Character Not Good.

In some rural districts of England there are held annually hiring fairs. where farmers and others attend to en- gage servants. At one held in Glouces- tershire last autumn a farmer opened negotiations with lad who seemed suitable for his purpose. Various ques- tions having been asked and answered, the farmer inquired at last:
 Hast got a character from thy last place?"
 "No," replied the boy. but my old gaffer be about somewhere, and l can get he to write one"
 "Very we'll" was the reply; thee get it and meet I here again at four o'clock"

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
All of the Steamers and Railways in Russia Are Using Astatki
 OH for Fuel.

In appearance astatki, a product of the oil wells of Bal1u, is dark, viscuous fluid, not more infiammable than vege- table oil and less so than coal As steam producer it has no rival and the demand for this purpose is constantly on the increase. Nothing else is burned on railways in central Asia, the Cau- casus and southern Russia, on the Black sea, Caspian and river steamers, ana in the innumerable industrial works which are springing into exist ence on the Azov lttoral.
 On the railways which employ this substitute for coal locomotive tenders are not piled high with black diamonds, but carry a sheet-iron astatki tank. which is filled by pumping or the force of gravity. Numerous are the systems of feeding furnaces with astatki; and, indeed, every engineer has his own pet apparatus. The principle of all is that of the Roots blower. A current of steam, or preferably air, carrying with 1t the fuel in minute subdivisions, is .orced at high pressure through a oozzle, called a "pulverizer," into the -,Sbular interior of the boiler to be heated.
 The result is an intensely white, roar ing flame, and in pulverizers of the latest type the value of astatki as com pared with coal on steam raiser is as fs to 1. The former sells at Baku at s2.50 per ton, and when the pipe line connecting that place with Batoum is complete astatki will be delivered at the steamers side at something like four dollars. At the latter price coal will clearly be unable to compete with its youthful rival. Nor do the advan- tages of astatki end with its cheapness Engines burning it require no army of stokers, for all that is necessary in the largest is man to regulate the supply by taps. There is no smoke, litter or dust. Many a passenger by ocean steamer will bless the day when as- eath shall supplant coal, and the stok- srs who are roasted alive in tropical waters will have still greater reason to be thankful for the revolution.-Iall Mall Magazine.

NICELY TAKEN IN.
He Knew the Ways of the World But Got Caught
 Mapping.

The man in question used to say he knew she way of the world as a cat knows it's own kittens. and laugh at the wiles of those who live on tt-ir wits.
 He had bee,. economizing at every turn tor a long time, saving all that he could, tor the holidays were near at hand. He left his station the other night in the teeth of blizzard. The buses had stopped run ming, and he buttoned his coat collar about his neck with a determination to walk home rather than squander the price of a cao.
 "Beastly night" said a tall, imposing man, as he tapped our friend on the shoul- der. Get into my carriage there I'll be with you Tn a minute," and he dashed into the station after his bag. It was too good an offer to be refused, and the travelling man put Tn most of his time in thanking his benefactor, who. politely insisted that the pleasure was all his. Just tell him where to drive to" he said, later; "! get out here. No, don't mention it.. Glad of the opportunity"
 Now, 1t was horrible night, and he was using another mans carriage, so he could not do less than to treat the driver and give him cigar to keep his nose warm. At last the economical traveller was at home, and he shouted .cheery good night" as he slammed the door of the vehicle and started for the house.
 "Here,", cried, the driver, "you've forgot ten something"
 Thanks. What is it% as he hurried back
 Mine shillings"
 "Whaty" as the narrowing conviction seized him. "Why, the other man."
 'That other man be blowed don't know him from a crow. You took the cab"

THE CHINESE EAR-CLEANER
He In One of the Strange PrOfessiOn aIs to He Met with in
 Manila Streets.

In this city of strange and unusual sights there is probably nothing that appears so strange at first sight to the American as the Chinese ear cleaner pursuing his calling on the street cor ners. The China.nan so engaged is pro. vided with a stool and small bamboo case, in which are inclosed his instru- ments.
 The Filipino is just as sure of having his ears cleaned on Sunday as an Amer lean is of having a shave, and in the bye streets and alleyways they line up for all the world like barber shop on Sunday morning, the only difference being the Chinaman can't say "next!"
 First of all the Chino takes razor which looks more like propeller blade than anything else, and, wiping the vic tim's face with wet rag, proceeds to mop the dirt therefrom. While watch ing this part of the proceedings l was Surprised at the flexibility of the native nose as demonstrated by the skillful 6agers of the operator. To windward, to leeward, on it's stern, beam and bow the natives nose is rapidly twisted to avoid the aforesaid razor. Having re- moved the real estate from the natives face, the Chinaman turns to the more difficult task of ear cleaning. The smallest spot of dirt and the tiniest feshworm is removed before the op- eration is complete, and from the Heavenly expression" one would imag- inc that the operation was anything bst Manila Freedom.

Rewards of victors.

By curious coincidence the grant of money given to Lord Kitchener by par lament has been made a standard of comparison in two foreign countries, Dy which the treatment meted out to their own respective heroes of the mo- ment may be judged. In both instances The vehicle of this interesting compari- son is the art of the cartoonist, and in both cases the occasion is seized to il- lustrate what the artist takes to be na- tional characteristics. In Paris, the eonqueror of the SouSan is represented as the type of English money-grabb bbing ,ulgarity, in contrast to the pure and distinguished love of la gloire and la patrie which distinguishes the French. man. Lord Kitchener appears in the caricature of the Petit Illustre hugging a coronet and bag containing Z 30,000 while the gallant Marchand is content to hold aloft the tricolor flag. In Amer ica, on the other hand, the meager re- sponse to the call for national sub- scriptions for testimonial to Admiral Dewey moves the New York Herald to print cartoon in which Uncle Sam is keeping his hands tightly in his pock- ets-a figure of Dewey is beside him wearing a huge medal-and John Bull hands $150,000 to the hero of Omdur- stands near with genial smile as he man.
