NOblemen as Walters.

foreign suthoress who went to Del
monico's uptown restaurant TO dine
found that he waiter who came forward
TO wait on her was her brother. The
item was shown to the manager at Del
monicos, and he was asked il there was
any truth in it. He shook his head and
smiled.
Every now and then" he said,
"some story of the kind is set afloa..
Generally, however, it is about waiter
who is a nobleman."
"Is il not fact that occasionally
you have a no.lcman among your"
"It is not at ell unlikely. There are
plenty OF noblemen abroad who are very
poor, and are sometimes hard put TO it
for good meal. In such cases they
often drop their titles. II they come
to this country why should they not
work at waiting as well as any other
business2 Then there are fast young
noblemen who run through their means
and emigrate. They have not been
brought up to any business they are
unacquainted with the ways of Amer :
can life, but they know about table
service, and Job as waiter is the thing
they are best qualified for. Noblemen
are not scarce in the old world. In
Germany the title goes to all of tho
sons of nobleman. have no doubt
there are noblemen jerking beer in the
Bowery. We have had noblemen oc-
casionally among our corps of walters.
There is nothing surprising in IL. We
see men merchants, brokers, etc, who
make great deal Of money. They live
fast, spend freely and make big figure

Punishment by the Canguc In China.

This cangue is the main prop of the
Mongolian order-the stocks, pillory
and penitential cell of Kathay. 1t is
merely cage OF crossbars, which are
sometimes of iron, sometimes of heavy
timber. The prisoners body is inclosed
in this cage, which reaches from his
knees 10 his neck; his head and limbs
are alone free, his hands being strapped
to bar. Now it is manifest that a
criminal thus accoutered must be prom
and support of his own portable Jail.
4 captive OF Atlas, he carries about his
own dungeon, and he cannot lie down
to rest, but must pass whole days and
nights on his feet, the poles attached to
the cangue preventing him from lying
down, while to the framework is fixed
placard inscribed with the wretch's
name, offense and sentence. A cangue
may weigh 100 pounds, or only twenty,

PEARLS OF THOUGHT,

They talk most who have the least to
say.
No one loves to tell of scandal except
to him who loves to hear it.
Next to love, sympathy is the divinest
passion of the human heart.
A man OF integrity will never listen
to any reason against conscience.
Sometimes noble failure serves the
world as faithfully as q distinguished
success.
So long rs we stand boggling at i'm .
aginary evils let us never blame horse
for starting at shadow.
A man must reap as he sows. In a
broken natural law there is, as Shakes
peare suggests, "no more mercy than
there is milk in a male tiger"
We do not like our friends the worse
because they sometimes give us an OPP
portunity to rail at them heartily. Their
faults reconcile us to their virtues.
You have probably observed that the
most difficult persons to get along
with are those who are always perfectly
sure that they are in the right and
equally sure that you arc in the wrong
particularly, as is often the case when
you know you are in the right.
Let no one suppose that by acting
good part through life he will escape
scandal. There will be those even who
will hate them for the very qualities
that ought to procure esteem. There
are folks in the world who are not
willing that others should bo better
than themselves.
What greater thing is there for two
human souls than to feel that they are
Joined in life-to strengthen each other
in all labor, to rest on each other in all
sorrow, to minister TO each other in all
pain, to be one with each other in silent.
unspeakable memories at tho last part
ing.
When You have learned how 10 live
we'll, you will know how to die we'll.
BE not sorry If men do not know you,
but be sorry il you are ignorant of men.
Not to correct our faults is 10 commit
new ones.

The average of human life is about

It rains three times "a often in Ire

The amount of common salt in the

the bulk of the Alps.
A thermometer, plunged into the

In ordinary breathing n mans chest
