The Young Man Who Wasn’t
Particular About Wages.
An Agreement Which Proved A Disas
trous one for the Employer. z
Cjfc* w .* .s' - .
Year before last a bright-looking
young man entered our counting-room in
response to an advertisement for an as
sistant shipping clerk. He told the
usual tale of how he desired a position
more than wages for the time being, and
was willing to accept a nominal salary to
start in on. The old man was feeling in
particularly good humor that afternoon,
and said pleasantly to the new comer:
“Well, sir, what would you consider
a nominal salary? What would you be
willing to accept’in beginning?”
The young man picked at the lining of
his hat with his fingers, and deferentially
replied :
‘‘l want to show you, sir, that I mean
business, and I will work for one cent
for the J remainder of this month, pro
viding you think it would not be too
much to double my- salary each month
thereafter.’* • ’
“That’s a Hovel proposition, surely,”’
•aid the old man with a smile. “Do you
know what you are talking about, my
dear-boy?”
“Well, sir, my principal aim is to
learn the business,” responded the young
fellow, and I would almost be willing to
work for nothing, but I’d like to feel
and be able to say that I was earning
something, you know.”
“I’ll take you,” remarked the old
man. “Ono cent, two cents, four cents,
eight, sixteen,” he enumerated. “You
won’t get much for awhile,” he added.
He took him up to the cashier. “This
is John Smith,” ho said. “He will go
to work as an assistant shipping clerk
to-morrow. His salary will bo one ceiit
this month. Double it every month
from now on.”
“In consideration of my working for
this small salary might ,1 ask you to as
sure mo a position for a definite period?”
inquired John Smith.
“We don’t usually do that,” replied
the governor; “but we can’t.loose much
on you anyhow, I guess, and you look
like an honest fellow. How long do
you want eraplqyiße»t?” •$' • „ •, •»
“Three years, sir, if ag^eable'to you.”
Well, by Jove, the'old man agreed,
nrvl young Mr. Smith, on pretence of
wanting some evidence of stability of'
his place, got the governor to write out
and sign a paper that he had been guar
anteed a position in the house for three
yours on the ternift I have stated.’
Ho worked along for six months with
out drawing a ijeirt. * Hit said he would
draw all his darning* Christmas. The
cashier onq day thought he’d figure up
how much would be coming to the
young man. Ho gfew so interested in
the project that ho kept multiplying for
the three years, fflm result almost stag
gered him. This-i^the.Column of figures

Chased by a Plant.
One of the most familiar plants in.
Southern California and Arizona is thej
tumble-weed. In the fall the gardens, of'
some localities are covered with thejn J
the plant being a low bush, about two
feet in height, and spreading out to sev-'
eral feet in width. So small and weak
are the roots that when the plant goes to
seed the breeze detaches it and the plant
goes rolling along like a ball, scattering i
its seeds broadcast over the land miles [
from where it originally grew. In Ari- |
zona the tumble-weed sometimes attains '
mammoth proportions. I have seen them
five feet across, and so bulky that one
would easily upset a man when traveling
at a good rate of speed.
The following incident shows that a i
man may be chased by a plant: “I
was travelling through Arizona on horse
back some years ago,” said the narrator, i
“and one day found myself in a desert i
plain almost destitute of vegetation. The '
only thing in the way of a shrub were
numbers of dead tumble weeds, many of
gigantic size, and, curiously enough, they
were piled in great heaps as if some one
had hauled them together to burn them;
but as there was no object in doing this,
I concluded that the wind had done it,
and I found iatcr that my supposition !
was correct.
“I had gone about ten miles'in this j
tumble-weed count r y when I noticed a
storm coming up to the west. There
was not the slightest shelter, so I kept
along, but finally saw a big pi'.e of turn- i
ble-weed and made for it, thinking to
get under its lee, and I just about made
it when the rain commenced. The pile
was about ten feet high, and I thought I
had a good shelter and dismounted; but
I had hardly reached the ground when a
gust of wind came that shook the heap
as if it had been made of paper, arid a
big tumble-weed on top rolled off onto
the horse. Fortunately I had not left
him, and as he leapt back and reared I
hung on and in a second w<as on his
back, and not a bit too soon, as then the
gale struck us, and the way that heap
dissolved partnership was a caution to
sinners. My horse was wild with fear
and was off-leading, while behind came
thirty or forty mammoth tumble-weeds,
rolling along like gigantic cannon-balls.
I never saw such a sight in my life, and I
soon found that I was being chased by
hundreds of them. .1 looked_back and
saw one jump twenty feet into the air as
it hit a rock, and every little prominence
sent them up where the .wind would
catch them and bowl them like foot-balls.
I dodged several and at last got out of j
the souall. I haven’t the slightest doubt'
.thatif l had been struck by one of the
plants it would have knocked over horse j
and all—in fact, I heard later of a man i
that was caught in such a squall and ac- |
tually bowled over by one of .them.”—, !

Origin of Billiards. . ’
Billiards were invented, says a good (
authority, by a pawnbroker. About the
middle of the sixteenth century there
was one William Kew, a pawnbroker,
who during wet weather was in the hab- !
it of taking down the three balls, and, ■.
with the yard measure, pushing them, !
billiard fashion, from the counter into I
the stalls. In time the idea of a board I
with sidepockets suggested itself. A
black letter MS. says: “Master Wil
limn Kew did make one board whereby
a game is played with three balls, and :
all the young men were greatly recreated
thereat, chiefly the young clergymen
from Fuwles, hence one of ye strokes
was named a Canon, having been by one
of ye same clergymen invented. This
game is now known by ye name of bill
yard, because William or ‘Bill’ Kew did
first plave with his yarde measure. The .
'stick is now called a kew or kue.” It is
endy to comprehend how “Bill yard” has
been into Billiard, and the •
transformation of “kew” or “kue” into
cue is equally apparent.
Fire Customs in China.
The .following extract from a letter
from a lady in Pekin, China, written
to a friend in Chicago, will interest a
good, many people • ‘‘Last week there was
oujta a fire not very far from us, quite an
unusual thing I am told, for the build
ings arc of brick with, tile roofs. Several
stores burned, and three men were
burned to death. A strange custom in
connection with any fire is, that the own
er of the building where th? fire breaks
<Wt is taken to the yarmin (place of pub
lic business, police court, etc.) and
severely beaten, I suppose the idea being
that he must have been careless to have
let it happen. In this case the man was
hurt at the fire and died from the beat
ing. Another strange thing is, that ail
the stores near, for several days are
obliged to sell their goods cheap, out
of gratitude that they did not burn
down too.— lntrr-Oocajn.

On her way thoughts of her new dress

to wear it on an occasion which to her
■ seemed very important. Someone was

Thus absorbed, she suddenly found
i herself some distance beyond het desti
' nation. There was nothing for it but to
walk back, and the way lay through
j streets filled with miserable houses. The
1 fashionable girl hurried along until,
, all at once, she found a sort of barricade
across the street. The middle object of
I this barricade was a sewing machine, to
i which on one side clung a woman, on the
; other a man. An attendant cro-wd of
residents contemplated this scene with
evident interest, and Emma Rome
became, perforce, one of their number.

“You’ve owed that two months,” re
plied the man. “Come, let go, missus.

But the woman didjidtr j-ettfrqHfe&h'her. 1

“Forty dollars,” she repeated, “and
the machine but SSO, and he’s taking it.
I never failed until. Jim broke his
and his work stopped, and his wage with
it, and I’d doctor’s bill, and* afi.” ;'
“No, that she didn't,” cried a voice
from the crowd.
“And he’d better be off with his cart,”
cried a man who bad stalked out of the
entry of the house near which the crowd
had gathered, rolling iip his sleeves.
“Look here, good' people,” explained
the man who held the machine. t I don’t
want to do this. I obey orders, or lose
my place. She’d better go to the master,
and talk to him—not to me.”
“I’ve been,” said the woman. “He’s
made of stone. I told him he’d starve, us’.
He will. Take it.” And she leL go her

’ But ip tj’e , plp<;e of'those rough/red

forward, and now spoke. ’ *' .
“Stop,” she said. ‘‘Will you let this
' woman keep her machine if Tpay you ten

i “Them’s the master’s orders, miss,” re-
■ plied the man, “and I’d be glad to do it,

i Then while the crowd gathered * close,

sum named from her purse, received in ~

Moreover, when the machine had been*

tale.
“But I don't mind anything now,
misa,” sobbed the narrator. Now the
machine is my own, I don’t mind how I
work. And the only great tug is the
landlord—four dollars a month for rent.”
“As much a month as- a yard of that
trimming!” thought Emma, with a little
pang.
And before she turned from the door
she had emptied her purse, and had paid
tlirec months’ rent in advance.
“ Your husband will be well and at
work by that time, ” she said; and there
were no regrets for the lost fringe as she
took her way homeward. Nay, she was
not even stung to the soul when Madame

volumes. “The black lace from your

A Jdei House for Worship df Chinamen
in NBw YoHt,
Fedestrians up and down Chatham
street; Or as it is now known, Park Row,
New York City, have noticed an unusu
ally large number of Chinamen arrayed
infiioiiday attire passing ih and out of the
narrotv hallway of Moti Street. It
is.uot an imposing lookiiig entranrife; it'
■opens directly upon a: steep* stairway,
and the only suggestive feature is a strip
of red paper over the doorway, which
looks as if it was a label torn off a pack
age of fire crackers. It bears the name
of “Joss,” and tells the devotedly in
clined Celestial that the temple is up
staifs. EaflV last week the new interior
fittings of the temple j the altaf, tables
and chairs, arrived here from China and
were put in place. Now the unpretend
ing third floor of 202 Mott street con
tains some of the finest specimens of
Chinese art in that city. The altar is of
carved ebony, practically 6 large frame
for the picture of Joss and his attendant
deities, executed on satin in the most
elaborate style of Chinese art, and a heavy
table for holding the incense burners and
votive offerings. As a whole the carv
ings represent the universe; along the
bottom, under the table, is the sea, with
fish, aquatic and the huge turtle
upon which, according to Chinese my
thology, the earth is supposed to rest.
