The. young man had been a groom at tin; riding schsl an I had also 1 n em ployed at a sale stable. Still, the knowl edge that he had acquired at these places did not serve him well, now that he was engaged as clerk in a grocery store on Sixth avenue. One day a young lady came ia the store and asked the ch-ik if they had any horseradish. '"Ilossradish? 1 should say we have," exclaimed the young man. "We prob ably have ihe m or-t remai'kable lmss-radi.-di in the market." ;rid he pulled down a bottle, covered wit h Ihe dust of ages, and rolh-d it along the counter. "Observe its gait," he continued with enthusiasm. "Tin-re's a ho-sradish that I can recommend. There's an A No. 1 family hossradish. I can warrant it to work anywhere. It will drag a family carriage, on a heavy track, in :t." The young lady looked at the clerk with some astonishment. She wanted the horseradish, however, and ventured to ask if it was strong. "Strong?" echoed the clerk: "why, it's as strong as a steam stump puller. It's the strongest hossradish that ever looked through a collar. You can take it right out of your phaeton, after a wdiirl around Central park, hitch it to a stone boat, and if it doesn't pull more; than a loco motive I'll knock it in the head. Fact is, it's a heavy draught hossradish, with the swiftness and endurance of Salvator." "I meant to ask," said the young lady, somewhat confused, "if it is sharp does it bite?" "Bite? No; it's gentle as a sucking dove; wouldn't bite the smallest child. It seems kind o' sad like when it has to take the bit in its mouth. Oh, no; it wouldn't bite a piece of molasses candy. And kick? You couldn't make that hossradish kick if you tickled it with a straw," and the clerk punched the bottle in the ribs as proof of its excellent dis position. The yonng lady did not seem entirely satisfied with the recommendation, and took the bottle up to examine it more closely. "That's right, said the affable yonng man; "look it over carefully. Examine it closely for ringbone, spavin, quarter crack, heaves, thumps, mumps, bumps, dumps, grumps or anything else under the shining sun. If you find it is not as sonnd as a dollar, the hossradish is yours without costing you a red cent, and with a nice set of silver mounted harness thrown in. Shall I wrap it up?" The j-oung lady said she would not take it along now but might call later with a halter to lead it home. River and Driver. No Seat, No Sermon. Once having to preach at a church in Regent street, on arriving at the door Bishop Wilberforce encountered his friend Mrs. A in the act of returning to her carriage. "What, going away?" "Only because I can't get in." "Do you mean that you really wish to stop?" "I came on purpose." "Then take my arm." The crowd at the door wa3 excessive. At last the beadle appeared, to whom the bishop in his blandest manner, said: "You will be so good as to give this lady the best seat in the church." 'Impossible, sir church quite full!" The bishop calmly, but with emphasis, repeated hi3 orders. "Quite impossible!" repeated the bea dle. "I tell you, sir, the church is quite full." "Oh, but," was the rejoinder, "I won't preach if you don't!" This alarming threat at once opened Bumble's eyes. "Oh, I beg pardon, my lord," winking. "This way, marm." And lie deposited Mrs. A in the churchwardens' luxurious empty pew under the pulpit. London Tit-Bits. Wire Finer Than Hair. We are at work just now on some pretty small wire. It is l-500th of an inch in diameter finer than the hair on your head, a great deal. Ordinary fine wire is drawn through steel plates, but that wouldn't do for this work, because if the hole wore away ever so little it would make the wire larger, and that would spoil the job. Instead, it is drawn through what is practically a hole in a diamond, to which there is, of course, no wear. These diamond plates are made by a woman in New Y'ork, who lias a monopoly of the art in this country. The wire is then run through machinery, which winds it spirally with a layer of silk thread that is .0015 of an inch in thickness even finer than the wire, j-ou pee. This wire is used in making the receiving instruments of ocean cahh , the ffilvanometers used in testing cables and measuring insulation of covered i yrires. Interview with a Manufacturer. A Waste of Money. j An actor told the following story the ! other evening: He was on a train which was coming into New York. Iu the seat before him sat two countrymen who were evidently on their way to the theater. They began to talk .'ibo;:t actors, and one of them said: "These actors get awful big salaries. I don't see how they can afford to pay 'em so much. Now there's X . They say he gets $C0O a week and the cast of char acters. Just think of it! Two hun dred dollars and the cast of char ac ters! And the cast of char ac ters! That seems a wicked waste of money!" New York Tribune. Economy I-j Wealth. i Amy I confess that I love you. Jack; but tell me, how could you support a wife?

"I had an hit -res! i .Mg expenetiee." said Mr. George Boniface, dr. "I happened to be passing one of the dime museums when I noticed a large placard announc ing the appearance of the elastic skin man. Having never seen this curiosity bought a ticket and entered the mu seum. 1 was startled by the resemblance which the elastic skin man bore to some Due I had seen. I could not recall tiie name, but the resemblance haunted me like a dim ghost tint had come out of long ago. While I stood wondering the reporter for a local paper came up to in terview the elastic skin man, and I heard the elastic skin man say: 'My name is D. B. Hodges. In Isiol I was agent for Uumsey & Newcomb's minstrels. Since then I have been idle.' "In a few moments," continued Mr. Boniface, "who should come along but Arthur Cambridge, Charley Griste and Gus Pennoyer. They shook hands with the elastic skin man and began talking over old times. "'Let's see. Charley,' asked the elastic 6kin man, 'what show were you travel ing with when I first met you?' " 'Upon my word, I don't remember,' said Mr. Griste. 'The first show 1 ever traveled with was a den of performing lions, run by well, now, it's curious that I can't recall the name!' " 'Was it Van Amburgh?' asked the elastic skin man. " 'Bless j-our heart, no,' said Mr. Griste. 'Why, lie taught Van Amburgh the business. Funny I can't think of his name. He was a great friend of old Bill Coup's oh, yes, now I recall the name; it was Daniel!'" Eugene Field in Chi cago News. Where Nobody Starves. Within a hundred miles of the east coast of Australia no native in an uncrip pled condition has ever died from lack of digestible food a rather comprehensive term in a country where fern roots are boiled like potatoes, and snails and grass hoppers are considered tidbits. Strange to say, the martyrs of that horrid diet get old, as a proof that freedom from care is, after all, the main condition of longevity. A similar phenomenon may be observed in the villages of Central Russia, where mental stagnation pre vails in its ugliest forms, but where charity ami parish poor laws protect every native from the risk of actual star vation. Professor Oswald in Good Words. Two Famous Men Converse. A young woman was favored with a chance to hear two famous poets con verse. She was walking in Cambridge, and saw Longfellow and Low-ell strolling a little way ahead. Her quick step soon brought her near them. She thought to herself. "Now I will get the freshest utterances of two great m"n." Just be fore she overtook them she saw a pretty child coming along, and about to meet them. "What are little girls made of?" said one poet to the other. "Sugar and spice and all that's nice, and that's what little girls are made cf." Christian Union. Canned Frr:;l-i i:i I'ompeii. A curious story is told of the origin ot canned fruits. Years ago, when the ex cavations were beginning at Pompeii, some jars of preserved figs were found in the pantry of one of the buried houses. On being opened the fruit was found to be fresh and good, thus showing that centuries ago the art of preserving fruit was practiced and that we are indebted to the ancients for many a delicious dish. New York World. The biggest natural beehive in the world is that in Kentucky known as the "Mammoth Beehive." It is in reality a huge cave, the main compartment of which is loO feet high, and whose floor covers ten acres in extent.

One state cf the Union, which derived its usages from French r.nd not from English originals, has no conn'ies at ail.

They are a contradiction in terms. Big dinner parties of ill assorted guests also are failures from a conversationist point of view. A fireside, or a table, round if possible, and. say, four or half a dozen guests, are sufficient. More will break up into separate knots, and fewer mean a tete-a-tete. "I had," says Tho reau, "at Walden three chairs in my house, one for solitude, two for l i iend ship, three for society." The hermit Thoreau in his hut at Walden was wiser than the man who looks for society in a crush. An unhappy husband, living in Port land place, whoso wife inflicted huge parties upon him, was standing iu a very forlorn condition leaning against the chimney piece. A gentleman came; np to him and said: "Sir, as neither of us is acquainted with any of the people here, I think we had best go home." Social crowds must not expect the great men amongst them to talk well. She must have been a most, unreasonable person who was disappointed with Na poleon because, when a lot of ladies were presented to him, he only remarked to each of them how hot it was.
