a CHEEKY BORROWERS. How Some Women Obtain All Sorts of Thine Without Purchasing. The cheeky woman whom I have now in mind is self-possessed, smiling and wellalressed. She is the terror of store- keepers. Recently a specimen of this class had x picee of fine needle-work that her own sewing machine could | not do. She knew of one in the mar- Ket that could and so she w to the office, talked price and lity, asked permission to try it ou the spot, took a roll from her shopping bz hour till the entire stitched an satisfaction with the machine and price, gave her name, street and number with an order for one of the best and goes on her way. never saw her again and found no ma- chine was wa the strect and number design She would be horrified at the hint of shop-lif Her little game is differ- ent.

Going to one of the largest establishinents she tried This same aun on and tried on wraps, trying at the same time the patience of the sales- woman, as she always came back to one, the most elegant of the lot, and seemed just on the point of choosing it. Finally she begged permission to take it home to show her hus feeling certain he would approve. The gar- ment was sent home, was worn at the reception and returned with a polite note and regrets that it wholly satisfactory. But the saleswomen get their little not found revenges.

The girl apologizes, runs her hand under the pile, draw out several of the same quality and price, names a figure double that, how- ever, and the customer buys three! “It is my business to sell goods,” she explains to a friend. “I have to adapt myself to my customer. ‘The other day a touglf was looking at plush at $1.50.

What the Relations Between Employer and Employe Should Be. While there is in business laws which demand the exercise of business prin- ciples, there are also natural laws which business is goes employer and employe should feel | equally bound to, respect. The e cise of kindly and brotherly feelings are import: mut factors in these laws, and give to both sides a better feeling of humanity. If practiced as it should be, it will recognize aman as a man, no matter what his position in life, and give him a more elevated opinion of men and things, und create a striving for a higher position. It is true that so far as the business relations are concerned, these are at an end when the stipulated wages are paid. But the employer who “regards these natural laws discharges aduty he owes to society, and gains the good will of his employ their confidence, interest and a more careful and judicial discharge of duty. Mechanics,labor ers or other employ es are men, not mere machines, to be governed and controlled by one com- mon lever represented by the employer, and the more kindliness and interest displayed in their behalf, the less ocea- sion for strikes and attendant annoy- ances, As well for a commanding officer to expect good results with his aids and staff selected from the enemy's lines, as for the employ er to do the same who places himself in antagonism with his employes. ose establishments in which there is the least discussion and trouble from strikes, etc., are those where there is the least difference between employer and employed, where men are treated as men, and where there is the most show of interest in their welfare. The employer who holds himself above his men, treats them as only slaves who owe their living to the em- | ployment he has to give, disregards the laws of common humanity, and | must not look for any thing” but a forced.mechanical labor. If there were | & more general and visible show of | equality there would be less occasion | for ill-feelings, grumblings and schem- ing. Among mechanics who are well | paid and well treated there is seldom found any opportunity for the organ- ; 1zers OF strikes to do thelr work, and 1 moug such men we may find the best | well-to-do condition cf things, When these relations exist we may look for a presperous business and better workmen.— Boston Budget. es } more p year superstition is that if “St. an (F eb. 29) look on aw cow it will mie r. —It is understood that Mr. Gladstone | will soon publish a book di | future life. | this v ten years. | A farmer drove ha He has been eng ged on Mi., partly of rubbed against on a loaded made iron | th work, ? iron cons and, 1 now they have a rich hay ld, from hic 2 crop Worth se ousand whi a e pv tO0saned of dollars is } z —A Southy issouri attorney i e made the fe arks in closing a case: the perjury of witnesses, the lowing “Owing to orance of the id the prejudice of the Judge, Lexpect to lose this case.” —Immense shoals of smelt recently entered Cowlitz river, Oregon, and in such masses that they could be scooped up with any kind of utensil.

The officials in their semi-barbarous grandeur number hun- dreds upon hundreds, but I paid no at- tention to them; the Empress and the palace were what I went to see, and the sight has thrown me into a peculiar mental condition. My less fascinated companion, who had been to court be- fore, took my breath away from me by remarking that she pitied the poor woman. Why? Because she will not find any thing new in Heaven in the way of jewels or surroundings. How about peace of mind? Of that indeed I think she stands in great need now, poor thing!’—N. ¥.

A Country Where It Is Not Very Pleasant “Riding on the Rail.” Railroad travel in Russia reminds one of certain sections of the United States where the roads are very new, the equipments cheap, the employes in- experienced and all kinds of agcommo- dations very limited. It has been only since the late rebellion in America that Russia has figured at all in railroad circles. The lines of Winans of Balti- more, were well built, but they were not well equipped, and have been poorly maintained. The arbitrary di- rection of the Czar that all the lines should be perfectly straight from one large city to the other, or from the be- ginning to the termini, regardless of the lesser points on the way, will be a great drawback to the country for years. The stranger’s attention is di- rectly attracted to the large number of small cities and important villages he sees from one to five miles off the rail- road lines. These marts of trade are more or less substantial, and genera- tions will come and go before the sta- tions are as plentiful along the railroed lines as they would at first have been made but for the interference of the Czar. It is very seldom that a house is pro- vided for locomotives, or there is a shed for any class of material, notwith- standing the fact that the nine months of rain or snow each year make them In other county more necessary t S Locomotives, rusting and falling to pieces, although but 2 few years old, and tools of every character are seen strewn about everywhere.

Moscow outsville Courier-Journal, ee CAPTIVE WILD BEASTS. The Modest Be -3 of Some Famous Zoological Collect The late King of Onde, retired, left on the banks of the Hooghly, ne 20,000 lively Indians who thor elephants might bett« be for ne for a living in the jun than living on the bounty of an emeritus monarch, regarded his Majesty as 2 hopeless cS with a ha s but very expen- sive hobby. His menagerie not only devoured the most of his enormous in- come, but also ate its way through all the money he could borrow, and he died heavily in debt, leaving his ani- mals, it is suppose to be divided among his creditors. Mr. Barnum will have nosuch trouble in restocking his cages as he would have had in the days when the hippo- potamus was first transplanted to Eu- rope. The unfortunate Nubian chief who at that time received an order to produce at Cairo one of these pachyder- matous products of Africa was painfnl- ly conscious that if he failed to appear before his master with a frisky speci- men he would lose his head, and this fact was all that drove him to the diffi- cult and disagreeable task. The catch- ing of the river horse has now been reduced to a science and animals of all sorts can be supphed at catalogue rates to any showman or fancier who honors the dealer with an order. It is said that the prices of zoological specimens are much more stable than those of many other com- modities, but it is likely that a few more bonfires like that which illumi- nated Bridgeport a while ago would have a tendency to send quotations up- ward. Most menageries have exceedingly modest beginnings. When we recall that just sixty years ago the London Zoological Gardens contained only a few lions and tigers we have on to hope that in time the collection now quartered in Central Park, but soon, we trust, be removed else- where, will rival the present magniti- cent show in Regent's Park. Many interesting specimens of our own fauna might be added to the Central Park managerie by the means that the French employed to give the Jardin des Plantes a start. The forests were made to contribute a large contingent of wild boars, bears, wolves and other animals of the temperate zone. The collection grew during the reign of terror by means that would not be commended in less violent epochs. The revolutionists seized many traveling shows on the pretext that they block- aded the highways and scared the horses, and thus an assortment of trained beasts were added to the nation- al menagerie in Paris, where they speed- ily forgot all their accomplishments. — N. ¥.
