I trials of a woman.
|i SHE WHO TAKES THE TICKETS AT
THE PICTURE SHOWS.
Her Task. While Nerve Hocking, In
vites n Study of Some of the Curl
| ou« Punst-M of Human Nature That
nt Timea Are on Dress Parade.
A: a rule the young woman who
bik at t\.- picture exhibition
Is an art student herself. The other
girls trying to earn money envy her
and think she has a “soft thing.” It
is apparently easy enough to be the
ticket taker at a picture show. Al)
there is to do, apparently, Is to sit in
a roomful of pictures, take people’s
tickets as they come in and sell cata
logues.
“You would be surprised to see how
much work it Is,” said a girl who
takes tickets at one of the big exhi
bitions. “You have to keep your eyes
open all the time, for there are a large
number of people who try to run past
without tickets. I have to go after
people a dozen times a day, calling
‘Ticket, please,’ and they turn on me
with an indignant stare. Most of
them then go and buy tickets. But
one well dressed woman the other day
took up her lorgnette, looked me over
from head to foot, and said in anjlcy
tone: ‘Ticket! I have no ticket!’ and
proceeded calmly on her way. I ran
fitter her again.
“ ‘Madame,’ I said, ‘1 shall have to
trouble you for a ticket.’
“‘I have already told you I had
none,’ she said.
“ ‘l’m afraid you will have to get
one,’ said I. I was beginning to be
afraid I should have to get a ‘bouncer 1
to put her out, for I was determined
she should not go in without paying.
That is what I’m here for, and I am
conscientious. Well, at last she flounc
ed out to the ticket office, bought her
ticket and put it down on my desk,
saying:
“ ‘What; an imposition!’
“That is one sort of the people I have
to deal with. Then the other is the
kind who wish to borrow a catalogue
for a minute and keep it the whole aft
ernoon. I have to be very stern about
catalogues. The best way is to polite
ly look tin whatever picture is asked
for and to absolutely refuse to let any
one take a catalogue for a moment.
One nice old lady took me at my word,
and 1 really believe she asked me
every single number in the room. I
did more than 25 cents’ worth of work
for her, I can tell you. The worst is
telling people the price of pictures. Aft
ter about six weeks of it it grates on
one's nerves. This is what continually
happens: A threadbare old gentleman
comes to the desk:
“ ‘Do you know the price of pic
tures?’ he asks.
“ ‘Yes; would you like to know the
price of any?’ I reply.
“ ‘There is one in the other room.’ lie
says.
" ’What is the number?’ 1 ask.
“ ‘1 can't tell you the number, but it's
in the other room.’
“Then I have to send him for the
number.
“ ‘No. 221.’
“ ‘That is SSOO.
“ ‘Why?’ asks my old gentleman.
“If it’s early in the afternoon, I ex
; plain to him that I suppose the artist
I thinks it worth that; that he is well
known, or what not; later I say, ‘I
don't know.’ Not one person in 50 of
those who ask the price have the
slightest idea of buying. Some will
j go through half an exhibition and in
| slst on knowing the prices of all. I
; get so tired of being polite and affable
j to all these people that by the time I
i get out in the evening I am ready to
i insult i dearest friend for the sake
;of being rude to some one. It’s so
! hopeless telling the price of a picture
i over and over agaiu and each time
having the people exclaim, ‘What an
awful price!’
“A great many people hold me per
sonally responsible for tlie pictures.
Lots of people come and talk very dis
agreeably to me about them. ‘What
makes them have such bad shows?’
they ask me. Young men come up
and say, ‘lsn’t this awful trash? in an
accusing sort of way, as though I
had done it all myself. And one man
fairly shook his fist in my face and
demanded bis money back. ‘lt’s a
swindle!’ he shouted at me. But it
really wasn't my fault.
“At private exhibitions it’s different
There people come up to me and say,
‘What a privilege to sit among the
works of the masters all day!’ I
don’t tell them that If I sat among
the works of the masters much longer
I should go mad, but I would like to.
“The other day a friend of mine
took my place. A man came up to her
and asked:
“ ‘Miss, is your picture among these
works of art?’
“ ‘Why, no,’ she replied.
“He stood off a little way and
fequinted at her. ‘lt should be—you
are worthy of it Did no one ever tell
you you had a beautiful profile?’
“That was a little startling, coming
.L - .
learned that her admirer was , the
well known photographer. Os course
he bad been looking at her through an

> tlstic standpoint and bad meant no

A Tricky Butcher.
’ ( “The greatest business mind I ever
j ran up against was possessed by the
' i former proprietor of a moat market out
in Germantown,” said a street car con
ductor the other day as bis car was
waiting on Front street. ‘‘This butcher
had a fine, squeaky voice, which you
could hear a block away. Tricky? Yes,
that’s just what you would call it. I
used to watch him sometimes when
he was waiting on customers, and it
was positively amusing to see the ap
parent ease with which he would make
a two pound steak weigh apparently
three or more pounds.
“He would take a couple of pounds
of meat and throw it on the scales so
that the pointer would show four pounds
and then tak« it off before the scales
could register the true weight. ’There’s
just four pounds exactly, ’ he would say |
to the customer in that squeaky voice |
of his, and then continue with the state
ment quickly made: ‘Four times 12 is
58. Call it 60, ’ and unless the customer
was watching him closely he would al- I
ways get even change.
“He was in the meat business only a
, few years and amassed a competency.
; Then he left it. What worries me is
, how he is going to get along now. I un
derstand he is in the real estate business,
and I wonder how he works it when ho
, sells a piece of laud. The scales won’t
help him much there.”—Philadelphia
Record.
The Only Time There Wai.
The necessity that there shall be only
1 one man who “has the say” in a mili
tary command is thoroughly recognized
1 in the United States army. story is
told of General Shafter which illns-
: trates the punctilio of the regulars in
this regard.
At a certain frontier post at which
Shafter, who then held an inferior rank,
was commander many years ago, a dis
cussion arose among several officers as
to the exact time of day. A captain,
with his watch in his band, said:
“It is now exactly 3 o’clock.”
“Oh, no!” said a lieutenant. “By
my time it’s eight minutes past 8.”
A third young officer drew his watch
out of his pocket. “I know my time is
exactly right, ” he said, “and my watch
says two minutes past 3. ”
At this juncture Major Shafter looked
at his silver watch.
"I don’t know what your watches
say,” he remarked, “but I wish you to
understand that in this command it is
five minutes past 3.”
Then the young officers remembered
that the authority of the commanding
officer extended even to the time
day.—Youth’s Companion.
A Useful Coffin.
It may not be generally known that
the Dutch Boers at the Cape, especially
those living in remote districts where
material is expensive and labor difficult
to obtain, frequently purchase at least
one coffin beforehand which is placed in
a conspicuous position in the “voor
kamer” or principal sitting room and
utilized as an article of furniture, for
ornament or as a receptacle for clothing
and other oddments.
One farmer well known to the writer
possesses a beautifully finished article
of this sort which he purchased about
30 years ago. During that period he has
buried three wives each of whom had
to be content with coffins of the com
monest material and roughest work
manship while his own awaiting its
possessor stands in all its luster of pol
ished teak and silver mountings.
For the present the old gentleman
uses it as a couch for his midday nap in
order, as he sometimes remarks with
grave humor, that he may get accustom
ed to it.—Cape Times.
A German Word Serpent.
A German correspondent comes to the
rescue of his countrymen, concerning
whom we expressed surprise that they
should prefer to use a word of four syl
lables when another word expressing
the same thing in 40 syllables was
available. He sends us a copy of The
Kolnische Volkszeitung, in which oc
curs a sentence of 607 words, occupy-
■ ing 69 lines of the newspaper.
; This word serpent occurs in a legal
' judgment, and even the printers got to
> hate it after setting up about 450 words
i of it. So they put in a full stop, which,
like a rifle bullet in the spine of a boa
i constrictor, killed the whole sentence.
But it must really be nice to have news
i papers in which you can begin to read
: a sentence at breakfast, continue it in
the train and triumphantly reach the ;
verb at office.'—London Globe.

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Deadly Perils They Enco inter In Sat.
lug Human lavra.
A great ten< ment house was burning
like tinder wood in sue of the poorest
<inarters of the metropolis. The stairs
had gone up in smoko before everybody
had left the building, and even the fire
escape down the outside of the building
was cut off by the hot flames from the
lower windows, which had already
peeled off a part of it A young girl of
14 or 15 was frautically shrieking for
help in one of tbe top windows, and a
mother was wringing her hands in piti
ful despair down in the street.
The chief called for volunteers to
save the girl, and three men came for
ward on the instant, without hesitation
r and without awaiting to count their
| chances for snecess. This is the custom
| in such eases, for no one would take the
responsibility ci ordering a fireman to
his possible death.
A strong young fellow who had yet
I to win his spurs was selected for the
task, and he disappeared quickly
through the doorway of the adjoining
building. Win it next the crowd saw
him be appeared at the window just
under the roof, and, grasping the tin
cornice of the burning building next to
him, be swung out into the air and
made his way, hand over hand, for 30
feet through the dense smoke that rose l
in black clouds from the lower windows ■
to the sill where the girl was seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces in the street be I
low were tortured with fear for the
hero,'.a hundred muttered prayers went
up for his safety as the fireman disap
peared into the black cloud, and a thou
sand throats sent up a lusty shout of re
lief as he appeared again at the window
a moment later with the limp form of
the girl in his arms.—Harper’s Round
Table.
THE CLOTHES OF AUTHORS.
Some Strictures Upon the Dregs of Eng
lUli Uterary Men.
and playwrights in sample
quantities are the latest class to come
under the basilisk eye and measuring
tape of The Tailor and Cutter. These
memliera of the sister profession of jour
nalism, and perhaps even the severely
judged members of parliament who
have appeared in a like connection, may
be relieved to know that the novelists
and playwrights scarcely excel them as
glasses of fashion and molds of form.
Byway no doubt of sharpening his pen,
the tailor critic begins with I. Zang
will, whose lounge suit “might have
belonged to any period during the last
ten years, "and had even reached the
stage of th» “shabby genteel." How
ever, it is consoling to know that Mr.
ZangwilFs literary success enables him
to wear a frock coat that nearly passes
muster, even though the accompanying
trousers are too short.
Mr.,Jerome, J. M. Barrie, Henry Ar
thur Jones and Hall Caine might al
most be called moderately well dressed
in a nonsfylish 4 way. At all events
they avoid tbe shuddering solecism of
wearing a light coat and waistcoat with
dark trousers, attributed to Robert
Buchanan, or the mixed styles of W. S.
Gilbert. But the only two members of
the class who unreservedly enjoy the
approval of our contemporary are Sir
Walter Besant and Clement Scott. The
former will no doubt be rejoiced to
learn that his clothes might cause him
to be mistaken for “a prosperous city
merchant,” while Mr. Scott might
“easily be mistaken for a prosperous
tradesman,” says a tailor. The force of
flattery could surely no farther go.—
London Chronicle.
Gladstone's Courtesy.
“My father,” says a London restau
rant keeper, “was a milkman, anti his
place was in the neighborhood of Har
ley street. He supplied the Gladstone
family with milk, and I delivered it.
One day when on my rounds a thunder
storm came on as Iliad just reached Mr.
Gladstone’s house, and the rain descend
ed in torrents. I rang the servants’ bell,
but it was not promptly answered, and
meantime I was being soaked with,the
rain. The front door opened, and a
kindly voice asked me to step into the
doorway, so that I might bo sheltered.
Mr. Gladstone had seen me from the
window and opened the door himself.
He also rang for the servant, so that I
might be attended to without further
delay.”
Light and Artificial Fog.
The production of cloud by the action I
j of ultra violet light was demonstrated I
! at a soiree at the Royal society byC. T. j
R. Wilton. The beam from an arc lamp
containing moist air free from dust. lu
i a few minutes a blue fog was seen to
form in the illuminated cone, and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the ul
tra violet rays were cut off by a sheet of
mica, no such formation took place, and
it is therefore suggested that the small
particles which give rise to the blue of
the sky are produced by the ultra violet
rays of sunlight absorbed in the upper
| layers of the atmosphere.—Engineering.
Built Upon » Bowlder.
There is a village in England built
upon,an enormous bowlder of chalk.
This bowlder is half a mile long and
must have been carried coastwanl a dis
tance of 25 miles by some great iceberg.
It was dropped to the bottom of the
glacial sea, where it became partly cov
ered and surrounded by blue gray bowl
der clay.

of the Methodist Episcopal church at
