THE rOREMAH 0* THE 8H0P. Wfeat He Hh»iM bH what lie Skeill Net Be. Tho position of foreman of a shop or boss of a gang of workmen demands aa ita object the taming oat of a fair amount of good work. Some fill one portion of this demand and otbeni the other portion; hut it ia only the man ager of men who Alla both. Employers are sometimes at fault in demanding from foremen the largest possible amount of work in a given time, always prodding and pushing, grumbling t>ceauae a job occupied more time than they expected, and picking up every trifling interruption aa a direct attempt at imposition. If a foreman ia honor able and sensitive he will not Itear this nagging, and so in shops ruled by sueh a proprietor changes of foremen are fre quent. One anch instance occurs to mind jnst now of a proprietor of a very thriving business, requiring the servioes of nearly a hundred good workmen, be sides apprentices, who had lost three foremen within two years, either by res ignation or dismissal. "Can you rec ommend a good foremnn ?" he inquired. “You havo an erocllent man for the plaoe now in your shop," was answered, naming him. “Oh, lie’ll never do; ho'a one of tho men himself. I want a driver and he ought to be a stranger." Tho imsition of foreman in that establish ment ia periodically vacant, and a stranger who enn bring fair recommen dations and lias the qualiAcations of a “drivor" can generally have assurances of a position, oven if lie lias to wait a short time for his predecessor's shoos. And yet this proprietor is in no usual souse “a hard man;” ho simply has a wrong idea of the duty of a foreman. His idea) foreman is a mechanical blus terer, who stirs up ey c lones in tho shop, produces an atmosphere of goncral un easiness and “mnkos the men lion round lively," as lie onoo remarked. Tho workmen make trouble for every new foreman, and his “life is not a hi one." There' are, however, Borne foremen who are instructors rather than mana gers of men. Under their rule moro time is si>ent in tho details of work, in correcting errors, in “doing over,” than should be required to complete tho job. The scrap heap, under their man agement, grows to enormous propor tional .every slight error in work and ovcr/wHgld mistake in apprehension of an order makes another accretion to tho growing pile. Under suoh foremen tho workmen never learn economy of time or of material. A truly capacitated foreman is a pos sibility, and his portrait is drawn from nc fancy skotcii. In the establishment where bo is a manager a strike has not occurred since it had an existence— twenty-five yonrs. Probably thcro are many like him, and his ]K>rtrnit may stand lor those of others. Although ho is generally os exact ns the workmen ns to "bell hour,” there is no stir nmong thorn if lie is lute nnd no letting down of attention when ho goes out. Ha assumes a part of every ,■-job"and does it, wonring his honorable overalls like his moil. Ho is not nfrntd of u loss of dignity or n relaxation of authority by addressing his men famil iarly. Ho Buffers no diminution of well earned superiority in asking advice of some of Ins moro experienced men. If one of his men "runs against a sung," lie goes at once to his foremnn, who cither knows whnt .to do or has some proper nnd timely suggestion to make, lie contrives to have his men interested in tho work (rom inoipienoy to finish, nnd whsu one of them shows hearty in- terAst in tho wot* and turns ont a good job lie is told of it in plain words thnt cheer hii heart, instead of lieing re warded.with a grumpy “That'll do.”— Scientific American. happy The Slaughter of the Annamltes. A description 9f ( tlie fall of Hue, tho capital of- Aunam, is published. The report is by a French officer, an eye witness of tho slaughter of tjie oon- quertd nnd cooped-tip Annnmites. “The beaten Annnmites were cooped up in tho burning village,” says this lurid sketch. "The only road of cscapo lny under tho gnus of the fori. Wo saw them halting at the end of tho village with singed garments. Then tho poor hulplcss creatures rushed under tho Fronoh Arc. A great battery then com menced. Two volleys wore fired. It was quite a tront to Bee theso fan-like streams ol bullets swcopiug down upon tho fugitives. They wero ponred in twieo in one minute at tho word of com mand, nnd in a sure methodical manner. It wus like a jet from a lingo watering- pot, which mowed them down by doz ens. In a cloud of dust and gravel, contmnes this Aoroo report, wo could see iffime whosi enud to be driven mod, pickiafe thtoiselves up, limping now ono way, now nnothcr, like wounded uni- mnls. Onthering'ui) their rolies in a comical manner, their long hair unfits t- enyn o«<l streaming down their backs, made (nom look like women. «4}ur men continued to kill them all the same when they came up to breathe like souls. The men then amused them selves oounting the dead—fifty on the left, eighty on the right. In tiro village were-small heaps. With those killed in tho southern forts about eight hundred or a thousand must have been disposed of. After nil this massacre hnd conclud ed, and ‘the route of the Annnmites was complete,’ tho French sailors were Aerccly hunting after the wounded nnd helpless Auunmites. Home were crouch ing in holes, others feigning death whilo others at the last gasn wero stretching out thoil lands pleading for mercy and shouting ‘Han, Han!’ in heartrending accents. Our men slaught ered them with bayonets or brained them with llio butt ends of their mus kets.” Plantation Pleasantiuks -Dere’s a limit to poverty in dis country. No man gits too po’ tor keep a dog.

Ilaw New York City Looked After It wna Turned ever to Wnahlncton fey the British. Tho nppoaranco of tho town nt tho time of its restoration to liberty and peace at tho end of tho Revolutionary War, is desetibed by ono who saw it, ns the most dcsolnte and gloomy imagin able. Beginning nt tho foot of Broad way, there stood tho old fort with its dismounted camion lying under the walls over which they hod apparently been toppled by the British soldiers in tlio wantonness or haste of theif departure. In tho Bowling flrcen'wns still seen tho pcdcBtnl from which tho leaden imago of George III. hod been hurled on tho re ceipt of tho news of the Declaration of Independence. Immediately above this point began tho burned district, extend ing up I Kith sides of Broadway to Rec tor street, except some half dozen houses left standing near the Battery. l'c tho east of Broadway, ns far os Broad stroet and up to Denver street, all was a henp of ruins, whilo on tho west side oil was swept nwny except St. Paul’s Clinrch and a few buildings beyond the compact part of tho oity aa it was nt that, time. Opposite Ht. Paul's wero several dwell ings of tho better elnss. From this point tho fields wero oik-ii to the north ns fnr as n lino ranging enstirnrdly from Warren Htrcot, where the prospect wns bounded by a row of moro useful than nrnnmentnl public buildingn—the bride well, tho Poor-house, tho jail nnd tho gallows. Toward tho west thoro was nothing to obstruot tho view of tho North river but a few low houses nnd tho half ruined buildings of Columbia Col- logo. No visible attempt had lioeii made since tho Are to remove tho ruins, and ns many of the odilloos destroyed wero of brick, the skeletons of tho wnlls east their grim shadows upon the pavements, imparting nn unearthly aspect to tho streets. Tho semicircular front of Trinity Church still reared its ghastly form anil seemod to deepen whilo it hallowed the solitude of tho surrounding graves. Turning from theso ruins, Wall street presented some of tho aspects of a living city. There stood tho ruined shell of tho old Presbyterian Church/ At the lieud of Broad street was tho old City Hall, in all its primitive nakedness. At this time, and until it was fitted up for the use of tho federal government, tills building stood upon brick arches, {wrmltting a passage from street to street underneath. Above Wall street, toward tho Cornmou, lay tho best p r- tion of tho oity, the residences of tho upper classes, though even upon theso tho hand of tho destroyer hnd made deep nnd broad impressions. Tlio churches wore ruined and dilapidated shells; tho shops nnd stores wero few nnd poorly stocked, and tho old sugar house, no longer vocal with groans and uxeoratimm, frowned dismally on the surrounding desolation. Nor wns tlio ruin of tlio material city greater than thnt of its social institutions nnd pecuni ary resources. Tlio resident population wns less by moro tlinn oue-linlf than be fore tho war, though, after tho restora tion of peace many of tlio exiled fami lies returned to their former habitations, commerce was completely auilhiJutcd and all industrial pursuits mill social and re ligions observances greatly depressed, the revenues of the city were of cuiirsu ill a ruinous condition, ns neither rents nor taxes hiul been collected in ninny years. The old landmarks were in many eases entirely effaced and often no avail able moans remained for determining tlio lioundiirirn of estates. Thu books of publio records had in many cases been destroyed or onrriod off bv tlio former royal officers, civil and military. -J/crahl. Why Clillvers Didn't. As the three of us r'odo out from Wa terproof, La., on liorsebnok, wo overtook a citizen jogging along ns if nt penco with tlio world. No introductions wero needed, and presently wo Were chatting away on tho most familiar terms.' After awhile, nnd when about six miles from tlio town, wo mot a man on horseback who had a shotgun lying across his lap and a rovolver on his hip. “Morning, gents," lie said, ns we drew rein. “How far is it to town ?” "dix milos," answered our stranger. "And mouglit you bo acquainted in Waterproof ?” “A few." “Mouglit yon know n chap ns is named Oliilvors—Jedgo Oliilvers ?" "Wall. I’ve scon him around." “Likely to be tiinr’ now?" "I should say so.” “That’s all; good-bye." We watched him out of sight, and then one of the mon said to the stranger: “That olinp had n wicked look,” “Oh, he’s on tho shoot, lio is.” "Is ho going to shoot Cliilvera ?" “Ho thinks he is, hut lie won't.” "Why?" “Boc-hibb I'm .Chilvors myself I Per mit mo to introduce myself.” “And why didn’t you toll him who you was nnd boo whnt lie wanted ?" ' “Thnt would have brought on the shooting and somo of you would have lieen hit," he answered. “I rather sus pect he’s a olinp from up tlio eointry about 80 miles whoso brother I shot in a little frnens last yoar. If it's tlio man, lie’s a terrible poor shot, nnd if one of them nr’ bosses of yonr’n should get hit you’d have to pay all damages.” "But won’t lie waylay you on the way back?” “No, Bir. I shall waylay him 1” Thnt evening, 1111 hour nflor our re turn, tho Judge led his limping horse into town, nnd when asked what the trouble wus ho replied: “It’s enough to disgust every decent mnn I That fellow hud live square shots tit me, and yet he must go mul put n bullet in an nnimal worth $200.” How the other party came out we didu’t inquire. Tiie Judge didn’t act like a mnn who would answer lending questions until ho knew whether the horse conld be saved.—M. Qr ad.

Newcomers in tho city of Mexico are surprised on finding so many of tlio con veniences common to largo cities at homo, siicli ns tlio telephone, the elec tric light, a police force, and an excel lent street car service. The electric lights are on the tops of iron rods run ning up from tiie gas inmp posts. The police nro far more soldierly than the regular army of tho country. They wear a bluo flannel suit, tho coat but toned up, ami their cap has a covering of white, whioh, with the standing linen collar, is always immaculate. In their belts on one side they carry a club and mi the oilier a Inrgo revolver. If one wishes to sec a policeman he has only to go to the nearest corner, and he will surely find him standing there, for lie has no bent to walk over.

It is as important to keep the inside of a piano cleaned as it is the ontside. This can be done with a feather dnster— one with long, flexible feathers. By ivorkin^this properly yon oan ennse the leathers to pass through the strings on Hie board. In dusting n square piano, brash the dust to the right hand; in a grand, to- ivnrd tlio small end. A still better way is to pass a soft cloth under the strings, with a thiu strip of whalebone or other flexible material. No sharp instrument should be used for this purpose. In do ing this, all undue pressure on the strings should he avoided, as this would put the piano out of tone. It ia well to clean the inside of a piano just before having it tnned, as tnner* object to do this, it being no part of their business. In dusting be carefnl not to scratoh tho sounding board. An ordinary feather duster oan be need for the iron frame, timing pins, eto. A bel lows may be used with advantage when tho dust is not thick. A piano may be kept free from dnst by using the bellows once n week. Always avoid blowing the dust into tiie action of the piano as much ns possible.
