The Most remarkable Thing ever
Known.

Among all the patent devices and drinks
ever set before the public, none have been so
popular as the Moxie. Indeed, SO large was

all over the country to nullify its trademark,
that all might have the right TO use it; but it
all ended in favor of the dscoverer. DR..

New Work for Young Women.

The very latest occupation for young
women who have been delicately reared,
but who are compelled by changes in the
mill wheel of life to earn livelihood, is
to clean bric-a-brac in the great mansions
of New York. They are called bric-a-
brac cleaners, and have brushes made
expressly for their duties. Not every
young woman can become expert at the
business. 1t requires delicate touch,
the greatest care in handling the treas
ures, and tho knowledge how tastefully
to arrange the dainty ornaments in way
that is most pleasing to the owners. The
work is refined, and just such % re-

A PLAY in Prison.

"Of all the experiences / ever had"
remarked Annie Russell, 1.-THE most
singular was when was child playing
in a juvenile .Pinaforp' company. We
were to give n performance on Christmas
day in Auburn penitentiaIy before the
convicts. l shall never forget the feel
ing that came over me as l passed
through those frowning gates. We
dressed behind screens on an improvised
stage, and while we were SO occupied we
heard tho wardens speaking to and ar
ranging the prisoners. 1 had never be-
fore heard human beings spoken to SO
roughly. When I came out upon the
stage and saw that sea of faces, many Of
the most repulsive type, and knew that
nearly every crime had its representative
there, could scarcely go on. At first
.heir laughter was terrifying. 1t was
so coarse it seemed bestial rather than
human. But little by little the charm of
the music and the sight of the fresh
young faces softencd them. They quieted
down, till from their behavior ore could
scarcely have told them from an ordinary
audience. And at hast saw many weep
ing and some sobbing almost convul
sively. It was wonderful experience,
and do not regret having known it, but
do not think anything could tempt me

''Coat finishing is done under contract.
1t is perhaps fair to the larger well estab-
Eshed houses to believe that thov do not
know the conditions under which it is
done nor the prices paid. The contractor
is indeed employed to spare them thought
and annoyance in the matter. Here is a
specimen case--seventeen men and wo-
men are huddled in a small room There
IS roaring fire for the irons. The room
reeks with heat and the steaming Odors

Teak Wood becoming fashionable.

The teak wood is much admired and
fast becoming fashionable, but it cannot
be made common, as it is both expensive
and difficult TO obtain. Il comes from
India, or rather gees from India to
Japan and China, where it is carved.
The wood is light in color. but it is some
times stained or dyed, and it is this kind
that we generally see in this country.
The open worked patterns are particu-
larly effective as doors and decorative
mantels. There are only two direct i'm
porters of it in New York, although it is
to be had at many furniture dealers, who
receive it through the French markets in
small quantities. 1t may be interesting
to know that q small pedestal costs $65

Chinese Gamblers Superstitions.

Chinese gamblers are more supersti-
tious than the mass Of their countrymen.
All colors, save white, are carefully
avoided by the owners in tho walls and
decorations of their gambling rooms.
White, the color of mourning and of the
robes worn by the spirits of the dead,
always considered inauspicious, is as
ISOLATED with the idea of losing money,
and is believed to bring bad fortune to
their patrons, with corresponding gains
20 themselves. Even the Inscriptions to
the tutelary gods are always written upon
white paper, and white candles are
burned before his shrine instead of the
rcd ones ordinarily used. Gamblers on
their way to play fan tan will turn back
if any one jostles them or they happen to
come in contact with any obstruction. If
q players hand encounters snother's as
he lays his stake on the table he will not
put his money on the number toward
which he was reaching.
Gamblers refrain from reading books
before playing, and books are not re-
garded with favor in gambling houses
from the word "she" (book) sounding
like ''she" Ito lose money!. All inau-
spiciols words are avoided. Thus the
almanac, ''Hung She" is always called
"Gut sing" through unwillingness to
utter tho ominous ''she." This book is
of daily use among gamblers, for in its
calendar of lucky and unlucky days there
is special mention of the days favorable
for playing and, besides, it always con-
tains dream book, and they attach
much Importance to the Interpretation Of
deams.-New York Times.
