“Yas’m, I’ll work for you for $3 a
week ef I totes, and $4 ef I don’t,"
said the undersized negro girl as she
discussed prospective employment
with a housewife who had only re¬
cently moved south and to whom the
speech of the negro was still a com¬
plete mystery.
“Ef she totes,” she cogitated. What
on earth could that mean? It sounded
like the pass word to a secret society
or some other equally mystic phrase.
She decided to invite the girl to return
the next day for a final decision, plan¬
ning in the meantime to have the puz¬
zling phrase translated.
As soon as the girl departed she
sought counsel of a southern friend,
who laughingly told her that the girl
meant she would work for $3 a week
if she was allowed to carry home food
for her family daily, or $4 without
this highly esteemed privilege.—New

Precious Relic for Reims.
The Reims treasure has been en¬
riched by a precious jewel of the
ainth, or maybe the eighth century, a
generous gift of the Empress Eugenie,
says Le Moniteur de la Bijouterie in
an article in the Jeweler’s Circular.
The matter in question is the rel¬
iquary of Charlemagne, a round cap¬
sule of gold encircled with precious
stones, In the middle of which, made
out of two hollowed-out sapphires, a
piece of the true cross is enclosed.
It was found on the neck of the
great emperor and the clergy of AIx
la-Chapelle (where Charlemagne died
and was buried in 814) gave it in 1804
to Napoleon I. Napoleon III preserved
this magic talisman, which assured,
he said, the empire to its holder, In
his bed-chamber at the Tuileries, at
the head of his bed.
Many Species of Petrels.
There are more than 100 species of
petrels scattered in wide-spread areas
of ocean, but among the most inter¬
esting are the fulmars. Sailors ’ of
British vessels commonly refer to
them as “molly-mawks,” a corruption
of mallemuck. The birds in great
flocks follow in the wake of ships, and
are specially fond of a whaling vessel,
for they like the oily substance that
is thrown out in the refuse from
whale-cleaning.
The fulmar ranges over the North
Atlantic from 45 degrees latitude on
the American side, and lower, to 53
degrees as the farthest south on the
European side.
