The Woman md the Chr.

It's strange thing about women and
cable cars when the time comes for
them to part. \ man or 4 boy will just
naturally drop off the car and start
along the street as if nothing had hap
pened, but let a woman attempt to
emulate his example and sad work
does she make of it. Even a rainy
day costume doesn't help her out much,
for skirts have little to do with her
Dungling method of leaving the car
1t is Il matter that cannot be explained
so easily as can her inability to throw
ball, for i'll the latter case anatomy
is at fault.
Sometimes she puzzles over it her
self, but in the majority of cases she
gives the matter no thought, but Sim
ply rises, grasps the railing. and,
whether the car is at n standstill or
in motion, steps off backward. Some
one should be able to offer a reason
able explanation of the very apparent
fact that her impulse in that case is to
do the incorrect thing. Even when she
carefully studies the subject and trains
herself to face in the same direction in
which the car is moving it never
seems natural to her.-New York

The Curate's Trousers.

A clergyman who has been an ideal
rector to one congregation for more
than 20 years has had wide eXpe-
rience in curates. He knows them like
a book, as the saying is. knows just
what effect an unlimited course OF
afternoon teas, committee meetings,
little dinners and general flattery will
have on a given temperament and how
it will be manifested.
Therefore. he has evolved this gener-
al law: II the carpet before Il curate's
mirror is threadbare and the crease in
his trousers above reproach, you may
be sure that the world is too much
with him; if the carpet by his bedside
is threadbaTe and his trousers bag At
the knee, he is all right.-Washingt

A Libel on Gotham.

The nearest approach to a system
ever yet made by n New York deputy
assessor of personal taxes was invent
ed by one who was somewhat of 4
card player.
He took pack of cards, gave Il value
to each card and then drew Il card
from the pack for each name on his
list. \ deuce meant $1,000, a tray So
600, 4 four $4,000 and so on up to the
knave, which was valued at $4,000,
the queen at $4,000. the king at $40
600 and the ace at $4,000. If anything
less than 4 five spot was drawn, he
erased the name from the list. as it is
customary TO assess only those who
are supposed to possess 5000 or more
of personal estate.
The especially amusing thing about
this mans work was that there were
fewer objections made to his assess
mentS than 10 those of any other depu-
ty. He gained Il reputation for hard
work. and his salary was raised twice
in one year.-Buffalo Express.

He Held ON to His Knife

old painter named William McCul-
Tough while painting the bridge above
the falls between the first and second
Sister islands fell into the rapids. In
stantly he was swept furiously toward
the cataract, but whirled into lesser
waves so that he struck against and
seized a rock not far above the brink
Hundreds quickly gathered on the
shore and watched, all eager to help,
but ignorant what to do. Among them
was Thomas Conroy, who secured n
coil of rope, fastened one end to Il tree
on shore and with the other end in his
hand wadcd out as far as he could and
occasionally swan, the water being
from IS inches to six feet deep.
He aimed far up stream to allow for
the power of the current and at last
with great difficulty reached the unfor-
tunate painter and bound him to him
self with the rope. They were swept
off their feet several times on the way
back to shore, but the rope had been
firmly fastened. and they finally landed
safely. When they reached shore it
was found that Mccullough still clutch
ed his putty knife firmly in his hand,
having held it during the three hours
he had been on the brink of the falls

TRUTH AND A TRUNK.
Look Out For Baggage If Woman

l know Il woman who travels around
the country with n trunk as big as n

are of no avail, and it seems to me the

said, But they are only TO look after

stitutiOn to get the Daggageman under

She did not appear at all discom-
posed. The last time she went away

house was in an awful turmoil, and
the trunk was on the third floor.

say. At the remark the expressman
