GLIMPSE AT STORE LIFE.
1t Possesses Some Features Similar
to Those of a Small Com
munity.

"It would surprise an outsider to
know how much a great retail store re-
sembles a town." remarked a clerk in
such an establishment, reports the New
Orleans Times-Democrat "It has all
the familiar characters of a small COM
munity and all of it's gossip, its circles
and inner circles, and it's class distinc-
tions. In modern department house
you will find certain social leaders and
their regulation system of satellites, all
fully developed. There will be one
group that goes in for frivolity, and an
other group that goes in for literature
and art, and people who are plotting
and scheming to get into this set or
that, just as they do in the outer world.
It is very quaint and amusing. One en-
ploye will have great reputation as a
markable musical genius; certain sec
tons of the establishment will be re-
garded as aristocratic, while others are
looked upon as rather plebeian. In
short, the store is little municipality
within itself, and its people are curious
ly isolated from the outside public.
They revolve in their own particular
orbits, the gossip that flies about the
place deals with the people inside its
walls, and they care very little for any
other news. Their feeling toward an
other establishment is good deal like
the feeling between two rival towns,
and the other folks in the city are all
more or less aliens and outlanders. It's
very curious life, and has to be seen
from the inside to be fully understood.

IN THE BERMUDAS.
There Is a Plague of Cats and Spar
rows and Too Many Worth
less Ours.

People arrivingin New Y ork from Ber
muda say that the island is overrun
by cats and sparrows. The nuisance of
the plague has even been discussed in
the colonial legislature at Hamilton.
Visitors from the United States seek
ing the balmy climate of Bermuda are
complaining especially of the ''cat
gangs" which nightly disturb their
sleep, says the New York Journal.
When the dog tax bill came up before
the Legislature, DR.. t. A. Outerbridge,
one of the members of the council, pro-
posed an amendment. In doing so he
said:
81 should like to see the bill recast
and heavier tax put upon dogs, be-
cause we have too many W>-thless ours
in Bermuda. / should also like to see
tax put upon cats. You may laugh,
but if there is any useless animal in
this world it is a cat Cats may be of
some use in some countries, but they
are of no use here. They do not kill
rats. They do destroy our native birds.
II have not seen a bluebird in six
weeks, and there ought to be plenty
of them here now from America |
have not seen one this year, and before
long all our native birds will be exter-
inated-between the cats and the
sDarrOWs"

WOMEN OUTLAWS.
Young Amazons of kurdistan Who
Take to the Road as
Br;=ands.

The Kurdish women are also devoted
to IN outdoor life. Quite as enterpris-
ing and interchangeable as the men in
their race, they are ever on the alert,
ready to leap to the saddle. where.
though not graceful riders, they are at
home and able to keep up with the men
in their adventurous wanderings, says
the New York Tribune.
A recent traveller in Kurdistan tells
of meeting a girl of the Bulbassi tribe
who had just killed with a spear Turk
who insulted her. This young Amazon
was dressed like man and served the
chief. FaZullah Etfendi. as his faithful
henchman. following him in all his wan
behring's. The women of this tribe are
all particularly hardy and intrepid.
Frequently they take to the road by
themselves as brigands, and luckless
indeed is the traveller or trader who
falls into their hands Not content
with robbinS him. they pinch. scourge
and scratch him.
When a girl is born in Montenegro
the mother says to her: 81 do not wish
thee beauty. but courage, beroism
alone gains the love Of men," And
courage they possess in abundance.
While their husbands are away on ex-
cursions the women in the intervals of
caring for the fields and fiocks. take to
the road and do little looting on their
own account

But TIL ere Is Some Doubt to

Understood Him.

1t was at the recent De Monvel recep-
ton in Chicago, and one of the couples
standing in line didn't know enough of
French between them to put at the head
of a menu card. The young man
couldn't even say: Hang it!" in any
other tongue than his own, and the
young woman was earnestly endeavor-
ing to share the few scattered phrases
from the language of Cyrano and De
Monvel which she had painstakingly ac-
quired for the occasion. with him.
''Bon soir, NJ. Monvel," she patiently
and persistently instructed him to say;
"un affaire tres charmante," and to this
the young fellow consented, albeit with
much reluctance and not a little
grumbling.

HOMES IN MANILA.
How People Live In Uncle Sans
Newly Acquired Asiatie
Territory.

The better houses in Manila differ in
some ways from any other in the world.
Always of two stories, there is high
stone basement with a carriage way to
the court. where are the servants quar-
tiers and domestic offices. The upper
story is of wood. being complete in
itself, so that in case of an earthquake
it will settle together. The ceilings are
covered with cloth instead of plaster. A
wide stairway leads up from the car
riage way. Between three and four
feet above the floor of this story is a
wide window ledge with grooves run
ming the whole length of every side.
In these grooves slide blinds and also
frames in which are set small squares
of oyster shell (called "conchas'O. Both
blinds and conchas run the full length
of each side Either or both can be
closed at the same time. and both can
be slid back to the width of one al each
end. leaving the whole side open. and
allowing the air to circulate as freely
as in a shed. The roofs were formerly
made of heavy curved tiles Now gal
yanized iron is used. as it vastly de-
creases the chance of the roof falling
during an earthquake, and lessons the
damage if it does. On the other hand
the iron roof is much more likely to be
blown off by the terrible typhoons. The
native houses are built of ba m boo, with
matched roofs made of the leaf of the
nipa palm and elevated from six to ten
feet on mboo poles.

ONLY A QUARTERBACK.
He Looked Like Dude. Rut When
He Lifted Something
Came Loose.

The old saying that appearances are
deceptive" was very tritely exempli-
fed one night recently, says the Phila-
delphia Times. Owing to the delay
caused by the snowfall, the cars of the
Seventeenth street line that run down
Chestnut were blocked for some time
in the northern part of the city. When
the first of line Of ten appeared at the
junction, they again found progress
impeded This time it was the switch
ing rail which was frozen tight, and
the united efforts Of the motormen
could not move it. There were not
many people in the cars, but those who
were each in turn applied his strength
to the switching iron. Even a burly
negro of Brobdignangian proportions
failed ANONYMOUSLY There remained
only one of the crowd who had not
made the attempt, and he was, in the
parlance of the street, "a bloomin'
dude" He had spent his time in the
car attentively chewing the end CT his
stick and reading the advertisements
with a self-conscious air. He was like
unto the flowers, gorgeously appareled.
A long brown paddock coat surmount-
ed an unimpeacha dress suit and
a large bunch of violets dangled from
his buttonhole. He got off and gazed
dreamily at the proceedings. When
the negro failed, divesting himself of
the long coat he threw it to a motor
man. and, grabbing the iron with APP
parent ease, he forced back the rail
and held it calmly in place while the
seven cars passed over it. Then for the
first time the people noticed az un
looked-for breadth of shoulders and
depth of chest. Say, mister, amt you

years." which again goes to prove that
appearances are not only deceitful, but
Gntruthful.
