Where Do Restaurateurs Diner

3 Hotel keepers and restaurant owners
seldom patronize their own establish
ments. That is an odd point, isn't it? It
is fact, though, no matter how odd it
may be. You will see young Charles Del
monico, for example, taking his meals a
good deal oftener in some inferior restau-
rant like Browns than In his own estab-
Ishment, and, if you care to look into the
matter, you will find that nearly oil the
first class hotel proprietors in New York
live outside. I suppose they reflect that
hotels are good enough for people who
don't know better than to live in them,
but are not good enough for the wants of
their proprietors. The late Charles Del
monieo used to eat in his own restaurant
as q general thing, but he couldn't be
tempted to touch the richer yiands most
sought after by his guests. Rare roast
beef and oysters formed the principal
features Of his diet, and the only wine he
drank was yin QFdinajre The present

A Donkey That Found a Mine.

A small old gray donkey passed through
the city yesterday by express consigned to
Mrs. J. IS. Ward, Forest Grove. A notice
On the side of the crate informed the Curl

logg, and that it was the property Of Mr..
N. S. Kellogg, with whom it shares the
honor of discovering the Bunker Hill
mine, the richest mineral lode of the west.
The story goes that the patient, faithful
animal has shared with his master the
tolls of prospecting for many years, pack
ing his bacon and beans, his pick and
shovel and all his other belongings; sus-
tanning himself on bacon gunnies, tin cans
and what odds and ends and crusts his
kind master could provide, eked out by
any vegetation which came to hand--or
rather to mouth. While prospecting In
the Wardner hills Mr.. Kellogg one day
sat down to eat his luncheon, and the
burro, probably tired Of his wandering,
unsettled course of life, began to paw
away the snow and uncovered a cropping
of mineral Mr.. Kellogg wiped his lips,
took out his pick, and the rich discovery
Of the Bunker Hill was made and his
homestead secured. Like q thoughtful,
kind hearted man, he determined his
faithful burro should share his good luck,
and SO he sent the animal all the way by
express to Forest Grove, there to revel in
clover all the remainder of his days. The
little animal, as it stood in Wells, Farr'

haggard, but he earned his rest.-Port-

Beginning of 0uadruple Sheets.

"Away back in the avs when Blu
chanan was president, said Maj. George
F. Williams the other day, "while / was
a mere boy setting type, Robert Bonner
startled the town one morning by filling
q whole page in The Herald, Times and
Tribune with his then novel style of re-
peating small advertisements. He used
to say that Fanny Fern wrote for the
New York Ledger over and over again
until the two lines of caps filled out col
ann; another would be devoted to Syl-
yanus Cobb, another to Mrs. Southworth,
and so on to complete tho page, 1t used to
be difficult, l remember, for the compost
tors to find enough Els and Ms to do the
work. Well, on the morning speak of,
Mr.. Henry J. Raymond had arranged for
the publication Of one of his famous con-
troversial political letters in The Times,
but on picking up his paper at his break
fast table he discovered that it had been
unavoidably left out because of Mr..
Bonner's advertisements, Though The
Times needed money in those days, for
it was still in It's infancy, Mr.. Raymond
was a journalist who knew what he was
about. Mr.. Raymond got as angry as it
was possible with his sunny, amiable tenn
permanent, and wrote an editorial for the
next issue of The Times announcing that
newspapers were primarily published for
the benefit of their readers, who wanted
news and comment. Unless they got that
circulation was in danger, and though six
columns of advertisements brought in
good deal of money, he did not propose to
see The Times swamped with such adver-
tisements as Mr.. Bonner wrote. He said
that thereafter the proprietor of The
Ledger could have only three columns on
any one day, and for time he didn't"
"How did Mr., Bonner like thatF'
''Oh, he was shre~d enough to Gil his
three columns with brief letter to Mr..
Raymond, beginning: No, you don't,
Mr.. Raymond, and stating that as he
could not have six columns on one day he
would take three on two days in the week.
Getting tired of that, Mr.. Bonner con-
tracted with The Herald and Times to fill
an extra sheet of eight pages with his
Fanny Ferns, Sylvanus Cobbs, Edward
Everetts, Mrs. Southworths, ct al. That
was the beginning Of the quadruple
sheets. 1.-The Journalist.

Youth and Health.

Each period of life has its own exposures
and its own morbid tendencies. In the
case of the old, however vigorous the con-
stitution, the physical machinery sooner
or later stops from it's inevitable wear.
1t can no more run forever than q clock
can, though it has within itself wonder
full, yet limited, lower of self repair. Old
age has also tendencies to arterial degen-
Grafton beyond those of any other period
of life.
The exposures of middle life are due
mainly to excesses-in food, pleasure,
care and anxiety, or in work Of brain or
muscle. There ought to be few deaths
within this period.
But youth, including childhood and in.
fancy, has more liabilities than both the
above periods combined. Within it much
more than half the race die. Even In
some communities where the laws OF
health are best understood, one third OF
ell who are born fail to pass their fifth
year. Much of this mortality, however,
is due, not so much to the necessary fatal
ity of childish disorders as to the igno-
rance Of mothers and nurses and to in
herited weakness.
Teething effects O dangerous disturb
ance of the system, especially Of the
stomach, bowels and brain. Extreme
heat, which, to adults, is mainly dis
comfort, renders the child greatly liable
to dysentery and cholera infantum.
Since no safe substitute has yet been
found for the natural milk, and many
mothers either cannot or will not nurse
their children, multitudes of infants lose
their lives from lack of the proper nour-
ishment. ~.
Children have a special susceptibility to
many infectious diseases: measles, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria.
This susceptibility, except in the case of
diphtheria, is largely lost after the age
of IL or Is.
In youth the recuperative tendency is
strong; hence, sinful indulgences seem
harmless; but the harm is merely out of
sight, for it really affects the very center
of lfe-the brain and the nervous system.
The effect of tobacco on the heart is fear
full, and all similar habits arrest growth
and the best development. Such habits
are far more dangerous on youth, in their
physical consequences and effects, than In
mature years, although bad habit tends
to ruin in every period Of ife.-Youth's

air freely, II shuts the property to which It
belonged completely from sight. l asked
the meaning of this extraordinary struc-
ture, and learned that it was put up by q
great nobleman, of whose subterranean
palace and strange seclusion / had before
heard. Common report attributed his
unwillingness to be seen to disfguring
malady with which he was said to be af-
ficted. The story was that he was visible
only to his valet. But a lady of quality,
whom met in this country, told me she
had seen him, and observed nothing to
justify it. These old countries are full Of
romances and legends and diableries of all
sorts, in which truth and lies are so mixed
that one does not know what to believe.
What happens behind the high walls of
the old cities is as much a secret as were
the doings inside the prisons of the inqui-
sition.-Dr. Holmes in The Atlantic.

The Origin of "Dago., d

There is word which may be called
newspaper or reporters italian in vogue
in Chicago. That is s'DaGo." When or
how it originated no Italian knows. 1t is
not an Italian word, cannot be found in
the dictionary, and is not even vulgar
word. 1t is commonly applied to all Ital-
ians, but sometimes more particularly to
saloon keepers or restaurateurs. Italians
Of cultivation, on this ground perhaps,
consider it an insulting epithet, but have
no idea what it means or whence it was
derived. As the word had its origin in
Chicago, and seems to come trippingly
from the tongue, it will undoubtedly
maintain its hold, but any person wishing
to gain favor with an intelligent italian
will refrain from using it. 1t is not even
kindred to such words as Cockney, Yam
kee or Sawney. 1t is an upstart pure
and simple. 1t is Chicagonese. Chicago

Once there came minstrel singing. sy-.
When the skies were fair, -
An about his clear notes flinging
Through the summer air.
Throngs rejoicing gathered around him,
Hailed him as their king;
With his own bright flowers they crowned him
Planted in his spring.
One sweet note, too softly uttered
For the eager crowd,
Family sounding pinions fluttered
Through their shoutings loud.
Straight to me the blithe breeze brought Il
Where stood apart;
And my waiting spirit caught It, ~

Msxico,s Active Volcano,

From Bavispe we had our first sight Of
our objective point, the volcano. A pen
nant Of smoke, trailed by the wind from q
low, square topped peak to the southwest,
defined its location, while dull and NUT
tering roar, almost incessant, told that
the forces of nature were at work. The
volcano lies about twelve miles from the
site of the town, but over such an extra
ordinarily broken tract Of country that
we realized at once that it would require
two days. journey to reach it, and pushed
straight ahead without delay. The phe-
nomena which we had observed at Ba-
yispe increased in volume as we ap-
preached the mountain. We followed 9
dry bed Of q stream which at scr,
gotten period had worn c;;l
through tho granite, 1t was brCi-:.
assures of evident recent origin, ru.l:;-.
from north to south, and in some case
four or five feet broad and of unknown
depth. Springing from one of these,
about four miles out, we encountered @
geyser rivaling any of those in the Ma
tional park. 1t is in the center of cir
cular basin, with sides of sand and mud
and about forty feet In diameter, At in
tervals of fifteen minutes an immense
stream of boiling water leaps out and up
to a height, I should judge, of sixty feet.
The geyser spouts for four or five minutes
and then subsidies as quickly as it came,
disappearing with q mutter that reverr
berates far down into the bowels of the
troubled earth.--Cor. New York Herald,
