And so our love died out forever more—

Unless.
Still fair and changelam on some happier shore;
Where (like a harp that mourns in silent sorrow
The “vanished hand“ that left its music mute,
And yet may wake to life and song to-morrow,
Andyleld to Art its wealth of golden fruit).
It lives—the love that for a space was given,
But slept too soon because it was too sweet
To ripen in the sunshine of that heaven
Where joy is infinite and bliss complete.

THE ADVENTURE OF A DAY.
Two friends who wander by the shore
Look notupon theselfsamesess,
Hearing two voices in the mar,
Because of dikerent memories.
For him whwe love the sea hath drowned
It moans the music of his wrong;
For him whose life with love is crowned
it breaks upon the beach in song.
—J. D. 5.
To many of us life is not unlike the alpha-
bet game of anagrams. We are given a few
letters, and out of them wespell what we can.
Sometimes we fail entirely; fate gives us
all consonants; or, if we have vowels also,
we are stupid and do not see combinations,
and it is confusion to the end. Sometimes
we get the wrong word, and find “evil” where
we should have spelled “live.” Such mis-
takes give a false keynote, and our days never
come into time as they should; but, good or
bad, life allows us to do our own spelling.
When John Elliot was three-and-twenty
an uncle died and left him $500. In iinelf
$500 is not to be despised, but it is always too
much or too little for a working basis For
a year John reflected on the question what
he should do with it, and then he decided to
go to Europe. The matter seemed simple
enough to him. As a capital for business: the
legacy was meager, and it was too much to
fritter away in fractions. If he kept it for a
rainy day, how was he to know that he
should not have the luck of the old woman
who saved her supper for her breakfast and
died before morning! But if a man is to live
in the world, surely he should see it, and what
isensier to do when one is four-and-twenty,
untrammeled, and full of good health and
spirits, and with a purse in the pocket!
So John took a year’s holiday from his law
studies and sailed to Havre, and he staid
away twelve months and sixteen days, and in
that time he saw much and had many ad-
ventures. But as his fortune was small and
Europeislarge, hehad tomakehisownlegs
carry him over a great deal of ground.
One day in the fall of the year, when the
chestnuts were ripening, John was walking
along a narrow defile in the mountains of the
Sierra Nevada. Far above him rose the
rocks, bare and stony; but his own path was
shaded by trees, and he walked over grassy
ways. Quite early in the day he sat down by
a brook which ran down a stony and precip-
itous bed, and let the peace andrest of the
silence bring him dreams. If he had but
known it, upon this very stone there once had
sat a Moorish knight, wounded in the fight in
the defile. Here his squire had unbuckled his
visor and watched the death shadow—which
is always gray—steal over his face. But of
this John knew nothing, and he contentedly
whistled as he sat there; and if he thought of
Christian and Saracen it was only in refer-
ence to Granada, to which he was going. He
thought of robbers, but he was as ignorant of
them as of Moors, and feared them as little;
and indeed in all his walking he never met a
bandit. After a time he arose, and to the
time of “Annie Laurie” took up his march
again; and ifthere is a better test fora
whistler than is this tune I do not know it.
Suddenly he heard a shout from the rocks
above, and looking up he saw a Spanish sailor
waving his hand.
John had gone to Europe lmowing no lan-
guage but his own, but he had picked upa
few phrases in Spanish, and so he called back
and said he thanked the gentleman very
much. It was not, perhaps, a very apt reply,
but John had not understood what the sailor
hadsaid, and the phrase sounded Well, and
had the advantage of being in the language
of the country. The sailor was, however,
not satisfied, and again he called, and this
time John assured him that all be, John,
owned was at the distinguished gentleman’s
service. But even this did not please the
manger, who then thought it wise to run
down and join John, and thus try the efiect
of a nearer intercourse. He was a. handsome
young man, a little older than John, and his
clothes wore so beautiful in color and so well
suited to show off his vigorous figure and fine
face that John wished himself an artist, so
that he might make a study of so clean and
p'eectlpresque a subject. Yet it would have
more to the purpose had he been a lin-
guist, because then he could have answered
the sailor, who seemed to be in doubt about
the road. It would, however, have been
of no use to have understood Spanish, the
sailor’s command of that language being
even more limited than John’s was. But the
sailor stammercd along until John betook
himself to his own language and said he was
an American, and spoke only English. At
this the sailor smiled, seeming well pleased,
but he replied in German. Then they looked
at each other and laughed, and began to
walk on side by side. Of course they talked,
and were very polite to each other, and
seemed amused and pleased to be together, so
it mattered little that they did not under.
stand each other. But this will happen
when tnlkersspeak the some language, and
even if we use the best English there are
times when our nearest friends do not com-
prehend us, and their interpretation of what
we say is astonishing to be believed.
But these two young fellows had no fear of
being misunderstood, fancying that neither
was understood at all. They told each other
stories, and laughed together, and pointed
out what they liked, and grumbled over what
they did not. They gathered chmtnuts and
acornsas two children might, and about noon
they lunched together under the shadow of a
rock on which a pine tree grew. When they
opened their lmamocks, and one brought out
wine and the other olives to eat with their
bred and cheese, each nodded approval, and
like good fellows made free of each cther’s
provisions, being sure of welcome. Then the
sailor took up some salt and laid it in the
of his hand, and John taking a pinch
from it, the two of them ato- salt together,
and the German embraced the American,
and they both again laughed But really the
air was so exhilarating, and they were both
so young, and full of vitality and heppinem,
that they laughed as babies cry, because it
was the thing they could most easily do.
Whether the sailor’s road was the same as
ulsown, John did not know;but they kept
on together, going steadily southwest towards
the city of Granada, but being still two days’
journey away from it. When the sun had
turned toward the west, and all the shadows
pointed east, the sailor began to sing. His
voice was baritone, but it wssso high that
had an Italian singing master had the train-
ing of it, he would have pulled it up into a
tenor. He would have done this because the
Italian of today scorus the medium registers,
and would rather sing high then sing well.
But John prickcd up his ears to hear the
song. It was old enough and was plainly
enough suggested by the scenery, and it was
V937 Well sung indeed, although it was writ-
ten for the Zerlina of Fro Diavolo, who is
not usually a baritone.
After singing a few bars, he paused, looked
up at the sun, and said: “Es ist drei Uhr
zwanzig Minuton.”
He was not proud of his voice, but he was
of his skill in telling the hour by the sun.
But John understood it as a challenge, and
he at once took up the air and carried it on.
And they understood each other’s operatic
Italian
John’s voice was a good clear tenor, and
when he took his high notes, with a fine
flourish of his arm, who ever applauded a
prime done as the sailor did J ohni And
they nodded and smiled in great glee. So
then they quit “Fro. Diavolo,” and the sailor
broke into the duet between Lionel and
Plunkett; and thus the two road mates sang
much of the opera of “Martha” to the rocks
of Andalusia. But what entertained them
best was the discovery that they could sing
to each other what they could not say.
When the sailor thought to compliment John
by "God Save the King,” John stopped him
than by “Yankee Doodle,” and this was
plainer than a passport could have been. so the
salloragaln embraced him, and said something
about Chicago, which John replied to by de-
nouncing the Anarchists and by singing "01d
Hundred” He chose this staid and ancient
melody, not because it bore upon anarchy,
but it seemed to him at the moment the most
peaceable and orderly tune he knew. As the
sailor joined in with him, he supposed he
understood him, and it seemed more like the
“Doxology” than ever.
Then the sailor stood still by a young tree
find sang some of the soprano part from
Tannhauser" in as good a falsetto as he could
command, and fell on his knees before the
‘3ng and looked earnestly on it. John took
this to mean that be greatly admired Wag—
nor, as indeed he did; but still more deeply
did he adore a certalnfraulein whoseng Elsa,
and this was what he meant, and when be
rushed forward to embrace the sapling, and
then fell, back suddenly and in great dejec-
tioion, he meant to express the hard hearted-
:ms of the prime done. It was
ow many confidences they ve one to the
other in 50118. and that neigtllier understood
made no difference. because it is alum
Wife? 'we fiebbt'éthp’r-Ehcn‘déd.
It was, however, to a very pretty Spanish
woman that John sang Schubert’s “Wan-
derer,” and so explained why they were on
the road. She lived in a little house up high
among the rocks, where the goats seemed
more at home than human beings; but when
John had sung to her, and the sailor had by
the drinking song from “Lucretia Borgia"
asked her for wine, she went into the house
and brought out her guitar and sangtothem.
This pleased them greatly, because her
voice was as pretty as her face, and she had a
store of ballads they had never heard. One
of them she taught John, who had used a
. guitar in the days when he was nchorister
and had a soprano voice. It would be hard
totell which of the three was best pleased,
and they were as courteous to each other as
grandee of Spain could be.
When the sun set they separated. John
took the road down the hill to a village where
he meant to spend the night, and the sailor
struck out for the high road where a coach
each evening before dark. — When they
parted the two men embraced each other,
and the German kissed John on both cheeks,
and John kissed him on the lips as he would
his little brother. To thewoman John gave
his silver match safe, and the German fol-
lowed it byasilk handkerchief. And then,
exchanging walking sticks, they parted.
They made, each in his own tongue, many
promises to meet again, and this each well
understood and thoroughly meant. And
they never forgot each other. John never went
near a port or on a vessel without looking for
his German friend in Spanish service, but he
never found him.
His chances, however, would have been
better had be gone in search of a German
baron who had followed an opera singer to
Spain, and who, having failed to win the
lady by his love and his rank, had schemed
to try love and romance. And it would have
greatly pleased John, who wished his road
mate good fortune, had he known that the
story of this adventure, told with enthusiasm
and eagerness, had made the singer pardon
the intrusion of a rejected suitor, and that
the baron, losing no advantage, had at last
bent the sapling and won a wife. And it
would also have amused John had be known
that wherever American millionaires, who
are known to be as eccentric as they are rich,
were congregated, there did the baron look
for his friend. But, after all, it probably
was the Spanish woman who had the best in
the end, because when she went to Granada
with her husband, who was a matador, how
many operas and how much music did she
not hear while she and her friends were look-
ing for the two foreign singers who had
stopped at her house and restedwhile they
ticed their parts—Louise Stockton in
mer’s Bazsr.
CANINE INTELLIGENOE.
Cause and Ducks the Bulldog.
In Youngstown, not a great while ago,
Henry Tod, son of famous old Governor Tod,
owned a handsome Newfoundland dog. Mr.
Tod, at the timelspeak of, lived near his
furnaces. Near by, clustered together on
what is known as Brier Hill, were a number
of furnace hauds’ dWellings.
The most notable member of one of the
households in this neighborhood was a large
bulldog, square of jawand surly of disposi-
tion. He used to sit on the doorstep and
show his teeth to strangers, whether they
happened to be human or canine.
One day a small nondescript pup, a terrier
of doubtful parentage, whose residence was
not far from Mr. Tod and his Newfoundland
dog, chanced to be taking the air and any-
thing else he could get in the bailiwick of
the bulldog. The latter was particularly ill-
humored that morning, and no sooner did be
cast his eyes on the small pup than he gave
chase, caught the poor little fellow and
chewed him up pretty thoroughly before he
let him go.
Yelping at the top of his small voice, the
nondescript pup hurried lamely home. Mr.
Tod’s Newfoundland was on the street as the
abused dog passed. They had always been
great friends. Big dogs, I’ve noticed, are
very apt to make alliance with the smallest
of their fellows, even as the same phenom-
enon may be observed among men. Well,
the big dog observed the lacerated and
touzled body of his small friend, and, if you
believe that dogs can communicate with each
other,a conversation between the two on-
sued. Auy way, from that day forth, the
big Newfoundland and the nondescript pup
were stancher friends than ever. It was
dry weather, and they constantly ran mock
Slices together and rolled about in the deep
ust.
A few days after the encounter in which
the ill tempered bulldog abused the small
terrier so shamefully, there came a spell of
stormy weather. The floodgates of heaven
were opened, and the rain descended heavily
for hours. The gullies which intersect the
slopes on Briar Hill were filled with water.
They were noisy streams, two or three feet
deep, in less than no time.
The Newfoundland dog and small terrier
were observed, at this seemingly inauspi-
cious season, to set out together toward the
houses, in one of which the bulldog lived.
When they came close to the houses the ter-
rier dropped into the wake of his large
friend. The Newfoundland advanced, and
gave a sharp bark as he caught sight of the
bulldog sitting on the doorstep, and trying
to keep out of the drenching downpour.
The bulldog heard the challenge, for such
it seemed to be, and walked slowly, with the
stately determination in his manner peculiar
to his breed, toward the Newfoundland.
There were no preliminaries to the fierce
fight which began at once. The Newfound-
land rushed on his foe and rolled him over,
but the bulldog as he went down got a pretty
good hold of the Newfoundlaud’s throat.
Strange to tell the Newfoundland didn’t
make any attempt toshake oil! his antago
nist. In point of fact, to the spectators who
saw the fight, it seemed as if the Newfound-
land was trying to escape by flight, for he
ran 011’ as soon nsthe bulldog got his grip.
The bulldog hung on, and the Newfoundland
ran until he was at the bank of one of the
deep gullies to which reference has been
made. The Newfoundland didn’t stop at the
bank, however—he jumped into the stream,
which speedily rolled him and tho clinging
bulldog over and over.
This was fun for the water dog, but de
pressing, if not deadly for his companion. A
minute later the Newfoundland emerged
from the gully, but the bulldog no longer
hung from his neck. By the time the New-
foundland rejoined the small terrier, who
had been an interested and anxious observer
of the fight and its sequel, the bulldog also
scrambled out of the torrent.
But the bulldog was not asking for more
fight. He was half drowned, and o. more
muddy, bcdrnggled, forlorn object never was
seen.
So the Newfoundland and the terrier trot~
ted off home, evidently in the best of humor.

THE GAME OF TEN, PINS.
Something of Its Origin and How It Is
Played in America.
Bowling is an ancient and noble sport. At
an early period it was a favorite pastime in
England. It was first played on the open
ound. It was the custom to clean up, shave
and roll the turf and then bowl with balls
which were flat on one side. It became so
popularasa means of sport and gambling
that during the reign of King Henry VIII it
was prohibited by a law, which was not re-
pealed until 1645.
At an early period in the history of Amer-
ica it was introduced in this country and was
very popular.
Every one who has been much in New York
city is familiar with the open park on ' lower
Broadway near the Battery, which is still
known to many as Bowling Green.
In the historic days, when that part of the
city was New Amsterdam, this open space
was used as a public bowling ground. Hence
the name.
In more modern times the game of “bowls”
has been improved upon, and it is now known
as ten pins, and rolled on alleys from fifty to
sixty-five feet in length, made of hard wood
and perfectly even. The pins are set up so
the front pin stands out alone and the pins
follow so that it makes a pyramid, and a
well directed ball hitting the center pin in
the right way will knock them all. These
pins are of swamp elm and weigh about two
and one-half pounds each.
The balls used are of lignum vitae wood,
from South America. It is the hardest wood
known and is without a grain. The» balls
weigh from one pound to twenty, and cost
from $8 to 89 each, according to size. The
pins when set up, as described above, are
called a. frame. In ten pins there are three
frames, and the player is allowed three balls
at each frame. It is possible for him to
make ninety, but twenty-seven is the general
average. If a. man knocks all of them down
at one roll they are reset, and he has three
rolls. If he knocks but a part of them he
rolls at the pins remaining. A large ball
rolled down the alley makes a loud, rumbling
muse.
Washington Irving, in his touching story
of “Rip Van Winkle,” alludes to the distant
mutterings of thunder as the noise of “Hein-
rich Hudson” and his band playing at ten
pins in the Catskill mountains. In ten pins a
large or medium ball is generally rolled. If
it runs off the alley it goes “into the gutter,‘I
and is called a “poodle.”
At the opposite end of the alley is located a
boy, who sets up the pins. His is the stor-
miest position of all, as some of the wild
rollers send a. ball down so swiftly that it is
pleasant to be as far away from it as possi-
ble. The boy rolls back the balls to a player
on a rack that looks like a water drain,
which is elevated a few feet from the floor,
and extends the length of the alley.
It will cost $200 to build and equip an
alley. In the public resorts there are .
ally three alleys together, built at a cost of
$600. For a game with two playing the cost
is 15 cents, and each additional player
increases the cost 5 cents. At the end of
each game checks are given, good for .5
cents at the bar.V—‘-Cinc_i‘nuati Enquiggr,

Sessions in Inndon.

urged upon members the desirability of :
adopting the divided skirt as a distinctive '
costume. She would say that a . woman
dread according to the present fashion took
up at least the space of three men.
Hon. Mrs. Beaufoy Heneage defined to ask,
why not the time, also! Lady Herberton re‘
plied that Mrs. Heneage’s interruption was -
outside of the present discussion. Continu-
ing, she complained that when a woman
traveled with a bag and a rug it was impos-
sible to enter a railway carriage elegantly.
Lady Glencora Abernethy — Then why

Mrs. Gwillism Gwilliam would be glad to
be informed why it should be considered
inelegant to show half an inch of a lace
petticoat.
Lady Harborton thought that the good
sense, she would not say delicacy, of mem-
bers ought to furnish them with the answers
to such questions, if not point out to them
the logical continuation of the inquiry. The
calculation of inches and half inches was
obviously no proper occupation for this
society.

THE SUBJECT OF WAITERS.
What Is Required of Them-White Sero

“Waiting ismuch harder work than most
people think it is,” said a’popular restaura-

4 become proficient in it; they never can; and
MrsGwilliam Gwilliam was greatly obliged .
to Lady Harberton. _ _
Lady Herberton trusted Mrs. Gwdham
Gwilliam would would not mention it. Con-
tinuing, she remarked that ladies traveling j,
in sleeping cars could not dram quickly on an
emergency. Here the Marchioness Lundraie
asked for five minutes of Indy Harborton’s
time. This was refused. The marchioncss
then stated that she had had the advantage
of a strict bringing up among circles to
which the resolution of social questions was
perhaps familiar, and dedred to say that, ac-
cording to the best sense of these circles,
ladies did not travel in sleeping cars. Lady
Herberton beggedtoask how the marcbiouess
had come on from Edinburgh last week.
Lady Landraie replied that the journey
referred to had been taken under exceptional
circumstances. A report had reached her
that her son, Lord Glen Innes, was about to
marry an actrem. She might observe that
she had not gone to bed, but had sat up in a
chair all night. , .
The matter then dropped.
A resolution that women ought not to tires
quickly on any emergency was ofi'ered by
Mrs. Ca‘rnaby Brown, and‘ruled out of order
by the chair. ' . ,
Continuin ", Lady Barberton said that fash-
ion had ordered that women must wear but
one or tw'o garbsathat of Venus [a voice,
“Oh, oh 1”] or that of a Noah’s Ark figure.
Mrs. "Gwilliamj ‘Gwllliam again displayed
some_;agitation.' She would; beg to be in:
formed to which'of Lady 'Harberton‘s types
she was to consider herself compared. ,
Lady Herberton begged to say Venus.
Mrs. Gwilliam Gwilliam resumed her scat.
Dress reform, said Lady Harborton, should
be not a half but a. whole measure. [A voice:
“Is not-the divided skirt a. half measurei’d
Lady Herberton would not notice verbal
pleasantrles. They might be meant as pleas-
antrles, but their efiect, especially upon the
representatives of newspapers present, was
not elevating in tone. She would say that
for obvious reasons the Noah’s Ark figure
had been selected asthe model on which to
clothe the female form.
Several ladies rose and would be glad to be
informed what were the obvious reasons.
Lady Harborton replied, the dressmakers.
Hon. Miss Revers begged permission to say
that the most sensible woman she had ever
known had been a dressmaker.
Lady Haberton—That does not prove that
your judgment is sound.
Here there was some disorder and the chair
was appealed to. After discussion Lady
Harberton consented to withdraw the ex-
pression. Hon. Miss Revers’ request that
Lady Harberton should order a basque of the
dremmaker referred to, was considered by
the chair to be unnecessary.
Lady Harbor-ton must insist that she for
one had no desire to be mistaken for the wife
of either Shem, Ham or Japheth. [A voice
from the platform: “You are not so old as
all that, my dear.”]
Lady Harborton would be glad to know
who was the speaker. Unless the speaker ac-
knowledged herself the chair would order the
platform cleared. _
The speaker not acknowledging herself, the
chair did order the platform cleared. The
editors, however, were unable to carry out
the chair’s orders, and Lady Hni'berton en.
doavorcd to continue. Fashion, she said,
demanded a small waist of women. [Mrs
Gwilliam: “Mine is naturall’fl and she ac-

srn‘ANcs COINCIDENCES.
A Lost Scarab Recovered and Two Old
Friends Exchange Boots.
“Talking about coincidences,” said a young
man to a. group in a hotel lobby the other
evening, “reminds me of something rather
remarkable in that line which bappeuedto
me the other day. You have noticed, per-
haps,” he continued, “that several Washing-
ton young gentlemen wear Egyptian scarabs
us watch charms, similar to this one on my
chain. Well, I met one of these young men
the other day on the avenue, and, in course
of conversation, noticing this little antique,
he said: ‘Do you know I have lost my scarab,
and I am mighty sorry, for it, too. It wins a
genuine antique, and I can‘t replace it. I
thought at first that I would recover it, as I
lost it in the sleeping car coming from New
York to Washington, but all my efforts were
fruitless, and so I have given it up. Now
here comes the strange part of it,’ ” continued
the speaker. “The very next do y I stoppod
on the avenue to have a moment’s chat with
a mutual friend, a well known official at the
capitol. Noticing my charm, be said: 'Whai
is this little trinketl’ I explained, and be con-
tinued, ‘Well, do you know, I found one like
that the other day, and I thought at first it
was a mystical society badge 01" some kind,
and slipped it in my pocket and never thought
anything more about it. 1 found it under
rather peculiar circumstances. I went to
New York the other night, and I was the last
passenger to leave the sleeper in J ersey City.
I made a hurried toilet, but something hurt
my foot, so that I had to take off my shoe,
and the little stone dropped out. I couldn’t
imagine where it came from, and was going
to throw it away, but, noticing the carved
inscription, I changed my mind, and slipped
it in my pocket.’ ”
“I think I know the owner,” I said, “and
soon had the loser and the finder talking
through the telephone to each other, and the
former was rejoiced to hear of the recovery
of his lost scarab. Now, although they were
well acquainted, nothing would ever have
come of it all if both hadn’t noticed my
charm and told of the loss and find.”
“Now. that’s equal to a coincidence that I
knew of several years ago,” said the colonel,
“and it was right here in this hotel office. I
had an appointment one evening to meet an
army captain who had just arrived that
morning from New York. He was a pretty
high liver, and was liable to take a little too
much. He acknowledged to me that he had
had what he called a ‘jag on’ the night be-
fore. He was full before he left New York,
and got fuller with some friends before he
turned in on the sleeper. In the morning he
was somewhat unsteady, but dressed hur-
riedly and came up town. He was very busy
during the day, and although he walked a
good deal he hadn’t noticed until dinner
that he had been wearing another fellow’s
boots, and they were at least a size too large
for him. He had just explained all this to
me in answer to a. question as to how he was,
when I saw him look steadily at a gentleman
who had stopped in the middle of the office
to light a cigar. All of a sudden he jumped
up, hurried across, and, slapping the other
man on the shoulder, exclaimed: ’Why, B—,
old boy. how are you? I haven’t seen you
for ten years.’ It appeared they were old
friends, who had drifted apart in the chang-
ing army life. He brought his newly found
friend over and introduced him. In the
course of conversation the latter said: ‘A
funny and rather disagreeable thing hap-
pened to me last night, and I am suifcring
from it still. I came over from New York
on the night train. While getting dressed
this morning I called the porter and said:
‘These aren’t my boots) ‘Dey is de enlist
ones lef, boss; all do udder gents is gone an’
dey mus’ be yourn.’ There was nothingto

_ In every case there are two factors, an
irritant and a susceptibility of the sys-
tern.‘ Among the irritants are micro-

in influenza, and certain poisons which
are developed from bad nutrition or im-
perfectassimilation within the body, and
which it is the ofiice of the liver to de-

hence the market is never overcrowded with
good waiters. Barring the summer hotel
season, waiters of a certain stamp are always
to be had, but this supply is never such as to
prevent an able man from getting a place.
t seems easy, I suppose, to the public for u
i'nan to take an order and bring in the vict-
uals, but there are many diificulties and re-
quirements incident to waiting that are com-
monly overlooked. There arefew places in
which more crochets and foibles are exhibited
than in an eating room, and a waiter has to
learn much of human nature and school him-
self accordingly to give satisfaction.
“The patron of a restaurant is the Great I
Am. He is the one to please, and if he kicks
against anybody, save the cook, it is the
waiter. A pleasant nddrem, a good memory,
promptuem and deftness, therefore, are prime
requisites for the waiter. Nobody wants an
ill natured waiter, yet a large ratio of the
guests are more or less inconsiderate in their
demands In case of dispute or disatisfaction
5 we always have to side with the guest, though
we may know that the waiter was in no wise
to blame.
“0n complaint of patrons of my establish-
ment I have actually had at times to change
waiters to other parts of the room, and even
lay them 03 for a few days-waiters, too,
when I knew to be among the best in my
employ. A little clumsinms, forgetfulness
or confusion in distributing the food to the
guests often bring slightly deserved rebukes,
and woe betide the waiter who incurs the ill
will of the employee behind the screen, for
the promptnass of his service is sadly im.
paired and mischief issure to follow. In a
certain sense the waiters are the butts of an
establishment. Many of the proprietors’
faults are saddled on their shoulders, and
manya malediction is hurled at the cooks
over their heads.”
"How do the merits of
waiters compare 7”
“I do not think that colored waiters equal
white waiters, though this may be a mere
fancy of mine. One thing is certain—colored
waiters are the more easily managed. They
are satisfied with lam, and will stand more.
As a. rule, a good white waiter can command,
any, 82 a week more than a. colored man of
the same ability and experience. Seven dol-
lars or $8 a week and board will satisfy acol-
ored waiter better than $10 will a white
man, and the colored man. will ask fewer
privileges. Negroes are les ambitious than
white men, more subservient, and hence
more easily imposed upon. They are satisfied
with poorer fare, and will grumble lws at
long hours and extra duty. That, I think,
and not the fact that they have any special
qualifications for the work, is the reason why
so may colored waiters are employed.”
A warren wou'l'n $20,000.
“Do waiters usually stay in the business?”
“Yes, till about middle life. You will
rarely find a waiter more than 40 years of
age. At about that age they drift into other
lines of occupation. Many become barten-
ders, others porters or janitors, and the like.
I have been surprised at the number of col-
ored waiters who find their way to the va-
riety stage. You know they area hailfel-
low well metclass and full of fun. Few of
them save anything; they rather are given
to improvidence. Still, I have known waiters
to work themselves up till they have become
hotel or restaurant proprietors. I know one
man, John Brennan, who served me as waiter
for years, and who is today worth $20,000.
But, as a rule, the waiter who lays by enough
for a full (IJ'GS waiting suit is doing Well.
“The coveted place most waiters aspire to
is a situation in a club house. There the av-
erage pay is about $40 a month. The drcm
suits are either furnished free or paid for by
the waiter by small deductions from his
monthly pay. The people the waiter servos
are nota miscellaneous public, but a. select
company, each member of which he soon
knows personally; and when individual pecu-
liarities, likes and dislikes, are known, he
runs less risk of giving ofi‘ense or dissatisfac-
tion. He is sure, further, of good fare and
good usage. The club house is the waiter's
goal.”
“American waiters have to content with
certain difficulties that European waiters
know nothing about,” said another well
known hotel proprietor. “Europeans are dif-
ferent from Americans. They have become
leisurely in habit. They have further learned
an art comparatively rare in America-the
art of eating. They are more given to wine
and liquor drinking at meals than we. Hence,
asone might naturally expect, the stamp of
the people has been impremed upon the wait-
ing required. In the Old World one of our
counter restaurants, with its too treading
and elbow jostling, would be a curiosity,
visited once as a freak, but shunned after.
ward. A European waiter, accustomed to
easygoing habits, would lose his head and
fall where one of our waiters would be per-
fectly calm and self posessed.
. “No class of people is more pushed in its
work than American waiters I’ll warrant
that fully 50 per cent. of all the people who
come into my establishment give a special in-
white and colored
with all the rush they expect the highest de-
gree not only of skill but of courtesy on the
part of those who serve them. Few Ameri-
cans visit Europe without complaining of the
execrably slow service. The fact is, they
carry over their American habits and expect
of European waiters what they are wont to
exact from waiters at home. Hence they are
disappointed and disgusted.
_ “Tipping has been condemned, but, I think,
altogether too harshly. It is a universal cus-
tom that has come to stay. I not only counte-
nance it, but I favor it. I think that about
10 per cent. of the value of a check is the
right thing to give the waiter, and if it be
given it will insure service that no ruling of
the proprietor can eifect.”——Chicsgo News.
TheiDrc-ss Sack.
‘ The dress sack, or Cowcs or Tuxeko coat,
or whatever it may be Called, is intended to
beworn only (and is only so worn by gentle-
men of taste) when a display of shirt sleeves
might be open to objection, when a smoking
jacket would be too suggestive of luxurious
dissipation, or when, though ladies in demi-
dress are present, the regular dress coat is
not imperatively necessary. A few who re-
bpect the eternal fitness of things have raised
the cryvin really fashionable circles: “Down
with the dress sack,” but they are unreason-
able. The drass sack is an elegant and useful
garment when it is not offensively obtruded
where it has no right to appear, and it fills a
long felt want. It is the connecting link be-
tween elegant neglige and elegant evening
dram and should be much more extensively
'used than it is at present. But it can be worn
for full dress no more appropriately than
boxing glovescan be worn at a wedding.—

her toes. Asthey had only to walk to tho ,
’I‘remont house, and as the lady had on
black stockings, her husband told her to do
the shoes up in her programme and walk
along as though nothing had happened. This
she did, and they started to move out slowly
with the crowd. The lady walked along
comfortably until near the door, when she
suddenly began to jump and cavort around
as though mad. Her stockinged feet had
struck an exceedingly warm register, and the
heat had curled her feet out of shape during
her brief sojourn on it. When she struck the
stone sidewalk outside a chill replaced the
feverish feeling, and when she reached the
Tremont she swore never to Wear tight shoes

He Had Tried It.
On Burrnrd inlet, in British Columbia,
dwells n log ' g camp hos, known In: and
wide by the name of Lev. He is a hunter of
some importance, and a rifle shot of more
than ordinary skill. One rainy day Lev took
his gun and sallied forth for a deer hunt, but
was overtaken by darkness while a long way
from camp, and forced to remain in the woods
all night. On searching his pockets he found
he was without matches The logging crew
blew horns, fired guns, etc, to guide him
home, but without avail. Morning returned,
and Lev made his way home just as the crew
were turning out for breakfast. Hungry, wet
and tired, beset down in front of the big
camp fire, rested his face on hi hands, his
hands on his knees, looked vacantly at the
blaze, and for about ten minutes appeared lost
in contemplation. He then spoke: “Boys,
did you ever hear of a person making a fire
by rubbing two sticks together?” “Oh, yes,”
replied several; “easy enough to do. Com~
mon thing," etc. Lev waited patiently till
they all got through, and then exclaimed:
“It may be easy enough to do, and, perhaps,
has been done, but I’ll be eaten alive if any-
body ever did it in one night. "—San Fran-
cisco Argonaut.
Embalmed by the Air.
There are on exhibition in the rooms of the
state mining bureau at San Francisco four
“desiccated human bodies,” that were found
by Signor S. Marghicr in a sealed cavern, at
an elevation of 4,000 feet, on the eastern side
of the Sierra Madro mountainsin Mem'co.
The bodies were found inasitting posture,
with the bands crossed on the breasts, the
heads inclined forward and facing the cast.
Two adults, male and femul, were side by
side, and by the side of the man was a boy,
and a girl by the side of the woman. The
bodies were apparently dried by the air, no
embalming process being used. They are not
like any known Indians of today, the hands
and feet being particularly small, and the
woman’s hair brown and silken. The wom-
an’s forehead is large, and the reasoning
powers were apparently well developed. In
the lobe of each ear is a piece of hollow reed.
The burial garments are of cotton, hide,
and the bark of willows. ’ In addi-
tion, the little girl is covered with the skin
of some animal—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Funerals in France.
The funerals of Paris, France, are in charge
of a company, whose monopoly is regulated
by law, is a vast enterprise, possessed of ex-
ceptional resources, an immense number of
horses and carriages, in numerous and well
disciplined personnel. Each year it takes
charge of about 50,000 funerals, about half of

tration of the Pompes Funebrse is situated in
the Que d’Aubervilliers. It is a big, heavy,
white stone building, built round a vast glass
roofed courtyard. Beneath the vast building
of the Pompes Funcbres are cellars dimly
lighted with gas jets and full of rows and
rows of cofilns of all sizes and qualities. This
cellar contains a stock of 15,000 cofins ready
for use.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
TWo Women of a Kind.
Sothe Countess de la. Ramee (Ouida) has
given up writing naughty novels and taken
to her prayers. That’s the way with woman
—asbe‘s always either saint or sinner—man
goes safe in the middle, mostly. Miss Brad-
don will be happy now that her bete uoir is
out of the field. If ever two women hated
each other, these rival romancists do, cor-
dially. Ouida calls Braddon "that person,”
and Braddon calls Ouida “that woman,” with
the accent on the wool When Maxwell (Ills
Braddon’s Irish husband) who wants to “take
a rise out of the misis,” as he puts it, he calls
with a rowlin" eye in her head.” Then the fur
flies—Truth. -
Love, Law and Husbands.
There is something inconsistent in the con-
nection of love, law and husbands. If a
woman’s husband is killed in a railroad accl-
dent she can only receive $5,000 for his life as
acompensation for loss of a companion, sup-
port and the other good things a husband is
supposed to represent. But if in a year or so
afterward some gay deceivcr trifies with the
dear creature's affections, gets her consent to
again enter the marriage state and then -jilts
her, $25,000 is demanded and sometimes
granted to heal her wounds. All this goes to
show that a sound expectancy is much more
valuable than a mangled and dead husband
