers on its beautiful head. It is conical in shape and about inches in length. h.-Guardian Angel

ServAnta In Japan.

Servants are very cheap and very good in Japan. The foreign housewife has nothing to do, and she lives like queen. The Japanese cooks are far better than most American cooks, and $20 a month will pay the board and salaries of the help of an eight room house. A certain foreign resident in Tokyo who lives as we'll as a millionaire would in the United States pays his cook So month. His butler gets $2. 30, and his gardener and second girl get about the same. These servants all board themselves, and the cook does the marketing. The house rent costs less than SEQ month, and Q coachman could be had at S5 a month more. There is no trouble in getting good servants, and they watch after their employers interests and see that he is cheated by none other than them selves. s.-Exchange.

Among annoyGaces Co which hotels arc subjected is one which means ma terial loss at busy times.

Pieces and wholea

Proprietors of stores where musical instruments are sold say that many peo- pie seem quite unable to discriminate between such establishments and those in which printed music is dealt in.
 AS an instance it is related that a young man came into piano store and asked:
 Do you sell piano pieces here'"
 "No," answered the salesman, nothing but pianos whole"
 The intending purchaser opened his eyes in wide and puzzled way and went out apparently wondering whether the salesman thought he wanted frag- ment of a piano. Companion.
