Vamaer6sss as a saloon Keeper.

A New York letter writer gives some
curious statistics concerning the saloons of
that city, of which there are now 10000
licensed ones. He says: "If VIM. b. Van
derbilt was asked, DO you own the largest
bar in American would he tell the quick
and direct truth? At least $4,000 of his in
come every year is from that source. The
business has changed greatly within ten
years. The old fashioned bar, screened off
from the rear end of grocery, is thing
of the past. The saloon of the present is
almost invariably separate concern. Es-
thetic decoration has caught the eye of
the saloon keepers. and the wooden blinds
in the windows have in numerous in
stances been replaced by fine curtains, in
front of which are often seen excellent
pieces Of chinaware and statuary. There
was time when three or four bar rooms
in this city were unrivaled in the beauty
of their fittings, but the number within
two or three years has increased to at
least a hundred. Even the gorgeous con-
Germ owned last year by Ned Stokes, the
slayer of Jim Fisk, has already been sur
passed. The brewers own thousands of
beer saloons, either by direct proprietor
ship or by mortgage covering the entire
worth of the fixtures and lease.'

having population of 1,942, 900, or about
40 per cent. of the London district. there
were in May, 1881, 1000 subscribers, SO
that if London were supplied at the same
rate as New York was then it would have
now about 10000 instruments instead of
this beggarly 1,561.
Berlin, which now has a population al
most az large as New York city. has 951
| instruments, which is a considerable ad-
vance over London, and Paris is ahead of
Berlin, there being 2,442 telephones in op-
Grafton there in district estimated to CON
tain 100000. In Italy it appears 10 be
quite popular, there being 475 subscribers
in Rome, which has population of only
$4,000; 430 in Turin, population 231, 900;
187 IN Florence, population $4,000; 1856
in Bologna, population $4,000: lis in vi
emma, population 131 200; and 80 in Ma
pies, population ASS, 900, the latter only be-
| ing twice as well supplied difference in
population being considered-as London,
while Rome is fully as well supplied as
New York.
In the Russian empire the three places
where the telephone has been introduced
are ST. Petersburg, Moscow and Odessa.
| The former has 134 out of the 238 instru-
ments, the other two having sixty-six and
twenty-seven respectively. Vienna, Pesth
| and Trieste are the three Austrian cities
into which it has made its way. Vienna
has but 600 subscribers, although the dis
trict has a population falling but about
| 100000 short of that of New York city.
In Belgium some of the smaller cities are
remarkably well supplied with instru-
| ments, Charleroi, which has but 10000 in
habitants, having 230 of them, which is
almost as many as Leadville had when it
was of the same size.
The lines are operated by private COM
panies everywhere excepting in Germany
and Switzerland, in both of which states
the government has reserved to itself the
exclusive privilege of constructing and
working them. In Belgium the govern
nent reserves the right to take possession
of them at any time on payment of fair
price. In Great Britain the concession is
for thirty-one years, in Austria for ten
years, and in Hungary for twenty years.
In Russia each line receives special con-
cession; in Italy the concessions run for
thirty years subject to renewal, but the
government regulates the rates under GER
tain restrictions; in Denmark the conces-
sion is Tor twelve years; while IN Sweden
all that is necessary is to make an AMIGA
bic arrangement with the telegraph PEG
pie.
The liberality, or the contrary, displayed
by the different governments in granting
permission to construct the lines is doubt
less one of the principal reasons for the
abundance or the paucity of telephone IN
struments; but other causes, such as con-
centration Of population, which enables
merchants to go from one house to another
without any loss of time, and, above all,
national enterprise have their influence.

TELEPHONES.
Some Interesting Statistics Regarding
Them.
INeH York Graphic. 1

New York Graphic
According to pamphlet just issued by
the International Telephone company, of
Paris, there are 152 cities in the world
furnished with that latest adjunct of mod
ern civilization, the telephone. Of these
ninety two are located in the United States,
forty in Great Britain, twelve in Italy,
ten in Germany, eight in France, six in
Belgium, three each in Austro- Hungary,
Russia, Switzerland, and British India, two
each in the Netherlands, and one each in
Denmark, Sweden, and Mexico.
This is a pretty good showing consider
ing the very short time that the telephone
has been in practical use. The total num-
Der of subscribers to the telephone ex-
changes in these 152 cities are $500, of
whom the United States have 37,199 or
scattered over the globe as follows: Great
Britain, 1916; France, 3,64o; Italy, 1902;
Germany, 1922; Belgium, 2,156; Austro-
Hungary, go; Sweden, 672; Switzerland,
621; Denmark, 1913; Mexico, 300; Russia,
23S; British India, 213; Egypt, 1888; and
the Netherlands, 151. The statistics for
the United States are rather behind date,
having been gathered chiefly during last
year, but those for the countries outside
the United States are much more recent
and therefore much more reliable.
/. The contrasts presented between the ex-
tent to which the telephone is used here
and elsewhere would, therefore, be even
more violent were the present figures of
our own exchanges to be used instead of
those OF year ago. Those of London
represent the degree to which the tele-
phone was employed on the 9th of March
last. There were then 1,561 subscribers in
district having population of 4, 10000.

Telephone company, which includes New
York city, Brooklyn and Hoboken, and

Renew,ng Youth and beauty.

1t was Madame Roland who said
Few women know the Importance and
value of their beauty until they have
lost it. IF J had done all that [ now,
too late, perceive I might have done
with my charms, there is nothing that
could not have accomplished. These
preparations, ono and all, are sure and
simple receipts for the improvement Of
the skin and complexion, and not adyen-
titious cosmetics. An italian wash for
the skin, which imparts rare brilliancy
to the complexion, is made as follows :
Pumpkin seeds, gourd seeds, cucumber
seeds, melon seeds, in equal parts,
pounded together and softened with pure
cream, afterward thinned to paste
with milk perfume with three drops
each of oil of lemon and oil of rose.
Anoint the face, bust, arms and neck
with this upon retiring, and wash off in
the morning with warm water.
For pallid skin take a lukewarm bath
every morning, followed. by thorough
friction with rough towel and exercise
in the open air. Avoid all alkali and
astringent soaps.
For a shiny, glazed skin, use this
preparation: Camphor water, one quart;
giycerine (pure), one ounce powdered
borax, one-half ounce. Battle the face
with this mixture night and morning,
letting it dry and remain for several
moments before washing it off with rain
OF filtered water.
Benzoin, the fragrant gum from SUI
matra, Is an article of the toilet no lady
will be without if she once tests its fra
grant, medicinal and preservative prop
critics. It is healing and very beautify-
ing to the complexion. AS cosmetic
lola Montez considered it invaluable,
the following being one of her favorite
preparations Tincture of benzoin, 2
ounces; and pure alcohol, 1pint. This,
applied with soft sponge to the face,
restores it to its fullest whiteness, and
also brings out the roseate tints.
Here is the Aspasjan remedy for
wrinkles Sublimate, four grains; n.y.
drochlorate ammonia, four grains milk
of almonds "a little thick, half pint.
Mix carefully In glass vessel and ap-
ply frequently. Another lotion is given
also: Turpentine, two scruples ben

three ounces. Battle the face and leave
on to dry. But, if the crow feet will
not be scared, they must be concealed,
and the following pomade will effectu-
ally hide them: Take of white wax one
ounce and soften it by gentle heat until
it mixes well with juice of lily buds, two
ounces =; honey, two drachms, and altar
of roses, two drops. Apply twice day.
Wrinkles may be delayed by tepid baths
in which bran has been stirred, followed
by thorough friction until the skin
CLOVIS wildly.
A remedy for wrinkles in use by Span
ish women, and which, certainly imparts
freshness to the skin, is to boil the
whites Of four eggs in rose water, and
add alum, one-half ounce sweet al
mond oil, one-half ounce. Beat the
whole into paste.-,T. Louis Specta-

Ho,c Prohibition Worked u. Io,ca.

A correspondent describes how the for
mer Maine law worked in Iowa.
But there was no law against giving the
stuff away; and it was given away ad lib
itum. In those days many a little comedy
was hourly enacted in the country stores
Enter customer when the following eel
loquy would ensue:
Customer much coffee for a dol
lar?
Merchan,-Eiye pounds.
C.-Giye me five pounds.
A package handed him.
Make something's
C.-Don't care if do.
M.-What shall it be?
C.-Whisky cocktail.
The beverage is handed to him and he
imbibes.
C.-Come to think of it, I don't want
that coffee to-day. What's the difference
what profit on that five poundss
M.-Two cents pound, sir, is my profit
on that coffee; or ten cents for the five
pounds.
C.-Here's your ten cents. Good-day.
So the customer paid the ten cents for
felt on the coffee transaction, which was
peII0ctly ldlr anu equ dre, dnu was Hoiu 81
in law, for the dram was pure gratuity on
the part of the country merchant, who
could not be prosecuted for selling the
whisky; and so this farce was played as
long as the law lasted. You could not buy
cigar, a yard of muslin, or pound of
nails, without being invited to stake some
thing" and yet the sign, ''no liquor sold
here" was prominently displayed, No, it
was not sold, but given away lover the
Left. The consequences was that every
body got drunk. Even the most respect
able citizen took something for the fun of
the thing, and SO the lookup was full every
night.

BECOMES A LAWYER.
Maj. Stewart, of Springfield, now made
him proposition to become his law part
ner, and the people then felt grateful to
| Lincoln for having assisted to give them
the state capital; so he moved to Spring
field on the 10Th OF April, 1887. It
was almost the anniversary of his death,
| twenty-four years later.He went to Spring
field with apprehension and anxiety, hav-
ing nothing, and freshly admitted to the
bar. He left New Salem with regret, which
was full of his friends. At Springfield he
boarded with William Butler. The Spring
field people in 1888 sent him to the legis-
lature, and there he was considered the
leading Wing III the house. He ran for
speaker, and was defeated by one vote. In
fke debates he was one of the most active
men. One of his speeches at this period
described his opponent as like man who
fr.} al a squirrel, and, having missed him
e-ea lines, started to investigate the

at a louise on his eyebrow. The members
laughed his opponent out of hearing.
COMES NOTE.
Lincoln now began to ride the judicial
ClrCu1CS. he was WQdL was CdlISQ case
lawyer-not deeply grounded in the law,
but with abundant justice and common
sense, always weak on a weak side, and
hence he was slow to take a case where
there was no right and reason. He was a
great advocate, however, astonishing be-
fore jury, his lucidi.y, fairness, and skill
making the jury delighted to hear him.
He often showed the melancholy constitu-
ton which weighed him down in subse-
quent years. He got the name of "the
Sangamon Chief'' in the legislature, and
was sent there again in 1910; and
that year Springfield received the
legislature, the archives and the
offices. He was again defeated for speak
er, and never again ran for the legislature.
Gen. James Shields challenged him on &C.

Iished in springfield paper whom Lin

broadswords, and began to take exercise
in Springfield, and they met on Bloody is

there. In 1910 he left Mr.. Stewart and

"What has become of j. Howard Welles,
who tried to blackmail Jay Gould?"
Il don't know. He got out on $4,000
bail, and what has become of him since
do not know. Gone to Europe, prob
ably."
"From what you say should infer that
a considerable part of the service of your
Wall street detective bureau is the pro-
lection of Wall street men from black
mailers?"
s'It is a not unimportant part of our
business, but only part. Our Office in
the stock exchange building is connected
by telephone with every bank and banking
house and prominent brokers' Office in the
lower part of the city. We have eight or
ten excellent detectives on duty down there
during the day, part of them on the street
and some in the Office, awaiting summons
from any direction in which their services
may be desired. In from one to five
minutes we can have man in any. part
of the district where suspicious-looking
person has put in appearance, or ythiEg
has occurred that seems to render the pres
ence of an officer desirable. And we don't
allow any known thief to show his nose in
the vicinity of Wall street during business
hours. If one appears we don't ask him
what he has come for, or wait for him to
do something, but simply clutch him at
once as suspicious person and send him
at once TO headquarters to be locked up. Of
course, new thieves are constantly spring
ing up and coming here from other parts
of the country, and they may get down
there for a few days before we know
them, but it does not take long to find
them out. Thieves are gregarious. When
one comes here from another city or de-
velops out of some other walk in life, he
naturally drifts to association with thieves,
frequents, their haunts, and herds with
them. So, when we see new face in
esro pany with known thief we view it at
onse with suspicion, and do not rest until
we know all about the owner of it. Then
it will be good for him to stay away from
Wall street in business hours. Before our
Wall street bureau was established one or
two tin boxes, with their contents of money
and bonds, would be stolen by the thieves
in every month or six weeks, or they would
capture bundles of bank notes from mes
sengers or incautious depositors, or even
off cashiers desks. But since then
there has not been so much as the value of
dime lost in those ways down there. Even
