Frank Ensrllsh Servants.
The English servants, whether they
prove better when engaged, are certain
ly franker than American servants in
declaring their weaknesses In adver
ting for employment. The columns
of a L-ondon paper disclose their amia
ble candldness. In the first advertise
ment the applicant confesses to "drink
a temptation, but not an Inebriate;" the
uext pleads as her recommendation
that she is "faithful, but plain of
speech;" a third requires a place -where
"manual work Is light," but does not
say of what intellectual work she Is
capable, while a fourth Is described as
a "dishonest girl of seventeen." Should
the mistress be too hypercritical to en
gage any of the above attractive serv
ants she has still another opportunity?
perhaps "she will b* willing to train
for domestic service a rough coster
girl desirous of redeeming character."
Bia Trade.
"And yon say you have a trade?"

"No'm, de perliee and de jewelers are

The Baldhended Battle.
The staid, dignified and homely bald
headed eagle, the glorious emblem of
the American republic, mates but onoa
and lives with his one mate until be or j
she dies. If left a widower?even a 1
young widower? the bahlheaded eagle
never mates again. He remains alona j
and disconsolate In the nest on the
rocky crag or In the branches of a tall
pine that formed his domicile while bis
mate was alive. No other female eagle
can tempt him to forsake his discon
solate life.

IIow General Butler Loat ft florae.
While in front of Petersburg General
tutler received information that his
favorite horse, Almond Eye, had been
accidentally killed by falling into a
ravine. Upon the departure of his in
formant he ordered an Irish' servant to
go and skin him.
"What, is Almond Eye dead?" asked
Pat
"What's that to you? Do as I bid
you and ask no questions."
Pat went about his business and in
an hour or two returned.
"Well, Pat where have you been all
this time?" sternly demanded the gen
eral.
"Skinning the horse, yer honor."
"Does it take nearly two hours to
perform suc-j an operation?"
"No, yer honor, but then, yob see, it
tuck bout half an hour to catch him,"
replied Pat.
General Butler cast upon his servant
such a ferocious look that Pat thought j
be meditated skinning an Irishman in \
revenge for the death of his horse.

Don't think that your knowledge of

artificial light a ruby where tha emer
ald was a moment before? a tawny
