CHAPTER II.
The day following “steamer night” was
usually stale and flat at San Francisco.
The reaction from the feverish excitation
of the previous twenty-four hours was
seen in the listless faces and lounging feet
of promenaders, and was notable in the
deserted offices and warehouses still redo-
lent of last night's gas, and strewn with
the dead ashes of last night’s fires. There
was a brief pause before the busy life
which ran its course from “steamer day”
to steamer day was once more taken up.
In first interval a few anxious speculators
and investors breathed freely, some criti-
cal situation was relieved, or some im-
pciid i ing catastrophe momentarily averted.
In particular, a singular stroke of good
fort'ztzie that morning befell Mr. Nott.
lie not only secured a new tenant, but, as
-r.c sagaciously believed, introduced into
the Pontiac u counteracting influence to
the subtle fascinations of do Ferrieres.
The new tenant apparently possessed a
combination of business shrewdness and
brusque frankness that strongly impressed
his landlord. “You see, Rosey,” said
Nott, complacently describing the inter-
view to his daughter, “when I sorter in-
timated in a keerless kind 0’ way that
sugar kettles and hair dye was about
played out ez securities, lie just planked
down the money for two months in ad-
vance. ‘There,’ son he, ‘thnt’s your se-
curity—now where’s mine?’ ‘I reckon I
don’t hitch on, pardner,’ sez I; ‘security
what for?’ ‘ ’Spose you sell the ship?’ sez
he, ‘afore the two months is up. I’ve heard
that old Sleight wants to buy her.’ ‘Then
you gets back your money,’ sez I. ‘And
lose my room,’ sez he; ‘not much, old man.
You sign a paper that whoever buys the
ship inside 0’ two months hez to buy me-
ez ll. tenant. with it; that’s on the square."
So I Sign the paper. It was mighty cute
.in the young feller, wasn’t it?” he said,
scanning his, daughter’s pretty, puzzled
face a little anxiously; “and don’t you see
ez I ain’t goin’ to sell the Pontiac, it’s jest:
about ez cute in me, eh? He’s a contrac-
tor somewhere around yer, and wants to
be near his work. So he takes the room
next to the Frenchman, that that ship
captain quit for the mines, and succeeds
miterally to his chest and things. He’s
mighty peart looking, that young feller,
Rosey—long black mustaches, all his own
color, Rosey—and he’s a regular high-
stepper, you bet. I reckon he’s not only
been a gentleman, but ez now. Sonic 0'
them contractors are very high toned!”
“I don’t think we have any right to
give him the captain’s chest, father,” said
Rosey; “there may be some private things
in it. There were some letters and pho—
togz'aphs in the hairdye man’s trunk that
you gave the photographer.”
“That’s just it, Rosey,” returned Ab-
ner Nott, with sublime unconsciousness,
“photographs and love letters you can’t
sell for cash, and I don’t mind givin’ ’em
away if they kin make a feller creature
linppy.”- _
“But, father, have we the right to give
’em away?”
“They’re collateral security, Rosey,”
said her father, grimly. “CO-ia-te-ral,”
he continued, emphasizing each syllable
by tapping the fist of one hand in the
open palm of the other. “Co-la-te-ral is
the word the big business sharps yer about
call ’em. You can’t get; round that.”
lie paused a moment, and then, as a new
idea seemed to be painfully home in his
reund eyes, cOntinued cautiously: “Was
that the reason why you wouldn’t touch
any of them dresses from. the trunks of
that opery gal ez dredaddlcd for Sacra-
mento? And yet them trunks I regularly
bought at auction—Rosey—at auction, on
spec—and they didn’t realize the cost of
dra-yage.”
A slight color mounted to Rosey’s face.
“No,” she said, hastily, “not that.” Hesi-
tating a moment she then drew softly to
his side, and, placing her arms around his
neck, turned his broad, foolish face
towards her own. “Father,” she began,
"when mother died, would you have liked
anybody to take her trunks and paw
atound her things and wear them?”
“'When your mother died, just this side
0’ Sweetwater, Rosey,” said Mr. Nott,
with beaming unconsciousness, “she
hadn't any trunks. I reckon sh'e hadn’t
even an extra gown hanging up in the
wogin, ’cept the petticout ez she had
wrapped around yer. It was about or.
much ez we could'do to skirmish round
with Injins, alkali and cold, and we
sorter forgot to dress for dinner. She
never thought, Rosey, that you and me
would live to be inhabitin’ a. paliss of a.
real ship. Ef she had she would have
died a proud woman.”
He turned his small, loving, boar like
eyes upon her as s. pretcrnat-umlly inno-
cent and trusting cOmpanion of Ulysses
might have regarded the transforming
Circe. Rosey turned away with the
faintest sigh. The habitual lookeof ab-
straction returned to her eycsasif she
had once more taken refuge in her own
ideal world. Unfortunately the change
did, not escape either the sensitive obser-
vation or the fatuous misconception of
the sagacious parent. “Ye’ll be mountin’
a few furbeldws and fixins, Rosey, -I
reckon, or. only natural. Mebbec ye’ll
have to prink up a. little now that we’ve
got a. gentleman contractor in the ship.
I’ll see what I kin pick up in Montgomery
street.” And indeed he succeeded a few
hours later in accomplishing with equal
infelicity his generous design. When she
returned from her household tasks~ she
found on' her berth in purple velvet bonnet
of extraordinary make, and a pair of
white satin slippers. “They’ll do for a
start, off, Rosey," he explained, “audl
got ’em at my figgers."
“But Igo out so seldom, father, and a
bonnet”—— _ '
“That’s so,” interrupted Mr. Nott,
complacently, “it 'might be_jest ez well
for ayoung gal like yet to appear ez if
she did go out, or would go out if she
ranted to. So you kin be wearin’ that
ar headstall kinder like this evening when
the contractor’s here, ez if you’d jest
come in froth a pasear.”
Miss Rosey did not, however, imme-
diately avail herself of her father’s pur-
chase, but contented herself with the
usual scarlet ribbon that like a snood con-
flned her-brown, hair, when she returned
to her tasks. The space between the gal-
ley and the bulwarks had been her favor-
ite resort in summer when not actually
engaged in househOId work. It was now
lightly roofed over with, boards and tar-
pauiin against the winter rain, but still
afforded» hero. veranda like space. before
the galley door, where she could read or
sew, looking over the bow of the ,Pontiac
to the tossing bay or the further-range of
the Contra Costa hills.
Hither Miss Rosey brought the purple
prodigy, partly to please her father, partly
with a. view of subjecting it to violent rad-
ical changes. But after trying it on be-
fore ihe tiny mirror in the galley once or
twice, her thoughts wandered away, and
she fell'into one of her habitual rcveries
seated on a little stool before the galley
door.
She was aroused from it by the slight
shaking and rattling of the doors of a
small hutch on the deck, not a dozen
yards from where she sat. It had been
evidently fastened from below during the
wet weather, but as she gazed, tne fasten-
ings were removed, the doors were sud-
denly lifted, and the head and shoulders
of a young msnemcrgedfrom the deck.
Partly from her father’s description, and
partly from the impossibility of its being
anybody else, she at once conceived it to
be the new lodger. She had time to note
that he was young and good looking,
grnvcr perhaps than became his sudden
pantomimic appearance, but before she
could observe him closely he had turned,
closed the hatch with a certain familiar
dexterity, and walked slowly towards the
bows Even in be: slight "bewilderment
p
she obsé‘rve—d that his step upon the déclr
seemed different to her father’s or the
photographer’s, and that he laid his hand
on various objects with a half caressing
case and habit. Presently ho paused and
turned back, and glancing at the galley
door for the first time encountered her
wondering eyes.
It seemed so evident that she had been a.
curious spectator of his abrupt entrance
on deck that he was at first disconcertedv
and confused. But after a second glance
at her he appeared to resume his compos-
ure, and advanced a little defiantly to-
wards the galley.
“I suppose I frightened you, popping
up the fore hatch just now?" , » ~
“The what?” asked Rosey.
“The fore hatch,” be repeated impa-
tiently, indicating it with a gesture.
“And that’s the fore hatch?” she said
abstractedly. “You seem to know ships.”
“Yes—a little,” he said quietly. “I
was below, and unfastened the hatch to
come up the quickest way and take a look
round. I’ve just‘hir‘ed a room here,” he
added explanatorily.. "
“I thought so,” said Rosey
“you’re the contractor?" ,
“The contractoriwoh, yes! You seem
to know it all.”
“Father’s told me.”
“Oh, he’s your father—:Nott? Cer-
tainly. I see now,” he continued, looking
at her with a half repressed smile. “Cer-
tainly, Miss Nott, good morning,” be half
added and walked toward the companion
way. Something in the direction of his
eyes as he turned away made Rosey lift
her hands to her head. She had forgotten
to remove her father’s baleful gift.
She snatched it off and ran quickly to
the companion way.
“Sir!" she called.
The young man turned half way down
the steps and looked up. There was a
faint color in her cheeks and her pretty
' simply;
brown hair was slightly disheveled from.
the hasty removal of the bonnet.
“Father’s very particular about stran—
gersbeing On'this deck,” she said, a. little
sharply. 1 ,- ,
“Oh—ah—I’m sorry I intruded.”
“I—I—thouglit I’d tell you," said
Ilosey, frightened by her boldness into a
feeble anti-climax. ~
“Thank you." ' _
She came back slowly to the galley and
picked up the unfortunate bonnet with a.
slight sense of remorse. \Vhy should site
feel angry witli’her poor father’s unhappy
offering? And » what business had this
strange young man to use the ship so
familiarly? Yet she was vaguely con-
_scious that she and her father, with all
their love and their domestic experience
of it, lacked a certain instinctive ease in
its possession that the half indiflerent
stranger had shown on first treading its
deck. She walked to the hatchway and
examined it with a new interest. Suc-
coeding in lifting the hatch, she gazed at
the lower deck. As she already knew the
ladder had long since been removed to
make room for one of the partitions, the
mly way the stranger could have reached
itwtts by leaping to one of the rings. To
make sure of this she let herself down,
holding on to the rings, and dropped it
couple‘ of feet to the deck below. She was
in the narrow passage her father had peneo
trated the previous night. Before her was
the door leading to de Ferrieres’ loft, al-
ways locked. It was silent within; it
was the hour when the Old French—
man made his habitual promenade iii
the city. But the light from the newly
opened hatch allowed her to see more of
the mysterious recesses of the forward
bulkhead than she had known before, and
she was startled by observing another
yawning hatchway at her feet from which
the closely fitting door had been lifted
and which the new lodger had evidently
forgotten to close again. The young girl
stooped down and peered cautiously into
the black abyss. NOthing was to be seen,
nothing heard but the distant gurgle and
click of water in some rctnoter depth. She
replaced the hatch and returned by way
of the passage to the cabin.
When her father came home that night
she briefly recounted the interview with
the new lodger and her discovery of his
curiosity.
crease of her usual shyness and abstrac—
tion, and apparently more as a duty than a
colloquial recreation. But it pleased Mr.
Nott also to give it more than his usual
misconception. “Looking round the ship,
was ire—eh, Rosey?” he said with in-
finite 'archness. “In course, kinder sweep-
in’ round the galley and offerin’ to fetch
you wood and water, eh?” Even when.
the young girl had picked up her book
with the usual faint smile of affectionate
tolerance, and then drifted away. in ‘ its
pages-,‘er- Nott chuckled .uudibly. .“I
reckon old Frenchy didn’t come by when
the young one was bedevilin’ you there.”
“What, father?” said Rosey, lifting he:
abstracted eyes to his face. ._
At the moment it seemed impossible
that any humandntelligencc could have
suspected deceit or duplicity in Rosey’s
clear gaze. But Mr. N ott’s intelligence
was superhuman. “I was sayin’ that Mr.
Ferrieres didn’t happen-in while the young
feller was there—eh?”
“No, father,” answored Rosey, with an;
She did this with a. possible in« -
effort to follow him out of the pages of .
her book. “Why?" .
But Mr. Nott did not reply. Later in .
the evening he awkwardly waylaid the
new ledger before the cabin door as that
gentleman would have to pass on to his "
' room.
a
“I’m afraid,” said the youpg‘, man, ‘
glancing at Rosey, “that; I intruded upon ,
__your daughter today.
I was a little cu- .‘
rious to see the old ship, and I didn’t .-
know what part of it was private.”
“There ain’t no private part to this yet
ship—that oz, ’cepting the rooms and
lofts,” said Mr. Not-t, authoritatively,
Then, subjecting the anxious look of his
daughter to his, usual fapulty for miscon-
ception, he added; “Thargain’t no place
whar you haven’t as much right to' go oz
any other man; that ain’t any man, fur-
riner or Amerykan, young or old, dyed; or
undyed, ez hev got any better rights.

he added, with an arch look at Rosey and
a hurried look around the cabin, as if he
hoped to see the missing gift visible to the
general eye. “So take a seat a minit,

But Mr. Renshnw, after an observant
glance at the young girl’s abstracted face,
brusquely excused himself. “I’ve got a
letter to write,” he said, with a half bow
to Rosey. “Good night."
He crossed the passage to the room that
had been‘assigned to him, and, closing the
door, gave way to . some irritability of
temper in his efforts to light the lamp
and adjust his writing materials. For
his excuse to Mr. Nott was more truth-
ful 't than most polite pretexts. He had,
indeed, a letter to write, and one that, be-
ing yet young in duplicity, the near pres-
ence of his host rendered difficult.

CHAPTER III.
If Mr. Renshaw indulged in any further
curiosity regarding the interior of the
Pontiac he didnot make his active re-
searches manifest to Rosey. . Nor, in spite
of her father’sinvitation, did-he again
approach the galley—a. fact which gave
her her first vague impression in his favor.
He seemed also to avoid the various ud-
vances which Mr. Nott appeared impelled
to make whenever they met in the pas-
sage, but did so without seemingly avoid-
ing her, and marked his half con-
temptuous indifference to the elder Nott
by an increase of respect. to the young
girl. Shccwould have liked to .ask him
conversation would have been more inter-
esting than that of old Capt. Bower, to
whose cabin he had succeeded, who had
once told her a ship was the “devil’s hen-
coop.” She would have liked also to ex-
plain tO him that she was not in the habit
of wearing a. purple ,bonnet. But her
thoughts were presently engrossed by an
exporiencc which interrupted the even
tenor. of her young life. . ._
Shohad been,ias she afterward remem-
bered, impressed with a nervous restless-
ness one afternoon, which made it impos-
sible for her to perform her ordinary
household duties, or even to indulge her
favorite recreation of reading or castle
building. She wandered over the ship,
and, impelled by the same vague feeling
of unrest, descended to the lower deck-and
the forward. bulkhéud where she had dis-
covered the open hatch. It had not been
again disturbed, nor was there any trace
of further exploration. A little ashamed,
she knew not why, of revisiting the scene
of Mr. Renshuw’s- researches, she was
turning back, when, she noticed that the
door which communicated with de Fer-
rieres’ loft was partly open, , The circum-
stance was so unusual that she stopped
before it in surprise. There was no sound
from within; it was the hour when its
queer occupant was always absent; he
must have forgotten to lock the door or it
had been unfastened by other hands.
After a moment of hesitation she pushed
it further open and stopped into the room.
By the dim light of two port-holes she
could see that the floor was strewn and
piled with the contents of a broken halo
of curled horse hair,'of which ufew un-
touched bales still remained against the
wall. A heap of morocco skins, some
already cut in the form of chair cushion
covers, and a, few cushions unfinished and
unstutfcd lay in the light of the ports,
and gave the apartment the appearance of
a cheap workshop. A rude instrument
for combing the horsehair, awls, buttons
and thread heaped on a small bench
showed that active work had been but
recently interrupted. A_ cheap earthen-
ware ewer and basin on the floor, and a
pallet made of ‘an open bale of horse hair,
on which a ragged quilt and blanket were
flung, indicated that the solitary worker
dwelt and slept beside his work.
The truth flashed upon the young girl’s
active brain, quickened by seclusion and
fed by solitary books. She read with keen
eyes the miserable secret of her father’s
strange guest in the poverty' stricken
walls. in the mute evidences of mania]
handicraft performed in __ioneimess and
privation, in this piteous adaptation ofan
accidentt'o save the conscious shame of
premeditated, toil. She know now why he
had stamme‘ringly refused to receive her
had given him; she knew now how hardly
gained was the pittance that paid his rent
and— supported his childish vanity and
grotesque pride. From a peg in the corner
hung the familiar masquerade that hid
his poverty—the pearl gray trousers, the
black frock coat,_the tall shining hat—in
hideous contrast to the, penury of his sur-
roundings. But if they were here, where
was he, and inwhat disguise had he es-
caped from his poverty? -A vague uneasi-
ness caused her to hesitate and return to
the open dOor.
it when her eye fell on the pallet which it
partly illuminated. A singular resem-
blance in the ragged heap made her draw
closer. The faded quilt was a dressing
‘ gown, and clutching its folds lay'n white,
wasted hand.
The emigrant childhood of Rose N ott
had been more. than once shadowed by
swiping knives, and she was acquainted

and lifeless body of do Ferrieres. She did
not retreat or call for help, but examined
him closely. He was unconscious, but
not pulseless; he had evidently been
strong enough toopen the door for air or
succor, but had afterward fallen in a fit
on the couch. She flew to her father’s
locker and the galley fire, returned and
shut the door behind her, and by the skill-
ful use of hot water and whisky soon had
the satisfaction of seeing a. faint color
take the place 'of. thefaded rougeiu the
ghastly cheeks. She was still chafing his
hands when he slowly opened his eyes.
With a. start, he made a. quick attempt to
push aside her hands and rise.- But she
gently restrained him. , . .
“Eh—what!" he stammered, throwing
his face back from hers with an effort and
trying to turn it to the wall.
“You have been 111,” she said quietly.
"Drink this.”
With his face still turned away he
lifted the cuptto his chattering teeth.
“Then he had drained it he threw a trem-
bling glance around the room and at: the
a“.
“There’s no one been here but mysel ,”
she said quickly. “I happened to see‘ the
door Open as I passed. I didn’t think it
worth while to call any one."
The searching look he gave her turned
into an expression of relief, which, to her
infinite uneasiness, again feebly lightened
into one of antiquated gallantry. He
drew the dressing gown around him with
an air.
“‘Ahi it is a. goddess, mademoisellc,

“You are better now,” said Rosey
quickly, “and no one need know anything

He flushed faintly and averted his eyes.
“It is too droil, inademoiselle, is it not?”
“Of course it is,” said Rosey, glancing
round the miserable room.
“And mademoiselle is an angel.”

He carried her hand to his-lips humbly
«his first purely unaffected action. She
slipped through the door, and softly closed
it behind her. ‘ '
Reaching the upper deck she was re-
lieved to find her sfather had not returned,
and her absence had been unnoticed. For
she had resolved to keep de Ferrieres'
secret to herself rfrom the 'moment that
she had unwittingly discovered -'it,. and to
do this and still bobble to watch over him
without her father’s-“knos'vlodge required '
some caution. She waionue'of his

she was in the _ habit ofi new“ , ning'his
imprices more from afloatlbnate telerance
of his weakness than jr'everen'ce of his
judgment, she saw; nodisloyalty tOhim in
withholding a confidenbethnt might be
disloyal to another. . “It won’t do father
any good to know it,” she said to herself,
“and if it did itoughtn’t to,” she added
with triumphant feminine logic. But
the impression mode upon baby the spec-
tacle she had inst with ' was stronger
than‘ any other conside , tion. The revela-
tion of de Ferrierss’ secret poverty seemed
a chapter fromvp romance of her own
weaving; for a. moment it’lifted the mis-
erable hero out of tho jdepths of his folly
and selfishness. fine forgot the weakness
of the man in the .strepgth of his dramatic
surroundings. . It partly satisfied a crav-
ing she had felt; it was not exactly the
story of the ship, as chad dreamed it,
but it was an episode in bet experience of
it that broke its monotony. That she
should soon learn, perhaps from de Fer-
rieres’ own lips, the' true reason of his
strange seclusion, and that it involved
more than appearcd to her now, she never
for a moment doubted.
At the end of an hour she again knocked
softly at the door, ,earrying some light
nourishment sherliu'd prepared for him.
He was asleep, but she was astounded to
find that in the interval he had managed
to dress himself completely in his anti-
quated finery. ,It was a. momentary
shock to the illusion'she had been foster-
ing, but she, forgot it in the pit-iablc con-
trast between, his haggard face and his
pomatumed hair and beard, the jaunti-
ness of his attire and the collapse of his
invalid figure. When she had satisfied
herself that his sleep was natural, she
busied herself softly in arranging the mis-
able apnrtment}.__ With a few feminine
touches she removed the slovenliness of
misery, and placed the loose material and
ostentatiousevidences of his work on one
side. Finding:.thut:. he still slept, and
knowing thef.iinportnnce ,Of this natural
medication, she placed the refreshment
she had brought by‘his side and noise-
lessly quitted .t-hc..apartm_ent. llurrying
through the; gathering darkness between
decks, she ,Onceor twice thought she had
heard footsteps and paused, but, encoun-
tering no one, attributed the impression to
her over consciousness; 3 Yet she thought
it prudentjto, g'o ' t0“ the. galley first, where
she~lingered~a,-few moments befoi‘e re- ‘
turningto the cabin.“ On entering she
was a little stamina observing a. figure
seated at her' father’s, desk, but was re-
lieved at finding it was Mr. Renshaw.
He rose and put aside the book he had
idly picked up. “I am afraid I am not
an intentional fhtruder this time, Miss
Nott. But I feund noone here, and I
was tempted to look into this shipshape
little‘snuggery. . You see the temptation
got the better of me.”
His voiccandsmilewere so frank and
pleasant, so free from his previous rc-
straint yet still inespectful, so youthful yet
manly, that My was affected by them
even in her preoccupation. Her eyes
brightened and then dropped before his
admiring. glance. . Hadshe known that
the excitement of the last few hours had
broughtra ,, wonderful - charm into her
prettyfaloe, hails-aroused; the slumberiug
life, of her, half wakened beauty, she
would have beén more confused. As it
was she was ofily glad that the young
man should turn out to be “nice.”
hops-he might ~bell her something about
ships; perhaps if she had onlv known him
longer she might, with de Ferrtcrcs’ per-
mission, have. shared her confidence with
him and enlisted his sympathy andnssist~
once. She contented herself with Show-
ing this anticipatory gratitude in her face
as she begged him,-with the timidity of a.
maiden hestessit'o resume his seat.
But” Mr. Renshaw seemed to talk only
to make her talk, and I am forced to ad-
mit that Rosey found this almost as
pleasant. It Wis not long before itc was
in possession of? her simple history from
the day of her? baby emigration to Cali-
fornia to the tfinsfer of her childish life
to the Old ship, and'even of much of the
romantic fancies she had woven into her
existence there: Whatever ulterior pur-
pose he had in view, he listened as atten-
tively as if her iirtless chronicle was filled
with practical information. Once, when
she had paused’for breath, he said grave-
ly, “I must ask you to show me over this
wonderful ship some day that I may see
it with your eyes." _
“But I thinktyou know it already better
than I do,” said Rosey with a smile.
Mr. Renehat‘v’s brow clouded slightly.
“Ah,” he said, Itvith a touch of his former
restraint; “and why?" ‘
“Well,” said=Rosey timidly, “I thought
you went round and! touched things in a
familiar way as if you had handled them
before.” '
The young man raised his eyes to
Rosey’s and kept them there long enough
to bring back- his gentler expression.
“Then, becausévI found you trying on a
very queer bonnet the first day I saw
you,” he said, mischievously, “I ought to
believe you we'fe in the habit of wearing
one." ‘
In the first flush of ,mutual admiration
young people afe apt to find a laugh quite
as significant is a sigh for an expression
of sympothedc communion, and this
master stroke of wit ,convulsed them both.
.In the midst of it Mr. Nott entered the
cabin. But the complacency with which be
viewed the evident perfect understanding
of , the pair was destined to sufier: some
abatement. . Rosey, suddenly conscious that
she was in some way participating in arid-
icule of her father .through' his ‘ unhappy
gift, became embarrassed. Mr. Ren-
shaw’s restraint returned with. the,_,.pres-
cues of the old main. Inivqln, gut first, .
Abner Nott sti‘Ove with profound levlty to

ABUSE OF
THE TOOTH PICK.
An 'Unobjectionabio Little Instrument
“Then Used at Proper Times.
The; tooth pick, when used with discretion
and at proper timm and in proper places, is
an unobjcctionablc little instrument. Its
occasional employment is, as a rule, neces-
saryto cleanliness and the preservation of
the teeth. So, also, is the use of the tooth
brush. This adjunct of the toilet is, however,
never used in public. The person who, after
partaking of a meal, should proceed to pub-
licly use his tooth brush would speedily find
himself banished from decent society. Yet
_ such action would be less objectionablcto
witness than the service to which some peo-
ple who pretend to refinement and culture
put the tooth pick. There is but one place in
which it may be rightly used—the dressing
room—n nd no person who has the slightest
consideration for the feelings of others will
' handle it anywhere else.
It would seem to be almost unnecessary to
make such statements as those in the fore-
going paragrapb. _ No one possessing any
delicacy of feeling Or squeamishncss of diges-
tion will dream of controverting them. And
yet the public use of the tooth pick is daily
incremdng,,und has already reached propor-
tions that strike the foreign visitor with
astonishment and disgust, and make the
lives of many of our citizens anything but
agreeable.
The practice has doubtless grown owing to
the large number of people who live or have
lived in hotels and boarding houses, where
toothpicks were furnishch with the idea that:
guests would take them to their rooms, and
in sotno of the good hotels guests can even
now only procure toothpicks at the doors by
which they leave the dining rooms. In other
hotels and in many boarding houses, and
also, it is sad to have to write, in some pri-
vate houses, the toothpick holder is a regular
ornament (i) of the meal table, and its con-
tents nre assiduously worked.
In no other country that the writer has
ever visited have toothpicks been publicly.
usedinprivate houses or in the presence of
women. An English woman or a. French
woman of the better class not only never
dreams of usingu toothpick before people,
but she considers it something that it is more
pleasant not even to mention. Herc, how-
ever, it is no uncommon occurrence to hear a
lady ask for the toothpicks, and select one
that she thinks will fit her needs—The
Epoch.
The “Lightning Calculator."
I was much interested during orecent visit
to the exposition by an adding machine
deftly manipulated by a. young man with
the most astonishing results. It may be all
right, but itwill never, to my notion, suc-
ceedthe present systemvof attaining the to-
tal of a column of figures. Foracentury
past the world has been given “lightning
calculators” and glib tongued men have
stood on the corners and with blackboard
and chalk have shown how the work
of the plodding accountant can be re-
duced from hours almost to seconds. Yet
what business house or bank would for a
minute retain a. bookkeeper or accountant
in its employ who depended upon one of
these seemingly brilliant schemes to quick
results? Ihave known men who could run
up three rows of figures at a time, but 1
never knew one yet who, after having done
so, did not, with a. proper regard to his own
responsibility for any securing errors, run
over the three columnsin the Old fashioned
way of put down the l and carry the 9 to be
sure that the first resul “prov .”-—Ac-

City Horses at Dinner. .
Of all the barbarously stupid and wasteful
ccntrivancos man has invented the nose bag,
out of which harnessed horses take their din-
ners, is' the most ridiculous Opposite my
window as I write is a row of a. dozen express
wagons drawn up in front of the office. The
horses are chasing their ‘oats about in the
depths of their nose bags or tossing three-
querters of their dinner away in their eflort
to capture the other fourth part of it. The
street in front of them is strewn with cats
enough to sow a crop from. The poor beasts
are tantalized half out of their wits and have
last part of a necessary meal, and no one is
the gainer but the sparrows. It would not
seem difficult to invent a. trough to rest on
the shafts or polo of a. wagon, and so feed the
horses at their case. The more sagacious of
tho brutcs give a. hint at this themselves, for
you will often see them resting the bag on
the pole or shaft in order to get at the low
tide of grain within, which, by the way, may
be taken to show once more that horse sense
has points in it worth human consideration
and adoption-Alfred Tmmble inNew York
News. .
Well Water of Doubtful Quality.
As the country becomes Older, wells wlkh
formerly yielded good water are becoming
unreliable, and late in the season fur: ' "
water of doubtful quality. This fact is \vcl
understood in cities where artificial supplic.
of water replace that from wells. The same
impurity in the water doubtless exists in
many country wells, and is the cause of sick-
ness and death at this season of the year. If
the well is 'low have it cleaned out. Thit
* should be done wherever possible every two
or three years. Most people will be surpriset
at the amount of impurities to. be fOund it
old wells whose water they may for year:
have been drinking. If the well never get:
low enough to be cleaned out its water
should be filtered before being considered fit
for home use—Boston Budget.
