Grotesque English.

No doubt purchasers in other lands
have reason to smile at English at
tempts to worthily describe English
wares in a foreign tongue. It is to be
hoped, however, that our business
houses do not send forth announce
ments quite so grotesque as some that
come to this country. Here is form
issued by a very considerable CONT
mental firm: "Does your dressing case
need, by chance, a superfne antisepic
soap, an energetic perfumed lotion, a
delicious cream, an impalpable velou-
tine, a very delicate and lasting ex-
tract and unmatchlessly efficient denti-
frice? Or do you wish to buy those ar
ticles to make a present, the most de-
sirable one, to a very dear person on its
saints or birth day ?'-London Express.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
1He Men and Women Who Carry
Chips on Their Shoulders

d'ne Men and Women Who Carry
Chips on Their Shoulders.
The really unhappy man whose III.
happiness is his own fault is the one
who is forever carrying "a chip upon
ills shoulder" PAhaps his happiness
is his unhappiness, for when he is not
engaged in a personal alteration he is
5rOoding over some fancied slight and
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
give vent to his wrath.
The man with the chip ON his Shout
der is easily recognized, and his society
by wise people is carefully avoided He
can go nowhere without trouble follow
ing in his wake. If he attends a the
lter he is either annoyed by the usher
or some one in the audience or at the
man in the box office for not having
sold him a seat bought long before he
appeared at the window. He is the
hane Of the car conductor, and on the
railroad train he succeeds in embroiling
himself in row with the brakeman,
conductor, Pullman car porter and the
passengers. Each flying cinder from
the locomotive is aimed especially at
LIS eyes, and he succeeds in stirring up
the spirit of mutiny in the hearts Of
the travellers.
There are some women similarly con-
stituted, who marage to be in trouble
from the moment their eyes open in
the morning till they close them in
sleep. These people are indeed to be
pitied, if indeed they are not cordially
hated. This quarrelsome habit Of mind
can be so fostered that the petulancy
grows to be a malignant disease and
leads sometimes to the insane asylum.
Parents who notice in their children
this fretful, quarreling disposition can
easily find a remedy. They may not
agree to the measure-simply a good
sound thrashing. Every one has heard
Of the story Of the child who was con
tinually whimpering and quarreling.
In despair the mother cried: Are you
sick? What do you wantw Gravely
the child answered, 81 think, mamma,
I want a whipping" She received the
whipping, and there was a marked i'm
provement in her temper.-San Fran

Perception Of the Beautiful.

An instance of the Italian child's
quick, poignant perception of the beau
tiful occurred the other day in one OF
the settlement libraries. A shy little
maiden, with world OF dream
thoughts in the depths of her dark
eyes, stood by the librarians desk
waiting for Andrew Lang's 'Gray
Fairy Book But when it was given
into her small hands all the wealth of
fairy lore between its covers was for
a moment forgotten in contemplation
of the cover, a dainty design in gray
and silver. All thought of the story
vanished. The child stood there ey-
ing the book with look that was
caress, her hands just touching the
binding, tenderly, az something of frag-
lie beauty. And then, very softly, as
II to herself, she sail: II mustn't get 1t
the least bit dirty. It's so pretty.

The merchants alleys are the para
disc of the stranger who visits Canton,
China. The shops have open fronts on
either side the narrow lane, and every
art and industry. the homeliest trade
and the most fascinating pursuit,
thrives in the dark passage. Black
swinging signboards proclaim the bust
ness in characters of red or gold. Pan
demonium triumphs in a series of yells
as the chairmen scream for pass room.
The poles hit the pedestrian in the eye,
and the mandarin joggles the stranger.
The native tits his huge hat sidewise
to avoid a crush, and often the coolies
swing aslant in the alley or duck into
a store to avoid a catastrophe.
The Chinese as a people are modest
in their dress. The person Is rarely
exposed. Women wear double breast
ed sacks which fit tight to the throat,
and men are usually covered. But
under the stress of hard labor the man
at the forge is stripped to the waist,
and in the foundry a nearly nude
workman strides the iron seesaw like a
horse in the treadmill. The butcher
cleaves his fesher on the block amid
dried rats and skins of fowls stretched
taut on the rack. Next door the gold
beaten hammers in his cave. Beyond
the kindling man piles high his forest

His neighbor skins fish and hopes to
sell them from the box where they

satins and brocaded taffetas in won
drous designs of dragons and flowers.

THE FOOL WHO WON
Horace Greeley's First Experience
In New York City.

In New York City.
When Horace Greeley first went to
New York city, green, awkward
country boy, he met with discourage
ment. For two days tramped the
streets, visiting two-thirds of the print
ing Offices in the town and always re-
ceiving a cold refusal of his services.
His biographer, Mr.. w. A. Linn, says
that by Saturday night Greeley was
satisfied that the city offered him no
hope of a living. He decided to leave
for the country on Monday, before his
last dollar was Sone.
1t happened that some acquaintance
of his landlord, who called on Sunday,
told him of an office where a compos-
itor was wanted. Greeley went there
Monday morning before the place was
open. His appearance was So uncouth
that he would have been rejected there
also if the foreman had not had diff
Guilty in getting a compositor for a
piece of work he wanted done.
This was setting up a small New
Testament with narrow columns, the
text interspersed with references to
notes marked in Greek and other I'M
usual characters. So complicated was
the task and so little could the COM
positor earn at it that several men had
abandoned the work almost as soon as
they had begun it.
The foreman offered the work to
Greeley, believing that In half day
the boy would prove himself incapable
of performing it. When the proprietor
saw Greeley at work he asked the fore
man why he hired that fool and said,
PAY him off tonight"
But the foreman did not pay him off.
This boy had worked on a New Eng
land farm, had cut wood in the winter
cold and in summer had worked in the
fields under the noon sun. He was not
afraid Of toll He set that Testament.
When the foreman examined the first
proof he found that Greeley had set
more type and set it better than any
one else who had tried.

A SCOUTS HARD LIFE.
Come of the Hnrdships and Dangers
That Must BE Faced.

Inat MUST ne cacSu
An unfortunate, says Leslie's Month
ly, was sent with dispatch to one Of
the smaller outposts in the far north
west. 1t was toward spring, when the
E!idday sun thaws the surface of the
sl0w and the light frosts harden the
cclted crustS to q glace of ice as daZ-
llingly bright as the binding flashes of
sunlight from polished steel. The thaw
had crusted over the trail, and the
scout had to keep a sharp eye on the
way not to lose the path altogether.
Suddenly the midday SIN developed ex-
traordinary hues. Magenta, purple and
black patches began to dance on the
snow. alternately with wheels and
rockets of cheese colored fire. Then the
light went out altogether, though the
man knew that it was broad day. He
had become snow blind. The only thing
was to give his horse the bit.
The horse stood stock still. By that
time he knew that he had lost the trail
altogether or the bro2cho would have
followed any visible path. He wheeled

On. and then the man inferred that the
crust of ice had been so hard that the
horse could not follow back the way
it had come. That night the trooper
slept under saddle blankets, with the
faithful horse standing sentry.
For five days the trooper wander
ed blindly over the prairies, losing all
count of time, eating snow to quench
his thirst and sleeping in the holes that
the broncho had paved through the
ice crust to the under grass. The troop
err was now too weak to mount and
keep the saddle. AS a last hope the
thought struck him that if he unsad-
died his horse and turned it loose it
might find it's way back to the fort.
and 50 notify his friends that he was
lost. He did this but the faithful crea.
ture refused to leave the man lying on
the snow and stood over him in spite
of all his efforts to drive it off. On the
sixth day the mail carrier found the
pair. The trooper was severely frozen,
but the rider and horse lived to see
many another days service.

Tho Turk and the Grave.

In Russia many of the peasantry still
bury their dead in grottoes and caves,
Just as their princes and noble men
were accustomed to do centuries ago.
In Constantinople, as in other Turkish
cities, bodies are placed in the ground
as soon as the last spark of life has
fed. The Mussulman believes that as
long as the body is unburied the spirit
is in torment and that it is crime
akin to murder to modest grave. Ac-
cordingly, the cemeteries around many
oriental cities far exceed in extent the
abodes of the living.

The words breeches, trousers and
pantaloons are now used interchangea-
bly,, but originally the Specifications
were quite different. Pantaloons were
at first nothing but long stockings worn
in Italy as a sort of religious habit by
the devotees of st. Pantaloon. Brooches
originally reached from the waist half
way to the knee and finally to the
knee, where they were fastened with
a buckle. Trousers are the present

former two.

Here's fine point in law. See what
you can make of it. Some time ago a
negro in Alabama was tried for MUIR
der and sentenced to be hung by the
neck until dead. The sentence was
carried out by the Sheriff. He was
suspended by the neck for fifteen
minutes and pronounced dead by the
attending surgeons. After being cut
down his hody was turned over to
another medical man who was DESTROYS
of making some scientific experiments.
After working with the body for sew
eral hours life was restored, and the
negro is alive and well to-day Now
the question arises: In the eyes of the
law is the man dead or is he alive? If
he is dead he is very much alive for a
dead man, while if he is alive he has
not been hung by the neck until dead.
He has been tried, convicted, sentenced
and hung, although not dead Can he
be tried again for the same offense?

TO RECEIVE THE PRESIDENT.

When President Roosevelt arrives in
Carson on the morning of the 10Th, he
wiltreceive most cordial welcome. He
will be met at the train by carriages
and driven to the west gate of the
Capitol grounds to enter through a
double line of school children singing.
After a speech to the people of Nevada
the Presidential party will return to
their train and make their way west
ward.
The Capitol Commissioners are 60
ing to have the little domain over
which they rule appropriately deco
rated and prepared for the occasion.
They will construct platform level
with the west veranda of the building,
and this will be handsomely decorated
with the national colors. Governor
Sparks will bring over number of
buffalo heads to be used in the general
scheme.
There will be no shaking hands with
the President. A moments thought
will convince any one that any other
course would be impossible. The Presi-
dent visits several towns each day, and
to shake hands with all the people who
SO desire would be physical impossi-
bility, so there will be none of it.
