A PIN HUNT.

A quest for that elusive commodity
a pin, on a Market street car the other
afternoon, says the Philadelphia Ledg-
er, revealed some interesting statistics
The woman in the blue gown stepped
on her skirt when climbing onto the
platform and ripped off about yard
of binding. Once inside the car. she
tried to repair damages.
Have you a pin that you can spare %
she asked the woman on her right.
The woman appealed to searched dill

and she passed the query on to her
next neighbor. with like result.
The car was we'll filled, yet not so
uncomfortably crowded but that all
could see the plight OF the blue-gown-
ed woman, and everybody. irrespective
of sex, began to feel under the edges OF
waists and lapels for the temporary
implements of mending. The result OF
this voluntary taxation was nineteen
pins, seventeen of which were contrib
uted by men.
One woman who had searched her
own clothes in vain for those first aids
to the torn and tattered, turned ad-
miringly to the man who had found
two pins tucked away in his coat lin

THE HIRED BURGLAR
BY D. F. mcguire.

ITS preposterous!"
"Idiotic!"
"Assinine!"
but it's fact, nevertheless" add
ed the first speaker.
So 1t was. There had been an cpl
demie of petty burglaries in the town
of Benton during the late fall. The
articles stolen were Of trifing value,
never money, usually food taken from
barns and hen-sheds; but the constant
fear of possible midnight awakenings
put the good people of the town into
state bordering upon panic. The un-
known thief might grow more ambi-
tious and more daring. He might in
wade their very houses. Whose house
would he first select as the object of
his unwelcome attentions?
The burglar, or observation-disclosures
they were-evidently were not profess
SIGNALS: at least up to the present they
had not ventured after bigger game.
Nevertheless, the uncertainty of the
thing made the nervous more nervous

FORMS OF SALUTATI0N.
Greetings of the Modern and of the
OIden DAYS

Olden Days,
1t has often been pointed out some
what fancifully perhaps, that the
modes of greeting current in different
countries are sometimes nationally or
radically characteristic. says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. The Spaniard or
the Italian says. How do you stand ?"
which may be referred either to state
illness or laziness. The Frenchman,
careful of department, asks, How do
you carry yourself?" The Dutchman,
fond of the table, salutes you with,
May you eat a hearty dinner!" while
the Englishman, the man of action,
says, How do you do?" More mark
eddy characteristic are some of the
equivalent phrases used among nom
European peoples. The peasant of
Southern China, for instance, asks ten
derby, Have you eaten your rice ?"
and at Cairo they inquire sympathetic
cally, How do you sweat?'
Our English, How do you dor" Is
a direct translation of the medieval
French form of greeting. Comment
lie faites-ves?" and seems to have
come into common use toward the end
of the seventeenth century. Curiously
enough, its general acceptance appears
to have conceded With the dying out
of the old mode of greeting ladies,
which was emphatically known as sa-
| luting, and which seems to modern
ideas so extraordinary familiar and in
timate-that is, by kissing. English
men are sometimes inclined to regard
with rather a superior air the more
effusive methods of salutation, es-
pecially between men, common on the
continent; but for centuries England
was the land of kisses. When a man
greeted a woman, whether 1t was for
the first or the hundredth time, he
kissed her. Chauser alludes to the GUS
tom as existing in his day. In the
'Sompnour's Tale" the Frere, when
room where he and her husband are
sitting together
Ariseth up full curtisly,
And hire embraceth in his arms narwe,
And kisseth hire swete, and chirketh
as a sparwe
With his lippes.
Two hundred years later Erasmus,
in one of his graphic letters from
England, wrote very appreciatively of
the custom, says the London Globe.
IF you go to any place" he tells his
correspondent with reference to Eng
fish ladies, you are received with a
kiss by all; If you depart on Jour-
ney you are dismissed with a kiss;
you return, kisses are exchanged. They
come to visit you, a kiss the first
thing; they leave you, you kiss them
all around. Do they meet you any
where. kisses in abundance" II was
no wonder that Erasmus told his
friend that If he had once had. exDe-
rience of the custom-"on my honor
you would wish not to reside here for
ten years only, but for life"
Our modern How do you do?" is
found too long by many hurried speak
ers, and gets abbreviated into How
do do?' and the like absurdities. Other
variants are such phrases as How are
your" and How goes it?" The latter
is a liberal equivalent of the German
form of How do you do?" and also
of the common French salutation,
Comment ca vatii." In some rural
parts of England, How goes It ?" is
shortened into How goa % Another

Almost out of breath, Mr.. North

When the Martha Washington Hotel
is opened on East Twenty ninth street,
New York, some time during the next
month, says the Chicago Chronicle, it
will prove a veritable Eden, lacking
the presence of an Adam, for no man
is to be permitted within it's walls.
Twelve stories in hight and extend
ing from Twenty-ninth street back to
Thirtieth street, this huge woman's no.
tel is almost completed, with more APP
plications for guests than two Of N.ts
size could well entertain.
The structure cost $350,000, is fire.
proof throughout and is built with In
diana limestone and terra Gotta on
lines intended to give it colonial sug-
gestion.
The boarders are to be their own mis-
tresses and will be made to feel that
they are in a first-class hotel-a Wal
dorf-Astoria, minus the. decorations.
There are tearooms, Turkish baths and
hairdressing rooms and all the conven-
fences of home.
Board can be had from 81 up, but
none but self-supporting young women
will be allowed to take up residents
therein. It is stated that there are at
lease 10000 wage-earning women in
New York--artists, teachers, stenogra-
pliers and the like-able to pay for
such accommodations as this hotel viii
furnish, but only 500 will be fortunate
enough 10 be guests until other similar
enterprising plans are put into effect.
The project was begun some years
ago on the same line as d. o. Minis
had planned for the men. Women OF
wealth and social position subscribed
81 900 each, and when Ss00.00 was IN
the treasury the Woman's Hotel Com
pany was incorporated.
