pi BIT OP REAL LIFE.

The capitalist was sitting in bis library ^filter dinner, having retired to that comfl ior table apartment to enjoy the cigar with vhicli he would not profane the drawing-5-oom atmosphere. To him presently came his wife, a pleasant, matronly wo-

man, not far from his own age, and handsomely dressed, as became the wife of a millionaire. There was nothing extraordinary about this couple. They were simply rich Americans \quiet, unpretentious people,: who lived handsomely, went to church on Sunday, and endeavored to bring up their children in a common sense way.

They were on excellent terms with each other, being of domestic tastes. In short they were, with the sole exception of being somewhat richer than the average yerv creditable specimens of the great majority of well to-do Americans who do not get into fthe^tewspapers.

The capitglist laid down his paper as the lady entered. Really, to judg^from his eyes, one would.have said he was rather glad to Bee her. As for her, she evidently had something on her mind," and her husband, for the time being, was of secondary importance.

Sitting down, she shaded her eyes from the fire. "John," she said, "I am troubled about Margaret, the nurse."

Thank you, Margaret," he said to the woman. 'I'll ring presently. I want to sals a little business with Mr. Brown, ou may shut the door so that we shall not be interrupted."

Margaret blushingly retired, wondering greatly in her honest heart what the "business" might b«, and resolving that she would make Tom tell her directly tHe interview was over. "Well, Brown," began the capitalist, after giving the visitor a chair on which ae sat as if it were the most uncomfortable^ piece of furniture in existence. "Well, Brown, you know Margaret has been with me now going on fifteen years, qnd though -we are very sorry to part ith her, we are glad she is going to any a man who will make her a good isband. 1 don't doubt you are that fid of a man, but being a good husband n't everything.

Her life and your life will be spent in a «F6wded tenement your children will at best have but a-poor chance to rise in the .world, and they will have no end of chances to fall—no matter whether they pre boys or girls. "Now, I propose to giye you a show to •V setter—to become a leading man in ftia town, to have a good home of your own, instead of paying rent in a tenement to have fresh air to breath and opportunities, if you are ,industrious and enterprising, to makjrT#,^na.

Preaching at Ninety Years. Boston Post. Saturday was the ninetieth anniversary of "Camp-Meeting" John Allen's birth, and on Saturday evening he preached in Dr. Cullia' church on Beacon Hill place. He was arrayed in his customary suit of plain black clothes, with high, old-fash-ioned white stock encircling his neck. The gray hair, still quite thick, standing straight from his head in all directions, and as he spoke fr questlv ran his hand over and through it. Tne color of his face is almost a bronze, and from the button-hole next but one to the top of his old fashioned vest to upper pocket on the left ^ide hangs the heavy watchchain. He repeats the Scriptures instead of reading them, and when he preaches he pounds the pulpit and the Bible with his right fist vigorously. He uses quaint phrases and even quainter illustrations to his points and speaks withal most clearly and distinctly. He told last Sunday evening of his conversion, which occurred fifty-nine years ago last June at a camp meeting down in Maine. Since that time he has attended nearly 600 such gatherings. He told how he had first been brought to a realizing sense of his position and condition, and how, to use his own words, "he went there a swearing map and came back a shoutTog ?.!t!"^nt." When he was converted he 1«»*-•«' the air two feet, that is, so hi.- him, for he had no knowl- .. uimself, and shouted^ "Glory to God." People pronounced him crazy, but he said that if it was derangement, he hoped it would hold on and it aid, and it has not all gone yet.

A Specimen American Boy. Washington Letter to A.ngnsta Chronicle. About four jears ago I was much impressed by a young fellow named George McClellun, who was the brightest of pages. He worked hard all day, did extra jobs for congressmen and attended night school. He was the sole support of his parents and sisters, and never did a good, smart, ambitious lad more willingly and unselfishly undertake that labor of low anil duty. He attracted the attention of the warm hearted, eccentric Gabriel Bouck, theu a member from Wisconsin, who offered to take him to Oshkosh and train him to the law.

The Patisil was administered by the high priest, to whom Mr. Leadbeater stated that his reasons for joining himself to the Bu'iuhists were that it wa6 his desire to arrive at the truth.

St. Petersburg's Population. London Telegraph. Some curious figures are preseuted by the census of St. Petersburg. At the accession of the present Mar the population was 862,000,.showing an increase 25 per cent, in fifteen years. The proportion of males to females is 122 to 100. Forty per cent, of the jeople are between the ages of 16 and 30, and that there are so few children comparatively is accounted for by the fact that im »oiue vrars the mortality among infants under 2 years is as much as 75 per cent. There are only 11,000 heads of families with independent means, and there are 14,000 beggais. of whom 1 l,0u0 are women and girls.

BLOODHOUND AND BEAU.

A Ferocious Brute Loose In aNew York Village. New York Star.

Mr. William Coggswell, of Huntington, L. I., is the owner of a large hear which he prizes very highly, it being the gift of a friend of his. He employs John Haller, a professional bear trainer to attend to the brute. For the past few weeks bruin has evinced a disposition to escape, and has been extremely ugly. He has made several attempts to hug his keeper, but the latter avoided him. This made his bearship quite angry, and on Sunday last by a desperate effort he succeeded in getting loose and created considerable excitement in the town. Many of the townspeople were on their way to church when they heard that Coggswell's bear was at large, and they immediately returned to their homes, barred the doors and armed themselves with shotguns and other weapons of defense.

Mr. Bear walked up the main street of the village, looking for a victim, when Haller hove in sight, and the bear made a bee line for him. Haller ran to the stable, the bear close behind him. When Mr. Bear reached the gate he stood, and not finding Haller. retraced his steps to the village. Mr. Coggswell and Haller in the meantime let loose two large mastiffs, and they started in pursuit of bruin, Coggswell, Haller, and four other citizens following.

When the mastiffs caught up with the bear the latter showed fight, and in a few minutes the mastiffs lay dead at his feet. He tore the poor dogs in a horrible manner. After finishing the mastiffs he started in the direction of the village church, giving chase to Dr. Plains, a colored deacon. Deacon Plains reached the church just in time to close the door in Mr. Bear's face.

The old gentleman was almost scared to death when he entered the church, and screamed: "Fo' de Lord boss, bar de do' de debil am coming up the street."

When Deacon Plains recovered from the excitement and had regained his "breaf" he delivered a powerful weak sermon on the "necessity of being always prepared to meet the Lord." While Deacon Plains was expostulating with the sinners bis bearship kept gnawing at the door trying to get in to the Deacon.

While he w.is thus engage'd Haller and others secured him, and after a struggle he was dragged to his pen. He was punished, and uext morning had apparently settled down to routine business. He was unusually docile, and trainer Haller was congratulating himself on having finally subdued the brute. He had almost forgotten the incident of the escape, when Mr. Bear again broke away. If a ton of dynamite had been thrown into the village it could not have caused more excitement than the second escape of bruin. The stores were closed, an£f not a person could be Been on the street, as the bear wandered up and down "waiting for something to turn up." He had only been gone about fifteen minutes when Haller missed him, and letting loose three of his best dogs started in pursuit.

The bear saw the dogs coming, and remembering his mistake of the previous Sunday, started for the woods ond climbed up a tree just as the dogs reached the spot. Finding himself secure from the dogs, he looked down with contempt on the efforts of the villagers to again capture him.

A council of war was held, and after Deacon Plains declared "de only way to kotch that ere bear is to starve him down, as he's more cunning than Captain Scott's coon, an' won't come down when you ask him," it was decided to adopt the deacon's suggestion. Three of the bravest men in Huntington were selected to keep watch oh him until relieved and the crowd dispersed. The dogs, becoming cold, also Went home, and when the bear saw there were only three men present, he marched down from his perch, and the three "bravest men" in the village scampered for their lives.

The village was again aroused, the dogs let loose, and Mr. Bear was again pursued. He again got on a tree. This time Haller was determined to either catch him or kill him. He loosened a large bloodhound, the property of Mr. Coggswell, and sending Silas Oates up a tree, next to the One the bear was on, directed him to cut the limb on which the bear was snugly perched. Mr. Oakes proceeded to cut the limb, but as soon as he struck the first blow Mr. Bear jumped to the ground.

The brave men scattered in all diTeetioBfi, but the bloodhound faced the bear, anThr-tejfible battle ensued. The bloodhound instifl»ti.vj?ly avoided the bear's paws, but was hilribly mangled by his teeth. After fighting half an hour, during which the bear had the best of it, the bloodhound succeeded in getting hold of his throat, and would have killed him but Haller secured the bear, and the villagers pulled off the dog. The dog's flesh was literally torn from the bones, while the -bear showed no evidence of the terrible struggle. The bear is now safely secured, and should he ever escape again he will be shot: Many of the villagers will bet money that the bloodhound can kill the bear.

COLORING A MEERSCHAUM.

The Way to Smoke a Pipe So as to Give Ji It a Rich Color. The. most common complaint is that their jifeerschaums will not turn from their natural yellowish-white color to a rich brown, even after the smokers have smoked themselves into the color of a dried mummy in the effort. After the artist has finished cutting the design and has shaped the bowl, the finished bowl is boiled in wax. Why in wax? Because the wax penetrates the pores for a short distance beneath the surface, and serves to keep the coloring matter in the pipe. The coloring matter is the oil of tobacco, not nicotine, as many erroneously stippose, and it sinks into the meerschaum, whih is simply a very fine porous clay, and is stopped by the wax before it is driven out at the outer surface by the heat inside. If it were not for the wax the coloring matter would pass out and get rubbed oS and the pipe would never be colored. A glazing of would do as well as wax, but wax is the cheapest material that has been found for the purpose. Now, when over-anxious smokers try to hurry the process of coloring the pipe by smoking pipeful after pipeful of tobacco the wax is driven out, leaving the pipe raw and dry. The nearer to the top of the bowl the wax is kept the finer it will look when colored. Tni smoker should take long, slow pulls at the pipe, and when one pipeful is exhausted the pipe should be laid down to cool off before it is filled again.

Then He Heard a Voice Bob Bordette. "Pa," asked little Hyson of his melancholy parent, "why don't children get married?" "Because, my son," replied old Hyson, "the law, the state, recognizing their helplessness, their inability to take care of themselves, their innocent ignorance of the wiles and snares laid for their feet by designing wo—persons, throws about their helplessness the strong arm of their protection and keeps them from the clutches of ." Keeps 'em from what?" a strident voice remarked from the immediate vicinity of the kitchen door, as a tall, womanly figure appeared, wiping the dough from a pair of gaunt arms with sharp elbows, "keep 'em from what?" And old Hyson just sat there, swallowed and breathed hard, and thought and thought and thought, and for the life of him he couldn't think what it was he was going to say, or rather what it was he wanted to substitute for what he was going to say.

and the Catholic world showed that is was not misplaced. The product of Peter's pence during the remainder of the pontificate of Pius IX. averaged $2,400,000 annually. This was dividwl into two parts} one was devoted to the current expenses of the Holy See. the other was set aside for the reserved fund started in I860, and intended to meet any emergency which might arise. At the death of Pius IX, this fund amounted to a total of $12,000,000. The expenses of the Holy See are about $1,200,000 a year, of which $100,000 is expended "for the personal service of the Pope. His court is not an expensive one the Palatine guards, recruited among the Roman bourgeoise, receive no pay the members of the Noble guard (there are fifty of them) receive §25 a month apiece the ninety-eight Swiss guards and the fifty gendarmes that complete the military force of the Vatican are paid $10 a month and feed themselves the numerous chamberlains, bussolanti and gestiarn of Leo XIII. are very moderately paid. The revenue of the reserve fund serves to meet about half of the total expenses of the Holy See, and it has to depend upon Peter's pence for the rest. Thus far this voluntary tax has sufficed to do this, but there is no longer any surplus to set aside for a rainy day.

THE TREATIES.

Tber Have hot Been Recalled from the Sanate by the State Department. Washington Special.

The state department has not as yet requested the senate to return the pending treaties with Spain and Nicaragua. It was not to be expected that the decision to do tliis would be reached by the administration until after a cabinet meeting, and until the committees of the senate had been organized. The democratic senators, however, certainly expect that such a request will be made. This will raise anew question in the senate, for which it is known there is no precedent. The question is whether the president has the right to withdri from the senate treaties which have been considered, but have not been acted upon. There can be no question, of course, as to the power of the senate as a matter of courtesy to return the treaties. There is, however, a very grave question whether the administration has the right to demand their return. Nominations frequently have been sent back by the senate to the president at the request of the latter, but it is not believed that treaties have ever been returned. The senate, always jealous of its prerogative, under existing conditions is not likely to surrender any of its privileges, and it may be gravely doubted whether the senate would recognize the right of the president to demand a return of the treaties. It is possible that a request for their return might result in the very debate upon the merits of the measures which the opponents of the treaties do not invite and which the friends of the treaties do not seem at present prepared to meet. From inquiry that has baen made in Eemocratic quarters likely to be the best informed it is known that the object of the administration in withdrawing the treaties would be to prevent any consideration of them at the present session. Mr. Bayard is known to have been one of the very strongest opponents of the Nicaragua treaty at the last session, but his opposition is understood to have gone not so much to merits of the treaty as to the unwisdom, from a party and a practical staindpoint, of ratifying the treaties at the close of' the Arthur administration. It doubtless is Mr. Cleveland's policy to "go slow" in his diplomatic matters, as it is certain to "go slow" in the matter of appbintments to the civil service,.

The Taxidermist's Art

Chicago Nowb. "Hello! come in," was the greeting given a Daily News reporter, as he stopped a moment to look at the birds, animals, and stuffed reptiles in the show* window of a Clark street bird store. Looking up he saw a large green* parrot swinging in a gilded cage, and as the invitation was repeated the reporter walked in and looked about in curiosity. One of the most attractive birds was a South American toucan with shiny jet back, brilliant orange breast, and bright red beneath the wings. Its bill was larger than that of a duck, and very homely in form. Sweet-voiced canaries and shrill-talking parrots made an almost deafening noise. Beautiful gold fish were chasing each other in the large glass globes. Stuffed alligators, frogs, fish and snakes greeted the eye.' Many heads of deer, antelope, elk and bison seemed to be alive, and it required but a little stretch of the imagination to fancy that the bodies of the animals were back of the partition wall. "The most in demand," said the taxidermist, "are the heads of deer, moose and antelope. There are many orders for squirrels, mountain lions, rabbits and red fox. Oh, yes, very often some one brings a pet dog or cat and wants it mounted, but we never take sych orders, because the owner is never satisfied. They seem to expect it to be returned to life. There is a great demand for stuffed owls, especially snow owls. More canaries are mounted than any other kind of bird. Orders are received for every kind of bird, and often for frogs, snakes and other reptiles. It is seldom such large animals as deer and bison are mounted entire, but the orders for heads are numerous. The skins of animals are put in pickle until tanned and the hair is set, then they are cured with an application of arsenical soap, aud usually stuffed with fine tow, and are then mounted. When only the head has been stuffed it is mounted on a walnut shield. Birds are mounted on artificial branches or rocks, according to the nature of the'birds, and usually DUt in glass cases." (J

Bacteria as Food.

All kinds of food, says Professor C. F. Chandler, contains bacteria and other micro-organisms. Nothing is richer in bacilli than ordinary hay, from which they are never absent. Human beings are never free from them. They occur in the body in life they are constantly found in saliva, and the mucous membrane of the alimentary canal exhibits myriads of them in a state of activity. They are found upon the surface of the skin, in the bronchial passages, and, in fact, wherever air, water or food are brought in contact with the body, externally or internally. Pasteur recently read a paper, by Duclaux, before the French Academy of Sciences, in which he claimed that the presence of bacteria is indispensible to tne germination of seeds and also to the digestion of food.

Oil from PIne.5

New Orleans Timee-Demoorat. A distillery has lately been put in operation in Charleston, S. C., for manufacturing oil from pine wood. The material is subjected to intense heat in sealed retorts, and one cord of it is said to yield fiifteen gallons of turpentine, eighty gallons of pine wood oil, fifty bushels of charcoal, 150 gallons of wood vinegar, and a quantity of inflammable gas and vegetable asphaltum. The oil alone is worth about 25 cents a gallon and is used by painters and shipbuilders. Apart from its commercial value the process is interesting as showing how modern chemistry is able to supplant those old destructive chemical processes by which a single article was produced from a given material, and all the rest wasted ot ruined.

TJHE MORPHINE HABIT.

How It ia Raining Ttaoasanda of Fam iliea and People. PhnadBlphia Press.

The numerous paragraphs that have of late appeared in the newspapers concerning the great increase of the morphine habit in many of the large cities of the world started a Press reporter on a visit of inquiry to several of Philadelphia's leading physicians to discover-what foothold the vice had attained here. "There is no doubt that the abuse of morphine among fashionable people is as prevalent in Philadelphia as it is in any large American city," said a prominent physician, as he leaned back in his office chair. "The American of to-day is. possessed of a temperament naturally nervous, made doubly so by the life of excitement which he leads. Among business and professional men and the men and women immersed in a life of social gaiety you will find many victims of the use oi opium." "What induces it?" "The desire for some stimulant that will keep the system sufficiently braced to stand the many calls made upon it. In many cases the first preparations used for this end are quite harmless, and even beneficial, but the individual, gpwn accustomed to and fond of their effect, seeks some more powerful means of satisfying his appetite, so soon1 as. they, from constant use, begin to lose exeilerating power. "Undoubtedly,'in many cases, the individuals subject to the morphine habit are, at first, led into it through the use of paregoric, which is thought" to be quite harmless by the generality of people. A great mistake on their part, I assure you. A teaspoonful of paregoric is equal to one quarter of a grain of opium or six drops of laudanum, and a tablespoonful contains a whole grain of opium. As this is a mild preparation of the drug,_ it soon ceases to produce the stimulating offect Us use at first caused, and the victim, already within the grasp of the drug, discards it in the milder form to seek it in some stronger shape." "Is laudanum much used "Not of late years. Laudanum is apt to produce nausea, and its place has been taken by the watery extract of opium, which is free from unpleasant effects, and is, besides, so conveniently applied by the endermic method. This", continued the doctor, as he took up from his table a pretty little Russia leather pocket-case, "contains an instrument as necessary to a physician of to-day as are his prescription tablets." Opening the case, he showed a dainty silver syringe, terminating in a needle-like point, from the mouth of which a tiny gold wire extended. "You see before you," he went on, "the hypodermic injector, capable of holding a half drachm of solution of morphia, which contains one grain of opium. This instrument furnishes to the physicians an -instantaneous means of soothing the agony of disease or injury. By its use the terrible pain of cancer is soothed, and the declining days of its unhappy victim made bearable. Its discovery was a priceless boon to humanity, a blessing which should never be abused. Unfortunately, for the very reason that by its use the powerful effect of opium is instantaneously felt, the hypodermic syringe has come largely into vogue among the lovers of opium." "Is it true that many in the higher classes of society here, in Philadelphia, are addicted to its use?" "Yes. It is not so very long ago since a charming lady, one of the stars in the fashionable firmament, came into my office and told mc that unless I at once gave her a large dose of morphia she would take her life. Such was the extent to which she had carried the habit, and such hold did it have on her system that it had become a species of insanity, and I was obliged to relieve her with the endermic. Another lady whom I knew became such a slave to the use of the drug, and carried it to such excess, that her family we're Compelled to have her carefully guarded, rearing lest, in the deranged condition of mind to which she had brougnt herself, she would do herself bodily harm. Another of my patients, a gentleman, only 31. years old, had so increased his capacity for taking mprphia that in one day he has taken as much as thirty-five grains. That is enough to kill seventy men unaccustomed to its use He took at one injection ten grains. You would be astonished to see the number of scars on his body from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, all made by the tiny punctures of the hypodermic syringe. I counted forty within a space three squ "Are the punctures painful?"

inches square." Pu "Not at all. Allow me," taking the reporter's hand and burying the point of the syringe beneath the skin of his finger. "You perceive there is not even so much as the pain of a pin's prick would cause." "Is morphine ever taken to beautify the complexion V' "I think not. Instead of beautifying, it is very apt to ruin it. Particularly is this so when alcoholism is combined withr the habit, as is frequently the case. Under these circumstances the skin becomes bloated and unnatural. Very olten an injection of morphia given by a physician to relieve pain lays the seeds of the habit in the patient. It is for this reason that the physician must exercise the utmost care in the administration of this priceless medicine to nervous or hysterical patients. I only give opium when it is absolutely demanded by the urgent necessity of the case under treatment, substituting other ani£sthetics to soothe the aches and pains, the mental and physical weariness, the anxieties and distress so frequently complained of by patients in every-dav practice." "How does the drug affect the patient when taken hypodermically?" "A curious effect and one of the first is itching about the nose, often intense. The sensations, frrst, of exhileration, then of utter contentment, of perfect peace, of happy thoughts and delicious lassitude follow. When the effect of the dose passes off it leaves the patient irritable and un happy, with the feeling of a constant of something. After the hahit has become confirmed, the pleasant feelings that the habitue at first experienced do not come and the injection simply allays for the time the horrible craving that has has taken hold of the victim." j» "What is the end?" if "Mental, moral and physical death. The mind becomes deranged, even before the body, and the victim becomes what is known to the profession as a morphine maniac." "Is it a secret vice?" "In many cases. The wife i» a confirmed taker of morphine long, long before the husband discovers it. The son is a victim, and keeps it so well concealed that, unless some accident reveals it, neither father, mother nor sister have had the least knowledge of it. Can you not see how, when it is so easy to conceal it, the vice may be eating out the very heart of society, while all the world goes on in fancied security, ignoring a danger that does not obtrude itself too forcibly on the notice?"

Cbaraltans in Constantinople. According to last advices Constantinople is about to be deprived of-the benefit of another ancient institution. The government, having made a crusade lately against the numerous charlatans, has now given directions to its officials to prosecute the magicians, denouncing them as common cheats and rogues. Whether the court astrologer is doomed remains to be seen. Constantinople has always ehioyed a good supply of magicians, the best jeing from Morocco, and many of them blacks. The magicians, whose studioB can be seen in many a street, have been found of the greatest benefit, being preferred to doctors, doing a large business in love charms, and finding more thieves than the police.

THEV BI4KK HIM A PARTNER.

JUNIOR

An tvll S.tlesniao TrlU Uav Dry Fiima Appreciate V.\]a«lte S :t vice*. New York Son. "Do you see that happy-looking young fellow over yonder at the end of the counter—the one calling for a quarter of Cliquot, yellow label? Never was a better chap lived. He was a salesman that never lugged home less than $6,000 a year from the dry goods firm he sold for. I'm sorry for him. I thought he had a leveller head than to get caught by 'em. Poor Jack! But that's the way it goes. Nine out of ten of the dry goods boys that have any sap in 'em get caught in the same ways."

The speaker was an old dry goods salesman himself. The person to whom referred in terms of such deep regret was a wide-awake-looking young man who had anything but the appearance'of one who had gone wrong. "Went crooked?" inquired the reporter. "Bless your heart, no!" said the dry goods man. "Worse than that. Wellthat is—not exactly that, either. No, He has just been taken into the firm."

The speaker looked sorrowfully at the unfortunate youth. The reported laughed, for he thought the dry goods man -had gradually been worked in his way up to what he intended for a good joke. "No, honestly," said he. "It's a-fast-color" fact. Smart lads like Jack get roped in every little while. I've known scores oi them to walk right into the trap. Jack is setting 'em up to the best there is in the house, on the strength of his ad vancement. A No. 7 hat has always been a trifle loose for Jack, but he was never a junior partner before, and he feels now as if a 7| hat wotild pinch his head. To morrow he'll begin to think about taking a house on the avenue, along with the rest of the merchant princes- Well, that's all right. Let him feel good. A year from now he'll be buy ing beer, and inquiring around after cheaper boarding house. "Strikes you as being funny, don't it? It does seem odd, that's a fact. You see, it's this way. Every big dry goods store is bound to develop a salesman now and then who is a little more of a rattler than some of his fellows in the store. He has a trifle more of the adamantine in cheek, glibness in tongue, fertility in imagination, and elasticity in conscience. Thus favored, he necessarily loads his custom' ers up with more goods than the ordinary salesman is able to do with his, and the result is that the first thing he knows he is distributing something like a half million dollars' worth of goods around the country every year, and pulling six or eight thousand dollars a years out of the firm's treasury for doing it. The heads of dry goods houses are tolerably fly. They have their eye on all struggling young salesmen who are building up such fine trades. Some fine day the firm says to itself: 'Our young Mr. Snap Bold largely last

An He

enterprising young must be encouraged. "Then, later on, Mr. Snap is delighted to see the benevolent head cf the house approach him, shake hands with him, ask after his health, and so on. Well, well! he thinks, and begins to feel his head grow. Then the head of the house actually takes hhn by the arm and walks up and down with him, talking and smiling. My, my! thinks Mr. Snap, and his head keeps on growing. Presently the firm slaps Snap on the back in a respectful sort of way, and says in mellow, penetrating tones 'Mr. Snap, we have thought for some time that you were altogether too valua ble a man to be kept among ordinary salesmen, and—' "Snap begins to swell up. He never noticed, before, what a common-appear-ing, no-account lot of rapscallions his fel-low-salesmen were. 'And so we have concluded," contin ues the benevolent head of the house, 'to let you into an interest in the house, to which your services entitle you.' "It is weH that the firm has no more to say, or poor Snap's skin could never hold him, for he has swollen now worse than a toadfish. The upshot is Snap goes into the firm, just like Jack has, over there, and he works harder than ever to increase his trade. He's a big man. Oh, he's a daisy! The yearly settlement comes around. Snap steps around to the office to pull out a small fortune. Well, the head of the house says: 'It's been a funny year. When you came in a year ago, Snap, we inventoried those goods there at $4 a yard. They went out of style and I guess 30 cents will be good value to put tnem at now. There wasn't the run we expected on those buttons we let you in in on at $24 the gross, and I fear that an offer of 10 cents now would have to be considered as all they are really worth. Then we overbought those goods, and these goods were not up to the mark,' and so forth and so on, purrs the benevolent head of the house. Well, the end of the matter is that when the books are al^ balanced Snap finds that he has made about $1,500 for the year out of an interest in the house in lieu of salary instead of six thousand or so as an ordinary salesman. Well, he's a member of the firm. It won't do to let the business go down and so we find Snap digging in and holding his big trade, ana if ne don't owe the house eight or ten thousand dollars the first thing he knows, then he is an exception to most junior partners. When the head of a great dry goods house wants to get an $8,000 man for one-quarter of that sum, my boy, you can make up your mind that the house will have a new junior partner before long, and that another good salesman has got the big head. And that's just what's the matter with poor Jack over there. Thev've gobbled him, and that's why I say I'm sorry for him. Jack is a—hello 1 I'm blowed if he hain't called for another bottle! Let's go over and help the poor lad get away with it."

How Foreigners Become Insane. The superintendent of an Ohio insane asylum says of his patients: "I would say that fully one-third are foreign born.

They come to this country with high hopes and expectations they meet with tne fierce competition and energy which characterizes our American life, and many of them go to the wall."
