are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder, often accompanied by a slight
smarting or burning sensation and a weaken

not account for. On examining the urinary
deposits, ropy sediment will often be found,
and sometimes small particles of albumen
will appear. or the color will be of thin,
whitish hue, again changing to a dark, torpid
appearance. There are many men who die Of
this difficulty, ignorant of the cause, which Is

Keeping seats for regular boarders in ho-

ures attached to q head walters business

happen to get into one of these coveted seats
and the person who claims it as his own comes
in and finds it occupied, there is sure to be
row, aud the poor waiter always gets the
worst of it. 1 don't blame the person for
wanting to occupy the same seat, but there
are times when it is impossible to keep it va
cant. For instance, if a party of six or seven
come in they have to be seated at one table
At this same table there may be, perhaps,
four or five regular boarders' seats, and
when the latter come in / have to put them
somewhere else. Then they get mad, of
course, kick to the proprietor about the
''shiftless and unsystematic manner in which
the dining room is run, and finally the waiter
hears from the Office.
Sometimes, also. a person will slip into the
room unnoticed by the waiter, and win drop
into a seat nearest him. Once seated it is
rather embarrassing to ask him to remove

A census of good society," has just been
made in this city, and it is found that Of the
population of nearly two millions-countng
in the metropolis and its suburbs-only 700
are qualified to rank with the best. In re-
public where the notion is outrageousiy &C.
neral that behavior is the true test 10 worth,
ness, it requires an authoritative edict once
in while to squelch the leveling tendency.
The Patriarchs have done the job this time.
They are an organization of intensely swell
gentlemen who give annual balls at Delmo-
nicos, and they put what they regard as their
minds to the drawing of the line distinctly
between society and common people. The
Patriarchs next ball is to occur this month.
Ward McAllister, an old beau of unquestioned
standing, is the high mogul Every autumn
he maks out careful list of ninety nine other
real gentlemen, making 100 III all They con-
sttute the Patriarchs.
They are assessed $50 apiece for a fund
with which to pay the balls costs of music
and supper Upon them is placed the awful
responsibility of issuing invitations, for the
documents are substantially credentials of
the highest possible character, proving that
the holder is ''in society," Each one in the
100 names seven persons. The number is
based on careful and critical estimate that
there are no more than 700 men and women
in all New York quite worthy of the glorious
distinction, The separate lists of seven are
sent to McAlister, who calls secret meet
ing of the entire 100 to whom the names are
read, and Il single vote against a candidate is
sufficient for exclusion, all of which is funny
to the reader, but very momentous to the
small cOterie of persons concerned. When
Mrs. William Aston gave notable ball two
years ago she extended her invitations to 500,
and was by her friends considered liberal,
considering how sacred are the precincts OF
"society." Thus you will see that SO far as
New York is concerned there may be an
upper 10000" but towering altitudinously
above them are less than 900 positive super

Surprised Subordinate.
When Grant was appointed brigadier gem

Col. OgleSby was acting in that capacity.
The latter had received notice of appoint
ment from the war department and was adj
vised that the new general was on his way
south.
A day or so after, the colonel was seated
at his desk, busily writing In the room

subdued tones The chief of staff entered
and announced the arrival of Grant The

sauntered in, remarkable for nothing unless
it was for IA generous quantity of dust on his
clothes, stubby, reddish beard, keen gray
eye and a half consumed cigar clenched be-
tween his teeth.
Taking a survey of the apartment and its
occupants, he approached the colonel and
said in quiet voice:
"Will you let me have sheet of paper!n
"Help yourself, my man." responded the
colonel in surprised and somewhat indig-
Htiut Joue, us his pen scratched on unllter-
ruptedly, you'll find one over there on the
far side of the table"
The stranger seated himself unlimited and
drawing the paper toward him wrote a few
words, knocked the ash from his cigar and
coolly passed the scrawl over to the colonel
The surprise and indignation on Oglesby's
face deepened, but finally gave way to aston
ishment when he had mastered the words
They proved to be an order relieving him

Chi,iau Beasts of Burden,

The Chilians and the Auricanian Indians
have an animal which they call the chill
hueque, which is supposed to be the alpaca
Of Peru modified by the climate, and which
they formerly used as beast of burden, but
the use Of which has, in great measure
been superseded by the introduction of mules
OF the several varieties of native sheep the
largest and strongest is the llama. 1t was
especially esteemed by the native inhab-
itants as beast of burden. It's load is about
100 pounds, although for short distances it is
able to carry considerably more. Its height
is from four to five feet, and the length of its
body is about the same. 1t has no horns or
hump and its hoofs are cloven. Its body is
shaped like that of the deer, with clean, sen-
der legs, its cloven hoofs ending in talons or
claws, like those of bird of prey. Under
its breast there is hard substance about six
inches long and three inches wide on which
it sleeps or rests Consul Bakers Report.

years working his land and doing odd

The talk of Il new telegraph line between
New York and San Francisco has aroused
the old timers here to lively "reminiscences Of
the building Of the first line across the plains
One pole, 100 miles west of Laramie, was set
up four times and each time hacked down
by Indian tomahawks Each time there was
a bloody skirmish with the redskins for tenn
porary possession of the stump. At last the
pole was given to a young man who is now
high up in the management Of Western
Union. He laid a mine in the hole, set up
the new pole, trailed the fuse to an ambush
Of rocks close by and waited with two armed
friends Then band Of eight Sioux came
along and held war dance around the pole
When the mine was fired all but three were
killed and those three carried off Mimic balls
with them The powder blew up the pole
again, but it cleaned the hole out nicely for
a new one, which was thereafter let alone.
This story was told with great eclat at Del
monico's, and was the signal for more bottles
and more litories-New York Sun.
