New Business for Girls

A reporter clambered up two dark fights
Of stairs, at 14T Mulberry street one day last
week in answer 20 the following advertise
ment:
"a few girls that understand cracking and
picking different kinds of nuts, l47 Null
berry street, second hoorn
A knock at a rough pine wood door was
answered by a 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 a number of long benches,
at which sat half a dozen girls of differ
ent ages, with sharp pointed knives in their
hands. All were busily engaged in pick
ing the kernels from a pile of pecan nuts.
A strong Italian man stood at a queer looking
machine, in which there was a brass plate
containing holes similar to those in Gatling
gun. Into these he kept throwing the pecan
nuts as it revolved at great speed The nuts
were cracked in twinkling and dropped
into box below. Presently the proprietor
came in.
''This is a 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 the kernels to confection-
ers. Pecan nuts are 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.

An Interesting club storr.

There is a 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 an earl and the
other a viscount by courtesy. Now it hap
pened that the peer before going on sport
ing expedition into far country arranged
that all kilograms addressed to him at the
club should be cabled OIL The other evening
the viscount entertained a small party Of
friends at dinner at the club, when it was
proposed that the evening should be finished
up at the theatre, so a telegram inquiring if
a box corld be had was sent to the Gaiety.
Through some mistake, the reply message
was addressed to the earl, and in due course
it was repeated on 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 a com
munication from the prime ministerq But it
only conveyed the information that box
at the Gaiety had been reserved for a per-
formance three days before The message
cost about 930.--London Table

Hun Of a Fast Vessel.

After many years Of experimenting, with
the object Of increasing the speed of vessels
and lessening their draft by change in the
formation of the hull, a Pennsylvania in
ventor has succeeded in constructing a boat
which he claims fulills the desiderata so
long sought and is in entire accordance with
true scientific theory. This boat, which is
some thirty-six feet long, is of the shape
known as the concave bottom, the hull being
built in a right and left hand spiral form
from the bow to the middle section. The
conformation Of the hull in this case is such
as to displace water in a manner closely
approximating to the wave line theory, be-
ginning at the cut water, the displacement
being accomplished gradually until the
center Of the boat is reached, when the re-
verse action Of displacement begins; the con
cave begins where the convex ends. The
greater the speed the greater the lifting
power, the boat rising ON the water, and con
sequently moving with greater speed with
out any increase Of power.-Ch Chicago News.

talked about in Paris. It is estimated that
the Simplon tunnel would shorten the time
between Paris and central and southern Italy
by three hours, as compared with the st.
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-
phshed in from four to six years; it would
be the 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 a hori-
zoiital air shaft above the crown of the tnn-
mel and running its entire length, connecting
by series Of vertical shafts with the atnos-
pherc above tie mountain. Pumping en-
gines would not only keep the air constantly
rerewed, but would draw off the water
which otherwise would steadily accumulate
in the tunnel The cost Of this work is esti-
mated at about S16.OO0,OOO

Turtles on Lower cnlifornia.

The coasts of lower California abound with
huge turtles, which weigh from 500 to 400
pounds each. Down at Punta Banda, where
a company is building big hotel, one Of the
worSmen. who is an expert swimmer and
who spends much time in the water, has be-
come sldllful in riding the big animals. A
traveller says that when the man sees one
that is big enough to ride, he rushes into the
water and mounts it. he has way Of slap
ping the turtles on the side of the head that
makes them jog along, and, by striking
them, he also guides them. He rode a big
fellow near the shore the other day as the
stage drove up the coast road, and the oc-
cupants Of the stage were so pleased with the
exhibition that they made up purse of $50
for the rider-New York Sun.

Etching or Stained Ivorv,

Entirely new this season is etching on
stained ivory. Exceedingly artistic effects
are gained in ivory articles, decorated with
silver trimmings, etched in a design that is
continued from she silver on to the ivory.
Hunting scenes appear TO be favorites,
especially in the etched decorations; just as
articles pertaining TO sports are favorite
models for small articles like glove and shoe
buttonors and the handles of paper knives.
A set Of silver buttoners is made this season
Stimulating in every detail the whips used in
the hunt. It is thought these toy affairs will
prove exceedingly popular among ladies who
affect the chase and other outdoor sports
jewelers. Circular.

Thought Il Va a ahost.

Tworesidents of Chapman Quarries, North
ampton county, Pa, who were returning to
their homes late at night, were very badly
frightened at what they supposed was a
ghost. They saw a white object in a corner
ON a lonesome road, ran to the hotel, a dis
tance Of 100 yards, burst IN the door, cried
for help, frightened the inmates, and were
nearly scared to death. The burgess was
hustled out of bed, and accompanied the
young men to the spot where the alleged
ghost was seen, but the specter had disap-
peared. The object was young lady dressed
in white, who had been to an evening party.
She saw the young men coming, and stepped
into the corner to let them pass on.
