Hv order of the cit' central com

Two well - dressed women stood
amonpr the throng at the ribbon count
er in one of the large dry goods stores
in Sixth avenue, a few days ago, savs
the N. Y. Tribune, &nd having at length
obtained the pervices of a clerk one of
them said: ul want to buy some nar
row ribbon for favors, but I must have
the colors of the German flag, and,
strangely enough, neither my friend
nor I can recall them. Do you remem
ber what they are?"
I do not," said the girl politely, im
pressed apparently by the internation
al character of her customers, "but
the other young lady at this counter
may know." "The other young lady"
paid she thought the colors were black
and yellow.
"1 am sure thai isn t rifrht. re
marked an old customer who was sit
ting on the third stool down the count
er.
"Possibly the floor walker would
know," suggested the clerk. "Ca-a-sh!
Ask Mr. Fitzhugh to come here."
That functionary having arrived the
matter was duly referred to him.
"There are three colors," he declared;
"black, red and yellow."
"Are you sure?" asked the two shop
pers earnestly. "We cannot make a
mistake."
"I am almost euro that is wrong,"
interposed a young woman near by
who had overhearu the controversy;
"me husband is a German, and I nevei
heard of yellow in the German Hag."
"It might be buff," conceded the
floor walker.
"I used to teach school in Indiana,"
remarked a tall woman with a eatskin
niiilT, "and I can settle this question
The colors in the German Hag are red,
white and yellow."
This seemed authoritative, but some
how the various contestants didn't ap
pear satisfied.
"There's Schwartz, the floor walker
in the cotton department," suggested
the stately Fitzhugh, "he's a German
himself; he'll know: Cash, go anil ask
Mr. Schwartz to write the colors in the
German Hag on this card."
The Indiana school teacher did not
look pleased, but the matter having
gone to the Court of Appeals she
rested her ease, and the cash girl was
back in a minute with the card. On it
were written the words, "black, red
and white."
"That settles it. Thank you so
much." said the two feminine shoppers
gratefully, looking apprehensively at
he listening throng.
"How much is the narrow ribbon,
please?"
"Twenty-two cents a piece of ten
jakds ma'am," answered the girl, ex
pectantly. "Well, we need only a little; give me
a yard of each color. How much wiL
that be?"
"Seven cents," murmured the clerk,
staggered for a moment by the mag
nitude of the order, after tb trouble
of obtaining it
The "other young lady" and the In
diana school teacher tittered audibly,
but there was no sign of a smile on the
clerk's face as she drawled: "Shall I
have the' package sent up to your
home, ma'am?"
He Wanted to Avoid Preparations.
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore tells this
story The daughter of a certain gen
tleman, who was quite well off, was to
be married. She had purchased her
trousseau, which was a gorgeous one,
from the apartments of the world's
most fashionable modiste. The bill
reached way up into the hundreds and
was but a short step from a thousand.
The ceremony and reception in their
turn followed wita all the brilliancy
characteristic of a nuptial of the society
world. The fond parent looked anxious
ly on as he thought of the immense
number of bills that would soon pour
in for his sympathy, and silently came
to the conclusion that it should be the
last.
After the event had passed and the
happy Mr. and Mrs. were speeding
away in a ru.lman enjoying all the
pleasantries of a honeymoon, he called
his other daughter to him and sur
prised her somewhat by inquiring if
she had anv serious thoughts of matri
mony.
"Why, papa," she exclaimed, "you
know I haven t left school vet!
"1 know that, replied the lather, as
he thought of his diminished bank ac
count, "but will vou ever have?
"Whv, of course," was the blushing
maiden's reply; "vou know all girls ex
pect."
"I hen," he answered, "when the
final point comes just let me know in
time, and I will give vou $1,000 and
you and whoever it is hiay run off
Anything to get away from those
trousseaus and receptions."

YOUTH HAS THE FLOOR.
Anierlra Kurnlwheit at, t'nparalleled
portunity to Young .Mru.
Op.
The young man who hesitates to ac
cept or assume stations of responsibtl
ity ami trust because of f his youthf ill
ness, ana watts lor the dinif vm'' and
souiii ing lnnuence or maturer years
to lit him for the position, is not a close
student of the lives of men who have
impressed their names on their coun
try's history. While older men shake
their heads and remark in half-com
plaining tones that boys know more
than their fathers these days, yet from
no source does the ambitious, deter
mined young man receive more cordial
encouragement and support than from
these same men who declare they are
being shelved for the boys. It is not
that youth knows more than age. But
when a youth, buoyant with hope and
conridence,his vision undimmed by the
doubts and prejudices engendered by
long acquaintance with the world, his
ambition not withered by years of
dreary struggle for subsistence, his
heart full of love for humanity.and his
soul vibrant with the grand possibtli
ties of life when such a youth, fresh
from study and with intellect well
stored, can mount at once to the point
reached by his father through years ot
bitter experience, and from this vant
age ground begin the battle of life, he
is the belter equipped of the two, just
as a "dwarf perched upon the should
ers of a giant can see further than the
giant."
Tin se youths who think young men
have not fair chance, and those
older men who think young men not
ab!:5 to fill important stations, may
each learn a lesson from the record of
the past.
Henry Clay, pays the Augus'.a
Chronicle, was in the Senate of the
United States, contrary to the Consti
tution, at 21. Webster was in college
at 15,gave evidence of his great future
before he was 2o, and at 3 J he was the
peer of the ablest man in Congress
Charles James Fox was in Parliament
at 19. Martin Luther had become
largely distinguished at 24, and at 30
had reached the topmost round of his
world-wide fame. Peel was in Parlia
ment at 21. Napoleon at 25 command
ed the army of Italy. At 4') he was
not only one of the most illustrious Gen
erals of the time, but one of the great
law-jrivers of the world. At 46 he saw
Waterloo. Washington was Colonel in
the army at 22, President at 37. Judge
Story was in Harvard at lo, in con
gress at 29 and Judge of the Supreme
Court of the United States at 32.
Gladstone was in Parliament at 22, and
at 24 was Lord of the Treasury. Wil
liam Pitt entered collesre at 14, was
Chancellor of the Exchequer at 22,
Prime Minister at 24, and when 35 was
the most powerful uncrowned head in
Europe. Byron wrote "English tiaras
and Scotch Keviewers" at zl, ana
published "Childe Harold" at 24.
Alexander Stephens went to the Legis
lature at 24 and Congress at 31- Henry
Grady refused a nomination to Con
gress at 32,and made his New England
speech, which gave him national repu
tation, at 6h.
These instances are only cited to re
mind older men that the world has
ever been ready to give distinction to
young men who command it by their
abilities, and to show to young men ol
brains and pluck that nobody is try
ing to keep them back. At no time
in the world's history has ability been
disregarded because, coupled with
youth, and never were there more
doors open to young men than to-day.
Uemarkable Piece of Glassware.
One of the most remarkable pieces
jf old Byzantine glassware now in ex
istence is the "Luck of Edenhall,"
which never Mas broken, notwith
standing the poem of Uhland, trans
lated by Longfellow. At one time the
leir-brained duke of Wharton let it
all, but the butler, the ancient sene
schal of the house, caught it in a nap
kin. It is the property of the Mus
.rrave family, an heirloom which has
been cherished many centuries. Le
gend says it was .snatched by a mem
ber of the family from the fairies by
the well of St. Cuthbert in the garden
of the mansion of Edenhall, and the
elves in anger called after him as they
flew away:
If ever this jrlass do break or fall
Farewell the luck of Edenhall.
But the Luck of Edenhall has not
yet been broken, though it is a glass
of exquisite thinness. It is still kept
by the family as one of their most
precious possessions in a mediaeval
case of decorated leather, and guarded
with sedulous care. AT. J". Tribune.
