A ShreMd Advertiser.

Two men met on a down town corner.
One asked the other to accompany him
to lunch. The invitation was cordially
accepted. They started along the street,
arm In arm, and finally the host led the
way into restaurant. Now the friend
knew that the host was himself the pro-
prietor Of big restaurant, and he won
dered why he had not taken him there
for lunch. When they were seated at a
table and had given the waiter their or
ders he asked the reason for this move.
"I'n tell you," said the restaurant pro-
prietor, as he removed pickle from his
rivals crock&y. "You see, over at our
place we make our own butter. The
process is very expensive and the but
ter costs us great deal of money-so
much that when go into the place /

Ghosts In the AIaintop.

The scene Of ghostly experience has
been shifted to the sea. An English
newspaper says the mate of ship, name
not given, ordered some CT the youths to
reef the maintopsail. When the first got
up he heard strange voice saying, SIT
blows hardI" The lad waited for no
more; he was down in trice and told
his adventure. A second Immediately
assembled, laughing at the folly Of his
companion, but returned even more
quickly, declaring that he was quite sure
that voice, not Of this world, had cried
in his ear, ''It blows hard!" Another
went, and another, but each came back
with the same tale.
At length the mate having sent up the
whole watch, ran up the shrouds HIM
self, and when he reached the haunted
spot heard the dreadful words distinctly
uttered in his ear:
"It blows hard"
cay, ay, old one, but blow it ever so
hard, we must ease the earrings for all
that" replied the mate undauntedly,
and looking around he saw fine parrot
perched on one of the clews--the
thoughtless author of the false alarms
which had probably escaped from some
other vessel TO take refuge on this.
Another of our officers mentioned that
on one of his voyages he remembered a
boy having been sent up to clear rope
which had got foul above the mizzentop.
Presently, however, he came back trem-
bling and almost tumbling to the bot
tom, declaring that he had seen ''Old
Davy'' aft the crosstrees. The mate, in
rage, at length mounted himself,
when resolutely, as in the former case,
searching for the bugbear, he soon ascer-
tanned the innocent cause of so much
terror to be large horned owl, SO lodged
as to be out of sight to those who as
cended on the other side of the vessel,
but which, when any one approached
the crosstrees, popped up its portentous
visage to see what was coming. New

HOW VANILLA GROWS.
Two Methods of Preparing the Pods for
for Market-The Plant.

Two Methods of Preparing the Pods for
for Market-The Plant.
Vanilla belongs to the orchid family
and is sarnentose plant furnished with
thick, oblong, glaucous green leaves.
The vine sometimes attains o height of
forty-five feet. 1t begins to bear the
third year after planting and continues
bearing thirty years Each vine annu-
ally produces from forty to fifty-five
capsules or seed pods, which are gath.
cred before reaching complete maturity
between April and June.
For one method Of preparation they
are gathered after they have lost their
green tint, and are then exposed to the
sun in wooden sheets which have pre-
viously been thoroughly heated. They
are then put into boxes covered with a
cloth, and are again heated in the sun,
twelve or fifteen hours, after which they
should assume coffee color. If this Is
not obtained they must be covered and
again exposed, the whole process lasting
about two months, after which they are
packed securely, fifty each, in tin boxes.
By the second method about a thou
sand pods are tied together and plunged
into boiling water to bleach them, after
which they are exposed to the sun, and
then coated with oil or wrapped in oiled
cotton to prevent them from bursting
During the drying process the pods ex-
ude sticky liquid, which is expedited
by gentle pressure two or three times a
day. By this process the pod loses about
quarter OF its original size. The best
quality pods are seven to nine inches
in length, and large in proportion, and
possess in greater abundance the char
acteristic and agreeable perfume which
gives vanilla its value
The vine is sometimes covered with a
silvery effiorescence producing an essen
tial salt similar to that found in the pod,
and this is diffused on the outside of the
capsule. 1t is called vanilla rime, and is
in great demand in the Bordeaux market.
Vanilla is used in perfumery and in
favoring confectionery and cordials. It
is supposed to possess powers similar to
valerian, while it is much more grateful.
Its production in Reunion has increased
in the past forty years from a few
pounds to nearly half million, and that
colony is now the principal rival and
competitor of Mexico. The total import
into France rose from about 100000
pounds in 1880 to about 100000 in 1886,
but the annual import fuctuates con-
siderably.-London Times.

Writing Roman Numerals.

Everybody who has been to school
knows 'the Roman numerals, and they
are always used on clocks and watches.
What everybody don't know, however,
is that the representations of the fourth
figure on the dial Of timepiece are
never made as they should be, according
to the arithmetics, for instead of being
~ it is invariably written iii. Just
why this is done has never been reason
ably explained. Some watchmakers say
it is to avoid mixing up " with V and
VI, and that is really the only reason
that I have ever heard. But nobody
seems to know, without looking at q
timepiece, how it is written, and l have
never yet met any one who did not,
when asked, write it " instead of iii,
and I never yet saw a timepiece on the
dial of which o'clock was written ".

AboIishing a Nuisance,

The railroads of Germany are under
the control of the government, and it
seems that the practice of giving and
accepting gratuities has led to SO many
abuses that it has been determined to
put stop to 1t. The royal railway adj
ministration has accordingly notified all
employees that they will not be allowed
to accept the smallest gratuity or favor
of any description upon penalty of sum-
mary dismissal. Prosecution is also
threatened against those who may offer
gratuities to railway employees. A long
suffering travelling public will rise up
and call the government blessed for this
putting an end to one of the most un-
pleasant features of continental travel.
The example would seem good one to
follow elsewhere. San Francisco Chron-
icie
