A Brotherly Greeting.

southern neighbors. During the siege
Of Ladysmith a certain young English
man, the heir to a dukedom, was
among the victorious soldiers who en-
tered the city. His brother had been
confined there and as soon as possible
the young men got together. An OBJ
server says they shook hands heartily,
looked into one another's eyes, then
turned their heads aside and resolute-
~ gulped something. Il say"
began the future duke with a mighty
effort, "old Tom, the gardener, is
dead" ooh, sayv' replied the other.
Then they walked away together.
Each knew that the other was glad to
see him, but, being Briton, was too
manly to be more ELUSIVE.

shah's Tooth Pulled by PROXY.

A story is being told in Paris of the
shah which savors more of previous
monarch than of the present occupant
of the Persian throne When he went
over to France the shah suffered from
toothache, and so a dentist was sum-
moned to remove the offending tooth.
But like less exalted mortals, the shah,
when he found himself face to face
with the dentist, discovered that his
toothache had disappeared, and so abb
solutely refused to be operated on.
However, his majesty declared that he
did not wish the dentist to lose his
time, and so commanded that q tooth
should be extracted from each Of his
suite. He said this with his eyes on
the ground. and then, suddenly looking
up, found, to his intense amusement,
that all his ministers and staff had
quietly slipped away except the grand
vizier, whom he complimented upon be-
ing the only one faithful enough to
undergo a little discomfort for his SOW
ereign's sake, and then dismissed the

Heretofore, when Englishmen have
undertaken to explain why we Ameri-
cans compete against them in the mar
kets of the world, they have attributed
our success TO the skill of our work
men and the superiority Of our ma
chine tools. In a recent interview Sir
Charles Beresford has INDUCED in q
different explanation, he attributing
our success to our business methods.
He said: America excels in admins
tration. We do not know how to adj
minister here. Our workmen are as
good as theirs, but our administrations
are feeble. Our companies want lords
nothing about business. Yours demand
straight business men, who not only
know, but put their money into the
concerns of which they are directors.
You put your brightest men into bust
ness. We put them into politics, the
navy and the army. That has got to
be changed, not for the sake Of money
it makes for the individual, but for the
general good Of the country. When 1
return 1 hope to have lot more infor-
nation in my pocket which will further
these ends in Parliament and else
where" What Lord Beresford says
about lack of administration in Eng
land may be so, but what he says about
English workmen being as skillful as
American workmen cannot be SO, else
there would not be delegation Of fifty
or more at present in this country, to
learn how American workmen handle
machine tools so well and productivity.
But this is not to the point. What
Lord Beresford says about American
business administration Is true. The
head Of every successful American en-
terprise knows the business which he
directs, and, knowing it, is prepared to
meet the demands of the market,
whether he sells his goods at home or
in the most distant country. His as
sistants are trained In the business,
too, the most Of them having been
taken from the ranks Of labor and ele-
waited to positions Of greater RESPONSE
bility. If his sons or other relatives
occupy responsible positions, they have
had to earn them by an apprenticeship
in the business. Under such admins
tration the minutest details Of business
are constantly under the supervision Of
trained men, wherein American admin
istration most excels. Lord Beresford
should remember, too, that it makes a
big difference whether business men
feel that the world has got to buy what
they have to sell, or they have to pro-
duce what the market demands. There's
a difference betwixt tweedledum and
tweedledee.

as soon as they are needed.
At present the smallest Broadway
structure stands about nine feet above
the sidewalk level-on the top Of a
board fence. Until recently, however,
it stood some distance back from the
street, at the same corner, and appro-
priately surrounded with a well-kept
garden. A narrow walk about four
inches wide, neatly bordered with
grass, extended from the front gate
TO the steps leading to the porch. Two
small flower gardens fanked the walk
Immediately in front Of the porch. 1t
was probably the last house garden to
disappear from Broadway.
The little mansion has no tenants.
The windows are even carefully closed
with tiny window sashes to prevent
the birds from taking possession. The
house has been built at considerable
expense by a carpenter in the neigh
borhood, and is intended to illustrate
how neatly he can build a house and,
what is as important, how neatly he
can keep it in repair. There are few
buildings on Broadway more carefully

reduced to a minimum. Now a new
invention has been made which will
enable them to march with still great
er ease. This invention Is a shoe
which, instead Of the customary hard
and stiff sole, has sole to which
springs are fitted. Under the heel is
an ordinary spring and under the ball
of the foot is one which is shaped like
a hoof. When the foot is at rest the
spring In the back Is pressed down and
the one in front is slightly raised. Sim

age which this shoe possesses is that,
when shoe is worn out new one
can very quickly be substituted for it.

AN ECLIPSE IN CHINA.
There Was Some Mistpke in the Cal
cuIationi of the Astronomers.

There Was Some Mistpke in the Cal
cuIationi of the Astronomers.
In China an eclipse of the sun or of
the moon is regarded as an evil augury
for the emperor, intended to warn him
to examine himself and correct his
faults Hence an eclipse Is always
looked on as an affair Of state, and the
greatest care Is taken to calculate the
time when it will happen. NJ. Edmund
Plauchut in his book, China and the
Chinese" describes a scene he wit
messed when the moon played the as
tronomers Of Pekin mean trick.
The imperial astronomers had an
nounced that on February 7th, at eight
o'clock in the evening, the dragon
which wanders to and fro in the re-
gions of the air would endeavor. to
swallow the moon.
The eclipse was to be total, so the
astronomers had warned the people
that the attack Of the monster would
be terrible, and that the moon would
very likely succumb If the shouts and
noise of the gongs did not put the drag
on to fight.
Long before the appointed time mil
lions Of Chinese issued from the towns
to the open country, there, nose in air,
to watch the wonderful phenomenon.
Those who had been unable to get
gongs had provided themselves with
saucepans, rattles, pieces Of bamboo
stems land immense quantities Of little
red flrecrackers.
But what a disappointment! At
eight o'clock the gazing multitudes saw
the moon rise, a full unspotted disk,
without sign Of anything unusual. At
nine she was still shining pure. Just
as all hope was disappearing, ire
mendous noise began on every side,
for the watchers saw a black spot adj
vancing slowly across the face Of the
moon.
1t is impossible to describe the rage
with which the Chinese beat their pans
and gongs, whirled their rattles, and
let off the crackers. The dragon was
evidently frightened away by the row,
for after looking up at the full moon
for an hour and seeing nothing more
Of the black spot, the crowds, jubilant
over their victory, began to dispense.
1t was learned later that the empe-
ror sent word to the astronomers that
the next time they made such mis-
calculation he would relieve them of
their appointments and send them into
exile.

Caught i'm the Act.

A woman suspected that her husband
was in the habit of kissing the servant
girl, and resolved to detect him in the
act. On Saturday night she saw him
pass quietly into the kitchen. The ser
want girl was out, and the kitchen was
dark The jealous wife took few
matches in her hand, and hastily plac-
ing a shawl over her head, as the girl
often did, entered the back door, and
Immediately she was seized and kissed
and embraced in an ardent manner.
With heart almost bursting the wife
prepared to administer terrible re-
buke to the faithless spouse, and, tear
ing herself away from his fond en-
brace, she struck match and stood
face to face with-the gardener!
