There are all kinds Of al dvertislng schemes
at present. but one OF the greatest frauds Is
the man who goes around securing the
cards of business men which he agrees to
put In fancy letters In a gaudy frame and
hang them up where they will remain for
ever. There have been dozen OF men OF
this kind in Lancaster within a year They
have put up these frames all over town and
they have been torn Gown or broken al.
L os. a. son0 rs tho scAemers lett. People
who never think OF using the newspapers
r other legitimate ways for advertising go
into these schemes and in most cases are
robbed. A man with frame and glib
tongue Is now "working" this town.

Enormous Increase In Consumption OF Bee

whisky Failing ON.
Colonel swi,zer, tho chief OF The bureiu |
Of statistics, does not look upon the increase |
In the consumption OF malt liquors In this |
country with so much exultaion as some OF |
the advocates OF that form OF stimulant He |
lays that the assumption that tho beer
drinking nations are moro temperate than
those which consume spirituous liquors IL
erroneous. England is tho greatest beer
drinking country, yet drunkenness is a.
prevalent there rs In almost any country
on the globe.
The consumption OF malt liquors has
progressed with enormous strides In this
country In the past forty years, and the 70.
suits ought 10 go far 10 prove or disproye
the theory that beer drinking countries do
not nourish drupkards. In 1s40 thare
were only 23,000,0 600 gallons Of malt liquors
| consumed here, amounting TO 30 gallons
per capita. The bard liquors drunk the
| same year averaged two and q halt gallons
rer cspits, and the wine q little over
quart
la 1850 tho proportion and tho consump-
tion per capita had net greatly changed, but
| In 1860 the great advance In the consump-
ton Of be'r began. One hundred and one
million gallons wore consumed In the
| United States that year, against about
| ninety million gallons OF hard liquors and
eleven million gallons Of wine. The per
| capita consumption OF malt liquors was
% l00-exsctly equal TO the consumption
Of both hard liquor and winer.
Il In 1870 the consumption Of malt liquor
| had more than doubled In gross amount
and nearly doubled per capita The amount
per capita was 8 81 gallons, while hard
| liquors and wines together only reached
2 4 gallons. The advance has gone on with
D | scoeierstiDg rspdity from year to year ever
| since Wines have attained little, bu'
. | hard liquors have al N ost steadily fallen OH
The figures for the fiscal year 1887 jus'
. | published show that l77iS S54 gallons o
i ! malt liquor were consumed In the United
States 1nrIpg the year, against G12 0BI, IN
. | for the year before. Nearly all ot IL IL pro-
duced In this country, only 300 600 gslloni

Guar ding Diamonds

From the London Figaro.
When the French Crown Jewels
were sold by auction last season, it is
we'll known that the finest and most
historical Of the gems. including the
famous "Regent" diamond, were re-
served, and these may now be seen III
the Louvre in the gallery called after
the well.known statue of Apollo,
which is such prominent object in
it. Before these priceless gems were
exposed, however,a committee OF skill
ed officials and experts was appoint
ed in order to decide on some plan
for rendering their loss by theft virtu-
ally impossible. And this is what
the committee decided upon.
The jewels are exhibited in a show
case. the glass plates of which are ex-
ceptionally thick and the iron frame
work OF which is abnormally strong,
and an attendant has been appoint.
ed to specially keep watch over the
precious exhibit all day long. Should
he have the slightest cause to suspect
any visitor or visitors he has only to
touch q button easily within his
reach, whereupon the glass case
promptly disappears from view and
sinks into a specially constructed
shaft, over the top of which the same
automatic machinery causes thick
covers, formed of thick metal plates,
to close with sharp snap. The in
ge2uity displayed in earring out this
plan is remarkable, and the fact
that the clockwor apparatus has
cost close upon $500 will convey
some idea OF its complicated charac.
ter.

ol,u,plan Sports

Tho number of the different kinds Of
games. including those for boys,
amounted eventually to no less than
ii. At Olympia the foot race or sta
dium-the race in which Cornbus was
the first victor, at the institution of
the Festival by King 1phitus-appears
to have been the earliest, and for
some years to have continued to be
the only contest. From it and from
it's victor was derived the Greek CON-
putation OF time. in quadriennial
periods called Olympiads, and (mar-
velous to say) it continued to form
the basis OF the National Calendar
till AID. 1894, the sixteenth year of
the Roman Emperor Theodosius.
that is Tor nearly 1900 years; and
during all that length OF time not
only were the games regularly kept UP,
but the successful competitor con-
tinued to give his name to the quad
riennial: Moreover, the foot race
supplied to Greece not only the meas.
ure OF time, but the measure Of space.
The course called stadium was equal
to the eighth of mile, and all dist an
ces among the Greeks were measured
by stadIa, as they are now measured
by miles.
But if the foot race at Olympia was
the earliest Of the sports and in one
respect at least was attended with
the greatest fame, there can be little
doubt that the chariot race was, upon
the whole, the most attractive and
the most exciting, and, on some occa.
slons, exciting to a very painful de-
gree. For instance, we learn from the
Fifth Pythian Ode, written in honor
OF the chariot victory of Arcesilaus
King OF Cyrene in Africa, that not
fewer than 40 chariots engaged in the
contest came to grief. 1t appears,
also. from the same and other odes,
that the owner of the equipage, who
was very rarely his own charioteer,
carried off much the greater share if
not the whole OF the glory of success,
though his sole merit consisted, like
the merit of our mobiles and lairds
upon the turf, IN bearing all the ex-
penses connected with the race, in the
encouragement which he gave to the
sport, and in the honor which by his
victory he won for his city or native
land. No builder of g. chariot is men,
toned by Pindar; no jockey; one sue.
cessful horse, and only one named

Fighting it out.

General Custer was as determined in
defending his friends, and on insisting
on their rights, as he was in dealing
with his foes. His wife, in "renting
on the Palms." tells the following
story of an incident which happened
in Ohio, just after the war, when the
general, with his family, was on the
way to Texas:
The train had stopped for dinner,
and every one made a rush for the
dining-hall. No place had been pro-
vided for servants, and General Gus.
ter seated Eliza, the colored maid,
between himself and his wife at the
table. Presently the proprietor ap-
peared, and told the general that no
colored person could be allowed to
occupy such place.

''quietly replied that he had
been obliged TO give the woman that
place, as the house had provided no

trembled, and my fork failed to carry
the food, owing to very wobbly
arm: The general firmly refused. the
staff roCe about US, and all along the
table up sprang men we had suppos-
ed to be citizens, as they were in the
dress of civilians.
"General, stand your groundv
they cried. Well back you. The
woman shall have food.'
THE proprietor shrank back to
his desk, the general and his hungry
staff went on eating as calmly as
ever; Eliza hung her embarrassed
head, and her mistress idly twirled
her useless folk-while the proprietor
made dollar and half, clear gain,
on two women too frightened to
swallow a mouthful.
II spread sandwich for Eliza,
while the general. mindful of the re-.
turning hunger OF the terrified woman,
and perfectly Indifferent as to max
ing himself ridiculous with parcels,
marched by the infuriated but SUBJ
dued bully, with either a whole pie or
some such modest capture in his
hand"

Holding to Old Usages.

1t seems somewhat strange that tho
usages OF asemi-barbarous people, as
the English people were when the com.
mon law was evolved, are all abandon
ed except those that pertain to tine
administration OF justice. An English
paper, in calling attention to the cir
cumstance that judges in that coun.
try still wear wigs in trying cases, says
that it furnishes evidence that there
is less progress III law than in any
pursuit to which men OF intelligence
and learning devote themselves. A
hundred years ago the members of all
professions wore wigs, but they are
never seen now outside court room.
Our Judges do not wear wigs, but they
hold fast to practices that have long
been abandoned in Great Britain.
Trials here are much longer than
there, and many more appeals to
higher courts are taken. English
courts. it is said, are now not only
selt-sust aiming, but sources of revenue,
while the maintenance OF our courts
imposes a heavy burden on the PEG.
