just where the lad came from is not
apparent, but he was rather crisp
looking youngster of IA, small for his
size and foxy about the corners of the
eyes and mouth, says the Detroit Free
Press. He entered the Office of a whole
sale house on Larned street east and
approached the head of the establish
ment, who was in bad humor about
something.
DO you want n boy here?" asked the
applicant for position.
No, we don't want a boy here" re-
sponded the merchant in the ordinary
manner of man in bad humor.
Are you sure, sir?"
"Of course | am. Don't I know my
business? Get OUT"
What's that sitting on the stool over
there?" asked the caller very politely
and without being at all disturbed by
bis reception.
Hes our office boy" replied the mer-
chant, rather taken aback.
"You want him here, don't you?"
"Of course"
Hes a boy, isn't hep
"Yes."
well, then, sir, you are mistaken
when you say you don't want a bov
here. What you really intended saying
was that you didn't need me here.
Good-morning, sir" And before the
merchant could pull himself together
this remarkable youth had got out and
was lost in the crowd on the street.

The recent great naval battle at
Manila reveals some Of the marvels of
tie telegraph and cable system. The
report Of Commodore Dewey's victory
travelled IA, 600 miles, over bays, gulfs,
straits, mountains, valley and plains
before it reached this country. The
message had tc be repeated over and
over again, yet it took only thirty five
minutes actual time to reach New
York City.
Across the China Sea, from Hong
Kong to Cape Bolinao, on Lnzon Is
lad, in the Philippines, a cable was
laid in 1880. The cable is 529.1 miles
long. From Cape Bolinao across the
island to Manila is telegraph line
abont 100 miles long. All the news
we have received from Manila has
been first telegraphed from the Manila
TO the cable station at Cape Bolinao,
ana from there sent on by cable to
Hong Kong.

utes II Call for Girl Students.
The young ladies of the normal
school in Winona were lately thrown
into a furry of excitement, says rhe st.
Paul (Minn.) Dispatch. They were
called into one OF the recitation-rooms
and put through a rigid examination
about the number of callers each had
and a description of each caller. They
were told that ie was highly improper
to receive a caller from out of the city,
and that many of the young men of the
city were not proper persons with
whom to associate.
1t was also considered highly i'm
proper to receive call which was of
more than 20 minutes duration. In all
over dozen questions were required to
be answered, all of which were in regard
to the subject of gentlemen callers.
A number of rules were given to the
young ladies, which they were told they
must obey. Among them was one for
bidding the same young men to call
upon them more than three times a
year. and then the call must be purely
formal and not exceed Is or 20 minutes.
The young ladies were also requested
to furnish a list of their callers and
their characters. and as to the general
subjects of conversation when calling
or riding. and if the landlady where
they boarded approved of the young
men.
Some of the young ladies are indig-
nant, and say they will not submit to
such rules, while others believe they are
all right. and propose to follow them

many incidents and experiences of his

Living in a university city," he SAYS.
Il am occasionally asked by students
how they can best train themselves for
public speaking, and I always begin
with one bit of counsel, based on half IA
century's experience: Enlist in a re-
form. Engage in something which you
feel for the moment so unspeakably
more important than yourself as wholly
to dwarf you, and the rest will come
No matter what it is-tariff or free
trade, gold standard or silver, even com
munism or imperialism-the result is
the same as to oratory, if you are only
sincere. Even the actor on the dra-
matte stage must fill himself with his
part or he is nothing, and the public
speaker on the platform must be more

thing wanting to the eloquence of the

wonderful in the way it overcomes the
obstacles Of a hoarse voice, stammer-

Night in the Sixteenth Century.
The wearing of gloves is a more an
cient custom than it is generally
thought to be. Homer speaks of gloves
and tells of one who wore them to pro-
tect his hands while working in his gar
den, says the New York Tribune. The
use of some coverings for the hands
was known to the ancient Pcrsians and
Old Testament writers also mention
them. They were in such common use
among the Romans that they were worn
even in the wild country by the Britons
st. Anne, the mother Of the Virgin
Mary. was. it has been said, knittc-'
and manufacturer of gloves, for which
reason the glOve-makerS of France lone
ago made her their patron saint. At
one time gloves had certain meaning
attached to them, and were chosen to
show the character or occupation of the
wearer. There are records of glove
being ordered for grave and spiritual
men" Aboat this time. the sixteenth
century, gloves made of chickens skins
were used by both men and women for
| whitening the hands and were worn at

GLASS SKATES.
They Are the Latest Feature in ISe
Kinks This Winter


Kinks This Winter
The newest feature of interest in the
New York ice rinks is the use of glass
skates. 1t is found that skates with
glass runners are far better, both for
speed and ease III gliding for pleasure,
than a.e the skates with metal runners,
and several pairs are now being used in
one of the metropolitan rinks. The in
ventor has succeeded in reducing the
glass to hardness that insures an edge
which practically never becomes blunt.
Ihe tempering process remains Sc
cret, but it is fact that severe contact
with hard ice does not fracture the
glass. To look al these skates one would
not suppose they were made of any
thing else than metal, for the runners
are always colored in order to disguise
the substance of which they are made
The coloring process is arbitrary, and
tintS in the case of ladies' skates are
always made to correspond with the
colors of the wearer's costume The
runners of these glass skates are at
tached directly to an especially made
shoe which laces from the heel up the
back. The combination not only gives
Il skate which is perfectly easy in mo-
ton, but the high shoe stiffens the ankle
to an extent which greatly aids in the
enjoyment and adds to the safety of the
