The thieves have access to the luggage vans, and work while the train is in motion.

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 aud vulgarity because it is on an average of u small, whimsical, petu lont 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 malinoe »lays. They fill up that portion of a seat in a suburban train they do not occupy with parcels. If other females no less intrepid ill absorbing the prerogatives of others than they, but a iittlo behind them in appearing, ask for the space to be cleared they grumble and scowl, adopting the most ungracious manner jiossible. A sweet faced y oung woman, accompanied by mi old lady with white hair, slowly walked t .rough n suburban car the other afternoon. The young lady paused wherever some well dressed woman sat with the 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 ail opj»o- site (lirectiou. z\t last the young lady shopped before one woman whoso fa< e indicated the porsession of a kindly nature. “Madam,” she said sweetly, “will you all«»© me to assist you in disposing of your pack ages, so that my mother can sit down beside you?" The amiability in the placid fare of the woman addressed was dispelled as by magic ut the gently voiced request. “I want to keep my things together con veniently,” was the ungracious reply. The answer npi»eared to nettle the girl into »wife 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. “Tiiut bas nothing to do with it. I hurried to catch tho train, so that I could have plenty of room, and people 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 moi her sit down here notwithstanding,” was the cool answer, as the young lady pile»l the articles on the floor and assisted her mother to the place they had occupied. “I shall speak to the conductor,” snapped tho owner of the things. “It’s a pretty bow- de-do if people wh » have a lot of packages have got to divide their seats with others who have none.” When the conductor cam© through the belligerent dame contented herself with merely glaring significantly on tfcrgirf, Abo stood leaning against the end of tho car. In shops where the customers and clerks are nearly ull women the manners of both buyer and seller are 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 aixl exiiectant of rudeness on the part of the patron, and prepare for it by the re-sumption of a manner no less objectionable than tho on© they regent. They aA>tbe continual victims of the thoughtless selfishness and petty stings of their sex. Their patience i< ripped and frayed to threads every duy by the uncalled ¿or demands of idle women who are not shop- .»ere, because they seek the stores for amuse ment and not to buy. Th© woman who lias nothing to do is very apt to seek the shops for entertainment. She loes not stop to consider that her divertise- ment is taken at the »*xj»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 Io sell them. She is careless of the fact that if this young person’s book at tlio week's end makes but a small showing in -ales, while her hours have been taken up in -bowing goods, her ability as a saleswoman is doubted in consequence. She forgets that the result is at the best not the increase of alary the girl is hoping for. It is not only th© possible but frequent result of ber anvuse- ment that the girl is “laid off" or discharged for incompetency.—Janet Dale in Chicago News. L©arn to Lighten Your Labors.

JOSH His BILLINGS* BEGINNING. Interview with Artemus Ward—A Haiidnome Income in Due Time. 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 continued to be poor. He thought he said humorous things and wise ones too, but somehow nobody else could see them. Observing Arteinu» 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. Hs recognized the fact that a man must have no spell in this country and act under its influ ence, but that he cun have a misspell and grow well off. Now, Josh Billings was really a somewhat profound person with a good deal of Benjamin Franklin’s happy faculty of saying a wise thing in a quaint way. But they would uot 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 and made an appointment with him at a bookseller’s. Josh waited there two or three hours, until he felt that he might be kicked out and came away and suw Artemus Ward no more. It was the same with all the rest of them; they were poor sera tellers for a livelihood, getting grins out of men instead of guineas. So Josh Billings resolved to capitalise bls humor in the best way he could. He sold himself to a story paper at so much a week, prepared an almanac once a year and lectured whenever he could get a chance. In that way be 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 l«st 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 had kept the funny papers he had written in his youth and got nothing for them. Said 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 been 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. “Quit© right. One gentleman in the whole sale liquor business down town is the hardest customer to plea.se we ever had. His feet, in addition to being large and flat, have low in steps and are garnished with big bunions of the most painful kind. Consequently his shoes are made to give plenty of room to the excrescences, and when completed are not unli .© an embossed map, with hills and dales distinctly outlined.” “What does such a pair of shoes cost!” “Eighteen dollars. They are made of the finest kid, soft and pliable, and two pairs 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 be intended to be married, be ordered an elegant pair of pumps. The leather was specdally prepared in France and imported for the work. The hand sewing was most exquisite, and tho pumps were really a work of art; but although Vr. Tilden didn’t admire them be paid the bill—$25— without a murmur.” “Did be take tuo shoes!” “No; so we 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 $1.5 and carried off the prize. They were the daintiest little pair of 'sixes’ wo ©ver turned out.” “What are some of the annoyances you have to contend with!” “They nre so numerous you would hardly care to print them, but 1 will enumerate a few. 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 pah's 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—boro that way, I fancy—but the fact remains that he has no toes. Ho is a pretty tough man to please. Another man in tho employ of the city gov ernment has the most monstrous great toes I ever saw. It seems to me they must be nearly two and a half inches long. They are out of all proportion to the other toes, and uecessarily his shoes are very bard to make.” —New York Sun. Lord Rochester, eldest son of the Earl of Carnarvon, comes of nge this week and In herits the Chesterfield estates. When bio father dies ho will be one of the wealthiest of peers, as bis Income will exceed $500,000 an nually. SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR For all Disease* of th« Liver, Kilueys, Stomach aad Splaon.
