You Eat the Bill of Fare.

The latest thing in hotel bill of
fare is an edible menu card. You
select the dishes you want, and then
while waiting for them you amuse
yourself by leisurely eating up the
bill of fare, it acting as an appetizer.
1t Is the scheme of London con-
tectloner. He makes a thin sheet
OF sweetened dough, and after it
has been baked he prints the menu
upon 1t in ink made of chocolate
1t hasn't got over here yet, but it
will by and bye.

MADE SUDDENLY RICH.

Seeing story about old Stephen
Girard the other day reminded me
of an incident that shows one OF
his peculiarities. Girard had a
drayman who was a decidedly poor
man. One day the drayman, who
was an industrious, bright fellow,
with a good many mouths to fill at
home, was heard to remark that he
wished he was rich. whats that?"
sharply said Girard, who heard the
grumble.
"Oh," said the man, II was only
wishing | was rich" "Well, why
don't you get rich?" said the mill
ionaire. 81 don't know how with
out money" returned the drayman.
"You don't need money" said Cir
ard. "Well, if you will tell me how
to get rich without money l won't
let the grass grow before trying il"
returned the other. "There is 60
ing to be a shipload of confscated
tea sold at auction tomorrow at the
wharf. Go down there and buy in
and then come to me-" The man
laughed. II have no money to buy
the shipload Of tea WITH" he said.
'You don't need any money, l
tell you," snapped the old man.
$50 down and bid on the whole
cargo and then come to me-"
The next day the drayman went
down to the sale. A large crowd
of retailers were present, and the
auctioneer said that those bidding
would have the privilege of taking
one case or the whole shipload and
that the bidding would be on the
pound. He then began the sale.
"A retail grocer started the bidding
and the drayman raised him. On
seeing this the crowd gazed with no
small amount of surprise. When
the case was knocked down to the
drayman- the auctioneer said he
supposed the buyer only desired
the one case. "I'll take the whole
shipload," coolly returned the sue
cessful bidder. The auctioneer was
astonished, but on some one whisp-
ering to him it was Girard's man
who was the speaker, his manner
changed, and he said he supposed
it was all right.
The news soon spread that Girard
was buying tea in large quantities,
and the next day the price rose
several cents. go and sell your
tea," said Girard to the drayman
the next day. The drayman was
shrewd, and he went out and made
with several brokers to
take the stock at shade below the
price, thereby making
quick sale. In few hours he was
worth $4,000.

Telephones ana Ear-Troubles.


 As civilization advances new diseases are not only discovered, but are actually pro- duced by the novel agencies which are brought to bear on mans body and mind. The increase of insanity throughout the world is unquestionably due to the "storm and stress" of our crowded modern life, and almost every addition which science makes to the convenience of the majority seems to bring with it some new form of suffering to the few. Railway travelling has it's amari aliquid in the shape of slight, but possibly not unimportant, jolting of the nervous cen ters; the electric light has already created @ special form of opthalmis; and now we have the telephone indicted as a cause of ear trou- bles, which react on the spirits and indirect ly on the general health. A. Gelle has ob- served, not in women only, but in strong what we may cali "aursl over pressure" caused by the condition of almost constant strain of the auditory apparatus, in which persons who use the telephone much have to spend considerable portion of each work ing day. In some cases also the ear seemed to be irrritated by the constantly recurring sharp tinkle of the bell, or by the nearness of the sounds conveyed through the tube into state of over sensitiveness which made it intolerable of sound, as the eye, when in famed or irritable, becomes unable to bear ! tke light. The patients suffered from ne1- 1 vous excitability, with buzzing noises in the ear, giddiness and neuralgia pains. In addi- in some cases found objective lesions, such as a sub inHammatory condition of the mem- brana tympani. A similar condition of things is often seen in persons who spend 8 large portion of their lives amid the jar and crash of machinery. All the trouble speedi- ly vanishes if the ear is allowed q sufficient measure of physiological rest; this it can only obtain by the cause of the evil being withdrawn. The victims of stelephone tin nitus," if we may so baptize this latest ad- dition to the ills that flesh is heir to, seem all to be of markedly nervous organization, and the moral may be drawn that such persons should not use the telephone.

VALUABLE HORSES.

A ''fast horse" is not generally considered an aid to prosperity, but it sometimes hap pens that the man who owns one or more makes profit. It appears that the Dwyer Brothers, prominent patrons of the turf, have had this season twenty-thrse different runners on the track. They have won a to- tai of $163, 1884, which is ten per cent on an investment of $1 ,635, $40. or an earning of ten per cent. or over $80, ,000 for each run ner. One of their three year olds won $3s,- s60, or ten per cent. on $3s8,600. August Belmont's stable of seventeen runners won $13S, $50 in stakes, or ten per cent. on each animal, supposing their cost to be $81, ,370 generally credited with having experienced what on the turf is called "hard luck" with his horses this past season, has nevertheless won $32, ,652, the bulk of it from three two year olds and two three year olds. Though he had eighteen animals on the track, and most of them, though excellently bred, were disappointing mainly, it would seem, on ac. count of training or handling, the Senator is probably we'll paid for his investments in "horse flesh." Congressman w. L. Scott was more successful, for, with stable com. posed entirely of twelve year olds, he won $103, ,815; one of them, Chaos, winning over half the amount, or $63, ,550 out of three sue cessful runs. His twelve horses, therefore, returned ten per cent. income on over g million of dollars, and chaos on ove, $500, ,O0O.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Some who have studied the matter think that "our forefathers" borrowed Thsnksgiv- ing Day from the Indians. It does not appear that this was necessary, but powerful and in genieus arguments have been made in sup port of the theory. It is certain that there are great many points of resemblance be- tween the great Indian corn feast and the Thanksgiving that was observed in the New England States before 1t beeame.a national holiday. All the tribes observed it, but not necessarily on the same day. The council of each tribe determined the time for the great corn feast and the chief proclaimed it in the presence of all the people. When several tribes united, as they did in forming the Six Nations. they had their feast in common. Sending corn and fruits to less fortunate but friendly tribes, to enable them to keep the feast, was often practiced. Each colony in New England had its own Thanksgiving Day, which was appointed by the governor. The same course was pursued after the old colo. nies became States. It was not till the civil war commenced that the President appointed a day to be observed as a national thanksgiv. ing.
 An interesting thing connected with this matter is the Thanksgiving proclamation re- gently issued by J. B. Mayer, principal chief of the Cherokees. Its opening paragraph is
 As our forefathers, when nsture's children oi the forest in pursuit of game, around the council fire in simplicity did give praise and thanks to the Great Spirit in their yearly mystic "green-eorn dance" for the return oi his great gift to them-the "Indian" corn now to day, as christian nation of people it is but meet that the Cherokee people should give thanks to the christians God fol his continued protection of our tribe in tht enjoyment of their government and homes and that, through the many trials we havt been compelled to pass, he has continued te bless our people.
 But whether Thanksgiving Day is Indiar or Puritan it is e good day. Long may it b. observed.

the State of Alabama. He was addicted to gambling, played for high stskes and fre- quently lost. To pay his losses he took about quarter of million dollars from the State treasury, and, when he could no longer conceal his crime, he went to Mexico, hop ing to find refuge there. But he was caps tured, brought back, tried, convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. That was five years ago. He says in a pe- tition to the legislature that he thinks he has fully expiated his crime by five years' imprisonment, but he will not ask pardon from the governor. He makes this propo- sition to the legislature; that law shall be passed ordering special eleetien to decide whether he shall be released. If majority of the people of the State vote "yes," he thinks their opinion ought to be respected. If they vote s'no," he will serve out the rest of his term without murmur.
