GETTING OFF A "HlGH HORSE. '"
The Experience Which College Grad-
 uate Encountered.

Any business man of long eXperi- ence, college man though he be him. self, will attest to the wrinkles that have to be taken out of the average college man at the first brush, says a man in business. 1 had an experience with one of them short time ago. When 1 first talked with him he was willing to accept" a position if it paid $100 month, for instance!
 l turned him out in one minute and thirty seconds, asking that he call again about the middle of the next week. He came-that is the charac- teristic of the college man, by the way. l jumped on him before he got his breath from the walk upstairs. I ask ed him if he knew about how much his first three mistakes in the place he wanted would cost the house?i He didn't, of course 1 asked him if he knew just how much more he might be worth to me or to another employer if he could assure me or them that there would be no mistake to cost anything. He thought he did.
 Then I came down to the brass tacks of the whole questions:
 "How long," I said, twill it take for you to forget in the first place that you belong to one of the oldest families in Virginia; how long to forget that you were the valedictorian of your class; how long to lose recollection of your having proposed accepting position at S100 a month, and to make up your mind that if I allow you to fill a place here at $60 month for the first year you will be fortunate young man"
 He was hurt. An old friend of mine had been an old friend of the young mans fathey He said he would call the next afternoon, and he came.
 q am ready to go to work in the morning, he said, simply. He has been at work ever since, too, and if he keeps to the gait he is going I shall be stuck into paying him $60 a week in- stead of his present $60 month.

The other morning, accompany ing a client to court, the case at issue being a breach of promise suit for damages, based on letters written by the defendant, the counsellor had been giving a lesson on morals to his eli ent, when the latter dejectedly re- marked: "Oh! I know all about it, Abe, the same old song, Do right and fear nothing"

A TERRIBLE PENANCE.
Tibetan Monks Who Suffer Life Inn
 prisonment in Dark Cells.


 Perhaps the most terrible penance suffered for religious reasons anywhere in the world is that of the monks of Nyen-de- -kyi-buk, as described by Per cival Landon in "The Opening of Tibet" These monks live in the ordi- nary manner during the novitiate; then they go into cells for period of six months; then, after an interval, for three years and ninety-three days; later for life.
 And such a cell! "Almost on level with the ground" says Mir. Landon, there was an opening closed with a fiat stone from behind In front of this window was a ledge eighteen inches in width, with two basins beside it, one at each end. The abbot was attended by an acolyte who, by his masters orders, tapped three times sharply on the stone slab. We stood in the little courtyard in the sun and watched that wicket with cold appre- hension. 1 think, on the whole, it was the most uncanny thing 1 saw in all Tibet. After half minutes pause the stone moved or tried to move, but 1t came to rest again. Then very slowly and uncertainty it was pushed back, and a black chasm was revealed. There was again pause of thirty sec onds, during which imagination ran riot, but I do not think that any other thing could have been as intensely pa thetic as that we actually saw.
 "A hand untitled in q tightly wound piece of dirty cloth, for all the world like stump of an arm, was painfully thrust up, and very weakly it felt along the slab. After fruitless fum- bling the hand slowly Quivered back again into the darkness. A few mo- ments later there was again an inef- fectual effort, and then the stone slab moved noiselessly across the opening.
 "Once a day water and an unleav- ened cake of flour is placed for the prisoner upon that slab, the signal is given, and he may take it in. His di- version is over for the day, and in the darkness of his cell, where night and day, moon, sunset and the dawn are all alike, he-poor soul.-had thought that another day of his long penance was oyer"

 The young man read it over and then read it through very slowly, and put it in his pocket, and went out un- der the silent stars, and kept thinking, and thinking, and thinking.

The late General Fitzhugh Lee had a large fund of wartime anecdotes. He used to tell this one.
 On account of the shifting of officers to oreplace losses, young Irishman was given command of raw troop of vol. unteers who were under fire for the first time. Their baptism must have unnerved the recruits, for they never budged at the command to charge. A second command likewise being dis obeyed, to their leaders stupefaction, hc rode along the line glaring reproach- fully at his men, and demanded, sar- eastlcally:

MlLl-ET'S INFLUENCE.
A Host of Painters Followed Him in De-
 picting Peasant Life on Canvas.

In his own words, Millet tried to de- rict ''the fundamental side of men and things" His subject was the peasant life: not the representation of 1t such as one sees in opera, nor the pretty, sentimental aspect of it; but the actual drama of labor continuously proceed ing through the four seasons-the ''cry of tie soil" echoing in the hearts of the patient, plodding, Godfearing toll CTS. Everything was typical. We have spoken of his "Sower.' Of an other picture the critic Castagnary wrote: Do you remember his Reap. err? He might have reaped the whole earthr'
 Everything that Millet did was full of deep seriousness and sincerity. He never was an "easy" painter, so that his greatness as an artist is per haps more clear in the black-and-white than in the colored subjects. Certain ly in his crayon drawings, Autographs and etchings he proved himself to be one of that limited number of artists who may be reckoned master-drafts- men. Moreover, the character that he expresses is of that grand and ele- mental quality which sometimes re- minds us of Michelangelo.
 Millet's influence produced a host of painters of the peasant, among whom the strongest are the Frenchman LHermitte and Israels, the Dutch man. These, like him, have repre- scented their subject with sympathy and with understanding also.-St. Nicholas.

Lldders a Mile Long.

Theodore Waters, describing in Ev.

mine in the world, writes:
Under the law it Is necessary to
maintain ladders in all mines, however

able to climb up.
"These ladders, in mine a mile
deep, were distinctly awesome. The
shaft was covered, but the trapdoor
was removed so that could peer down
the hole. The first few rungs quickly
succeeded one another into darkness,
but a moving light far below showed
that they continued on down below
the limit of vision The light came
from a lamp in the hat of workman
probably making repairs, but whether
it was 100 or 1000 feet down was i'm

GOLDENROO.

When the wayside tangles blaze
In the low September sun,
When the flowers of summer days
Droop and wither one by one,
Reaching up through bush and brier,
Sumptuous brow and heart of fire,
Flaunting high its wind-rocked plume,
Brave with wealth of native bloom
Goldenrod!
In the pastures rude embrace,
All o'errun with tangled vines,
Where the thistle claims its place,
And the struggling hedge confines,
Bearing still the sweet impress
Of unfettered loveliness,
In the field and by the wall,
Binding, clasping, crowning all
Goldenrod!
Nature lies disheveled, pale,
With her feverish lips apart
Day by day the pulses fail,
Nearer to her bounding heart;
Yet that slackened grasp doth hold
Store of pure and genuine gold;
Quick thou comest, strong and free,
Type of all the wealth to be
Goldenrod!
