New Rnsiness for Girls.

A reporter clambercd up two dark flights
of stairs, at 147 Mulberry. street one day last
week in answer to the following advertise.
mcnt:
ga few girls that understand cracking and
picking different kinds Of nuts. 147 Null
berry street, second floor"
A knock at q rough pine wood door was
answered by q picturesque looking Italian
girl. "The signor is not in" she said before
the reporter could ask her any questions.
The room in which she was standing was
occupied by number Of long benches,
at which sat half dozen girls of differ
eat ages, with sharp pointed knives i'll their
hands. All were busily engaged in pick
ing the kernels from pile of pecan nuts.
a strong Italian man stood at queer looking
machine, inEvhch there was brass plato
containing holes similar to those in Calling
gun Into these he kept throwing the pecan
nuts Us it revolved at great speed. The nuts
were cracked in c twin!lling and dropped
into box below. Presently tho proprietor
came in.
"This is new business for this section OF
the country" he said, "but down south,
where came from, it is carried on quite ex-
tensively. We sell tho kernels to confcction-
ers Pecan nuts arc being used more than
any others now. We have hitherto exper-
fenced great difficulty in getting girls to
work for us, as they do not seem to under
stand what we want. We pay them eight
cents pound, and with little practice they
can MAKE good wages. New York Sun.

Another Alpine Tunnel.

The construction of another Alpine tunnel
through the Silnplon, rs rival of the sue
cessful st. Gothard, has for some time been
talked about in Paris. 1t is estimated that
the Simplon tunnel would shorten tho time
between Paris and central and southern Italy
by three hours, as compared with ths>SSt.
Gothard line, and the gain over the Mont
Gents route would be still greater. Accord
ing to the representations the length Of the
contemplated tunnel would be about twelve
miles, and the whole work. could be accom-
plishcd in from four to six years; it would
be tho longest tunnel in the world, and re-
quire extraordinary provisions for its suit
able ventilation, though this object could be
attained, it is believed, by means of hori-
zontal air shaft above the crown of the tun-
mel and running its entire length, connecting
by series of vertical shafts with the atmos-
phere above the mountain. Pumping en-
gines would not only keep the air constantly
renewed, but would draw Off the water
which otherwise would steadily accumulate
in the tunnel Tho cost of this work is esti-
mated at about SIG, 100000.

Dricsbach. the Lion Tanner.

Circus goers of twenty-five years ago will
remember Herr Driesbach, the celebrated
lion tanner, but probably have never in their
minds connected him with O romance; and
yet he not only had a veritablc romance in
his life, but one that blossomcd out Of dish
of onions; and it was through the medium Of
that most pleheian vegetables that he Won
his lovely wife. Persons who knew Mrs.
Driesbach before her marriage recall her as
the belle of Wooster, O., of which place her
father was q wealthy resident. Accom-
plished as she was, beautiful, witty, and full
of pranks, to meet her was never to forget
her. Happening to be placed with a party
of young people at hotel table where Dries
bach was sitting, some one dared her to pass
him dish of onions. Immediately Selling
tho dish, she not only passed it, but inquired
if he would have all oulol. He said he
would, and took one, and from SO small be-
ginning sprang an acquaintance that in three
months ended in marriage. 1t was singu-
lar match, and people long wondered whether
tho dauntless lion tanner would have equal
success in tanning his wife.-Exchange

Secret Cure for Rabies.

Dog bitten men, women and children to
the number of 500 havo been treated for by
drophobia by the Reeve family, of Blooming
dale, in New Jersey Over forty years ago
David II. Reeve said he Ind obtained q secret
cure for hydrophobia. People were slow to
place much credit in bis statement until his
own son was bitten, and the father trusted to
his new remedy to cure him. The number
Of his patients increased and his fomo
spread abroad. Over 500 patients have
been cured. He has had the secret for six
years. Tho medicine given is kind of yel-
low powder, and Reeve STIMULATES that for q
period of three weeks no grease, pepper or
salt shall be eaten, nothing cold drank, and
tho patients diet shall be limited to butter
milk, cruel, bread and molasses, with drink
Of warm, weak tea; all liquors to DO avoided.

An Interesting Club Story.

There is very good club story going the
rounds just now. 1t appears that there are
two members of Boobies whose titles are
very much alike, one being on carl and the
other viscount by courtesy. Now it hap
pened that the peer before going on sport
ing expedition into q far country arranged
that all kilograms addressed to him at the
club should be cabled on. The other evening
the viscount entertained q small party Of
friends at dinner at the club, when it was
proposed that the evening should be l.ished
up at the theatre, so telegram inauiring il
q box could be had was sent to tho Gaicty.
Through some mistake, the reply message
was addressed to the earl, and in due course
it was repeated OH TO him. He happened to
be shooting in the ':Rockies" at the time, and
the telegram had to be conveyed to him by
relays of messengers on horseback. Much
excitement was caused by its arrival, and
who knew but that it might contain COM
runication from tho prime ministcrl But it
only conveyed the information that q box
at tho Gaiety had been reserved for per-
Torrance three days before The message
cost about e30.-London Table.

Remarkable Generosity Toward q Poor

Two richly dressed women boarded g
Fourth avenue car the other evening Just ut

the other middle aged. They paid their fare
out of we'll filled purses. At Fourteenth
street another woman entered. Sho was
pinched, worn and pale. and her dress was
shabby and faded. She carried large bun
die of laundry and baby, while little girl,
scarcely able to toddle, chung to- her dress.
She sank into her scat with sigh Of relief
aud put the bundle down on the floor at her
feet, then shifted tho sleeping infant to her
other shoulder and helped the toddlcr up on
the seat beside her. Every movement be-
tolencd WEAKNESS, and her wan face told
plainly Of suffering and sorrow When the
conductor approached for her fare the poor
woman began nervous search for her
money She felt down in the pocket of her
worn gown, and as she CROPPED within its re-
cesses o look of CONSERVATION crossed her
face Presently sho looked up in Che conduc-

conductor hesitated for a moment, then hard

Can't pay you when come back? shall

down at her bundle rs if that would confirm
her statement. But the conductor was proof
against the appeal, though to his credit be it
said, he was not harsh. NO, thut's against
the rules You'll have to get of" he re-
piled, rs he reached up for tho bell cord.
The other two women had watched tho
scene with apparent interest, and at this
juncture the younger one sprang from her
seat toward the conductor and uttered an
inperious "No." Before any ono could divine
Der intention she had opened her purse and
emptied its contents into the poor womanis

Intelligence of Ponies.

Will some naturalist explain why ponies,
as rule, ore more intelligent than big
horscsl They are; and the fact receives new
proof from Roclland, Ne. a citizen there
who owns horse and pony heard that if
he put good sized stones in their feed boxes
they would be obliged to eat slower, and
would therefore digest their food better. He
tried the plan and it worked we'll with the
horse; but the pony picked the stones out one
by one and dropped then on tho floor, and
he did this just as often as they were put in
the box.-Ncw York Sun.
