Why Apprentices Are Scarce.
A contemporary writer says it is
principally weak because of the conceit of
and foolish parents who could
not think of allowing their boys to soil
their hands with manual labor or tarn¬
ish their pedigree by associating with
cwnmon workmen. have I known Many whose and many apti¬ a
young tudes called man

ous demands of instinct to learn a
trade, but he was prevented from doin<?
so by his parents, who preferred to see
him filling the more important and
ing dignified position of clerk, often work¬
fifteen hours a day for $15 per
month, and sometimes yielding to the
small temptation to leave unpaid his
tailor’s and washerwoman’s bills. Or
if he escapes the clerkship he was al

in mechanical trades, but the folly of

get hold of a boy who has but few or

for a trade, but he can probably make
more money at that than at common

have to do the best we can. There is

The New York correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution tells something
about a dude" clothing store :
We worship that which is expensive.
I was reminded of this forcibly by a
iirm which has won its way to the top
rank in its own particular line by un
blushingly and shamlessly overcharging
for themselves everything they sell. They describe
as “haberdashers,” and
keep what is known in tho vulgar par¬
lance of the day as a “gents’ furnish¬
ing goods” establishment. store. They have a
superb It is the size of
two stores ; is fitted in polished mahog¬
any from floor to ceiling, and tilled
with a small army of snobbish clerks.
A page in livery opens the door for
those who enter, and they bever allow
a eustomor to take any article home
himself. If it is only a neck-scarf they
will send it to him, though he lives five
miles away. They have two delivery
vans for that purpose, driven by uni¬
formed coachmen with flunkies by their
sides to deliver the goods. Altogether,
tho style of the establishment is stun¬
ning. The prices are so high that men
of modest means do not buy there.
This is entirely to their satisfaction, a3
they do not want that kind of custom.
Nothing regular in their shop can be bought at
the prices. Collars, for in¬
stance, which sell usually at 25 cents,
are 50 cents there ; and they charge 80
cents a pair for cuffs that are elsewhere
35 to 40. It is impossible to buy any
sort of a scarf or necktie for less than
$2, and the prices for smoking-jackets,
bath-robes, and articles of that sort
are positively $28 enormous. They de¬

“I want some shirts,” said my friend.
“Will you be kind enough to step

his hands together and walked
down the store.
The customer followed until they ar¬
rived at the office in the rear. There
tho clerk was met by a member of the

ished at so much ceremony, was asked
with great politeness to step up-stairs,

bread shall be sold by tho pound, and
that scales for the purpose of weighing

court life of the late Lucas Hirst. Mr.
Hirst, one of the ablest pleaders at the
bar, was also noted as a man who tool*
advantage of every circumstance in
favor of his client. Eight years ago he
was retained to defend iu an action of
debt a retail grocer who had obtained
hundreds of dollars’ worth of bread
from a baker and then refused to pay
the bill. In due time the suit came up
for trial. Tho baker was represented
by a conceited young lay wor, who would
not deign to notice tho presence ot
Hirst. He proved the ease completely, asked
and then rested. Mr. Hirst had
the plaintiff but one question, and that
was if he had not sold all the bread by
the loaf, : to which ho answered in the
affirmative,
“Have you any defense to offer?”
asked the judge, addressing the counsel
for the defendant,
‘T need none under tho law,” re¬
plied Hirst coolly,

idea that you I have will find charged yourself tho without jury,”
