they kept a piece of red-hOt wire in a

.'s'ay Before YOu Eat

The proprietor of a French cafe in
Paris. on the Rue de POntOisc. was
very much annoyed by po,r CUSTOM
crs who took advantage of the tenn
pnrary absence of the walters to step
ont without paving their bills.
Finally, he PIT up all around the
cafe. inside. argenotircs-~Pay Before
You Eat" The principal dish was a
very thin but palatable soup served in
large. deep bowls.
One day a man came in, and sitting
down before a large bowl of soup
which had just been poured out, he
began 10 help himself.
A waiter came up and said, PAY
before YOU eat"
Il guess not. always eat first"
Not here. Our rule is, as you see,
pay first"
Il don't pay first" said the man. and
he continued TO help himself TO the
soup. when. to his intense astOnlsh-
men,. the waiter pulled out OF his
pocket an immense wooden syringe.
and dipping the nozzle of it into the
soup bowl. drew the soup all out of
the bowl into the syringe.
VIII YOU pay now" said the waiter
holding the syringe suspended over
the edge of the empty bowl.
Tie man concluded he would obey
the rules. a. the waiter had him at his
mercy. and back the soup went.
The proprietor Of that cafe must
have had a little Yankee blood III his
veins. lie would make his fortune in
America.-louth'S Companion.

They Talk With Their Fingers.

II has been a mystery TO many for
a long time how some of the members
of the City Council managed to keep
their secrets and their plans from
leaking out. For several months they
have kept their own counsel and all
attempts by outsiders to get an ink

government affairs was fruitlc>>. At
each monthly meeting. however. some
thing rev bobbed up Is a result OF
them having their heads together and
keeping strictly TO themselves future
plans.
There was 80 mrch talk and so
much wondering a. to how a body of
four or five Eicn could be 50 mum and
yet IT each and every meeting of the
City Council understand each other
so well. that a reporter of the DEMO

mystery and hc went Ia work on the
job. He soon discovered that the

A NOBLE BEG0AR.
One of the Most Remarkable Of the Sigh
nE nnlnn

One of the Most Remarkable 81 the slghti
OF London.
One of he most remarkable specta-
cles one sees in London is that Of a man
playing a barrel organ through the
streets. He is sometimes accompanied
by his wife, who gathers the pieces Of
money contributed by auditors
The organ is a particularly good one;
1t must have cost q small fortune, for it
has five cylinders and discourses fifty
tunes.
But the most remarkable feature OF
all is the plscard ~surmounting the or
gan, and announcing that the man
playing the instrument is the son Of an
Earl, compelled b. parental tarshness I'd
Earn his living.
The placard speaks truly, for this &c;
centric person is the yiscount Hinton,
son Of a noble Earl. This eccentric in
dividual quarrelled with his father four:
teen years ago. and since then has led q
life of vicissitude.
He first took to vocalism In the Lon
don music halls, and enjoyed fair
success, Until finally mis- voice failed
him, and he had to adopt other means
for q livelihood. 1t occurred t him t
turn t~roubadour; he secured a fine bar
rel organ on credit, and proceeded to
tour the highways and byways of the
metropolis
His two children were adopted by the
dowager Duchess of Cleveland. the son
is a subaltern in the Welsh fusileers;
XII A. J.,-b.,. :. . a ssl,.at
Whenever lIinton's father comes to
town, Hinton serenades the old GENTLE
man, grinding away for hours at a time
in the street in front of the hotel.
Now, fond OF music though he is. the
noble Earl docs not particularly pine tJ
real il d~isconrsed by his scapegrace son
and heir at the business ond Of a hurdy-
gurdy; so. as you ran perhaps imagine;
the noble Earl makes precious few visits
to London, and when he does come his
stay is exceedingly brief.
As for the Viscount Hinton, he pro-
fesses to be happy, and he certainly is
independent Ills habits arc good, and
he is generous to a fault Not long ago
he was grinding out his dolorous music

min >trcl performers. His compassion
Vas moved. Come here, miss" said
be kindly. "and I'll give way to you for
awhile; we'll take turns. for surely
there's enough room here for US ALL"
Every now and again Hinton donates
his service, to some charitable object.
at such times the placard on the organ
that 'the Viscount Hinton
performs to-day FOR tho benefit OF" such
such an Institution, and in this wise
has turned over considerable money
to one hospital and another. Hinton
talks very temperately about his father;
that the old gentleman will live
many years; says he Is in no hurry to
succeed to the estates, as he and his
are making enough money to live
