same word as n term Of endearment.
It's odd how the choicest phrases in the
vocabulary oe affection Of one people
are used for quite an opposite purpose
by another nation. One Of the most IA
miliar and most coveted phrases Of en-
dearment among the French, for in
stance, is my little pig, and my little
puppy dog is also we'll liked.
But if the Frenchman were to call
Nine. Narcisse duck as an American
husband might lovingly call his better
half, she would be very much offended.
One Of the oldest pet names that ev-
er heard Of was that used by famous
German general, who always called his
wife my little kernel of coffee They
were divorced at last, however, and a
cynic said that the generals pet name
should have been my dear little stack

CAPTIVATING SIMPLICITY.
The Way John Burroughs Secured q
Treasury Clcrkship.


Treasury Clcrkship.
Early in the sixties of the last CEN
fury, when Hugh Mh,ulloch had just
been appointed comptroller of the cur
rency to organize the new department
under the provisions OF the national
bank act. there walked into his Office,
unannounced. one day stranger
dressed in store clothes and wearing
long hair.
MY name is Burroughs-John Bur
roughs," said the visitor. Il should like
to have a position in your department.
-"What do you know about banEing:
asked the comptroller, thinking that
perhaps in the unique stranger might
be discovered some genius Of an ac-
tuary or accountant
"Unhappily nothing replied the ap'
plicant.
"WhO sent you here:
"NO one"
"Wcll, who's your congressman! 10
whom can you refer me?'
Il KNOW no COnSItSSIudu.
"And you expected to get a govern
ment position without qualification for
the position and without Endorsement
or backing of any character?
81 think l could learn office work
here, and the salary would be great
help to me in my literary career
ooh, you are writer, are YOU:
What's your line? Poetry, perhaps:'
Il try to write poetry" confessed the
visitor.
Got any of it with YOU" asked the
comptroller, now considerably amused
IF so, let's see it,
The poet-naturalist produced song
redolent of early spring. 1t treated OF
the chewink, the oven bird and the
Carolina wren. with dainty reference
to forest violets and hcpatica.
"This is great" commented the comp
troller: Its right out Of the woods
(Which is more than can be said OF
the author" observed Mr.. Burroughs,
thinking of the world Of finance which
he was seeking 10 lnNaue.
The comptroller laughed. "And is
this all you have in the way OF Gre
dentials?'
81 have some more poems at home"
was the bland and sincere reply.
In much merriment the comptroller
summoned an assistant. Here's the
most astonishing instance of ingenu-
BUSINESS l have ever encountered in
public life" said he. That man over
there applies for government position
and the only hackers that he can name
are the muses.. Yet this department is
not political, and somehow I'm inclined
to put the fellow to work. l am cap
tivated by the mans honest SIM
plicity."
So John Burroughs was set to work
as a treasury clerk. No appointment
ever before had been secured on such
a basis and no one since has had the
temerity in asking for government
Job to cite song birds and wild flowers
as his only references.
Some of Mr.. Burroughs old col
leagues are still in the treasury service
In telling this story Of his appointment
they dwell with emphasis upon the eX'
cellont work he did in the department

X Regular Nuisance.

There was loud talking and inappro- priate applause in the rear of the theatre last night which greatly interferred with the pleasure of the large number of per son who paid their money to see and hear tue play.
 In fact, it quite frequently happens that an element of out population congregate m the rear of the audience under the gal lery, and disgust the whole audience by their silly talk and guffaw. The proprietors should not permit such thing for one moment.
 It gives the house bad reputation and It is detrimental to the box office receipts.
 An officer should be always on hand, who should promptly eject any person who does not know how to behave himself, or Will not.
 Some of these persons are silly enough to think it is smart to talk out loud while the star is in the most pathetic part of her lines, or laugh when the lines are partcu- idtly Sru. OlIeIS uO II tO hltTdCt attention and make themselves conspicuous. They want every body to know that they are there, and to see how handsome they think themselves.
 The fact of the business is, that it is a sign that they have been sadly neglected in their bringing up. It is the very quint' essence of ill manners and lack of culture It not only attracts the attention, but brings down upon them the contempt of ell mannerly and cultured persons.
 Some persons are guilty through igno. rance, others because they do not think what they are doing. To this class VIC will say, don't do so any more. Person: who go to the theater want to see anC hear and ..enjoy it. They do not want tu hear you talk, and they don't care any thing about your appearance. The officers should throw the other class down stairs.

The New Preacher.

 Nalurally We supposed when we learned that he was quite young man, that his first appearance would De quite embarrassing to himself, and that probably his efforts would be in tne nature of introductory remarks ana With his knowledge that he would prooably be criticised, and that opiu. ions would be formed of him, which would be either very valuable 10 him or very detrimental to his future work, that we should not be greatly inter- ested.
 We are glad to state that in all these things we were mistaken.
