‘ File in oner way for a man to pray,"
Said Deacon Lemuel KeyS.
"And the only proper attitude, '
Is down upon his knees.” '
“No; I should say the way to pray,”
Said Rev. Dr. Wise,
“15 standing straight,with outstretched arm:
And rapt and upturned eyes."
"011, no, no,n no!” said Elder Slow;
“Such posture is too proud. .
A man shOuld pray with eyes fast closed
And head contritely bOWed. "
“It seems to me his hands should be
Austerely clasped in front.
_ With both thumbs pointed toward {11‘
ground,”
Said Rev. Dr. Hunt.
“Las‘ year I fell in Hodgkin’s well
Head first,” said Cyrus Brown,
"With both my heels a-stickin’ up,
My head a-pintin’ down;
An’ I made a prayer right then and them—
Best prayer I ever said—
The prayinest prayer I ever prayed,
A-stundin’ on my head."

A DINNER DIALOGUE.
When I ‘entered the drawing-room
Mrs. Tregunter smiled on me quite
am-iably.
“I want you to take down
she said, graciously.
_ I crossed to Molly at once, but she
would not look at me. I ventured to
remind her of my presence.
“Oh, it’s you, is it?" she remarked
pensively.
“Yes, you’ve got to go down to din-
ner with me.”
She heaved a sigh.
“Is that quite polite?” I asked re
pro-achfully. ‘
She flashed a glance at me.
“Life is a continual pairing,” Sht
observed, standing up and shaking heI
draperies into becoming folds; “and
so seldom with the right man.”
“That is the comedy of life,” I re-
marked.
“And what is the tragedy?”
“Having no partner at all.”
I indicated Miss Allemand, the gov-
erness, who was following alone.
“Poor dear!” Isaid Mollie- “I Will
relinquish you to her.”
But I declined firmly.
“I am afraid of governesses,” ]
said explanitorily. “It was a govern-
ess who wrecked my young life.”
“What did she do?” asked Molly
seriously.
“She declined to elope with me.”
Molly withdrew her arm.
“I fear you are a. dreadful person.’
“I was only fourteen,” I put in, has-
tily.
We had taken our places at the
the table. I like a white shoulder, but

“Is it quite fair to devote yoursell
solely to Thomas!” I ventured tc
ask.
“He says such clever things.”
She flung the words beamingly ovei
her sleeve.
“You mean to inelauate———-” I be-
gan crossly.
“Nothing at all.”
“I don’tthink Miss Allemand ha:
brought you up at all nicely.”
“What do you mean?” she said
turning to me suddenly with a ver
severe face.
“Oh, nothing at all. ”
“You are very stupid.”
“That isn’t the way to speak to your
ma’s guests.”
She scrutinized me.
“I don’ t see what that girl could see
in you, ” she murmwured
“What girl?" I queried eagerly.
She shook her head.
“I oughtn’t to have. said that. "
“But you did say it! And I insist
on hearing to whom you referred.”
She pouted.
“Will you promise not to tel-l?”s he.
replied, after a little pause, heI face
suddenly lighting up with a reguish
smile.
“I promise.”
I watched the dimple growing or
her cheek. She gave a little burst 0?
laughter.
“Mary Vandyke was here his after
noon.” .
“Oh!” "
“She is my dearest friend.”
“HOW nice for her.”
“We have no secrets from one an-
other,” said Molly,
serious.
“Haven’t you?”
My mind rushed helter-skelteI
through the past. Molly kept be
bright eyes on mine, and I saw the
dimple come and go.
“She tells me everything.
Her smile deepened. ‘
“Really?” I, said, fidgeting.
“About the regatta, for instance.’
I .looked at her for a moment. ShI
nodded gravely.
“It isn’t true—upon my honor it
isn’t.”
Ifelt I was reddening.
“And what you said!”
“I assure you. I didn't.”
“And what you—did.”
“I deny it.”
“Its all right,” said Molly, consol
“Shes ver fond of you.”
I gasped.
“I don’t care two pins about her.’
“How can you say so?” asked Molly
reproachfully—“after all that has oc
curred between you.”
"Nothing has occurred,” I cried, des-
spairingly.

She laughed again. It was strange
that a weak woman should rejoice in
a strong man’s agony.
“Of course I don’t care for her,” ]
said boldly, trying to make a stand
_l‘.lolly pursed her lips.
“Of course I don’t believe that.“
“Bitt you must believe it,” I cried
esperately. “I only flirted a. little
with her because——-” '
“Because?” -
“Well, you weren’t there, you
know.”
“Oh, indeed!” She looked at ‘me
severely. You mean you would have
flirted with me instead if I had been
there?"
“Not flirted,” I said, weakly.
‘ What do you mean?”
“If you had been t-,here I wouldn’t
have looked at her.”
“0h, indeed,” repeated Molly.'
“It was only in fun.
was only in fun.” ,,
The dimple began to dawn again.
“Oh, no, she doesnt” she respond-
ed, gaily. “She thinks you are _in
earnest.”
“Nonsense,” I cried.
“She told me so. She told me you
had practically proposed.” _
“You are teasing me,“ I said crossly.
“Am I indeed? Wait and see.”
“It can’t be true. Say it isn’t true?”
She gave another little- burst of
laughter. V
“Of course you don’t mind,” I said,
bitterly; “though it was all yo-uI
fault.”
“My fault!” cried Molly. “Well, of
all t-he—-”
“Why weren’t you at the regatta,
then?” I asked. “You see what you
have done.”
“I take no responsibility,” said Mol-
li-e hotly. “Good gracious; if I had to
be responsible for you!”
“I wish you would,” I said, earnest-
ly. - .
“It’s no use talking,” said Molly
."You must face the music.”
“Why didn’t you tell her I was en
gaged. 9” ,
“What, another of them!” cried
Molly, looking serious.
“You know what I mean. From the
way you speak, one might imagine l
was a flirt.”
“Um—yes,” murmured Molly.
The truth is there wasn’t a deceni
looking girl there except—”
“Except Mary,” echoed Molly sar-
:astically.
“Well, she isn’t bad looking in the
moonlight.”
Molly turned her head away a trifle
riisdainfully.
“You must save me from her,” J
said after a pause. '
“How can I do that?”
“You must tell herl am already en.
gaged.”
“To whom?” asked Molly, her color
rising slightly.
“To—the-only girl I love.”
Molly’s eyes were fixed on her plate
“Her name?” she asked in a. low
voice.
“SuIely you can guess,”
pered.
Her color deepened.
“Please d-on’ t be absurd.”
“It is the only way.”
“Nonsense!”

_. “Perhaps she wouldn’t have you,"
she said with a mischievous look in
her eyes.
“But you said———”
“I was only teasing you’
“Really?” I cried with a sudden
sense of relief.
Molly toyed with a gram.
“She came to me to say that some-
body else had proposed to her and to
ask my advice.”
“Well.” -
“I advised her to——”
“Yes?,’
“Accept the other man.”
“Molly, you dear girl!"
“So it won't be necessary for you to
get engaged to any one else,” she went
on, looking down.
“Molly, you know I love yo.u’
“Hush!” she Whispered.
“Won’t you Molly—0h, Molly, you
must.”
She turned and smiled.
“What a silly boy it is!”
“I consider we are engaged.”
By great luck I caught one of her
hands beneath the tablecloth.
“There’s the signal. I must go,"
said Molly, hastily.
“Say just one word,” I u1ged.-
“Do you know the little conserva-_
tory?” she murmured, pushing back
her chair.
I opened the door. As she went out

TRIAL OF A SLOT MACHINE WHICH
MAKES _I'I-IIs POSSIBLE.
Three of Them Now Ready for Business—
A Mechanism “finch~ Reject Light Coins
—Lett'exs Transferred to the Postman's
Bag \Vithout His Touching Them.
The latest development of the slot
machine is an invention designed to
make every person his own registered-
letteI clerk and to facilitate the for-
warding of registered mail. The use
of three machines has been sanctioned
by the Postmaster-General, and under
his orders they are to have a six-
weeks’ trial in New York. What may
happen after that is conjecture merely,
but the assumption of the inventor of,
the machine is that if its work is sat-
isfactory, it will be adopted as a. regu-
lar adjunct to thePost Office system.
While the machines are being put
to their special test an agent of the
Post Oflice is to be in constant attend-
ance at each. He will explain the
working of the machine to the public
and see that no one tampers with the
mail. .
The charge for registering a letter is
8 cents in addition to "the regular let-
ter postage. The machine makes the
same charge, assuming that a single
2—cent stamp is suflicient for the regu-_
lar postage. Under the law a letter
prepaid by one 2-cent stamp must be-
forwarded and any extra postage col-
To work the machine you drop a.
silver United States dime into a spout
at the upper right hand side. A square
iron cover flies up automatically and
reveals a roll of white paper. Opposite
certain lines you- write the name and
address of the person to whom your
letter is to be sent and'your own name
and address. At the right hand upper
end of the machine is a small lever.
You press this back and the letter slot
in_front opens and into this you drop
your letter. Then you seize the handle
of a big crank at the right and force it
back until a bell rings. As you do this
the iron cover closes and locks over
the writing tablet. Now you draw for-
ward the big lever until a bell rings.
As you do this a duplicate of your writ-
ing, on a separate slip of paper, is slip-
ped out of the machine at the left
hand side and upon this paper is im—
printed also the Post Office date marks,
the serial number of the letter and the
signature of the Postmaster.» This is
your receipt. Your original writing re-
mains in the box until the letters are
removed, and then it goes with them.
At the same time that your receipt is
printed the letter is dated.
The next thing is to get the letter to -
the Post Office without giving the let-
ter carrier 3, chance to tamper with
either the letters or the originals of the
receipts. The box has a hopper bot-
tom so constructed that it can be
opened only when the mall bag is at-
tached to it. The mail bag can’t be
opened, either, except in conjunction.
with the hopper or at the Post Office.
The strip on which are written the
names and addresses drops into the
' bag'with the letters.
The dimes fall into a brass cylinder
in the order in which they are dropped
into the machine, and the postman, if
he finds a bad one, can tell at 'once,
by running the mover in order, which
letter it belongs to. Such a letter will
be held and its sender notified to pay
the postage in good coin and get his
bad coin back. ,
Aside from this, the machine is con-
structed to throw out bad coins, if they
When the coin first
drops into the slot it goes into a delic-
ate balance where it is weighed. If it
is too much worn to be current the
scale rejects it, and instead of passing
into the machine and starting the post-
ing operations, the coin drops out of a
hole in the front of, the machine and
falls on the floor.
The inventor says he has spent three
years in perfecting the machine—New
York Sun.

panion enter attired in conventional

The Model Cheap Hotel.
While the fashionable world is look-

Waldrof-Astoria Hotel with great in.
terest, another stratum of society is
watching the progress of a hotel in
Bleecker-st., the opening of which will
mark a new era in the housing of men
in moderate circumstances. Many at-
tempts have been made in that di-
rection, but in nearly every instance
the buildings have either been so ar-
ranged that they did not attract a. de-
sirable class of people or the archi-
tecture, decoration—or lack of decora-
tion—or general effect was such as tc
give the house an institution—like ap-
pearance, with no semblance of refine-
ment, comfort orhom'e.
D. 0. Mills, the builder and owner of
the new hotel, which will be known as
Mills House No. 1, gave the subject
long and careful study before he began
building the hotel, and spared neithei
time nor expense in making the struct-
ure as complete and as nearly perfect
as possible.
A clean, comfortable room, fur-
nished with a well-appointed bed, the
floor carpeted and thewindows cur-
tained'and shaded, for 20 cents a. night
is only one of the features of the great
building, which is arranged to accom-
modate in its ten stories fifteen hun—
dred guests. Well-equipped lavatories,
shower baths and luxurious reading
and smoking rooms are at the disposal
of the guests of the house without ex-
tra charge, and a good restaurant will
furnish meals at rates in keeping with
lodging charges. Although every-
thing—I‘OOms, meals, and other accom-
modations—will be furnished at ex-
ceeding low prices, none of those whc
patronize the place need feel that they
enjoy a charity, for Mr. Millswishes ii
distinctly understood that in building
the house he simply desires to give tc
those who will patronize it the great-
est value for their money, and he be-
lieves that even at the low prices.
which will be charged the house will
not only be self-supporting, but will
ultimately yield a revenue.
Bowery Whiskey is Pure.
The morgue keepers of Chatham
square and the Bowery are holding up
their heads and scornfully snifling at
the fancy drink mixers who have a
habit of tWirling their mustaches and
' mashing themselveoin the mirrors 01
the big cafes.
The man who is responsible for it all
sits in a little room near the top of the
Criminal Court building and picks
things apart for the benefit of science
and the health of New Yorkers. Dr
Ernst J. Lederle is the man“. As chem-
ist of the Health Board he was direct-
ed by theChief of the Division 01
Foods to analyze the. various. brands
of drink kno’wn‘to the frequenters oi
the Bowery-lodging housesas “Ken-
nedy’s Curse,” the “Panhandler’s Joy,’
“Graveyard Booze,’i and “Bowery
Lightning.”
Dr. Lederle Spent nine days and nine
nights getting samples of the liqum
and finding out what was in it. He
stated that he had secured twenty
samples of the stuff sold in the
morgues of the Bowery at three cents
a drink. The analysis-showed that the
stuff was only imitation whiskey and
that it was less harmful than genuine
new whiskey. . Good Whiskey, the
doctor stated, contains a certain
amount of fuseloil, while none’of this
oil was found in the stuff sold at the
Bowery morgues. Fusel oil in large
quantities was dangerous,‘~ while the
stuff sold at three cents a glass was
cologne spirits flavored and colored.
“According to the United States
Pharmacopoeia," says Dr. Lederle
“whiskey should contain from 50 to 55
per cent. of alcohol by volume. Of the
samples of three-cent liquor I ex-
amined eight contained 45 per cent. 0)
alcohol, four contained 40 per cent.
five contained 35 per cent, and three

consequence of this decisiOn is that the
price of Tapioca flour, which never has '
had any other name, in commerce, and
which is a favorite article of food, es-
pecially ofthe poor, and starch, an
article of necessity to everybody, will
be increased to the consumer in pro-
