Palatial Drinking-Places.
[Chica1o Newa1


aThis place cost ne SIS, ,OOO,n said the pro
prietor of an elegantly fitted up saloon to a
reporter, as he swelled his chest and waved
manner over the mahogany bar The place
In question certainly was gorgeous enough
to satisfy the most exacting of the whisky
drinkers; but, in quest of still finer saloons,
the reporter went into one q few steps away,
rors, polished brass, and stained glass screens
with gaslights placed behind to show of
their beauties
"What did you say it costp asked the as
tonished inquirer, as he held on to brass
railing, and asked the proprietor to say it
again
Il said it cost ~, 900, and il you don't be-
lieve 1t can show you the bills, repeated
the person addressed This is no contract
job, either. l said to the man who fixed her
up: Go ahead, and send in your bills, and
there amt q place in the country that can
beat it, and I've seen em all"
This establishment is fitted up with i'm
ported English oak and mahogony wood. A
wide fireplace Is built in one corner of Min
ton tile and polished brass. Wherever a
window can be put fanciful design in
stained glass is placed, and a half-dozen fine
oil-paintings decorated the walls.
Across the street is another place that cost
$4,000. 1t is fitted up with marble. The
bar mirrors cost $4,000, and the screen in
front Of the entrance, composed Of massive
carved walnut with mirror and clock,
cost 81, 400 A short tour about the princi-
pal streets showed that there were q dozen
other places where the thirsty pedestrian can
satisfy his appetite for alcoholic beverages
in saloons costing from S2o, 900 to 81, 900 to
fit up It would seem that the modern topper
can NO longer take his nip over anything
less costly than q marble or mahogany bar.

Bismarck and His Penny.
[Temple Bar.l

When Bismarck bad been appointed to the
legation at Frankfort a post which he owed
to the delight with which Frederick William
~ had read his blun speeches in the
Prussian lower house, he was present at a
public ball, whore Q member Of the French
corps legislstif, N. Jouvois de Clancy, was
pointed out TO him as . noted fire eater.
This gentleman had been Republican, but
had turned his coat after the coup d'etat
He was q big man with dandifed airs, but
evidently not much accustomed tc society,
for he had brought his hat-not compress
sible one-intos he ballroom, and in waltz
ing be held 1t In his left hand. The sight of
the big Frenchman careering round the
room with this hat extended at arms length
was too much for Bismarck's sense of fun;
%, as n. Jouvois revolved past him, he
dropped a copper coin into the hat
One may imagine the scene. The French
man, turning purple, stopped short in his
dancing, lei back his partner to her place,
and then came with flashing eyes to demand
satisfaction. There would have been assault
and battery on the spot II friends had no,
interposed; but on tho following day ths
Frenchman and the Prussian met with pis-
tolls and the former was wounded. Unfor.
tsmately for Bismarck, n. Jouvois knew
Louis Schneider, the ex-comedian, who had
become court councillor to Frederick Will
lam w, and was that eccentric monarch's
favorite companion. Schnsider had but q
moderate fondness for Bismarck, and he
represented his act Of gaminerie in so un-
favorable light to the king that his mai
est. instructed the foreign Office to read the
newly appointed diplomatist severe lesson.

Hot Plates at Table.
fphiladalDhia CALL

AL housekeepers wish the plates that arc
TO be used for hot meals brought to the
table hot; but so much injury is done to the
plates by cracking the glazing and making
them look old and uncleanly, that it is
grief of heart to the careful housekeeper.
All this may be remedied by never putting
plates on the range, on the shelf over the
range, or in the water to warm Have boil
ing water always in the tea-kettle when
cooking. It is constantly being needed.
Have large tin pan or small wooden tub
close at hand. As soon as the dinner is
ready to be dished put the plates that will
be needed into the pan or tub and cover
them with boilin water; when all is ready
to be placed on the table take out the plates,
wipe them on a fresh, clean cloth, and they
will be placed before the host as hot as he
will care to handle, and yet not hot enough
to burn the hand. This prevents all posi-
bility of defacing the plates and insures
perfectly clean dishes, with none Of the dis
agreeable reminders Of soapy dish-water,
which is SO repulsive.

Another scaoOI or manual labor which il
referred to is that at Cruzot, where are the
most important iron works in France This
formerly poverty stricken village had about
become ruined in the iron trade, when the
Schneider family took possession Of it. They
had teachers in elementary studies, natural
philosophy, chemistry Of metals, modelling,
drawing, and when they found any
pupil especially fine or improv-
ing they ssnt him away to the
technical schools and brought him back to
assist in the management. The rest of the
boys are drafted from the schools into the
works-some as plain workmen, others as
accountants and draughtsmen- 1t is said
there is not a man in this school among the
mechanics employed in the construction Of
engines who could not make an accurate
drawing Of the work on which be is engaged

them his personal attention and supervision.
Consequently Limoges has risen to become a
huge place, the proclaim manufacture has
become immense, the private habits of the
people wonderfully improved, and now that
school is called the National School Of the
Decorative Art, and is open to both boys and

STUCK IN A DRIFT.


Relieving the Passengers Of . Snowbound
Central Pacific Train.
Chicago Herald "Train TaIk"J
"This little snow snap doesn't amount to
anything" remarked an old railroad man
"If you want to see Sow that's snow just go
out to the Sierra Nevadas on the Central Pa
ciic. If train gets stuck in drift here
for half an hour people think it an awful
thing, but remember once where q whole
trim was buried in the snow for q week. An
avalanche came down the mountain side and
buried EN- under some hundred feet Of snow.
There want much use Of digging for 'em,
cause the snow would pile in as fast as it
could be dug out
But the passengers were starving to
death, and something had to be done. The
relief party got . surveyor to locate the
train as nearly as possible. and it was de-
signed to put q party on top Of the slide
with a drill to put q hole down through to
the train in which some food and drink
could be poured But it was soon found
that the slide was shifting all the time near
the top, and the tubing which was put in
the drill hole was broken of That scheme
had to be abandoned. Then suggested q
plan which was Immediately adopted. We

pushed it in by means of iron rods Putting
on one rod after another we succeeded in
showing it clear in so that it reached the
train. Using the rubber hose for q speaking
tube we told the prisoners what they
should do.
Attaching the air-pump on the engine to
this hose they pumped in hot soup and bits
Of meal and bread, vegetables, etc, every
time they wanted meal Between meals
they pumped in whisky, beer, kerosene oil,
and stuff like that-an through the same
tube. Then I had another idea. By sup
plying the hose with plenty Of hot water,
and by keeping the pump going, We sue

Women in Texas
nuz..o--, Ia,-,,.I

There are a great many handsome men in
Texas The free, outdoor life, with much
horseback riding, gives them good forms,
clear eyes and compilations. There is a
great deal native intelligence and good
thinking.
The women among the wellto-do classes
appear to live mostly indoors Even in
cities very few are seen on the street or in
the stores. They are not as often rosy
checked as the men, but much oftener
powdered. Living with doors and windows
open a large part Of the year, and in houses
all the year that let in the air on every side,
it seems strange that they do not look
fresher. At one place, where the railroad
missed the town mile, and all the stores
had been taken to the depot, We asked how
they got to the stores through the mud
'Oh, We never go; the men go on horse
back and they do the buying"
So it is not uncommon to see men buying
dress goods, stockings and other articles for
women's wear.
Good help is scarce, and the women usually
do the housekeeping in few rooms, every
one of which has one or more beds in it
Their timidity is SO great that they object to
two-story houses, because the wind blows" :"
For recreation many dip snuff and read
stories. Old snutf-dippers look snuff-colored.
Among the poorer classes women work in
the fields at cotton raising. Eoeing and
picking are done by hand, and what one
man can plant and plow, several hands are
required to hoe and pick. But raising cot
ton is clean farm work There ara no briars
to scratch, nor juice to stain the hands. The
stopping is tiresone, but less so than pick
ing strawberries Children are valuable
pickers, being nimble and of suitable height
We have seen little girls who had picked
hundreds of pounds, with sunbounets and
mits on in the bot sun, who were not tanned
at all In years when the crop is good
wages are high, and many well-to-do women
60 out and pick cotton. They are paid by
the hundred pounds
