CHARACTER ftf AH Cl^tATOB. About the DHfcrent Paoyle Who Bint the Elcetric Bell. / A visitor was going; tip in file eleva- f Icr at tlie 1 flank Building, when some one rang the bell. It was ^ quick, timid ring, as if the person^ -who vailed h«d; just touched the key with the tip.s of his lingers, uncertain whether to ring or not. Tlie sound had scarcely peaaed when there came a loud, decided, de­ fiant i iug, fividently from another floor, one of those rings in which the full power of the 1 lattery is invoked, not prolonged, wit long enough to show that the linger is expecting to be called for indue time to be carried tUfwn. Then came otte of those prolonged ringsthat vex tha "car arid make one impatient, as if the person calling thought the elevator was put in for his sole benefit and run for his particular accommodation. ' "Whdt blank fool is that?" someone ffeftiarked. "I know Who that' is," said the eleva­ tor man, who is a deep student of pas­ senger nature. "He always lings in tfiit way. I've got so," he continued, "that I can always tell who the tenants are when they ring. I can't always tell anyone else, of course, but I know tlie ring of each tenant perfectly. There is a similarity in some, but yet all are dif­ ferent. One is a shade louder, or longer, than another, but by watching closely I've got so I can tell them every time. There is a great deal of charac­ ter in the way one rings a bell. I've - studied mto it a good deal, as I have been traveling up and down here for three years, and I fancy 1 can tell something of the character of each ten­ ant in the building. I make a study of the tenants as they pass up and down. I notice their motions, the expressions of their faces, their build, their com­ panions, if they have any, and I'll ven­ ture to say that I can tell to a T what sort of a fellow every tenant in the building is, at home for instance, and what he is at home he is everywhere. Does he give the bell- a timid, light, hesitating touch ? Depend upon it, he is that sort of a fellow. You'll find him to be a timid, noncommittal, hesitating man, unsuccessful in business, perhaps, a modest man who doubts whether he has any rights at all in this world. Does he bring out all the power of the bat­ tery by an impressive, commanding ring? That's he every time. YouH al­ ways know where to find that man.' He has business on hand and is ready to at­ tend to it. He is a frank-hearted, gen­ erous man of positive convictions. Is he a lawyer? See him in the court­ room; he has his case thoroughly in hand; he looks the judge squarely in the eye; his argument is clear and con­ vincing. He means what he says. Is he a broker? You'll find he lives in a square-built, brown-stone house on Madison avenue. It is paid for, too, every dollar; no mortgage on his prop­ erty, and----" "Well, what about the man who rings the bell so long?" the visitor inter­ rupted. "He?" replied the elevator man. "Why, he is selfish, narrow-minded, foppish sort of a chap who had a for­ tune left him by an aunt, I believe. When he gets into the elevator, it would tickle you to death sometimes to see him. He takes a position squarely in the center of the car and gazes at himself in the mirror. He pulls up his shirt-collar, pulls down his waistcoat, stamps on the floor, gives an extra twist to his feeble mustache, carries a bun­ dle of papers in his hand, tlie same one every time. He claims to be a lawyer, I believe, but he is what I caj! a con­ summate--t" Just then tlie bell began to ring and never ceased till the seventh floor was reached, atid there stood the "consum- 4 ;ii>il f York Tribune. Priming. • • < • One of our chief aims is to form an \|lgsenly balanced, open, symmetrical lifad^ atid this can often be accom­ plished lietter by a little watchfulness during the season of growth than at any other time. If, for instance, two "branches start so closely together that otae or the other must be removed in the spring pruning, why let the super­ fluous one grow at all ? It is just so much waited effort. By rubbing off the pushing Imd or tender shoot the strength of the tree is thrown into the branches that we wish to remain. Thus the eyes atul hand of the master become to the young tree what instruction, counsel, and admonitioji are to a grow­ ing boy,' with the difference that the ttee is easily and certainly managed when taken in time. . Trees left to themselves tend to form ? top much wood, like the grape-vine. Of course fine fruit is impossible when the head of a tree is like a thicket. The growth of unchecked branches follows the terminal bud. tlms producing long naked reaches of wood devoid of fruit spurs. Therefore the need of shorten­ ing in, so that side branches may be develojjed. When the reader remem bers that every dormant bud in early spring is a possible branch, and that even the immature buds at the axil of the leaves in early summer can be forced into immediate growth by pinch ing back the leading shoot, he will see how entirely the young tree is under his control. These simple facts and principles are worth far more to the intelligent man than any number of ar­ bitrary rules as to pruning. Beason and observation soon guide his hand in summer, or his knife in March, the sea- aim when trees are usually trimmed. Beyond shortening in -leading branches and cutting out crossing and interfering boughs, so as to keep the ltead symmetrical and open to light and air, the cherry does not need very much Eriuiing. If with the lapse of years it ecomes necessary to take off large limbs from any fruit tree, the authori­ ties recommend early June as the liest season for the operation.--E. P. Roe, in Harper's Magasin*. The Jews in America Americans. it is a mistake and a blunder to make Judaism in America anything but American. Maintain it as Polish. Ger­ man, Portugese, Hungarian, or Russian, according to the ideas of the foreign rabbis and laymen who continue foreign, and you alienate young Israel. Young American-born Jews and Jew- asses, as a rule, will never sympathize with a foreign phase of their faith. There may be a certain pietat for their parents' sake, but warm conviction and enthusiasm will be lacking. Here, on American soil, we propose to drop what is local and provincial. We shall carve out as good a record as our ancestors in other lands. We <lo not wish to con­ cern ourselves with foreign shibboleth. We- shall maintain Jewish essentials, but ve shall think for ourselves and act for ourselves; for Europe has little to offer toward the solution of problems which it. too, finds of profound difficulty. American conservatism should not allow itself to be measured by the foreign • rule.--Jewish Messenger . HftiibarelMt If you will go into any great library you will find there shelf after shelf loaded with books of travel, adventure, and exploration; and you will' find on the title-] .ages of these books some of the great names which you are con­ stantly seeing in the newspapers and hearing in lectures and sermons. Take one of the oldest and one of the latest of these names. The first shall lie Marco Polo--a famous traveler, who was l>orn at Venice in the middle of the thirteenth century, fifteen years l»efore the great Italian poet Dante. His father was an eminent merchant in a city which was then the great merchant city of the world, trading with the far East and the far West of that day. Marco Polo was taken by his father among the Mongols when he was a young man, and he learned their language and cus­ toms so rapidly that he soon became better acquainted with then!, if it were possible, than the Mongols themselves. His judgment and ability were soon recognized, and he was employed as an agent to transact business with the neighboring rulers. Wherever he went he made it a point to study the people, and know how they lived, and what their customs were. In this spirit he became acquainted with a part of China and with the great cities of Eastern Asia, many of which had never before been seen by, an European. On his longest jurney he passed through China, and, taking a vessel, made the journey of the China Sea and the Indian Ocean, finally* reaching Teheran in Persia. Later he returned to his own country, and in a notable battle between the Venetians and the Genoese was taken prisoner, and shut up in a dungeon in Genoa, the city which was afterward to be the birthplace of Columbus. It was while he was locked up in this dungeon that he wrote his travels, just as Bun- yan wrote the "Pilgrim's Progress" in Bedford Jail. He was afterward liber­ ated, went back to Venice, and died in 1323. His book remains one of the oldest and one of the most interesting records of travels which we have. Turn now to the latest work of the same kind--Lieutenant Greelv's "Three Years of Arctic Service." The story of that wonderful voyage, and of the terri­ ble hardships which are a part of its history, are too 'well known to be re­ peated here. It is enough to say that these books are a storv of travel, ad­ venture, and discovery. Lieut. Greely has simply written out what he saw, discovered, and-suffered in those terri­ ble three years' struggle with the Arctic darkness and cold. In like manner all books of travel, discovery, and adven­ ture, so far as they are trustworthy, are simply records of fact. There is no invention in them, no imagination, but a straightforward account of what actually is, or has happened. They are pictures of life or of the world, as brave and self-sacrificing men have seen both, in distant countries, and often amid terrible hardships.--Christian Union. KPBHHMlli Playing Poker. It is a fascinating game, because in it one's judgment, coolness and pluck count for even more than luck, though some old veterans assert that even "a fool can bet a good hand." But I know that their assertion is too sweeping. A fool cannot bet a good hand so as to get all the money that can bo got out of it. To a veteran poker player any mistake of eye or action is an indication to guide him, and I'll defy a fool to take, though a good hard "bluff." . Bound the poker-table a man with anything like acute judgment can gauge his op­ ponents admirably, because more opportunities to do so are offered. It is there that one sees a man as he is, and avarice, generosity, boldness and skill show out first or last, generally in tlie wav the other player manages his hand. Oh, yes! there is no doubt but that if a man must play cards for money the noblest and best way to play them is in a select poker group. The game is peculiarly an American one. It fits in with the natural tem­ perament and I cannot imagine a model poker player without also thinking of the frothy methods in use in many of our great business affairs; methods that make the American a "bull" or a "bear," as his inclinations or interests dictate; that water stocks and bonds and puff up a poor weakling of a railroad until its rails are buried in a mass of debt and everybody "lets go." In all these transactions "bluff," pure and simple, is the dictator and the greater part of the stock in trade, with an elegant assort­ ment of cheek as a reserve fund and an inclination to call on "ace high." When the call comes, if it ever does come, a man is often unready in a poker game or "on change." Our great speculators all play poker and have done so for many years. If as boys they had played the game they would have sat on the ends from whence limit bets on a pair of "dueces" or "travs" would have come and an air of innocence would have spread its rays around when the other fellow "dropped out," the "dueces," went into the deck and the pot was raked in .---Cleveland Leader. A Woman's Courage. "War is a terrible thing. The first fight I was in was the battle of Shiloh. I tell you, boys, my heart was in iny mouth when the rebels commenced fir­ ing on us," said old Tommy Hayfield to visiting neighbors. "You were a coward, Tom," remarked Mrs. Hayfield. "It would doubtless have frightened me if I had been a soldier in tiiat battle; but it wouldn't have scared me till my heart jumped into my mouth." "Oh,' I don't doubt it," retorted the old man. "You are a woman, and a woman never lets her heart get in her mouth." "Humph!" ejaculated the old lady, "I suppose you think that the reason a woman never gets her heart in her mouth is because she hasn't any heart?" "No, my dear." replied the old war­ rior, between whiffs of tobacco smoke; "it's because if her heart were in her mouth she couldn't talk."--Newman Independent. A Slight Mistake. An amusing incident occnrred at a Seneca street drug store. Af man had made several purchases, and to the clerk's inquiry if lie wanted anything else he replied: "Yes, there was some­ thing my wife wanted me to get. Let me see, what was it ? Oh, yes, some Dolly Varden plasters." "What kind of plasters?" asked the clerk, with a laugh. "Dolly Varden! Dolly Varden!" was the answer, given with some show of irritation. "Well, we've had some, but they're all gone. I guess you mean belladona plasters." "Yes, that is it. I knew it was some- tiling like that," and the customer's perplexed countenance lighted up with a smile of satisfaction.--Buffalo Cou­ rier. IN A corny. Kaw Job Yancay ]|e actual Freedom. "Do I remember |my instances of the underground railroad that haven't got into priDt?" said an old abolitionist and slave-rescuer in response to a question. "Well, there is one story that I don't remember to have seen in the Itooks or the papers. In 1859, just in the height of the agitation, 8 , our agent at Columbia, S. C., had occasion to ticket a middle-aged negro, Job Yancey by name, through to Provi­ dence, B» L, by the underground. Job had sheltered a runaway in his cabin and had been betrayed by another negro. He learned tlie situation and came into Columbia in the middle of the night. There was no hope of con­ cealing him. Our agent had thought of a new means of shipment that he had never tried. This was his opportunity to try it, for Job was clear grit, strong with the well-knit strength of middle age, and patient as his namesake. "S got a large coffin that he had kept, for the emergency, and into this coffin he put poor Job, and with him a quantity of crackers, cheese, dried meat, and a rubber bag full of water. A few gimlet holes admitted air. On the first train in the morning Job Yancey went off, shipped as a corpse to a chosen address in Providence. Train­ men were generally respectful of the dead in those days,and Job traveled com­ fortably for a time, barring the hours that he occasionally lay on some depot platform in the broiling Southern sun. Travel was slow, and .sometimes the treatment was a little rough. Job after a day or so began to get exceedingly lame with the confinement and pressure, his grim berth grew irksome, but it was when the loud shouts and laughter of his own kind died away around him, and when that and the sickening chill came over him when they dumped him one night on the stone floor of a cold baggage-room somewhere told him that he was in the North, that he began to suffer. The mere consciousness that he was in the North might have buoyed him up, however, if it had not been for one dreadful circumstance. "There was a sort of a faint gleam around him that told that it was dav, and he must have been in New York, for he says that he knew that he li$d been carried across some water by the sensation of rising and falling that he had felt. He had felt himself rattled along in a wagon, too, and the wagon had brought up in a place where he had heard the clatter and the roar of trains again. His coffin was dragged violently out of the wagon arid when his bearers put him. down they stood the coffin against the wall--on its head. Job be­ gan to feel the blood rushing to his head. He felt that he was lost, and would die, but he dared not shout for help, as that would mean discovery, a delivery to his owners, and worse than death. Better die there, even a hor­ rible death from torture, than be car­ ried back to his master's plantation. He clung to the determination, but at last felt his weakened senses (rive wav His consciousness, after minutes of agonv, which seemed hours, was lost. "When he recovered Job had actually arrived "at Providence and his new-found friends--better friends than he had ever known--were using their best en­ deavors to restore him. In a few days he was able to step out into the world, in a home in a chosen village, a freeman."--N. Y. Tribune. A Texan Herder's Life, We will suppose, by way of illustra­ tion, that a practical herder has been engaged to run a flock, and in the early morning, as the first gray streaks of dawn appear in the eastern sky, he sallies forth to take charge of liis woolly flock, who are just beginning to awake and leave their bedding-places. If he is a Mexican he looks extremely picturesque in his bright blue jacket, with its double r<Sw of silver buttons, which, by the way, are not for use but solely for ornament, for a Mexican never buttons hie jacket, else he would "hide his gaudy calico shirt. On his nether limbs are leggings of leather or buckskin to protect liis legs from the sharp thorns through which he will be forced to march. These are kept in place by a crimson, orange or blue sash over which is buckled a broad sash full of cartridges. On his head is the in­ evitable sombrero, with its ornamenta­ tion of gold and silver lace. If lie is a sensible man, his scrape will be tied over one shoulder, and under the oppo­ site arm he will carry a Winchester rifle and a sharp butcher knife. As the sheep begin to move off he saunters slowly along behind them, keeping a sharp lookout for stragglers. Sheep do not travel fast, but they keep moving. At about meridian they will begin to feed back toward the bedding-place. There the herder will eat his humble dinner of tortillas and chili, washed down by a draught of water, if he is fortunate enough to be in the vicinity of a spring or water-hole. About sun­ down the sheep will reach their camp and begin to select their beds for the night. The herder has a rude shelter near by. He builds himself a fire and cooks his tortillas. Possibly he may have killed a quail or a jack rabbit dur­ ing the day. If so, he makes a savory soup. Then he smokes his cigaro and walks around the flock to see that none are missing. If all is well he returns to his camp and, rolling himself in his serape, lies down. He may have a good night's sleep and he may not. A careful herder will be aroused if a single sheep moves and will immedi­ ately rise up to see what is the matter. If a bear or cougar or tiger-cat is lurk­ ing qbout he will hunt for the varmint and either kill him or frighten him awav. Above all things he must guard against a stampede, for if the timid sheep once get started there is no stop­ ping them--the herd would become scattered, many would be lost and the herder would be charged up with the missing sheep. Long before daylight he is up, and by the time the sheep be­ gin to move he has cooked and eaten his breakfast aud is ready to take up the march again. Imagine what a pic­ nic a man must have who performs this dreary routine for 365 days in the year! Sheep-herding admits of no holidays. Thunder, Lightning and Rain. Meteorologists have found that there can be no thunder and lightning with­ out rain. When thunder is heard be­ neath a clear sky, the reports must either come from distant clouds, or be the result of some other cause than a discharge of electricity. Harvest or heat lightning is produced by a distant storm. Thunder seldom accompanies heat lightning, the sound reaching only about twelve miles, while lightning is often seen, by reflection upon nearer clouds, at a much greater distance. IF it is a pleasure to be envied and shot at, to be maligned standing, and to lie despised falling, then it is a pleasure to be great and to be able to dispose of men a fortunes.--South.

There is a saying among the Bus- sians that a man who is fomi of his horse will not grow old early. The Arab and Cossack are examples of the truth of the proverb. They generally live long, enjoy robust health, and have no use for liver pads and blue pills. That vigorous octogenarian, David Dudley Field, tells us that he attributes his remarkable vitality to the habit of horseback riding, and if the truth were known it would doubt­ less appear that our sturdiest old men are those who have been fond of the saddle. The taste for equestrian sports and exercise, which has lately made such progress in Brooklyn, is, there­ fore, a hopeful and healthful sign. It is not a mere freak of fashion, but a development in the direction of rational enjoyment and an assurance that the rising generation will be less of an in­ door and more of an outdoor people. It means less headache hereafter, better appetites, stronger lungs, rosier cheeks, brighter eyes, sonnder sleep, happier spirits, and total oblivion of that organ which, according to Sydney Smith, keeps a man a good deal lower , tkari the angels--the liver.
