The Alpine Good Night.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-
waited valleys of Switzerland the Alpine
horn has another use besides that OF
sounding the farfamed "Ranz des
Vaches, or COW song, and this is of a
very solemn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set in the valley
and the snowy SUBMITS Of the noun
tains CLEAN with golden light, the herds
man who dwells upon the highest hab-
liable spot takes his horn and pro-
nounces clearly and loudly through it,
as through speaking trumpet, Praise
the Lord God" AS soon as the sound is
heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words.
This frequently lasts quarter of an
hour, and the call resounds from all the
mountains and rocky cliffs around.
When silence again reigns, the herds
men kneel and pray with uncovered
heads. Meantime it has become quite
dark. "Good night" at last calls the
highest herdsman through his horn.
The words resound from all the noun
tains, the horns of the herdsmen and
the cliffs, and the mountaineers then re-
tire to their dwellings.-Pittsburg Dis

his lips looked pallid and drawn with

An Original Order,

An order came to wholesale hard
ware house one day last week.
That is, it was presumably an order,
for it was written under business
heading and had all the general appear
ances.
The employe who opened the letter
studied 1t and said 1t beat anything he
had seen up to date.
He sent 1t to a member of the firm.
who read it and threw up both hands.
Since then he has been showing it to
his friends. 1t was written by rural
dealer, and is as follows:
"Gentlemen-Please send me at once
two long-handled shovels, one dozen
slxteen-inch hinges and two kegs OF
tenpenny nails. Yours truly,

They boarded an east bound Market
street car at Forty first street. 1t was
after O'Clock in the morning, and he
wanted to smoke, having probably just
dined or supped at q ball which was be-
ing given in the neighborhood. She
didn't want to smoke and she didn't
want to be separated from him.
"Come ON inside the car, !" she plead
ed.
"No," he answered. 81 am going to
smoke. Go inside yourself, and when ]
have finished my cigar will join you.
But this didn't suit her.
"If you stay out here to smoke" she
yetorted. "I'll stay right with you."
He looked at her moment, and then
evidently concluded that she was bluff
ing. Pulling out a big cigar, he lighted
it, and, settling himself comfortably
against the dashboard of the car, he be-
gan to pull away as if his life depended
upon it. Nothing daunted, she took a
place alongside of him and calmly fold
ing her arms started up lively con-
versation.
The spectacle was an odd one, and at.
tracted the attention of every passenger
in the car as we'll as of those who got
ON at various corners He tried to urge
her inside the car number of times,
but she refused to go. In this fashion
the two rode across the bridge and hall

Then he took a seat away up in tn
front end, and she settled herself besid
him. Meanwhile the whole car smiled

about young fellow who bought books

burned in cigars, and thought would
try to do the same. You may remember
that I said should allow myself one

"Yes, recall the conversation, but
don't quite see the connection.
"Well, never smoked, but put by
the price of a cent cigar every day,
and as the money accumulated
bought books-the very books you see. "

books cost no more than thatl Why,
there are dollars worth Of them"

Thrifty George Curzon.

The Hon. George Curzon, who mar
ried beautiful Miss Letter, is decidedly
canny. He recently rented a country
mansion furnished. but without the
family plate, and SO was compelled to
provide candlesticks for the house. He
tried to exact from the landlords agent
O pledge that at the expiration of the
lease he would take these candlesticks
off his hands at two-thirds of what they
cost. The agent demurred at first, but
when he discovered that they were 10
in number, of japanned tin and cost 40
cents each, he solemnly agreed to pay
