New “’ord Colned by a. Boy.
It was a small boy belonging to the
Beecher family who coined the- word
“girlsterous.” He was rcproved for
some noisy demonstration in which his
little sister shared. “It isn’t fair,” he
declared, “that eyery tune a. boy
makes a. noise he sh’d be told not to be
boisterous unless a girl is told not to
be girlsterous, especially when the
girl is more girlsterous than the boy
is boisteious.” The small Beecher had
evidently observed that when a. girl
wishes to be noisy she finds no more
difficulty in emulating and even
eclipsing her young masculine cen-
temporaries than in certain other
fields 'of rivalry. The shrieks and
squeals of schoolgirls at play drown
the less shrill voices of the boys, and
at promiscuous gatherings the women’s
voices are invariably heard above
those 0f the men. In short, the capaci-
ty for noise is not less well developed
in the feminine than-in. the masculine
half of creation, and Emerson says:
“A gentleman makes no noise; a. lady
is serene."—Philadelphia Times.

The comptroller of the treasury is an .
autocrat Whose decision overrides even
that of the chief magistrate of the na-
tion. Some years Ago, the then incum-
bent of the office refused to sign a.
warrant for money which Gen. Grant
thought it proper to expend. “That is
right,” the president said, “I admire
your firmness. Where your conscience
is concerned never permit yourself to be
coerced. You may consider yourself
Clear in this affair, for I shall appoint
a new comptroller to-morrow.” ’
