-Oh, yes, it is "A good deal Of an art TO mix
drinks properly. said the bsrkeeper, as be
set the cocktail on the mahogany and put fif-
teen cents in the drawer Some barkeeuars
make big wages, too. because they can mix a
drink in fancy shape, but that's nothing
compared with what some men make tina,
can mix the liquors themselves. Almost any
man can put a little Angostura and syrup
and whisky in glass and STIR it up, but when
a man can put some rsisins and pure spirits
and a few drugs in a barrel and make pretty
good hqHor, he's an artist and dandy. Those
fellows come high, but the wholesalers have
to have EN-. know one big liquor house in
Chicsgo that pays a man $4,000 year to
make liquor for them. The other houses have
tried to get him, but his firm won't let him
go. Son take a man that can have the head
of the house say TO him at supper: Casey &
Curacao want 100 barrels '5S Maryland rye
right off, ami can 80 and make up the whole
order out of the raw material and get it bar
relied by i'll the morning, and he's the life of
the business: $1,000 year amt much for
him. Detroit Journal

Visiting the Dime Museum.

No place is better adapted TO the study Of
human nature i'll its many forms and condi-
tons than the dime museum. Through the
courtesy of my friend | witnessed the Der
formance at his museum. The play was un-
deniablv bad. 1t was of the blood curdIing
order and contained the customary hero,
heroine and heavy villain. The machination.
OF the latter were on every occasion discov-
cred i'll the nick of time by the hero, much to
the joy of the small boys in the gallery and
the no less staid occupants of the orchestra
stalls. During the two acts was present no
less than a dozen shots were fired, and the
same number Of men supposedly killed or
fatally injured. The powder waiting out
into the auditorium caused much discomfort,
but this in no way dampened the ardor of the
gallery gods or one whit lessened the pleasure
which the exciting incidents Of the following
acts gave them. Old and blase theatre goers,
when tired Of the legitimate, should, as a re-
Taxation, visit the dime museum. There, al
though the play may not interest them, they
could take pleasure in the pleasure of Others.

Speaking OF funerals, a pastor of rustic
parish once told of a queer scene at a eere-
mony which he conducted. 1t was a child
who was buried, and the mother was too Ill
to so TO the grave. She was also miserably
poor. and could afford no mourning. And in
order that things might be as nearly fitting
As possible, the poor mother remained in bed
In the room in which the last prayers were
offered, and had black shawl which was
among her belongings spread wide upon the
bed, to serve as symbol Of griefI
She was dressed in mourning after
fashion, and those who saw her sndeavor
were touched both by her bereavement and
ey her pathetic devotion TO conventionslity,

CHRISTMAS FANC|Es

Way up north, where the icebergs glimmsr
Meath the mild aurOra's light,
Where the hungry polar bears listen
And the northern stars shine bright;
A great big sled with merry jingle
Hove in sight and an iceberg crossed,
And in it sat our friend. Kris Kingle,
Father Time and Old Jack Frost.
Father Time blew on his fingers
And catching breath, he said, said he:
MY friend, I've been where no man fingers,
Over land and over sea,
Winged my way through every nation,
Priced my goods on every shore,
But I've made the observation
That goods are best at J. N. knotss
store.
Old Jack Frost then spoke in answer:
What you tell is true, know;
His cheap goods are simply grand, sir,
And his prices very low.
All the cold waves, all the stOrming
That l sent to Springfield,
Tell quite plain before the warming
Coats that came from J. NJ. knOte's store
Kris Kingle sat is rapt attention,
Drank in every word they spoke;
Then he said IT'S my intention
To drive my sleigh straight to Spring
field,
Straight I'll enter through his open doorway,
Buy the best he has on hand,
And from Africa TO Norway
Speed his fame through every land"

Great RoIIer-A Matter of Duty"

Great RoIIer--A Matter of Duty"
1t was 2 o'clock on a sunmer's morning
when all the guests Of the hotels at Beach
Haven heard the boom of gun aboard ship
in distress, and ten minutfs later 200 people
were on the beach. The wind blew a howl
ing gale and great bank Of imPenetrable
darkness hid everything seward beyond the
first line Of breakers Three times the solemn
boom Of the signal gun fioated TO our ears on
the piping gale, and then came silence
which even the mad rush Of the breakers did
not seem to break. Every ear was bent sea-
ward-every listener felt that the9,loom of the
craft which had made that hostile shore in
that storm was sealed. There was nothing
for ! 900 miles to break the sweep of the gale
and the rush of the sea
~Hark,"
hundred voices shouted the word to-
gether 1t was the rub Of oars in their locks
and next moment the life saving boat, whose
station WAS mile below Us, hung far above
our heads on great sea-Sank out of sight i'll
a way TO make every heart chill-heaved into
view again, and then came rushing at the
sloping beach of sand with the froth SO deep
around her, and the spume and spray flying
over her in such cloud that we only saw the
dark bodies above her gunwaleS. She rushed
to our feet on a great roller, half dozen men
sprsns out and pulled her out of reach OF the
next, and then eight wet and limp and fright
ened men We're helPed out and given restora-
tires.
What wns it!" asked some one Of the life
guard captain.
An Austrian bark on the bar"
"And how many were l,St"
Seven"
In quarter Of an hour all were gone, and
it would have seemed a dream had not the
waves for three miles up and down been
finging spaTs and plnnks and beams and
boards on the beach a. indisputabls evidence
Of sea tragedy. Every man Of the life saw
ing crew had taken bis life in his hands as he
met that shrieking gale aud those mad waves,
but not a man bOaSted-there was not even
exultation in their deneanor. The next
wreck might take every life. That was
chance to he run. Rescuers and rescued
melted out of our sight like so many spectcrs,
and we saw ITEM no more.-Detroit Free
