swear, SHY GIRL.
Oh, sweet, shy girl, with roses in her heart,
And love light in her face, like tho§e upgrown,
Full of still dreams and thoughts that, dream
like, start
From fits of solitude when not alone!
Gay dancer over thresholds of bright days,
Tears quick to her eyes as laughing to her lips;
A game of hide and seek with Time she plays,
Time hiding his eyes from hers in bright
eclipse.
0 gentle soulcdt—how dear and good she is,
Blessed by soft dews of happiness and love;
Cradled in tender-est arms! Her mother‘s kiss
Seals all her good night prayers. Her father‘s
smile
Brightens her mornings. Through the earth shall
move
llcr child sweet soul, not far from heaven the
while! —John James Flatt.
A HOLIDAY PASTIME.
A shock of red hair, a pair of the lightest: .
of blue eyes, a dawning, sickly mustache.
and hands and feet of ample dimensions, Phil
Dodd certainly did not very closely resemble
Apollo, or any other of those ancient models
of manly beauty. But his homely fuco
beamed with perpetual good humor, and his
big hands were brown with honest toil.
On this particular afternoon he was weed-
ing in the front garden, with occasionally on
expectant glance down the country for the
stage coach. For the Dodds had been mak-
ing preparations for a. week past for the re-
ccption of summer boarders, who were to
arrive that afternoon in the shape of two
young ladies.
Phil, the only son and heir of tho Dodds,
had at first decidedly objected to “havin’
girls pesterin’ round the place.” But he had
been so far won over by his sagacious moth-
er’s representation of the profits to be reaped
therefrom as to help forwarding the prepara-
tions, even going to the extravagance of
painting 'the buggy and whitewashing the
front fence.
Now, as he stood awaiting their arrival
with an eagerness which he would n'ot haVe
betrayed for worlds, he was picturing to
himself how he would receive them. He
meant; to advance gracefully to the stage
and assist them to alight, with a bow and a
few polite words of welcome, just as he had
seen the city chaps do at the new hotel.
But alas; for human resolves! No sooner
did the lumbering old stage appear on top of
the hill than his courage completon forsook
him, and he ignominiously retreated to the
rear of the house. Thence, from a. screened
retreat, he watched rough,h0nest old Eph-,
rnim Dodd assist two visions in bright summer
costumes and lace parasols to alight, while
Mo. Dodd, fresh from the kitchen, stood in
the doorway, arms akimbo, to receive her
guests.
“What a darned fool I am,” was .Phil’s
mental comment; thinking consolingly, how-
ever, tlint no one but himself knew of his
defeat.
But his next thought; was, how was he ever
to face them at; ten? He would have kept; a.
fast that night, rather than go through that
ordeal, but he knew he could not escape the
anxious mother’s inquiries as to his non-
appearance.
But there was some latent heroism in Phil,
and knowing that the worst must come, he
summoned all his courage and marched boldly
into the dining room at his mother’s sum-
mons. “This is my son, Phil,” announced
the proud mother, with an air which plainly
said, “and I reckon you ain’t seen many like
him.” “And Phil this is Miss Lorraine,” in-,
(limiting a quiet, lady-looking girl, who
iiicrcly bowed and murmured some words of
{jive-ting. “And this is Miss .Vernor," con-
tinu -d the worthy woman.
A white hand was extended, which he
grasped almost mechanically in his big, brown
paw, and a pair of blue eyes glanced coquet—
tisshly at him, as Miss Vernor said, sweetly:
“How do you do, Mr. Dodd.”
Mr. Dodd! It fairly took his breath away.
Surely she must have meant “dnd;” but the
young lady. evidently knew what she was
saying, as she also addressed “dad” as Mr.
Dodd.
That meal which Phil had so dreaded
pamcd off in an extremely satisfactory man-
ner. Miss Vernor completely won “Marin”
Dodd’s heart by the praises she bestowed on
her biscuit and butter, and strawberries;
and she so completely bewildered poor Phil
by the bewitching glances she bestowed on
him that he lost his appetite entirely.
In the long summer days that followed,
the city girls explored the farm, sketched in
' tho woods, and expressed unbounded delight
till-CI astonishment at everything they saw.
And Miss Vernor insisted on pressing Phil
into her service. He must go with them
to show them where the nicest ferns grew,
and the best streams for trouting, and a
thousand and one other things. It mattered
not to the despotic little lady that it was the
busiest part of the haying season, and Far—
mer Dodd’s disgust and chagrin at his son’s
shirking clear of the work “to dance round
after a. couple of gals” were alike unheeded
by her. As for Phil—would he not have
gone to the north pole at the bidding of these
ripe lips, or at a glance from those wondrous,
violet eyes?
His life was a feverish dream of bliss and
fortune. He thought how tame existence
had been before her coming, but he dared
not think what it would be like after her do-
pm'ture.‘ The money he expended in hair oil
‘and perfumerynlmost rendered him bank-
rupt.
The two girls were seated in the “best
room” at the close of a sultry August after-
noon, Miss Vernor vigorously using her fan.
“So this is our last day here,” she remarked,
languidly. “Well, I have rather enjoyed
rusticating, and shall go back to the city
fortified for any amount of dissipation.”
“Yes, I do think the worthy people have
done their best to entertain us,” said her
friend, nbsently.
“Especially Phil,” said Miss Vernor, with
a soft little laugh. “He has really proved
invaluable. Do you know, he has asked me
to go for a. drive with him to—night.”
“lVell, do you think it is quite right to
lead him on as you are doing?” said her
friend, soberly. “He is so innocent—or per-
haps you would term it ‘verdant‘—that I be-
lieve he thinks you are in earnest.”
“I lead him on! “Thy, May, what are you
thinking of i” said Miss Vernor, with a pretty
assumption of surprise.
“Yes, any one'can seethat hols head over '
ears in lovewith‘ you. But‘then ‘-I believe
you would flirt with a gorilla if nothing
more available came in your way.”
“You astonish me, May, by your profound
insight into human character,” said her
friend with a languid smile. “But there is
the buggy at the door, so I suppose I must:
make haste and not keep my cavalier wait-
ing,” and gay, heartless Nell donned her
most coqucttish hat and tripped down stairs
How peaceful'cverythiug seemed,
"With distant echo from the fold and leu."_
as they bowled along the smooth country
road. There was nothing very poetical in
Phil’s composition—he was much better
versed in horse l'Ore than in analyzing nature’s
moods; but he felt, in an indefinnblc manner.
the contrast between the claim of outward
things and his own inward, feverish unrest.
For Phil had resolved to learn his fate to-
night. He had brought Miss Vernor out for
the express purpme of asking her to sharchv‘ ,
name and fortunes. ' True, she did seem
rather above him; but then, had she not
given plain proofs of her attachment to L...-
country and of her preference for himself A
Besides, he was considered rather a. “ketch”
with the farmer’s daughters round about.
There was “Mariar” Black, who would give
her eyes to be mistress of the Dodd farm.
But “Mariar’s” charms puled immeasurably
before those of his brilliant companion.
“So this is my last evening at: Pcnnyvillc,”
Miss Vernor’s dulcet tones were saying. “I
know you must be glad, Phil, we have been
such a bother to you.”
Here was his opportunity.
“I didn’t know—I—I—thought may be
you’d conclude to stay with us altogether,”
he stammered. -
“O, that wbnld be impossible,” she said,
with an irrepressible giggle.
Tho bare thought of spending the rest of
her gayety-loving life with bustling “Marni”
Dodd so appealed to her sense of the ludicrous
that she sank back in her seat shaking with
suppressed laughter. .
“0, when I axed you to stay, I meant, of'
course, for you and me to get hitched,” said
Phil, eagerly, plunging boldly into the mat-
ter. “You must/have seen that I like you a
heap better than any of the gals roundherc,”
tenderly, attempting to embrace her.
But Miss Vernon-’5 self possession had re-
turned, and thinking her dupe had gone far
enough, she said icily:
“I think you are very presumptuous, Mr.
Dodd; what right have you to talk in that
way to me ?”
Phil stared at her aghast.
“What right i” he cried, in a passion of dis- ,
appointment and pain; “why hnin’t you
given me reason enough to think that you
sot something by me? Couldn’t I ha’ got as .
likely gals as there was in the hull country-
side, only I’d rather take you, if you had
been a beggar, than any one else with the
best farm in the state.”
The awkward boy was gone, and a man
with a passionate, wounded heart set there in
his stead.
“I am surprised that you ever thought it
possible I could care for you,” she returned,
coldly. “I never dreamed that you would so
misconstruo my friendship."
Truth to tell,_the potted Miss Vernor felt
just a little embarrassed do 32? 111.5% wrath,
and the rest of. the drive was performed in
uncomfortable silence.
She said nothing to May of this episode,
feeling in no mood for reproachos. Besides,
something in Phil’s face made her conscience
give a few unusual twinges; so, with a feel-
ing of relief that she was so soon to leave the
farm and its inmates, she fell asleep.
How long she slept she knew not, but she
awoke with a suffocating feeling and a sense ,
of impending danger. She .grop'cd 'hergway
to the door and opened it, when a volume of
smoke and flame rolling up the stairway
drove her back, half fainting with terror.
At the same time the sound of excited voices
and cries of “Fire i” from below told her that
the household had also discovered their dan-
gcr.
They called wildly to her to come down,
but when she again tried the stairway, again
the flames drove her back. She sunk down
with a. moon of despair, but some one dashed
up the burning stairs, wrapped her hastily in
a blanket and bore her out of the room.
Down the blazing stairway, us through a.
furnace, they passed. They had reached the
hall; a few steps more and they would gain
the door; but, overpowered by the deadly
beat, her preset-vet sank on one knee with his
almost helpless burden.
“0 God!” cried ' Phil’s voice; “we shall
die I” And then Nell lost consciousness.
1V hen she again opened her' eyes she was
lying on the grass, with May Lorraine’s anx~
ious face bending over her. Dark figures
were hurrying hither and thither, and the
whole scene was lighted up by the glare of
the burning building. _
But whose was that dark, motionless form
borne along on a shutter, with features
burned and blackened horribly?
With a terrible instinctive knowledge the
gay city belle covered ,her face with her
hands to shut out the sight.
She knew the whole story afterward~how
he had rushed through almost certain death
to save her, and had died with her name on
his lips.
Her remorse for her heartless conduct
toward him was keen and sincere. She re-
membered no more his homely features and
ungainly ways; she thought only of the
hero’s soul that burned in that rough frame.
It was no longer the heartless flirt that re-
turned to her gay city home. The pastime
of breaking men’s hearts had lost its old
charm for Nell Vernon And if ever she did
feel tempted to trifle with an honest ufiection.
the sight of Phil’s'white, despairing face, on
the evening when she had crashed his hope,
rose up before her with startling distinctive-
ness, and checked that folly at which the
world laughs—Fireside Companion.
More Rhinestones Than Diamonds.
We don’t see so, many diam0nds us we
think nowadays. Rhinestones and paste are
taking their places 03 as well as on the stage.
There are numbers of women in New York
known to possess jewels worth thousands of
dollars, the cut, setting and appearance of
which life perfectly familiar to society
pedple;‘to thieves, and to a great many people
who cannot be reckoned in either of these
classes. These gems are a regular part of the
entertainment guaranteed to the purchaser
of an opera ticket, and the holder of the
some would feel that implied contract had
been violated if their wearers stayed at home
or neglected to spread a traveling show win-
dow over their velvet corsages in the great
gold casket of the auditorium, with its horse—.
shoe curves of boxes full of the customary
bench show of prize dames, damsels and
beaux. And yet the gems-not; the women—
aro frequently absent when we think them
there. I saw the facsimile of a pretty well
known diamond necklace at a. jewelry
counter a. few days ago.
“All rhinestones,” I was told. “There is a
now method of cutting and mounting them
which bring out greater brilliancy and makes
possible to dispense _with the solid filling at;
the back, whichused to distinguish the stones
at once from real gems. These are safer
things to wear. They relieve the mind from
anxiety about losing or stealing, and so-lndies
are having duplicates of the contents of their
jewel cases made up in rhinestones and the
genuine articles locked away from danger in
safe deposit vaults. It' takes more than a
casual examination to detect the difference.
one so the poor thief has a hard time—New
York Letter.
Didn't Understand the Subject.
Dr. Bartlett, of New York, preached a ser-
inon the other Sunday on the subject, “Build
Battlcments,” and a small boy who didn’t;
catch on exactly was in the congregation.
When he got home lie-went to his mother.
“Say. momma," he said, “there ain’t any
such man in the Bible as Bill Bottlements, is
there?”
“No, my son, not; that I ever heart! of.”
l‘W’cll, then, I’d like to know what Dr.
Bartlett is working him off on the congrega-
tion for."
The mother’s further questioning failed to
elicit any satisfaction, and she didn’t under-
stand the situation until she had in inewed
an older member of the congregation.—

IN A KOCHA RESTAURANT.
An Eating Home Where Hebrew Epi-
curcs Congregnteé-Somo Cheap Places.
Kocha is a. Hebrew word signifying
“clean," and a. kocba restaurant is one where
the Mosaic law regarding the preparation of
food is observed to the letter. There are sev-
eral of these places in New York, all of them
well patronized, for a strictly orthodox Jew
seldom eats elsewhere away from his own
table. -
The Dehnonico of the Israelites is Lustig.
His restaurant is on Mercer street, in the
heart of the dry goods district, and his chef
is a German J cw. Here at midday tho
Wealthy Hebrews of the vicinity congregate
for luncheon. - For forty cents an admirable
meal is served in :the German style 'of cock.
’ ing. It consists Of several courses, barley
or chicken soup, boiled beef or Hamburger
steak, with fried potatoes and sauerkraut,
veal outlet, roast duck or broiled chicken,
with salad, and ‘a compote of prunes and
raisins or some delicate pastry. A dish of
the choicest fruit and a. jar of celery stands
always on the table. ' A small cup of black
coffee completes the meal. No butter is
served with the bread. ‘No milk or milk
,prod'nct is allowed lmthe restaurant, the
' Mosaic law cxpremly forbidding the eating
of milkand meat in any form at the same
~ time. For this reason the Jew "drinks his
- ‘cotfee clear or alntaiiis from it‘hltdgetlier.
At ' noonday ‘ Lustig’s' 'is‘ alwayé‘ crowded
with Hebrews of a distinctively German
type. A spirit of jollity pervades the place, ,
and for a time all thought of business is cast
aside. This is especially true on feast days,
when the menu is considerably amplified.
On such occasions pouItry'Of all kinds is
served; turkeys, ducks, chickens, geese, snipe,
quail, whatever fowl is in season can be had
fresh, and cooked deliciously with herbs and
spices. 0n» fast- days Lustig’s ‘and all the
strictly kochn. restaurants are closed.
0n the great east side of the city. in Essex,
Norfolk, Ludlow and adjoining streets, there
are many so called kocha restaurants. They

vice is filthy iiiid‘tlie filled mdrcely'fit‘to‘eat.
any onepassingihr‘o git. sentiments-tar
may 'see'thern. Theyiai‘einOStly small rooms
in the cellars or, upon the ground floors of
tenements, furnished with a. few wooden
tables and chairs, with a bill of fare, printed
in Hebrew characters, hanging outside the
door. In the windows the shrunken car—
cases of geese are allowed to hang until
blackened with exposure.
A substantial meal, such as it is, can be
purchased in‘ any'of those'places for from
eight to fifteen cents. A favorite dish hero
is a. fish stew, strongly flavored with garlic
and redolent with odor. A'strictly orthodox
Hebrew w'ould turn in horror from such res-
murants, for the underlying principle of the
Mosaic law concerning food is cleanliness. ~

A Dining Room mynery. '
A gentleman who was invited out to .dine,
at a'Delaware‘aven'ue residence lately, ob-
served that the chandelier over the dining
- rOOm table wasiof peculiar construction, 59‘
that there was a light over the head of each
guest. The globes were of various colors,
some amber, some red and some blue. “What
is the object of having the globes of different
colors?” the guest asked of 'his hostess. “\Vhy, ‘
- you see,” said she, “when one gives a. dinner ,
or tea, one may invite some people whom one
perfectly hates. Now last Tuesday I gave a. ,
supper and I had't'o invite two women whom j.
I despise. But I had to invite them or some
of the young men ‘I' wanted wouldn’t com... ,
i had my revenge on my fair enemies, how-
ever. I placed each of these two women under
one of those pale blue lights at the table.
They’re usually considered beautiful women.
but‘ under that light they had the most,
ghastly look you ever saw. They were per-
fect scarecrows, They seemed to have aged
twenty years the'mi'nuto that they sat down.
The men noticed it, of course, but they did ,
' not divine what caused it. They were quite .
taken aback and awfully glum at first. But
finally one of them turned with a. sigh and _‘
began talking too real homely little thing ‘
that was, sitting under a ruby colored light.
Why, she was perfectly charming under it.
So you ’see‘ that-when I want people to look
fectly hideous,- -I put them under the blue
lights? “It: kills everything.” The gentleman
kicked up. He was under a. blue light—Bu! .

HYGIENE OF BEAUTY.
PRESCRIPTIONS FOR MAKING FEMI-
NINE LOVELINESS PERENNIAL.
Keeping the Skin In Good Condition—Vin
ones or the Bath—Blot Puppies on
Food.
Next to regularity of features, human
beauty largely consists in a fine complexion,
to have which it is necessary that the skin
should be kept in good condition. According
to Ovid, paleness was essential to female
beauty in old Rome. Modern theorists of
beauty prefer color in the face, which is cer-
tainly suggestive of health. To keep the skin
in good order, cleanliness is the first requisite.
Between the Russian peasant, who never
bathes, and the neat American. who bathes
every‘dny, there are many gradations, such
as the Englishman who bathes often, the
Frenchman, not of the highest classes, who
bathes occasionally, and the people of other
European nations with whom the practice is
intermittent. In this connection it may not
seem impertinont to quote from a work on
the hygiene of beauty, published quite re-
cently in Paris. Therein we read, after vari-
ous directions for washing the face at least
twice a day, the following remarkable ad-
vice, which is translated literally:
Every week, or at least every fifteen days,
hygiene presents a general bath for cleansing
the person—n. bath of tepid water from 28 to
32 dogs. centigrnde. The bath universally
recognized by legislators is indespensablc as
a means to health. “I would abandon medi-
cine,” wrote Percy very justly, “if I were in-
terdictcd in use of the bath.” .
A buth once in fifteen days would hardly
satisfy the conscience of aneat American nor
N 0 American over thinks of bathing without,
. soap.
in smull‘iniudrity of the people are able to
bath-s soup is an extra charge. The soap used
in bathing should not be too alkaline,
after supplied with an oily fluid by means Of
the pores, this is a question of less import-
ance. If something should be added to the
bath to make it more efficient the question
is, what shall it be? In this matter the ex-
perience of the French will be found valu-
able. If the skin is inclined to eruptions an
addition of sulphur or the use of sulphur
soap will be found efficacious. Baths of bran,
starch and gelatine soften and cleanse the
skin. Cold water baths are not generally to
free use of soap and a lively friction.
Bran or starch added to warm baths in-
creases the unctuousness of the skin, which
plants, cologne water, benzoin, essences of
thyme or Wintergreen, or borato of soda, all
have the effect; of checking excessive or offen-
sive secretions of the skin. Friction with oil
after the bath was the custom among Greeks
and Romans, and is still throughout the civil-
ized world greatly in favor. The Empress Pop
pace. used baths of milk. Blanche d’Antigny,
a noted contemporary demimondane of.
Paris, baths of champagne. In regard to the
celebrated baths of Mine. Tallien, we are left
in uncertainty as to how often she indulged
in the luxury. It was probably only on social
occasibns of importance. Its cost: could not
have been great when strawberries and rasp-
berries cost no more than three or four cents
a pound at Paris. Baths like these, though
luxurious, have only a. secondary hygiene
importance, and are not likely often to be
imitated.
The black pimples of the nose are not al-
ways due, as is supposed, to a small and very
curious worm to which scientists have given
the name of demodex folliculoruni, though
this is found frequently in the skin of man
and of animals. There are in the skin little
glands, the ofiice of some of which is to se-
crete perspiration, and of others the fatty
sebaceous fluid which is intended by nature
to keep the outer coating soft and pliable.
These communicate with the surface by mi-
nute pores inviéible to the naked eye. These
openings sometimes become obstructed, when
there follow several forms of skin disease.
The most simple form of malady, which is
caused by an excessive secretion of the seba~
'coous fluid, which becomes hard and black, is
called by the physicians acne simplex. When
the complaint is more serious it is caused by
the congestion , or inflammation of the ntro'
phy or hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands.
,Then the black points'increnso in size, espe-
cially if the skin is not kept clean, and there
- are larger pimples on the skin which suppur-
ate. Pressing one of these pimples, there
emerges a. long, black, cylindrical object
.which resembles}: worm, but which is mere-
ly fatty matter hardened and mixed with

drop of olive oil or other the worms are some

floating in it.
TITO‘OHTISCS of a bad skin are bad digestion,
had blood and generally a want of neatness.
Even if the blood is not in perfect condition,
if the skin is kept clean, pimples may in
most cases be avoided, which is not saying
that the blood should not be kept pure by all
possible menus. To this end the diet must be
regulated and the digestion kept good. In
this regard the French are exceedingly rea—
sonable. ‘They drink red wine, which is an
excellent corrective, and they rarely drink it-
to excess. They are discreet in their use of
acids, alcohol, rich syrups, smoked meats,
lobsters and oysters. They out little buck-
wheat, fruit or meat pies, sausages, spices, or
other fatty substances. As a. general thing,
whatever may be said of the infrequency
with which they bathe the body, they keep
the face clean and have good complexions, as
a rule. Preparations which French women
use for the face are numerous and can easily
be found. They do not wash the face too
often with alkaline soaps, but clean it with
bean flour, meal or bran, applied with tepid
water and a piece of fine linen. Creams are
Often used. The frequent drinking of milk
is recommended as keeping the stomach,
liver and kidneys in order, and so indirectly
aiding digestion.
There is reason to believe that the skin of
the face can be kept free from pimples by
very simple menus. To this end the body
should be kept clean on account of the sym-
pathy between the skin of the chee't and that
of the face. The face should be washed sev-
eral times a day, whether with warm or, cold
water does not matter much, if immediawa
afterward it is bathed with cologne, which
should not be wiped off, but left to evapo-
rate. Persons who use cologne freely can
safely make it of spirit of ,wine or deodor-
-i.zednlcohol, perfumed with a few drops of
litter of roses Or other essential oil. For the
face and hands the use of brandy or corn
whisky will be found beneficial Then be-
fore retiring something in the form of a.
cosmetic should be applied which is not too
uickly absorbed by the pores of the skin.
Cold creams are good, but they are absorbed
almost immediately. There is nothing so
good for this ".rposc as a well made cam-
phor icc, one v. ion has wax, glyceriue, cam-
phor, and perhaps " :nc pure form of grease
compounded in per proportions. The
wax keeps the other elements from being ab-
ailrbcd too quickly.—-Snn Francisco Chron‘

MEXICAN LOVE MAKING.
THE; SOCIAL LAW OF MEXICO WHICH
SEPARATES LOVERS.
1 Case of “Doing tho'Bcnr Act"—Ouo of
tho Peculiar Soclal Customs of Our
Sister Republic Which is Sometimes
Waived.
An American, just arrived in the city of
Mexico, made, as he thought, asensational
discovery. Ho was going out of his hotel
one afternoon, when the actions of a Mexican
in an upper window act-om the street attract-
ed him. Tiio‘Maican was well dressed. His
silk hat was'glossy. His little high heeled
boot; were polished, and he carried an orna-
mental walking stick. Ho was keeping back
from the window with the evident design of
concealing himself from general view, and
at; the some time was trying to get somebody
in the upper part of the hotel to look his
way. , .‘
“A masher l’”the American said to himself.
“And a mighty. hold one,” he added, after
watching the antics for ten minutos and fail-
ing to discover that any response was made
to them. '
The next day about the same hour the
American repeated his discovery. Mr. Mexi—
can, in all his glory, was at the upper win-
dow, and the one sided pantomime for the
benefit of somebody in the hotel was still
going _ on. This hotel was the one most
patronized by visitors from the states. The
American minister was, living there. So
were the reprgpitatives.gf_a,1big Agreement:

' thmsclf,.,with amenacing look toward the

the bear-octlnienns in Mexico.”
.One ofthe curious social customs of the
sister republic bars the deer when two young
--pcoplo becomemengaged to ,be married.~
Thencefbrward the lever visits his beloved
only in the presence of the rest of her family
and at formalf intervals. In lieu of “sitting
up” with his girl he “does the bear act."
This consists in finding an advantageous
position which commands a view of the sen-
orita’s window, and taking possession of it;
during leisure hours. Long loving looks are
exchanged, nix) pantomime, and occasion-
ally when the street isdeserted the maiden
will come from behind the lattice, and stand-
ing on the balcony carry on a rather re-
strained conversation with the wooer on the
pavement below or perhaps across the street.
This is What is called “doing, the bear act.”
The young Mexican whose queer conduct
opposite the hotel had excited indignation
.was not nmaslcr, but an exemplary young
gentleman of most honorable intentions. He
was-tho accepted lover ofnhigh born-sen-
orita, whose father had apartments in the
hotel, and he was pursu lug hi5: courtship ac!
cording to the customs of his country. It
wouldhnvo been a sad mistake to have
kicked him down stairs, and might have led
to international complications. .
Sometimes engagements are protracted in
this country by circumstances over which
the lovers have no control. In these cases
“the bear act" goes on season after season
until everybody for blocks around gets in the
’ way of expecting to soothe faithful swain
put in his appearance at a. certain hour of
the day and misses him, almost as much as
the girl does if he stays away. Instances
where lovers ‘liave kept up this wooing at a
distance for threennd four years are told of.
The custom is not often waived. But bluff
Old Goa. Mier y Teran set society at defiance
not long ago. His adopted daughter had be:
come engaged to a. worthy young gentleman.
The latter had hired the use of a. room in a
house acrom the street and had begun to carry
on the usual pimtoinime.
“Tell him to quit that,” said Gen. Teran to
the ladies of his family, “and to come here
and see the girl whenever and as much as he
likes. They are going to be married in a
couple of months and there needn’t be any
nonsense about it.”
The young man came. Everybody talked,
but the comments didn’t bother the old gen—
eral half as much as the buzzing of so many
flies would during his siesta.
An American railroad engineer on the
Mexican National, who married a. -Mexican
lady, told how he put his foot down against
the idea that an engaged couple must be al-
lowed no privacy. After it had been ar-
ranged thnt there was' to be a wedding he
went to see his betrothed. The members of
her family, one and all, came into the room
immediately and endeavored to make things
agreeable for him. They sat him out and he
went away disappointed. The second visit
was no different. Mother, sisters, brothers
and even the father remained in the room
all the time. .
“The third time I called,”- said tho engi-
neer, “I took the old gentleman One side and
reasoned with him. . Hosaid _ litmus the cus-
tom of the country not to leave engaged peo-
ple by themselves. ._ .Ltold hlmit wasn’t the
custom of my country, and 'I didn’t like it. ~
If I was to obeitrusted with the girl after
marriage I couldbe trusted with her before.
If I couldn’t visit the house and see her by
herself I would stayaway for good. That
brought the old gentleman ,to terms. Ho
consulted then-est 6f the-family-and then an-
nounced the ,decisiofithat I was to be per-
mitted to do my co .. g'the American way.
After'that when-;I.=.went to call the other
members of the family would greet me all
round ,andthen; get .up and file out of the .
room, formallyaud solemnly, as if they were
doing something very serious. When I got
ready to leave,»thc _.whpl_e family, under, the
lead of ,the old gentleman, would march in
and bid megood night . The programme was
a little embarrassing at first; It was canted
out in sucha way as to , makemefeel that a
great deal was being conceded to me.”
The engineer, who is an intelligent man,
went on to talk about his relations with his
wife’s family after He said they
always made him feel at' home when he vie:
ited there, and he gave it~ as his conclusion,
from personal experience and , general 0b?
servation, that the Mexican mother-in-law is
a model. W hen .'the senorita becomes the

GAMES on THE FAK n.
SMALL SCHEMES THAT LOOK HON~
EST BUT ARE DECEPTIVE.
[low the Ring Trick Wins—The Tripod
and Gripsack Man—Smuggleil Shawls
\Vhich Entrnp the [Inwary—Tllo Sailor
and His Cigars.
There are a thousand and one ways in
which the unsuspecting resident or the bu-
colic visitor in New York may be relieved
of his money without in the least suspecting
that, he is being defrauded until the opera-
tion has been performed. There are innu-
merable schemes daily in operation in this
city by which a great and greedy army of
social harpies manages to take in quite a. con-
siderable revenue from their practice.
Perhaps the most successful of these little
games is that one generally described as “the
kid glove racket.” The method adopted in
this game is very simple, but is nearly always
successful because it works so strongly on the
imagination and appeals with such peculiar
force to the gullibility which rc-poses in the
mind of the average man. The gentleman
who plies this interesting game may be met
frequently on Broadway, between Four-
teenth and Twenty-third streets, and along
the Bowery. He selects a pedestrian who
from his appearance may become n’likely
victi'm. He walks close beside the man for a
few paces when suddenly he stoops to’the
ground and picks up a. dark object.
~ . “A also In IT.” , .
' Naturally the curiosity of the prospective
victim is aroused, and he wants to‘ know_ ~ 3’
what the young man hnsfound. “I’shnw,
it’s only a kid glove, d—‘itf’exclaims that
individual, as he makes a motion as if to
throw it away. He mstrains himself with a
struts and cries: “There’s a ring in it,,by ‘
gosh! Just feel it,” and the man nddrcmed
feels, while, surely enough, there it is. Then
the young man draws out the ring, and,
holding it at arm’s length, exclaims with a
satisfied smile, “Ain’t she a. beauty, though?”
and “she” is, if glitter and size count for any-
thing. To prove that the ring is a. valuable
one he offers the glove for inspection, and
this being always of the best description, nat-
urally excites the belief that a person wear:
lug such an excellent glove would naturally
wear a valuable ring. By this time the vic-
tim is in good shape, and the young man of-
fers to soil the ring for $5. It is too much,
the man says. . .
“Oh, well, I’m dead broke and you can
have it for $2.” At this price the victim-
buys, and he walks away with the pleasant
impression that he carries a bargain with
him in his pocket which cost the young man
who sold it just three cents. He soon learns his
mistake, but seldom tells others of how neat—
ly he has been scooped, and consequently the
young man who works “the kid glove racket” -
goes along serenely on the road to wealth.
Any person who passes along the Bowery
during the afternoon will probably notice a.
man who, in and out of season, wears a high
white battered hat, akind of linen duster, n
woolen mufiler around his neck and a re-
markablyred nose. He carries with him a‘
portable tripod or stand and a. weather beaten
gripsack which he unfolds and erects at a.
spot near Canal street, where there is always
a. great throng of passersby. He glances
around to see that no hated “copper” is in
sight, and then he is ready for gudgeons.
His game is a modification of the three card
trick, or a still further illustration of the do-
grce to which the now you see it, now you
don’t act, may be carried. He has a hole
about two inches square cut in the partition
dividing in two compartments of the grip-' ‘
sack, and in the outer partition are four or
five small posteboard boxes, something like
those made to hold cigarettes.
He picks up one of the boxes, and, pulling
out its drawer, shows therein it five dollar
bill. Then he announces to the crowd which
gathers so easily on the Bowery that he will
, allowanybody to draw that box who can do
soliy paying $1 for the privilege. The crowd
is not desirous to try, when suddenly a tough
young, man wearing a pen jacket ornamented
with great mock pearl buttons, says he will
try. He puts down a. dollar, draws a box,
and lot it is the one containing the bill. .
rm Turns 11‘ AGAIN. ’
lIe invests another dollar, draws again, and
regulate issuccessful. The red nosed man
expresses his disapproval of his ill luck, but
announces that somebody must win. The
young man with the pea jacket says he will
not try again, as ho is $8 in pocket and is
happy, and he disappears from the scene. By
this time several men want to try their hands
at the drawing—it looks so simple! The first
one draws and finds his box contains a. cake
of soap. He tries again, with a like result.
Nothing donated he slaps down another dol-
lar for a chance, but fails to get the box with
the bill.
Of course that particular box is always
droppcd skillfully through the little slot in
the partition. Then other observers try their
luck, but the result is always the same—they
come out losers. When the crowd is pretty
well worked the red nosed mun gazes down
the street and cries with a start, “Here’s a
cop,” and suddenly bundling up his traps he
disappears down Canal street. Of course
there is no “cop” in sight, and if any person
should follow the red nosed man he will find
him in company with the young man with
the pea jacket in a. saloon a. block away,
drinking milk punches while chuckling over
- their luck.
The most enterprising and elaborate of all
petty swindles is the “smuggled shawl” busi-
ness. This is really an artistic little idea,
and the man who practicm it deserves to be
called a Napoleon of {innocent his way. He
dresses in a uniform similar to that worn by
stewards on first class ocean steamships. His
story never fails to make the desired impres-
sion on his victims.
He goes around in tenement houses during
the day while the lords of creation are at
ivork and he carries a parcel which he do.
'> clares contains a shawl of rare value which
has been smuggled from France or Timbuc-
too or some place far away. Sometimes it
is silk he offers, but his makeup and tho
plausible story he tells usually get him apur-
chaser. In this way the guilelens housewife
buys a. Shawl for $20 which the rascal gets
wholesale on Catharine street: for $10 a

Strange and lilysteriouo Fact.

called my attention to a strange and my;-

ticed that in nine cases out of ten the disease
was found in the homes of families living on
the south side of the streets running cast and
west, and on the east side of the streets run-
ning north and south. She wanted to know
my opinion as to the cause, but'I must con-
fess I was unable to give her any informa-
