Learning BY Experience.

A few DAVIS since an elderly gentle
man, who had got out OF business ana
considered that he was too advanced IN
age to do hard work, concluded 10 start
a grocery store. He secured STOCK OF
goods, and yesterday morning, while
preparing for opening the establish
ment. concluded that he would tap the
kegs of beer left on the previous day.
A friend who was present, seeing MN
approach one of the kegs with an anger,
inquired what he was going to do, ana
learned that he intended to tap the
beer" The questioner suggested that
the proper way vas to place the lancet
in position and drive in the cork when
the revenue stamp covered but the Old
gentleman concluded that his way was
the best, and forthwith forced hole
through the top of the key. OF course
the beer assembled like fountain as he
withdrew the anger, and he endeavored
to suppress it by putting his hand over
the hole, and, failing in this, by insert
ing lis finger as last resort he sat
down upon it, calling loudly for some
one to hand him faucet, but mean
while the beer had forced Its way
through his pants, climbed upward, and
was oozing out everywhere-emerging
from his waistband, and even at his
shirt collar, and the bystanders were
laughing so hard that they were unable
to do anything to relieve him, even II
they had dared to venture within the
area of beer spray. 1t was not until
every drop had left the keg that the old
gentleman felt warranted in getting up.

REkLAM BROTHERS.

Something / saw exhibited in the

duced me TO enter the shop of Messrs.
Reklam Brothers, 1t was certainly

member rightly, delicate little taxa

Their house was situated in a dull
street in the Soho district. Fashion
and gentility had, no doubt, in times
past made their home there they had
long since vanished, however, leaving
III their stead a sort of dingy respecta-
bility, and aa air of trade of rather a
torpid character. Shops and private
houses were much intermingled, but
there we're few evidences of business
being very actively carried on. The
street could not boast much business
traffic, for, although thoroughfare, it
led TO nowhere in particular, and offered
small advantages as a shortcut. 1t was
bounded on the north by Oxford street,
and on the south by an intricate tangle
of courts and alleys. The houses were
of a substantial, spacious, old-fashioned
class, with rather dimly lit rooms.
The contents of the shop almost defy
enumeration. They were such, how
ever, as are usually to be found in the
possession Of traders in curiosties, had
been collected from all parts of the
globe, and pertained to every period,

The Secrets OF the Bowl.

A former Brooklyn saloon-keeper,
who has been converted by the Quaker

to keep secret. He says bourbon rye

commonly called fusel oil whisky, made
to-day and drank three days after. 1t

salt, essence of oil of Scotch or Irish
whisky, fusel oil, syrup, bluestone, st.

Scotch whisky for flavor. 1t costs S1.50,
and retails for So gallon.
What sells for the best old Holland
gin is made from French spirits, water,
oil of juniper, syrup, white wine vine
gar, bluestone, New England rum, peach
pipes, with some imported gin for
flavor.
Old Tom gin is made from the same
ingredient, but double syrup is added
to make it sweeter. 1t costs S1.25 a
gallon, and retails for So. 1t is also
bottled as n medicine, and sold for the
kidney disease.
Jamaica and st. Croix rum is made
of double refined highwines, French
coloring, oil of rum, fusel oil, vinegar,
bluestone, burnt sugar, molasses syrup,
with some Jamaica, Cuba, or st. Croix

Stock ale or porter is diluted with oil

make it keep. New ale is diluted with
oil of vitriol and damaged molasses.
Lager beer contains little malt, plenty
of water, some inferior hops, rosin, tar,
saleratus, soda, with four different

BISMARCK. following bulletin on
Prince Bsmarck's health was issued at
Kissengen on July %: "Of the two
wounds, the one nearest to the exterior
bone of the forearm is already complete
ly. and the other, complicated by being
scorched, is almost entirely closed.
Still, in consequence OF the blow re-
ceived upon the under forearm, this
part is still painful, and altogether the
arm is weak and numb. Moreover, the
Prince can not lower his arm without a
painful sensation. The general state of
health is satisfactory, and the Prince
now drinks the waters daily"

Two Kinds.

There are two kinds of girls one is
the kind that appears best abroad, the
girls that are good for parties, rides,
visits, balls, etc., and whose chief de-
light is in all such things. The other is
the kind which appears best at home,
the girls that are useful and cheerful IN
the dining-room, the sick room, and all
the precincts of home. They differ
widely in character. One is frequently
a torment at home the other is bless
ing. One is a moth, consuming every
thing about her; the other is a sun
beam, inspiring life and gladness all
along the pathway. Now it does not
necessarily follow that there shall be
two classes of girls. The right moditi-
cation would modify them both little
and unite their characters in one.
