No cud of ingenuity is displayed in
getting up devices whuioby a poison
can carry hi1 or her luncheon to tho
oflleo without tho goncrnl public's
knowing it. Therv Is a largo chibs of
thot.0 who wish to rivo tho price- of
their midday meal by bringing tho
food from homo and who yet don't
liko to carry it in mi ordinary bundle.
In tho winturu man may stick the
parcel in his overcoat (rocket or di
vido it and stick half in each pocket
and a woman may lndo a sandwich
and a pieco of cake 111 her muff. In
summer however both these n-
sources nre of no avail
Ono plan is to get an old portable
camenu take the mechimism out
aud use tho bo. to cuny luncheon
uj. This is a capital idea if the man
te not afraid of arousing suspicion ry
tho unusual habit of carrying a kodan
to and fioiu business every day. The
bo. will olten furnish amusement
however. Many persons e&pccrAlly
womeu labor under the fear that the
mau opposite them in a cat with a
camera in his lap wants to take their
picture. They bqumn uneasily in
their seats glare at tho innocent
looking man gaze at tho camera up
paroutly aimed at them and finally
pel Imps go to a seat iu another pai l
of the car They would feel pretty
cheap if they looked into the iustni
ment aud saw that it contained only
a ham sandwich a boiled egg or two
nd a piece- of pie.
Bo.es for holding luncheon nre
also made in tho shape at looks. The
binding ta an exact reproduction of
that of some books the title "Do
chno and Fall of the Roman Empiie
Volumo L" or "Ben Uur" being bold
ly printed on the edge. It may seem
odd that a man should carry one
book six mouths without finishmg it
bo tho bright young mau perhaps
puts a paHr cover such as b used iu
the Mercantile library on the box-
He changes this cover from time tc
time as it becomes soiled and thera
foio appears to bo a great reader.
A sufficiently simple device tor the
pretty typownter is to curry leuiou
nde biscuit and cake in a "dummy"
music roll Tbe objection heie is
that a young woman is haidly likely
to go to a big ollieo building in Wall
street or Broadway to take music
lessons She may carry the roll
there occasionally but if she brings
it regularly every moruing at 0
o'clock and takes it away every after
noon at 5 sho cannot deceive any ono
who sees her ftequeutly and pays
particular attention to her.
It is a trait of human nature how
ever that people iihk themscle?t ten
times asoften "What tire they think
ingof mer" as they actually notice
tho attire or demeanor 01 another.
In all probability not more than one
or two ever bother their heads about
whether the typewriter's roll con-
tains music or muffins If sho would
only realize this she would be less
uneasy and peihaps more uuhappy.
The oddest device ot all was that
of a gii 1 who is a pupil at tho Art
Students' league. This inventive
genius brought her luncheon in tho
tall hnt which she wore an idea that
would haidly lecommeud itself to
many It should bo added that this
remedy soon struck her as worse
than the malady and she now brings
her food in a piece ot paper or gets it
in a leutmiraut. New Yot k Tribune.

There was wot long suico a venerable
and beuovolent judge in Paris who at
tho moment of passing sontenco on a
prisoner consulted his associates on each
sido of him as to tho proper penalty to
bo iniheted. "What ought wo to give
this rascal brother?" ho said bending
over to tho ono upon his right. "1
should say three years." "What is your
opiuion brother?" to tho other on his
left. "1 should give him about four
years." Tho Judge (with benovolence)

THE SLANG EXPRESSION.

Tho "slang" expression or word U
gifted as an institution with httlo lesj
than immortality aud seems a necessity
us well as an evil. It appears to bo
human natuio to desire a bit of slang as
a safety valvo. Where profanity is re-
garded as coarse and offensive the bit of
OAptessivo slang is used as a relief for
pent up feelings and that too by lips
pretty as well as those beatded. Tho
particular woid or phraso changes con-
tinually but blaug per so leinains with
us perpetually.
A history of tho origin of slang ei m?
would prove intoiestiiurliniruisticnl lore.
It wasGevmal Bon Butler who bestowed
"shoo lly' ajmn America a generation
ngo. The gieat public took up this ex-
pression nud "jhoo lly" was used to ox
pi ess a contemptuous disregaul of a per-
son placo or thing. The successor of
this bit of slang cannot bo lecalled but
every succeeding year lias bi ought its
popular phrase or woul a lingual com of
baso metal jot which passes curient
everywhere because stamped by public
uppiovnl.
As T. tho reigning favorito it is "in
it." Its origin is as m all cases involved
In mystery. Ceitninly dcimno Louisa
Alcott in causing ono of her characters
in "Littlo Women" to exclaim "Fuch a
good time and 1 am in it I" did not set
popular feeling in a direction which
made thowoids tho slang phraso of lb'.H
for it is twenty years since "Little
Women" was the book of tho day.
In fact th slang tenn conies fiom no
apparent source iiul disappears into the
yblhionof a j 'ii Till forgotf illness. It
Is kept alive by its fitness for .ill occa-
sions nud becauso it possesses tho powel
of expressing tersely a thought expres-
sion or idea. That absurd cie.iture ol
tlio modern stage tho singer of topical
songs gives wido currency to tho slang
word or expression and if ho weds it tc
a taking catchy melody tho life and
popularity of that slang will bo pro-
longed materially.
The elasticity of slang is its chief
source of alnuwt uimersil acceptation
What does not to bo "iu it" express?
Tho high and tho low find theso small
words stamped with public favor capa-
ble of fitting a thousand situations. In
itn negativo or aflinnativo phraso it de-
scribes the attitudo of the lovor of his
sweetheart the business man 111 fact
every human being is "in it" or not "in
it as tho case may be.
Allied to this reigning favorito is tho
term "in tho soup." Now thcro is na
good reason for assuming that to bo in
tho soup is to be in tioublo to fail to bo a
loser. Tho simile is a crude and almost
stupid one. Yet that mysterious power
which gives slang its currency bestows
upon "111 tho soup" a quality of elasticity
that fits endless subjects.
What tho next slang term will De no
man can tell becauso no man has been
found to give th origin of such torim.
But that a bit of slang will follow "iu
it" is as certain as that tomorrow's sun
mil follow todays. And then "m it
will pass into oblivion thcro to join
"shoo fly" and tho rest of the uniomeiu-
bored host -Pittsburg Bulletin.
Traveling In China.
In north China you may perhaps havi
your choico of threo methods of travel
ing You may if you will take your
place in a spnngless Peking cart a kind
of box or cago with no beat. Tho pas-
senger is obliged to squat on the floor
cross legged or to sit with legs stretched
out at right angles with his body and
as tho cait jolts over gieat stones or
through tho deep ruts in tho road ho is
liable to bo bruised black and blue.
If such a cart looks uninviting yon
may concludo to try a mulo littor. Thi"
consists of an oblong box slung between
two mules which never ki ep step and
vol infrequently quarrel and tho sway-
ing unsteady motion is as bad as that ol
a slip in a heavy squall. Or once
nioie you may prefer to ndo a donkey
with a backbono liko a razor and pioba-
bly with no saddlo and a singlo rope for

"Do jou seo anything ridiculous in
