Stars for the Restaurants.

The popularity of daiTies down town is
increasing every day, and the gay and fes-
tive patrons of these lunch rooms remain
blissfully ignorant of the inside workings Of
these institutions. The walters are usually
young women, and these pretty daiTymaids
have an easy time of it after all. As a rule
they command good salaries In dairy a
maids face is her fortune, and the attend
ants are divided into three classes "Stars"
are the very pretty girls, seconds" the pass
ably pretty ones, and thirds the maidens
whom nature has endowed with sweet tenn
pers but homely faces. The proprietor of a
prosperous down town restaurant of the
dairy type, during a confidential chat with
reporter the other day, made known some
inside facts about his business Of which the
public has for years remained in ignorance.
at is very difficult to secure the services
of very pretty young ladies" said he, land,
of course, they command good salaries.
Every dairy has two or three stars that are
handsome attendants and they rarely work
more than three hours a day. AS for salary,
they command about $l5 q week, and have
known duirynl9n to pay as high as sos to
star dairymaid These fortunate beings
commence their duties about II o'clock in
the morning and finish as sson as the rush is
over, about 2:30 or o'clock. You go into a
dairy late in the afternoon and you won't
see any of the very pretty girls, but at
lunch time they are always on hand. Ordi-
narily dairymaids get from S. 10 - a

Fraud in the Mummy.

If you don't want to be swindled in num-
mics, choose only the dried up, "ornery"
on0s. There is said to be great deal of
fraud in the mummy business in Egypt. The
dealers are aware that purchasers will pay a
higher price for well preserved mummies.
and as no genuine munmies are well pre-
served they contract with tramps, beggars
etc, for their bodies when defunct. The
money paid to the mummies that are to be,
of course, is spent in dissipation, which
hastens their death. Then the dealers pickle
and smoke their bodies until they are what
an ideal mummy should be- And the first
rich "ChristIan dog" who comes along sees
them and pays big price for one of them,
with an elaborate pedigree running back to
the days of SesosUris thrown in.-New YorI:

In an English Court.

In an English court recently Mr.. Justice
Hawkins said: This is an exceedingly
trumpery case; not that that is distinctive
description, because most of the cases that
come here are trumpery. The lawyers be-
gan to endeavor to eXounrato their client.
My client, my lord, was most anxious to
avoid these proceedings. We have simply
been dragged here by my friend" Con the
contrary, my lord" said the other lawyer,
we have been literally goLded into htiga.

oh, yes, replied the judge, II quite under
stand. The plaintiff has been driven to
bring this action by the exasperating resist
ance of the defendant to his unjust claim. =

The Daily Eight.
FRIDAY. AUGUST, II. 1888.
IN CASE OF CHOLERA.
What Should BE Done When tho Earliest
symptom Appears.


When a community is threatened with
cholera, every woman in it should be thor
.oughly informed on the subject, and know
exactly what should be done when the earliest
symptom appears. At such a time any ten
dency toward diarrh9a should be carefully
watched; if it develops the patient must at
once go to bed, with hot bottles at the feet, If
they are cold, and be kept warm.
Half a teaSpoonful of Jamaica ginger may
be given in hot water and repeated in a
short time. a teaspoonful Of paregoric, for a
grown person, or thirty drops of aromatic
spirits of ammonia. If there is much pain or
vomiting begins, put mustard plaster over
the stomach, and if the body feels Geld wrap
it in flannel, and give mustard foot bath.
Sulphuric acid is thought to be very useful
In this stage; little can be obtained from a
druggist and kept in the house. 1t should be
the concentrated sulphuric acid, put up in
strength of half a drachm to the ounce.
When it is used put two tablespoonfuls OF
this solution into pint and half of thin
arrowroot, and give tie sufferer three table
spoonfuls every hour until relieved.
In the second or rice water stage, so called
from all the discharges resembling rice water
in appearance, there is constant vomiting
and exceeding weakness. Medicine is re-
tanned with great difficulty, and the only
way to administer it with any hope of its
being kept down is to drop it into teaspoon
full of Clipped ice and give little at time.
The ice can be easily broken from lump
with the point Of strong pin.
When ice bags are ordered, the best way
to break the ice for them is to wrap large
piece in a stout cloth and pound it with Il
heavy hammer. Ice should be given fro
quently, to assist in checking the vomiting
ard to relieve the intense thirst. Brandy
can be dropped upon it when it is ordered.
The limbs are sometimes rubbed with al
cohol and red pepper, and large p.aSters OF
mustard, or red pepper, put on the back and
over the stomach. If of mustard, they must
be watched that they do not blister.
When the disease passes into the third
stage, that of collapse, the victim seldom
lives; vet cases have been known to recover,
and the efforts to promote reaction, by
strong stimulants, heat and friction, should
be continued while life lasts.
Cholera is believed by many eminent au-
thorities not to be personally contagious,
that is. it cannot be communicated from one
person to another by touch. No one whose
mind is distracted by fear Of infection can
take proper care of q very sick patient. The
nurse must do ali in her power to protect her,
self by attending to two simple precautions,
and then try to forget Trained
Nurse" in Youths Companion.

Flowers in the Sandwich Islands.

The Sandwich Islands may well be termed
the land of flowers. The natives and all
other residents use flowers profusely in dec
Grating themselves. 1t is a common specta-
Gle to see barefooted Kanaka with an old
straw hat literally buried in wreaths of rare
flowers, and lines of the same hanging about
her neck. When steamer sails the band
plays merrily upon the dock, and crowds of
natives, with garlands of flowers and native
maille wreaths, wave adieus Departing
friends are always profusely decorated with
flowers and wreaths. Kanakas are almost
amphibous. The bay is dotted with colored
lads ready to dive for coin like fish. The
holoxu-or Mother Hubhard-is the universal
dress for women on the islands. The women
have fine figures and are generally bare
footed. The men are generally fine specimens
of mankind. They are not large, but are
well formed and exceedingly muscular
