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.
In shops where the customers and clerks
are nearly all women the manners of Loth
buyer an<l seller nre frequently abominable
toward each other. The women in suit de
partments wear an air of defensive indiffer
ence unless the customer they chance to have
is one well known to them and a good pur
chaser. The saleswomen are accustomed to
and expectant of rudeness on the part of the
patron, and prepare for it by the risMimption
of a manner no less objectionable than the
one they resent.
They a^'tbo continual victims of the
thoughtless selfishness and petty stings of
.heir sex. Their patience i< ripped and
frayed to threads every day by the uncalled
tor demands of idle women who are not shop-
.»ers, because they seek the stores for amuse
ment ami not to buy.
The woman who has nothing to d«j is very
•ipt to seek the shops for entertainment. She
loes not stop to consider thnt her divertise-
ment is taken at the ex|»ense of a sister, and
she forgets or does not know that the salesgirl
whose time she occupies in showing her
gowns or wraps is not only hired to display
garments, but to sell them. She is careless
of the fact that if this young (»erson's book at
the week’s end makes but a small showing in
-ales, while her houre have been taken up in
showing goods, her ability as a saleswoman
is doubted in consequence. She forgets that
the result is nt tbeljest not the increase of
alary t he girl is hoping for. It is not only
the possible but frequent result of her unmse-
inent that the girl is “laid off” or discharged
tor incompetency.—Janet Dale in Chicago
News.

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.
Lord Rochester, eldest son of the Earl of
Carnarvon, comes of age this week and In
herits the Chesterfield estates. When bis
father dies he will be one of the wealthiest of
peers, as his Income will exceed $500,000 at»-
