Booming Patent Articles.
They have :1 novel method of push-
ing the Sale of patent articles in Lon—
don. A number of men are smartly
dressed as Servants and sent out to
suburban shops to purchase the com-
modity it is desired to boom. The men
Inro specially selected, with :1 view to
Pconvcy the impression that their 111n-
ploycrs are person's of good position.
A, score of these ingenious individuals
will call at 11.11 the fashionable shops
in the districts allotted to them. and
ask for the specific article they wish
to introduce. They will insist upon
having this and no other, regarding
with scorn the suggestion that they
might accept 11 substitute. In many
cases, of course, the proprietor has
not the new article in stock; but :1
few days later :1 commercial travel-
ler waits upon him with the article
required. A smart tradesmen who
dislikes to disappoint his customers
will invariably avail himself of this
opportunity to give an order for the.
article in. question. This shrewd
scheme has proved of undoubted util-
ity in the introduction of a. really
good article of produce.’ It is scarce-
ly objectionable and frequently forms
the basis of a. sound and extensive
business.
\Vomen Voter-Vin Europe.
The only countries in. Europe where
women vote - to' any extent are in
those places that we would least vcx~
peat it; for example, in Finland and
Iceland. On the Continent the woman
suffrage movement has made no great
headway of late years, says the Chian-
' tauquan, The women have no voting
privileges to speak of in either France
or Germany.
In several European countries they
ate allowed to vote by proxy. Thus,
in the Australian provinces women
can vote fer members of the provin—
cial and imperial Parliaments, only by
proxy. They can vote in person at 10-
cal elections. The same is true of
Russia, where women who are heads
of households vote at; local elections.
As to the widows, they have the
right. to vote at municipal elections in
Belgium, while. in Italy they can vote
for members of Parliament.
The Lady’s Age.
Prince of Wales, about five
yflents ago met :1 charming young lady
well known in London society, at
Hamburg. "You are young enoug ,”
he said, in the course of conversation.
“for me to be able to ask your age.”
“Twenty-five,” was the ready reply.
This summer his royal highness met
the lady again. “What,” he asked
again, with :1 humorous smile, “is
your age, I wonder?” MTwenty—live,”
again said the lady. “But. you said
that the last. time I met you,” re-
with :1, smilc'.
“Well, sir," laughed the lady, “and.
would you have. me contradict my-
self‘:"—-Lady's Pictorial.
The
Rare Skill.
Probably the most remarkable
drummer who ever lived was John
Henri. the. famous troubadour-major
ot‘ the I‘lnipcror Napoleon. One of his
fonts was to play on fifteen different-
1 1y toned drums at the same time in so
soft and 1111.1'monious :1 manner that“,
instcad‘of the deafening uproar that
might have been expected, the effect
was that of a novel and complete in-
strument. I11 playing he passed from
one drum to the other with such won-
derful quickness that the eyes of the
spectators could hardly follow the
'movcmeuts of his hands and body.

AN UNFAIR DIVISION.
Cabby Had a. Strong Leaning Towaid
Fairness to Himself. .
Hank Miller of New York, some
times called the “Omnibus Iiing,’
was good-natured, and full. bf fun
and he enjoyed a. patronage which
eventually netted him a neat income.
One evening Hunk was making his
rounds of the stable, as was his wont
when he overheard the chink 01
money and a. subdued muttering
Glancing over a stall, he discovered
one of his drivers counting his fares
as follows:
"That’s two shillun’ for Hank, and
two for me,” laying the shillings in
tv.'o,.pilcs._ He kept on dividing his
fares, until he came to the last piece
of money, an odd shilling.
"’..‘lher,e” said he, “that‘s too bad to
(1)1110 out unev e11, ’cause I wants to be
square and go halves with Hank. Let
1111' see, shall I throw this in his 111191
No. I’ll toss it 11p; heads for me and
tails for Hank," and he spun it up in
the air. “Tails it is!” he cried as it
fell. "Well, that’s Hank’s I suppose,”
but he hesitated. “No, I guess I’ll
toss again.” This time it fell down
bends. “Ah, I knew that first; toss
wasn’t fair!” and having divided the
money to his satisfaction, he slipped
away without knowing that Hank
had been watching him.
Hank gained his office before the
thieving driver arrived to leave his
fares. “Good evening, Jack,” said he,
as the man entered. “Luck good to-
day?"
“Rather poor, Mr. Miller,” and he
laid the money on the desk.
“Well, Jack, I guess we can dis—
perse with your services from now
0:1.”
“Eh! How‘s that? What have I
110119?" cried the astonished J uck.
Hunk gave a quiet smile, and then,
looking the 1111111 in the eye, said:
"You see. Jack. you didn't treat me
fair. By rights, I should have had
another chance at that odd shilling.”
