TYPICAL HOTEL BEATS.

Nowadays" said clerk at one of our
think that q hotel is common public prop
erty. People do not realize that hotel,
though in great measure public concern,
Is, after all, owned by private individuals,
md Is intended for the exclusive use of the
quests of the house. or the hundreds OF
people who come in here daily, not more
han one-half or one quarter are nairens "a
the astai.i;-a---sent. " have lifted up nice
reading, writing and smoking rooms; and
for whom have We done all this? Why, for
our guests, OF course. We couldn't be ex-
pected to furnish a resting or loafing place
for every Tom, Dick or Harry in the city.
People do not seem TO realize this, how
ever. There is one young fellow there "
(pointing) "who comes in here regularly
every morning at abolt 0 o'clock. He takes
the best seat in our reading-room, lights
his cigar, pulls out his paper, and remains
in his seat until nearly noon, acting during
.le whole time rs if he owned the entire
place. At about IL O'clock he walks out
never knew him to spend cent in the
hotel. He is only onn Of dozens who make
q practice of doing this. There Is an
other class of people who come in here
regularly and ask for our writing paper.
There are dozens and dozens of people who,
l imagine, have not spent nickel for note
paper for months. They make their daily
requests for our letter-heads and envelopes,
and then calmly seat themselves In our writ
ing-room and finish their correspondence
for the day. They never patronize any de-
partment of the hotel they seem to think
that IL is our duty to furnish the public
with everything we keep for the use Of our
guests. The idea is tsss growing among
certain class of people that hotel is moth
ing but free resort, and it is high time
that this was squelched. / call them the

BashfuI Men and Rich Girls.

II would seem that there are many nice
girls signing for husbands who can not get
them, and for the reason that they are rich.
This we learn from paragrapher in the Oin-
etnaaG Commercial. And this ia how he giyeG
the anecdote: No doubt it takes pluck
for man of modest fortune to ask rich
woman to marry him, and no doubt rich
women often 60 unmarried for want of the
asking. The writer once asked one of Bos-
toms loveliest women, something past her
first youth, rich, of excellent family, and
an altogether charming person Miss
L., why have you never married? p Il
am temped to tell you the truth she re-
piled, with vivid blush, nobody has ever
asked me. I am rich and well born, and
my own mistress. A man could offer me
very little that I have not, except his love,
and I fancy most men don't appreciate that
trifle at its full value. At least they don't
know-how should they 2--how much q
true mans love Is to lone woman"

nLtrErLc KnrC1TLON.

CORRESPONDENT of THE TRIBUNE has COM
mented forcbly Oh the harm done by excessive
candy eating. The evil is no doubt Il real one,
but it is difficult to apply any remedy, since
people are always most indifferent to the
abuses and follies which have grown h1bitual,
and have become part of their daily lives. 1t is
2 tluisrn to say that habits Of imprudcnt eating
produce quite as much mischief as habits Of i'm
prudent drinking. Iomilics on dictctics are COM
mon nowadays, and nobody need lack lntclli-
gent guidance in the matter. But the masses
pay 10 attention to advice OF the KIND. and the
almost animal blindness which chdactcrlzes the
average parental affection directs that Scntl-
ment into forms of expression which "oIk last
inc harm TO the recipients. Education in eating
j, really as necessary as any other kind, and the
lack of knowcdgn inrespcct 20 fitness in food may
neutralizc the care Of years in cultiYa'nS the
intellect. Children can, when young be easily
taught not to crave after unwhoieaome food,
and simple and hcalthlul tastes implanted at an
early aye will stand the pOSscsSOr IN good stead
during a long life and bear him harmless
through the most seductive gaStrOnOmlc temp
tatiOns.
On the other hand, it is as easy to spoil the
digestion of children by carly Indulgence in
candy. pastry. and all sorts of unwholcsome
food and when the stomach is once dcrangcd,
and the bad eating habits established, the evil
will remain, in all probability will develop into
chronic dyspepsia, and then farewell the tran
0uil mind and all that constitutes happiness.
The other day merchant OF TINS city killed
himself because he could not endure the tor
mcnt chronic dyspepsia entallcd upon him. All
around rs are crowds of men and women whose
lives are darkeued by this too familiar and
pcculiarly American disease. Dyspepsia often
makes dnInkards; it destroys the mental bal
ouce. il nroduccs "cranksn and criminals il
leads to divorces and suicides and murders !;
and vet the people treat the question of dictctcs
~ too trivial to bestOw any serious thought
upon.
Certainly it is time that this indifference,
which savors of dulness rather than sagacity
sbould be- shaken of, and that IA Nation which
wishes to think itself representative of the
highest civilization should accept philosophy
of daily life which heather peoples thousands
of years ago were too wise TO contemn and

have in this country produced special litera-

tricities and cludites Of unsettled intelligences.
We call the writer's of such stun cranks y; they
are really for the most part victims of bad feed
