In a little fruit shop owned by a Greek in New York City is this sign: "Open from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M., including Sundays and holidays." The question was asked of this devotee of work," Who buys your fruit at midnight?" "I sell more fruit late at night than in the daytime," was the answer; "people in this neighborhood are hospitable, and when friends come in they want to give them a treat, and send out to get some nice fruit. Somehow they are more free in spending money at night than for their meals during the day. So I have to keep open late. But soon I get a partner; then I have time to sleep."

"Some blackleg has been introduced into this section, otherwise cattle are in good condition and doing well." Most people on reading the opening clause of the above sentence will form a mental image of a swindler at the race-track, though why such a person should be called a "blackleg" is not clear even to philological students. The secondary association of the word, that with cattle, is self-explanatory; the disease so called manifests itself in the afflicted animal by the the black appearance of the leg-"black leg."

Apropos of the difficulties that our foreign-born friends experience in learning "United States," a subscriber writes: A boy born a Dane and raised in a German family came to me and said, "Will you borrow me your wheelbarrow?" and when he saw me smile he said, "I mean, can I lend it from you?"

What is the chief physical work attached to the Presidential office? Some might say golf-or tennis- or walking from the White House to the Capitol. A writer in the Century," however, says that the task of shaking hands is by far the most exacting of all the physical labors of the office. "After shaking hands with a few thousand people at public receptions, not only are the hands tired, but the neck and shoulders ache all over." President Wilson, it is said, has limited the number of public receptions, but still has to shake hands with several thousand persons every month.

The Japanese Emperor found time even amid the world war, in which his country has taken an honorable part, to announce to his people a theme for a New Year's poem. And an American resident of Japan, the Rev. Clay MacCauley, was one of those who responded to the invitation. The theme was "Snow on a Distant Mountain," and the poem (called a "tanka ") must, according to the rules of Japanese poetry, consist of thirty-one syllables in five lines. Here is Mr. MacCauley's "tanka," as printed in the Boston "Transcript:"

"Eve of lowering sky;

Night of tempest, wind, and rain;

Morn of radiant calm

See! Mount Fuji's gleaming crest,
Storm-free, bears a crown of snow."

New Orleans, according to Julian Street in "Collier's," has a new ambition-to become again the second seaport of the United States. To this end she is bending every energy and devoting every thought. "Speak of her picturesqueness, her gift of laughter," says Mr. Street," and she will listen with polite ennui; but admire her commercial progress and she will hang upon your words." This very new New Orleans has little in common with the old pleasureloving, semi-tropical city of the past, whose spirit was embodied in the annual Mardi Gras carnival. Even the carnival has now,

it is said, been touched by the new idea. Last year, for the first time, it seems, that festival included an industrial pageant glorifying the city's commercial renaissance.

An old farmer, says "Everybody's," stopped to watch a golf game. "What's that?" he demanded, curiously. The players gave him a few points about the game and asked him to try a shot. He took the club, sighted, and gave a mighty stroke. The ball wound up a hand's-breadth from the hole-a phenomenal shot that made the experienced players gasp. "By George, I missed it!" the farmer exclaimed..

The term "Gentlemen," as used in public address or public notices, is passing, it seems, in England, and "Men," with a following peremptory command, is coming in. An English correspondent of "Motor Travel" dislikes the change. When one has been publicly addressed, in the plural, "Gentlemen!" all his life, he says, the words of the average sergeant, when he shouts at a disorderly herd of English. gentlemen, "You-men!" seem almost insulting in their abruptness. But "men" and "women" certainly appear to be more fitting terms of address in these stern times than the softer words "ladies" and "gentlemen," and the British public will doubtless learn to like them.

"Don't think the dictionary is an uninteresting book," writes a correspondent. "I turned over the leaves of one the other day and came across these three bits of information that were new to me: A merchant tailor is a tailor who furnishes the materials for the clothes that he makes.' A morganatic marriage is sometimes called a 'left-handed marriage,' because at the nuptial ceremony the left hand is often given.' A monopode is one of a fabled race of men having but one leg. These are described by Pliny as possessing a single foot so large that it served when held up to shade them from the sun when they lay down to rest.""

A clergyman, the "Christian Register" says, in musing on our common mortality, gave vent to his feelings in this remarkable apothegin: "We're here away and to-day to-morrow."

People who are occasionally unavoidably late at a theatrical performance may have occasion to thank an inventor who, according to "Popular Mechanics," has devised an electrical appliance to help them find the to their seats. It consists of a small way electric sign, reading "This Way, Please," which is suspended on an usher's back by means of straps over his shoulders. The latecomer will be able to follow the bearer of this illuminated sign without difficulty amid the semi-darkness of the theater's aisles.

A newspaper despatch from Russia tells of attacks by packs of wolves on wounded men at the front in Poland. Thus a new terror is added to the risks of battle. The excessively cold weather in Europe has probably emboldened these savage animals to attack men. A curious fact in this connection is that wolves have been exterminated in the United States east of the Mississippi, while they have succeeded in holding their own in many of the far more thickly settled countries of Europe. Are Americans better hunters than Europeans, or is the European breed of wolves more cunning and courageous than that which formerly harassed the farmers of the Eastern States?
