All the Tran,fers She Had.

As a bevy Of laughing girls. rose to
get off a street car the other day OF a
point where transfers are given, they
were followed by a demure young
woman who had been absorbed in a
novel. Just before she alighted she
asked the conductor for a transfer, and
he, thinking all the girls were Of one
party, gave her six, which she took
without noticing and held in her HAND
as she stood on the corner waiting FOR
her car, the other girls having gone on
walking. When the reader got her car
she took q seat and was soon lost again
in her novel. Then the conductor came
up and she held out the pink slips. He
took them, counted them. and then
looked around with a puzzled express
sion. where are the others" ne
asked. "Oh," replied the young woman,
looking up a moment from her BOOK
that's all be gave me?'-Philadelphia

He Distrusted Cratory.

"The late Jimmy Michael" said a
Chicagoan, met me abroad last au'
tumn, and we talked together about a
young Welsh orator who was arousing
almost incredible emotions among the
Welsh people with his preaching.
"I never heard this mai preach
said Michael, but 1 have heard men
like him. The enthusiasm they create
is almost too powerful. l once listened
to a passionate address on charity that
one Of these inspired orators made, and
at the address end all old lady, with
whom I was slightly acquainted, turned
and borrowed S. from NE to put in the
poor collection.
"I let her have the money, and, as
it turned out afterward, she forgot

The Inefficient Mistress.

The domestic employee as she is to-
day is in part the product of inefficient,
inconsiderate and Indifferent employ
ers. L have experienced all three, and
may have a choice as to which l should
prefer. but the question here is not
one Of personal choice, but what sort
Of domestic employees will these differ
ent sort Of employers produce.
Take the inefficient first, and let the
girls themselves answer the question.
"She don't know anything about
keeping house: what's the use of trying
to do it right?"
1.-THE idea of her givin' us orders
when 1 know it all. and she don't
know no more than a baby"
Mrs. B. thinks she can cook. but she
says. Ann, take a little Of this, an a
pinch of that. you know how; I want
it to taste right" and I don't know
what she means .
Under SUCH employers maids grow
careless. contemptuous and imperti-
nent. three very unpleasant character
istics. for which they are not wholly
to blame.-Atlantic.

which are generally poisonous. are
purified by the action of disinfectants.
The can is, first Of all, fitted with a
double lid, one resting on the top of
the can and the other on a fange a few
inches beloW the top. While this makes
it doubly difficult for the odors to es-
cape, the entire interior Of the box is
constantly undergoing disinfection.
The space between the two lids is util-
lied for the storage of a couple Of small
tanks, designed to contain any one Of
the many disinfectants which are suit
able for this purpose. The tanks are
lined with zinc, which resists the &C.
ton of any of these articles. They
r readily filled by unscrewing a cap
and if the receptacle is about half filled
there is no possibility of the contents
being spilled. One of these tanks has
an opening leading out into the bucket
and has a direct action on the contents
of the can, while the other one opens
into the space between the two lids
and acts upon the air which may pos
sibly have escaped through the first lid.
BY this arrangement the only two
spaces where the elements Of danger
can possibly Turk are treated separate
ly, with the result that the can is alb
solutely sanitary throughout.
