Fad Chinese Boys in San Francisco.

Fad Chinese BOYS in San Francisco.
So far reference has been had only to the
der class Of hoollum Nongolans. There is
other class, no less dangerous to society, to
found among the Chinese boys, many Of
whom are members of industrious families.
The example set by the older coughs is imi-
tated as closely as it is possible for those Of
tender age to follow in the footsteps of their
elder cousins" To lie bad. thoroughly and
irrevocably bad, is their highest ambition.
They pick up American profanity readily,
and use il with a freedom and frequency that
would drive the most depraved American
hoodlum to despair. But ii Is not on their
proficiency in the use of oa;hS or filthy lam
Cuage that the young p2~anS rest their repu-
tation for wickedneSS. 1t affords them a GER
tain pleasure TO mingle with the Sunday school
Youths of their own race and fire off a few
bombshells of profanity now and then, while
the Christianized MongolianS raise their eyes
in holy horror But this is only tleeting JOY.
To sport q weapon of otfense in the shape OF
a knife or pistol. and TO display II on all occa-
sions when the eve of the police is not upon
them, is pleasure sinacking more of delight
full outlawrv, and it is enjoyed TO the full by
the bad young man in Chinatown \ knife
having four-inch blade and a short, thick
handle-one of those wicked looking knives
that cut both ways and must be carried IN
leather sheath-is the delight Of the MonSo-
liam hoodlum. The sheath is generally fast
ened TO d strap about the waist, and is CON
cealed from view by the outer garments
Such knives have been found in the possession
of Chinese hoo3lunlS under 10 years of age.
1t is. indeed, doubtful if the majority Of the
class under discussion do not carry q weapon
of this kind and sometimes two or three. with
pistol to boot. The more closely be resem-
bles walking arsenal the better the young
pagan is pleased with himself, for be can then
easily convince the Chinatown residents that
he is very, very bad young man.-San

HOW TO MAKE BRETZElS.
A Glance at the Dainties in Their Most
Incipient State.

A Glance at the Dainties in Their Most
Incipient State.
"Good morning, Herr Goetz," :" said young
man to bleecker street baker who holds a
secret,
Good morning" Then, after the visitor
had explained his object, the baker re-
sumed.
Want to find out Something's about bret
zels, eh. Why dom yer look in some books?
l don know ven, or where, or how dey came
to be made Guess id vas in Chermany, Pc
fore der foodt"
Zell's, Chambers, and Johnson's diction-
aries and the American encyclopedias say
nothing about bre-zels The infallible En-
cyclopedia britannica, never heard of the
foreign stuff No German American
dictionary contains the word "pretzel," or
"bretzeL" The Encyclopedia of Cookery
knows nothing about such pastry. Wor-
cester is ignorant of the word, and Web
ster, prince of photographers, tells all he
knows in one line:
"Bretzel sell, n. [Gerl A kind Of hard,
brittle cake"
THE people want to know how they are
made, Mr.. Goetz" said the visitor "A
bretzel is such curious piece of delicatessen; !;
such horny, salt, hard shelled, twisted
jawbreaker that they want to know all
about them"
1t had been quite task to find the baker,
whose shop is down an alley, back of a
store, and is surrounded by a woodward.
No sounds came from the bakery, but
through the dusty, flour-covered windows
men were seen moving about, and a bright
light shone out as from an open furnace
door. Herr Goetz rested his broad should
ers against a wood pile, Strengthened his
arms out along the pile and said:
Tell der people dot l make me one
dousand fife hundred bretzels efery day-dot
uses up dreequarsers of oarrel of -four; tell
dem dot one man. if he is quick, can roll
un twist about fife hundred of dem in one
hour; dot der dough is put drough der
kneading machine more dan hundred
times; unit dot it is made init hop yeast,
shust like bread Tell dem dot der sponge"
stands fife hours by der tick of der watch.
Go open der door und see for yourself"
Tables, trays, shelves, boards, and an old
cellar door were covered with unbaked bret
zels. They were smooth, and as white as
ivory. A small boy gathered them up on
his fingers, like rings, and dropped them,
like doughnuts, into a kettle full of strong,
boiling lye. A baker, in white overalls,
with apron, and cap, finished with perfor-
ated ladle like skinner for the white
dumplings in the I've kettle Another baker,
with a long handled wooden shovel, stood
near with barrel of coarse salt at his side.
The steaming, wet bretZels were laid in
rows on the shovel, were sprinkled with
salt, and then, by dexterous twist of the
wrist. were landed on the brick floor at the
Lack end of an open Dutch oven.
why do you steep them in lye, Mr..
Goetz." asked the young man, returning to
the wood pile.
"You dom know dot, do you, eh! Neider
dom l. My fadder made 'em like dot He
is dead, unit l promised nefer to give i'd
away."-New York Star.

THE MEASURE.

How much | love thee, dost thou ask. Then
go,
Bring me the scale in which Divinity
Did cast the earth, sun, moon and stars,
while he
Creation 5 morn the beam adjusted SO
That, since, all things hang balanced here
telow:
One side the scale place all my love for thee,
And weight the other with intinity-
Then gaze on them in equipoise and know.
Looking far out from shore the SKY doth
seem
To kiss the sea and bring intinity
To end upon its bosom; 1 did dream
Once love was bounded so, till taught by
thee
Each conine reached doth ope a wider
view,
Each joy attained but leadeth to a new.

The PhilOsOpher.

In building up natur' he thought the Creator
Had blunderId unspeakably queer,
And he said he and Darwin and Billy Nc
Warren
Could prove the whole thing out of gear.
He said the whole pattern from Neptune to
Saturn
Was cut by bungling design,
And that no particular was plumb perpen-
dicular,
And exact every time to the line.
He said that no critic, with brain analytic
Could tolerate things that he saw;
He said he would suffer if anv old duffer
Couldn't pick out blemish or flaw.
Any man with a Uranium as big's geranium
Could see the whole thing was botch,
See where natur' had blundered in points by
the hundred
In the space of five ticks of his watch.
And so day and night he advised the Al
mighty
With advice he believed of great worth,
And his wife took in sewing to keep life
agoing
While he superntended the earth

The lrisn brigade at taIr Oaks.

| afterward heard the inceSSant roll of
musketry at the Wilderness and at Spott-
sylvania, but notwithstanding this was my
first serious battle, still believe that while
it lasted the firing at Fair Oaks was unsur-
passed in the campaigns of Virginia. The
battery was not actively engaged until the
close of the tight-and then one section was
sent forward to shell the retreating enemy,
but was held in readiness about half mile
i'm rear of the actual scene of conflict which
was hidden from view by a thick but mar
row belt of woods We could follow the
fuctuating fortunes of the day by the way
the fire advanced and retired accompanied
by the solid cheers Of our men and the sharp,
continuous yell of the enemy Presently
the fire came nearer, and with an increased
crash on the other side and perceptible
slackening on ours In few minutes strag
glers and wounded men began to emerge from
the timber. The first brigade of our divis-
ion was being driven in. Gen. Sumner sent
in the next brigade Howard's, and with this
fresh force the fire again resumed its full
volume, reaching the climax OF this battle
A nearer approach of the fire, another
lull in our direction and wild yells, meant
second repulse, and now we saw Cen
Sumner ride up TO the Irish Brigade, but

We saw his hat off and his gray locks barred
as he evidently made short speech, proba-
bly, the only one OF the old hero's life We
learned afterward that he told them that
they were his last hope; if they failed him
all was lost; but, said he, "Ill 60 my stars

want to see how. Irishmen fight, and when
you run I'll run too" A hearty cheer
greeted his last words, and the brigade
moved into the woods with the air of men
who were going to stay. A fresh crash
showed when they struck the enemy. For
a few minutes the firing was deafening,
then it began to retire. The yells gave way
to long continuous cheers, an aid galloped
up to order a section of artillery to follow
our advancing line, and the battle of Fair
Oaks was won. 1t was an inspiring open
ing of a heroic history, and from that day
Gen. Sumner swore by the Irish brigade
