Keeps Tab on the Walters.

In big Fulton Street restaurant
there is a man with peculiar speci-
ality. 1t must have taken him years
OF pratice to perfect himself in it, and
as far as is known he has his unique
field all to himself. He stands at a
desk directly opposite thestairs which
lead to the kitchen, and the walters
in going and returning therefrom have
to pass before him. On the desk is q
great card with g. list OF every solid
and liquid that the restaurant sells
running down the side of it. AS the
walters pass from the kitchen they
swing their trays toward him and at
a glance he makes a. mental list of
everything upon them and writes their
prices down upon a card with electric
rapidity. During the busy hours his
pen is kept going necessarily, and he
never makes g. mistake, and when the
day closes the proprietors have the
record of it's sale before them to the
final and exact penny. He is g. vari-
ETY. Of automatic cash register that
ought never to fail to find a market.

Dentistry for Animals.

When Gagged animals have thetooth.
ache they suffer the same as human
beings. In their greediness to eat
their dinner they may snap a bone SO
hard as to loosen one of their teeth.
This gives them excruciating pain and
the tooth must be extracted before
they can find relief. Now a lion or a
tiger hates to have tooth extracted
as much as q boy, and sometimes the
operation hurts great deal more.
Very frequently the tooth has to be
knocked out OF the jaw with ham
mer or at least loosened so that the
big pinchers can pull it out. The ami
NAL has to be tied and the jaw held
open with a gag before the tooth can
be taken out It, might we'll seem to
his lordship that his prosecutors were
about to kill him, but when the
troublesome tooth is finally out he
shows his relief by wagging his tail.
His intelligent eyes seem to say that
he understands now why they made
such a fuss, and he is thankful to
them for it, but when it comes to have
another tooth extracted he is Just al
sullen and angr Epoch, !,

Owned by the Crown.

In China all the land belongs to the
state; and a trifing sum per acre,
never altered through long centuries,
is paid for it by the occupier as rent.
The soil in China is so rich that the
holdings are generally very small, and
it has been estimated that squaFe
mile is capable Of supporting $3.50
persons. In this country, nominally,
owners of the land hold it of tie
crown. Although, however, as nd
mitted by Lord Bramwell in letters
to the Times, this is technically true,
yet it is most misleading, as oWners
OF a fee simple estate in land in this
country have for all practical pur-
poses as absolute ownership in the
land they hold. If an owner dies I'M
testate without heirs his land reverts
to the crown, though the owner had
the power OF disposal had he so wish
ed. Under similar circumstances a
mans personal property as we'll as
his land, if he dies intestate With no
next of kin, goes to the crown.-Ian-
cester (Eng.) News.

NAMING BABIES.
Peculiar Customs Observed by
Different Nationalities.

Peculiar Customs Observed by
Different Nationalities.
In some countries curious customs
prevail in regard to selecting a. name
for the baby.
A Hindoo baby is named when it is
II days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes thefather wishes
for another name than that selected
by the mother; in that case two
lamps are placed over the two names,
and the name over which the lamp
burns the brightest is the one given
to the child. .z...".... .
In an Egyptian family the parents
choose name for their baby by light
ing three wax candles, to each of these
they give a name, one of the three
always belonging to some deifed
parsonage. The candle that burns
the longest bestows the name upon
the baby y =
The Mohammedans sometimes
write desirable names on five slips of
paper, and these they place in the
Koran. The name upon the first
slip drawn out is given to the child,
The children of the Amos, people
living in Northern Japan, do not
receive their names until they are 5
years old. It is the father WHO then
chooses the name by which the child
is afterward called. r--..
The Chinese give their boy babies a
name in addition to their surnames,
and they must call themselves by
these names until they are 20 years
old. At that age the father gives his
son a new name.
The Chinese care so little for their
girl babies that they do not give them
a baby name, but just call them
Number One, Number Two, Number
Three, according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more of
in China than girls are that if you ask
a Chinese father who has both a boy
and q girl how many children he has
ne will always reply "Only one
child"
German parents sometimes change
the name of their baby if it is i'll; and
the Japanese are said to change the
name OF child four times.

PEMBERTON CARLIsLE'S DEATH.
Inquest Upon the Remains Last Monday
death Was Accidental.

A jury was last Monday empaneled by
Coroner Charles II. Sparks in the case Of
Pemberton Carlisle, a resident of Philadel-
phia, who was decapitated by a train on
the Philadelphia, WilmingtonS Baltimore
railroad tracks near the yards of the Jack
son IL Sharp Company, on Saturday even
ing last
Tn. only person who could throw any
light upon the mans death was John
Bowers, who, in the absence of James
Keefe, the regular Waterman, was on duty
at the p, w. IL BIS Brandywine bridge
the night of the accident. When asked to
explain his absence from the bridge the
night of the accident Keefe stated that he
had gone to his home, No. 600 Church
street, for his supper.
This admission of Keefe that he was not
on duty at the bridge the night the acct
dent occurred, or at least at the time the
accident occurred, raised the question in
the minds of the jury as to whether there
was not contributary negligence on the
part of the company in causing Carlisles'
death, it having been proven that the man
possessed of the regular duties in taking
charge of the bridge was absent the night
of the accident and an irresponsible man
on duty In his stead.
While all agreed that the bridgetender
had been derelict in his duty in leaving
the bridge in charge of second person,
when he was supposed to be about the
bridge, yet the majority of the Jury were
not disposed TO censure the railroad COM
pany for an accident which they believed
Unavoidable. Some of the jury could not
see how, by leaving his post at the bridge,
the bridgetender was in any way respon-
sible for the accident, and consequently,
the majority voted for verdict Of acct
dental death.
