His French.

''You know" said the man in the
elevated train, that I am studying
French, and l believed, at my last
lesson, that had thought upa good
way of remembering it. I was to
have, among other things, the nu-
neral adjectives. 1t is hard to re-
member them when they haven
the slightest resemblance to the
other English numerals, so I tried
TO keep them in mind by compar-
ison. For instance, five was sure
of-'Cinq, Sank, Sankey.' You see

"And did you do it2''
"No," answered the French stu

The oftener one gives exercise to
any faculty-uses, not abuses, it
the stronger and more flexible it be
comes. A Frenchman said once on
time that whenever he wanted a
book on certain subject and could
not find it he wrote one.
There is tremendous lesson in
that; it means that each one of u,
can find out as much about any
thing we wish to be informed upon
as any other human being in the
world if we will only determine to
do so. We can achieve and conquer
anything another can if we make up
our minds to the performance of it
and make the determination the
law of our life. Success has it's

The Duelist's Disease.

DR.. Pean, according to the Paris
Figaro, was once called as physi-
clan to attend a duel. One of the adj
versaries was so cowardly that he
ran away after the first shot, un-
hurt. The four seconds, the remain
ing combatant and the doctor stood
looking at each other with embar-
rassment and discontinue, when
DR.. Pean broke the silence by say
ing gravely, II know the disease
that has suddenly attacked this gen
tleman. And, taking out his pen
Gil and paper, he drew up report
as follows: Sat the first slot Mr.. X.
was taken with a sudden attack of
tachypodia that would not yield to
treatment. The seconds, therefore,
on consultation with the physician,
stopped the duel" Thus honor"
was saved.

Getting Her Moneys Worth.

A young woman I know went to
spiritualist seance once upon an
evening, and though she strained
every nerve in an effort to concen-
trate her mind on her dear and gone
acquaintances there was no message
for her. Quite late in the evening
the medium announced the presence
of spirit calling himself Uncle
Jimmy. The young woman immedi-
ately rose and claimed him. Uncle
Jimmy said he was doing nicely,
sent his love to all the family and
departed. AS the young woman left
the hall the escort ventured to say:
Why, l didn't know you ever
had an uncle named Jimmy
IT never did, said the young wo-
man cheerfully, "but I wasn't going
to pay SO cents to get into that Sc
ance and not get anything at all fer
my money. Washington Post.

.,e tne card In Ham sanaw,cn.

On Sunday evening a party of
poker experts were seated in a prom
inent up town hotel lobby, and some
good stories were the outcome. One
of the veterans at thumbing the
pasteboards related an incident in
his own career where he had been
dealt six cards.
ut was at critical stage of the
game" said the old sport, "and
when I looked at the cards they
were of the most needful Variety
what did you do with the sixth
cardf" queried an attentive listener.
II ordered ham sandwich" was
the reply, "and, concealing the card
between the bread and meat, ate the
whole outfit. :"
When the laugh over this story
was ended. another member of the
party told of jack pot which was
opened on pair of mines. In the
draw the holder of this pair took in
another nine spot and cleaned up
the table pretty thoroughly with
three mines. When it came to show
down, the query was made, "What
did you open witha"
Innocently enough the holder of
the big hand acknowledged pair
of mines. His hand was claimed to
be a foul one, and the pot was di-
vided among the players according
to their bets. This procedure did
not suit the jack pot opener, and he
left the table, denouncing all pres
ent as sharpers and swindlers.-

MARK TWAIN's ADVICE.
When Taken. 1t Always Landed Man
In q Comfortable Berth.

Mark IVAN las found situations
for many a man in unique way.
When any one asked k:&l for help
along that line, he would write the
delighted applicant cordial affirm
alive, asking him to pick out any
position he preferred and to aim
high. The desired position being
selected, Mark would simply fire
back at the applicant the following
instructions. In every case, where
they were carried out in good faith,
they landed the worker at the tor of
the ladder. Here they are:
Formula:
First. By benefcent law of our
human nature every man is ready
and willing to employ any young
fellow who is honestly anxious to
work-for nothing.
Second.-A man once wonted to
an employee and satisfied with him
is loath to part with him and give
himself the trouble Of breaking in a
new man:
Let us practice upon these foibles.
Instructions:
First. -You are to apply for work
at the Office of your choice.
Second. You are to go without
recommendations. You are not to
mention my name, nor any ones
but your own.
Third.-You are to say that you
want no pay; that all you want is
work-any kind of work. You make
no stipulation You are ready to
sweep out, point the pencils, replen-
ish the inkstands, hold copy, tidy
up, keep the place in order, run
errands-anything and everything.
You are not particular. You are so
tired of being idle that life is a bur
den to you. All you want is work
and plenty Of it. You do not want
a pennyworth Of remuneration. N.
B.-You will get the place, whether
the man be generous one or sell
fish one.
Fourth. must not sit around
and wait for the staff to find work
for you to do. You must keep
watch and find it for yourself.
When you can't find it, invent it.
You will be popular there pretty
soon, and the boys will do you a
good turn whenever they can.
! When you are on the street and see
a thing that is worth reporting, go
to the Office and tell about it. By
and by you will be allowed to put
such things on paper yourself. In
the morning you will notice that
they have been edited and a good
many Of your words left out-the
very strongest and best ones too
That will teach you to modify your
self. In due course you will drift
by natural and sure degrees into
daily and regular reporting and will
find yourself on the city EDITORS
staff without any ones quite know
ing how or when you got there.
Filthy this time you have be-
come necessary, possibly even in
dispensable. Still you are never to
mention wages. That is matter
which will take care of itself. You
must wait. By and by there will
be vacancy on neighboring pa
per. You will know all the report
ers in town by this time, and one or
another of them will speak of you,
and you will be offered the place at
current wages. You will report this
good fortune to your city editor,
and he will offer you the same
wages, and you will stay where you
are.
Sixth. - Subsequently, whenever
higher pay is offered you on another
paper, you are not to take the place
if your original employer is willing
to keep you at like price. Nc

PRICES FALL.
Gains Made Tuesday Were
Wiped Out Yesterday.
No News of Disturbing Nature to Ac-
count for the Decline Bonds Show
Weakness in Sympathy.

New York, March 2.-The net result
of today's trading in stock is the prac-
teal wiping out of yesterdays gains in
prices. This was done on diminished
volume of business. The decline was not
accompanied by any development of
general conditions which could account
for it, and there was no reflection of
any news of the day in movement un-
hess in the slightly Increased selling
movement in the final hour. This was
started on rumors attaching Importance
to the sending of two warships to Cuban
waters with provisions for the recon-
centrados But today's decline, for the
most part, was technical and marked
the culmination of the recovery from
last weeks sharp fall. This short rally
invariably follows a heavy decline, and
the professional bidders were highly
alert for its end this morning Longs
in the first hour were large and the
movement of prices very narrow. The
commission house buying invited by yes
terday's strong market was sufficient
to absorb realizing offers for time, but
the market became overweighted and
commenced to sag.
A period of intense dullness intervened
and then the hears opened an attack
on number Of the specialties, notably
sugar, Manhattan, Peoples Gas and
Metropolitan Street Railway. The
grangers were also under pressure, and
New York Central was heavily sold.
Most of the days business was done in
these stocks and all suffered marked
net losses from l to over 8 points. The
movement in Metropolitan was very err
ratio the opening transactions carrying
it to 1856, the high point of the day.
London was both buyer and seller
here, but the sales predominated, al
though the tone of American securities
on foreign exchange was rather better
and Spanish bonds were also higher.
The money market continued firm to-
day, without any very active pressure
to borrow. There was a good supply,
however, of commercial paper and the
rates were fractionally higher There
was a payment of 81, 600 900 to the gov
eminent today on account of the Kansas
Pacific sales, and the treasury was
creditor at the clearing house in the
sum of $S1S, 725. This had its effect on
the money market and took the place of
the regular weekly withdrawal of an
instalment of the governments deposits
on account of Union Pacific sale, which
has been discontinued for the present.
Sterling exchange hardened an addi
tional fraction in response to the firmer
tone of the London money market.
The tendency of the bond market was
toward weakness, in sympathy with
stocks. Total sales, S2,6T5, 900.
