Of the twenty men examined but one has retained the same proportions throughout. This man is Officer Jim Eggleston, of the First district. He is exactly the same height as when he was examined for appointment under this administration, and weighs not an ounce more or less. Of the others one wa3 almost an inch taller than when he went on, but the rest had fallen away. One was found to be more than an inch shorter than when appointed. All were over weight Cincinnati except Officer Eggleston. Commercial-Gazette- If You are engaged in any kind of Business, be it Large or Small, you will need something in our line.

At the same time it would benefit so- city by increasing the supply of women servants, a want which becomes more pressing every year. As a further help toward that object it is proposed that all the girls admitted into the homes should be specially trained for domestic service in its several departments. This would enable them to go out into the world at comparatively early age, and to help their mothers instead of taxing their Scanty resources. The main difficulty of realizing the scheme, which certainly has a taking look, is in raising the funds. In the nature of things the homes would not be wholly self supporting, even if the expenses were cut down in all possible ways. It would be necessary, therefore, to supplement the income derived from the mothers' contributions by subscriptions collected from the charitable public, and one hesitates to advocate another appeal to that incessantly solicited quarter. London Globe. lieves is a Child and Caterpillar. years old, over a caterpillar. The child when she sees the caterpillar on the walk straightens back her skirts with her two hands, moves backward quickly a couple cf steps and screams at the top of her voice. Nobody pays any attention to the scream, as it ia recognized as her peculiar way of announcing that she has discovered a "ynrm." Having uttered this scream, Herzchen advances a step, puts her hands on her knees, and looks down earnestly at the caterpillar. Then she screams again. Then she bends over closer to the crawling creature. Her eyes have perceived beauty in it She suddenly reaches forward, picks it up, holds it on the palm of one hand, and studies curiously the row of bright blue spots down each of its sides and the golden yellow streak along its back. Beyond all doubt these caterpillars, when fully grown, are beautifully robed creatures. Herzchen brings the worm nearer and nearer to her eyes, till it almost touches her face, gloating over it with a sort of curious fascination. Then she lays it carefully down on the ground, looks at it an instant longer, utters another scream, piercing, bloodcurdling, and runs away. Boston Transcript Bachelor Life In Singapore. Many of tho white men in Singapore keep bachelor quarters, and one description of a bachelor's bungalow will suffice for all. Two young Englishmen have a one 6tory rambling house amoi; some cocoanut palms, covering a lot of ground and open on every side. Enter in and sit Leave your pith helmet at the door, and one of the bachelors says: "Now, wouldn't you take a gin fizz? It's very nice." And before the visitor can answer he calls out, "Boyt" when from some unforeseen screen or crack a China boy appears and gets the order. In a few moments be returns with a long glass filled with "gin fizz" and powdered ice, and then the host goes on and asks the guest to take champagne and port and sherry and cognac and a julep, and 1 can't go on. There were more, but I really forget the names. This is hospitality in the orient. There are sixteen servants for these two white boys, and such attendance and obsequiousness spoils them, let alone the question of ruining their stomachs by so Toronto many liquor concoctions. Globe.

The hen of a farmer who lives near Tionesta and a wild pheasant have both been laying eggs in the same nest After the nest was full with about an equal number of both kinds of eggs both fowls began to set They occupied the nest at s the same time and there was a constant struggle going on. The farmer concluded that neither conld accomplish any-tonat the rate they were quarreling, and he thought to solve the difficulty by removiag the hen's eggs from the nest. This onlysserved to make matters worse, and now bjth fowls are trying to hatch young phtmstonts.

Walk on w High Trestle. A strange scene was witnessed recently on the Northern Pacific trestle at the water works. The trestle is about 600 feet long and 65 feet high. Under it is the Union Pacific roadbed. Tbe ties are about eight inches apart and are evenly distributed the entire distance. At an early hour the attention of a dozen people was attracted by a large sorrel horse which had walked along the trestle from the south and was unaware of the danger ahead. He was unable to turn around and had fully 600 feet yet to travel. The spectators were struck with awe, expecting every moment to tee the animal dashed to atoms by afalL Now fully mindful of his danger, ib was remarkable to note the instinct with which the animal stepped cautiously from one tie to another. He had just reached that part of the trestle above the Union Pacific roadbed when he became dazed and missed his footing. His hind feet caught in the tie and threw him, so that the rear portion of his body overhung the framework of the immense bridge, while he held himself by his fore feet. The scene was a sickening one, and the spectators looked every moment for the fatal fall. Suddenly, with a powerful lunge, the animal threw his body toward the trestle and managed to regain nis ieec Again he started on his perilous walk, and when within a few feet of the end of the bridge fell again and was caught ia much the same manner. Martin Scully started to the assistance of the animal with a rope, but the horse was so close to terra firina that he made an effort to regain his feet and fell to the sloping bank, just a short distance below. He then rolled down the bank for about feet. His mouth and hoof twenty-fiv- e were badly bruised in the struggle, but otherwise he was uninjured. Olympic (Wash.) Tribune.

Many examples are known of women dressing as men, but until lately no case has been known of a man going about disguised as a woman. A man named years old, employed Signol, seventy-tw- o as a cook, was taken to the hospital of Saint Antoine, Paris, suffering from gastritis. Mistaken, on account of his dress, for a woman, he was taken to the ward reserved for members of the weaker sex. When they found out the mistake he was put into another ward. The strangest thing about the whole case is that Signol says that he never wore male attire excepting on the day he was examined by the conseil de revision in order to determine whether he was fit for military service. When he o m was seventeen years oia ns weac as t servant girl to a farm in He remained there eleven years. He learned to cook at Caen and went to Paris, where he was employed as cook for forty years either in private families or in boys schools. Pans Letter. Uniform, for Employes. A Bristol storekeeper donned a white duck coat, and was so pleased with the effect that he ordered all of his employes to wear white duck coats dunng busi ness hours. Rather than obey the order two of the clerks quit work. Neverthe less, uniforming goes on among store girls, judges, railroad hands, waiters and indeed in almost every occupation where it is desirable that the public should recognize the employes. Tho mistake of confusing a customer for a clerk has led to rather embarrassing situations in many a store, and clerks who object to being uniformed have the satisfaction of knowing that without their uniforms they cannot be distinguished from their employers.

We found an old man standing in the middle of the room, taking leave of his hostess, nodding his head he was a little like a Chinese mandarin with an ivory face. His expression never changed, but seemed quite fixed. He knew my father and spoke to him and to us, too, still in this odd, fixed way. Then he looked at my sister. "My little girl," he said to her, "will you come and live with me? You shall be as happy as the day is long, you shall have a white pony to ride and feed upon red currant jelly." This prospect r was so alarming and unexpected that little girl suddenly blushed up and burst into tea-s- .

A flash of lightning struck a beautiful young lady at a southern watering place, but, strange to say, without any disastrous consequences, The lightning first grazed the well padded bodice of the young lady, slipped over the upholstered hips, tore oil a plait of false hair which hung down her back, entered the "improver" and glided from the false calves into the heels of her high boots, through which it passed into the ground. Thus the fair maiden escaped all injury, and only her artificial teeth chattered through fright at the suddenness of the thing. Berliuer Tngeblatt Storks never seem to have been common in Italy.
