At the charity doll show. conducted by
Frank Leslie on Fifth avenue, one of the
things of special interest was doll made
in Mrs. Cleveland's image, life-size. In
trepid visitors, who did not fear the act
sacreligious, were permitted to approach
this doll and give it q gentle squeeze
about the waist. A faint Edisonian
squeal responded, whereupon the bold
hugger retired to be succeeded BY another
intrepid spirit.

Providers of Free Lunches.

The free lunches of upward of 500
saloons in New York are furnished by
one concern. A lunch of ham sand
wiches, behring's, baked beans and crack
ers and cheese is furnished at 81 per day.
The price ranges all the way up to $50.
a $50 lunch comprises big tureeu of
soup, cold lamb, roast beef and corned
beef, four or five big baked pike, chicken,
clam, oyster, sardine or Brie cheese
sandwiches, varied daily; lobster and
chicken salad, and olives, pickles, lettuce,
etc. Everything is of the best. 1t takes
ten cooks the better part of the night to
get the lunches ready for fifteen wagons
to distribute early in the morning. The
solids are placed in baskets and the
liquids in earthen Jars. When the
lunch is delivered at a saloon the at
tendant hands back what is left of the
previous days delivery. That is part of
the contract. The "cold pieces" are
sold to keepers of cheap boarding.
houses. The average price paid daily
by the customers Of this firm is SIS. 1t
pays both the caterers and the saloon
keepers. A first-class saloon cannot be
run now without au appetizing and we'll
served free lunch. An elegant establish
ment not far from where l live never
made any money until few months ago,
when a couple OF enterprising young iel-
lows took hold of it aud set out a free
lunch tit for an epicure. Business picked

Bacon AdiOurns n LeyisIatnre.

II is related that one winter when the
Kentucky Legislature was in a dead.lock
and had passed a sleepless nigLt in ses-
sion, the morning found them still in an
obstinate and ugly mood. All efforts to
adjourn were severely put down. Soon
after the breakfast hour arrived mem.
Der from the Big Sandy country went to
one of the fire. places in the ancient hall
and laid on the hickory Goals a piece of
bacon that he had found in u pocket
sandwich. The appetizing odor grad.
ually filled the room; the sizzling was a
cheerful sound suggesting home, case
and comfort. The members began to
stir confusedly in their chairs. Tae
hostile sides looked at each other sheen
ishly and wistfully. They couldn't help
smiling, and at last broke into a laugh.
An adjournment was moved by several
and carried unanimously. They say
politics is swaYed By phrases, but bit
OF Kentucky bacon did the business this
time. - Cincinnati Times Star.

A Church Built of Coral.

The Seychelles Islands, which are sup.
posed by many to be the site of the
Eden of the Old Testament history, form
an archipelago of ia islands, aud are
situated about 400 miles east of Adel,
and 1000 miles from Zanzibar. They
rise steeply out of the sea, eliminating :
in the Isle of Mahe, which is about 5000
feet above the level of the ocean, and is
nearly the centre of the group. All these
islands are of coral growth. The beaches
which surround them are the most
beautiful in the world, and are of white
calcereous sands iuclosed in coral reefs
of the most subtitle and varied structure.
The reefs form a sort of wall around
the island, and when the suns rays fall
slanting on the sands the shore reflects
here aud there light-tinted rainbows of
the most exquisite shades.
The houses are built of species of
massive coral hewn into square blocks,
which glisten like white marble aud
show themselves to the utmost advantage
in the various tinted green of the thick
tropical palms, whose immense fern-liGe
leaves give pleasant and much needed
shade.
The palms grow as high as 100 feet
and more, oyertopping both the houses
and the coral-built church. They line
the seashore and cover the mountains,
forming in many places extensive for.

Cruel Punishmenls in the Past.

In the matter of punishments, we
have entered upon n time of greater
cruelty than prevailed under the Plan
tagenets. Men are boiled and women
burned for poisoning; heretics are still
dunedin 1885 one thus suffered for
denying the divinity of Christ; ears are
nailed to the pillory and sliced off for
defamation and seditious words: long
and cruel whippings are inflicted in one
case through Westminster and London
for forgery. An immense number are
hanged every year; the chronicler
Machyn continually sets down such
fact as that "on this day XII were
hanged at Tyburn, VII men and V wo-
men," Mariners were hanged at low
water at Mapping for offences commit
ted at sea- the good old custom of pill
lorizing was maintained with zeal; aud
the parading of backsliders in carts or on
horseback was kept up. Thus one wo-
man, for selling fry OF fish unlawfully,
rode triumphantly through the town with
garlands of fish decorating her head and
shoulders and the tail of the horse, while
one went before beating brass bason.
Another woman was carried round,
distatf in her haud aud blue hood on
her head, for a common scold. A men
was similarly honored for selling measly
pork; and another, riding with his head
to the animals tail for doing something
sinful connected with lamb or veal

withered hand.

CurlOsities About Gold.

Gold is so very tenacious that a piece
of it drawn iLtO wire one.twentieth Of an
inch in diameter will sustain a weight of
500 pounds without breaking.
Its malleabilityis is so great that a single
grain may be divided into 1000, 900
parts and a cubic inch into 9,523, 500,
523 parts, each of which may be dis.
tinctly seen by the naked eye.
A grain and a half of gold may be
beaten into leaves of one inch square,
which if intersected by parallel lines
drawn at right angles to each other and
distance only the One-hundreith part of
an inch, will produce $4,000, 600 little
squares, each of which may be distinctly
seen without the use of a glass.
The surface of any given quantity of
gold, according to the best authorities,
may be extended by the hammer $40, 1874
times. The thickness of the metal thus
extended appears to be no more than the
SOS. 020th of an inch. Eight ounces OF
this wonderful metal would gild a silver
wire of sufficient length to extend en-
tirely around the globe -RshoJoM Sun

Upon the vines had we heard that strain

Amber clear as a prisoned ray

Then out of the jostling crowd he came
With his crook-necke1 flask and his clink

Savage or half-civilized princes often
prefer death to exile in foreign coun-
try. Malietoa, the King of Samoa,
jumped overheard when the Germans
took him to the Gilbert Islands, and was
not rescued with his own consent. Three
chiefs OF the Comoro Islands, off the
East African coast, were taken away
from home tbree months ago on account
of the revolution which they headed
against the French. They were very uu-
happy on board ship, and when the ves-
sci reached Obock they tried to jump
overheard, and were placed in irons to
prevent further suicidal attempts.

What Becomes of All Old Hats 2

What becomes of all old hats 2 q" We
have about 200 old hats strewed along
under the counters and in the back
ROOM" said South Clark street halter.
" From ten TO twenty. five tramps come
in daily and ask for hat, yet our
refuse supply seems undiminished. The
tramps are glad to see cool or rainy
weather at this time of the year. They
know that it will drive in the straw hats,
and they will fall heir to them. After
these straw hats have done service all
summer the tramps wear them all winter.
For a summer hat the tramp gets the
cast-off winter hat. He reserves the
fashion. A great majority, however,
take their old hats home and lay them
up for rainy or a snowy day. Some
people will wear straw hat two sea-
sons, but the great majority give them
to the poor. We send large number
to the charitable institutions. A great
many hats are left to be called for. If
not called for within thirty days we give
them away. Sometimes sharpers attempt
their little games on us. A small man
left his hat here, buying a cutoff crown
hat. The one he left was out of shape,
had lost its gloss and color, and was
worthless. He did not say that he would
return for it, nor did he say that he
would not. We put it aside, but when
he called for it we could not find it at
the moment. He then claimed that it
was a good hat aud demanded S. for it.
We made thorough search, found the
battered tile and handed it to him.
Seeing that his scheme had failed he
threw the old hat into the street. -

The project OF DEMONSTRATING the ST.
berian reindeer in Alaska promises well,
thinks the Boston Transcript. Captain
Healy, of the revenue steamer Bear, pur-
chased several deer of the Siberian ma
tivcs during his recent cruise and
brought four TO Alaska. There is little
doubt but that they will thrive, as the
moss upon which they feed is plentiful

It is said that few years ago some of
the members of foreign legations in
Washington gave the police no end of
trouble. They knew that they could
not be punished for any ordinary misde-
meanor, and frequently raised row on
the streets. When arrested they had
to be released as soon as identified. FL
nally the police tried new dodge. They
had few sluggers loadng around the
station, who made 1t point to pitch into
the foreigners, and give them black
eyes and bloody noses. This quieted the
riotous members of the legation, and for
lone time past they have gwen the po-
ice very little trouble.
