HUMOR IN A BUSINESS WHERE YOU WOULDN'T LOOK FOR IT. Picturesque and Mirthful Effect* Produced With Paste Pot and Brush—Devil* and Angels Axe Incongruously Mixed Up. -Port So Bills- Goes. All trades have their droll aspects, but that of the billposter is one long vista of fun. He may become an artist comedian of the first order. It does not require much brain weight either. An old fence is his only arena, and his post ers are his stock in trade. His fun is but momentary, but it is potent while it lasts. He accomplishes it by means of the combinations he is forced to make when he posts new bills over the old ones. Some of the combina tions are very funny. Thns he is forced to become a mirth producer whether he will or no, but* there are some among the men who get their livelihood in this manner who intentionally place the new bills where they will produce the oddest 11 but momentary effects. The repcrter watched one of these knights of the paste pot while he pro ceeded to cover np a rather flaming pic ture of his satanic majesty with a bill which portrayed a naval officer in full uniform. The first section put on was the officer's head. As it fitted exactly on to Mephisto's shoulders the effect was comical. The nest section brought the naval man down to the bottom of his coat. From a short distance it ap peared precisely as though he was mi nus his nether garments and stood bare legged in the rising flames which en veloped him to his knees. The billposter chuckled as he surveyed his work at this point and asked the reporter what he thought of it while he covered the officer's nakedness with a pair of trou sers and shoes. The billposter was qnite talkative in his way and spoke of the droll side of his business. 'Did it never occnr to you," said he as he picked and sorted some flaming colored bills preparatory to pasting them on the fence, "did it never occur to you what an odd and amusing.business this is? You saw me put a uniform on the devil. Funny, wasn't it? Well, it wasn't a patch to the effects produced sometimes. These bills have to be changed nearly every week, and the posters get fixed up in the queerest way. I've put angels' heads on devils and devils' heads on angels. I've put a man with a dress coat on where a ballet girl was, so that it look ed as though the skirts branched out below where the coat was. I left it there for a moment while I pasted other bills, and quite a crowd gathered around. A policeman came along, and I had to cov er it up. "Once I had a Salvation Army poster to put up, and when I pasted the top portion of it over a bill advertising the play of 'Julius Caesar' the large blue bonnet of the Salvation Army girl fit ted Caesar perfectly. It was too bad I had to spoil it. "You see that ballet girl on the fence over there? I have got to paste this big cat over it. Now watch me do it." He took a section of a bill with the head of a grinning feline on it and plac ed it so that it fitted to the girl's shoul ders. A halo surrounded the cat's head, and the whole affair had a puss in boots air about it that reminded one of early fairy tales. Near by on the fence was a heroic size negro minstrel, whose im mense teeth showed through lips which stretched form ear to ear. "Now see how I will fix that fellow," said the man of the brush as he got ready a bill on which a large tiger was represented balanced on a big blue ball. The tiger's position was on the upper part of the poster. The first section fix ed the animal's head on the fence, and with the next the body and feet were pasted up. Then appeared a curious ef fect. Where the blue ball was to be pasted the negro's face still grinned, but the tiger was now standing on top of the man's head. ''That,'' said the billposter, *is what I call a real artistic effect. It isn't often an artist can create a Samson in almost one stroke of his brush.'' Following his pasting of the tiger, the man proceeded to put up a bear. On the spo* where it was to go an overfat baby held up a package of a compound much advertised of late. The bear was built up from the feet, which rested on a horizontal bar. The bear's neck and the baby's neck touched the same point, and before the bear's head was pasted up there appeared a combination of human and brute anatomy which could hardly be equaled by a monstrosity in a dime museum. Bill posting has undergone a great change in recent years. It is not the haphazard business it once was—that is, it is not allowable for men to go around pasting bills wherever they could find a fence. Most of the big fences are pre empted now by firms who pay rent for the privilege. The old sign of "Post no bills" is more potent than -it was. Its infringe ment now may mean a lawsuit. It used to be very much disregarded. There is record of a very literal man who was arrested for infringing a sign which read "post no bills under penalty." When the judge asked him if he had any excuse to offer, he said he had not ."posted under penalty. He had posted further along the fence."—New York World. The Brightest Iaght.

Sanaa at taw Tricks of So Called Mind Reader* Solved by Dr. Hyatop. Br. Hyslop of Columbia college* says a writer in the Boston Herald, has help ed to bring down several so called mind readers who have visited New York. The Taylors, a man and woman who gave exhibitions* in New York two years ago and convinced nearly every one who saw them of the genuineness of their manifestations, gave a private se ance for the benefit of this Columbia. professor and some of his scientific friends. They found hidden objects, they picked out cards that had been se lected from a pack and then shuffled in again, ancj all the other familiar tricks, with more than common success, one of them staying in the room and being in the secret, and the other coming in aft er all was ready and supposedly read ing the partner's mind. All went well until Dr. Hyslop and a confederate took the Taylors aback by announcing that they could do the same things. They had found that the words used by one of the "mind readers" in calling the other into the room were what gave the desired information. It was discovered that by skillful arrange ment of not more than six words a sur prising amount of information could be conveyed. This is the first time the fact that the Taylors were not genuine mind readers has been made public. Another "mind reader" exposed by Dr. Hyslop and coinvestigators was Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New York recently and astonished hundreds of persons, most of whom suppose to this day that his tricks were bona fide psychic phenomena. Guibal's assistant was a woman called Greville, who sat on the stage, and who, so far as could be seen (for a long time, gave him abso- lutely no sign of what was in her mind. Guibal apparently read that mind as if it were an open book. The whole thing was found to be a trick, and the expla nation is now in the archives of the So ciety for Psychical Research. It is be lieved that Guibal and Greville were the same persons whose performances had amazed London not long before. The woman breathed very heavily, and the code of signals lay in the manner of her breathing, messages being conveyed by long and short breaths, something like the dots and dashes in the Morse telegraph code. CURIOUS TEA PARTIES. The Odd and Eternal little Functions That Are Held I Pearl Street. There is an everlasting tea party in function on Pearl street, near Hanover square. An aroma of freshly steeped leaves fills the air all the week, and fol lowing your nose to the cause you will find it pointing down to little gloomy basements where teacups are perpetual ly spread. They are all plain white cups, and there is no display of table cloth or dainty cakes—just plain tea. And the methods of the tea parties that foregather there are just as plain and unceremonious. They generally consist of old gentle men of severely respectable appearance, and when these- old parties feel like it they go down the basement steps and take a pinch of tea out of a caddy or suacer, or whatever it may be kept in, and put it in the cup and pour a little hot water on it, but never any milk or sugar. And then, despite their eminent ly respectable air, they dip their fingers in the cups and stir the tea leaves about or maybe fish out a leaf and unroll it, sometimes putting it in their mouths and chewing it. But, strangest thing of all, they nev er drink their tea after all the trouble they have taken with it. In fact, they seem to take a strong dislike to the in fusion as soon as it is before them. Sometimes they sniff at it, and if ever they take it into their mouths they do but roll it around and spit it out. Moreover, they will do the same things with half a dozen cups in succession until Dr. Johnson—unless he knew the reason—would have cried out at the waste of the cheering but uninebriat ing beverage. Meanwhile other gentlemen sit also at the table and anxiously watch all this sniffing and spitting, for these are the tea tasters and samplers, and this ia where tea is bought and sold not by the pound, but by the carload.—-New York S Lucky and Unlucky Vegetables. Peas and beans are very important plants in folklore, and there are many superstitions connected with them. Peas were favorite instruments for divi nation. A pea pod with nine peas was equal to a wishbone when placed above the door. In Northamptonshire it is ac counted generally lucky to find nine peas in a pod, or kid. In Mecklenburg, Ger many, it is believed that peas must be sown early on Wednesday or Thursday, or the birds will carry them off. If they are fed to hens, it is said that fowls will lay welL They must not, however, be eaten during the Christmas holidays nor until after Twelfth day. Beans were mysterious in antiquity. Pliny says they contain the souls of the dead. The Romans used them in reli gious ceremonies. They were used in Greece as ballots, and Pythagoras desir ed his disciples not to "love beans"— that is, not interfere with politics. Our phrase, "You don't know beans," prob ably means you are no politician. Ovid prescribes beans to expel evil spirits.— Philadelphia Press. The Place For Shoppers. "Please bother us! Bother us!
