The same clerk has caught a few other expressions in different languages as a result of bis observant facul­ties, which, though they may not sound very elegant In English,, answer his purpose in eliciting the'desired information.

Dl troon l Bearing Meteors. Carbon has now been yielded by meteor­

ites in three Btages of development. Uncrys-tajlized graphite has long been known as a constituent of meteoric irons and stories, and graphite crystals were recently found in a meteoric iron from western Australia, while the report has just been made that small dia­mond corpuscles have been obtained from a meteoric stone which fell in Russia in 1880. It is suggested that these discoveries may point out the road to the artificial produc­tion of the diamond.—-ArkanBaw Traveler.

Overcrowded Desk Drawer*. I save much room in overcrowded desk

drawers by discarding the usual clumsy wooden partitions. Far better is a simple arrangement of extra large pins to separate the various kinds of paper, cards, envelopes, etc. This does away With accumulation of dust in corners, admits of quick rearrange. ment of the spaces at any time without trouble (a great advantage, I find), while the paper is thus more accessible, especially when but a few sheets are left, than if at the bot­tom of a partition.—"H.

New Use for Electric Lights. Electricity is soon to be put to a novel use.

A number of wealthy gentlemen in Newton, Mass., are about to apply electricity to light­ing their sleighs this winter, and at other times to their closed and open carriages. Three cells of batteriesiare to be used, which will furnish three lights of six candln power and will burn for thirty hours. After the electricity is all used up the batteries are taken to some dynamo and recharged. The expense for this charging cannot be over fifty cents each time.—Frank Leslie's.

Jenny was one of the maids in the ladies1

dressing room at a club party one night re­cently, while George, her husband, served the gentlemen as check master in chief and high custodian of the overcoats and goloshes. Jenny came home discouraged and angry. George was jubilant. Reason why: Jenny's cash receipts for nearly a whole night's hard work amounted to- just forty-seven- cents, which was half of what had been taken in. She hail divided equally with her assistant George jingled S7.75 in silver merrily in his trousers pocket, and added to Jenny's depres­sion by asking her sarcastically if she didn't wish she could work for men instead of women.

She expressed herself freely to a reporter on the next day, when George was quite out of hearing.

"Do I always fare as poorly as this when I serve the ladies at parties? No, not always; but I never get half what I ought to get, and I'm not grasping, either. Sometimes I get 12.50; but that's not often. Two or three times I had over $5 as the result of the even­ing's work; but that was when an exception­ally generous lady gave a whole dollar. Once a sad looking lady asked me if I had any children, and when I told her that I had one little girl, she - put down a $2 bill and said, 'Get the little thing something nice with that, and tell her it is from a lady whose little girl has gone away never to come back,' aud then she turned and wiped the tears from her eyes."

"What is the regulation 'tip' which ladies put down on such occasions? I don't mean what they ought to give; but what they really do g i v e r

"Well, I'm sorry to say it's small. It rarely rises above ten cents and more fre­quently drops to a nickel. If each one would give even that much the returns wouldn't be so bad, for the ladies outnumber the gentle­men at every party; but, bless you] any amount of them do not give anything at all. I t would make you ashamed of the whole female race if you could see the way they dodge around trying not to see that anybody is giving anything. The richest dressed ones, who come in carriages, are sometimes the most expert at tha t They spend every cent of their money in things to make them look well—silks, ribbons, jewelry, hair dye and face paint, and grudge every nickel that goes in any other direction. I've learned by ex­perience that often the modestly dressed woman who walks to the party, as we know by the condition of her overshoes, is most likely to give the attendant in the dressing room a decent fee. She may do this because she knows something of the difficulties of shifting along on little herself, and wants to help us, or she may do it because she doesn't want others to suspect her poverty."

"All maids of the dressing room are not so expert as you in reading character, are they?"

"No; the most of them jump to serve the rich ladies, and turn their backs on the plainly dressed ones. I was that way myself till I learned better. I suppose it's natural to think that people who have money in plenty will give money freely. Anyhow, the whole world acta as if it thought' that; but it's a great mistake, I assure you.''

"What is the method of giving? Do they ; hand the money to you or put it down some­where r |

'"Oh, we always have a saucer, plate or j basket set in a conspicuous place. We are j not like male waiters, W e can't browbeat I people into tipping us. We won't bang | around as they do and make guests feel mean ! and insignificant if they don't comedown with the coin. We pretend not to be expecting ;

anything, I'll tell you a secret. We have to put sotfU1. money on that plate ourselves to ; start with. If we didn't, upon my word, I • believe nobody else wouli . Sometimes I have tried the plan of laying a silver half dollar or dollar on top of the dimes, nickels and pennies. Sometimes it works and some­times it doesn't. It usually has the effect of startling some of the give nothings, any way, ami I secretly enjoy that, although I am making my face as blank as a white plate all the time. Again, would you believe it, some of them see the big piece of money, and at once settle it in their own minds that as somebody has given so generonsly nothing at all is needed from them. So you see, there is no infallible rule for making them come to time on the fee question."

»*Do you have much to do for ladies in the dressiug room?"

"Much to do? Well, I should think so. In addition to helping them put on and off their wraps and overshoes, and being responsible for these articles, we help them to button their gloves, we adjust their drapery, pin it up when it comes to pieces, get them powder and rouge and combs, ami ever so many other things which some of them'continually do cry' for. It's plenty we have to do for them, if you please.*'

'•Are they polite and kind to you?" "(Sometimes, not always. Some are natur­

ally cross rind impatient; some thank us for iriy little service, and some act as though i .iey thought they would lose their reputa­tion iw ladies if they gave us a pleasant word, ^Vo booiiie able judges of good breeding. AVe learn to know shoddy and pretense at a glance. The dressing room has its romances, too. I have seen rivals glare each other iairly out of their slippers after an evening of competition. And I have seen eyes sparkle with the delight of love's young dream. You set; i read poetry; yes, and novels, too, when I get a bit of time from my work. Once a young lady slipped a silver dollar into my hand as 1 uus putting on her cloak, 'I be--came engpg»d this evening,' she whispered, 'to the only man there is in the world. I want to make everybody. as happy as 1 am,' She was a plain little thing, but kind and sweet spoken; but at that moment her face really looked beautiful to me. That was three j ears ago. She was married soon after her engagement, and every time I saw her after that I could see that her dream of hap­piness wasn't, being realized. Poor little thing! I saw her once this winter in the same dressing room, and her plain little face has grown pinched and melancholy. The last time i peeked out of the dressing room* to see her husband as she joined, hiin. I knew immediately by his manner toward her that he didn't cure a rap for her, and the worst of it was that she knew it, too. I beard some of her friends gossiping about her. They said that her husband had married her for money, and that he was an awful flirt and

| was rapidly breaking her heart. Dear, dear me! They who are without money think themselves cursed; and they who have it sometimes find it their greatest enemy. It's too big a problem for my philosophy to solve, I'm sure.*' -New York Press,

UNREST.

I envy those sweet souls that walk serenely On the still heights of being whence they span The pleasant, fruitful valleys lying greenly; In peace—that moonlight happiness of .man, Calm as the wise stars over watching keenly, They walk content to know tho things they can. They heed ao rush of storm clouds rolling under, Nor lightning tongues outleaping Hps of thunder, Nor pause astonished by a sunset wonder. Below those heights, above the warm, green val­

leys, I grapple with each storm that crashes by; Each flying wind cloud with my nature dallies, And sways it like on oak tree towering high; Nor heaven nor earth with my wild spirit tallies, And nothing in them seems to satisfy. From Microcosm to Microcosm still turning, I look beyond, beyond with mighty yearning, A restless heart within my bosom burning. All beauty seems to fade within my clasping; All strength seems weakness after it is gained; All spirit fineness, touched, seems gross and rasp­

ing, All love, insipid, with self loving stained; Nothing seems grand but lies beyond my grasping, Naught noble, but the blessed unattained. The large, warm tears beneath my lids come

creeping; Child like I weep, nor know for what I'm weeping, Something, dear God, beyond my human keeping, tike a frail spider by a threau suspended, My soul swings through infftiitudes unguessed; Strange innuendos dimly comprehended Disturb my being with sublime unrest; O little bird with quivering throat distended, One sweet, recurrent note contents thy breast Only man craves the shocks of change that sever, And hears the earth beneath him moaning never! The heaven above him chanting Its forever.

SIGNALING AT SEA. Sound Issuing from a Fog Gives No Trust­

worthy Indication of It* Source. The danger of changing course in a fog,

after hearing the warning signal of an ap­proaching vessel, cannot be overestimated. Owing to the fact that the direction of the sound is not always evidence of the bearing of its source, one is quite as likely to run into danger as away from i t The rules re­quire that at such times every ship shall go at a moderate rate of speed. This, however, is not sufficiently explicit Results quite as serious are likely to occur if the great iron ships of the present day collide while going at a moderate a* well as at a high rate of speed, and this fact induces too many ship­masters to rush through a fog, believing that in reducing the t ime in the dangerous sone they reduce the number of possible encoun­ters. This it a valid argument while the interpretation as to what constitutes a mod­erate rate of speed is left to the individual conviction or convenience of the shipmaster. This matter can only be treated conclusively by international agreement The difficulty in solving the problem will not be in fram­ing rules for action but in finding apparatus which will indicate early enough the direc­tion and course of an approaching ship. *

A s already pointed out, sound issuing from a fog gives no trustworthy indication of the direction of its source. The writer remem­bers two cases in his own experience near Newport, when the sound from the fog horn at Beaver Tail seemed to come from several directions, each 10 or 15 degs. apart, and there is a well known case where a trans­atlantic steamer, bound to New York, going direct but slow, and sounding her whistle, finally picked up a pilot who declared that he had heard the blast for half an hour, and that the steamer had been sailing around him in a circle. The subject of sound sig­nals has received much attention from scien­tists, who have long pointed out the diffi­culty of determining direction by means of the ear alone, and the courts have recog­nized this fact in passing upon questions arising out of the errors of mariners due to deceptive audition. In the suit growing out of the collision between the Edam and Le-panto, where the latter had made a mistake of 45 degs. in the direction of the former and sunk her iu consequence, the court held,"that an error of five points (56 1-4 deg.) in locating a vessel by the sound of her whistle in a fog is not necessarily a fault under the proved aberrations in the course of sound,"

It Is very evident that the present instru­ment used for warning, the steam whistle, is inadequate. Even if it indicated direction and were so manipulated as to signal the course it is not sufficiently powerful to be heard far enough to give time to maneuver. Some device must be found which will con­vey the warning to a greater distance, so as to enable a ship moving at the rate of a rail­road train to overcome her momentum and be ready for the emergency. Some of our most successful inventors are turning their attention to this subject, and it looks as though the question of communication; be­tween ships was about to be settled satisfac­torily. The knowledge of tho course of a neighboring vessel will eliminate a very troublesome element, but if the question of the direction of the danger remains undeter­mined the traveler and the shipper will still have many risks to run,—Lieut George L. Dyer in The Epoch.

A New Ink Wanted. There is scarcely a day on which the lead­

ing stationers do not hear of or have offered to them a newly invented writing ink. In spite of all the kinds of ink there are it seems tbatthe ri£Ut kind is still lacking, and a vast fortune awaits the man who is to bring it oat. It must be a fluid that writes black at once, that cannot be rubbed or scratched from the surface of the paper, and that will never fade. The latter is the main thing.

Faces Seen In Chicago. Walk up State street, ride on a street car,

stand around a suburban depot—how many daffodils do you see? How many faces that bear evidence of sunshiny hearts? How many eyes that lighten with pure and kindly inner fires?

You will see tobacco impregnated men expector­ating on staircases where women are forced to trail their skirts; you will see cadaverous faces, where the abuse of hygienic laws has left its death-like mark; you will see untidy people, who ought to be corralled like wolves and kept from blighting the pure air with their noisome presence; you will see lazy eyes and suspicious, hawk-like brows, and sensual lips, and cruel mouths, and idiotic chins, and pinched and mincing gaits, and powdered and painted cheeks, and artificial bangs and frizzes: but tell me, oh, tell me, for the love of sweet heaven, where will you see anything better than this sad category i How often will you encounter a face that you will take on trust? or an eye that you know borrows its light from heaven? or a manner that is sweet and cordial as the breath of a rose in the dow; Number them on your Angers, my dear, and only use one hand in a day's trav­eling.—"Amber'' in Chicago Journal.

Instead of taking notes w hen they in­terviewed him, they conversed with him in a chatty way, and, much to his surprise, bis answers would all appear correctly in the pai>ers. In England interviewing was done by careful shorthand writers. "I thought a reporter the other day had given his imagi­nation a little excursion iu writing about me," he said, "but I afterward discovered that I had done him an injustice. 1 was in­troduced to the children of a large school in the city, and made them a little speech. When I left the school ono of the smaller pu­pils said to her teacher: 'What a wonderful man; he has only been here two weeks, and how well he sj>eaks English.'
