THE CHINAMAN'S PROFANITY

An Fona, Chinese cook, in the en- ploy of a family in California was a great admirer of the youngest son, daring and n1ischievous boy of six teen. Ah Fom himself, to quote the description of Dr Faustus in the old legend. had a naughty mind and was otherwise addicted" especially to profanity. He evidently regarded Fred as a profitable model to study. although the lads worst vice was slang, which he used at times with dramatic intensity. His favorite in- cretely added it to his own vocabu- lary.
 An Fom's profanity was fearful to listen to, howbeit unintelligble to English ears. He usually worked himself up to the climax, and then resumed the task with the smiling equaninity of mien peculiar to Ce- 1estials. One day company was ex- pected. and An Fom was endeavoring to outshine himself He had mixed the particular cake whichrn was the pride of his heart and put it in the oven. Then, in the hurry of his other work, he forgot it. When the nis- tress came and asked to see it he flew to the oven and found it burned to charcoal.
 The rage of Ah Fom was dreadful to behold. He whirled round like 8 top, with his pigtail flying, uttering words so diabolical in their infection that the mistress fled in terror; and then, impelled by curiosity she paused by the door. An Fom whirled and swore and swore and whirled, until 1t seemed to the single spectator as if he must drop exhausted. And then, with the air of having reached the very dufntessence of profanity he brought down his foot once, twice. thrice, and cried: IN. Gs!e N. G.! N. G.!' When the mistress recovered from her emotion he was placidly mixing the batter for another cake.-. Youths Companion.

GIRL MESSENGER BOYS
Their Employment in Kansas City |
 Pronounced a Success.

Their Employment in Kansas City
 Pronounced a Success.
 "T am well pleased with my experi- ment Of employing girls to carry mes sages," said MT Murphy, who has charge of employing messengers for the Western Union, yesterday after. noon. "The plan is working well ana will be 8 success. Since the plan was started I have had 32 girls employed and only, three have given up their places. These three girls had fathers who were union men and they quit because they were required to work more than eight hours. The girls all like their work and we find that the messenger service has been improved upon. The improvement consists III the willingness of the girls to work. There is only one woman on the force, and she is a widow. aged 23 years. She does the work of two boys, ana is much more satisfactory. The boys used to get lazy and insolent, but it IS not so with the girls. When they car ry messages they are prompt ana do not 1oiter on the way.
 "At first the customers were 10th to accept the girls, but they are now fla voring them. Girls are employed at the sl1b-stations only. There are six at the board of trade. and they have done so well that business men have tried to take three of them away from us It is my purpose to protect the girls. and they are not sent to any place of questionable character.
 "An incident happened at the board of trade the other day that is signif- cant of the way in which the girls are treated. One Of the messengers had gone to the wrong floor and was look ing for a number, when she asked one of the men on the trade to tell the way. I'll take it for you The girl gave him the message and it was not long until the man returned and gavh her the slip that was to be receipte' by the person who received the mes sage"
 1t is interesting to watch the mes sengers at the central office. They Sit in a row and wait to be sent out with messages. Among them yesterday was a man 62 years old, a registered drug gist. a locomotive fireman and union rnachinist The druggist says that the work is just what he needs and that he wants to stay at it all winter. as the outside work has been beneficial to his health. He says that he has gained three pounds since going to work as a messenger a few days ago.-kansas City Journal

the battery. The tramway with its tracks answered the question by taking the necessary power from an overhead wire connected with the central sta- tion. But the method which is entire Iy simple in the case of the tramway, whose path is fixed and invariable, is less SC in the case of the automobile, which must be unconhned and free i'll its movements to avoid the obstacles of the road. It was first proposed to make use of little carriages, rolling on the trolley wire, connected to the ye- hicle by light flexible cables and lowed by these. This solution was not prac- tieable: The little trolley carriage, dragged along by an outside force which was continually varying it's di- rection, became damned, derailed, breaking it's connecting cable or dana- aging the trolley wire. This difficulty has been met in two ways-by using rigid troIeys, and by making the trol- ley carriage automobile. Under these conditions the system has been prac- tically developed, and possesses, be- sides the general advantages of electric traction, that of being applicable in cases where a track could not be laid where the curves would be very heavy and sharp, or where the authorities ob- Ject to the laying of rails on account of the damage to the roadway.

People who reach New York through the celebrated tunnel that has been written about so much have no idea, probably, of the complications and dif- ficulties experienced by trainmen and others to land them safely. Writing about the numerous trains that enter the great metropolis, a writer in Ev- erybody's Magazine has the following to say: Standing on any one of the bridges that cross the New York Gen. tral yard, it is difficult to realize that each apparently wandering drill engine each car standing empty and idle, has some good reason for being there; that it's location is known to the tower di- rector as we'll as he knows where his ears are, and that he also knows just where those drill and passenger en- zines will be fifteen minutes later and why. At his desk in the north end of the tower, the train dispatcher first receives word of an incoming train. When it arrives at Ninety sixth street, he receives another message to that ef- feet, and when the train gets to Sev- enty-second street a buzZer rings in the tower, at which the tower director proceeds forthwith to clear the way with a whirlwind of orders. Tn the Mott Haven message to the train dis patcher he is advised as to the class of train approaching, the time. and the number of cars. This information is passed on to the director and he pre- pares himself accordingly. But the fact that perhaps a dozen trains have passed Mott Haven before the first train has reached Seventy-second street bears eloquent testimony to his memory.

HOSPITALITY DYING?

Among all the naakeshift uses of our traditional home there is none more paradoxical than it's enforced service
 as social medium. Here is a place in it's basic idea private; place orig inally intended for the safety and peace, the shelter and comfort of the family which makes it; and yet it is 1 now used as "a place of entertain
 ment." So generally accepted is this contradictory requirement. that houses are built. furnished, and decorated
 with regard to "entertaining;;' the expenses of family life are most cruel ly increased by those of entertain ing;' marriage is made later and more | difficult because of this demand for entertaining and the question ea- gerly asked about the incoming resi-
 dents in any polite section is, "Will they entertain?" Just in proportion
 to the fitness of house for general entertainment is it's unfitness for a !, home. Just in proportion to the i amount of time, labor and money de- voted to entertainment is the real i home life robbed of those important supplies.
 Home comfort gives way before it.
 unity is destroyed, and, in it's highest development in the palatial houses of the nobility abroad and nai1lionarity here, there remains little that com l mon American citizen would recognize as home" What is the reason for this unnatural grawth? Let us study closely into it's causes. and also study 1 it's results, looking to see if this kind of social medium really brings about | +kna& a&a1 1L 70 a,5 h&xSrJ which makes our gathering together l so imperative law of human nature. l We will see, first, how the home ever 1 became social medium, and then if 1 it is success as social medium. Back of all this accumulation of ! undesirable custom lies deep, sweet source-the good old-fashioned virtue Of hospitality. The honest welcome
 of a friend, or the offering of shelter, 1 food and rest to the stranger, is the l underlying cause of what is now the locust-norde of devouring guests at ! ball, banquet and reception-gues who consume kings ranson-with- out being in the least hungry. Hospi- talitY is a virtue-and virtues, are al-
 ways relative. We hear of making a virtue of necessity" Of course. ] That is what all virtues are made of. Would you make them of superh1i- l ties, non-essentials or things imna- l terial?
 All virtues are necessities in the
 times and places that breed them; and
 when they cease to be necessities, they cease to be virtues.
 Hospitality is a virtue when it is necessity; and you always find it then. It is a virtue dependent on the conditions, and those conditions are a primitive population and the danger
 and difficulty of travelling. Where do you find the apotheosis of hospitality ?
 Among the Bedouin Arabs and the Highlanders. Tn the painless desert-- in the painless mountairs--where
 only far-scattered tents or huts are to
 be found; where continued exposure
 means danger, and to be lost means death--there you find hospitality Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Success

The raise in the price of diamonds has set the experts who handle these precious gems all agog. It gives them a foresight of what is coming when the present mines refuse to give up any more gems A writer says that the Kimberley and De Beers mines were worked first from the surface and proved the most valuable of the four, huge open holes being sunk to a depth of several hundred feet. The rock outside of the mines is known as the reef" and is not diamond-bearing. The reef caused not little trouble to the surface miners by its continually caving in and covering their individ- ual claims. At one time, within the small area comprising the claims being worked open from the surface, there were 3,143 individual claims. Each of these was. as previously stated, thirty one feet square, one digger being al- lowed to own and control but two claims. Tn the early mining the dia- mond bearing ground was carried on wire ropes in rawhide buckets to the surface level. The yellow ground was at first sorted dry by screening the coarse ground out of it. Later it was washed in pans, and later, when 'Eblue ground was struck, it was spread out exposed to the weather until it had sufficiently crumnled, this work later being done by mechanical washing ma chimes. In November, 1883, 25O, 1000 cubic yards of reef fell into the Kim berley mine, covering the tops of the claims half across the mine. Tn 1884 the first real underground mining was begun, shaft being started in the reef.

When the automobile came upon the scene, it was thought that there would be found the proper solution for lines Of light traffic. Unhappily, the steam boiler, the steam engine and the oil motor accommodate themselves but i'll to the difficulties inherent to road traf- fic with vehicles of large capacity. On the other hand, the electric motor is the motor for automobiiisna, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. But this motor demands source of energy: if this energy is supplied by accumulators, the weight is immensely increased, and to the maintenance

HIS OLD "MIssUs."
Held in High Esteem by the White
 House Doorkeeper.

House Doorkeeper.
 Arthur Simmons, the historical col pred doork eeper at the White House, never forgets to say how much he owes to the rearing given him by the white lady who owned him and saw him to young manhood. If she was living to-day and needed nouthful of bread or some money she would have every cent I've got,'' is the way Simmons speaks Of my old missus, and his eyes sometimes fill with tears.
 "She didn't let me play with the bad negro boys and the bad white boys of Wilmington he said, s'but I played with the best white boys of that town. Not long ago I ran across one of my old white playmates. He Is now a big man in his state, but he didn't hesitate to put his arms around be and treat me just like was a long-lost rela- tive
 .9 When the circus was in town the other day it brought to my mind that circus came to Wilmington every year when I was little slave boy in that town. but saw it every time it came. My old rnissus always gave me a quarter and told me to go and see the circus Sha used to send me to nearly everything that took vplace
 T remember that there was a hang ing in Wilmington one time, white man and negro being hung at the same time My old missus told me to 20 and see the execution, which took place in public witnessed the hang ing and then stayed on the streets with the boys until dark playing marbles, I had never been so forgetful before, and when I got home and was asked what I had been doing had to con fess
 My nissus upbraided me for 1oiter- ing on the streets, but she didn't whip me. She never gave me stripe in my life, and when she died her rela- tives never whipped me, either. But she punished me for that loitering that day in a way that I remembered for years The murderers were buried after the execution in what was known as 'hangman's hollow
 My old missus told me that as pun ishment for my offense I must go to the newly made graves of the murder CTS and bring her back a handful of earth from the graves. How my eyes did open and my hair stand on end. It was then dark, and didn't believe there was a person alive who could do that and live.
 'I thought that my old missus knew everything. and when the idea ca me into my mind of going around the cor ner a square or two and getting some earth there. I gave it up as a certain thing that she would know the differ ence and send me back for the real dirt much later in the night.
 ''How ever went to the grave and got back I don't know. but did. and my old missus rubbed some of the dirt in my face. That was the worst punishment she ever gave me and did not let it pass out of my mind for many years. When I behaved badly after that she threatened to send me to that same spot for more dirt. "But. as I say, she never struck me a blow in my life or allowed anyone else to do so Sometimes she would pull one of my ears to bring me to a remembrance of something she told me. God bless her. I wish she was l living to.day."-W Washington Star. r |
