The Eternal Womanly In the Rough Girls
 of New York.
 In the girls of the rougher tenement house districts the eternal womanly wears such disguise of the eternal gamin that it cannot always be reeog- nized. Their pertness and saueiness are only sharpened by their precocity and their tombov habits of street Arabia. A reporter recently had occasion to visit lower Washington street. to ascertain the facts regarding the murder of . boy down there He was obtaining his in- formation from the boys of the neigh borhood, who might have been play mates of tse dead youth A circle of them, together with three or four girls of } or ] { years, was gathered around him.
 A big, hulking youth about 20 years old arrogated to himself the place of spokesman. He WAS evidently the ty- rant, the bully of the street, young Bill the Brute Hho had not yet ac- quired wife 10 be@r and was eonse- quently Ill object of great interest to these misses whose skirts hal not yet grown down to tbeir aallles With his big, harsh voice he silenced every inter ruption of his tale, saying:
 Shut up there I'm telliu this yarn.
 Of course this adjuraiion, which forms a part of tue ordinary courtesy of the neighborhood, did not quiet the girls. They ehai1ed him and the report CT and giegled until at last the speaker said to the reporter:
 Don't mind them They're no count They re nothin bnt girig
 Of course he Il mind us, smarty, instantly retorted ono of the girls We's the maxim of ladies

1T DIDN'T AFFECT BUSINESS.
None of the Druggists Customers
Could Read Japanese.

Chicagoans, as a rule, are not con-
versant with the japanese alphabet.
There are very few who could read a
billet doux or comprehend an excoria-
ten in that kind of characters. An in
cident which occurred recently illus
trates this very well.
About six months ago a druggist on
one of the prominent streets on the
South side decided to adopt the reign
ing japanese craze and have his store
hambooed all over. He got down
town firm of decorators at work. They
were not long in giving every conceiv-
liable thing in the store fshing-rod eff
feet. Besides this, they put a few
dragons on the ceiling and some Yum
Yums above the soda water fountain,
and finally, to complete a very ornate
job. they placed on one side of the door
frame on the outside of the building a
japanese scroll.
The store was the admiration of the
proprietor and all his friends. He in
formed himself on japanese lore and
was able to explain everything pretty
well except the inscription outside. 1t
looked good deal like a laundry ticket,
but he assured his friends that, to be
honest with them, he didn't think it
meant anything. and was merely an idle
creation of the man who did the work.
After some time it passed out of his
mind.
One day last week, however. a sub
ject of the mikado, who is studying in
Chicago, came into the store with a
broad grin on his face.
"Do you mean" he asked, what you
say on the sign outside?"
The druggist explained that he didn't
know exactly what it said.
well, then" said the japanese, "I'll
translate it for you. 1t reads: Our
prices are the highest, and our goods
all STALE"

A grooming lullaby on summers breast;
A breeze signs softly through the wood

A wild bird twitters on its fledgelings'

Dim silver stars keep watch from purple

A radiant moon lights earth with rare
enchantment.
And night filings jewels to the drowsy
flowers.
