Two policemen rang a bell at No. 81
Twenty-third street yesterday, says the
Chicago Times. A colored man opened
the door.
Sis your name Philip asked one of
the officers.
"Y-y-yes, sah,' responded the negro,
with startling eyes.
''Then we want yOu," said the officer.

"W-w-what's dat?" asked the negro.
Dead body ON de roof? No, sab; no,
sab. Cross my hart! / don't know
muffin bout any dead body"
''Well, Well see about it. Take us
up," and they pushed the negro ahead
of them through the house and to
the roof. When the tarred roof was
gained the policemen found a skull
and few disjointed bones by the side
of the chimney. "How did these come
here? What do you know about this?"
they questioned OF the negro as he stood
with chattering teeth at the top of the
stairs.
"Fo' de Lawd, offisah! don't know
ting bout it," said Phil. just then
the skull slipped from the officers hand
and fell at the negro's feet Phil, with a
yell of terror, started down the stairs,

actors, actresses, prize-fghters, clergy

The first signature which appears in
the book is that of Jacob Schaefer, the
champion billiardist, now resident of
st. Louis. 1t bears date Feb. 20, 1880,
and is written in an irregular, stray
Cling hand. The lines are all rather
light, there being no shading at all in
the letters, and the signature is charac-
teristic of man not accustomed to

The Saloons Arrogance.

The time has come when just and whole
some law will be permitted to remain as q
DEAD letter; but the time is fast approaching
when the insolence and lawlesSaess of the sa-
Icon will be effectually suppressed: 4 senti-
ment in that direction is rapidly developing,
and nothing has done more to quicken it than
the saloon itself. Its disregard for law, its
arrogance, its lobbying in legislative halls,
and debating to convention and caucuses,
have lone more than all else to create a SEN
timent against it that will control it or sup
press it altogether. 1t should consider that
it has no claim on the public at all. 1t is no
part of legitinla ate industry; it has no part in
commercial prosperity. 1t exists in opposi
ton to all principles of industry and com-
mercial interests. The people have the high
est right recognizable to suppress it entirely
the right of self protection. For the saloon
to talk about rights is foolish. 1t has none.
1t Only exists by sufference. and there is
nothing on which it can base a claim for pro
lection. 1t is an industry that weakens every
thing it touches. one that adds nothing to in
dividual or national prosperity. but is a
heavy burden to both. The revenue it yields
is too insignificant, compared to the tax it
makes necessary, to speak If Chicago Cur
rent.

The Saloon.

The saloon has few friends-nonet to be
proud Of. There is nobody, whose presence
is not q menace to the community, who
swould not like to see the saloon so, and go to
stay. 1t has been a law breaker. 1t has been
a place that has thrivcd either on the wicked
ness or vice of humanity. 1t has not given
value received. 1t has been the rendezvous
of the criminal, the friend of no one but the
poor-house and the prison. If all this was
not enough to condemn it and to secure SEN
tence of punishment, then let it he remem-
bered that the saloon has not the decency of
conscious indecency. 1t thrust itself forward,
and, a law breaker itself, sought to dictate
legislation. The foe of good government, it
brought its stencil and its i'll gotten pelf into
politics, and actually commanded all parties
to do obeisance to it. 1t forced the issue. In
it's foolhardiness it left the choice between
its supremacy and extinction. If it had pos
sessed the mo,lesty even of half common
sense, it might have fingered i'll Iowa for
some years yet. it was as lmpudent as vile,
and now it has gotten it in the neck. and
good enough for it. Even its victims are
glad to hear the door of the saloon go shut
with a vigorous bang. Those, too, who
served it in fear. laugh at his calamity. The
friends of the saloon-who are they anyhow.

Drink Legislation in Austria.

The Austrian Government have, it is stated,
introduced INTO the EeiChsrath a strong
measure for the prevention of drunkenness.
The reason alleged is the alarming deteriora-
ton in the physique of young men enrolled for
military service owing 10 the spread OF
spirit drink among the humble classes. 1t
will toe interesting to see if the provisions Of
this measure are accepted. They would be
difficult to carry IN this country. where free

five on Saturday afternoon. and to remain so
till five on Monday morning. Ordinary
storekeerrs are not to be allowed to sell

The Matter Of Names and Titles.

The latest fad is for the woman to re-
tain her family name after marriage in
stead of taking that of her husband.
Every woman has a perfect right to do
this if she wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of the
man she marrics. The style has been
started anew by some of the stronger
minded Englishwomcn. This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
Anglo Americans. In England, how
ever, it is necessary for the women to adj
vertise the fact that she is going to re-
tain her maiden name. In this country
a man may take his wife's name instead
of her taking his, but it would probably
be better to have the change. legaliZed
by a court or Legislature in order to
prevent any trouble in relation to prop
ertv or inheritances.
Wouldn't it be better to call men and
women by their proper m The
Quakers do SO, and there is nothing
offensive nor suggestive of undue fami-
~liarity about it. They do so from prin-
ciple rather than to be odd. They say:
call no man MASTER" Mister is but
another term for master, and was origi-
nally used by common people when adj
dressing their superiors. or those whom
they served. AS a people we are OPP
posed to titles suggestive of socia! rank.
Our form Mrs is merely a form of the
English term Mistress, which was and is
now an undesirable title when used in
certain connections. Usage has changed
this somewhat, yet it is an unnecessary
prefix to the name of a lady.-PittsJurQ

Floating Festive Oysters.

Connecticut oysters, when brought
from their beds, in the salt waters OF
Long Island Sound, are seldom sent TO
market before they have been subject to
more or less manipulation. AS 0 as
possible after being gathered they are
deposited in shallow tide rivers, where
the water is more or less bracklsh, and
are left there from one to four days-the
time varying according TO the tempera-
ture of the season, the sadness of the
oysters and the freshening quality Of the
water. Generally two tides are sufficient
for the two good drinks" which oyster
men say they should always have. This
''hoating," as it is called, results IN
cleansing out and freshening the oysters
and increasing their bulk, or, as some
oystermen confidently assert, fattening
them. If the weather is warm they will
take drink Immediately if not disturbed,
but if the weather is cold they will wait
sometimes ten or twelve hours before
opening their valves.
food fat oysters generally yield five
quarts of solid meat to the bushcl, but
after floating two tides or more they Will
yield six quarts to the bnshel. After
they have been properly tfoated they are
taken from the she'll, and as soon as the
liquor is strained off they are washed in
cold water. and are then packed for mar
kct. In warm weather they are put into
the water with ice, and are also packed
with ice for shipping. Water increases
their bulk with absorption, and by mix
ing with the liquor on the surface of the
oysters. The more salty the oys-
ter the more water it absorbs. sin
twelve hours one gallon of oysters. with
their luices strained out, will take in a
| pint of water, but when very salt and
drv they have been known to absorb a
pint in three hours.
Water always thickens the natural
Juices that adhere to the surface of the
oysters and makes them Shiny. If too
much water is added the oyster losses it's
plumpness and tirmness and becomes
watery and tiabby. Oysters that have
been iloated bear transportation in the
shell much better than when shipped
directly from their beds. oysters, too,
that are taken from their shells and
packed IN all their native juices spoil
much sooner than when their Juices are
strained out and the meats washed in
fresh, cold water.
Long clans are not f1Oated, but round
CLANS are. But both when shucked are
washed in fresh water. This c~leanses
them Of mud, sand and excess of salt,
increases their bulk and improves their
flavor. After washing they will keep
much longer without risk of spelling. II
the salt is left in them as they come from
their native beds heir liquor will fer
ment and they will quickly spoil.
