.ottu of Home Circle Conversation.
Taken In by a Charming Fellow A
Nice lAtoVlng Couple An Cnnopblatl
cated View Note.
Notwithstanding the true American free
dom of approach and readiness to accept the
advances of others which perhaps exists In a
greater measure in New York than else
where, there are yet certain bounds of in
timacy which may not bo passed until time
Las ripened acquaintance into confidential
friendship. The man one meets daily at the
ofilee, in the store, on the elevated railroad
or at the club converses freely after Intro
duction, and loth gives and receives pleasure
by daily talks, but ho is not invited to vihit
the home circle, nor does he give such a in
vitation until long acquaintance has famili
arized each party with the circumstances of
of tho other's life.
In a recent home circle conversation the
writer asked the question: "How long and
well should one know a erson before com
nftuing himself to confidential friendshipf
The answers, as was to be expected, were as
different as the natures of thone who n;nde
them. "I can judge a man tolerably well at
night," said on impetuous New Englander,
not yet fumiliar with metropolitan wuys.
"If he has an honest eye and a goal faco, is
not marked with a rummy nose, and talks
sensibly, I should not bo afraid to ask him to
my home. lie might turn out badly some
time, and I might bo ashamed of having
known him, but that cannot be helped. One
never knows tho whole of anybody's life Lis
tory." There was an ominous pause after
this effusive statement It was not pleasant
to express less generous sentiments, but the
countenances of the auditors showed that
they could not agree with him.
AWKCLLY TAKEN IN.
"You will find that you cannot go on that
rule here," said one who has lived longer in
this city. "I used to feel just that way and
acted accordingly, but now I make it a rule
never to invite an acquaintance to call until
J have known him favorably at least three
months. If I am introduced to a stranger
and like his appearance, I try to be cordial
to him during that time. Not hearing
anything against him, or seeing any
thing wrong about him, I then givo him an
Invitation. I was awfully taken in ouce by
one of the most charming fellows in the
world. Ho looked like a prince and talked
like an angel, but he is in Canada now and a
bank down town mourns for him and several
thousand dollars which he stole. Since then
I have not lieen hasty in making friends."
"Three months is not nearly long enough,"
said a bright, chatty lady, tho sister of a well
known clergyman. "Ben (her brother) and I
havo to meet all sorts of people in our church
work, and we always wait a year. Most of
our friends did so with us and they were
rjgbt, judging by our experiences. One of
the nicest and daintiest of little women moved
Into the flat next to ours soon after brother
was called liere, and I told hira I meant to call
on her. I didn't go just then because I had to
go homo and take care of mother during a
Fickness. One day after I had got back I
happened to pass her door while she was say
ing good by to a friend, and I heard more
glang words in one minute than in all my
life before. You can guess that 1 decided
pot to make her acquaintance."
"You were perfectly right in saying that
a year is not too long," said another lady,
picking up the conversational thread.
"When wo lived on street we Lad for
near neighbors as nice a looking couple as
ever were seen. Tha man went to hi3 busi
ness every morning, and tho woman was
singing over her work all day long. My hus
fl.and thought they were nice, and so did I,
but we learned better before long. Ono
niht they had a supper party that began at
10o'clock and ended at daybreak. Every
ono must have been drunk, for they sang and
.boated so that nobody else in tho house
could get a wink of sleep. After that we
beard them scolding each other every night,
and at last something exploded like a cannon
cracker between th-a. Both commenced
divorce proceedings, and tha wife was turned
out of the house because she couldn't pay her
rent and the husband would not."
JN A VEUT QCEEa WAT.
"No doubt all of you are right from the
point of view of personal interest," said the
unsophisticated New Englander, who has not
yet realised that jiersonal interest rules the
best of us in an inordinate measure. "You
have had bad luck, but most people are good
and well disposed. Now, I've just made
some new friends in a very queer way, and I
mean to stick by them until I find they are
pot all right Last night when I was going
up the stairs of my boarding house in my
usual dumheaded, absent minded style, I
turned into tho room below mine by mis
take. Thinking, of course, that I was in my
own room I was dumfounded at its appear
ance, with trunks piled up in the comer and
ladies' dresses hanging in the open closet A
low, sweet female voice struck on my ear as
I stood thero amazed. 'There, baby,' it said,
is papa.' and before I could turn her arms
were about my neck. Then sho saw what
had happened and accepted my apology,
though not very graciously at first We are
good friends now, I am glad to Kay, and
laughed over the accident this morning."
A general comparison of notes was made
at the end of this funny story. The conclu
sion reached was not perhaps the best, but
most peoplo will think it a prudent one. All
kinds of people live in this great city. Not
only arc thero good angels with good faces,
and bad angels with bad faces, but there ara
also good men and women whose counte
nances would convict them of any crime,
and evil disposed wretches who look as if
iey belonged to heaven rather tbaa
on earth, and who talk as sweetly as if "but
ter wouldn't melt in their mouths." Every
man and woman rightly limits the list of in-
timate friends to tne ruie 01 congeniality.

ARE EMBEZZLEMENTS INCREASING?
Society Larcely to Blame for tfce Down
fall of a Weak Man.
The New York Herald has compiled a list
of the embezzlements during the pact year,
and from this list it reaches the conclusion
that defalcations are on tho increase and
that the confidence of the employer is being
abused more and more. Its ground for this
inference is that the embezzlements and the
pumber of embezzlers of 18S3 are so much
greater than those of 1878. This may be true,
and yet it does not follow that dishonesty
among employes is increasing. The ratio of
this class of crimes may be no larger in 1888
than in 1S78, although the number of em
bezzlements in the later year may exceed
those in the earlier. Because we have more
capital employed in business, more business
institutions, more positions of trust to be
filled. The monetary transactions have
largely increosed and also tho number of em
ployes. With this growth in business comes
a growth in crime, becanse the field of oiera
tious for dishonest employes has been so
greatly extended.
A good deal of this augmented crime can
be traced, first, to the employers themselves,
and, second, to the false standards of life.
Society is largely to blame for the downfall
of a weak man. It has erected meretricious
standards of quality, and those who seek and
obtain admission into that society must live
up to these meretricious standards or else
they will bo ignored. A weak, dependent
mnu, one that seeks for any kind of social
distinction, no matter how puerile it may
be. is utterly crushed if society ignores
him. He must be recognized. And this
feeling of despair is the first step toward
his personal destruction. If ho should have
an extravagant wife and family who
also have the craze for social recogni
tion, he is compelled to get it If he cannot
earn enough money to maintain the show, he
begins to appropriate small sums from his
employer in the hope that by speculating or
gambling he can make a good deal more. He
may not mean to steal in the beginuing. But
ho generally loses, and tuen the descent in thd
down grade commences. After the first pec
ulation the remainder como easy, ana ueiore
he knows it he is an embezzler to the extent
of thousands of dollars. There are some
clerks who steal merely because they like to
steal, but these are in the minority. They
should not be considered in analysing the
causes that underlie the desire to embezzle.
Employers are to blame in this class of
cases, not primarily, perhaps, for the embez
zlers generally belong to tho trusted class of
employes who get good salaries. But they
are to blame for failure to prosecute because
friends or relatives make up the deficit
When this Is done the matter is dropped and
the embezzler, having felt no disgrace, dos
not appreciate tho full extent pf his. prime.
The employer who does this does himself no
benefit, but does a positive harm to society.
Every dishonest clerk or official should be
punished not only because he has done that
which merits some kind of a penalty, but be
cause he has violated a statute. People who
violate laws with impunity, by and by begin
to lose their respect for the law.
There is yet another consideration. Every
time that a clerk is discovered in dishonest
action he should be punished as a warning to
others who may con template wrong doing.
Employers ei r again by putting young men
in places of responsibility and then paying
them meager salaries. It is human nature to
err. And the man who holds a position of
some importance will in time consider him
self also to be of some importance. When
this mental condition i3 reached, he mustliye
better, dress better, and enjoy life n all its
phases more completely. This takes money.
If his employer does not give it to him for
services rendered, the clerk finally appropri
ates in little sums the money of his em
ployer. There is one peculiar fact about this
peculating, and that is that none of the em
bezzlers seem to realize that in the end their
deeds will be discovered. Detroit Free

President Arthur's Canned Salmon.
When Senator Vest accompanied tho late
President Arthur out to the Yellowstone
park on the famous fishing excursion, tho
little Missourian thought he would play a
trick on Mr. Arthur. One day Vest went
out by himself and returned in the evening
with a fine lot of fish. He met President
Arthur and remarked: "
"I never would have believed it, but do
you know that I really caught some sahnon
today in a boiling spring that were niceiy
cooked all that was needed was a little pep
per and salt and sauce to have them ready
for the table. See, I brought three of them
home. Just try one of them, Arthur. Most
delightful flavored fish I ever tasted."
President Arthur looked critically at the
fish and then repljod i
"Well, that is quite a freak of nature.
Vest, but I had an experience today that
lays your boiled unseasoned fish out cold,
3ee," he said, as he drove down into the fish
ing basket and brought out a tin can, "I found
a spring today where I caught these just as
fast as I could throw in my Tina. Try some,

I ever tasted. t? "ou out to-morrow
and stow vou the spring where I catch sal
mon iike this. Ob, this is a great place, ain't
it, senator? People In the east would hardly
believe I have been catching canned salmon,
but I want you to stand by me, and declare
that you saw the cans. I'll stick to the fact
that I saw your boiled fish."
Senator Vest didn't try to work oft any
more fanny gags on President Arthur during
that Yellowstone trip. Globe-Democrat
To Achieve True Success,
What will assure suocess? It needs a com
bination of sound elements to achieve true
success call it nerve and brains, or over
drawn assurance, whatever you will. The
spirit of push, of unbounded perseverance,
of untiring patience, is a recognized feature
of the true American, and there is no reason
to mourn its existence; it is a necessary fao
tor in modern life. In the midst of the
hurry and rush of these days a man will be
left far in the rear who does not make h'nn
self aggressive.
Mere brain power is not enough, there
must bo some means whereby the ability can
be manifested. The man of mere intellect
may be a fine scholar and a thoughtful
reader, but ho can never mingle successfully
in the busy actualities of the world at large.
It needs a determination to make the world
feel the brain power of tho man, this is the
means. It need not be shown in a way to
annoy or disgust; quietly but persistently
the intellect may be made to influence th
lives of others. The genius of the head may
be exerted by the gra of the band and the
genial familiarity which follows thereby. It
requires pluck and courage. To wait in the
lowermost places to get an invitation to
come higher is pretty poor policy nowadays.
If you don't let it be known that you are
around some other fellow will climb over
you and achieve wealth and renown. Keep
looking onward and going onward. Don't
stand stilL To stand still in business is but
to go backward. A. H. Revell in Chicago

BUILDING TRADITIONS.
LEGENDS CONCERNING STRUCTURES
INTENDED FOR MAN'S USE.
Cnolee of s Ualldlns; Site The Devil Said
to Be a Mighty Builder Human Sacri
fice and Its Subfititutes Modern Cere
monies. There are in various parts of the world
many curious traditions concerning struct
ures intended for man's habitation or use.
When tho nomad finally strikes his tent, and
adopts a fixed structure in some chosen spot
for his future homo, much importance is
usually laid on the manner of selecting this
spot, then ujxrn certain propitiatory rites
deemed necessary to insure the safety or con
tinuance of tho new dwelling. Many of our
modern ceremonies are harmless survivals of
these ancient usages, and these customs them
selves are still perpetuated by symbolical
substitution.
If we are to believe ancient authors, many
tribe were of old guided to their future
homes by mysterious agencies. The Phocoens
claimed to have been led to a prosperous land
ing by a seal, Cyrenians by a ravon, tho
Irpini by a wolf, etc., etc So the sites of
buildings were frequently chosen by these
wise animals. Six vultures indicated to Re
mus and twelve to Romulus tho location of
the future mistress of tho world. Sometimes
these intelligent guides transfer tho building
materials to a propitious spot There are
many traditions in England and Scotland, as
well as on the continent, of such interference
in the choice of a building site.
Ic has been the custom in nearly all lands
to attribute to ancient races, or to certain
mysterious beings tho construction of gigan
tic works, ancient castles, walls, etc. Among
tho Greeks, tUose structures were attributed
to the Titans, a race of giant j once possess
ing the earth. So in, &,iandinavia, the Jo tuns
or giant gods performed these mighty feats
of construction. In Germany, it was' the
dwarf inhabitant of tho mountain cave, in
the more romantic lands of southern Europe,
tho fairy or witch. In the middle ages, those
gave way gradually to tho devil, whoso in
fluence and reputation spread with the
growth of Christendom. In timo he
proved to be a mighty builder, although his
labor was always performed for his personal
advantage, aud to the loss of the owner of
the habitation.
Tho devil disliked the building of churches,
and is seldom credited with assisting in their
construction, but frequently tried to prevent
their erection. He is the champion bridge
builder in many old world lands, and has
bestowed his name on many a bridge, as-t or
instance, that on St Got hard Psls, over a
stream which ho alone cOmd span. An an
ecdote frequently related of these building
enterprises is, in the words of the poet, told
of this:
I shewed you la the valley a bowlder
Slarked with the imprint of his shoulder,
As he wrvs bearing it up this way,
A peasant, passiug, cilod "Herr, Jel"
And the devil dropped it in his fright.
And vanished suddenly out of sight
These stones are shown in many places in
Germany, Norway and Denmark. One at
Lundborg has the impress of his form, where
he lay down to rest before attempting the
ascent of a steep hilL In another place are
eleven large stones. It is said the devil was
carrying the twelfth up a neighboring hill,
when he stopped to rest He was unable to
resume hta burden, which bears the imprint
of his shoulder blade. A certain church wall
in England is said to boar the imprint of his
foot, where he stamped to show his defiance
of popery.
A victim is usually required., as the price
of his satanio majesty's services as an archi
tect Many stories are told of outwitting
him, when a human sacrifice was required,
A Swiss peasant obtained diabollo aid in
building a bridge across a valley, cheatiug
the architect with a goat German tales of
similar substitution are numerous, a fox, a
wolf, a dog, cat, or cock being tho sacrifice.
It was an universal custom formerly to cause
a dog or cat to enter a new house first, as a
propitiatory victim. In Yorkshire, ;t was
thought necessary to bury a dog or ca under
the church walLs, its ghost haunting the
churoh yard. As the devil required a victim,
it was said in Lancashire that any one coun
seling or planning repairs to an old building,
or the building of a, pew one, would die with
in a yeaiY
From this notion of the devil as a builder,
there a:-ose a custom prevalent in many
places during the Middle Ages, and surviving
to modem days in Asia and Africa. This
was the sacrifice of a living being upon the
commencement of a, new edifice, usually by
burying alive within the walls. Greek and
Latin authors contain many allusions t3 this
practice.
A pathetic tale is to!4 of Liebenstejji

went up, it said, "Mother, I can see you."
Then later, "Mother, I see a little of you
still," and finally, "Mother, I see nothing of
you now."
Tho border castles of Scotland were, ac
cording to legend, washed with human blood
by their savage builders, the Picts. Baily
portree castle, in Clare county, Ireland, is
said to have been erected by the Danes, who
pressed into service workmen from far and
near, and made them labor night and day
without rest or food, and when any dropped
with fatigue or hunger, ho was at once im
mured within the walls.
Mediaeval legends abound in instances of
such sacrifices. In Africa, hundreds of vic
tims suffered when a new palace was com
menced. Substitutes were afterward chosen, when
human sacrifices had been abandoned. In
Bulgaria the shadow of some one passing was
walled in. The person thus losing his other
self would, it was thought, die within a year.
A dog, cat or cock is still used in many parts
of Europe. Danish traditions tell of a lamb
being buried under the altar that the church
might stand unshaken. In Germany it is
said that a long term of good weather may
be insured by walling in a cock.
Modern ceremonies at the laying of the
corner stone of a building are doubtless sur
vivals of these ancient heathen sacrifices.
Religious rites are still held, but the victim
is no longer represented either in person or
by a substitute, F. S. Bassett in Globe
Democrat Danger on the High Seas.
The statement of Dr. A. L. Fuller, the dis

declares that "we were running too fast to

A PHYSICIAN'S HEROISM.
How T)r. Beard Approached bUtotutlon.
Dying Like a Helen tlkU
Dr. Beard approached dissolution as a
scientist Liko Mr. Palmer, he was an agnos
tic who neither denied nor afilrnied the pos
sibility of those things which to sacred men
are deemed certainties. Dr. Beard, though
an alnist who made great reputation in the
treatment of nervous and mental diseases of
others, carried his own nerves on his cuticle.
He was high strung, capable of periods of
great mental exhilaration and a man of su
preme intellectual courage. When it was
erilous, even physically perilous, for any
body to doubt the sanity of Guiteau, Beard,
utterly careless of the threatened loss of hi
practice and even his life, gave to tho wretch
a most exhaustive examination, both before
and lxhiud tho prison bars, and he staked
his reputation on tho assertion that the poor
wretch was tho victim of irresjMjnsible delu
sion that would make his hanging a judicial
murder, and ho did not flinch in assorting
this then most obnoxious opinion.
Only a few months later Beard laid down
upon his bed in an uptown hotel to die.
Pneumonia had fastened upon his delicate
lungs, and ho knew that his illness was mor
tal. Did he then bewuil his fate, cut off in
his prime, and when his life pluns were far
reaching, and aimed for the benefit of man
kind? Instead, ho dictated to his wife his
experiences as a sufferer. Ho jotteJ tl'J,-n

made effort 0 preserve his experience with
thy I'Zpo that physicians might thereby loarn
something of this disease which would 1: !p
them master it win ii ollu-r were uldicuxi.
Once when he returned from the realms of
unconsciousness ho made feeble effort to tell
its story, and the only agony ho seemed to
suffer during his illncssarose from his failure
more fully and satisfactorily to preserve the
record of his illness.
We have read of suicides who with curious
intent have swallowed poison or filled their
lungs wito noxious gas and have set down in
a diary their impressions until the words be
came vague, the lines faint, and then the
pencil dropped. And such record possesses a
ghastly fascination for those who read it,
like tho echo of one who shouts as he passes
over the Btyx; but Beard thought he was
serving humanity when he gave his last mo
ments to the record of his dying experience,
and he was right. Physicians have read that
record with profit and perhaps have been
enabled to save lives thereby. New York,

are of dark complexion. Most of them
have jet black mustaches and long hair, and
the office might be taken for a little section
