And the Mistake That Two Young Ladies'
from Maine Made About 1t.
Billy Park introduced the public to
musty ale and broAed live lobster, says
the Boston Courier. The musty ale be-
came famous, and 1t became necessary
for dealers in beer to keep something
for their customers bearing that name
But somehow no other kind tasted so
good as that sold by Billy Park The
fame Of the musty ale penetrated to the
wilds Of Maine, the SUBMITS of the
Green mountains of Vermont and the
granite hills Of New Hampshire. Anent
its fame in this respect l heard a good
story the other day. Two young ladies
from Maine, where, by the way, there
is no beer Sold were visiting Boston,
and having at home heard of the musty
ale. resolved to try it in restaurant
where they were dining, This being an
afterthought, they were obliged to re-
call the waiter. When he came they had
forgotten the adjective that describes
and gives the ale its fame. They looked
at each other and at the waiter in en-
barrassment AT length one of them
smiled.
IT have got it," she said to her COM
panion.
Then turning to the waiter she gave
him, with all the dignity and politeness
appropriate to the occasion. the order:
please bring us two glasses of
smoky ale"

A CHINESE SALOONIST.

Chew Gum Is Said to Be the Pioneer
Celestial in Barkoeping.
Chew Gum is the first Chinese in
Stockton to trespass upon the domain
of the American saloonkeeper, says the
Stockton Mail.
Some months ago he took out license
to run saloon, and recently opened
wholesale and retail liquor-store and
bar on the north side of Washington
street, between Hunter and Ell Dorado
streets. When fully established in bust
ness Chew Gum visited his white
brethren in the same business and pre-
scented his card, soliciting their patron
age in the wholesale line. He entered
one saloon on California street and
made himself known, pre-empting a
chair and cooking his feet up on the
ice-chest in true American style.
aren't you going to treat?" asked
the proprietor of the place.
ooh, yes; tleat you; come down my
place." was the willy reply, as the
Chinese had no idea of parting with
his nickels. The Monaghan saloonist
is now dealing out cocktails and
straight goods to a motely crowd Of
Chinese and whites. The Chinese do
not know a Manhattan cocktail from
a silver fzz; but those drinks are not in
vogue in Chinatown, so he does not
worry over his lack of knowledge.

A robust young man, wearing thick

Saturday night, says the Philadelphia

streets the pair were closely scrutinized
by big policeman. Arrived at his

to his stout friend, and the latter start

Sixteenth street the policeman grabbed
him. Pretty slick guy, you are" he
claimed "but I'm on to that little over

What do you mean, sir?" demanded
the indignant citizen. you just take a

the cop, "and tell the sergeant how you

Protestations were in vain The mad
man, with the terra-cotta overcoat, had
to submit, and only the presence Of his
thin friend, whom he promptly sent
for, saved him from cell.

why Is the Negro nlacIs2

II the conclusions of M. Jauffert, the
great French scientist, are to be relied
upon, there is no reason why the skin
of the African should be black and
that of Scandinavian of milky fairness
that is to say, there are no apparent
causes for this wide variation in color.
Jauffert says: "The skin of the Afri-
can negro is of exactly the same an
the fair-slzined flaxen-haired Morse
man. 1t may also be shown that
in the mucous layers of the skin of
dark compleXioned whites pigment
cells similar to those found in the ne
gro's skin are developed in exactly the
same way they are in the blacklist AZ

same nature as the blaclsness which
has suffused the entire skin of many of
the tropical barbarian tribes.

HOW SARDOU WRITES.
The Great Dramatist Builds a Play In
Scientific Fashion.

The Great Dramatlst Builds Play In
Scientific Fashion.
Sardou's way of working is as fol-
lows: The moment an idea occurs to
him he puts it down. and all the various
notes, documents and particulars which
have to do with this idea are joined to-
gether, forming sort Of dossier. When
the idea is crystallized into dramatic
shape, Sardou writes scenario of a
few pages, giving the skeleton, as 1t
WERE of the whole play. Then he puts
the work aside. All his various schemes
are treated in the same way. He has
at the present day from seventy to
eighty dossiers in his drawers, out Of
which eight or ten plays will come. So,
when he has to write a drama or
comedy, he only chooses. For instance,
Theodore" was written fifteen years
after it originated in the authors mind.
AS soon as Sardou's choice Is made he
reads over all the accompanying notes
and documents which pertain to that
play and then he begins to write the
drama or comedy, act by act, scene by
scene, as they come into his mind.
When he has done this preliminary
work he rewrites the piece on large
white Quarto paper The play is then
reduced and condensed. 1t is this Sec
ond manuscript which is given to the
copyist, to whom is intrusted the care
of putting it in shape. All this writing
is ordinarily done at Marty. Sardou is
not disturbed there as he is in Paris.
