How Women Run a Restaurant,

From the New York Star.
Two ladies entered well-known. restaurant
for ladies in this city few days ago one of them
wishing to entertain the other. Luncheon was
ordered, and the oysters were brought SWIM
ming in dish innocently as if they had
never seen a shell, after the custom adopted by
the house of serving oysters and eggs. The
ladies proceeded to eat what they had ordered.
when the waiter girl bawled
''Sixty cents!'
No attention being paid to this remark she
bawled out again. A second time she was taken
no notice of, so she said:
ut is the rules of the house, ma'am to pay
when you order"
At this by no means gentle hint the lady who
was entertaining the other said:
Il have not finished ordering yet; l shall
want something more"
Its the rules of the house to pay when you
order"
Il don't care anything about the rules of the
house. l will pay when 1 have finished my
luncheon. In the meantime. perhaps, you had
better have guard stationed at the door to see
that do not escape without paying. And you
will oblige me by not bawling out the price of
what have ordered; 1 have invited my friend
to lunch with me, and it does not suit me to
have her informed of just how much she is
costing me-
This startling harangue. and ignoring of the
rules of the establishment, awed and silenced
the waiter girl and collected quite crowd of
waiter girls, who eagerly discussed such I'M
heard-of Independence. The two ladies ate
their luncheon regardless of all comments, and
when they had finished called for the check
No checks are given in the house. so the
amount was stated by the girl, this time in a
low tone. But she was not to be let off easily.
mo check? Then how can know that am
paying the correct sum? You are suspicious of
me, SO why should not be suspicious of you?

And she paid for her luncheon and departed

'How much will you give me on this over

tionary in the pawnbroker's shop.
Fifty cents" was the reply that followed q

''You ought to give me a couple of dollars,
anyhow. The coat amt worth less that S15."

The Birth Rate of Newspapers.

From the New York Sun.
The Paper World discloses the interesting
fact that the news companies receive an aver
age of thirty new periodical publications every
week in the year. They find not more than one
out of the thirty profitable to handle, and not
one in thirty is permanently successful. The
great majority of the new progeny of intellect
and enterprise hardly get their eyes open be-
fore they die. The wonder is what they were
begun for, If so soon they were to be done for.
A birth rate OF thirty a week seems very high.
That is, $50 year, or, looking at it another
way, five for every week day in the year. A
new periodical is born and sent out to the news
companies to nurse every four hours and forty
eight minutes, day or night. How few Of the
interesting little creatures ever cut their eye
teeth!
But the statistics procured by the Paper
World from the news companies by no means
represent the actual rate of increase, since
comparatively few of the new journals started
in the United States find their way to these
agencies of distribution. Notwithstanding the
tremendous mortality among the new born,
and the great number of older newspapers
which drop out of existence every year, the
net annual increase in the periodical publca-
lions of all sorts, daily, weekly, and monthly,
political and commercial, heather and Chris
tan, smart and silly, is from 500 to $500. 1t
varies much in different years. The least pro-
life year since 1880 was 1882, when the net in
crease was 344. The most prolific year was
1884. when the excess of births over deaths
was l.475. Next to that came another presi-
dental year, $780, when the net increase was
1.O20. We take these figures from MIR. Rowelrs
American Newspaper Directory.
In fact, during the past twenty years there
has been only one ,year when there were more
dead ducks than fedglings. The total fell
from s 1929 in 1876 to 1853 in 1877. The truth
is-and we violate no law of professional Sc
crecy-that it is one of the easiest things in the
world to start new newspaper
