A WONDERFUL SPRING.

-Ttz SFsto- Cures the -St7--t- Caso s-F-Aieo-
 holism in Three Days.
 Cured of intemperance in three days!
 How many people know that the State of Georgia owns natural inebriate asylum?
 And, nevertheless, such is the fact.
 ''It is the most wonderful spring in the United States" said Special Officer Frederick, of the Atlanta police force.
 ''To what spring do you refer?"
 ''Indian spring. I have taken three men to that spring who were so far gone on the liquor habit that it looked as if itwas impossible for them to quit, and every one of them was cured immediate ly. One of then had been practically drunk for four months. I took along @ supply of whisky, as people said it would kill him to quit off too sudden ly."
 Did he taper off?"
 'He took one drink after he got to Indian spring and after that declined to touch a drop. He said he did not want it at all. He remained there three days and you never saw such transforma- tion. He was as sober as a judge, his face was cleared of it's bloat and the red liquor look, and he was himself again. Since that time he has been at work steadily and has not touched a drop. That was six months ago, long enough to effectually settle the matter"
 ''Does it prove equally eficacious on others?'
 ''I have tried three cases and with the same happy results in every case. believe that that little spring, which does not hold over gallon of water, is one of the most valuable in this coun- try, and worth all the hospitals in the land for the cure of inebriates."
 "Why don't somebody ship the water?"
 ''In the first place, the spring belongs to the State of Georgia, and is just as the Indians left it long ago. The State government has never permitted any body to lease it or to attempt to enlarge the flow. The water is free for any body. In the second place, there is a volatile gas in the water that escapes after few hours, rendering it flat and robbing the water of it's extraor- dinary qualities. For these reasons no attempt has ever been made to ex- port it, and people are compelled to go to the spot to enjoy it's benefits. It is a wonderful spring in many other re- spects, but it is the king of all liquOr- habit cures that ever l have seen."- Atlanta Constitution.

FREE-LUNCH FACTORIES.
Establishments Which Prepare Edibles fo
 Saloons on a Large Scale.


 There are ''free-lunch factories" in the town. In the establishments known by that name food is prepared for the many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of liquo stores whose owners set out, on table or counters opposite their bars, more O. less tempting arrays of ed1bles. The professional temperance rators, who miss no weak spot in the armor of those whom they consider the arch foes of so- ciety, have always asserted that nothing is offered at these free refreshmen5 counters except such food asis so salt or so dry as to send the victimized paTtici- pant in the feast back to the bar for more drink. Some basis for the assertion is seen in the omnipresenb smoked mackerel, smoked herring, cheese, crackers and smoked beef that the pub icans offer, get it may be that drinking begeJs a taste for such pecrliar prov ender. Time was when the saloon keepers bought and prepared all the ma terial for their lunch-counters, but to- day regular business is done by many large dealers in these supplies. They chop the herrings by machinery, cut up the cheese and the bread upon delivery, vary the assortment of viands they bring according as the contract with each saloon-keeper, warrants and have entire and absolute charge of that branch of the business of a great majority of the public-houses, of which, by the way, New York City boasts about ten thousand. Atleast one dealer in table fare in the city has de- veloped very queer business. He buys whatever food is left over from the prin- cipal hotels. It is not fare which any one could object to his selling, or which those who patronize him need to be ashamed of purchasing. It is what is left of the joints of meat after the best cuts have all been taken, what is left of the pastry of the day at the close there of, the cooked vegetables which will not keep another day, and so on. When this mans wagons roll up to his basement door, in the heart of a thickly settled neighborhood, his house is besieged by women and children carrying baskets. His tables and counters are quickly bur dened with dishes and plates and boards, upon which this cooked food is heaped, and he and his assistants apportion the commodities according as they are paid. Fifty cents buys large basketful with something from each dish in the portion For quarter of dollar there is less in quantity and variety to be had. Those who only offer ten cents get only meat and bread. Alas! he says that though for fifty cents whole families get plen- tiful supply, there are also households that are obliged to subsist upon what half that sum entities them to.-Har- per's Weekly.

FEASTING IN SARDINIA.
Some Curious Features of Life in an Ital-
 for

Some Curious Features of Life in an Ital-
 ian Province.
 [ If religious festivals make people re- Hgious, the Sardes are among the most religious of nations. Seldom did we en- ter town or village without finding the place either in the midst of fiesta, anticipating coming fiesta or discussing the fiesta just ended.
 Scattered over the island are multi tude of small chapels, dedicated to ob- scure saints, and to which the villagers for miles round flock with provisions and bedding once or twice year. They camp out in the open or sleep in adja- cent caYes:- -nriest- says mass in their midst, and they all eat and drink as if they had never before had good meal. or as if the rest of their lives was to be one of long fast.
 A disagreeable litter of OK bones, ribs of sheep, orange-peel, bean skins and stones of olives, strewn amid the grass near the hermitage, or on the level earth at the very churcl door, bears constant witness to the traveller of this sort of re- ligious junketing up and down the land. The following statistics of food con- sumed at a traditional gathering, mere ly to celebrate the ordination of priest in the district of Mamojada, shadows forth the magnitude of the Sarde festas in general.
 Two thousand five hundred people were present, and between them they ate 22 COWS, 26 calves, 2s deer and wild boars, TAO sheep, 300 lambs, kidlings and sucking pigs, 500 fowls, 65 .measures-of what size indeterminate-of sugar, 50 pounds of pepper and spices, 2SO meas ures of corn, hundredweight of rice, hundredweight of dates, 50 sugared cakes, 5000 eggs, 25 large barrels of wine, 5000 fish and vast quantity of confectionery.-Chambers' Journal.

libraries for War Vessels.

The purchase of libraries for ten new ships of the navy has been ordered for the use of the enlisted men on board. About three hundred volumes in all will be placed on each ship. About eight years ago the usual naval ships library consisted of Bible, prayer-book, an almanac, a dictionary and one or two works on navigation-not more than half dozen. But since Acting Rear Admiral Walker has been at the head of the Bureau of Navigation, he has taken pains to have suitable additions made to these, until now ships library contains from one thousand to fifteen hundred valuable volumes. The new libraries are for the most part composed of the best grade of novels-Scott, Thackeray, Dickens and others-and various miscellaneous works, and are intended for the entertainment of the men in the forecastle when off duty Demorest's Monthly.

Novelties for Evening Wear.

The newest novelty for evening wear is the sequin net. The Eastern coin is initiated by bone counter, and these are strung together with silk on a piece of net twenty-seven inches wide. Then it is arranged on the front of skirt to form petticoat. Of course gold-colored sequins are the most popular, but they are made in all shades. When the wear CT moves there is a great rustling and rattling. But then rustling and rattling are not objected to. A sequin fringe is used for ornamenting the bodice. And it would seem that we are coming back again to the old-fashioned silk fringe. But only the best people have taken it up, and they are having silk fringe ex- pressly dyed for trimming their different gowns. It is altogether too feeble for the illiterate to notice. Another new dress trimming is worked out in delicate floral designs with material that looks like mosaic.-Pall Mall Gazette.

TOOLS FOR BURGLARS.
What Professionals Use and How al
 Where They Get Their Outfits.

What Professionals Use and How and
 Where They Get Their Outfits.
 ''How do burglars get their tools?" was asked a popular local detective. "Why, every man of any account in that line has what he calls his man. who is a practical mechanic and makes every thing in the shape of jimmies, punches, etc., that the burglar uses in his profess sional duties. A safe- blowers outfit consists of many different tools, some of them being of special design for some particular class of work of which the owner is the originator Scarcely any two peter men work exactly alike, and a few of the clever ones invent instru- ments or machines to do certain part of their work. The principal part of a kit is the drills or bits. To be of any service these have to be tempered by secret process until they become so hard that no metal made will resist them. l remember when a notorious crook Spike Hennessy, one of the two burg lars who are now cracking a safe in a melodrana called The Stowaway,' was arrested several years ago for turning a trick in box work in New York. In his room the officer found one of the finest kits of burglars tools that was ever brought into police headquarters. Talk about ingenuity-if that man had ap- piled but one-third of the intelligence tc legitimate. business that he had spent in devising tools for burglarizing safe he would have been millionaire to-day.
 ''In the collection were drills and bits of every imaginable size, lagso his own design, ratchet screws of the finest dia- mond steel, machines for drilling and forcing without noise, extension drills and points runners, plugs and taps, and a number of 'tongs,' 'tasters' and double enders. It was daisy outfit, and many of the tools were marked with tasty monogram. The whole collection is, l believe, or was until recently, in police headquarters in New York. - Chicago Journal

ARGENTINE DoMESTIcS.
They Are as Unmanageable as Those o1 the United States.

Servants are as manageable in Buenos Ayres as they are every where else, and in many respects more trying. General house workers are unknown. For the smallest family one needs a cook, a housemaid and, instead of a maid-of-all-work, boy of any age from ten years, and l have seen even younger on duty in native households Besides these no washing can be done at home. There was, am told, at one time even law against the drying of clothes in ones own patio or on the roof. At any rate a laundress is an almost impossible person to get and clothes are given out to the lavandaras, who support them selves by the pursuit of that profession alone. They wash in the river, which is very wide, and very shallow on it's southern shore, and rising only when gales are blowing from the sea leaves on it's retiring great pools of water in the hollows of the beach. These pools are the wash-tubs for the whole city and fiat stones are used as boards, the clothes being rubbed between two such; so it is not to be wondered at that all kinds of wash goods want frequent re- placing. The same women who wash do not iron. They are themselves en- ployed by the person engaged by ones self, who usually is the ironer and who receives the pay for the whole. I found this arrangement very unsatisfactory, for there was no one person who seemed to be responsible for the return of the things and for the manner in which they were done. It is fault found by every one, but there seems to be no way of remedying it. Some few families have succeeded in getting regular laundresses to join their retinue of serv- ants, but it is still hard thing to manage and the cooks object to it. Wages are high. Cooks get from $15 to $25; these are not remarkable servants, but only ordinary ones. Men, French or Italian culsinius, are much better paid. The merest slip of housemaid will get from $12 to SIS, and the neces- .sary munhaco gets nearly the same.- Good Housekeeping.

STARTLING GLUTTONY.
Hogs in Human Shape Discovered In
 Various Parts of the World.

Hogs in Human Shape Discovered In
 Various Parts of the World.
 The Hottentots, Bushmen and savage South African races generally are enOr- nous gluttons. Ten of them, says Barrow, ate in my presence the whole of an OK all but the hind legs in three days, and the three Boesmans thu ac- companied my wagon devoured sneep on one occasion in less than twenty four hours. In cold climates such feats as these would only be trifies, and Parry and Ross have recorded cases that, were they not well attested, would pass be- lief Sir Edward Parry once tried the capacity of an Esquimau scarcely fully grown, and this interesting young savage contrived, in twenty-four hours, to devour four pounds four ounces of the raw, hard-frozen flesh of a sea-horse, the same quantity of it boiled, one pound twelve ounces of bread and bread-dust, pint and a quarter of rich gravy soup, tumbler of strong grog, three wine-glasses of raw spirit and nine pints of water. Sir John Ross, indeed, believed that the daily rations of an Esquimau were twenty pounds of flesh and blubber, but, in ex- tenuation of so enormous con- sumption as this, the severity of the climate must be taken into account Captain Cochrane, on the authority of the Russian Admiral Saritcheff, tells how one of the Yakuts had consumed the hind quarter of large OK in twenty four hours, together with twenty pounds of fat and proportionate quantity of melted butter. As the man had already gorged himself in this disgusting fash ion it hardly seemed possible that he would be able to consume any more, but the worthy Russian Admiral, to test him, gave the savage thick porridge of rice boiled with three pounds of butter, weighing together twenty-eight pounds. The glutton sat down to this abundant banquet, although he had just partaken of breakfast, and, without stirring from the spot or showing any sign of incon- venience, got through the whole. Cap tain Cochrane adds that good large calf, weighing two hundred pounds, will just make meal for four or five Yakuts, and that he has seen three of them con- sume whole reindeer at one meal. The feats of English working-men, on their annual club feast day, would surpass be- lief; leg of mutton has not been found too much for one man. Dr. Darwin, the father of Charles Darwin, had the repu- tation of being glutton, and is reported to have called a goose-a favorite Salop dish-an inconvenient one, as being too much for one and not enough for two.- Cornhill Magazine.

An Eve to Business.

'I have just been up in Vermont" said Treasury clerk yesterday. "The na- tives have lost none of their cuteness. The town where I was stopping has about 4,5OO inhabitants. One of the se- lectmen runs hardware store, and two weeks ago his dog was bitten by neigh bors dog. It was small enough mat ter, but see what happened. First, he had the neighbor's dog killed; then he raised the cry that the dog had been mad, and had bitten other dogs. The selectmen met and ordered that every dog should be muzzled for forty days, and the thrifty hardware man has sold nearly 800 muzzles at $1 apiece. Staid old family dogs travel around town with leather thongs around their jaws, which never closed on any thing more human than beef bone. I saw one big mas tiff that had worked his muzzle of and was lugging it around in his mouth."- Washington Post.
