Great Financiers Who Tear Paper.

The propensity to tear paper intobttl
bits is peculiar to Wall street brokers.
Visitors in the Stock exchange fire.
quently comment on the fact that the
floor Of the large boardroom is thiclzly
strewn with tiny pieces of paper. Each
broker carries q small memorandum
pad, and as he becomes excited he tears
off page and proceeds to convert into
the largest number Of inhnitesimal
pieces of which his fingers are capable.

Mr.. Jay Gould is also somewhat adj

How ohinanlan KiIIs a Chicken.

One might imagine that the China
man who gorges himself with broilcd
rats and birds nest soup would eat any
kind of meat prepared in any manner,
but such is not the case. John China
man has his religious notions about
such things as well as other people.
Many of the almond eyed inhabitants Of
Chicago are not very good Buddhists.
Since coming 80 the city they have be-
come apostate. But watch the orthodox
Chinaman when he goes to the marISel
for his Sunday chicken. He viii not
take dead one because the probabili
ties are that the fellow who killed it was
not believer in Gautama and may have
chopped its head off with hatchet. HIS
chicken must have it head on and bc
very much alive.
John will go to the coop and stir the
feathered prisoners mp with stick. If
he finds one that cackles and 1utters
about ia lively manner he will buy ii.
He has no use for dumpish, siclziy ~
pearing fowl.
Having made u selection lie takes tho
chicken home alive, gets out dirty lit-
tie image, kneels before it. makes some
queer motions with his hands, mumbles
few words, takes from shelf or
drawer a knife with double edged
blade which u extremely sharp, and
with much ceremony whacks off tie
head Of tbe fowl. This done he returns
to the image, and kneeling again apollo
gizes for having committed such L wick
ed deed and proceeds to prepare tile
chicken for dinner. Chicago Tribune.
