business man WANT" replied shrewd
practical business man of many con-
Germs the other day: well, will tell
you. In the first place he wants boy
who doesn't know too much. Business
men generally like to run their own
business, and prefer some one who will
listen to their way rather than teach
them new kinds. Second, they want
prompt boy, one who understands that
7 o'clock is exactly I, not ten minutes
past. Third, an industrious boy, who
is not afraid to put in little extra
work in case of need. Fourth, an hon
est boy, honest in services as well as in
matters OF dollars and cents. And
fifth. a good mat ured boy, who will keep
his temper even If his employer loses

When the New York Tribune, Hor-
ace Greeley's paper, was founded in
1871 there was no Geographic commu-
nication with any part of the world.
Only one line of railway was in oper-
alton between New York and Washing
ton and that was owned by three COM
panies. The journey that now takes
six hours, then took fifteen. Stage
coaches carried mail and passengers.
News from the old world was twenty
days old when it reached here. No
one needs to be reminded of the enor-
nous changes effected in the single
matter of news gathering through
these nearly three score years, by
means of telegraph, cable, railway,
ocean steamship and telephone, and
delivery by automobile.

HON. JOHN VI. ALLEN.

Referring to statement contained
in Washington special, that Congress-
man j. NJ Allen will enter the lecture
field upon the completion of his term
in congress, the Memphis Scimitar pre-
diets brilliant success for the Mis-
Slssippi congressman, and adds He
is not merely fellow of infinite Jest,
but a philosopher as well. His anus
ing stories are like Lincoln's they
have always a point which cannot be
mistaken, and he has mixed with all
sorts and conditions of men in the
course of his public life, so that he
knows how to adapt his speech to the
taste and capacity of his audience.
eff John Allen had not let his sense
OF humor get away with him early in
his career he would be today one of
the most influential men in congress.
His perceptions are keen, and his
judgment sound, and he has not made
the mistake of speaking too often,
which evidences freedom from the
egotism that afilicts the inferior man
in prominent position.

And thou shalt hear our song

Thy wealth We love.
We love thy "roeks" and tills,
We take thy coin and bills.
And then to cure thy ills

Slave to enrich our spoil.

Protect us by their might,

The size of the waist.

1t will be a relief to some girls With
athletic proclivities to know the ex-
treme limit which they may attain in
waist size without being considered
"out of fashion," For there is a
''fashion in waists" as in everything
else.
Years ago, before girls were allowed
to engage in opeu-air recreations, a
tiny, slim waist was considered correct
and children at an early age began
to wear corsets which were laced
tightly.
A girl OF seventeen or eighteen
would endure agonies in order to re-
duce her waist. 1t is now considered
very bourgeois to lace tightly, and
the waist of fulI-grown girl should
not be smaller than twenty four
inches. The proper measurement
for the chest Of a girl whose waist is
of that size is thirty-eight inches.
Thus it will be seen that the modern
beauty must be solid and nearly ap-
proach the proportions of the heroic
age.
The present age is an athletic one,
aud as long as girls continue healthful
xercises--lawn tennis, rowing, rid
ing, bicycling, fencing aud vaulting-
bright eyes, good complexion and
firm, well-knit and muscular figures
will be found,

fon capes to match are among the lat.
est novelties. They are shown ia
different shades of color, of tulle.
chiffon, and even fancy straw, and
are all on the picturesque order, and
suitable only for midsummer. Many
Of the hats are without trimming of
flowers or feathers, while others
again are heavily trimmed with arti.
fetal fruit-a late and very popular
fashion. A pale green hat of this sort
is in the toque shape trimmed with
punches Of purple aud green grapes,
and the cape designed to be worn
with it is an absurd affair in green
chiffon tied with purple ribbons.
These fashions are decidedly con-
spicuous, and bound to be short
lived, but as they are among the novel
ties of the season call for comment.
In contrast to them are the hats made
OF light fancy straw and chiffon COM
bined, and three or four small buds.
While on the subject OF hats there
must be included the poke bonnet of
small size in fine straw that has white
ribbon around the crown, and white
ribbon strings. The brim inside is
faced with chiffon caught down with
one small bunch of flowers. --Harper's

The tendency OF tue present day to
make ocean steamships larger and
larger is emphasized by the plans OF
the new vessel which is to be built for
the North German Lloyd line. This
ship when completed will be forty.
eight feet longer than the Oceanic,
which measures 704 feet. The Deutsch.
land, the big ship of the Hamburg
American line, measures 6S5 feet.
The new steamer will also be the
fastest ship adoat, beating the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, whose average
daily record is a fraction over twenty.
two knots. The new ship will also
have 5000 mora horse power than the
Deutschland. 1t would seem that the
size Of ocean steamships must soon
reach its limit otherwise we shall
have to enlarge our harbors.

Never Admit Defeat.

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down and
have not a cent. Stoutly assert your
divine right to be a man, to hold your
head up and look the world In the
face; step bravely to the front, what.
ever opposes, and the world will make
way for you. No one will insist on
your rights, while you yourself doubt
that you possess the qualities requis-
ite for success. Never allow yourself
to be a traitor to your own cause by
undermining your self-confdence.
There never was a time before
when persistent, original force was so
much in demand as now The nam
by-pamby, nerveless man has little
show in the hustling world to-day. In
the twentieth century a man must
either push or be push ed.
Every one admires the man who can
assert his rights, and has the power
to demand and take them if denied
him. No one can respect the man
who sinks in the rear and apologies
for being in the world. Negative
virtues are of no use in winning ones
way. It is the positive man, the man
with original energy and push that
forges to the front. Success.
