WOLVES IN ,RUSSIA.
Between the villages of Toblosky and
Urkovsky, in Russia—thirty mileslapart
—there was, in 1868, only one house.
That was a half way hotel. The rest of the
road was given up to plain and forest, and
for 'five years previous to 1868 this had
been one of the most dangerous places in
all Russia. Travelers waited at either
village until a band of'from ten to twenty
had collected, and in midwinter soldiers
had to accompany all travelers. A mem-
ber of the French legatiou told me that,
in making this journey once, the sledges
were followed and surrounded by'a drove
of wolves, estimated to number 2,000.
No attack was made, there being a large
escort of soldiers. '
The first time I passed over the road
was in summer, and not a wolf appeared
in sight. At one point. where the road
traversed a plain for eight miles, I saw,
without leaving the beaten track, the
bones or at least fifty horses and of
seventy-five persons. \Vhile I was living
at Urkovsky that summer the Russian
government offered a bounty of fourteen
cents for the scalp of every wolf killed in
that district. There was another Ameri-
can and an Englishman in the village, and
when the proclamation came out we de-
termined on a wolf hunt. ‘Ve called in a
carpenter and gave him°plans of a house
on runners. It was as large as one" of the
photograph cars .drawn from town to
town in’the United States, and provided
with three bunks, a stove and other con-
veniences. There were portholes in the
sides and floor, besides three or four slid-
ing doors, and when the house was done
we found plenty of room for three men
and coal and provisions for afortnight.
There was great curiosity in the town as
to what sort of a move we had in view,
and the house had been scarcely finished
when a government ofilcial made us a call
and demanded the fullest information.
When we told him that we proposed to
draw the car out upon the plain and use '
it as a cover and protection while we shot
wolves his gravity increased, and he of-
ficially notified us not to move it a. foot un-
til he had communicated with his supe-
riors. The government had . offered a
bounty for the destruction of wolves, but
‘we must get permission to destroy them!
However, we had lots of time ahead,
and while waiting the appearance of the
official the car was finished and stocked.
It was as roomy as the ordinary freight
car, and we put in plenty of fuel, pro-
visions and ammunition. We took only
shotguns and revolvers with us. It was
about Dec. 1 when the official made us a
second call. He was still very dignified
and very grave. He had corresponded
with the police inspector of the district,
and that official had corresponded with a
greater man, and perhaps the case went
to St. Petersburg. It had, however, been
decided that we could move our car, pro-
viding we held ourselves responsible for
all damagesto the czar’s subjects. W's
did not move until the first week in
January. It was every severe winter,
with wolves more numerous than for
years past, and we had trouble to get
teams to draw our house to the plains.
All through December the road filled up
as often as opened, but early in January
we got away, having four horses to draw
the house. IVe were to be left on the
center of the plain for a week, when the
horses were to come back for anew move. :
As we got out of town early in the
morning we reached the spot selected long
before noon. The car was hauled off to
the side of the road at a favorable place,
and the men with the horses waited no
”longer than to unhitch them before start-
ing on the return journey. While we had
not seen a wolf on the trip out, several
sledges had been pursued the week before
in broad daylight, and the two men and
four horses were certainly a temptation
for the brutes to gather. In making
ready we had had the advice of two or
three old wolf hunters, and had adopted
some of their suggestions. We had
brought along some raw meat for bait, as
also a gallon of beef’s blood. As soon as
we settled down we thawed this blood,
and then went out in three diflerent direc-
tions and sprinkled it on the hard, white
crust. On our way back to the car we
left a trail and fluug out a piece of meat
at intervals. We had not yet reached the
car when we heard the howl of a wolf,
and five minutes later we could see a
dozen of them scampering about. It was
an hour, however, before one came within
reach of our guns. Then the sun, which
had been brightly shining all the forenoon,
was hidden by clouds, and a snow squall
came up to still further darken the
heavens.
The howling of wolves could now be
heard in every direction, and pretty soon
they followed the trails of blood in until
we all got a shot, and each tumbled a
wolf over. From the instant they fell to
the time their bones were clean picked by
their companions was not over forty sec-
onds. It was something marvelous to
watch the. proceeding. ' The mouthful
apiece whet ted their appetites and stimu-
lated their ferocity,_aud the whole pack
made arnsh at the car. The beasts no
doubt tookit fora traveler’s sledge, and
the attack was surprising in its fierccness.
The number of wolves was not less than
500, and for the first five minutes we
were seriously‘alarmed. They were over,
under, and around us, howling, barking,
snarling, growling, and fighting in a way
to give us chills, and, had our car not
been securely fastened to the broad, heavy
runners, they would have upset it in their
rushes. The exterior had been sheathed
with sheet iron. we had objected
to this expense, but had finally accepted
the advice of one of the wolf hunters.
\Ve now realized the wisdom of this pre-
caution. rBut for the sheathing the
wolves would have eaten their way into
the car in adozen places. .
Such a fierce and unexpected attack
rattled us for a few minutes, but after a
bit we began firing buckshot into the pack
as fast as we could load and pull trigger.
Then it was pandemonium let loose. The
bowls, yells, yelps, growls and cries re
doubled, because every victim of our guns
was being devoured by his companions.
We fired thirty-four charges of buckshot
into the mass, killing at least double‘that
number of wolves, and then the pack
began to scatter, and ten minutes later
not a. living wolf was in sight. It was a
horrible looking sight around us. Every
wolf but one had been devoured. Tufts
of fur and bloody bones were scattered
over the snow for 100 feet in every direc-
tion, and there was not a foot of snow
without its blood stain. There Was a
wounded wolf who had escaped the fangs
of the pack, probably because their appe-
tites were satisfied for the time being.
He had been shot through the hips and
could no longer use his hind legs. He
was a very large fellow, and we sodu had
reason to believe that he was still danger-
ous. The beast was about fifty steps
away when we descended from the car,
and the minute he caught sight of us a
great transformation took place. All the
fur along his spine stood up, his eyes
blazed like fire, and he uttered such fierce
growls that the three of us raised our
guns. The brute could drag himself over
the snow crust with his fore legs, and as
we stood looking at him he began hitch-
ing himself forward to attack us.
, him come within five or six feet of us be-
fore knocking him over. From his actions
there was no doubt he would have boldly
attacked the three of us had he been less
desperately wounded. His scalp was the
only one we saved out of the sixty or
seventy shot.
Not another wolf was seen until night
came down. Then they gathered around
us seemingly by the thousands. Looking
out from one of the small sliding doors
one "was reminded of a great drove of
sheep cantering over rough ground. Not
one of them was still for a minute, and a
free fight was always in order. Our house
stood six or seven feet high, but they
leaped over it back and forth as easily as
they could have cleared a log. At one .
time several Of them engaged in a fight
over our heads, and we had serious fears
of the roof breaking under their weight.
When we finally opened fire I honestly be-
licve there were 2,000 wolves Within pistol
shot. Our house was the center of a ch-
cle of leaping, how'lin'g,’fighting, growling,
yelping beasts, each one of which seemed
bent on getting nearer. It was a bright
moonlight night, and we did not Waste :1.
.shot. One could have shut his eyes and
been sure of killing or wounding at every
discharge. We limited our shots to twenty-
five each, and fired slowly, so as not to
beat our guns. I believe we killed 100
wolves with the seventy-five shots. If
one was wounded enough to cause a flow
of blood he was a goner. The unwounded
would tear him to pieces with even more
ferocity than they displayed toward the
dead. Soon after. we had 963.5311. gym
We let '
t
the great bilk‘ "6f” the wolves retired, to be
seen or heard no more during the night.
A few Who hadprobably failed to secures
share of the horrible feast remained in the
vicinity to growl ‘over the bloody bones
and utter an occasional howl, and after
midnight We slept soundly. We were
afterward told by peasants living eight or
ten miles away that packs of wolves
passed their farms at dusk on the way to
the general rendezvous. Some of those
surrounding our house probably came
twelve or fifteen miles. The keeper of the
hotel saw fifty or more pass his place, and
they were in such a‘ hurry and so occupied
with the project on foot that they passed
within twenty'feet of a stray colt without
halting to attack it.
On the second day of our stay we were
witnesses of a dreadful tragedy. It was
a cloudy day, with occasional snow
squalls, but no wolves came near us. At
about 2 o’clock, while my companions
were lying down, I opened a slide to take
a look over the highway toward Toblosky.
For four miles the highway was ovéra
plain, and one could see every moving ob-
ject. Then the roadwas lost in a pine
forest, which stretched along for a couple
of miles. I had scarcely pulled back the
slide when an object came in view in the
road at the edge of the forest, and in half
a minute I had made out horses. A
sledge was coming our way, the first
which had passed since we took up our
station. We had a pair of field glasses in
the car, and I had no sooner adjusted the
focus ‘ than I uttered a shout which
brought my companions to their feet.
There were three horses abreast, and
they were coming at a dead run, while
on both sides of the sledge I could
make out fierce wolves jumping up.
The team was a powerful one- and
coming very fast, and in a minute
more I made, out that the sledge was
surrounded bya great pack of wolves.
The driver was lashing the horses in a
frenzied way, while the smoke and flame
and faint reports proved that the occu-
pants of the sledge were using firearms to
defend themselves. We had two or three
minutes in which to act. Each of us had
the idea that the sledge would halt at our
car for protection, or that the people in it
would certainly leap out at that point.
We opened one of the doors, got down our
guns, and all were ready to leap out when
a dreadful sound reached our ears. It
was the shriek of a horse. I say shriek,
for it was nothing more nor less—a shriek
of terror and despair. The cause was
plain as we looked out. One of the horses
had fallen when the sledge was hardly
twenty rods away, and the other two had
been dragged down with him. We could
not see them, however, for the wolves.
We just caught sight of two or three
human figures in furs, heard the reports
of pistols and shouts of human voices, and
then the terrible din made by the wolves
drowned ,all other sounds. .
We should have sprung out and gone‘
to the assistance of the beset travelers,
but before we could move a. foot our car
was surrounded by wolves, anda monster
got his head and shoulders into the door-
way and hung there fora few seconds
despite the kicks from our heavy boots.
We opened the slides and looked out, but
all was over then. The carcasses of the
horses had been picked to the bone, the
harnesses eaten, and the robes from the
sledge were being torn apart as the wolves
raced around. W'e saw pieces of bloody
clothing scattered about, and we knew
that the travelers had met a horrible
fate. \Vc learned afterward that there
wore four men in the sledge.
The pack of wolves, which seemed to
be much larger than any which had yet
gathered, hung about until we knocked
over at least fifty of them, and then drew
off to return at midnight. \Ve kept our
position for nine days before the men
would come with the horses, and, al-
though we preserved ‘the scalps of only
three wolves, we estimated the number of
killed at over 800. We intended to put
in a week at another place, but with the
horses came that some government ofii-
cial, who gravely informed us that he
had been instructed by his superior officer
to inform us that our wolf hunt must
end. We were rendering the highways
dangerous to travelers by attracting the

BATTLE OF GRAVELOTTE.
Momentous struggle While the Issue Was"
in Suspense—Germany’s Victory.
“The first action of the Franco-German
war which Emperor William witnessed
was the colossal struggle of Gravelotte.
While Prince Frederick with the Third
army corps was striking hard at the
French right from Verneville to St. Marie-
au—Chene, King William remained all day
with the first army, which Steinmetzwas
hurling against the French left, holding
the woods and bare, sloping plateau of
Stubert. Late in the afternoon the fierce-
ness of the fighting and uncertainty of the
issue drew William right up to the edge of
the ravine between Gravelotte and the
plateau of Stubert. There he sat among
the soldiers, mounted on his black horse,
watching the fierce and all but futile ef-
forts made by the stout infantrymen of
Von Goben and Glumper to make head
against the hurricane of fire with which
the French swept the smooth, sloping
glacis which the expanse of the plateau
afforded.
“All of a sudden there ran through the
German combatants out in the paudemo-
uium of slaughter over against us a spasm
of panic, that impulse to which, in the
strain of excitement, the best troops are
liable.‘ Panic, like the fire on a prairie,
ran back across the ravine and caused a
momentary sauve qui pent among the un-
engaged troops about the king. Shells
came crushing into the dislocated ranks
and for a moment an outburst of disorder
had sway. William was borne back in
the pressure, remonstrat-ing vehemently
with uplifted voice and flat of sword.
Bismarck was said to have got out astride
a gun, and the royal staff was temporarily
broken up. The panic. was over in- a few
minutes and order restored, but the
French had strengthened their grip on the
plateau. '
“The issue of the battle was still in
suspense when, under the last rays of the
setting sun, the last reserve of Germans, -
the Second corps, came up at a double to
the ‘brink of the ravine. In the lurid
glare of the blazing village. King William
stood by the wayside and greeted his
stalwart Pomeraniahs. High over the
bicker of drums, the blare of" bugles and
the crash of cannon, rose an eager burst
of cheering as the soldiers greeted their
soldier soverign, and then followed their
chiefs down into the full depths of the ‘
terrible chasm. .
“The crisis was dreadful.
“As we watched the issue in a sort of
spasm of somber silence, the king sat
with his back against a wall on a plank,
one end of which rested on a shattered
gun carriage, the other on a dead horse.
“Bismarck, with an elaborate assump-
tion of indifference, made a pretense to be
reading letters. ‘
“The rOar of close battle swelled and
deepened till the very ground trembled
beneath us. .
“Night fell like a. pail, but the blaze of
the adjacent confiagration lit up the
anxious group there by the churchyard
wall. From out of a medley of broken
troops on the glittering slope in front
came suddenly a great shout which grew
in volume as it rolled nearer. Hoots of
galloping horses rattled on the causeway.
”A. moment later Field Marshal Von
Moltke, his face for once quivering with
excitement, sprang from the saddle and,
rushing toward the king, cried out:
“ ‘it is good for us! \Ve have won the
plateau and victory is-with your ma-
jcsty.’ ‘
“The king sprang to his feet, saying:
‘God be thankedl’
“Bismarck, with a deep sigh of relief, .
crushed his letters in the hollow of
his hand, and with a simultaneous
hurrah greeted the glad tidings. A sutler
who chanced to hear improved the occa-
sion in a practical, quiet‘vay. He brought
up a wine barrel and dispensed its con-
tents. King \Villiam-took a hearty drink
of the red wine out of a cracked tumbler,
- giving the ‘Gcrman Army’ for his toast.”

Strength of Iron Beams.
From tests made several years ago the
deduction was drawn that iron bars
scarcely bear the reiterated application of
one-third the breaking weight without in-
jury; that is, a comparatively light stress
repeatedly applied will break a bar of iron
with the same certainty as the single ap-
plication of a heavy stress. Hence pru-
dence requires that in manufacturing
beams they be made capable of bearing at
least six times the greatest weight that
could be laid upon them.—Globe-Demo-

INSURING THE SICK. _
WHAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY
BY VITAL STATISTICS. ‘
Can 8 Profit Be Made in Insuring Un-
healthy Lives—A Table of Comparative
ProbabllItles—‘l‘heoretlcol Expectations
of the Diseased.
The practice of the. life insurance .com-
panies in insuring only the best live! has
often been the subject of a grim .kind of
humor. “The people they insure,” it is
said, “are those who appear from a medi~
cal examination to stand in no need of in-
surance, while those who really do need
it cannot get it.” This is not altogether
true, of course. A good many of the
people who can successfully pass the medi-
cal examiners of the insurance companies
stand quite as much in need of insurance
as those who cannot pass, but it is cer-
tainly unfortunate that the latter, Who
certainly do stand in need of insurance,
are unable to get it. It is not only un-
fortunate, but seems to be a trifle unjust;
and the question is often seriously asked
why, when the insurance risks are based
on general mortality and not on the mor-
tality among selected lives, the insurance
companies should decline risks 'upon any
lives but the selected? .
The .answer is, probably, that the in-
surance companies are not doing business
on philanthropic principles—though their
solicitors would faiu persuade us to the
contrary—but to make money. But even
when the answer has been given the ques-'
tion may still be asked whether there is
not a profit .tobe made in insuring im-
paired lives.
'l‘llE UNHEALTHY LIFE.
An article in The American Exchange
and Review indicates the possibility that
this question may yet be answered in the
affirmative. It points out that while the
unhealthy life is, as a rule, in "greater
peril of death than the healthy one, the»
risk in the case of the former can, in all
probability, be determined with as much
accuracy and safety-as it can in the case
of the latter. This is certainly a reason-
able view. The number of years upon
which ahealthy man of 20, or 30 or 40,
or any other age, can reasonably expect
to live, has been ascertained by a careful
compilation of vital statistics. What is
to prevent the ascertainment, by a. like
careful compilation, of the age to which
an unhealthy or unsound man of 20,
or 40, or any other age, may expect to
live? 1;, . . . ‘ :' ' ‘
To a certain small extent, according to
the article referred to, this has been done
by the institute of Actuaries in London,
England, in constructing a table of com~
parative probabilities in the cases of
healthy and diseased lives. The figures,
though not at all conclusive. are very in-
li).000 hcalthy and 10,000 diseased lives,
.‘IJI'IIHg at the age (If 10. Singularly
enough, at the age of 20 the showing in
the case of the diseased lives is the better,
0,079 of them surviving against 9,554 of
the healthy lives. From that time for-
ward, however, the figures favor the
healthy lives in a gradually increasing
ratio. At 30 the survivors in the healthy
10,000 are 8,904 against 8,548 in the dis-
eased 10,000. At 00 the healthy side
shows 5,547 survivors, and the diseased
only 4,832. At 96‘they are nearly equal,
but the diseased lives have the advantage
by one, showing 26 against 25 of th
healthy lives. .
THEORETICAL EXPECTATIONS. '
The Exchange and Review concludes
its article with what it callsa table of
“theoretical expectations of diseased life,”
which might more appropriately be called
a hypothetical table, inasmuch as it is not
put forward as even apprdximately ac-
curate. It is useful, however, in the sug-
gestion it furnishes that a table may be
constructed sufficiently accurate for prac-
tical purposes. Whether any of the ex—
isting companies will take up the sugges-
tion is very doubtful. The best of them
are doing quite well enough on their
present basis not to be tempted to embark
in any new field, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that the werst of > them, which are
not doing well now, will not injure the
business of insuring impaired lives by
giving it a bad send off. it
A fortune, however, awaits the com-
pany, old or new, which shall, with sound
judgment and sumcient capital, enter
upon that business. While the price to
be charged would necessarily be higher
than in the case of healthy lives, the risk,
if the business were conducted on a sound
basis, would probably be nogreater. The
, cost would probably be less, especially in
the item of commissions or salaries to so-
licitors. If anything can positively be
predicted as to an utterly untried scheme,
it can be predicted that men of impaired
lives would need much less soliciting to
induce them to insure than the men of
healthy lives do.—Detroit Free Press.
Getting Things Somewhat Mixed.
A newly elected justice of the peace,
who had been used to drawing up deeds
and wills and little else, was called up to
marry a couple in haste. Removing his
hat he remarked: “Hats off in the pres-
ence of the court.” All being uncovered,
he proceeded: “Hold up yer right hand.
YOu, John Mankin, do yer solemnly
swear, to the best of yer knowledge an’
belief, that yer take this woman to have
an’ to hold for yerself, yer heirs, execy-
ters, administrators and assigns, for

“I do,” answered the groom, promptly.
“You, Alice Evans, take this year man

“I—I do," said the bride, doubtfully.
“\Vcll, that ’cr’s wuth a dollar 'n fifty

“Are we married?" asked the bride.
“Yes. Know all men by these presents

mind and disposition, in consideration of

AdvIcS’ From a Kindly Export.
When a young lady asked Miss Louisa
Alcott for advice as to earning a living by
literary work, she replied: , “I can only
letters of the' some sort which I receive.
One must wait and work long and
patiently before success of any sort comes,
and talent must be in the tales or they
won’t sell. If people won’t take the
stories try something else. For a young
woman with good health and a brave
heart many ways of earning a living are
open if she can put her pride in her pocket
and take whatever-comes, no matter how
humble the task may be. Nurse, teacher,
companion, housekeeper, seamstress or
servant are all honest trades and worth
trying while waiting for the more 'agree-
able work.
' “I tried them, and after grubbing for
twenty years made a hit, seemingly by
accident, but I could see how every hard
experience had helped, every sacrifice en-
riched, and so believe heartily in that sort
of training for us all. I do not know any-
one in Washington, and I think anything
better than the places women hold in
public offices there. If your stories are
good they will find a market; if they are
not, stop writing and try something else.
The gift is born with us and cannot be
learned, as some think. ”-New York Com

Italians no Counterfoltm.
“Why do Italians almost hold a monop-
oly in counterfeit coins!” was asked of a
treasury detective.
“There is not money enough in it for
natives. These latter want big money.
Besides, many Italians are expert at mak-
ing plaster of paris models, and they came
over to avoid detection in their own coun-
try, where, I believe, counterfeiting is
punished with death. Over here it is just
a matter of a year or two, and then when
they are in prison they are better fed than
when they are free, so that detection has
little terror for them. They are satisfied
with light profits, and seldom try to dis.
pose of more than a couple of dollars'
worth at a time among the small stand
and storekeepers.”—New York Telegram.

or more completely satisfactory life than
Louisa Alcott. But since we ought never
to be satisfied either with ourselves or
with anybody else, and since one of the
chief uses of the study of fine character
is to discover wherein it could be yet
finer, there is always a lesson to
of each career. The finest thought
ever expressed by Howells, I think, is
where he suggests that success itself= may
perhaps seem very much like failure, seen
nent persons, probably, so sunk in ‘concéit
that they could not afford to others cer-
tain warnings as well as examples from
their own achievements. ’_The:’obituhries
usually miss such warningh;,.indeed, they
are apt to turn expressly away-fittomthem
and think it a little ungenerous to draw
obituaries are as valueless as an inscrip-
tion on a monument, and, like that, re—
duce all character to a level of common-
place and conventional'virtue'. There are,
perhaps, but two pointsiof warning, or
' even of limitation, that need to be sug-
brllliant career, but each of these is of
some weight.” -’ '

been more than once‘polnted out in these
columns, and which. make. it often hard
for a really useful life to prolong itself.
, But I suspect there was another reason,
which seldom fails to'tell upon successful
authors. The late Mr. James T. Fields

autumn of 1861 to enlist a‘ rsgiment’for
the civil war, it occurred to him to invite
the celebrated John BgGongh to go'ns

and eloquence, although ‘he was note

out that ,Mr. Cough was, absolutely fet-
tered by his own large earnings and pro-
fuse charities, he could easily earn $50 or
$100 a day the year round by lecturing;
but all this large incomuwas mortgaged

the last lesson ever learned by writers
and artists to bc‘ wisely economical of
themselves, and to spare the sources from
which prosperity and usefulness too easily
fiow. . ,
The other lesson goes deeper. Miss Al-
cott’s intellectual work itself found a
limitation in its grade by reason of its
ready abundance. She had the ear of hér
public; she was, aswas said of her, “a
benefactor of households,” and perhaps
she did—it is impossible to prove the con-
trary—the very highest work of which
she was capable. But it was not very
high or very permanent; she never
equaled her first successful work of fic—
tion, and for the rest of her life, as in the
case of' Bret Harte, she simply repeated
the some few deline'ations. They were, of
course. more innocent and' healthful than
Harte’s, but they were as monotonous;
children, doubtless, continued to cry for
them, but no Inaturer reader—at least
none familiar with literature—cared to
keep the run of them. Her muse was do-
mestic, simple and sociable; the instinct
of art she never had. It is difilcult to
imagine . her as pondering a situation
curiously unlike Helen Jackson, who was
an artist by uatureand by- habit,.and who
was able to write “Ramona” ‘so‘rapidly

FACE TO FACE.
If my face could only promise that its color
would remain,
If my heart were only certain it would hide the
moment‘s pain, _
I Would meet you and would greet you in the old
familial tone, 5
And naught should ever show you the wrong that
you have done.
If my trembling hand were steady, if my smiles
had not all fied,
If'my eyes spoke not so plainly of the tears they
often shed,
I would meet you and would greet you at the old
sweet trysting place.
And perchunce you‘d deem me happy if you met
me face to face.

I would meet thee, and would greet thee, as years

Before our hearts were shipwrecked, on the ocean

If my woman's soul were stronger, if my heart
were not so true, -
I should long have ceased rcmcmberiug the love
I had for you;
But I dare not meet or greet .thec, in the old
familiar way,
Until we meet in heaven, when tears have passed
away.

After a Shopping Tour. '
“Kitty, I am glad to see you looking
What have you been do—
ing to regain your rosy cheeks and bright
eyes?" said a husband to his wife on his
return frombusiness the other evening.
“Ned, 1 hhve been'shopping, and I am
gang to tell you all about my rosy cheeks,
bright eyes and my shopping tour. You
think I am looking charming, yet the mo-
ment I mentioned shopping to you your
countenance changed, and you looked at
me as though shopping was a mild, kind
of crime. Now, don’t think that shop-
ping meahs buying, for many women
have not a dollar in their purses when
they go shopping. But no woman ever goes
on such a tour without getting rosy
cheeks and bright eyes. It is the ex-
citcmeut, fresh air and the change that
causes women to appear so pink and
charming afterward. ”
“But have women the assurance to go
through the stores taking up the time of
the sale'swomen and buying nothing?”
asked the husband.
“Oh. they don’t take up much time.
They simply look about, examine the new
materials and occasionally ask the price
of an article and sometimes get samples.”
“Do all who ask for samples procure
them?" was asked. .
“Well, the clerks use discrimination
about that. Th soon find out the shop—
pers who visit t it stores day after day
without purchasing. When any of this
class ask for samples the clerks answer,
.‘it is too late in the day to cut samples,’
or they have some other plausible excuse
ready. If the clerk is convinced that you
really intend making a purchase he is
usually patient and obliging. But there
is frequently as much excitement and
pleasure whether you buy or not.”—New
York Evening Sun.
Concerning ('omposito Photographs.
‘Dr. Bowditch, in a recent lecture on
”Composite Photography,” exhibited a
composite of sixteen naturalists, which
was said to so nearly resemble Agassiz as
to suggest that he was an approximation
of the typical naturalist. The composite-
of the Harvard class of 1887 is character-
ized as dark, dignified and brilliant; that
of the composite Bowdoin student as
sturdy, rugged and sensible. Composites
of college young men and college maidens
looked enough alike to seem those of
brother and sister.

posite of' the sweet girl graduate of
the Michigan university; but any one
who knows the quality of the beauty of
that the composite is superior to the pro-
duction of the east. The young man in

Central American Coast Traffic.
Most of the coastwise traffic, the carry-

These are no more than canoes, hollowed

The Gray Hair Puller.
Possibly the most unique method of
carningaliving known_is that adopted
by a big, rosy, 20~year-old ,blonde, who

out, so to speak, those obnoxious remind-
ers of advancing years. The gray hair

vals of' a few weeks, spending from half
an hour to two or three hours, letting
down the hair, combing it out and spying
for' telltale silver threads. She, carries
an innocent looking little reticule, which
contains various glycerino and rose water
preparations for a healing application
when the work of torture has been done.
It is not especially disagreeable work, and
it is said to pay—Kansas City Journal.
A Sadly Over-worked Word. 5
The word “funny” is sadly overworked.
Just listen to the. innumerable multitude
of men and women who use it on all pos-
sible occasions. Relate fathom the last
minstrel joke, the particulars of a great
flood in Chinav or some pathetic story of
destitution and death, and their only re-
mark is: “Well, isu’t that funny?" The
other day a. gentleman walking down
Broadway caught up with an acquaint-
ance, to whom be related the tragic death
of a mother and daughter in tWO different
railroad accidents on the same day and at
nearly the same hour. And all the reply
that the human I: could make was:
“You don’t say; wasn't that funny?”—
