Every dim iu my business Ik bound to meet with mn who swindle him in one way or Mother. I don't think, however, I hav loit a great ileal of money in late year. Before I tot np tn nuMnes lor . wysrtt I represented large house iu an othr city.

I osed to have to wait a good while aonietluir, but they irenerally paid me in full two warm Ctfts. "But you want to kuow about the beat.' Well, one of the worst 1 ever knewwaa a fellow who wan here for ome time a a newspaper man. Hewa on a local paper, and it wa after 1 had gone into business for myself that I met him. lie came into my itore one day with two or three wvll known bttsinr young men whose trade 1 had poewed for a long time. One cf the party, a banker, ordered a fflO unit, and I meas ured him while the other chaffed hiui and examined my tock. About an hour afterwanl thi newspaper man rftnrnd and laid that he wonld like me to make a tuit for him of the awn irnofl lcta by hi friend. I preeaniod he w all risht. took hi wearers; made the tint. tent it to his add rem and waitint for him to come and settle, Bu, he never did, and in a short time he skipped out of town. That waa a dead Iom to me. "That wasn't a bad, howeTer, a a trick that wa rrobseqwniti played npon me. A Ull, ttne looking genUenian came in one day, and after looking over my itork (elected a piece of the most expen tiv goods and ordered a nlt to le inale from it He wanted the unit fiuihd in three day, a he waa going to leave the city, lie wat on hi way aomh. he saw and had already spent more time thiui he had Intended, lie was very polite and appeared to be a man of moan, i In was aim particular as to tue cm ana style of the coat and vest, iutusting upon a collar to the Utter, althnnjrlt the style wa without one. Well, I put off some other work and completed his suit with in the time aTeed upon, and sent it to his hotel about dusk with th bill-. The man brought back the money, four (X) hills, and I put this iu the safe anil went home. The next day when 1 sent my deposit to the bank those four $H) bills were returned marked 'eonntnrieit Well, perhaps 1 wasn't mad. 1 sent down to the hotel, but of course the man had gone. 1 placed the matter in the hand of the detectives, but they riuirtl to find the swindler. Many years after ward 1 saw hi picture in a rogues' gal lery, and learned that he wa one of the most expert counterfeiters in tne coun try. I think he i now in a western pen itentiary, but it was a long time before the government officer captured ana convicted hira. A QCaSTIOH Of RXPANHION. "One of the funniest swindle ever clayed upon me wa by a government clerk, who wa brought to me by the chief of his division, for whom I bail made clothe for years. I measured tho man myself, and wa particularly care ful about the shoulder and chest, as 1 pride myself upotf the fit of my coats. 1 aent the suit to his boarding house on Saturday night, and the next Mmday morning, bright and early, he was down to the store very much enraged because the coat and vest diJiu fit him. He aid the trousers wore all right, but the ooat and vest were altogether too small. I sent up for the garment and com pared their measurements with those 1 had marked on the books and found that they corresponded exactly; so I wrote a note asking him to call in aitnr nis of fice was out in the evening, lie did so, and I asked him to try on tho coat and Test He went into the back part of the tore, and when he-came forwaw with the garment on they would not meet by at least three inches. I was nonptut..! I wa certain that 1 had made the correct measurements, but there was the mini. and the coat and vest evidently didn't fit 1 offered to make him others, but he waa mad and wouldn't have it. Ho paid me for the trousers and was going to leave the coat and vest on my muni. "Just as he waa going out of tho door be turned and said he was sorry that I'd made luch a blunder, for he liked the goods. He added in a reflective sort of way that he might split np the bark of the vest and set a piece iu so that he could button that, but that the coitt would always have to stay open, i wial It he laid he'd Rive mo fc!0 for the gar meats, the price of which was I .told him 1 would prefer to make him a new coat and vest, but ho wouldn't have it. and finally, rather than run the risk of not getting rid of the garments at all I let him have them for $20. About week after I saw him at the theatre with the coat buttoned over his chest- it was a Prince Albert and fitting hiin beautifully. I couldn't understand it until I was told that he had formerly been a contortionist, and had the power to throw out his chest far beyond it normal ine. He had jtwt beaten me out of tl5. I didn't make any more clothe for him, but I heard that he 'beat' another tailor in the same way. Washington Star. t. . Girt Jueana of Unrope. During the present century throe girl queen have, before the advent of Queen Wilhelmina, almost simultaneously as cended the throne of a European na tion: Maria da Gloria of Portugal, Isa bella of Spain and Victoria of En gland. The two first had the mis fortune of attaining to the regal power while still mere children. There has been a wide difference between the his tories of the spoiled daughter of Hpaia and the headstrong Portuguese damsel and that of the grand and conscientious maiden of 18 who was called npon to reign over Great Britain. By her close affiliations, through her sister, the Duch ess of Albany, to the English court, Queen Emma will probably profit by the example set by the Duchess of Kent in the education of her daughter.

What On AwwmplUbail by Head to, I knew boy, rap of lad, who almost needed a high chair to bring bitu up to the general level of the dining table, who liked to read the encyclopedia. He wa alway hunting round in the big books of the encyclopedia book ahont hi owu side for what he wanted to know. II dug in it a another boy would dig iu the wood for aasaafra root It apired that he wa interested lu natural history and natural phe nomena, lie asked quest lou of tlu book, exactly a he would ask a living authority, and kept at it till he got an swers. He knew how to read. Soou that boy was an authority on earth quake. He liked to have the conversa tion at table turn on earthquake, for then he teemed to be the tallest persou at tho table, 1 unppoa there wa no earthquake anywhere of any Important but that he could tell where it occurred and what damage it did, how many houiKHi It buried, and how inauy people it killed, and what shape it left th country it had shaken. Prom that he went on to try to dis cover what caused thane dlMurbanoe, and this led him Into other Investiga tions, and at lut into th study of electricity, practical a well a the oretical. He examined machine and invented inm-him-, and kept on read ing, and presently he was an expert in electricity. He knew how to put iu wire and signal and bells, and to do a number of practical and useful things, and almost liefore he was able to enter the high school he had a grrat deal of work to do iu the city and three or four men tinder him. These men under hliu had not read a much about electricity as he had. I'harlo Dudley Warner in St Nicholas. Abatrael Number It I not easy for children to conceive of number apart from sensible objects, for this reason our el mentary books in arithmetic present plc'ure of l!i article named. The child learns to add and subtract simply by counting, rttieh a practice has it place n lust rut Jon, but it apt to be enoourngd too fur. The re sult is the ridiculous habit of counting one's fingers tn the v ork of arthmetio. The Wullaebian pear ant is said to per form all mnlliplicatit ualovfi-ur time four by this method. It is evident from tlx word which we use for th several figure, digit, that tl-ey orlgimvly repre sented so niAiiy lingers. The circumstance aJTords a rou for the decimal systeut of counting. Th highest number that could tie expressed by a show f linger wo ten. We know that an early system of couutiug was by fives, or bj the single hand. Perhaps our duodecimal sysUiu of counting by twelve, or the dolen, grew out of th practice of counting the two hand to gether with the ten lingers. The score, or twenty, waa a primitive assemblage of fiuein and toes. . It came into use at a lime wlwn people went barefoot The French use this method in forming their tens; four twenties is French for eighty. The word "score came from the practice of notching a stick when one had connted to twenty. lu the Maya dialect of C'eutrul America the word for twenty is the same as for man. It represented hi value lu mathe matical calculation. Youth' Couiutn ton Military IteMnratluo la t'.arly Kanuu. All along the outer margin of the r ervutUm were groud the ctui of em igrants; not many of them, but enough to present a curious and picturesque ight There were a few teuts, but moet of the emigrant slept in or under their wagon. There were no women or children In these camp, and the hurdy men had been so well seasoned t their pant exierieni-es, journeying to this fur western part of the territory that they did not miud the exposure of sleep ing on the ground and under the ojien skiiw. Soldier from the fort, off duty and curious to hear the news from the outer world, came lonnging around the camp and chatted with the emigrants In that cool, superior manner that marks the private soldier w lieu lie meets a civil tan on an equal footing away from the haunt of men. The boys regarded these uniformed military servant of the government of the U nited States with great respect, and even with some awe. These, they thought to themselves, were the men who were there to fight Indluiis, to protect the bor der, und to keep back tho rising tide of wild hostilities that might, if it were not for them, sweep down njiou tho feeble territory and even inundate the whole western country.

A short walk from our camp through the woods, north or south, wonld take us to plitutatious large enough to supply a regiment with food. Cms time wv came to a group of dwarf vil lage whence a broad path six feet wide communicated with another group three mile distant. ' This road wits a revela tion. It informed us that the trilie was mora tli an usunlly powerful; that it was well established: that the chief possessed power, and was permitted to exorcise it Outaide of tlis great kingdom of Uganda we had not seen In Africa a cut road longer than half a mile. The huta in every pygmy camp were of a tortoise back figure. The doorways were not more than three feet high, and were placed at the ends, one boing for daily uno, and the other, whioh fronted the bush, for escapo. Those for constant convenience looked out on the circular common and pointed to the conter, where stood the tribal chiefs but, as though the duty of every household wag to watch over the safety of him who ruled the community. We rarely found a hut higher than four feet six Inches. In length they va ried from seven to ten foet, while the width would be from four and a half feet to seven. In what appeared to be old es tablished camps we found rough cot constructed, which were raised a few incite above the ground, af Ur the styl of our own forest couches.
