' : ‘‘How do you pay—by the string or the hour?” inquired the reporter. ■‘We give them one cent a string, and they can work as long as they wish. Lots of them are street girls who wish only a few cents for a ribbon or a brass ring, and will work only lorg enough to earn a half dollar or so. Then they’ll leave as soon as they get that muck, and go - well go to the bad, 1 .suppose, and other girls will take their places, H “How niapy strings can the average girl do in one day?*’ “Anywhere from 40 to 100, and some of my old hands get up to 125. The most skillful ones I put to making the variegated strings, which are filled with red and white kernels alternately, ami give them half a cent more to the string. There is a ‘know-how’ to’ it, you see, ju st as there is to everything. Un the whole, these girls get good wages, earning, as they may, from $3 to $6 a week. Shop-girls rarely do as well as that, for among them even the heads of the departments don’t often reach more than #5 a week. This work gets tiresome, though, and makes the arms aohe and the eyes watery in time. Just look at that kid there,” pointing to a child of about 12 years, whose head, covered with long, heavy brown curls, had fallen back against a pile If cloaks and overshoes on the shelf behind her, and whose dreams were probably a wild confusion of pop corn. candy, and Alaska diamonds. “How much corn are you putting on string?” resumed the reporter. * “About ten barrels. O, I forgot though? 1 am doing charity work. Seme lame girl down hero on Ogden avenue read my advertisement for help and sent me word this morning that not come to the shop, but if I send a barrel of corn to her bouse she would do the work there. I want down to see her and found her so needy thaa 1 just packed a barrel-full right down there, though I can’t speak for her honesty. There's a neat little <»rotit in ppp-corn, anti I can afford a ittle charity occasionally. In work, cord, com. and waste I spend a little over two cents on each of those strings, and then sell it for five cents.” “Who are the best patrons of your pop corn couplers?” “Newsboys and mission churches.”— Oktritpo 7Vi<dLs*.

Richard was sitting with a friend on a bench overlooking the sea. He would have been a remarkably handsome fel low, were it not for the discontented expression, which always clouded his face. On the other hand, his companion, Arthur Kenmore, was a plain-looking man, with nothing to redeem his want of comeliness but a bright pair of eyes, and a winning smile. At first sight, women were struck by Richard’s appearance; but after a time they gradually began to feel a preference for Arthur, because he talk ed. amusingly, and made himself so agreeable. To tell the truth Richard was too proud and reserved—a fault for which his parents hail been to blame, for he had been a spoiled child. “Do you really believe what you say, or do you only make that assertion to startle one?” asked Renmorein answer to his friend’s remark. “I really believe that if I had been born to poverty I should be far happier than 1 am now,” returned Richard gravely. "Then I’ll slygw away out oi i you Jhm quired in a low tone: “Is there any sickness in Mr. Pill box’s family? I sec his boy came in hero a little while ago.” “If you wish to know about Mr. Pill box’ von had better go and ask him. Id' ot make a practice of retailing goss. about my customers.” “Au’ Good evening.” “There is another reason why a druggist should forget his work when it is finished.” said the compoundet after the Inquisitive man had departed. “Such • practice enables a man to keep ihe confidence of customers with- I out trouble. Nothing is more fatal to • druggist than a well-founded belief among the neighbors that he will gos sip about persons who buy drugs from him. It is surprising how many per sons make attempt to got information from druggists about their neighbors. Imitative Coloring in Marine Life. The adaptation of the innumerable tints to every grade of change in the color of the sea-weed is really marvel ous. The younger, lighter green crus taceans are always to be found on the young, verdant "fronds of the plant, while the older parts of the weed are inhabited by older, brown animals. The older stems are often incrusted with the white shells of bryozoa, and corresponding with these we are sure to find white spo\ on the brown armor of the crabs. 1\ -legs of the animals are frequently of an olive-green ground with brownish spots, deceptively like the slender sea-weed-leaves that are just beginning to turn brown. If one will, as I did, pull one of the large plants upon- tho <itaehvkmva.it. in a. cask, of sea-water for an hour or two, and then look through it for crabs without disturbing it, he will find it very hard to discover three or four of the animals, although he may be sure there are a quarter of a hundred of them there; and. if he gives the mass a lively shake, he will find a curious assemblage of the most varied sorts tumbling off the bush, whose behavior will go far to verity Wagner’s view; for. if they are allow ed the opportunity, they will all swim back to the sea-weed' and each will seek a part of the plant most like it in color. I tried the experiment forty or fifty times, and never saw a little green crab settle on a dark-brown stem. The crustaceans keep to their color, and the brown ones will, with amazing speed, dart through the thick net-work ot stems and leaves, to the darkest s]H>t they can find, where they quickly es cape observation.— Dr. Withi’m enoacA, «n IVpslar Setcmce January.

He felt rather glad to be left alone with his thoughts. Young, rich, and handsome, he was as utterly miserable as any mortal with such advantages could be. His money seemed to stand between him and happiness, and yet he would not have parted with it for any considera tion. He prized it so much that he feared that it might have the same val ue in the eyes of the girl he loved. What if it induced her to give him her hand without her heart? Edith Palmer was comparatively Soor, and he knew she loved pleasure, he had often told him as much, and complained of the dullness of her life. He remembered how her cheeks had flushed and her eyes sparkled with ex citement when he had spoken of the fay world of fashion, or described the ifferent places he had seen. "No, I will not ask her to be my wife,” he told himself with intense bit terness. “My money is too great a temptation for any 'woman to resist. She would accept my offer if she didn’t love me, and I should discover it after wards, and be wretched for life. I will leave S as soon as possible, and try to forget her.” He had risen now and turned his back upon the sea, and some children who were playing in the sand gazed after him in surprise, wondering what made that big man look so cross. He certainly had anything but an agree able expression on his face as he walk ed along nibbling the ends of his long mustache. “Hallo, Mr. Maur,” said somebody at bis elbow, in a clear, young voice. “Oh, is it you, Jack?” returned Richard. “Where are you off to now?’ ’ Jack was Edith Palmer’s brother, and Richard had shown him many kindnesses, completely winning his boyish heart. “I was looking for you,” said Jack. "Come up to the house and see Joe, will you? Father says be does not like the look of him. Do come; there is no body at homo; Edith has gone, to see Susie Drown.” * . “All *right, I’ll come,” returned RichanJg relieved and yet disappointed ||MHra£f||votild sister. liiMbubTi; b* ally, and developments awaited - .

The other day a Rockland household Kras made proud and happy by the in troduction of a cabinet organ. The Hpiother could play a little, and as there Kras a “popular collection of music” in- Jcluded in the purchase she lost no time in getting every note and stop into practice. The organ groaned and wheezed and complained with the most astonishing of music, night and day, day and night, for a week. Then one morning there was a knock at the door, and a little girl from the next house shrillv said: “Please, marm, mother wants to know if you won’t lend her vour music book?” was a surprising request, inas as the woman next door was |ipi to be organless. After gasping or twice the amateur organist asked: “What does she want of it?” The child hadn't been loaded for this question, so she straightforwardly re plied: “I don’t know, ’m sure, only I beard mother tell father that if she bad hold of the book for a day or two mebbe somebody could get a rest” The woman softly shut the door in the little girl’s face and went and care - fully locked the cabinet organ with a brass key.—Rodcland Courier-Gazette. —— 11—bi « ew A Big Bird’s Nest. l What would my young readers think lif they should find a nest 80 feet in di lameter and <i or 8 feet high? There are |such nests in the Molucca Islands, gmade, too, by a bird as small, if not than the straw-intail, and called hnegapodius. Like the tropic bin!, too, phey frequent the scrubby jungles along rthe seashore, where the soil is samL\ ! gbut they have remarkably large and I Strong feet and long claws. Where 1 yere is a considerable quantity of deb- j gris. consisting of sticks, shells, sca- B?eeds and leaves, the megapodius forms Bnmense mounds, often with compara- | five ease, for with their long feet they Kn grasp and throw backward a large | ■hantity of material. In the center of Ahis mound, at the depth of two or three feet, the eggs are deposited and are hatched by the gentle heat produced by the ferme&Ution of the vegetable mat ter of the mound. —Golden apronslH at high teasand the like over made short are “Roman” in effSßßn the skirt part, and are embroidered with an edge in rich Oriental colors in Ro man designs. The novel feature of the apron consists of there being added a sleeveless zouave jacket, but cut away still more than even these diminutive jackets usually are. The back of the jacket reaches several inches below the waist, and joins the apron on the side seam. Household Notes. A delicious dish for breakfast is made by serving broiled tomatoes on broiled steak. Slices of cold roast beef may be broiled with tomatoes and served with them. A good way to use the yelks of eggs when you have them left after making cake with the whites, is to keep them in a cool place; in the morning beat them well, and dip slices of bread in them and fry brown. Stale bread may be used for this. Baked Beans.—Lovers of the sturdy old New England dish, baked beans, may be glad to know of a new wrinkle in preparing in, suggested by Mr. Phil brick m the New England Farmer. I believe,” he says, “if people generally knew what a delicious dish celerv makes with common baked beans, there would be a larger sale for it Chop up the celery fine and mix it with the beans, season with vinegar and mustard to taste; you will call for a second plate of it everytime. Brown Fricassee of Chicken.—Clean, wash and cut the chicken into compara tively small pieces. Chop a quarter of a pound of good fat salt pork and half a small onion. Put the chicken with these into a small pot with a pint of cold water, and stew slowly until the meat is tender. Takeout the chicken, put into a colander and keep hot over a pot of boiling water, throwing a cloth over the colander. Strain the grayy back into the pot, season with parsley, pepber and salt. Thicken with a table spoonful of browned flour, boil up once return the chicken to the gravy, sim mer ten minutes and serve. Little Love Pats Between Neighbors.

What an eye you have for such things. Do you remember those imitation diamonds you had after Mr. Beacon got his first street cleaning con tract? Most everybody thought they were genuine.
