MAID’S EVASIVE ANSWER.
Bar Employer Was Busy and Could
Not Receive Callers—What .
She Told Them
Strange as it may seem, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, there is
a public man in this city who is
blessed or cursed with a tender
conscience that wbrries hitn in
small matters as well as in great.
Among the things that he cannot
justify to himself is the bidding
a servant to say that he is
not at home when In reality he is
Inside his house. At the same
time he is not able to receivs
many visitors who call upon him,
and his only resource was to give
instructions that polite excuse*
should be given. Upon one occa*
sion such instructions wers given
to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with
the readiness and good wit of her
ffiftfrih. ~ T
iThen I?m to be saying, sir, that
youVe tfcft at-home?” the maid in*
quirsd.
“No, Mary, no!” was the reply;
“that would not be true. If any*
one should ask for me, yon must
jpst put him off—give him soms
evasive answer, you know.’*
“I’ll do it, sir, never fear,” was
the maid’s reply. Mary Was as
good as her word.
, Tnat alter noon,, a person or im
portance made }*is appearance,
and was duly sent ayray. Tho
faithful maid reported the cir
cumstance to her employer.
"What did you do, in^
quired the latter, with gome trep
idation.
"Oh, I Just put him off, sir as you
told tne. I gave him an evasive
answer.*
"Yes, but what did you say to
him?”
"Oh, sure he axed me if the boss
was at home, and I said to him:
'Was his grandmother a mon
key?’” _
JAPAN'S RAPID PROGRESS.
Has Converted Herself late a Power
, ful Motion In tfae-Iieo* Quarter
ef a Century.
When I visited Yeddo and the
por^* of Japan in the1 winter of
1860 61 ’the country was ruled
upon the most exclusive Japanese
methods, wrote Lord Woiseley in
the Cosmopolitan in 1890. The
people were held in subjeeticn by
a hereditary nobility who ruled
them with a rod of iron. They
were then far behind China in all
matters connected with sea pow
er, for in order to prevent any
communication with foreign
j places all Japanese junks were, in
S accordance with the law*, con
structed with low, open sterns,
so that they dared not venture be
yond a few mites from shore.'
No one can be blind to the enor
mous strides in progress Japan
has made, the immense reforms
she haa effected and the powerful
nation she bar converted herself
inte during the last quarter of a
century. The result Is the crea:
tion of a po^feg in the eastern seas
that must in future be always
taken into e©ttSiderfttiott, by west
ern statesmen.
Turkish Beds.
A recent writer on Turkey says:
“Bedsteads are not used by the
Turks. Each room contains a
large cupboard, built into the
wall, in wHdch the bedding is piled
during the day, and at night the
slaves come in when summoned to
make up the beds on the floor,
Other bedrobm requisites, in the
i shape of washstands, dressing
tables and wardrobes, are dis
pensed with as superfluous. Foi
eyeryduy ablution there is a small
washing room with a hole in t!u
floor for the ^ater to escape
through, arid if the hanun would
wash her hands and face only, a
slave brings the ewer and basir
; and pours the water over hei
( bands. For special ablutions sh<
1 will go either"to her own private
i ho,mruam or to the public baths
‘ She ‘does her hair,’ or has it dqtu
for her, seated cross-legged in hei
corner of the divan; and the oh
, walnut-wood chests and coffers ii
f her treasure-room suffice to stori
her gauzes and brocades, her silk
f and embroideries.”
^ The Drum Major.
a As a matter of course, the drun
t • major belongs to the band, but b
' giTes one the impression that th
band belongs to him. — Chicag
