Next to tlie I,invent lllddcr,
"Said contract to go to tlio next to
the lowest bidder" Is tlio way that a
local building contractor would linve
the closing sentence rend In advertise
ments for bids oti any pnnloulnr Job.
While speaking of tbe matter recently
tbls same contractor said that If tbo
Tlie neat Akc Foe Bleu to Marry.
Edward Bok,Mvrltlng In The Ladles’
Home Journal on “A Boy For a Hus
band,” contends tbat “no young man
under 25 years of ngo Is In any sense
competent to take Unto Idmself a wife.
Before that ago be Is simply a boy who
bns absolutely nothing whlcb ho can
truth were known nine out of ton of l.ofTer to a girl as a safe fundatlon for
tbo lowest bids made are made through
a mlstnke In the calculations of tlio
bidder.
“If tbe contractor who gets tbo Job
was aware that bis bid Is oftentimes
$1,000 below that of the one next above
him, and tbls on n comparatively small
Job, bo would Immediately Institute a
Bcarch and find where lie bad made
tbe mistake, thus having an opportu
nity of falling to qualify to complete
tbe Job. This privilege Is often denied
the bidder,, however, and ho gets well
along with his work before the fact
dawns upon him that be Is an a losing
venture. It Is then too late to go back
on the Job, and tbe result Is thnt the
party who Is doing the building nnd
tbo contractors also nre losers, nnd tills
because of the natural Inclination of
tbe contractor to shirk In order not to
lose any more than bo Is absolutely
obliged to In order to got out on the
bail dcnl,
“These mistakes arc not only disas
trous to the parties Immediately con
cerned, but to tbo trnilo In general, as
by the error of tbe unlucky bidder nn-
other worthy contractor Is imiible to
get tlio work at reasonable llgures.
Give the work to the next to the low
est bidder, I believe to be n good gen
eral rule.”—Oinatm World-Herald.
Ills Only Conundrum.
Tbo old pilot of tlie little steamer
Maid of the Mist, which i|scd tif carry
passcngei'H quite up to the foot of the
fnlls of Niagara until tlie mlsi from the
falling waters drenched the clothing of
every one on board, used to perpetuate
one solitary conundrum each trip. It
always commenced and euded tlio
same.
Moving bis baud along tbo sides uf
(lie pilothouse and examining tbo wood
work minutely, lie would look up mys
teriously ami remark:
"I say, stranger, do you know what
this boat Is made of?”
"Made of) Why, pine and ouk, Isn't
she 7"
"No, sir.”
“Hemlock?”
“No."
“’Tlsn't cedar, Is It?”
“Oh, no!"
And then the old pilot's eyes twin
kled nnd bis mouth whistled a crazy
tunc.
"Well, Iron perhaps?”
."No."
"Wbnt In thunder Is she made of.
then?"
"She’s Maid of the Mist, stranger:
Maid of tbe Mist."
Then tbo pilot accepted Ills -lornlng
dgnr.
II. Wnn Very Chnrltnlile.
An amusing story Is told In,connec
tion with a swell bazaar held a short
time ngo. Among tbe fentures of the
entertainment was n refreshment stall,
to which charitable donors contributed
supplies, thus enabling all tbe takings
to represent clear profits.
The lady lu clmrgd, requested a gift
for tbls purpose from a well kuowu
hnd wealthy gentleman In the city, but
one not famous for "parting.” To her
surprise she received next dny a note
to tbe effect that ho was sending her a
sirloin of beef nnd “two" ok tongues.
The same morning tbe Indy happened
to go to her butcher (who was also tbe
butcher of Mr. X.), and, (ifter giving
him n largo order for her''stall, asked
him If be would like himself to give
anything.
I should very much, inn'nm,” replied
tbe worthy tradesman, “but I yester
day gave to Mr. X., at bis request for
tbls purpose, a sirloin of beef and throe
ox tongues."
Net gain to Mr. X.: One ox tongue
and a cheap reputation for charltyl—

life happiness. He is unformed in his
character, unsettled in his ideas, ab
solutely ignorant of the first essentials
of what consideration or love for a
woman means. He doesn’t know him
self, let alone knowing a woman. Ho
is full of fancies, and it is his boyish
nature to flit from one fancy to fin-
other.
“He is incapable of the affection up
on which love is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know what
the feeling or even the word means.
He Is full of theories, each one of
which, when he comes to put It Into
practice, will fall. He is a boy pure
and simple, passing through that try
ing period through which every boy
must pnss before he becomes ft man.
But thnt period Is not tho marrying
time. For as his opinions of life are
to change, so nre his fancies of the
girl ho esteems ns the only girl in the
world to make him happy. The man
of 30 rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he was 20.”

Lightning performed a strange feat
near Osceola. Pa., during the recent
thunderstorm, says the Oil City Der
rick. Three fine cows belonging to a
farmer had been turned out to pasture
in a field on which tlio now grass is al
ready quite high, and when the shower
came on they gathered together In one
corner under some trees. There is a
wire fence running close by the spot
where they were standing, nnd a bolt
of lightning was attracted to It and ran
along the slender wires until the cows
were reached, when it glanced off,
striking tbe animals and killing all
three instantly.

A Cable With a History.
The cable of the Western Union Tele
graph company which runs under
Lake Champlain from Ticonderoga to
Larrabees Point bns something of a
history. It was made iu Europo and
was first used lu connecting opposite
shores of the Red sea. From there it
was brought to Hilton Head, where it
was used in connecting that place with
Tybee island, near Beaufort, S. C. At
the close of the civil war It was taken
up and carried to New York city,
where It remained for several years in
the company storehouse before it was
placed where it now Is.

“She refuses to talk,” replied the
