Character and Appearance. The talk about the overwork and underpay of m.my sorts of laborers tempts a thoughtful person .to take a rather critical attitude with regard to his luxuries. An enjoyment is easily spoiled by the twinge of reminding conscience, which insists that the pleasure has been Becurcd through the unduly painful toil of another.

But at least one delightful extravagance is entirely free from this taint of the primal curse. Flowers have no clinging associations of unhappy workers in squalid surroundings, but call instead to the minds of those who know them the most contented class of manual laborers to be found in the world. Among a good many florists and gardeners whom I have known I cannot remember a single dissatisfied or pessimistic one. They are always a little pathetic to look at, because constant stooping makes round shoulders one of the marks of the trade, and their general effect of unprosperousness is heightened by their prevailing indifference to personal neatness. Indeed, their fondness for the soil is almost always so great that they are not at all troubled when an astonishing amount of it adheres to them, and merely to say that a gardener is a better fellow than he looks expresses very feebly the virtues of the calling.

And the interest these men show in their workl My gardeners have an almost maternal fondness for their plants. "Would vou liko to see my houseful of sick roses?" ine asked me once. "Of course I should," I replied, expecting to see some depressing spectacle of languishing vegetation. Instead. I was shown a roomful of sturdy bushes of all ag&s, but alikji in the lustiness of their growth. "You see, in every lot which comes from the nursery there are some which haven't stood the journey, and which would never do to sell," said my florist friend. "Their value is not much, but I canDot bear to throw them away, and a little extra care makes them what you see here." "Isn't the time worth more than the young plants?" "Of course it is. But I enjoy giving the weak ones a bit of a petting."

I have often noticed that generosity is almost a trade characteristic of florists. It does not take the form of making their wares unnaturally cheap, but they are more willing than other merchants to give a little more than they have to. With most of the craft a dozen means fifteen, and I have rarely found one who would not ask a customer to take an extra rose for a boutonniere. They seem to feel that flowers were created to be given and not sold, and offer this little implied apology for the sordid necessity which makes them barter their lovely merchandise.

Nothing pleases them better than a customer who is himself an enthusiast, and it would be hard to convince them of the baseness of a real flower lover. I went once to the florist who had lately stocked my little garden with a complaint that the plants had all bean stolen. "Stole your plants, did they?" repeated he, with a quaint Scotch accent. Then, thinking that the catastrophe appealed to me in a moral rather than a commercial light: "But they canna ha' been verra bad if they liked flo'ers well eno' to steal 'em." —Cor. Kate Field's Washington.

Fattening Terrapin Without Food. We get terrapin from a little town down in Maryland, where they are bonght up from the fishermen who catch them in nets in Chesapeake bay. "There are diamond backs in other southern waters—here is one that came from Savannah—but none are supposed to have the exquisite taste of those caught in the Chesapeake." "How long will they live?" "For three or four months, and strange to say get fatter the longer they are kept. All the food they got is a little sea grass put down for them to waddle about in."

The average terrapin isn't over seven inches long, and in the shell don't weigh over two pounds. The late Mr. Wormley, of hotel fame, was a connoisseur in diamond ba .•!«, and bought as many as 300 at a time. He put them away in a remote room, where no light entered, so that they wouldn't stir about, locomotion being a hindrance to the fattening process.—Interview in Washington Post.

Guarding Against Counterfeit Bills. The Lounger was sitting in a notary's office the other day when a man came in to make an affidavit to some papers. The notary's charge was twfttty-flve cents, and the man handed him a $3 bill. "Do you know whose picture that is?" the notary asked in a genial tone, pointing to the portrait on the bill. "That's Hancock," replied the stranger. "Is it?" The notary did not seem to be certain about it, and putting on his glasses ho held the bill up to the light andscanued it closely. "Yes," he said at last. "I guess you are right. It is Hancock." Theu the stranger received his change and went away. "I always do that with people I don't know,*' said the notary to the Lounger when the stranger had gODe. "You see it gives me a tine chance to see if the bill is a counterfeit."—New York Tribune.

Gun Protection.

The importance of proper gun protection has not been always recognized. For a time France buHt ships in which the heavy guns and their crews were protected with thin shields only, while the water line was heavily armored. Now: many French writers are in favor of removing the water line armor eutirely. France was not aloua in following the form of construction mentioned, but she is the most striking example. All nations hnvc at I hues constructed vessels with wea' 'y armored batteries. "Tho iife of the ship r.iu.- be preserved," has been the watchword, !ut of vhat use avessel can bewh.we chiuf means of offense is destroyed is not very apparent.— New York Herald.

Mechanical Piano Playing. Sterndale Bsnnet said: "Nowadays it is not worth any one's whik-to take up public performance as a proi.-sion things are so different from what hoy were when I was a boy. Then 110 ouc -ver thought of giving himself entirely t. it, unless be had a natural and most unmistakable gift for the pianoforte. In the present day the advance in the mechanical [sic] (the means which bring one to a certain point) is so great that numbers of clever .people who have but little natural talent for music become players through a system of admirable training."—Musical Experiences.

The "House of Seven Gable.s," which Nathaniel Hawthorne made famous, is still to be seen ou Turner street, Salem, Mass.

BOY INSTEAD OF A GIRL

A N'EW BRUNSWICK WOMAN SOLVES THE SERVANT QUESTION.

The Littio Negro Came on Trial for Week, but He Ulted the Place So Well He Has Adopted the Family—He Does

Housework as Well as Girl.

"I think," said Mrs. Henry Archibald, as she settled herself in one of the comfortable seats in the ladies' parlor of the parish building to wait for the opening of the meeting of the New Brunswick Married Women's guild, "that I have got right down to tho bottom of the hired girl question." "(Jh, dear, I wish I could say as muchl" responded Mrs. Oxtoby, with a sigh. "Have you secured that perfect jewel of a girl we have been looking for all our lives?" "No, I have not. I have got down so far that I have no girl at all." "No girl at all!" "None it all. I've got a boy—a little colored boy.1' "Good gracious! Why, of what earthly use to you is a little colored boy? What can he do?" "Well, that is pretty hard to say. I have only had him three days, and during that time I And that he can do anything I tell him to do, and a good many more things that I don't want him to do. But, do you know, I rather like 'the little ihoke,' as my husband calls him. He is a new sensation and keeps us all alive." "Where did you get him?" "The other morning when Mr. Archibald was going out I said to him: 'Henry, that last girl has gone off. I wish you would send me a little boy to carry coal and sweep the pavement. Neither Matilda nor I is able to do such things, and we wouldn't want to if we were able.' About 0 o'clock that morning tt little, short, chubby, bullet headed, bright eyed colored boy came into the out kitchen where Matilda was making an effort to wash the breakfast dishes. The first thing I heard was Matilda in argument with him:

TAKEN UNDER PROTEST.

"'I have nothing for you. Get away from here.' 'I doesn't want nuffin.' 'Well, clear out, then.' 'I's gwine to wuk.' "'Clear out, I tell you!' Whack! Whack! 'Now, you jess let me alone, you gal. Ef you don't,, afoh de Lawd I s'prise ye!' "I thought it was time to interfere, and went out. Sdktilda had broken the broom over him, and the boy was backed up in a corner preparing to ward off an attack with the rolling pin. I told Matilda to desist, and asked the boy what he wanted. 'Gemman downtown done tole me to come heah to wuk.' 'Was it Mr. Archibald?' "'Dunno, ma'am. Ho were a fat, four eyed man, an' he had done slipped froo his har.'

That must be your father,' I said to Matilda. She glared at the boy, who dodged and threw up his hands as if expecting a blow. 'What is your name?' 'Silas Moorehouse. ma'am. My mammy lives on Cr&un ridge, an' I'se a strong boy for 12 years old,' he rattled off as if he were saying a lesson. 'I'll do anything you wants, ma'am, cose I'se willin' to wuk an I'se offle hungry.' 'Poor little soul!' said Matilda, 'he shan't be hungry around^ hare,' and in a minute she had a big piece of pie in the boy's fist. "Well, the boy ate his pie, carried coal, finished washing the dishes*, swept up the kitchen and cleaned up the yard. Then he had his dinner, and was washing up the dishes again when there came a prolonged whistle from the alley alongside the house. "Scuse me a minute,' said Silas and ran out. In a second there was a terrible fight eoing on outside the alley, with noise enough for a dozen people in a row. I nearly fainted, thinking somebody was going to be killed from the noise they were making, but Matilda went out and leaned on the fence. In Ave minutes Silas had sent his adversary howling out of the alley, and Matilda came in holding Silas at arm's length to keep his nose from bleeding cn her dress. She put his head under the hydrant, washed his face, bathed his nose and finally got the bleeding stopped.

MAKES HIMSELF SOLID.

'Silas, you're a young hero,' said Matilda soothingly. 'You licked him, didn't you?' 'Course I did. I ain't twine to have no wuffless young niggahs a-foolin' aroun' my place of business.' "From that time Silas was Matilda's friend. He did his work well, and appeared happy over it, for ho whistled until he made my head ache, and when he polished the stove he did it with two brushes, beating time with noise enough for a drum corp6. "The first night when the work was done I said to Silas: 'That is all to-night. You can come back about 7 o'clock in the morning,' and I gave him fifty cents. He gave me a strange, wistful look, and saying 'Good night, ma'am,' went out, shutting the kitchen door softly after him. I thought no more of the matter until I came down in the morning to find Silas sitting in front of the stove with his feet in a bucket of hot water and Matilda giving him hot coffee. 'What is the matter with Silas?' I asked Matilda. 'Nothing much, mother,' she answered, 'only I found him nearly perished with cold out in the woodshed, where he has been all night.' 'Why, child,' I said, 'why did you not go home?' 'I isn't gwine home no moah.' 'Why, Silas? Why won't you go home?' 'Ef I go back to de ridge dey'll club me and take my fifty cents away.' "Gradually I got the boy's story from him. His father and mother were both dead, and he bad no home in reality. The story he had told me about his mother on Cream ridge had been taught him by the idle and worthless colored people who sent him out to hunt work and took his money front him whenever ho earned any. The second night Silas slept in a warm bt in the gnrret, and was the fisst one .tip in the house in the morning. When Matilda came down he had a roaring fire in the kitchen, the kettle boiling and the front pavement swept. He told her confidentially as he took his half dollar out of his month and handed it to her: 'I'se nevvah gwine iiwny from heah no moah. I'se done 'dapteil you aud you mother un' you fodder, aii' I don't need ho wages.'"—New York World.

Smoked Himself to Death. The most fantastic story told is that of the strange and slow suicide of the Baroa: Bela Olnyi, at Pesth, in the year 1875. The baron was supposed to be very wealthy.: He had a wife and six children. He last his money iu speculation, but this was not known. He went to Paris and insured his life for 100,000 guelden each in five companies. He returned to Pesth and his habita. began to chahge. He absented himself from home for long periods every day. The picture of health, he began to droop and pine away. In ten months he ditd of

what the doctors 'called js^iUoping co*.^ sumption. The insurance companies were% suspicious, and their detectives nnp^trthed a most wonderful plot.

This nobleman was discovered to have hired a small room in a remote and mean portion of the city. It was broken into and found to be furnished with a comfortable sofa, a table, two chairs and two chests. In one of these was found a comfortable dressing gown, a pair of loose Turkish trousers, a fez, and a dozen long pipes. Iu the other were found about 200 strong Havana cigars and a half pound of common smoking tobacco. From the wrappers found in the bottom of the chest it would appear that in less than eight months the nobleman had smoked about 3,500 cigars, and about 1G0 pounds of smoking tobacco, having deliberately poisoned himself with nicotine.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

One of the Saddest of Cemeteries. Mr. Walter Besant once wrote a pathetic description of the church yard at Bourne* mouth, where so many young folks are buried, but the following note from Jo* hannesburg tells a still more p&thetio tale: "One of the saddest sights in the world Ik the cemetery at Johannesburg. It is &U heart breaking place. Apiece of raw velt on the slope of a hill above the town has been inclosed, and this is the last resting' place of between twelve and fourteen hundred people, the larger portion of whom are young fellows between nineteen and thirty, who rushed up here convinced that a few months would see them rich for life.

Most of the graves are nameless, but alL are numbered. Just beyond the cemetery Is a glittering mountain. When the son shines on it it sparkles with a thousands' ^, prismatic colors and looks like the entrance to the palace of diamonds where the fairy Florizella lives but in reality it is merely the place to which alltherabbish of Johannesburg is carted, and, as apparently half the food of the town comes out of tins, the result is a meretricious splendor quite in keeping with the other attractions of "Goldopolis." London News. F''T1

Wheuoe Come the Red Indians One of her majesty's inspectors was once examining a class in reading, when he pot the following question to a child who had'pfi just read a paragraph to him, "Now, con 1§| cerning these red Indians, my child, which are mentioned in the first portion o£ your^H paragraph, where do they live?"

The little examinee was evidently deter- „:(, mined not to lose her "excellent" mark for general knowledge and intelligence so, after a few moments' hesitation, she answered, "In wigwams, sir!" "Yes, just so," reluctantly assented the inspector "but I wish you to tell me in what country they live?"

The girl felt that she was "cornered,'? but with praiseworthy resolution she en-," deavored to rise equal to the occasion. So/%8 —although her lips were trembling with' nervous excitement—slie looked up into the inspector's face and replied, "Please, sir, In Red India!"—Chambers' Journal.

How Hardtack Is Made.

Not one person in 100,000 knows how the army "hardtack" is made. Let me indnofr the world into the mystery. You take some flour, a pinch of salt, a little water mix the three ingredients well, cut the preparation into regulation size and then proceed to bake the same. Time hardens: the "tack" and improves it. When it gets to the consistency ef granite it is at its best. The hardtack has imprinted on its face the letters B. C., because they were u& hard to masticate tho boys in the army nterpreted the initials to mean that tl ey were made before the birth of Christ.—Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
