No end of ingenuity is displayed in getting up devices whereby a person can carry his or her luncheon to the office without the general publics knowing it. There is a large class of those wiio wish to save the price of their midday meal by bringing the food from home, aud who yet don’t like to carry it in an ordina; y bundle. In the winter a man may stick the parcel in his overcoat picket, or di¬ vide it and stick half in each pocket, and a woman may bide a sandwich and a piece of cake in tier muff. In summer, however, both these re¬ sources are of no avail. One plan is to get an old portable camera, take the mechanism out and use the box to carry luncheon in. This is a capital idea if the man is not afraid of arousing suspicion by the unusual habit of carrying a kodak to and from business every day. The box will often furnish amusement, however. Many persons, especially women, labor under the fear thafthe man opposite them in a car with a camera in his lap wants to take their picture. They squirm mi easily in their seats, glare at the innocent looking man. gaze at the camera aj> parently aimed at them ami finally perha|is go to a seat in another part of the ear. They would feel pretty cheap if they Hooked into the instru¬ ment and saw that it contained only a ham sandwich, a boiled egg or two and a piece of pie. Boxes for holding luncheon are also made in the shape of books. The binding is an exact reproduction of that of some books, the title “De¬ cline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume i,” or ’‘Ben Hur,” being 1«>Id¬ ly printed on the edge. It may seem add that a man should carry one book six months without finishing it, io the bright young man perhaps puts a pa{>er cover, such as is used in the Mercantile library, on the U>x. He changes this cover from lime to fine as it becomes soiled, and there¬ fore appears to lie a great reader. A sufficiently simple device tor the pretty typewriter is to carry lemon¬ ade biscuit and cake in a “dummy” music roll. The objection here is that a young woman is hardly likely to go to a big office hmldiug in Wail street or Bread way to take music lessons. She may cany the roll there occasionally, but if she firings it regularly every morning at !> o'clock and takes it away every after¬ noon at 5 she cannot deceive any one who sees her frequently uud {jays attention to ber. It is a trait of human nature, how¬ ever. that people ask themselves ten times asoften “What are they think¬ ing of met” as they actually notice the attire or demeanor of another. In ail probability not more than one or two ever bother their heads about whether the tjq>ewriter’s roll con¬ tains music or muffins. If she would only realize this she would lie less uneasy —and perhaps more unhappy. The oddest device of all w r as that of a girl who is a pupil at the Art Htiidents’ league. This inventive genius brought her luncheon in the tall hat which she wore an idea that would hardly recommend itself to many. It should be added that this remedy soon struck her as worse than the malady, and she now brings tier food in a piece of paper or gets it in a restaurant.—New York Tribune. What III rein Think of Man. Possibly, uow that Professor Gar aier has directed serious attention to iiseoveriug the structure of monkey talk, we may before long have some naturalist translating bird words into English. It is certainly humiliating to find ourselves, after centimes of intercourse with feathered snugsters, still such aliens'to each other. What in average bird thinks of an average man it is difficult even to conceive. To the mind of a grouse, man is a riant with an iron stick that shoots jut death. To a caged canary he must appear an amiable lunatic, whose only idea of language is to say: “Twee, tw’ee!” but who, if in r pleasant humor, may perha]>s jffer a bit of grounsel or a lump of We prefer not to consider what >inion a wild lark who has been ared on its own hilLside forms of i captor, who simts it up in a cage amt nine inches sauare and keeps
