It appeared to be a very busy time for the encyclopaedic young man standing behind the Jersey City station window warked "Bureau of Information."

"Ain‘t you the bureau of information *" "I only work behind this window, madam. I don‘t arrange the policy of the road," he replied. "Now, don‘t you sass me, young man!" she rapped out menacingly. And then she became quite amiable again. "Do you know of a nice place to stop at in Atlantic City, young man?t" she asked him. He might well have lbeen staggered by the hopeless immensity or this question, but he wasn‘t. He is often asked that same question, he says privately. "It would be easy for me to recomâ€" mend any one place, madam," he replied, "seeing that there are something like a thousand hotels and perhaps a couple of thousand boarding houses down there." The answer man named a couple of hotels "close to the water," where you can get into one of the smaller rooms for about $6 a day, European plan, at the height of the season if you‘re lucky. â€""Oh, from six a day up, without board," the young man replied, a bit michievously. â€""But they‘re pretty nice." â€""But I mean some place that is cheap and nice and close to the water," she persisted. t 3 "Six dollars a day, without board!" the woman almost shrieked. "Why, sakes alive, man, that‘s all I intend to pay a week with board!" t "How much do them places charge the woman inquired. _ fras "YÂ¥es!" said the answor man. "Well, I hope you succeed in finding some nice place for that money," and, somehow or another, there wasn‘t a bit of sarcasm in his tone, either. Answer men are not allowed to be sarcastic. "Well, if I don‘t, I can see myself coming right smack back to Utica," snapped the woman with the high cheekâ€" bones, and she looked as if she assuredly meant it too, "Six dollars a day for a room without boardâ€"who ever heard of such nonsense?" and she yanked het valise from the floor as if she imagined the handle to be one of the ears of an Atlantic City landlord. T % Presently a man with a face bronzed almost to match his reddigh beard, wearâ€" Ing perfectly obvious store clothes of black, and with one of those occasionâ€" ally recurring black glazed bags of the Centennial era. appeared at the window, "Podner," he inquired, poking his head well within the window, "when do I git Into Seattlet" ‘This, it will be seen, was a poser, #I‘m sure I couldn‘t tell you, sir," was the polite reply, "unless you give me some sort of an idea of when you‘re going to start for Seattle." _ _ "I‘m goin‘ right awayâ€"on this yere train," replied the bronzed man, in & surprised tone, as if he considered it remarkable that the answer man didn‘t know all about Seattle. "I‘m off right soon now." "Let‘s see {lour ticket, Kleuo, and I‘ll tell you when you get there," said the answer man, and after examining the ticket and rapidly glancing over some time tables right at his hand. _ "You‘ll arrive in Seattle on Monday afternoon next at 2.88," be added. "Geewhillikins, that‘s some _ ridin‘, ain‘t 1t?" exclaimed the bronzed one, proudly. "Why, son, they say it rains a heap out in Seattle. D‘ye reckon it‘ll be rainin‘ when I gis theret" The answer man replied that he really didn‘t know whether this was the rainy season in the Puget Sound country or not, and the man with the black glazed bag picked that article up and went away with a look at the answer man that denoted considerable doubt in his mind as to his competency for his job. Ne#t up was another fussyâ€"looking woxfion with three extremely petulant children clinging to her skirts.

New Service From Niger to Mediterâ€" raneanâ€"A 1,000 Miles Desert Route. Though a jou::.ez rcross the Sahara is still an unde ing of some magniâ€" tude, the pacification of the central reâ€" gion by the French has been wonderfully rapid iuring the last five years, Removed as it seems from the excitâ€" ing influence of events in Morocco, and undisturbed by ESenussite _ propaganda, the French officers have been able to establish friendly relations _ with the Tuareg and other Berber _ tribes, and have organized a chain of posts _ right across the desert comnecti Algeria with French West Africa. ng‘he route for the telegraph has been surveyed and a "wireless" installation is being estabâ€" TORONTO lished. int of departure from the north Insaâ€" f:u in the oasis of Tuat, which is some three hundred miles south of the rail head in the Sud Oranasis, Intermediate posts have been established at Agades and the Abaggar,. The oversight of the new route covers fully 1,000 miles of desert. Much is expected in the way of accusâ€" tomirg the wild tribesmen of the Sahara to the new order of things from the reâ€" gular running of this service, and possiâ€" bly some development of trade may folâ€" low. But at present it will be useful chiefly as a means of rapid communicaâ€" tion between the French military posts. It is intended that officers selected for service in or returning home from the Niger districts shall make use of the transsaharan route, which will be more direct and less eo-tlfl than the journey from or to France via Senegal or Dahoâ€" mey. Both horses and camels will be used on the new service.â€"Pall Mall Gaâ€" zette. Nothing New to Him.

A woman‘s eyes are the first objects to attract a mar‘s attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair, the dimple in her chin and the soft, sweet sounds of her volce, the look in her eye remains with him. He may not be able to single her glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with a lot of others; the slippers she made _ him may have been _ worn out by his valet, but still gome particular turn of her glance, some lttle trick of dropping her lashes _ or lifting her brown eyes will be as clear to him as the daylight. Ten years after love has been laid away in his little satinâ€"lined casket that glance will rige like Blll?llo'l ghost at the feast and startle him ijult at the moment when the man is looking most intently into the eyes of another woman. It is not the color of a woman‘s eyes which a man first observes or last reâ€" members, Nine times out of ten a man will turn from the glance of a pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the redâ€"headed girl on the other side of the table, and many a dollâ€"like, blueâ€"eyed beauty weeps beâ€" cause some pugâ€"nosed, tawnyâ€"eyed woâ€" i man has lured away her eweetheart. _ Ask any man the color of his sister‘s eyes and he will look at you blankly.
