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 artist's eyes and from a purely ar- > tlstic standpoint and bad meant no i offense. But it was trying.”—New ! York Commercial Advertiser. Fire n< Weddlnir«. Fire is an essential in some wedding ‘ celebrations. In Persia the service is ! read in front of a fire.

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. Experienced. “Have you made up your mind just what qualities you expect to find in a ; ■ husband?' ’ asked the matron. “Why, of course,” answered the i maid. “Too bad, ” commented the matron j with a sigh.

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. Mrs. J. M.
