a task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.

at Hanoi, on the Red river, when his
birthday anniversary occurred, and he
started in to celebrate the event. He
soon saw what the inevitable result
would be. He therefore hired two
strapping big Chinese coolies to follow
him around, and as soon as they saw
certain symptoms which he explained,
they were instructed to seize him bod
lily, regardless Of resistance on his part,
and carry him, if necessary, to the
house where he lodged, put him to

The symptoms showed themselves be-
fore he got ready to surrender, and
the result was one Of the most remark
able episodes I ever witnessed. First
he tried to argue with the porters
but he had previously told them not

and when they would not listen to him
he tried to fight them off, but they were
very much stronger than he, and their
fee was a contingent one, which they
were determined not to lose through
any fault Of their own At last he APP
pealed to us to help him, but we sided
with the coolies, and reminded them

they allowed him to escape. So he was
bundled off and put to bed in spite
Of himself; nor did he get out again

Drawing Evil Influences Out of Beer.
covery made by bright New York
woman, who once said to me, after Wis.
iting a gallery filled with the works
Of the most conspicuous French i'm
pressionists, that she had seen the
effect that absinthe produces upon the
brain of the French artist. IL
But it is not absinthe alone that
produces these striking effects Too
great indulgence in any liquor is apt to
do the same; even the comparatively
innocent German lager beer has it's
victims. The cashier in Il leading Ger
man restaurant in this city called my
attention one night to Il well dressed,

one end of the bar
II want to introduce him to YOU"
s,iid the cashier, ''and you ask him to
take a drink, anC you will see some
thing funny" I did as suggested, and
tho two glasses Of beer were placed on
the counter before us. Before he
would touch the glass my guest held his
hand above it, tightly closed, with the
exception Of the index finger, which
hung down, and which he whirled
around the glass with the most as
founding rapidity. Gradually raising
his hand, he tapered off in speed and
reduced the size Of the circles, finishing
with a grand flourish up in the air,
as if to draw all evil influences out
of the beer in an imaginary whirlpool.
He then took up his glass and bowed
his respects to me- as if he had done
nothing whatever unusual.

loon and restaurant would invariably
come in, take a seat at a table, after
hanging his hat upon a peg on the

He won't order anything at that ta-
ble," said one of the walters to me.
HE will put on his hat and overcoat,
as if going out, and go to some other
table before he orders anything But
after he starts in, he is likely to sit for
several hours drinking beer and eating
a picked herring
True enough, as if to illustrate the
walters assertion, the old man got up,
put on his hat and coat and started for
the door. When about half way out
he turned around and sought a seat
| at another table, from which he Or
dered beer and a picked herring. Be-
| fore ordering the herring, however, he
called for the bill Of fare, and studied
it carefully from top to bottom. The

Led herring, no matter what else there
