Rou to Manage a Grocer.
BY ELVIRA +. FROEMCKE.
"Se&GsSS&sS&&SsGGS&SeGee@

FTYlERE are few people who study,
ever 50 briefly, the daily irritating
cares Of a grocer's life. The large trials
he bears with a quietness that APP
proaches the calm of despair. As for the
smaller ones, no one knows of them.
He does not tell the veNing cares of
a cold morning. when everything that
should pour remains solid and unyield-
ing: when corks will persist in COM
ing forth and bringing with them fluids
which should stay quietly in their glass
or stone bottles. When eggs, fruits and
vegetables are frostbitten or frozen
into uselessness, and when butter and
cheese crumble to atoms under the
sharpest knifebIade.
Nor does he mention the trying spring
and summer days, that abound in busy
life, when the fly, maggot, the roach
and red ant infest every article from
biscuits to molasses. Fancy how great
a patience is necessary to meet and
overcome these trifies and don a sml-
ing countenance to meet customers.

A man who was bald with the cNccp-

around the back of his head from ear

unusual case" he said, after greetings
had been exchanged What ! came to
find out is this-can a persons name
be changed"
"Certainly. All he has TO do is to
show some good and sufficient reason
for adopting another name, and it can
be very easily arranged"
Il know that. But can it be done
without the knowledge or consent of
the party most interested?'
"Why, of course not"

INTERNATIONAL COURTESY.
American Reminds British Captain
to salute the Queen.

"Not often does a United States man
of-war pass the Fourth of July in
British harbor," one of the older naval
officers on reading about the Brooklyn's
stay in Southampton is reported to have
said. 1T is our practice to save the
Britishcrs the necessity OF firing three
p gun salutes on thai day. as neces-
sarily they remember what happened
ON the glorious Fourth and naturally
they don't feel like celebrating the am
niyersary. So before the Fourth OF
July our men-of-War almost never fail
to leave a port where the British have
jurisdiction.
But, speaking Of national holidays
and Salutes. ! recall an amusing Incl
dent that happened in 1870. The United
States flagship Franklin was at anchor
n the harbor of Malaga, Spain. in com
pauy with a large British ironclad.
Capt. Carp Rodgers commanded the
Franklin. and | will call the ironclad' )
commander Capt. Dun. When one
man-of-war in harbor celebrates Il
national holiday it is customary for all
other warships in the same harbOr to
celebrate il also. Consequently early
in the morning of May "a the Franklin
was prepared to dress ship in honor of
Queen Nictoria's birthday. and at day
break our quartermasters were watch
ing the British ship, ready to follow
her motions. as we say in the navy.
