Here is little information that may
be useful to those who visit Summer
| resorts. 1t is conversation between
a head waiter and guest.
Il always put my best men at the
far end of the dining-room, said the
boss, for the reason that many people
object TO going such a distance from
the kitchen, for fear that they will not
be properly served, or that when the
food does get 10 them it will have be-
come cold. People at the far end OF
the room really require more attention
than any other boarders in the house
for this reason
what are the wages of the wait
erSP' was next asked.
Their wages range from SIS to S25
per week. The cases where men re-
ceive S25 are rare, however. Besides
his wages, good waiter has every
chance to make extras. | have known
several cases where men have made
over 500 per week outside of their
regular wages. Some of the men are
very careful with the money they ac-
cumulate, and lay it carefully by for
the winter, while Others send it home
to their families as quickly as they
make it"
That speaks well for them

who spend nearly every cent foolishiy,

Darlings of the Household

Children will suffer most during the
next three months" said Sixth avenue
physician, speaking upon the subject
yesterday afternoon, from the process
of teething and effects of indigestion.
When the thermometer rises above 80
degrees trouble from these causes may
be expected. Mothers who have q
watchful care of their children will,
during that time, make free use Of
cool water, sponging the child's face
and body frequently. Children should
not be allowed any fatty or heating
food during the Summer. and, indeed, !"
said the doctor in mild parenthesis,
grown people should guard against
them as well. Eat and feed the chill
dren what you know to be the most
easily digested, baked or boiled meats,
served cold, custards, rice and such
things; ice cream and sponge cake are
excellent. Mothers should be especially
careful of babes in their second year.
1t is then that the process of teething
makes them fretful and liable to illness.
Where the children in this condition
show symptoms of fever, relief may be
secured by the application of a cooling
| bath; but should they be attacked with
vomiting, with cool skin, the physician
should be called at once. A drop Of
good brandy in hot, sweetened water
should be given at once, or plasters
applied to the stomach"
This may be an old story" re-
marked the doctor in conclusion, "but
the subject is very timely, and the
points can not be too thoroughly inn
pressed upon mothers. '-PiaS6urg Dis

American Cookery Criticised.

A London writer, who was here in
the train of Irving, has this to say in
an English paper about our cookery:
''From the dreadful corned beef and
cabbage and the fearful fish-balls of
crude American cookery, the family of
Delmonico has by degrees led the
American public to the consideration
of higher things. The favorite dishes
of the great republic have been con-
centrated in New York, and recent ar
rivals are Hospitality challenged to
compare anything in the old world
with them. Politeness prevents such
comparisons, which would hardly be
in favor of either hemisphere. In fish
and game, despite its wide area of
river and prairie, America can in no
way compare with the raw products of
this country. But it has its speciallies.
The oysters of Blue Point and Shrews-
bury River may not be denied any
more than the canvas-back nourished
on the marshes of the Potomac, the
terrapin captured on the shore of the
Delaware. the swapping turtle from the
far West the gumbo soup of New
Orleans or the pampano fish which re-
joiceth the Mexican Gulf. What the
Delmonicos have done is to bring the
enjoyments of the two hemispheres
into combination. They have known
how to make the CLANS, the oysters,
the sheepshead and other strange fish

Economists who reach Manhatta Island.

Tennyson'S "Ancle" and ankle"

A lady who was writing letter sud-
denly asked me. ''Do you spell ANGLE
with or k?' LAS l could not re.
ply, with Mr.. Weller senior spell il
with nee, =" or with Thackeray's officer
about to embark, and inditing letter
to his lady-love, to say that he could
not part from her without a struggle.
''Are there two g's in struggled" s:Try
three my boy'-I replied, Il spell it
with c." She observed, II have writ
ten it with k; and fancy am right. "
Webster's dictionary was appealed to;
and there the word was given as ankle.
| then referred to johnson, the quarto
edition, and although he gives ANGLE,
yet he refers his readers to his ankle,
and evidently prefers that form of
spelling. Baily has favored the c, and
gives ANGLE with the derivations from
Saxon and Danish. Cruden's Concord
ance to the Bible gives ANGLE, and so
does Mrs Cowden Clarke in the soil
tary use of the word by Shakespeare.
Bryan writes ankle (..Don Juan" Ill,
72;) but Tennyson writes ANGLE, except
when he uses the word in conjunction
with another. when he writes ankle, as
in ankle-bells. This seems curious;
and am not aware if the laureate's
variations in the spelling of this word
has been remarked by his commentor.

Wasted Wealth in Nevada,

During the bonanza days, when near
ly dozen big mills Con Six-mile and
Seven-mile canyons) were rushing
through the rich ores of the Comstock,
the tailings that left the mouth of Six
mile canyon were allowed to run
to waste; and spread abroad on the
desert to the northward of the town
of Sutro. Six-mile canyon was then
filled from end to end with blanket
sluices and all kinds of sulphuret catch
ing traps. 1t was thought that when
the tailings left the mouth of the CANYON
they contained so little valuable materi-
al that it would not pay to catch them
up in a reservoir. but the blanket sluices
caught only the sulphurets and other
heavy matter. They did not get the
chloride; that went out with the slums.
For some years past men have been
delving for this wealth lying scattered
upon the deserts sands, and they are
still gathering it in. In the places
where there are now mining for
this material, it does not show on the
surface. The shifting sands of the
desert have hidden it, and it is
overgrown with sagebrush and grease
wood. The deposit must be prospected
for, but when found pay well for the
work OF collecting. Virginia City

A PLANT CATCHES FISH.
remarkable Properties of the Blad
derwort--a Warning to Pisca-
torialists.

Professor Baird of Washington, has
just received from Oxford University,
En- land, d specimen of an aquatic plant
holding in its fond embrace a consider
able number of small fish which it has
caught and killed. This plant is the
great bladderwort known to botanists
as Utriohularta Vutgaris. The species
is widely distributed over England and
has been introduced into our waters,
where it is often found in abundance
in fresh water ponds and bitches and
in the shoal water coves along our
river banks. 1t is large plant with
stems often attaining length of two
or three feet. 1t has no roots, but
floats free in the water, the root, like
its branches, being covered with pin
natifid capillary leaves, each bearing
one or more transparent hollow blad-
ders, with openings at one end which
serve as traps to catch newly-hatched
fishes, minute crustacea, worms and
infusoria. 1t has no digestive apparat-
us, but it is thought to derive nutriment
by absorbing from the decomposing
animals.
The bladderwort has long been
known to catch the lower forms of ami
NAL life, but it was only recently that
its fsh-catching propensities were dis
covered. G. Z. Sims, of Oxford, was
the first to call public attention to the
fact on finding that a specimen that
had been placed in his aquarium for
supplying oxygen to the water was
actually catching and killing large
numbers of newly Matched perch and
roach which had Matched from mass
of eggs lying at the bottom. The lit
tie fish were usually caught by the
head, but some were caught by the
tail, while others were doubly trapped,
the head being held fast by one trap,
and the tail grasped by another, the
fish forming connecting bar between
the two.
To learn something of its destructive
powers Mr. Sims placed $50 perch fry
in Il glass vessel, containing specimens
of the bladderwort and at the end of
two days, all but one or two had been
trapped. Professor Baird thinks the
discovery has an important bearing on
the future abundance of several of our
important food fishes. Twelve to fif-
teen species of the genus, some have
a wide geographical range, and are
found within the limits of the United
States, and millions of fry must be
annually caught in the little bladder
traps. They occur in abundance in
carp ponds throughout the country,
including the United States Fish Com
mission ponds at Washington and in
some localities has been introduced at
considerable trouble and expense, as
it was thought to be excellent food for
the carp. President Baird will cause
every vestige of it to be Immediately
removed from the government ponds,
and will warn carp culturists every
where to examine their ponds and des-
troy any that may be found.
