"And that reminds me that great many
years ago, / saw old man Giovanni,
who used TO keep Holborn house, in Lon
don, find a roast chicken in a walters
overcoat, which hung on the wall. Roast
chicken is not good without white sauce, ,
said Giovanni, so he sent to the kitchen for
some and completely filed up the pocket
with it; of course it ruined the overcoat,
but don't think that waiter complained
of it.
Here's another thing" continued the
hotel man, (which don't think you ever
heard of, ard yet it's something that costs
the hotels thousands of dollar every year.
It's what they call cozzening, and it has no
reference to the cousins who are supposed
to consume the best joints from the kitchen
and drink the best wine that the butler can
find for them. COZzening consists i'll steal
ing spoons, forks and other portable articles
from the hotels and disposing of them
through the medium of club which meets
in a cellar in New York and in which the
walters are in the habit of assembling to
divide the proceeds of their stealing and dis
cuss new ways of swindling their employers.
A friend of mine visited this club once and
told me it was a scene worthy of Hogarth
or Dickens. All of these scoundrels were
gathered together in convention, and
while he was there-they supposed he was
one of them-cvery known method of
swindling and stealing was openly discussed,
aud he learned also Of new and ingenious
devices which he did not suppose existed
anywhere except in the imagination of some
lurid novelist
And do walters ever become rlch?"
"Do theyl why the man who's been act
ing as Jones head waiter, or head thief, all
summer owns two or three houses in Brook.
Ign, and is going to take a trip abroad this
winter. That's more than Jones can say
for himself" BLAKELY HALL.

amounted to a much larger sum than that
Each waiter had to pay the head waiter IS
| for engaging him and 81 week as
| long as his situation lasted. The head
waiter paid tribute to the steward, as did
| all the other heads of departments in the
kitchen and store room. 80 you see that
Mr.. Jones maintained on his premises an
paid tax of So per week for the privilege
of plundering him. You can bet there
wasn't a waiter in that hotel who did not
get his 81 back, and more, too, by the end
of the week"
'Well, but how do they do it?" asked the
listener.
an every way; by tricks that are in
vented every season ana by Others that are
as old as the eternal hills. For instance. a
waiter gets an order for three portions of
steak He gets two and collects for three,
of course pocketing the difference. Then
he gets an order for two broiled chickens
He orders one in the legitimate way and
steals the other There is a man at the
kitchen door to check all the dishes as they
are carried out When he passes him he
has the chicken inside his vest or in one of
the big pockets which line his jacket. If peo-
pie only knew how many choice articles of
food are brought to the table in the walters
clothes they would not eat them with as
much enjoyment as they do now. Then, in
ordering plain drinks there is a great OPP
portunity for swindling. If a party order
four glasses of whisky the waiter gets three
from the bar and converts them into four,
for which be collects from the customers.
Sometimes the waiter stands in with the
bartender and the two divide the spoils.
Then, if an expensive brand of champagne
is ordered by anyone who is evidently not
connoisseur, the waiter brings in some cheap
American wine concealed in an ice-cooler,
and pours it out with such grand flourish
that the victim never thinks of doubling its
l tell you these fellows will
steal anything, and it would not surprise
me to hear that some ingenious rascal had
invented waiter jacket with an india rub

THE DREAD OF DEATH.
The Closing Scene OF the Human Trag-
edy Not So Horrible After All.


edy Not So Horrible After All.
Juaius Henri Browne, in the Forum.
1t is singular how small is the proportion
of persons who have witnessed the closing
scene of the human tragedy. Even physi-
clans do not see their patients expire so
frequently as would be thought. But what
they see is sufficient to strip death of its con-
sternation. Their presence at the unmask-
ing OF the fancied monster prepares them
for the inevitable. When their time comes
they go at least resigned through the silent
portal. They are no drawer than others,
but they have learned not to be scared at
specters. Very few men, in truth, are
afraid to die when the point comes. They
| do not, as may be supposed, relish it, and
| they are anxious, as rule, to live, so long
! as their chances are good and they do not
| suffer. When suffering grows acute their
desire dwarfs few of us but prefer death
| to pain, and when they lose hope they yield
themselves without murmur.
l have seen, | repeat, an extraordinary
number of persons die, and my observation
and experience contradict the current theo-
| ries and opinions on the subject. At first
l was surprised at the evidence of my own
senses; afterward | was convinced that they
| revealed the actual truth. l remember,
though but small boy at the time the
| first man who passed away before my eyes,
| He was patient, tranquil, philosophic,
while conscious of his doom. 1 had expected
him to be terrified, to perish in agony, and
the circumstance made an indelibIe impress
sion on my budding mind.
have seen the last moments of sdeelicat,
highly nervous women who would Shrek at
the sight of spider and who could not bear
the mention of death Anyone who had
| known them would have thought that their
closing scenes must have been distressing.
They longed to live in the beginning, but
as they ebbed away and were conscious of
the fact, peace and remuneration came to
them. No hero of hundred fights could
have borne lingering illness and its end
more serenely. Women, weak and timid as
| they seem, are Mortified as they often are at
the grim monarch while remote, are calm
| and intrepid when he stands at their side.
AS he advances to seize them they do not
blanche or sigh or complain. l have Won
! dered how persons who appeared to be afraid
of everything would meet their fate, and
yet they have met it with equal mind and
| becoming fortitude.

A sunbeam on our way.

Too pure to live below;
For when the flowers dropped their heads
We saw you, too, must go.

Thy gentle soul has flown"

THE ORACULAR SIR JOHN
PEN PICTURE OF THE POLITICAL
BOSS OF CANADA.

His Majestic Air and Awe-Inspiring
words-How Summer Hotel Men
Are Robbed.
NEW YORK, Oct 6.-There is an anna
bility about the statesmen of Canada which
is not known in other countries. Whether
it comes from the fact that the politicians
here are obliged to be many sided to please
the English, Scotch, Irish and French and
Great Britain, the United States, and a
dozen or two other interested factions, is
not clear. l have recently come in contact
with all the Ministers of State from Sir
John Macdonald down, and with most of
the ex-political leaders. have found them
exceeding amiable after they had recovered
from their first attack of dignity. Once
the Canadian official believes you are sufi-
GENTLY impressed by his Importance, he
drops all his exterior pretense to greatness,
but for the first ten minutes of the inter
view I was almost invariably treated to
Inien of portentous and solemn majesty.
This, however, soon gave way to the ma
tural kindness and courtesy which are
typical of the people.

AN OBJECT OF INTEREST.

The novel display in the window of
E. ]. Swaner & Co. attracted no little
attention yesterday. Swaner says it is
only the forerunner of much that is to
follow, and that he will have some
genuine surprises for Salt Lakers in the
way of Christmas and New Years
presents, which he will offer at prices
heretofore unheard of in this section of
the world. Among the latest, so far re-
ceived, are several elegant onyx top
tables, and they elected no sms'I
amount of admiration yesterday. His
stock will be fuller and more complete
than ever, and he has this season paid
special attention to the precious stones,
of which he has the largest and most
valuable stock in the Territory. So
