PENNY COFFEE STANDS.
A Splendid Effort to Relieve the Wants of
tha Very Poor.

A Splendid Effort to Relieve the Wants of
the Very Poor.
An intelligent and well-directed ef
fort is being made in Brooklyn to r.
lieve the wants of the very poor. Coffee
stands have been started in different
parts of the city, where half-pint OF
coffee with milk and sugar and slice
of bread can be bought for cent. The
coffee is of the best quality, as are also
the sugar and milk, and the bread is
prepared especially for the purpose.
Four of these stands have been estab-
lished and have been in operation since
October 1, 1887.
The experiment is under the charge
Of an association of women, one o.
whom studied the cheap coffee system
in London, before starting the enter
prise in Brooklyn. Thus far the nun

has been about 1921 month. The sales

the food supplies and leave a small SUI
plus which is applied towards the pa
ment of the rent. In addition to thli
also, is the cost for service, which hs
averaged about $50 week at the fo'
stands TIE deficit OF $116 mo-
for the whole enterprise has been m
by voluntary contributions OF those i
terested in the experiment.

THE BULL MOOSE.
How the Hunter Lures tho Noble Game to
Death in Maine Forests.

How the Hunter Lures tho Noble Game to
Death in Maine Forests.
The time to call the bull moose is
from the middle of September to the
middle OF October and sometimes later.
It is the habit of the female at that
time of the year to seek open spaces on
the hills at shutdown and give voice to
a mellow but far-sounding cry. This
is the signal to the male, and the call
is not often repeated before some
shambling bull is heard crashing
through the brush, his long split hoofs
rafting at every step, on its way to
the redezvous. This peculiar cry the
hunters have learned to initiate
with greater or less degree of exact
ness, and made it an agent for Turing
their game into ambush. The call is
made by means of a horn rolled out OF
birch bark, to mouth which perfec city
requires long and constant practice.
The hunter, when an adept at sound
ing the moose love-song, simply hides
himself at favorable spot in the will
derness, with his gun in readiness and
blows his norm. AS he u0ttiS UHe Dul1
approaching. generally pausing in the
brush at intervals to listen for the call
and get his bearings, the caller needs
all his nerve and an unfailing lip. The
call must be tempered to the approach
! of the bull, and one false note is never
lost on that wary lovers true
and cultivated ear. No cow
moose ever slurred note or
sung too fat or too sharp floating
her amatory invitation to her mate on
the crisp air of an autumn evening,
and the slightest variation either way
in the sound will send the expectant
brute flying like the wind away from
the treacherous trysting- place-disap-
pointed, perhaps. but not as much so as
the hunter whose false lip lost him his
coveted prize.
The female moose rarely calls after
dark, the exceptional instances being
on light moonlight nights. COnse-
quently hunters seldom try to lure a
bull by calling after night has come
on. If bull can be induced to ans
wer moonlight call, however, the ex-
element of the sport is increased.
There is something decidedly weird
and uncanny in the sound of the start
ling call echoing among the hills. their
tops flooded in light and their sides
and bases wrapped in impenetrable
shadow, and the answering below of
the bull as it comes out from the very
depths of the shadow. AS the huge
animal approaches from the wilder
ness. and finally energies into the
moonlit open, the nerves even of the
most experienced hunter are strung at
the severest tension, while to the nov
ice the suspense is simply agony.-M

EUROPE OUTCOME.
n Gotham Restaurant Superior to Any
Thing Existing in Paris

Thing Existing in Paris
Thelades part of the new downtown
restaurant is the most bewilderingly
elegant public eating place that New
York has ever had. The pale blue,
white and gold decorations are a deli
cate and becoming background for
most styles of feminine beauty, and as
the glare of daylight can not penetrate
the room, the contiruou; mirrors aided
by the electric lights re lect woman's
best capabilities i the way of fine-tex-
tured luminousness. At the bottom Of
the little stairway that leads to the
cafe stands a six-foot Englishman.
clothed in gorgeous livery, whose dut.
it is to indicate by stately wave of the
hand the direction that customer
needs to take to reach the elysium OF
gourmands at the top. Half way up
the stairs small boy in silver buttons
is encountered. This one collects UNI
brellas and sticks, giving large nickel
checks for them. Another example Of
this boy opens the door upon the daz-
zling dining-room, and the guests are
then taken in hand by splendid per-
sonage who asserts certain proprie-
tary authority and locates people where
he wishes, though his manner of per-
forming the service CONVEYS the i'm
preston that he has had nothing to do
with the selection of places. About
the dainty hall are clusters of walters
in plumb-colored swallow-tail coats,
studded with silver buttons, and wear
ing waist-coats of striped yellow
and black. They are punctilious and
proud fellows, but their attendance is
soothing and satisfactory. Perhaps the
most luxurious feature of the place is
the pres ence of several lady's maids in
spotless linen caps and aprons, who de-
scend noiselessly upon the guests and
assist in the removal of outer wraps.
On recent cold day, young woman
in sealskin Jacket entered the place
without an escort. When she had
reached her seat she found herself con-
fronted by one of the spotless maids,
and she evidently did not quite COM
prehend the mission of the latter. She
stared at her and asked what she
wanted. The maid had her eve on the
sealskin jacket. and expressed herself
as being DESTROYS of taking it away
and putting it in the ice-chest Or some
other safe place. But the young wo-
man appeared to feel that in such
wealthy vicinity simple sealskin
jacket would not be considered worth
taking any especial care of, so she an
nounced her intention Of remaining
within it. The maid withdrew to
where her companions were engaged
in a chat, and shook her head to eX-
press her despair at not being allowed
to exercise her functions The young
woman in the sealskin ordered pistache
ice-cream and a cup of tea, but the
plum-colored man at her elbow had
bad influence over her appetite, for
she only got short distance on the
cream and half way through her tea
when she called for her check and left
the place as though subdued and rout-
ed by a superabundance of grandeur

Cremate Your Love Letters.

lovers letters are usually treasured
up as something too precious and sa-
cred to cast into the fire. But into the
fire they ought to go, every one OF them.
They are proverbially sweet, sickening
sweet, and silly to every body but the
twain interested. They have no earthly
value for Others And when true love
does not run smooth, as SO often hap
pens, and the letters are read in the
divorce court, or as the foundation for
damages for wasted affections, in what
depths of mortified vanity, impotent
rage and helpless ridicule are poor low
ers plunged. When the adored ons
writes to his angel, if she be gifted with
mortal prudence, and if she really and
truly love her Charles she will destroy
his letter after reading it twice and
kissing it three times. So also will
Charles treat The missive of Angelina
if he be worldly-wise. But lovers sell
dom or never are worldly-wise, and be-
hold how the world is continually laugh
inc at their unburned folly. -Ph1tadet-

Words Without Rhyme.

There are some words to which there seems to be no rhyming words. As an illustration, see If our readers can find a word to rhyme with the comparatively easy one, ''silver." It has long been supposed that there is no rhyme to "month." A good authority says there is rhyme to it--not 'onety- onth," or any lisping versions of such words as "once," "dunce," etc., but legitimate word in everyday use. Let us see who can guess it. The word "orange' is also mentioned as going begging for rhymes, while the dabbler in amatory verse has ever felt the necessity for more words rhyming to '1ovc."
 The genial author of the popular "Pinafore, who has been aptly men, toned as tho "master of verbal contor- tion," has felt tho restriction of these limitations, and furnishes some facts from his own experience. Revenge" and "avenge' have no rhym but "Pengc' and "stonehenge;" tcoif' has no rhyme at all. ''Starve' has no rhyme except "carve." "Scarf' has no rhyme, as "laugh" and ''half" and "calf' certainly are not admissible. ''Scalp'' has no rhyme but 'alp." .'False" has no rhyme; "valse" is near it but the French accent disqualifcs it. "Waltz' is near it but tho ''t'' spells it. sBabe" has no rhyme but "astrolabe," certain proper names excepted. "Gamboge' has no rhyme but "rouge." "Tube" would be rhymeless save for the "cube'' and ''jujubc." 'Fugue" has no rhyme at all. "Guli" rhymes with no English word. We have to fall back on "Cardinal Pandulph" and "Ulf," the minstrel. ''Azlmuth' has only ''doth." "Culm" and "cusp" have no English rhymes. - Commercial Adver- tiser.

Saved by Swift Running.

At Inkermann, one of the most stub- bornly fought battles of the Crimean war, young officer, who had learned at Eton not much from books but good deal from its sports, was surrounded and made prisoner. While going to the rear in charge of two stalwart Russians, he looked at their long coats and said to himself: s'They can't run." Watching his opportunity, he knocked one soldier head over heels, threw tho other, by a wrestler's trick, into the mud, and took to his heels. Before his guardians were on their legs and could fire, he had got over a good piece of ground. A Russian lancer made at him; he ran as if leading an Eton foot-race, and cleared a good-sized fence. The lancer cleared it after him, and with lance fixed pressed the fugitive hard. A swollen brook, running fiercely, barred his way. It was seventeen feet wide, but the old Etonian had won the "long jump' when at school, having cleared nineteen feet over Chalvey ditch. He now jumped the brook; the lancer refused to follow. and the young officer ran back into the English lines.

The Moon a Scayenger.

It is chiefly as the producer of our ocean tides, says H. Parkes in "Un- finished Worlds" that the moon renders such signal service. The sun, it is true, as we'll as the moon, exercises an in- fucnco in the production of this diurnal phenomenon; but it is on the moon chiefly that we depend for this im- portant recurrence. By inland dwellers the tides are thought of as monotonous events of no great moment; but they have far wider significance than many imagine. Exactly as the sun preserves, through the agency of winds, healthy circulation in the atmosphere, so the moon performs similar service to the waters of the sea, and the great tidal rivers which flow into it. But for this work as mighty scavenger our shores where rivers terminate would become stagnant deltas of corruption. Twice a day, however, the decomposing matter which our rivers deposit is swept away by the tidal wave, and source of pesti- lence is thus prevented.

 A Box on the Ear Lands a Trout.

Trout Creek is quite paradise for anglers. The fish are large, and become quite plentiful when the waters of Lake Ainslie are sufficiently warm to cause them to seek cooler retreat in the flow ing stream. One half of the stories which are told of tho catches at this place would fill volumes, but none of these has yet reached the sublime height of what is claimed for small lake near Guysboro. The narrator's hero is him. self. He says that one winter, being tired of salt beef and wanting trout for change, he cut hole in tho ice on the lake. He had evidently selected @ good day, for the fish took his bait so rapidly that it was downright hard work to keep pulling them out. So eager were they, indeed, that they would jump for the bait before it had even touched the water. Our sportsman was an inventive genius and decided to profit by this phenome- nal appetite. Getting down on. his knees, he dangled the bait about a foot above the hole and awaited further de- velopments. Almost immediately a fne trout jumped for it, and promptly re- ceivcd a dexterous box on the ears which landed him far out on the ice. So numerous and so hungry wcro the fish that tho anglers hand was kept constantly busy skipping them as they jumped for the alluring bit of red pork which lowered over the opening in the ice. Every slap yielded fish. This continued until sheer fatigue put an end to the novel pastime. A conservative estimate placed the quantity of fish at somewhat over four barrels. American Mao ozine

How Gladstone Eats.

It is reported that Mir. Gladstone ascribes his splendid health and lon gevity, to having early learned one sim pie physiological lesson, viz, to make twenty five bites at every bit of meat Although the twenty-five bites might not make any impression on the meat, in some cases the interesting process of counting in every mouthful must be a species of rumination very divcrting to the mind, and congenial to the statisti- cal bent of the great treasury minister. For the purpose of mastication, how ever, shaving the meat off thin across the fibre with a sharp knife would be more effective and moro favorable to sociability at meals. Most people cut it ia chunks, and so swallow it, after a treatment that is merely lubricative, like that of a serpent.
