EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
This Servant Girl Was Evidently q
Person Of Resource.

AS a source of humor the Irish SER
want girl has long since fallen from
her high estate, result probably due
to the better class Of young women
from the Emerald Isle who come here
annually to help confuse the eternal
servant girl question" But now and
again one of the old, naively ignorant
sort turns up in New York house
hold, as was demonstrated the other
day to caller at house on the West
Side.
The girl who responded to the bell
was asked if her mistress was at
home. To this inquiry she surprised
the caller by. putting her arms behind
her back and replying in rich
brogue, as she thrust her face toward
the caller: Put tn tickets in me
mouth, maam, an I'll go an see. Me
hands is wet."-N. Y. Press.

TRICK THE FOOLISH
SCHEMES OF PREMIUM MAIL
ORDER HOUSES.
STUFF IS OF LITTLE VALUE
Cheapest Kind Of Goods Handled by
These Concerns, and They Are
Sold at the Highest Mar y
ket Prices.

There are dozens of premium-giving
mail order houses operating in differ
ent cities Of the country. These
houses reach out for trade in all parts
of the country, and do not overlook
the largest cities. They gain for their
aides and their agents men, women
and children, wives of lawyers, mer-
chants, church workers and any class
that they can. Some of them make
business catering to the Epworth
leagues, the Sunday schools, the
churches, and have plans by which
the people are humbugged and loaded
down with inferior goods, and the
league, the Sunday school or the
church gets little cheap furniture,
some dinky-dinky thing almost worth
less for all the trouble gone to.
These premium concerns that put
out baking powder, cheap coffees, gro
ceries of every kind and description,
generally put out the cheapest kinds
of stuff. Recently samples of the
goods that have been received from

goods were found to be of the rankest
kind. The coffee the cheapest Santos,
and doctored up with roasted cereals
and chickory; the baking powders
were an abomination of cheap acids
and other materials; the extracts
were wholly synthetic, produced from
coaltar products, and SO adulteration
was carried to the extreme. These
goods were sold at the highest prices
and were of such class that no re-
spectacle grocer in any city or ham,
let would have them in his stock.
These are the classes. that the good
women, perhaps well-meaning, but
not up to snuff, palm off upon their
neighbors when they become the sec
rotary of the club" and the kind Of
dope they innocently give to their
husbands and children, and when the
little ones become sickened by par
taking of the stuff, the dear little
woman gladly pays some doctor four
times the amount the abominable
goods cost.
There will be something dropping
pretty quick among a certain class OF
these big companies Their bust
ness is of the fraudulent kind and
there is likelihood that at no distant
period the government officers will Sc
cure such evidence as will put many
of the concerns out Of business.

The Worst Was Vet to Come.

A southern pulpit orator, one Sum
day morning, was describing the ex-
perience of the prodigal son. In his
endeavor to impress his hearers with
the shame and remorse that this
young man felt and his desire to cast
away his wicked doings, he spoke
thus:
dis young man got to thinking
about his meanness and his misery,
and he TUX off his coat and frowed it
away. And den he TUX off his vest
and frowed dat away. And den he TUX
off his shirt and frowed dat away too.
And den he come to hisself."

Broke Statue in Spite.

Mr.. Kitamura Naojira, sculptor of
the marble statue of female, priced
at 10000 yen, which is exhibited in
the Fine Arts building of the Toxic
exposition, proceeded to the exposi-
tion on June II, at a. M, and de-
liberately knocked down the statue
and destroyed the head and arms
with an iron hammer, which he had
originally used in carving the figure.
The reason for this violent proceed
ing was that he considered that the
prize commissioners of the Toxic ex-
position had shown bias in their
awards. and were prone to confine
high testimonials to artists OF their
own clique. Japan Advertiser.
