and, who would give $40 if he could
see with it, is no purer than the eye.
And when the eyes are red rs to droop-
ing lids, and prolific in Unconditional

a-blanket expression, it is q sign that
they see through q glass lightly about
once every fifteen minutes, and that
they keep open as long as the man

the mouth wide open, is a sign that
life's short dream is snore. When a

over the top of his nose it is sign that
he has to have his spectacles cut bias.

Value of q Biz Hosel's Refuse.

II have just let the contract for the
swill of my house for next season at
$780, said the manager of large
summer hotel to Jourao' reporter this
morning. ''Tne price is very low, and
there seems to be no reason why the
contractor should not make $1,000
clear out of the DEAL"
''How can he treble his money!"
Because the swill itself is worth at
least 1000, and then the dishes he
picks out, besides the marked ones, are
good for $500 more. Why, do you
know that at one of the Coney Island
hotels, where l was formerly employ
ed, a man was hired for the express
purpose of sorting over the swill, and
picking out the dishes!'
''How do SO many dishes get into the
swill!''
''You should get into the kitchen of
q large hotel when rush comes. Ev-
erything goes-spoons, forks, knives
and dishes. Generally the silverware
is marked. and is returned by the con-
tractor. The walters are very indiff
erent. Why, do you know 1 once saw
a waiter with a salver full of goblets,
which cost $3.50 dozen, actually slide
them into the broken glass barrel to
save him the trouble of setting them on
a shelf. The destruction in watering
place kitchen during rush is terrible"

me in my trips with team from town

used to shut him up to prevent his GO

But one morning no Cass was to be
found anywhere on the premises, and
started on my trip over the hills. When
away about two miles noticed some
thing unusual under my buggy seat,

and told him to come out and take a
good whipping. He left the carriage
at once, and throughout the entire day
kept himself at q good distance from

They Knew ths Cards.

The Louisville Courier-.1ournal tells
the following story. which is good.
even if it isn't true, and it probably is:
''About the sharpest bit of gambling
that have seen for some time occurred
up at our town short while ago. said
Lexington sport last night to crowd
of congenial companions.
''YOu all know Ernest Fouchee.
guess every sport in Kentucky knows
Ernest He is the last man in the world
to be picked up for sucker. Well, q
short time ago Ernest went to Chicago
to lay in a supply of cards and chips
for his poker-room. He went to one of
the big card-houses and bought his
goods. He gave directions where to
send them and left. That evening he
steered straight for home. He had
hardly left the card-store when two
men came in and asked if Mr.. Fouchee' 8
package had been sent. The clerk re-
piled that it had not. and they said that
Mr.. Fouchee had changed his mind
about sending it, and that as they were
going to Lexington they would take
charge of the cards. They asked what
the bill was and paid it. OF course the
clerk had no idea of any job. and as the
men paid for the cards he let them take
them of. The two men took the cards
around to their rooms and marked
them. or put marked cards in their
places. They then took the package
around to the express Office and left
word there to have the cards sent to
Lexington. They then got on board
the first train and started for the Blue
grass Capital. The sports of Lexington
were surprised and dazzled by the way
the strangers spent their money. None
of the poker-players made their bets
half so recklessly, and mono of the faro
players piled their chips up so careless
". In two days they got rid of about
$1,000. One Friday night the Chicago
cards came and Fouchee gathered a
little party in his room to try the new
stock. Luck ran toward the strangers,
and as the night began to wane the
piles of money in front of them grew
steadily. At length at ten O'clock Sat-
urday morning Ernest rose from the
table. He had lost everything, and as
the strangers counted over their win
nings they found themselves $4,000
ahead. Fouchee doesn't keep poker
room now"

A Woman's Gloves.

A critical observer makes this sensible
remark: "A woman's glove is to her
what vest is to man." Precisely.
When man is agitated or perplexed
he at once attacks his vest buttons, thus
giving occasion for q certain very ex-
pressive slang phrase. woman's vest
does not admit of this sort of pulling
down. but her glove is always q source
OF Inspiration and refuge from any
embarrassment. She smooths on the
fingers, rearranges tho buttons, drags
out the wrinkles, looks critically at the
tit, and does dozen little things with
her gloves that betray or allay nervous
ness. and quite sustain the truth of tho
above quotation.

Reading Aloud and Mispronounoing.

About once in three years contro
versy springs up on reading aloud. u
We have one now in full blast. Usual.
ly conducted on the same conventional
lines, leading to nowhere in particular,
it has been enlivened by brief letter to
contemporary. whose correspondent
points out that one reason why there is
SO little good reading loud among Eng.
glish people is that many persons are
afraid to trust themselves to pronounce
words which they have never heard
pronounced by others; and that this is
one OF the penalties which we pay for
irregular spelling. The correspondent
is quite justified in strengthening his
argument by the well-known and genu-
inc story of the French lady who, speak
ing of "high life, pronounced the word
so as to rhyme with tig-leaf. But when
we come to consider the case of those
who are afraid to read aloud lest thew
should stumble across words which they
have never heard pronounced by others
it must be asked who and where those
others are who can teach their fellows
to pronounce the English language
properly. At how many school exam
nations is not the critical ear offended
by hearing the senior pupil, boy or girl,
in reciting the prize harangue pro-
nounce the word ''to'' as ..tewp' What
could teachers have been about to let
such barbarism pass? And yet, in
another school examination further

and a painful expression of sadness and
perplexity spread over his countenance.
Mr.. Speed, noticing the look. and right
ly interpreting it to signify that the
price exceeded Lincoln's means, quick

osition to make you. My partner has
just got married, and his bed in my
room upstairs is vacant. If you are
willing to occupy it, and share my
room with me, you are more than well

Do Dogs Understand Qur Language;

An article in recent number of the
Boston Journal on this subject was re-

one of them Buck and the other Noun

the chase, and upon frosty day in
December they had fox on large
open meadow of some fifty acres, OBJ
long in shape, and were pressing him
hard when came up and got q good
shot at him, but failed to bring him
down. The fox, when hard pressed,
will often make circuit around hill
or meadow two or three times, and by
his movements [ thought he was going
to do 50 in this instance. When the
dogs came up said to Mountain: 1.-THE
fox is coming here again; head him off
across lots. He at once stopped his
baying and started in across-lot course,
while Buck pressed hard in the rear
with his usual noise and vigor. In a
few minutes it was all over with Rey-
nard. he running almost directly into
the dogs mouth, who, in good hound
style finished him at once. During the
winter evenings following, my neigh
