How He Lost The Wager.

Acting vice-presidents sometimes lose
bet as well as ordinary individuals,
and striking instance of this occurred
recently in the United States senate, ac-
cording to the special correspondence
OF the Atlanta Constitution. During the
debate on the japanese indemnity bill a
southern senator made bet of wine
with the genial David Davis that Sena-
tor Call, who had submitted some brief
remarks on the bill four times before,
would speak yet again. 1t is said that
Senator Davis revolved the thing over
in his mind in that careful manner
which has characterized his entire life
and concluded to accept the wager, but,
alas for his delusion regarding Mr.. Call's s
physical inability to resume his argu-
ment, for all at once he popped up and
spoke for over an hour upon the BILL
The southern senator with whom the
wager was made whistled for page,
who took missive to the president pro
tempore that he ''would take Hook
heimer in his.'' This would illustrate
the fact that man can bet with as
much satisfaction on mental phenomena
in the senate as on chickens in o cock
| inc main.

Why He Did Not Look Up.

Two fashionable young men were
walking down Austin Avenue, when
one of them called the attention of the
other to the myriads of swallows that
were making their nests in the caves of
a tall building.
: The person addressed hastily glanced
upward, and remarked
''It makes me sick to look up there?'
whats the matter? Got crick in
your neck? Have you vertigo?"
'.No; I've not got far to 90 to get
sick. If l look up there where those
swallows are, it makes my head swim
right OFF,
''What causes your head to swim
when you look up there where those
swallows are?'
|'Nothing, except the lawyer who is
trying to collect ten or fifteen bills am
owing, has his office up there. That's
the window of his Office right under
those swallow nests. l don't feel as il
l ever wanted to look up" - Texas

"6ents,''

Mr.. Richard Grant White wittily re-
marks that gents and ''pants" belong
together, for the former always wear the
latter. If gent is to be tolerated by
careful writer's, then let us accept
..pants'' for trousers, ''transpire'' for
sshappen' or occur" and, in brief,
adopt about all the variegated and Won
derful vocabulary of the average news
paper. The word gent" however,
does describe class. When you see a
greasy young fellow who seems cross
between rustic and a negro minstrel
off duty-a person with a cap set far
back on his closely-cropped head, tight
trousers that grow suddenly full at the
ankle, and shoes with turned-up, point
ed tips-where does he get those shoesP
when you see this vulgar little object,
you sec gent" You will encounter
him on street corners in shabby neigh
borhoods, gazing admiringly at the lith-
ograph of some famous clog-dancer or
cheap blonde in drinking-shop win
dow; you will meet him there, but
Heaven preserve you from ever meeting
him in decent literature.

Old Rntfles

The great bulk of old bottles are fur
nished by hotels and restaurants. When
the accumulation reaches ample pro-
portions they send to the "bOttle man,
and he calls for them and takes them
away. The second buyers, who purchase
of the dealers, send their orders to the
latter, who fill them in the same way as
a mercantile house does. On one occa-
sion large hotel sold nine thousand
bottles to dealer. Bottles are shipped
in hogsheads and barrels. When put IN
hogsheads they are packed in straw, but
when put in barrels no packing is used
to protect them. The barrels are not
headed up, as they are easy to handle.
Hogsheads are so bulky that they can
not be carried, but must be thrown
upon their sides and rolled about, hence
the use of straw. Junk-dealers buy
bottles, but this part of business amounts
to little. They obtain their meagre sup
plies mainly from small boys. If rag
gcd gamin finds Il bottle in the street he
will post off with it to the nearest junk
shop and probably receive 4 penny for
his prize. A penny is the standard
price for a bottle with junk dealers.
The Italians, who in New York are as
great scavengers as the Chinese are in
San Francisco, pick the streets clean,
and know the worth of bottles when they
discover them. Monday is italian day
at the bottle stores. On that day they
swarm to the places with their collec-
tions for the previous week and dispense
of them. Not few Italians display
business enterprise and tact. A gooc
many of them go about among the
lower resort buying bottles which they
sell over again. One Italian began by
collecting with Il sack which he carried
on his back. Finally, he secured a hand
cart; later, another, which he hired ;
man to push, and so he continued, unit
| now he has Il dozen or more picking VI
bottles in all parts of the city. Not Ions
ago he purchased ahouse and paid nine
teen thousand dollars in cash for it
When he landed on these shores he Wa

though none perhaps rs striking as this

The Paldetta.
The Fascinating Garment Worn BY Maltese
Beauties

The Fascinating Garment Worn BY Maltese
Beauties.
First place to the DANES On first
sight OF the women of Malta, gliding
about the streets in black, you think
they have thrown their skirts over their
heads. But they have not. The faldetta
is a combination Of hood and cape
Take black silk apron, gather it close
at the top with several runnings and
put whalebone through one side at
the edge, so as to form hood. This
sort of hood is then thrown over the
head, the gathers coming at one side,
drawn SO closely that it makes curve,
and the apron falling obliquely across
the back. 1t can be drawn across the
face so as to conceal everything except
the eyes. And the large eyes of soft
brown are the last things you or the
women wish to conceal The custom is
remnant of the Saracenic days, and is
one of the many signs of Moorish de-
scent. -
This is very clumsy description of a
most fascinating garment. 1t gives a
piquant interest even to an ugly woman
and Providence for our sins still per-
mits ugly women, but it adds a charm
to pretty woman that is quite bewilder-
ing Mind, this is not my opinion that
l venture to give, but that of European
ladies whom l have consulted. Per-
haps I might not have noticed them
otherwise.
All the Maltese ladies. as well as the
common people, wear the faldette to
church, though on other occasions
European hats are gaining ground with
the higher classes. l am speaking at
length of this costume, because groups
of these figures in the street or throng-
ing the churches are the feature of the
town. The faldetta is always worn
with black skirt, but some bright color
is often worn about the neck, or for the
bodice, together with heavy gold neck
laces, and the glimpse of this half-hid-
den warmth of the color that the faldetta
permits in contrast with the prevailing
black, is very effective. 1t is perhaps
the most coquettish devotional garment
everinvented by the contradictory nature
of the sex. have given much reflec-
ton (while we arc waiting here for a
steamer to Gibraltar) to the reason OF
its peculiar charm, and think it lies in
this, that it gives to its wearer the ap-
pearance of demure nun and dan
gerous adventures. How much the
large, soft brown eyes and the clear,
creamy Moorish complexion have to do
with it is a scientific question. When
one of the knights of Malta saw one OF
these ladies of oriental suggestion glide
out of the church from her devotion,
and permit the faldetta, as she passed
him at the church door, to disclose one
flash of her entreating ewes, if he did
not follow her at least with his own
eyes, he was not the gallant combina-
ton of priest and soldier that 1 have
supposed him to be. But | am getting
beyond my depth. What wish to say
is that if the sex wished to look botf
devout and fascinating, the faldetta i:
the best invention of their genius. an
told, however, that it is not q comfort
able garment in q warm climate, an(
the wearing it tends to produce bald
ness. And when we get to bale
woman it is time to change the subject

A Steam P1nw at Work.

A Fargo Cd. T.) letter to the Boston
Journal says: CATER all that has been
done with reference to bringing out
steam plow in this country, it remains
for an ingenious Englishman to invent
and place in successful working steam
plow. Mr. J. G. Allen is accomplishing
some excellent work on the Aurora
farm, belonging to Captain Thomas W.;
Hunt, of Blanchard, d. T. 1t is at
tracting a great deal of attention, and
farmers are coming long distances tos see
the plows at work. Two enormous
traction engines are placed about 800 to
500 wards apart. Beneath each engine
and belted to the boiler is steel drum
about five feet in diameter. To this
drum is attached steel cable about
three-quarters of an inch in diameter,
500 yards long, and capable of sustain
ing a weight of thirty tons, which drags
the plow to and fro across the field.
The plow is framework of iron resting
upon two large wheels; on each side Of
this frame are firmly fixed six plowS
with coulters that cut six burrows six
teen inches wide each time the machine
crosses the field. On the arrival OF the
plow at the end of the furrow the gauge
changes position, and the plows that
have been in the air are lowered and
ready to start back. One man is suf.
ficient to guide the plow, and, seated
over the body of the machine, directs
one of the two large wheels in the fur
row last turned by means OF a hand
wheel Each engine is of about forty
horsepower, and weighs about sixteen
tons. When the plow reaches one side
of the field the engine on that side
moves ahead eight feet, the operation
taking three and one-half minutes only,
and the plow is started back tothe other
side of the field The plow will break
from twenty-five to thirty-five acres per
day, according to the soil, location, and
lay of the land, etc. 1t also does har-

A Chean Chinese Girl,

Some Ayears ago there dwelt in the
camp of Virginia City, Montana, son
of the Flowcry Kingdom, whose business
name was All Sam. All Sam gathered
q ooodly store of the root of evil, and as
he waxed rich love found little corner
in his soul So All Sam began to look
about him, and, few weeks ago,
among the maidens of his native land
sight, and he paid for her the big price
Of 5000. But having obtained posses
sion of the fair young lady, Ah Sam be-
came cruel, and abused her, giving no
heed to her tears and cries. Then came
another man of the land of flowers, All
Hoy by name, who cast a covetous eye
upon the high-priced Chow Girl, and,
gobbling her up, he fled with her to
Silver City. A charge of grand larceny
was preferred against All Hoy, and
Deputy Sheriff Al Davis was sent to
camp on his trail. All Hoy was a true
knight, however, and was equal to the
emergency. He turned over to the Of
ficer what was purported to be the stolen
chattei, and the officer returned, mar
Yelling that he had found the thing SC
easy In due time he arrived at Vir-
ginia City, and going into the presence
of All Sam produced the goods. Then
was the air blue with Mongolian profan.
ity, for All Sam saw that the officer had
been taken in. All Hoy had palmed of
on him another woman, cheap female
that would not bring $50 in any town
on the Pacific coast. Then All Sam
went to headquarters, even to Sheriff
Platur himself, and pouring into his
hands many shekels, sent him forth tc
bring back the valuable Chow Cir
When the sheriff came into the presence
OF the eloping pair, All Hoy smiled upor
him in the blandest manner, and waved
before his eyes marriage certificate
AAh Hoy and Chow Cir were now one
tlesh-two souls with but a single
thought, two hearts that beat as one
The sheriff saw that he was foiled, and
signing, turned sadly away to report tt

Mrs. Garfeld's Fortune.

A resident of Cleveland says: 'Mrs.
Garfield has 100000 in government
bonds, the result of the subscription.
Then her husbands life was insured for
$4,000, which she promptly received.
She also was paid the salary of the
President for tho unoccupied first year,
amounting to about $5O,OO0. That
makes $500, 900, does it notP Very well;
Then add $4,000, the total value OF
Gartieids estate. That was the total
amount, all that he could accumulate
in a life of fifty years. l suppose that
the income from this total of more than
$4OO, 1000 will be perhaps $4,000 ayear.
So she is comfortable and can raise her
children we'll; but the loss of Garfield
was a blow that will leave scar as long
as she lives.'
