A PHlLOSDPHER.

 

In winter time he‘s happy
When he's pelted by the snows:
In summer time he’s singing
If he gathers one sweet rose:
And earth seems ever better
For the happy way he goes.

If dark the tempest’s frowning
And no stars are in the night, 1

He thanks God‘for a shelter, !
And sleeps and dreams of light.

And somehow eaith is brighter,
For he ever makes it bright.

And so, in joy and sorrOw,
He walks his earthly way,
' And thanks God for to-morrow,
3 And does his will to—day.
‘And somehow Earth is brighter
For that lesson—love—obey!

ALIFE GAZE.

A few years after the close of the
war I was one of a party of men from
my town of Harrison and the adjoin-
ing town of Bridgton who went to
Cambria county, Pennsylvania and
worked in the woods for the late Hou-
orable Abraham A. Barker, 11 congress-
man from the Keystone state. Our
camp was in a large tract of pine
woods where settlers and ‘squatters
were few and far between.

An old hunter, Calvin Trott, whose
acquaintance I made, speaking of the
wild beasts indigenio-us to that region,
instanced the catamount, otherwise
known as the North America tiger, as
the kind most to be feared, albeit. it
was rarely seen in those parts.

He said that a catamount’s
trick was to watch for his prey from .
ambush, up in a tree, and when the,
intended victim was sufficiently near.'
leap down upon it, fasten his teeth in
the neck. cutting the jugular vein.
and causing speedy death. But some--
times this terror of the forest would
be encountered. on the ground; i114
which event, if one was unarmed, the
only-hope of escape lay in quietly fac-
ing the animal, catching its eye be-
. fore it made a spring, and litreally

looking it out of countenance.

I little thought that I was to be at-
forded occasion to try what seemed to
me a very doubtful expedient, to‘ say
the least.

My job was ox-teamiing. and my
route was a- logging road, of a decid—
edly‘ primative kind—simply a widez
pathway cut through unbroken woods. i
too rough for carnage use, but an-.1
swerlng for logging purposes. 1

It wasa abright day in early autumn
and I was returning to camp. I had.
halted The oxen to give them ,a short
rest, ba'd sauntered some rods ahead
of them. intending when they had suf—
ficiently rested to order them to ad-
vance—:1 inand.1te they were sure tog
obey. All at once, from behind a pine
she-1.1.21) beside the road. not over six
paces from me. appeared the form of
a huge animal of the cat species.-
which I knew only too well was the
terrible catamount!

The animal at once crouched down
close to the earth. his face towards me,
while his tail begun that peculiar gen-
tle twitching movement which with
the cat kind forebodes mischief.

That I. like grandfather’s clock.
stopped shor‘. goes without saying.
To turn and run was my first impulse.
but I well knew this would be a fatal
move. I was unarmed. and to advance
would only serve to abridge my prob-
ably 'few. moments of existence.
IVE-at the hunter. Trott, had told me
flashed across my memory, and I re-
solved to try the life-or—death experi-

ment.

\ow I had known what it was to
face hostile cannon and rifles. but in
the excitement of battle one in a
measure loses his consciousness of
danger. and besides, a battle is a lot-
tery in which the number are not all
blanks, but in this case. alone
and unarmed as I was, and in the
heart of a great forest. far from hu-
man help. to stand and face at close
range a pair of eyes which represent-
ed what was more deadly than gun-
-muzzles. was the most appalling posi- ,
tion I was ever in. I trembled from
head to foot. and I could feel the cold
sweat start from my forehead. but I
nerved myself for the task. and at
once, with head slightly advanced. fix--
ed my eyes directly on those of the
catameunt, which evidenitly was ready
for the fateful leap. ‘1

How long I thus stood I cannot say.
It mighifhave been five minutes. it
might have been ten minutes. but to
me it seemed at leasth-alf an hour. It I

through my brain in quick succession.
but the central idea that it was a game
for life, with the odds tremendously
against me, held me straight to the
line, and I faltered not.

And I was destined to win!

Presently the catamount rose to his
full height, gave a low, disgruntled
growl, as be, for the first time. avert-
ed his head. then slowly walked off.
at a right angle, into the woods.

I remained motionless except keep-
ing my face turned towards my re

A NEW OCCUPATION.

Profitable “'ork For Bright and Original '
' Women Only.

A place of uncommon interest to wo-
men is a signless, nameless, reserved-
looking establishment on a crosstown)
block, where things never seen nor
dreamed of in shops are sold and or-l
dered and planned for. weeks, even
months, ahead. The woman who con-'
ducts it is not a house decorator, tap-
estry hanger or designer or furniture, ‘
but her province is to provide feminine l
contrivances and knickknacks. ,

“I make it a rule to have everything}
done in the best, most attractive wayl
possible,” said the proprietor; .“buit if
I get hold of a piece of work that
shows originality I write immediate!
ly to the sender, stating my demand
for ideas and encouraging her to fur‘

that I am on the lookout for, and I

gestions. Any little entertaining con-
cert that will give brightness and in«!

Orleans girl does those, and they ring
true. She sent six as a sample and I
have ordered 200 more. They take
first hand. It was her own idea hav-
ing the frame just of the colored card‘
board. The battered hat and ingen-
ious face grinning from the pink rind
is comical, and would light up any
dreary corn-er.

-“Any business to be successful now-
adays must be inventive,” went on4
the genius. “There must 'be constant-
ly thought out new things to sell.
Fashion was notso restless and fid-
gety some years ago as she is now,
and people did not tire so readily of
approved modes and combinations.
Time was when in fancy work, if the
pattern was pretty and executed neat-
ly, the materials used of the best, and
the article when. finished had the
stamp of prevailing fashion, it was a;
readyseller; but now a thing must not I
only be pretty or tasteful, but it must
excite surprise and interest.

“I assure you that creative genius is

and catered to in a comparatively sim-
ple' business like mine (I rarely sell
anything over $30 and the majority
of knickknacks are less than $20) as

prises. The list of things that luxur-
ious people surround themselves with
to look at, to use, and to have because
it is customery to have them, is prob-
ably as full and complete now
as it ever can be, but the shapes,
sizes, kind of materials employed and
ways of employing them in the mak-
ing of these- etceteras provide an in-
exhaustible field for originality and
one that replays effort.”

Decorative art is too set and too
large suggesting a term to apply..-to
this special sphere, and “fancy work"
is too trivial. but the creative genius
coins annually an income well up in
the thousands; and mistresses of
households here in town, over in Bos-
ton, out in Chicago, and just across
on Long Island, count her their main
reliance in a score of matters, from a
children’s fancy ball or dancing party
to practical spring and fall refurnish-
ing and the selecting of favors for a
birthday party or Christmas or New
Year’s celebrationJ—New York, Sun.

 

 

SERVANTS IN GERMANY.

How Wages ,Compare With Anlerican
Prices—The Tip System.

It is only within the past two years
that 'there has been any intimation of
a servant problem in Germany. Up
to this time the market was so over-
crowded that maids especially could
not afford to be too fastidious in re-
gard to the work required or the ar-
rangements made for them. The
stream of girls from the country has
now been warned against coming into
the cities by the police, and instead
is turning toward the factories, while
girls who were formerly content to
be cooks now leave good places in
order to bite out by the day as “aus-
sulften.” or helps. because of the great
er liberty to be enjoyed in‘this way.
Although these changes arevfelt. the
difficulties here, in comparison with
American conditions, are inconsider-
able. The average cook or 1naid-of-all-
work is content with a wage of $5 a
month, while a housemaid usually re-
ceives fiom $3 .75 to $4 50. A very ex-
perienced cook, “cine perfekte koch-
in.” as she. would probably dui'b her-

 

self, may draw $7.50 a month. Such,
wages are, however, com pa ra tively 1
rare. i

Although wages are low, it is always
they will be supple-
mented by the fees and gifts. Tip-f
ping is carried to absurd lengths in';
Germany. If the streetcar conductor;
helps you on the train or changes a
gold piece for you he expects 5 pfen-i
uings (1 1—4 cents).for'his pains, and in
return will touch hiscap most respect-l
fully to you and wish you good-day,
when you leave the car. It is also
quite usual to give him the change;
from a fare if it does not amount tof
more than 5 pfennlngs. If a maid de-l
livers a note at your door she expects
at least 10 pfennings (2 1-2 1'en'._ts)
and generally receives more. Another;
opportunity for obtaining fees is given
butlers and housemaids by the Berlin
custom of locking the street door s and
extinguishing the gas on the stair
case at 10 o’clock at night. Tardy
guests must then be lighted 'to thedoor ‘

THE MARKET HABlT IN HAVANA.

. -——-— :-
Queer Things 0119 Buys in the l'lI-etropolis
o ‘ of Cuba.

The Havana market is crowded a
daybreak by Spam‘sh, French, Chinese
and «colored cooks of both sexes. .Su'me
chefs who affect the dignity of a coat
are accompanied by their apprentices
or scallions, who carry baskets.’ Mar-
kotinv is always done by cooks in Ha-
vana because employes are aware that
they can drive a better bargain. even
taking into account the perquisites al-
lowed then} by tradesneople.

Fish caught in Cuban waters are
especially nice, and the pargo, a spe-

 

cies of red snapper, is very toothsomc.‘
as is the cherna, which tastes "like 4

salmon. No Havana cook will buy

fish unless they are alive, and the fish' , ’

market, with big tanks full of fresh

fish, with white marble slabs and
scales, is very picturesque. The other
sea food is also excellent, although

' the shrimps and lobsters and mussels

are somewhat small. The oysters
grow on the submerged branches of
shrubs and trees on the coast. These
branches are broken off and sold in
the market, but the Cuban oysters are
small and inferior to the American.
Terrapin and turtles are very fine,
and tortoise have handsome shells.
which bring a. good price in the mar-
ket. Eiea crabs and land crabs are
also good. The latter grew to a large
size and their bodies stand high from
the ground on their enormous claws.
Land crabs burrow in holes, and their
locomotion is clumsy, sounding like
that of a drunken man. Cooks feed
these crabs on corn meal for several
dars before they cook them, as this
makes them more palatable.

A favorite way of fattening poul-
try in Cuba is to put them in barrels
and stuff them with walnuts and corn-
meal for several days before they are
killed. , Just before Christmas turkeys
are driven throngh the streets in
droves of from forty to one hundred,
from door to door, for people to make
their own selection.

Beef is killed the day before'it is
used, for it cannot be kept fresh lon~
gcr than one day on account of the
excessive heat.

When the cook returns from the
market his presence is made known 1to
the household by squaking ducks.
cackli-ng hens or squealing pigs, for all
such livestock are brought from the
market, and they expostulate angrily
on being carried around in such close
quarters. And pigeons and doves, with
soft eyes. utter a cooing, plaintive
note, as though with a sad foreboding.
of the tragic fate in store for them.

 

IVhat a “Butter Eck” Is.

Every calling has an argot of its
own, and there is nothing queerer 01'
less familiar to the outer world than
the slang of artists. When analyzed.
however, most of the studio' “patter”
is extremely expressive.
one of othe art staff of a New York
weekly was in the city and in chat:
ting with a friend chainced to mention
a. bright young southern draughtsman.
“He‘s doing pretty well,” said the {11"-
ist. “He’s selling all the Butt-cricks
he can make 'to the comic papers."
"What on earth do you mean by But~
tericks?” asked a bystander. “I’ll see
if I can explain,” sand the artist,
laughing. “A Butterick is a drawing
supposed to illustrate some joke or
witty saying, but really nothing but a
group of pretty women fashionably
dressed. As a general thing :it would
do equally well for a hundred differ-
ent texts. If you will look at almost
any of the satirical journals you will
see Buttericks without number. Usu-
allv two women are posing in the
drawing, and one of them is presumed
to be uttering the lines printed be-

neath. It requires no imagination
whatever to produce a Butterick—

nothing but a fairly accurate knowl-
edge of current fashions and a good
looking model. The same model will
do for both women. The current price
for this species of woodenware is
about ' $15 apiece.”—New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

Queen of American Gems.

To the state of Maine belongs the
honor of producing the gem that, be-
cause ofitrs great range of color and
remarkable dichorism, as well as the
great beauty of its uncut crystals, de-
serves to be called the queen of Ameri—
can gems. This stone is interesting to
the mineralogist on account of its
complicated structure, being made up
of many different elements. Not only
are the Maine tourmalines the most
remarkable produced in the United
States, but some of the colors from
them are by far the fine-st found any-
where i11 the world; The stones were
discovered in this locality in 1820, and
some of the crystals taken from the
surface pocketsat this time may now
be seen in the’ imperial collection of
minerals at Vienna. The mines of
Paris, Maine. have been worked since
1871. The largestfine‘ gem taken out
weighed sixty—nine and one-fourth
carats, and is of a superb light green
color, and absolutely free from flaws.
It has been suggested th21 .t the tour-
maline be .adopted' as our national
gem.

The Carter Court Martial.

Washington, D. C. Jan. 21. --Colonel
Thomas F. Barr, deputy judge advo-
cate general, has reported at the war
department for duty in connection
with the consideration of the long pen-g
ding case of Captain Oberlin W. Car-
ter, Corps of Engineers, court martial-:
ed for irregularities in the government
works near Savannah, Ga.

The president recently referred all
the papers in the case to Attorney Gen-
eral Griggs for review.

Colonel Barr was judge advocate of
the court and is thoroughly familiar
with the case in all its bearings.

It is generally understood that Cap-
tain Carter was convicted by the court
and sentenced to dismissal from the
army. ' '

 

"the Fate of the Paul Jones.

Mobile, Ala., Jan. 2..--Mr Taggart,
and Mr. Jones have practically aban-

on board the yacht Paul Jones alive.
The finding of a telephone by a trapper
near the mouth of the Mississippi and
the identification of it from a descrip—
tion as a part of the fittings of the
yacht, and the finding of two trunks
washed ashol e, containing clothing be-
longing to Miss Florence Taggart, have
convinced them that the yacht met
with disas.ter .

It is barely possible that the party
have survived and are in the Louisiana
marshes near Bird island.
