A day or two ago tho writer was iutro
iluecil to u well fel anil fashionably dressed
ntau of about -M in u prominent cafe. The
pair met once since tho introduction. On
this lost occasion tho gentleman of 40 was
cleanly but very shabbily attired. He
smiled upon shaking hands and looking down
the front of an ulster four size.- too large for
him, said: ''This is my business suit."
The writer is highly endowed with curios
ity, but us it would be manifestly pronounced
bod tu-ste to usk a question relative to the
gentleman's reasons for getting himself up so
shabbily, he limited hia curiosity to throw ing
an inquiring glance at his new acquaintance.
Tho inquiring glance did tho business.
"When wo met the other night," said tho
other, shoving his hands deep in the., jiockcts
of his ulster, "I was togged up, but it wouldn't
suit me to wear sueh clothing In my business.
I don't wish to appear prosicrou: before tho
people I mostly do business with. It might
injure tynhi and then again it might not.
I'm not disposed, however, to tal:o uuy
chances."
AT 'FIVE CEXT3 A WEEK.
"Might" I ask your line of bu -iuess;"
"I am a collector and agent for one- of the
large life insurance companies," and ho
buckled very softly.
The. writci could not wo how shabby
clot 1i-m could help an insurance agent aluiig
and said so.
"Tho great majority of the eo;lo with
v. In mi I do business are quite mv and it'
would not pay to appear too prosperous; not
that I do the poverty act in endeavoring to
jnri-'ase my business. I am connected with
what is called the ,'qdust rial branch of our
company. That is, we i.-suo polices as. icy
us 5 cents per week. You would like to
know, ch, lio-v money can bo made on so
small a margin where the cxpona of running
tho machinery of so largo a business must
necessarily le great? If tho people were to
keep op tiieii , iii;;!if 3 in the long run the
company would lass heavily. Hjw tti.it.,-
exactly where profit comes in. tiny, for i;iv
stance, a child of- 2 years is insured at the
rate of 10 cents per week and lives. You can
safely wager that tho policy will bo allowed
to Iajiso before the young one is 7."
"Even so, I can't eco how ft man can maXQ
a living climbing the stairs ot a tenenieat
here. -there and everywhere, sometimes to
find the parties out, just to collect a niekle
or a dime'"'
."My boy"," remarked tho agent, with a
broad smile, it is nothing when you get
used to it. I should say there me abCut 50-7
persons employed in this business right here
in Iirooklin, tho large majority of whom
make a i'air living. I cleared over C;2,O!)0
last year and have that sum made this. You
can ju.?go of the magnitude this iadustrial
insurance busiiu-t-s ha gr'jwn to when I r?s
suro yon that our company employs iiti
agents and collectors in this city alone. I
should judge about three times as many are
engaged over ia New York. As to what I
makC on. collecting, that would barely sup
port me. I navb Oeuj ten years at this occu
pation and havo made by coII kj iu :b;,;ft
5-13 per week on an average.
TAKES NO NEW ItlSICS.
"I never canvass for new risks. I find it
unnecessary. I am given tho ease of Mrs.
.folic Don, who lias herself, husband and
three cliildreu insured fit the rate of 3 cents
a week. I go there and eolleet fij cents wcei; )y .
The chances are large that before I hav
made five visits Mrs. Doe has for me tho
pleasing intelligence thai her sister, Mrs.
Jiichard Roe, wishes to have her family in
sured on the weekly plan. I make a note of
Mrs. Roe's address and call upon her. She
insures her family pn an aggiegaig puyiiteT?
of 50 cents weekly. I collect tho lirst 'paj
ment and tho office pa-s me $o ten for one
for securing the new risks. It the amount
of the payments were to l) but 10 cents, then
I should receive but SI. For collecting I re
ceive 13 per cent., which, I think, is about
the rate paid by the pther life insurance com
panies engaged in this business. '
"Now suppose, after making two or three
payments, Mrs. Roe should discontinue;
would you be required to return to the com
pany the premium paid you?"'
"Yes, I would have to make it good; but
an old agent like mj"self could take his own
time about it. There is very litllo chance of
a jK-rson lapsing before paj-ing what the
agent's commission amounted to and more.
Do I have much traveling to do? Well, 3-es.
I havo two wards to collect in and have
1,0(11 names on my book. I don't mean to
say that I have to visit 1,001 different pra
ties. It is almost universally the case that
where one member of the family takes out a
policy the others do likewise. I have, h-- -ever,
called at over sixty different residences
in one day. The rates paid vary according j
to age, as you can easily understand. It is !
seldom a person insures and pays as high as j
50 cents a week. Hay a 3 0a; ig man of -1
years paid that amount and died at the end
of a'year; his heirs would receive $930. If
a person dies by suicide or capital "punish
ment the amount of policy will not be paid,
When a ihusou is insured that in case of
death S'-'OO or over has to be paid, then they
are examined by one of the doctors cm
ployed by the insurance comiany. For less
amounts we take chances in nearly every
case." Brooklyn Eagle.
An Object Lesson in I'oliteuess.
Judge Lorin C. Collins taught the proprie
tor of a high toned Clark street restaurant a
wholesome lesson in common politeness tho
other day. The judge, after lunching,
stepicd to tho desk to pay his check. The
proprietor himself happened to be behind
the desk. The judge who, by the way, was
unknown to the restaurauteur laid down a
$5 gold piece. Tho restaurauteur took it up,
looked at it as if ho suspec ted it to bo bogus,
dropixil it twiee on the desk to make it ring,
and then handed out tho change, which con- i
sisted of three silver dollars and some little ;
stuff. The judge, without a word or a
change of expression, took up tho three silver
dollars one at a tinio, looked at them care- j
fully on one side, then on the other, and
rang each of them on the desk heavily. :
Then, as if he were quite satisfied of their !
genuineness, he dropped them into his pocket ;
and walked out, remarking as he opened the !
door: "He might have examined it some- j
where besides under my very nose." Chi- j

SECPET HISTORY OF THE FORMA
TION OF LINCOLN'S CABINET.
Tli I'rrHideiit-rlert Heading tl.o Kloction'
Dispatcher la tlio Telc;r! pli omen at
SprlnlieJd, Ills. How He devolved the
Tidings of Victory.
There is distinguished authority for tho
statement that the work of framing the i;fw
cabinet was mainly jjerformed on the even
ing of the presidential election. After the
jolls were closed on Nov. 0 (so Mr. Lincoln
related a year or two later), the superintend
ent of tho telegraph at Springfield invited
him to eonio and remain in his oflice and
read tho dispatches as they should come in.
He accepted the olFcr; and, rcorting himself
in due time at tho telegraph oIice, from
which all other visitors were excluded at 9
o'clock, awaited the result of the eventful
day.
Soon the telegrams came thick and fast,
first from the ncighlioring precincts and
counties; then from the great western cities,
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and finally
frn the capitals of the doubtful states, In
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the empire
state of New York. Here in this little room,
in the company of two or three silent opera
tors moving about their mystcrio;i:-!y click
ing iiihtrmnciits, and recording with imper
turbable j;raviiy the swift throbbing me,
sages from near and far, Mr. Lincoln read
tho reports as they came in, lir; t in vague
and fragmentary driblets, and later in tho
rising and swelling si ream of cheering news.
There was never a nicer or do:;er calculator
of political probabilities than himself. lie

Silently, Os they were traiiseniied, the op

of his mighty task and responsibilitj; It
sialic as if no Atiddenly horn th whole,
world upon his shotildoii. and could nojj

this time, it is no less true that soiree of thent

Cigarette Ssno'iia'f on the Increase,
Wht?n a pale looking 3Toutig muu entered t
large cigar store on Broadway recently, and
walked up to a counter, a salesman handed
him a ten cent package of cigarettes without
waiting to hear the customer's order. The
young man paid for them, opened the pack
age, and went out puffing nicotine loaded
smoke in tha air without a word being er,,..
changed between him an the salesman.
"You apijear to have learned the wants of
3-our customers pretty well," remarked a gen
tleman who had just invested in a fragrant
Regalia.
"Yes, some of them." And he handed out
another package of cigarette, this time to a
nervous looking young man, with just tho
slightest evide:uo of a coining mustache-un
der his purple hued nose.
"J. saw the statement in : paper a fewdaj's
ago," suggested th gentleman, "to the effect
that the habit of cigarette smoking is on tho
d H-ivase. Do j-ou think it is true;''
"There :tr,V'sa;d the dealer, ",00i),000 of
cigarettes made i i this city every day in tho
3"e-ir, with the exception of Su.ida-s, and.
this enormous number is 0:1 the itici-eas-
every week. There are, i-rhups, .a),00J c"gars
smoked in New York every du, while fully
one-half of the cigarettes made in this city
are consumed here. No u hj to say they are
poisonous. No use to publish that boj-s and
j oung men are made lunatics and are dying
every dav- from the ernieious habit of cigar
ette smoking. They continue to smoke and
the rising generation begins it earh I have
seen and know well the cvi's of it, but it'a

FRENCH VS. AMERICAN JOURNALISM.
IVcull:u itl- of J rem i Writers News of
Secondary Importance.
The national turn for intellectual serious
ness is as conspicuous in the eriodi(-al press
as in literature. The press, in fact, is litera
ture to a degree unknown in England and
among ourselves. Tho "journalist'' and tho
litterateur are not distinct, as one has only
to read the journals that succeed and the
journals that fail to perceive that they are
here. Indeed, our most eminent "journal
ists," who seem now to be getting the iniper
hand of tho "merely liu rary'' writers "and
establishing themselves ns ;i class, resent
being confounded with the latter, and hold
the sumo opinion of them as ilr. Cameron, of
Pennsylvania.
They address themselves very little to tho
intelligence, and exercise their own wits,
which sire unsurpassed, in providing attrac
tive bait for that popular variety of gudgeon
known as "the average man"' and the gen
eral reader," and known to bo endowed wild
only a rudimentary .Utrosi U-0 apparatus for
the things or the mind. They have a corre
sponding disregard for French journalism,
to which "enterpiW is unknown, and w hich
appeals far more exclusively to tho intelli
gence. "A new idea every day," Emi!e do
Ci.rardm maintained, was tho secret of .
ccssful journalism; following it. ki obtained
with Lc I'itjt Journal, the largest CM-culatiou

more nurvieryya iw fecund tha.n are our kind
of sensations, even manufactured sensations,
that Paris has on an average so:no eighty odd
daily papers.
Tho police reports are fewer and infinitely
less elaborate. Names- aud dates: aro nu u.u,

that of an imaginary drama. Interviewing
is still an occasional eccentricity. Whoever
