A young man who at the present
time is willing to accept any position
requiring close application to business,
a high order of intelligence and a meek
and uncomplaining spirit, at a moder¬
ate salary, has recently been brought
to a realization of tlie fact that he is
# total of human
a mere unit in the sum
existence; also that a little bluffing is
a dangerous thing at times.
He was working for an .old-estab¬
lished insurance company, occupying
au entire floor of a large office build¬
ing in LftNulle street, and had been
employed by the concern for about six
months, fulfilling his duties, as he had
reason to believe, with entire satisfac¬
tion to his superiors. He knew that
the head bookkeeper had referred to
him as ‘‘a bright young man,’’and Unit
his fellow clerks regarded him with
respect. The manager smiled cordially
when he met him and addressed him
familiarly by his Christian name, Al
together this young man felt remark¬
ably secure in his position.
One-niorniug Ive walked into the man -
ager’s- room t*u4 asked if he could
speak, to him a moment.
“Certainly, Herbert, What is it?”
said the manager, wheeling around in
his chair and beaming kindly through
his spectacles at his subordinate.
I 1 Nothing serious, I hope.” wanted
“Well,sir,” said Herbert, “I
to tell you that I intend to leave you
the lirst of next month.”
Why, is that so ?” said the manager,
“Well, well, well*! You don’t mean
to tell me that, Herbert.”
“Yes,sir,’’said the young man firmly.
“I find that I am getting $1 a week
less than any man in the office who is
doing the work 1 am. I have got to
have a raise or quit the first of the
month.”
“O, no, Herbert,yon won’t do that,”
said his chief, thrusting his thumb
into an armhole of his waistcoat and
smiling in the samegenial and benevo-’
lent wav. “No, no; you won’t do
that.”
“I have quite made up my mind,”
said Herbert.
“O, you’ve made up your mind,
have you ?’’ saidJJfie manager. “Yes,
yes. But,you i^n’t quit the first of
the month, Herbert; .you’ll quit right
now and right here. You cau tell the
cashier to make out an order for your
wages to the end of the week, and
send it to me and I’il sign it. That’s
Jtecont ill, Herbert, Good day.”—Chicago

It could wrestle with five men at a
time, and the chances are that this
handsome specimen of their ancestors
would get the better of the encounter.
The animal’s face is, of course, free
from hair, but “the hirsute adorn¬
ment” on its head is parted in the
centre with a neatness that suggests
that the orang-ontang has just come
from the barber’s.
Judged from man’s standard of
beauty, the new arrival cannot he said
to have an attractive physiognomy.
The nose is sunk deep in the face,

The Cnrions Tltclier Plant.
Specimens of the Nepenthes Ven

The pitchers are green, with the peri
stoine rosy red, forming a very de

color is fully developed at present is
uncertain, for those now c>n the plant
have not been formed under the best
conditions and have not readied their
maximum development, owing to
which the size has been takeu from
dried pitchers in M. Loher’s codec

when alive. These dried specimens

A Floating Snail.
There is a small snail which is so
fond of the sea that it never comes to
land, and it builds suclf a capital iwat
for Itself and its eggs that while large
ships are sinking nnd steamers are un¬
able to face the storm it tosses about
in perfect safety.
The little snail Is of a violet color
and is therefore called lanthina. It
has a small shell and there projects
from the under part of the ltody a
long, tongue-like piece of flesh. 'This
is the raft, nnd It is built upon most
scientific principles, for it lias com¬
partments for air. It Is broad and
the air compartments are underneath,
so that It cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away its cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soou
est are placed in the center and the
lightest and newest on the sides of the
raft. The lanthina fills its own air
compartments by getting a globule of
air underneath its head, the body is
then curved downward beneath the
raft, and, the head being tilted on one
side, the air rushes in. and fills the
spaces. It feeds on a beautiful little
jelly fish, which has a flat, raft-like
form with a pretty little sail upon it,
and they congregate in multitudes
when the sea Is calm,
Sometimes specimens are washed
upon the norfli western coast of
France, and when they are handled
they give out a violet dye.—Philadel¬
phia Press.
