However deferential and courteous women are in their bearing toward men, they are far too apt to be rude to their own sex. They indulge in presumptions toward each other that men of their class would never think of inflicting upon men. This dis courtesy of women toward their kind is none the less rudeness and vulgarity because it is on an average of a small, whimsical, pctu lant type. It is not only evidence of im perfect breeding, but supreme, though un conscious, selfishness. They give scant heed to each other’s rights. They push and jostle each other at theatre entrances on matinee days. They fill up that portion of a seat in a suburban train they do not occupy with parcels. If other females no less intrepid in absorbing the prerogatives of others than they, but a littlo behind them in appearing, ask for the space to be cleared they grumble and scowl, Adopting the most ungracious manner possible. A sweet fncod young woman, accompanied by an old lady with white hair, slowly walked t .rough a suburban car the other afternoon. The young lady paused wherever some well dressed woman sat with tho evidences of her day’s shopping beside her. Not one made a motion of invitation to share her seat. Each woman looked intently down or in an opj»o- site direction. At last the young lady stopped before one womi’i whose face indicated the possession of a kindly nature. “Madum,” she said sweetly, “will you allow me to assist you in disposing of your pack ages, so that my mother can sit down beside you?” The amiability in the placid face of the woman addressed was dispelled as by magic at the gently voiced request. “I want to keep my things together con veniently,” was the ungracious reply. The answer appeared to nettle the girl into swift self assertion. Sho placed one band on the seat and looked the speaker in the-face with straight determination. “Did you pay two fares?” she inquired. “Thut has nothing to do with it. I hurried to catch the train, so that I could have plenty of room, and peoulo who are late have no right to come disturbing those who have taken pains to get hero first.” “Ah! 1 think I will have my mother sit down here notwithstanding,” uas tho cool answer, as the young lady pile« 1 the articles on tho floor and assisted her mother to the place they had occupied. “I shall speak to the conductor,” snapped the owner of the things. “It’s a pretty liow- de-do if people win have a lot of packages have got to divide their seats with others who have none.” When the conductor came through the belligerent dame contented herself with merely glaring significantly on tlWgirf, wbo stood leaning against the end of the car.

JOSH BILLINGS* BEGINNING. His Interview with Artemus Ward—A Handsome Income in Due Tima. A more thrifty person was Josh Billings. He was an auctioneer in the country parts of New York state, who bad tried all sorts of things and coutinucxl to be poor. He thought he said humorous things and wise ones too, but somehow nobody else could see them. Observing Artemu» Ward to misspell all his humorous articles, Josh Billings undertook the same with one of bis. Immediately it took wings and began to fly over the land. Ha recognized the fact that a man must have no spell in this country and act under its Influ ence, but that he can have a misspell and grow well off. Now, Josh Billings was really a somewhat profound person with a iruod deal of Beujumin Franklin’s happy faculty of saying a wise thing in a quaint way. But they would not pass unless they were misspelled. There was no sense whatever in his misspelling of them. They were not misspelled in either the negro, the Irish or Yankee dialect; it was nothing but arbitrary misspelling without any method. When he obtained some currency he came down to New York city to see the other humorists and see if they would not take him into their guild. Artemus Ward received him after his lecture with profuse compli ments anil made an appointment with him ata bookseller’s. Josh waited there two or three hours, until be felt that he might be kicked out and came away and saw Artemus Ward no more. It was the same with all the rest of them; they were poor scratchers for a livelihood, getting grins out of men instead of guineas. Bo Josh Billings resolved to capitalise his humor in the best way he could. He sold himself to a story paper at so much a week, prepared an almanac once a yearaud lectured whenever he could get a chance. In that way he rolled up an income of perhaps $5,000 a year, and saved it and handed it over to his wife and family. I saw him towards the lest of his days ap pearing in the New York hotels, a rather lonely man whom hard work had somewhat deprived of his power to be quaint and origi nal. He said to me that be wished he bad kept the funny ¡tapers he had written in his youth and got nothing for them. Baid he: “Every one of them is worth $100 now, but I can’t make them as I could then.” This man, under a better organized society, would have Iteen taken out of the mere circus business of life and put to use and have given more pleasure; and his collected works would have some unity about them.—George Alfred Townsend. Men with Funny Feet. “Queer customers? Well, I should say so,” said a Broadway shoemaker, who numbers among his patrons many men of local and national renown. “Yes, we have odd men to deal with.” “And many funny feet to fit,” suggested the reporter. “Quite right. One gentleman in the whole sale liquor business down town is tho hardest customer to please we ever had. His feet, in addition to being large and flat, have low in- :teps and are garnished with big bunions of the most painful kind. Consequently his •hoes are made to give plenty of room to the excrescences, and when completed are not unli »e an embossed map, with bills and dales distinctly outlined.” “What does such a pair of shoes cost I” “Eighteen dollars. They are made of the finest kid, soft and pliable, and two ¡tail's will last a year if carefully dressed three times a week. Samuel J. Tilden was a good patron of ours. Several years ago, when it was ru mored that he intended to be married, be ordered an elegant pair of pumps. The leather was specially prepared in France and imported for the work. The hand sewing was most exquisite, and the pumps were really a work of art; but although r. Tilden didn’t admire them he paid tlie bill—$25— without a murmur.” “Did bo take tuo shoes?” “No; so wo placed them in our show win dow, where they were much admired. One day a young swell came along, took a fancy to them, paid $15 anu carried off the prize. They were the daintiest little pair of ‘sixes' wo ever turned out.” “Wliat are some of the annoyances you have to contend with?” “They are so numerous you would hardly care to print them, but I will enumerate a fevf. Among tho worst men we have to fit and suit is a Washington market butcher, whose left foot is larger, longer and slimmer than the right. Sometimes we have to make threo pairs of boots for him before he is suited. Then we have a Sixth avenue con fectioner who has no toes on either foot. I don’t know how he lost them—born that way, I fancy—but the fact remains that he lias no toes. Ho is u pretty tough man to please. Another man in tho employ of the city gov ernment has the most monstrous great toes I mrer saw. It seems to me they must be nearly two and u half inches long. They are out of all proportion to the other toes, and uecessarily his shoes are very hard to make.” —New York Sun.

When bis father dies he will be one of the wealthiest of peers, as his Income will exceed $500,000 at»- Dually. qAKE-^=— SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR For all Diaeue, ol th.
