Selling tho Queen a Tombstone.

Mr.. Andrews came pretty neal selling
the queen a sample Of his marble-that
would have been a great thing for him.
He was telling me oil about it the other
day.

he, "got me a card to the queens draw
ing room in May, and I went to it at

full crush, but l contrived to get pretty
near the head of the procession by tip

I had always admired and sympathized
with her-that I particularly revered
her for her devotion to the memory of
the departed. Ny words seemed to touch
her deeply. She answered that it was
her determination to keep that memory
forever green. In that case,' said 1, let

Eating Human Flesh.

The most repulsive food which human
beings could eat is man. Fortunately
c%annibalism, although once very gen
eral, is now mainly confined to the most
degraded tribes of the South Sea Islands,
and to some districts of Australia and
central Africa. Lindsay, of Pitscottie,
relates that n man, his wife and family
were burned to death on the east coast
of Scotland for eating children whom
they had stolen, and during the French
revolution the heart of the unfortunate
Princess Lambelle was actually torn out
of her body by one of the yelling saw
ages near, taken to a restaurant and
there cooked and eaten.
Human flesh is said not to be unpala-
table, and this is confirmed by the horri-
BILE narrative given by Lindsay. He men,
tons that as one Of the girls was being
taken to execution she exclaimed:
Wherefore chide ye with me, as if !
had committed an unworthy act2 Giveme
credence, and trow me, if ye had expert
ence of eating men and women's flesh We
would never forebare it again" The
Fannese Of our own day distribute hui
man flesh in little bits to their friends as
delicious morsels, and say that the flesh
of a black man is preferable to that of a
white one, for the latter tastes salt;
other cannibals hold the same.-Scottish
Review.

"A Fortune from Beans and Beef.

Oliver Hitchcock, the Park row beans
aud beef man, has made more money
from the sale of the two articles of diet
mentioned than any mar in the world.
His fortune is estimated to be $3.50, 900.
He is said to own considerable stock in
the New York Central railroad and to
have a large sum invested in bonds and
mortgages. He is a remarkably sturdy
man for his age-he being IA years old.
Every day finds him behind his counter,
at tho corner of Beekman street, slicing
the juicy cornbcef or ladling out the
Boston vegetable. He works only four
hours Il day now.
Mr.. Hitchcock began selling beef and
beans forty years ago, and he has been
at it continuously ever since. Some of
the most famous newspaper men of New
York city have dined at his humble res
taurant. Horace Greeley was one Of
Hitchcock's regular customers. Hitch
cock cannot remember why he made a
speciality of beef and beans. but he has
tangible evidence that if these articles
are properly cooked and decently served
they will bring a handsome remunera-
tion.-New York Journal.

A Beggar's Excuse.

Some of the beggars who infest Park
row are very bright, indeed. By con-
slant practice they become admirable
judges of character from facial express
sion. The ones who are most successful
are those who come out frankly and own
what they want money for. A very
common device is to ask for q cent with
which to got yer the bridge. Tho other
day a we'll dressed man was approached
by a sorrowful looking man at the bridge
entrance, who whined in a crying tone:
"say, mister, will you please give me a
cent? want to get across the BRIDGE"
The man addressed showed his hand
into his pocket and drew out a ticket for
the bridge promenade. The tramplook
ed at it with a disappointed expression
and then exclaimed:
"That amt no good to me, sir; 1 want
to get over the bridge in a hurry on the
cars. My grandmother's dying New

About Dog Bites.

1t is safe to say. said q New York
physician, that one cannot give what
n does not have to give. The same is
true of a dog. II he has not hydro
phobia he cannot communicate it. So
there is no reasonable cause for the
fright displayed by some persons if they
but get their skins broken by a dog
whose health is perfect. Men who are
in the habit of handling dogs think moth
ing of their bites. Dog fanciers and dog
trainers are frequently bitten, and think
nothing of it.
The men who handle fighting dogs pay
scarcely any attention to dog bites I'M
less they are severe, and then apply Or
binary remedies. I myself have been
several times bitten-not by mad dogs
of course-and have suffered little or no
discomfort. There are many things
worse than the bite of a healthy dog. l
will take it any time in preference to a
bad burn OF a cut with a rusty nail. A
little common sense ought to be used in
this as in other matters.-New York
Mail and Express.

As to Value Received.

The Idea used to be prevalent among a
certain class of business men that spend
ing money for advertising amounted, in
effect, to throwing 1t away. There is lit
tie question that there is more or less
ground for this belief in isolated cases,
where the advertiser does not take the
proper means for securing solid returns
for his'announcements. The results Sc
cured in advertising depend very largely
upon the sagacity and enterprise display
ed by the merchant in selecting his me.
dunn and preparing his announcements.
A long and undressing "ad," devoid
of leading features or attractive ar
rangement, cannot be expected to pro-
duce satisfactory results. An advertise
ment appearing In a paper in the month
Of Nay, calling attention, with much de-
tail, to n new stock Of ,cinter goods, does
not impress the reader in a way calcu-
lated to bring results to the advertiser;
or, If the results come, they are not apt
to be Of the kind desired.
Merchants should change their an.
nouncements frequently, and each nd.
vertisement should tell something in a
brief and pointed way. And, above all
things, 1t pays, in advertising, to tell the
simple, unvarnished truth. Facts tell,
and pay.

Unexpected Generosity.

A woman entered a drug store not far
from Beacon street the other evening,
and said that she wished to purchase a
toothbrush. The proprietor laid out a
number of these articles upon the
counter for her inspection, and turned
away to attend to the wants of another
customer. In a short time the female
approached him and said in the sweetest
Of tones:
81 have tried them all, and think that
like this n the best, so will take it,"
The astonished proprietor took one
look at her, gave N moment to silent
reflection and meditation, then said:
MADAM, you may have them all for
the price of this one. will make you a
present of them"
The woman no doubt is yet wondering
ut the cause of his unexpected generosity.

In the cus1,np.s Fire Room.

Very few of those who watched the
torpedo boat Cushing as she took her
spins around the harbor, or as she ap-
peared in her cradle in the dry dock, re-
allied how trying is service on board the
little vessel, even in time of peace.
When the Gushing is under way the
temperature In the little engine room
gets up to anywhere from 1870 to $50
degs., and in the narrow quarters where
in the twenty-three officers and men are
slowed the Thermometer for hours at a
time will register 100. But such things
must be when you put 1900 horse power
machinery into a boat of only ninety
tons displacement and the safety valves
are set to blow off at $50. The fire room
of the Gushing when she is making her
highest speed, 31.4 miles an hour, must
give the unfortunate men in 1t a vivid

"Where is Gold street,"
"Silver street is u good deal nearer"

But the young man had no interest in

asked why he inquired for Gold street
he assumed a mysterious air and do

where the street was. and he went away

"Now, there's an instance of what

millionaire Lellmsn's Luxurious Apart.
ments in DloominGdale Asylum.
Descending to the first floor the locked
doors on the right of tho parlor open
upon the private suite of apartments
occupied by the insane Chicago million
aire E. j. Lehman. Mr.. Lehman was
and is still the proprietor of the biggest
retail dry goods store in Chicago,
Nh. Lehman is suffering from IL form
Of parcsis, and although he is but 40
years old there is not the slightest hope
of his recovery. He lives like a king in
his apartments, and his family pay for
the Injuries with royal liberality.
He has three apartments, which occu-
by all the right side of the house on the
lower floor. For these rooms and board
alone he pays $3.50 a week. Then he has
three special attendants who keep with
him night and day. These cost $42 a
week additional.
He keeps his horses and carriages and
rides out nee q day. One of the attend
ants does the driving, while the other
two sit on either side of him. For the
many other luxuries he enjoys Mr.. Lel-
man pays out in all $400 a week. He
pays moro than any other inmate of the
asylum.
While Mt times he is quiet and pleas
ant Mr.. Lehman is one of the widest
men in the asylum when an insane fit
strikes him. It is because of this that
it is necessary to keep three attendants
watching him. He has smashed thou
sands of dollars worth Of furniture since
his incarceration. He is q tall, athletic
ally built man, and is possessed of enor-
nous strength when he becomes wild.
Although his three attendants are all
trained athletes they have great difficulty
in holding him at times.
While he sleeps in one of tho small
rooms an attendant sits at his bedside
and watches all night, while the other
two sleep in the large room a few feet
distant.
In addition to the usual iron gratings
Oh the windows several strong bars have
been placed. Several times a week the
Chicago millionaire tries to break out of
the rooms. He has almost wrenched the
iron gratings from their places, and on
occasion almost succeeded in climb
ing up the wall to tho glass transom
above the top of the door and breaking
through. To guard against u repetition
of this the glass has been removed and
wooden boards have been nailed in its
place.
About once a month MI. Lehman's
wife comes on from Chicago to see her
husband. Sometimes she brings one Of
her four children with her. She is not
permitted to speak to him or allow him
to see her.
While she stands in one part of the
grounds he is driven past her in his car
riage, and in this way she is enabled to
catch a brief glimpse Of his face.
In his rational moments Mr.. Lehman
talks to his attendants about his wife
and children. He says that he has the
sweetest family in the world and that
they all love him.
In his parlor Mr.. Lehman has n hand
so,nely carved organ. He is very fond
of music and is a musician of no insig-
%niticant skill. He plays upon tho organ
at times half the day and completely en-
chants the other inmates of tho house.
