SLAVES OF THE COOK.
New York Society People Unable to Dine
at Home on Sundays.

New York Society People Unable to Dine
at Home on Sundays.
Cooks have their rights as well as
other people, and that is the one reason
why the restaurants of New York are
crowded every Sunday night by people
who have numerous servants, including
capable cooks. 1t was custom for
many years. nobody knows exactly
why, says the New York Sun, to eat a
heavy dinner in the middle of the day
on Sunday. During the prevalence of
this custom the cooks made it q point
to take Sunday night off, and that
point has now become prcrogGtive.
Men who dine six days in the week at
seven are Invariably overloaded and
uncomfortable when they dine in the
middle of the day on Sunday. The
effort to have Sunday night dinner at
seven o'clock has resulted in flat and
indubitable failure wherever attempted
by householdcrs, and so the knot has
been cut by allowing the cook to have
her regular Sunday night off. while
the master of the house and his wife
go to restaurant and the children
scurry about for thcmseles. If
stranger in New York is anxious TO see
y
cial, legal and other professional men of
New York city at dinner with their
wives be should visit Dclmonico's, the
brunswick, the Savoy, Waldorf or New
Netherlands hotel any Sunday night
ut about seven o'clock. 1t is u curious
phase of New York life. Famous men
of every conceivable walk of life dine
ont at these places. The general public
is familiar with their faces. bat not
with those of their wives. There is
often very strong contrast, as, for
instance, a small, famous lawyer and
his ponderous, doninceriDg wife. who
tips the beam at two hundred and fifty
pounds and bullies the waiter; Il
famous statesman, whose wife is
palpably jealous at his slightest
glance at his neighbors; an eminent
judge OF sixty and his hirtatious wife
Of twenty. and so ON ipterminably.

hIENAS OF THE DANJeE.
PlunderInG the Many Dead Bodies That
Float Down the River.


Float Dawn tho River.
A rainful sensation has been created
here, says n V;euna correspondent of
the London. Tc.es raph, by an article in
one of the Vienna daily papers, Ell titled
Tho IIycmas OF the Danube" in which
u grewsome,y realistic description is
given of the annua. appearance of hun
drcds of corpses floating down the river
between Vienna and Hungary, which
are regularly plundered by the people
on the banks, and then cynically
thrown back into the swift current of
the stream never to be heard of again.
Tho writer considers this horrible
state of things mainly in a judicial
light, and complains of the serious
losses thus inflicted upon the living in
consequence of the absence OF all clew
to the fate of their unfortunate rcla-
tives. Year after year" he atfirns,
"hundreds of life,ess bodics--thc NOR
tai remains of suicides, victims of
crime and victims of accidents-rise to
the surface of the Danube, are swept
along with the current, and washed
up on the land on one bank or the 9TH
er Here they are discovered by the
'hyenas,' who rifle the corpses, and
then, as rule, kick them back on the
waves, after which no human being
worries about them more Thousands
of people vanish from the scene in this
manner, no ono ever learning what
fate bcfell them. Blood-curdling
crimes remain undiscovered, and the
uncertainty whether man is dead or
will return again to his family and
friends is often fraught with heavy
losses to the latter. No mound marks
the spot where these unfortunate peo-
pie rest; they are struck out of the
roll-call of humanity; no trace reveals
the course of their last long journey;
they have simply vanished from the
world like the lost wandercr of the
desert who is buried beneath enormous
sand waves, or like the famished trav-
eler in the wilderness whose body be-
comes the food Uf birds of prey. And
yet we are living in Europe.

MISS cHlcAGo's eREEzY WAY.

Lf-cning Things Up Among tho Sp:ritlcss
Guests ut n Hotel.
One morning as we We're having n
melancholy breakfast as n prelude to u
melancholy day, says writer in the
Washington Post, Miss Chicago ap-
pearcl upon the scene with bright
eyes, red checks. ribbons flying and
feathers nodding.
"Why, how do You do?" cried her
.hccry young voice, $50 glad to sec
you. Haven't heard n word from you
since we crossed on the Victoria to-
Ecthcr What are you doing here? /
have come to console gonty father;
am afraid it will be nwfully stupid, but
come and bowl with me after break
fast and we will talk it over" All
this was delivered SO rapidly had no
opportunity to interrupt. Bowl with
you, my dear little child?" l asked.
"Thc alleys have been closed for
weeks" "Were closed, you mean," said
Miss Chicago. Now they are open,
and l have discovered two little ne
grocs, whom I'm going to dress in red
flannel zouave suits, who wait to do
my bidding. We will bowl at ten,
have Turkish bath at twelve, ride at
four, play pool before dinner, and
dance afterward."
And it was even SO. Every place of
amusement connected with the hotel
had been closed. Miss Chicago turned
the key which unlocked all the doors,
and during the rest of my stay at the
hotel we had the gayest sort of a
time. Everybody was happier be-
cause of the presence of this bright
young western girl. The invalids
smiled when she passed them, the
servants rushed to do her bidding; the
very animals seemed to know when
she was near. ! left her here, but l
know there was weeping and wailing
when she came to take her departure.

CUNNING OF cRocoDlLEs.

They Escape the Net Spread Tor Ihem oy
Isurrowing in the Mud.
The following is a fair sample of how
cunningly crocodiles, in common with
all. other wild animals, can conceal
themselves in moments of danger, says
the Westminster Gazette. After a
happy week spent in the jungle with
friend of mine we halted for break
fast, before making the last stage for
headquarters and home, at place
called oonarhyn-Anglice, garden of
flowers-and while at breakfas' were
amused by watching 4 number of croc-
odiles, about eight or ten, summing
themselves on the surface of n small
lake, or tank, as it is there called, of
about an acre in extent. A sudden
thought struck me.
81 say, Murray, what fun it would be
to try and catch some of these beggars
in a net" ':Bravo!' said he. Lets
try it presently. Appu, send the horse
keeper to the village and tell him to
bring up all the men he can find and
some long fishing nets We will give
good santosun' (present.
The villagers scented some fun, and
with the further stimulus of n santo-
Der of thirty. 1t was now eleven oclocls
and scorching hot, the air quivering
over the bare, sandy plain in which
the pond was situated. 1t was breast
deep, as we knew, including about one
foot or eighteen inches of heavy mud.
We tied two nets together SO as to
make one long enough to reach across
the tank, about thirty yards and this
was heavily weighted along the bot
tom and arranged to be drawn with
long ropes from each shore.
Immediately behind the net came n
line, and men about n yard apart, with
long, pointed poles with which to prod
the mud along the bottom of the net,
and SO drive the malingering gentle
men into proper position in front OF
the net. My friend and his servant
for all entered into the sport) fol-
lowed close up to the second line.
At it we all now went, splashing,
shouting, stamping and hauling, but
big but-not sign did we find Of
single one of the brutes that we had
seen before us when we came to the
edge of the water. We dragged that
water backward and forward more
than once, but our only reward was a
deadly thirst that lasted us till late
that night
They had burrowed deeper into the
mud than we could reach them. for
nothing-I doubt il even n rat-could
have cscnned unseen out of the water.
