AUCTION SCENES IN BIsE.
HEN.

Although the free Hanseatic City
of Bremen has gradually done
away with many Of her traditional
prerogatives, yet does she cling to
some of them to this day. The
Senators no longer wear Spanish
wigs or cloaks, but the so-called
Council messengers still appear on
solemn occasions in flaming red
coats, knce-breeches, white stock
ings and side-swords. The gates
are no longer closed at night, nor
are the bells rung on the outbreak
of a fire; but the "Rathskeller'' is
punctually closed at 10 pm, and
nobody is allowed to enter the sacred
precincts after that hour. With re-
markable tenacity, however, the
good Bremeners adhere to the an
cient custom of the so-called "burn-
ing CANDLE" by the light of which
all peremptory sales of real estate
take place to this day, as may be
seen every Friday in q hall over
the old exchange. At one end Of
a long table is seated a judge and
scribe, at the other stands the city
crier, and by his side, a Council
messenger, in flaming red dress,
holding q stable lantern. In his
hand he has box filed with ends
of small candles that can burn but
a few minutes, and Of which he has
to light one after the other until
no other bid is made before the
candle goes out, in which case the
last and of course highest bidder be-
comes the owner of the estate. AS
late as the beginning of this century
every person who overbid another
while the candle was still burning,
thereby putting up the price, re-
ceiyed a qualification ola so-called
:'fne third" equal to about two
marks. Frequently some porters
errand men would come in and bid
in order to turn an honest penny
by going for the fine third" al
though they ran the risk of some
weeks Imprisonment if by chance
the candle went out and they thus
remained the last bidders without
being able to pay for the property
knocked down to them on account.
It is a comical sight TO enter the
hall just at the moment when one
bidder has silenced a competi-
tor. All eyes turn to the bit of can
die in the lantern, which grows
smaller and smaller; hardly a breath
is drawn; the company looks as if
they were petrifed. Suddenly there
comes another bid, another candle
is lighted, and the comedy is re-
peated, until finally the extinction
of candle has fastened the sale
upou the last bidder. This custom
of the "burning candle" may be
justly termed one of the traditional
peculiarities of Bremen, there being
but few, if any, other German cities
or towns in which this ancient Gus.
tom still obtains.

HOW To CARVE AT TABLE.

First as to tools, let the knife be
Of the keenest and the fork of the
sharpest, and keep them in excellent
condition at all times, otherwise the
most competent carver cannot avoid
mangling fish, flesh and fowl. Be.
fore setting the carver to work it
may be well to advise as to what
may be called carver's etiquette.
When carving, do not stand up, or
sit with arms akimbo or bow the
back. All the necessary strength
can be brought to bear while seated
by inclining the body sufficiently
forward. During all of the pauses
in carving the knife and fork should
be placed on the knife-rest, and
never thrust under what is being
carved. Nor should the knife and
fork be held in one hand while add
ing the gravy with the spoon in the
other. Do not tilt the dish while
serving the gravy, or the table-cloth
may be soiled or the roast capsized.
Should there be no gravy-well, a
tiny crust of bread may be placed
under one end of the dish to cant
it little. Serve horse-radish with
the fork. Up to the moment of using
the gravy spoon should be in a vessel
Of hot water placed at the right
hand of the dish. Hot plates are
essential to the perfect condition
Of roast meat; even a second hot
plate for a second helping. 1t is
scarcely necessary 10 caution the
carver not to forget to ask what
the preference is before carving.
When carving fish, if salmon,
avoid breaking the flakes by divid-
ing crosswise; carry the knife down
to the bone lengthwise of the fish,
and remove q slice Of either the
thick or thin part, as preferred.
Mackerel are split at the tail, and
the upper half raised from the bone
at that part; the bone is removed
and the lower half served either
entire or divided in sections. This
applies to most other small fish.
In carving q turkey or chicken,
roasted or boiled, place it with the
neck toward you; take off the leg
at the fist joint and then the thigh,
or take off the whole leg and then
joint it. Remove the wing close to
the joint, leaving the breast intact.
Then commence from the wing
joint, cutting straight into the bone
and somewhat diagonally up to the
front Of the breastbone. Remove
the side bones by placing the fork
firmly into the breastbone and cut
ting with the knife from the tail
end.
With goose or duck, after the
joints are removed, as already des-
cribed, draw the knife straight
across the breastbone the entire
length of the meat and directly to
the bone, serving outwardly and
with parts Of the meat from the
thigh.

firmly answered sheriff Francis.
Captain Palmer deliberately drew
his watch from his pocket, and look
ing steadily at the minute hand
said:
':Mr. Sheriff, I will give you just
FIVE minutes to retire from the front
of that Jail with your deputies; if
you stand there one second over the
five minutes, | will blow you, your
deputies, and the front ofthe jail to
destruction"
He held his watch steadily in
one hand, and with the other light
ed a fuse and held it over the can
non. For about four minutes it
Was still as death-not q man on
either side moved. Palmer and
Francis stood facing each other
about ten feet apart; there faces
were white as marble, but not a
muscle moved. Both men were
giants in stature, and brave as lions,
But the sacrifice Of one Of those
lives for the four cut-throats was too
much, and Francis waved his hand,
and his deputies stood one side,
and he walked up to Captain Palm
er and handed him his rifle. After
the Sheriff and his deputies were
put under guard, the four murderers
were taken from their sells and led
upon the scafold.
They were blindfolded, and a
moose hastily placed about their
necks. Masterson stood on the
left, large, powerful man, about
forty years old; next to him, on the
right, stood Daily, q man, Of me-
dium size, about thirty years old, a
miserable wretch who stated in
Jail, just before he was hanged, that
he had killed two persons besides
johnson, and one Of them was q
child. Three-fngered Jack stood
on Daily's right; he was q man Of
small stature about thirty-five years
old, dark complexion, and black,
piercing eyes. He looked truly the
bandit that he was. Buckley stood
on the extreme right; he was 4
small slender youth, Of about twen-
ty years. He asked to have the
bandage taken from his eyes. 1t
was done, and he wrote few words
to his mother, and handing it to q
friend. said. with a smile to the ex-
ecutioner;
"Now 1 am ready; you can cut
the rope"
Masterson and Buckley died
braYely, but Daily and Three-fn-
gered Jack died like cowardly ours.
Both attempted suicide on the scat
fold. Daily swallowed arsenic,
while Three-fngered Jack suddenly
drew a derringer pistol from his
boot leg, and putting it to his head,
drew the trigger. But it snapped.
He threw it OIL the scafold, and ut
tered a wild cry, saying:
q must die like q dog!''
In less than half an hour after
the four men were taken from their
cells over six hundred men, armed
with repeating rifles, surrounded
the gallows in close order, to pre-
vent any attempted rescue of the
prisoners, as it was said a large
force Of roughs were coming from
Washoe save the c;llprits. Captain
Palmer gave the s NAL to the four
executioners by wlying his sword.
At that signal gla was fred on
the opposite hill, ;;nd the four muir
derers were launct I'd into eternity.

that she had been married before,
and so had her husband, and each
had adaughter by the first marriage.
Then they had another daughter.
Mrs. Brown, used to present the

way: "This is Miss Brown, Mr..
Browns daughter by his first wife;
this is Miss Sanders, my daughter
by my first husband, and this is Miss
Brown, our joint daughter!'

Ireland. You break no law of
America in supporting the dyna-
mite war. The law does say that
you must not make war on Eng
land whenln the United States, but
it is silent about your putting out
your dollars for men who will strike
England with dynamite" When
will the end be? England has found
Ireland most restless province,

wholesome laws the Irish would be
her most loyal subjects.

busting For . Living.

I'm duster, said young woman, who
New York Sun reporter met in a pri-
vate house uptown. professional duster
I'm not the only one it's regular pro-
fession, busting is, nowadays. The par
lors of the rich have grown to be SO MANY
museums of delicate and costly orna-
ments. To dust and arrange these COL
lections every day would too severely
tax the stsength Of the wealthy ladies.
To set the servants at the work was
found to be bad management, not because
they were bungling and liable to smash
the delicate fabrics, but because the ser
wants have no time to spare from other
duties. Therefore the mistresses employ
competent women to keep their parlors
in order. The busting business is an es-
tablished industry, but it is confined to
the metropolis, and almost entirely to
the region of the brown-stone fronts. All
the busters l know of are women who
have seen better days, but, Of course, it
isn't every educated and refined woman
who can make good buster.
What are the requirements
She must be light-footed, quick, and
strong in the arms AMI wrists. To visit a
dozen houses in the forenoon before call
ers arrive and dust and arrange things is
no child's play. A woman must fairly
jump at her work.
What is the remuneration
Well, seventy-five cents or a dollar .
visit, sometimes more. At some houses
where the hostess entertains good many
guests the rooms are arranged every day.
Orders are given to the busters to change
the arrangement of the appointments
every time they come. Then again, .
buster must know how to take hold of
every kind of knick-knack, and how to
move it safely. She must know just
what sort of brush to use for every sort
of busting. The brush that will not break
a filmy tissue of glass is useless on piece
of furniture, and would not reach the
ceiling corners. She must have several
brushes, and she must not be careless or
slapdash for an instsnt. There are few
bits of bric-a-brac in these parlors that l
could replace with six months earnings.
