Union Pacific, and the stock had been

before the Supreme Court at Washing

took his seat at the New York end of it.
The first of the opinion began to come
over the wire, and it was mere history
of the case. "Oh, shut him off," cried
Mr.. Gould, "and ask him whether the
decision of the lower court is affirmed.
The answer was awaited with breathless
anxiety. Gould sank in his chair, as
pale as dead man, and those about him
were much concerned for fear that, If the
decision was adverse, he would be. killed
by it. The operator at length gave the
news that the decision of the lower court

having rescued the other parts her hand
plunged and brought up the head.

from it. "Did anybody ever ?" contin-

The Kittens Dinner.

Two little girls, the older not yet 5
years of age, had present of kitten
the other day.
1t was the first time in all their little
lives that cat of any age had ever been
III the house, and they were as delighted
as possible, and as full of wonder over
all its ways and doings as if it had been
q rare animal from some foreign land.
"What shall kitty have for her din
ner, mamma?" asked Lulu, climbing
down from her high chair when dinner
was over.
"Oh, you can fix her up something
on plate" replied mamma, hastily, as
she went into the sitting-room, for she
was very busy with some sewing, and
forgot that her little girls knew nothing
about feeding kittens.
Five minutes later Bridget poked her
head In at the door.
"Plaze, mem, do jist come out and
see thin childer."
Mamma dropped her sewing and fol-
lowed Bridget. On the floor behind the
kitchen stove sat Lulu and Ella, either
side OF large dinner-plate, by which
stood the kitten, rs if puzzled what to do
about it.
And what do you suppose those two
little ounces had put on the plate for
that kitten to eat?
Well, there was a large slice of wheat
bread and butter, a generous spoonful
of cider apple-sauce, pickle, and n
huge pile of plum-pudding fairly
drowned with sauce.
Mamma laughed, kitty ran under the
stove, and the little girls both cried be-
cause kitty would not eat the nice dinner
they had fixed for her.
But Bridget went and got her a saucer
of warm milk, and the children forgot
all their trouble in seeing her lap it up.

Feeling the Waiter.

Had pourboires been known in the
time of the Pharoahs they would GER
tainly have been reckoned among the
plaques of Egypt. It is nowadays i'm
possible to go anywhere, to take the
slightest refreshment, liquid or solid,
without being obliged to Tip the gar
con, who in reality does not profit one
whit by our generosity. In most cafes
and restaurants these pourboircs form
an additional source of revenue for the
proprietor, who not only does not pay his
walters, but even levies blackmai on the
gratuities they receive. This is not all,
however In a well-known cafe, not a
hundred miles from the Place de / Opera,
the owner, finding that his garcons made
too much by their =" tips" resolved on
sharing them with the latter. His plan
is as follows: Every morning the garcons
| severally purchase certain number OF
jetons at different prices, and with them
pay beforehand for the refreshments
ordered by the customers. The ingen-
ious patron IN question has hit, we hear,
on the idea of making his walters pay
him with the .jctons, or counters, mt the
rate of tifty-five centimes for every fifty
confines worth ordered by the Gus
toner. In this way, if the latter refrains
from giving more than the traditional
two sous, the garcon gets only one sou
for himself, and if no po,irboire is be-
slowed he has to give his master one sol
ont of his own pocket. If this plan il
generally adopted by restaurant keepers
it is very easy to understand why the
garcons occasionally make mistakes il
the customers change La Prcsse.

The Way They Do Up North.

A Detroit man who was hunting land
in Antrim County, came across a settler
who was doing some logging with yoke
of oxen. The two sat down together on
log and had talk, during which 1T
transpired that the settler had been q
deacon in village in the southern part
of the State, and had lately moved in
there. BY and by the Detroiter moved
on, but after travelling for half a mile had
to retrace his steps to secure closer par
ticulars regarding the lay of surveyed
highway While he was yet eighty rods
away he heard shouts, and tire nearer he
drew the more the shouts sounded like
cuss words. When he reached the clear
ing the settler was jumping up and down
and pounding the oxen, which refused to
pull on a log. Every word uttered by
the settler required three exclamation
points to punctuate it, and were ground
out like wheat from n hopper.
"My friend, didn't L understand you
to say" observed the Detroiter, that
you were a deacon of the church ?"
"Whoa, there, you - internal
