His First Sale.
The first day of Arthur’s introduction
to tho carpet department of Mastodon &
Co. was spent in quietly walking among
tho busy throng of bnyors and Bcllora,
and in observing tho ways of tho sales
men in showing goods and perforoe ba
toning to their stylo of talking to cus
tomers.
"Madam, with your good taste, and
my superior judgment combined, you
cannot fail to select a carpet, evon were
it for parties that own their own house,”
siud one snlcsmnn to his customer, an
Arthur quietly passed him.
"Well, it’s not too light, and yet not
too dark,” said another.
The climax of strange, but no doubt
convincing, remarks was reached by u
very short, very stout and very red-
fnced salesman, who, huviiig been raised
from a porter to his present position wns
extremely anxious to sell to every cus
tomer he handled.
"Mmn,” said he, as ho bent down to
•peak with convincing emphasis into her
left ear—"mum, if you think you can
get the best Hingrain carpet for seventy-
live cents a yard, you’ll find yourself
sucked in.”
It is needless to say the lady was con
vinced, and instantly decided to pay one
dollar per yard for what she foolishly
thought slio could purchase elsewhere
for three-quarters of the sum.
Interested in tliis strange specimen o{
a metropolitan salesman, Arthur lingered
behind a pile of goods for futher infor
mation.
‘Mr. Herty," tho lady said, "I’m sick.
I’ve got a sudden pain at my henrt.”
'Pains at ’arts is bud things, mum,’
replied the little fat man, "but I’ll fetch
yer somo brandy."
‘Thanks, Mr. Herty, I fear I need it,”
she replied, and after giving him fifty
cnils to purchase it with, she waved the
gallant little mau away.
Mr. Herty rushed down stairs, to the
head manager and cxcluimcd:
"Mister Bull, a lady has fainted away
and I’ve got to fetch her some brandy.”
“All right, Sam,” said tho manager,
addressing him by the familiar Christian
name by which he was so well known
alien he wns a porter, and he told him
he had better run.
Presently Mr. Herty’s rubicund face
reappeared on tho carpet floor with a
large goblet of brandy. He evidently
know where to get the most for the
money, and could not possibly have
thought that tho lady would drink at all.
After thanking him for his kindness, she
drank fully half of it, and handed it
back to him.
" ’Ave you ’ad enough, mum ?” said ho,
smiling beneficently upon his fair cus
tomer.
‘‘Oh, yes,” said she, coughing, "Ifeel
much better now. I think I should have
died, but for your kindness.”
"I shall drink thismeself, mum,” said
he, “I’m afeerd the cash boys might get
hold of it, aud it might do ’em harm.”
"Certainly, sir,” replied tho 1-dy,
blushing, and Mr. Herty, looking care
fully round the floor to see that the man
ager was not in sight, serenely finished
what was left. ft*
When one half of the siuesmen wort
out at lunch, Arthur had to wait upon
his first customer. A very refined, wei
dressed, and pleasant-lookiug
stepped out of the elevator, aud the!
was no one else to receive her, Arthur
walked up to her.
"What canlshow yon, please, madam?”
suid he.
"I want to see Mr. Shady,” she re
plied.
‘‘He’s just gone to his lunch, madam,”
(aid Arthur.
“Is that so? Wall, I suppose you’ll
do. He always shows me, but it’s no
matter. Show me a drugget. ”
Arthur showed her druggets aud drug
gets, and when he had shown her all he
had, then he commenced again. At
last she seemed to take a fancy to one
which he bad said was a very good one,
At Mi is critical period Mr. Shady sud
denly appeared on tho scene.
“Ah, Mrs. Jones, how do?” said he,
addressing the lady, nnd completely ig
noring his new friend.
"Oli, Mr. Shady, I'm so glad you’ve
eon e. This young man does reni well,
but T like you best, you know ’’
f ***** *
Arthur now mado up his mind, that
l>of( ro his first day was over, ho would
mal e n sale of some kind. It wns one
of tilose early spring days when trade is
d- kle, nnd as tho afternoon progressed
•nslomeiK boenino rather scarce who
wanted carpets, although on the two
lower floors business seemed to ho in full
blast.
Ajt lmr was left alouo at tho elevator,
and ho watolied it anxiously ns it slowly
left tho second floor, and at last depos
ited its lond at his feet iu the shnpo of
one Solitary customer,
"fi’onng man," said she—and she was
long nnd gaunt, nnd her eyo was com
manding—"I want to mnteh a carpet,
It wns bought Romo twenty-seven years
igo. It had a plum-colored ground,-
with hokays, rod, green, yellow, blew,
mil n little white, with little sprays of
llowtrs mixed between, and—” here she
gave a wide, sweeping kind of flourish
with her right hand—"hero thero was a
large blew horn."
"Madam, we havo not got it.”
"Eh I"
"We have not got it.”
"Wlmt, not got it? Look 1”
"It’s no use looking, madam "
"It ain’t, oh? Where’s tho superin
tendent?”
Arthur was obliged to call tho little
llery man who had spokou to him in tho
morning.
"Well, Bentley, Iiow’h this? Lady
wants to match a carpet. Why don’t
you find it ?”
"Mr. VanTwiller, she says she bought
it twenty-seven yenrs ago," replied
Arthur, confident that mentioning this
fuot vould explain tho reasoti of his pos
itive assertion that they had noue left.
“Como this way, madam,” said the
siipciintcndent, as ho led tho way to tho
body BhibboIh department, followed by
the Dug nnd gnunt femalo with deter-
-uineji strides, nnd ut a FitUr- rtistnn.eeTry
Arthur, who wns crimson with mortifica
tion aud chagrin.
"Tom,” said Mr. Van Twillor to a
porter, "how much have you got of
4-11-44?”
"Four pieces, hit,” replied Tom.
“There’s three down iu the sub-base
ment wot’s nover boon taken out o’
wrappers, and tho piece up ’cro.”
"flow lopg have we had it, Tom?”
said the little man.
"I don’t know, sir," said Tom. "It
wns ’ere when I came, nnd I’ve been ’ere
going on twenty years.”
Mr. Yan Twillor looked at Arthur se
verely, nnd said:
"You perhaps won’t be bo confident in
future, sir;” and calling Mr. Shady, told
him to take tho lady’s order.
Arthur walked back to his stand at
tho elevator; pondering os he went on
the mysterious resources of largo houses,
and the mean tricks of men "dressed in
a little brief authority.”
As the afternoon waned and most of
the salesmen wero at their several desks
entering up tho day’s orders, Arthur
espied a plain, comfortable German wo
man slowly toiling across tho floor, fol
lowed by a rheumatic spitz dog of fault
less white and defiant eye.
1 Havo yon got some strong ingrain
carpet at fifty cents a yard ?”
"Yes, mnm,” said Arthur, with en
ergy, "step this way.” He hod noticed
where they were kept, and seizing a full
piece, tightly rolled nnd very solid, lie
gave it a tremendous roll ns ho put it on
tho floor, but seeing that it had a olenr
course before it, and would go too far,
ho gavo it a turn, so that it would bo
■<topped iu its mnd career by somo goods
immediately iu front. Tho carpet being
very thin, tho sudden jerk ho gave it,
caused it to rip right across, and lie
stood transfixed with three yards of cot
ton ingrain waving in his hand like the
mournful banner of somo lost cause.
ITio spitz barked furiously, and the hon
est German woman gavo him one look,
oid turned to go as she said:
I don’t vant some of dot.”
thur stood and watched her retreat-
g form as it disappeared down the
-lairs, and then was roused to a sense ol
'-is ludicrous position by healing tin
ouothered laughs of the different sales
men and porters who had been delighted

The Jersey Waist.
THE LIME-KILN CLUB.
Many a young lady, Harper'» Bazar
tells uh, finds tho Jersey waist Incoming
to her, aud seven of tlioso waists com
plete the dresses of her summer outfit.
There is a jotted silk Jersey to wear with
black Hkirts; one of pnlebluo wool for
a striped wool dress that shows blue,
olive, roee, and cream-color in the stripes;
a beaded scarlet Jersey for white, red,
and black dresses; a brown wool Jersey
that forms tho waist to her traveling
dress that lias chocked wool skirts; an
ecru Jersey for pongee skirts; nuothor of
white wool to wear with blue and white
flnnnol skirts in tho country; nnd still
another of white silk with crystal bead
ing to wear with evening dresses. Binoe
tho Jersey has been deprived of its sennt
look nnd improved in shnpo by American
modistes, who have added n oollar, cuff’s,
pleatingH at tho back, and sometimes a
narrow vest, it has become both a
popular and n fashionable garment.
Thoso Jerseys made with sewed
seams, forming a French Imck with
somo pleats in tho middle seam, aro
preferred for slouder figures, while
I hose woven iu the plain Jersey shape are
liked for larger women. They are mode
without darts, and tho single-breasted
fronts havo an English collar notched
like the collar of a gentleman’s morning
coat, and above this is a high standing
oollar. Bmnll cuffs are turned back on
the sloeves and hemmed, and there are
curved slits for pockets on each side.
Modistes make a waist like Huh as a part
of a suit and attach it permanently tc
(lie lower skirt, or else thero iB a sosli
like that of the lower skirt sewod on the
edge of tho Jersey; this style is liked for
voung ladies aud school girls. Older
ladies havo tho Jersey represent an ont-
sido basque simply hemmed on the
edges, and finished in the hack with a
ribbon bow nnd loops over the pleating,
or to make the back bouffant when
there is no pleating. When the webbing

set cover if tightly drawn over it, hence

An amusing anecdote has just been
told by the famous naturalist Brehm, in
a lecture on Siberia. A few weeks ago,
an inhabitant of the village of Tomski
Sovod went iu his wagon to a neighbor
ing wood to pick up some sweet pine
apple kernels. His wagon waa already
more than half full, when the peasant,
coming hack to it with a new load, saw
in the middlo of it a largo bear, devour
ing with undisguised satisfaction the
fruit, of which his race is exceedingly
fond. "Hu liottl” cried tho terrified
man to his horse. Off, of oonrse, went
tho horse, the more so that, although he
hod not seen tho liear, he had peroeived
its presence by the sense of smell. But
the bear himsolf was the most frightened
of tho throe, and liegon to howl lament-
nbly. This made the horse speed awny
nil the faster. #
It being confirmation day, the authori
ties aud all tho people were standing at
the village limits, waiting for the arrival
of the Bishop. On a signal given by a
boy who, from the steeple, had seen the
cloud of dust raised by the peasant’s
wagon, tho ohuroh bolls rang joyously,
nnd all the throng of people struok up
the hymn, "Gospodine pomiiif.” Judge
of their astonishment, when, as the
wagon rushed into the village, instead of
ttie Bishop, they saw the miserable bear
tumbling on all sides with the jolting ol
the wagon, and howling as often as he
could get breath enough to do so.
Mayor, Aldermen, priest, choir boys,
and peasants fled in all directions, and a
few minutes later the wagon having
been overturned, the bear limped back
to his native forest.
The well-known Englishman, Lord
Dunraven, who had been in this country,
tells a good story of tho guide whom he
had employed to take him shooting out
on the plains. After his trip, with which
ho was well pleased, he engaged the
guide to perform the same service for
another British nobleman, whom Lord
I), kr.ew, and who he wanted to have a
satisfactory trip. After his first conver
sation with the new hunter, the guide
sought out his noble employer and ob
served: "Say, Mr. Earl, I will take that
man because I agrefed to, but I am going
to charge him a dollar a day more than
1 did you. I never saw a man put on so
much side."

Every member of the dub seemed to
feci that something nnnsual was about
to oocur. The President and Giveadam
Jones were observed consul ting a dream-
book in the most careful manner; Way-
down Becltee opened a new Iwttle of red
ink with much formality; Samuel Bhin
walked around with his hands in his
pockets and his left eye drawn down;
Prof. Blngger Oatosh wiped his brow
with ono hand and patted Shindig Wat
kins on tho hack with tho other; and all
in all even Oordnroy Taylor andJUder
Toots couldn’t help but realise that the
usual routine of events was to be Biter-
rupted. At Iength the President nodded
to the Janitor to sound the triangle, and
when tho meeting had been deoiared
opened, ho arose and read the following
communication:
Boston Mass., 1888.
Brother Gardner— Harvard College
lias refused to give Gov. Ben Butler a
title. Can't your club do something for
him in this direction ? Any honors that
you may bestow will be heartily appre
ciated by him and his
Many Friends.
"Gem’len,” added the old man as he
laid the document aside, "we will con
sider do qneshun as befo’ de boos#, an'
I should like a gineral spresknn of opin-
yun."
Sir Isaac Walpole had heard a good
deal aboat Ben Butler. Three or four
years ago he considered him a tough
esse, bat of late there were strong rea
sons to hope for reformation, and he
was in favor of encouraging him with a
title.
Hon. John Mulcher, didn't know mnch
about the man, bnt if a title would im
prove the looks of his wood-outs in the
illustrated papors he should vote for s
title.
Elders Bmitb, Wilson, Davis and Wat
son were each in favor of a title.
Judges Cadaver, Gahoots, Orampton
and Joaea wanted to know if Ben Butler
hod ever founded a Colored orphan asy
lum or gone bail for a colored man
charged with stealing a mole ?
Almost every member had inquiries to
make or suggestions to offer, bnt when
the matter was put to vote it was de
cided to grant a title.
"Den de qneshun aroses what title to
gin him ?” said the President. "LL. D.
may mean a Doctor of Divinity, or a
doctor who doan know a case of measles
from smali-pox. Besides, it’s cheap.
N. B., or O. K., or P. 8., or N. G., am
common titles dat any man kin haul in
wid a fish line from any wharf. If Gub-
nor Butler has turned to die club in an
airnest manner, ns I believe he has, we
must not disappoint him. We mus’ gin
him a title and a legend combined. 1
shall now proceed to crown him wid
D. 8. O. A. L. W. Y. G. T. & L O.,
which btends for: 'Doan' Sot On A
Limb When Yon Go To Saw It Off!’ 1
not only believe the title will be heartily
accepted an’ highly appreciated, bat I
shall draw on the Gnb’ner for 83 to pay
fur de bar’l o’ lemonade which now
stands in de ante-room to honor dis ooca-
shnn. We will now take a recess oi
seben minits to pay our respects to de
aforesaid beverage, an as dar* am onij
one dipper I’ll start fast.”
City boarder to farm-hand: "Why
does that odd-looking fowl make that
curious noise ?” "That rooster that jest
crowed? Oh, that’s jests way he has,
ma’am, of signifyin’ that he’s a high
flyer from up the creek, and can lick all
1 creation, and that he is happy because
he ain’t old enough by eleven years to
make a pot-pie for summer boarders,-.
I Middletown Traneoript,
Cholera’s Threatened Advance.
The latest advices from the East leave
no room to doubt that the cholera epi
demic will soon extend its ravages be
yond the Meditcrraenan- The necessity
for taking extraordinary precautions
against its westward spread has been
recognized by all the interested govern
ments except the English, thoagb Eng
lish ports are most exposed to the im
portation of the plague. Should it
break out as an epidemio in Great Bri
tain the difficulty of keeping it out of
the United States would be very great,
though it may be hoped we should ea-
cape this year. "The probability that
the disease will gain a lodgement in tbs
United Suites this summer,” the Medical
Journal thinks, "is exceedingly ■maU."
As a general role, this journal aaya, oui
cholera epidemics have begun in yean
following a European prevalence, "to
that it is rather for next year than thii
that the contingency of an inroad of
cholera into Europe should excite un
