QUEER TRADE. g
1|. Chicago Man Makes Mont-yes s Profe-
clonal Lemon I’eeler.
A man has earned the title of Lemon
John because he knows how to remove
the peel from lemons and prepare them
for immediate use better, perhaps, than
any other man. He developed what he
regards as an art in a West Side saloon.
He practices it now in as many saloons
in the down town districts as he can
visit between midnight and dawn. He
is a short, thickset. unassuming pcrsnnn
age and as methodical as he is doll; with
his sharp little knife. He enters a saloon
with a more nor] of recognition: toward
the ofliciutiug dispenser, steps hastily
up to a corner of a bar. reaches out me-
chnnicully for his supplies and gets down
to business at once. A lemon in his
hands seems to be in the power of a
magician and loses its hard, thick cov
ering with n swiftncss and slickucsl
that never fail to astonish an unuophis-
ticntcd spectator. It nineteen from the
ordeal with only the filmy white cover-
ing that comprises the inner layer of the
peel, and this covering. when John is
at his best, never shows a scratch or a
tour. The finished lemon looks as if it
had been subjected to some machine ap-
plication. This process is repented until
the stock of lcmons in the saloon esti-
mated us the probable supply for the
day has been exhausted. Then John
proceeds to the next patron.
Saloon keepers use. a large number of
lemons, and ordinarily their preparation
for use is made by the barkccper at the
time he may be mixing a drink. Then
he has not the time nor the skill to rc-
movc the bitter peel, and it often spoils
the taste. of anoiherwise pleasant hover.-
agc. When John appeared on the scene
and offered to do this work ntnnomiual
cost, Ilrst one and then another gave
him it trial, until his business is flour-
ishing and apparently a monopoly—-

Where Divorces Am flifllonlt.
The divorce laws of Iceland form a
guarantee for the best protection of
women against the caprices of “clmngc-
ful man," says Lud'us‘ Home Compan-
ion. If for any reason husband and wife
cannot live harmoniously together and
decldo in upstate, they go before a
clergyman, who uses every power of
logic and persuasion to induce them to
reconsider their determination. Failing
in this, they are granted a letter of sop-
uratiou, and each goes his or her own
way. If there is only one child, this
goes to the mother; if more than one.
they are equally divided. unless one of
tho parents is regarded as unlit In train
them, in which misc they are all given
to tho other. After they have lived
apart for three. yours and are mill in
clincil to remain separated the iujnml
party may apply for a divorce, and if
the application is based on Scriptural
grounds it will bogmnlml. leuvingcuch
free to marry again. The fact that there
is no “smial evil" on the island shows
the high moral slums of the women.
