From the San Francisco Call.

FROM the san crHnClScO GAIL
On the east side of Dupont street, near Clay,
a building is being altered for the purpose of es-
taDlishng restaurant in it, and in connection
Herewith there is being fitted up a room which
will be used by Chinese gamblers. The room
is twenty-five feet wide by eighteen deep. The
studding has been covered inside and out with
grOOved and tOngued pitch pine. The outside
of each partition is covered with sheet iron one
OF round-headed carriage bolts, set about five
inches apart.
The entrance from the street is through
narrow door set in the western partition, and
hid from view by q broad staircase that leads to
the upper floor. The casing of this doorway is
covered with steel strips a quarter OF an inch
thick and several inches wide, which are as
well secured to the partition by iron bolts
as possible. On the floor, in place
OF the ordinary threshold, there is
is fastened by means of "a swivel bar, which fits
into the sockets, and in addition thereto there
Is a heavy irOn-bound piece of timber, six feet
long. which, If occasion requires, may be
thrO Tn against the door as brace, from floOr
hold. Tue door itself Is of three-inch pine
riveted.
In the rear partition there is door that opens
Into a large Kitchen connected with the restau-
rant. The kitchen Is a room the walls of which
are of brick. Two windows light the room, but
each Of these has heavy iron gratngs set in
under the most favorable circumstances officers
having wedges axes, pinchbars and iron mauls
could not effect an entrance into 1t under n
hours very hard work.
The purpose Of the door into the Kitchen is
that In case q raid Is made, the players may
carry the evidence which, ii found, would lead
to conviction into the cook shop, and destroy it
by throwing it into the furnace.

Grassh0ppers AZ Indian Diet.
HOW THE INSECTS ARE CAUGHT AND PR
PARED.

From the Chico Enterprise
The unusually large number Of grasshoppers
this spring and the excitement they have
caused with our local newspaper itemizers will
now be Gained. The indians have started in
with twigbrooms and are driving them into
round holes which they dig in the ground. The
mOdus Operandi can be seen up Chico creek
near the Rancho Chico sheep camp, On the
plains, where ten or twelve bands of five or six
Indians in each are at work. The first opera
ton is to dig a funnel-shaped hole, three feet
across and about three feet deep. Then the
band scatter out on a skirmisn line in different
directions and commence sweeping and "driv-
ing the hoppers toward the pithole and by
good share of the OrthOpterOus insects toward

gal Indian lifts them out Into a wheat sack.
The crawling, jumping mass in the pit, when
the "drive" Is done, would do any vengeful
gra niger good, as he thinks Ofthe horrid fate in
store for his enemies, to be roasted to death at
some Indian restaurant. The process of cook
Ing Is unique, II not elegant. Hot stones are

A Model Household.

THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA AND THE GREAT AND
GOOD WORK SHE DOES.
From the Yonths Companion.
Alexandria III. of Russia not only succeeded
to the power, but also to the dangers and hor-
rors, of his assassinatcd fathers throne.
Thoughtless critics. themselves in safe distance
from any danger, reproach the Car with want
of pluck; they taunt him with coward yshiding
from his occult enemies instead of openly
braving them. These people hardly realize
what it is to be- day after day. for weeks
and months and years, surrounded by mystic
rious threats.
But there is a good deal Of exaggeration In the
reports OF the gloom resting over the household
at, GatschiDa palace and of the seclusion in
which the Car and his family are living. The
truth is that they bear up wonderfully against
the depressing influences surrounding them,
and this Is to large extent due to the daunt--
less spirit and high courage Of the empress
Even those who find fault with everything
else willingly declare that she is the heroine at
Their eldest son, Grand Duke Nicolaus, now
the heir-apparent to the throne, is said to be
most like his mother, bright and lively, very
fond of all kinds of sport. George, the second,
is the image of his father, and the same is said
of Michael The only daughter, Grand Duchess
XeBia, promises to become quite beauty and
when on the regular summer visit in Copenha-
gen, is the rival of her cousins of Great Britain
Greece and Denmark.
The domestic life OF the emperor and the en-
press Is as happy as it can be, and stands as a
model to their millions of subjects. While the
time and the energy of the car is taken entirely
up by the many and difficult cares of govern
ment, heavier, perhaps, in Russia than in any
other country, and fraught with immense re-
sponsibiity, the empress devotes herself prin-
cipally TO the numerous beneficent societies aud
charities of which she has inherited the patron
age from the late empress.
She brings to bear upon this business her
quickness of conception, energy of decision and
great kindness of heart. Surrounded by horrors,
and beset by dangers, still the imperial house
hold Of Russia presents rare spectacle of high
souled sense of duty and Of sincere matrimo-
NAL love.

Youthful smartness and what 1t Cost.


a student at Harrow one day politely went to
the assistance of a stout farmer on horseback in
difficulties with a gate lock. ''Thank you, my
boy said the farmer. who was one of the
wealthy Middlesex graziers. "What may your
name be-" "My names Green" returned the
boy. land what is your father?' ION, my
fathers cheesemonger.' said the smart
scholar, chuckling internally az his ready wit;
..and he lives in London in the Theobalds
Road" "Im very much obliged to you,' re-
piled the farmer. You're a capital young
chap, shant forget YOU Don't" was the
scholars final thrust. "Remember Green, and
a cheesemonger In TheobaidS Road And up
the hill the boy went, much pleased with him
self and the clever story he had told the farmer.
Recently young gentleman of the name of
Green was advertised for, whose father kept a
cheesemonger's shop in the Theobaids Road
and who, in return for politely opening gate
at Harrow, was left large legacy by the wealthy
farmer, recently deceased. So ran the adver-
tfsement, but the student, now youthful pro-
1essional and greatly in need Of money. could
not answer it, nor prove his right to the legacy.
For neither was his name Green nor any thing
approaching it, nor had his father, a quiet
country gentleman, ever, even in the remotest
fashion, been interested In cheese The young
barrister now waits in poverty for briefs, and
wishes he had been less witty and more truth
