GIRL AS AN OFFICE BOY. ghe Makes It Uncomfortable, It Seema, For Women Visitors,

Oftentimes a representative of the gen- ¢ler sex is placed in the position of door- geoper, and the uninitiated feels his heart

row glad when he gazes upon her face, for be is sure that he will receive gentile treatment at her hands. If he is young, good looking and well dressed, she cannot be affable enough, but let his hair be wel frosted with the snows of Father Time and pis trousers be somewhat ‘‘fringy,’’ aod ehe will be as indifferent to his appeals ss the young man who formerly occupied her place. It is tooneof her own sex, how: ever, that she can best display her frig'd manners. Let a Woman, no matter whet! er ehe bé old or young, rich or poor, enter the office, and the girl in charge stiffens ini- mediately, while over the face of the caller comes a look of despair, for she knows what is coming.

“J wish tosee Mr. ——,

”

ventures thea

ealler.

Like icicles the words fall from the lips of the doorkeeper.

“He is busy.’’ |

“Please take my Name in to him.”’

“He is brsy, I tell you,’’ returns the doorkeeper, investigating the contents of her purse or examining her nails very closely.

“Tam sure he will see mp if he knows I am here,’’ continues the c@Mer if she be very persistent.

{he doorkeeper raises her eyebrows in the most exasperating manner, then with asigh of utter weariness languidly rises from her seat, adjusts the plaits in her gkirt, returns to her desk for her bandker- | chief, then remembers that some papers | need alteration, and finally, when the caller is almost redyced to tears, she leisurely makes a second attempt to fallow out the request made, and when she returns and gives the requisite permission to enter it is with the air uf a queen bestowing a roya) tavor.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Changing Leaves.

it is one of the marvels of trees that svery species bears its own mark in every part, root and branch, bark and leaf, as well as fruit. A wise elder told us the other day the species of oak from which an acorm came by the fine tracery ¢ on the acorn’scup. Such a riot of ors and tints there is im the falling leaves that one might think the colors are accidental, but the keynote of color is constant in any species, with only ex~- ceptional variations.

The mistress of a manse in the Vir- ginia valley once went into the woods and selected her young trees by their colors, and those colors they still wave } in each returning fall. The birches are a golden yellow, while the oaks vary through yellow orange to a reddish brown. Fhe red maple sheds at the last a dark red leaf and the tulip tree a hight Fellow, The bawthorn aud the poison oak are violet, while the sumac and the wild vines take on a flaming scarlet. Soil will make some variations, and a

Farraget and the Torpedoes. Because of their destructive charactet nothing is more dcmoralizing to an enemy than torpedoes, and the moral effect of be- ing equipped for this kind of warfare is not to be despised, especially where the ob- ject of a navy is, #s it should be, to keep peace. Fear of torpedoes was all that pre- vented the French from entering the Prus- sian harbors during the Franco-Prussian war and the Japanese from going up the river at Yalu. ‘There was perhaps no cooler act of courage during our late war than at Mobile, where Farragut, only a moment after the Tecumseh had struck a torpedo and gone down before his eyes,

| shot forward with his flagship directly

over the course where he knew the torpe-

does had been planted for the destruction

of his fleet, signaling, as he went, to the | warning from the Brooklyn of ‘* Torpedoes gshead,’’ ‘‘D—n the torpedees!’’

aptain Mahan, in his life of Farragut, writing of this passage of the Martford over these torpedoes, says ‘‘the cases of the torpedoes were heard by many on board knocking against the copper of the Lottem and many of the primers snapped aadibly, but no torpedo exploded,’’ Farragut’s prompt action restored confidence to the wavering line, but had any one of the tor- pedoes expioded all would have been over. —Benjamin Micouw in North American Review.

Still Waiting.

Cragin—I respect a man whois really in search of information, but there are some persons who seem to ask questions simply for the sake of asking them.

Digby—-That’s so. There’s Dicmer, for instaxce. He asked me today when I was ) @aing to pay that $10 I borrowed of bim last wsonth.—Boston Transcript.

Hadrian, in A. D, 120, built «a stone wall from Bowuess, near Carlisle, on Solway frith, to the river Tyne, near Newcastle. It was 80 miles long and garrisoned by 16,000 troops. It wac from 12 to 20 feet high at various points, 8 feet thick at the top and was provided with a gallery in the rear, which enabled its defenders to take their stand with only head and shoul- ders visible to the enemy. At every quarter of a mile there was a castle with a garrison of troops. Beacon lights and signals were used, and on aa at tack, whether by day or by night, the news was at once flashed up and down the wall from sea to sea.

Manners Then and sow, »

A recent writer deplores the bad man- ners of the dancing people of today. The gentleman of the old style asks: ‘‘May } have the exquisite delight of being your lacy*hip's humble cavalier in the coming country dance?’ ‘Oh, sir, you are vastly polite, and I am overwhelmed by your re- quest,’’ says the lady. ‘‘Then I do not make too bold?’ ‘Oh, sir, I would not have you misconstrue my words.’’ ‘‘] then reckon upon your treading the meas. ure with your devoted servant?’ *‘I may not say you nay, sir,’’ courtesying. ‘‘ Mad- atm, you are too condescending. I will not fail to claim your hand,”’ retiring with courteous humility. The gentleman of the new style says, “‘Ah, Lady Florence, got an entry left or is your book full?” “*Well, here's a quadrille running loose,’’ says the lady, looking at her card. “‘Oh, bang the quadrilles. I’m not out for walking exer- tise. Not on the square, twiggey vous?’’ says the gentleman, ** You funny old crip- ple! Here's a polka I’m not sure about.” “A polka! That’s my form. We'll fire right into the brown of ’em and havea glass of the boy afterward, ch?’ ‘‘It'’s a bet,’’ says the jatly. ‘*‘Done. So long,”’ says the gentieinen. He strolls off, hum: ming a popular air.—Glasgow Herald.
