Eight IN A HoTEL.-The main din

FIGHT IN A HoTEL.-The main din
ing room of the Holland House WAS
crowded with guests at s O'Clock Sat
urday evening, when an event happen
ed that created the most intense ex-
element for short time. Ernest Slei-
borg. discharged waiter, suddenly
rushed into the room uttering wild yells
and curses, and attempted to assault
proprietor Klnsley, who was quietly
eating his dinner at rear table. The
walters attempted to stop Sreiborg
and terrific fight followed, Ladies
screamed and fled into tho street and
into the corridor, followed by their es,
corts. The struggling men overturned
a heavy table loaded with viands and
costly porcelain and glassware. Hotel
Detective Byrnes heard the row ana
ran in from the Office and took hand
in the fight, but Sreiborg was strong
and he had been drinking enough to
make him desperate. lie was not over
powered until several other tables had
been swept of all that was upon them,
and when he was finally subducd the
carpet was covered with broken crock
cry and glassware. Then the
detective and four walters took
him to the West Thirtieth street po-
lice station, where he was locked up.
Sreiborg was sorry spectacle as he
stood before the sergeant's desk. lie
was attired in a walters dress suit, but
his clothes had been almost torn from
him in the fight and were cut in many
places by the broken glass. He was
covered with blood from the blows OF
his antagonists, and had evidently been
rolled over in the meat, gravy and wine
upon the floor. He is q trenchman
about five feet eight inches tall, dark
and heavily built. Dishonest walters
sometimes lose their check books on pur-
pose, thus enabling dishonest cashier
to swindle the proprietor. The rule at
the Holland House has been for some
time to impose fine upon a waiter for
losing his book. Sreiborg lost his last
week, and for this and other offences
was told to leave. He went to the ho-
tel for his pay on Monday and became
very much enraged when he found
that fine had been deducted from 1t.
He had an angry alteration with Man
ager Hartman, and refused to take the
money, and left demanding his full
wages.-N. Y. Herald.

To Conceal the Ewes.

An exquisite species of embroidery pecu
liar to Persia has its origin in utility, and
a utility such as one would never dream OF
in this country. The ladies of Persia must
completely conceal not only their faces, but
even their eyes, when walking abroad But
as it is also indispensable that they should
be able to see, a network has been devised
for them to wear before the eyes, through
which they can see without being seen. II
may be said here that they do not object tC
this apparently severe law of the land, fol
law it is as well as custom. By means Of
this veil they are so absolutely disguised
that they can go where they please without
being followed or molested. Not even q
woman's husband would dare to lift the
veil or chuddah. He would be cut down on
the spot without mercy.
Now it is in the embroidering of the hat
tice work designs of the chuddah that
Persian women display marvellous skill
with the needle. 1t is made of white cam.
brio, drawn and worked in geometric de.
signs in white thread or silk. Some OF
these patterns display exquisite beauty
and delicacy; those which are old are al.
most like gossamer, and are of soft
creamy tint.-S. c. w. Benjamin in Har.

A State Occasion In India.

In India when a native chief goes out
he is accompanied by a sowari-literally a
riding" of ministers, servants, guards
and attendants of all sorts. Formerly all
rode, but with good roads good carriages
have been introduced, and usually in these
days only the horsemen of the guard ride.
But on state occasions, led horses, richly
caparisoned, always form part of the show,
and there are many animals in princely
stables kept solely for professional pur-
poses.
The animals most liked are the stations
of Marwar or Kathiawar. White horses
with pink points, piebalds and leopard
spotted beasts are much admired, especial
ly when they have pink Roman noses and
light colored eyes, with an uncanny eX
preston. Their crippled, highly archet
necks, CURLY hooks, rocking gait and para
lytic prancing often proclaim them as tri
umphs of training-John L. Kipling il
Popular Science Monthly.

more quickly performed, as generally
favored on large farms, especially where
the farmers have not sufficient help. OF
the two notwithstanding in the fall and in
the spring-the latter seems to produce the
most satisfactory results. Seed sown early,
even on poorly prepared ground does much
better than when sOwn late under the best
conditions Of soil Although the sowing in
rows requires more time and more work at
first, and consequently is more expensive,
it has great advantage over the broadcast
method Washington Cor st. Louis

How to Write a Boys Stosy.
Twas talking recently with writer of
serial stories whose name is on almost
every boys lips, and asked him the secret
of writing good juvenile.
"Good healthy, stirring action-plenty of
it-spiced with romance and told in a racy,
breezy style. There is the whole thing in
a nutshell" said he. by long experience
have gathered pretty correct ideas as to
what boys want, and ] rarely fail to take
hold of them now. / owe everything to
the editors of various boys periodicals,
with whom / became acquainted early in
my literary career. They told me what
was wanted, and the success have OBJ.
tanned proves the truth of their ideas.
For a good boys serial you must have
strong incident to begin with. This
must be completely treated in the first in
stallment, aid then y2anr. must make that
lead on to the main s,.5t In such way as
to draw the interest of boy into reading
further. OF course you have to end your
installments at interesting points-these
tyrants of editors demand that. Then the
structure of your story ought to be as fol-
lows: You ought to have your main plot
deeply interesting, with a touch of mys-
stery in it-running through the whole
and growing in intensity so as to make a
fine climax at the end; then each install
ment ought to have a strong incident
bearing on and complicating the main
plot, while it serves vlsio other purpose Of
enlisting the readers interest, no matter
| what number of the story paper he may
pick up. When say incident mean al
ways an incident Of action. Boys dom
mind character study, but your heroes
| must reveal their characters in action, no
by talking. Boys are as quick as olde
readers in detecting buncombe or bombast
They want hero, but he must prove him
self such by brave, honest endeavor, no
by preaching. Cor. Brooklyn Standard
